For the vast majority of foreigners, the biggest difference in China is that there is a night market.

Even at ten o'clock or eleven o'clock in the evening, in the first-tier cities, it is still very lively outside.

Most of the shops are not closed, and there are many pedestrians.

This is something that even developed countries cannot do.

It's like a magnesium country, once the sun goes down, it's much quieter outside.

And after 10 o'clock in the evening, except for the wealthy areas, or the city center, most of the street lights will be turned off.

Many people from the magnesium country came to China and were amazed that the night in this developing country could be so lively and prosperous.

At this time Toby. This is the case with Emmerich, as a person who has lived and worked in Los Angeles and New York all year round, he often feels that these two places are much quieter when it comes to night.

And it's not very safe, you need to drive a car when you go out, otherwise, anything can happen.

Los Angeles and New York are two of the most developed cities in the United States.

At this moment, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and he put on a nunzi coat.

With his hands in his pockets, his neck shrunched, facing the cold wind, he stood at the door of a theater in Yanjing's XC district, watching the pedestrians coming and going, he was shocked.

It's so late, there are fewer children, and there are fewer old people, but there are many young people.

Groups of young people, the streets are full of youthful atmosphere.

"Was that the same way it used to be? There are so many people at this time?"

Next to Toby stood a middle-aged man in his thirties, named Vesak, who was Warner's liaison in Huaxia and usually worked in Yenching.

He is about 1.8 meters tall and weighs about 190 pounds.

At this time, he was wearing a down coat and a scarf, and he looked even thicker, like a heavy lifter.

Wisak nodded, "Yes, there were so many people before. ”

He took a deep breath and continued, "It's actually winter now, so there's less crowding, and if it's summer, there's more crowding. ”

"Aren't they worried about security?"

"Don't worry, there are very few violent incidents here, the cost of fighting here is very high, there are few people making trouble, and there is a lot of surveillance on the street, you look ahead."

Toby looked up and saw a young woman walking slowly with a cup of milk tea.

"It's safe for girls to travel at night, and no one is worried about safety."

Toby found it incredible, but he didn't understand why a developing country had so much electricity, and he didn't understand why there were street lights in the suburbs.

But as a smart man, he knew very well that he had not come to investigate such a social phenomenon.

You just need to know this, you don't need to understand why.

"Do people here like to watch movies?"

Toby had just gone to the cinema with Visa for a while, and the attendance was about the same as in the beautiful country, but he felt that the people here spent less on the movie than in the beautiful country.

People in beautiful countries will buy Coke popcorn when they watch movies.

The audience he just saw seemed to be more focused on the movie itself and watched it more seriously.

"It's okay, the film market in China has been growing, although the growth is relatively slow, but it has been increasing."

Toby nodded, he was understandable about that.

After all, this thing has a lot to do with the living standards of ordinary people.

In fact, Hollywood has long had a survey in this regard, and after the per capita income reaches 10,000 US dollars, ordinary people will spend more money on movies, games, or other hobbies.

The overall per capita income of China at this time was less than 10,000 US dollars.

But like some big cities, there are already 10,000 US dollars in coastal areas.

In the future, as more and more places have a per capita income of more than 10,000 US dollars, the country's film market will become bigger and bigger.

Vesak paused for a moment and continued: "I think people in this country love to watch movies, and there are some movies that I think are terrible, but they still do well at the box office. ”

Toby nodded his head as several men in police uniforms walked past them.

Toby couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Vesak was indifferent.

"Aren't you worried?"

"These people are not police, they are security guards, and the police here are very good, as long as you don't cause trouble, they won't care about you."

Visak looked in the direction of the sun's set, as if he saw a beautiful country.

"In the beautiful country, I always check all kinds of documents, but there are almost no here."

When Toby heard this, he felt a little unsure of how to answer for a while.

Isn't this a developing country?

How do you feel more free and safer than in a beautiful country?

When he was in the beautiful country, the most news he saw about China was that it was chaotic, full of violence, unruly, and unfriendly to foreigners.

Now it seems that all the reporters from the beautiful country are making it up.

It is a country with a large population, rapid development, very security, and great potential.

Such a country is indeed worth investing in.

He then thought of Lee's words, which he said could help Warner.

"How's Lee doing here?"

"He's very good, a lot of young people like him."

Vesak replied casually, and then he realized what Toby meant, and immediately said, "He has a lot of influence."

"He has a company, which should now be the most profitable film and television production company in China, that is, it produces movies and also produces TV series."

"Needless to say, you know his achievements, and he is known locally as the best commercial director in the country."

"But in fact, their TV series are even more powerful, Fenghua's TV series are said to sell well in Zhongdong, Xiya, and Nanmei, and Southeast Asia has become a dumping ground for their TV series."

"I've read some newspapers, and they have counted that before "Hurricane Rescue" and "The Hangover" came out, their company's most profitable project before was a TV series."

"He also has a chain of cinemas, and now there should be more than 40 cinemas, and most of the big cities in the country have their cinemas."

"Because of the advanced equipment and good viewing experience, many movies are screened in their cinemas."

"There is also the fact that they have the largest video website in the country, which is like a YouTube website, and they have bought the online broadcast rights of most excellent TV series, and it is still in the expansion period, and some people have predicted that their video website can be listed, with a market value of about 3 billion US dollars."

When Toby heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it so high?"

Compared with the Big Six Hollywood, three billion dollars is naturally not a big deal, but the market value of a video website in a developing country is three billion dollars, which is really a lot.

Vesak nodded, "Yes, a lot, that's hundreds of millions of users." ”

He continued: "In addition to that, they also have variety shows, which are also very popular, if you compare them to Warner."

"Fenghua doesn't have a TV station, but they have a theater chain, considering that there are fewer film and television production companies in Huaxia, I think Fenghua's power here is greater than that of Warner in Hollywood."

Hearing this, Toby nodded, "I see." ”

Now it seems that Li Shengyao did not lie to him, if the Chinese film market continues to develop, Hollywood film producers may really want to curry favor with Director Li in the future.

The market is king, and whoever has the market is the boss.

Why do you want to go to Hollywood to make movies, isn't this just to make money?

In the future, the Chinese market will surpass the island country and become the world's second largest film market, and blockbusters with tens of millions of US dollars in profits can appear.

At that time, the high-ranking Hollywood company was going to sit down and communicate calmly with the mainland theater chain.

When he thought of this, he was inexplicably a little frightened, if the Chinese market continues to develop, will it surpass the North American film market in the future?

But such a thought flashed through him, and he was a pragmatic person.

He knew there was no need to worry about such a problem, because it was as big as the country's economy.

It's not something he's a Hollywood executive can solve.

Instead of worrying about this, think about how to generate profits.

Since Fenghua has this qualification to become a partner of cooperation, then let's keep in close contact.

In this way, Warner will have more protection in the mainland in the future, and Warner's film schedule will be higher, and it will be able to make more money.

Thinking of this, he already had a decision in his heart, and he knew what he should do next in order to create the greatest benefit for Warner.
