As a literati, Wang Hailin did not say that he would stand up and bow to Jing Gao to express his gratitude. This was not enough. If he did this, he would be suspected of forcing the wife to have a baby. He took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Jing, I'm going to take the liberty to speak from my heart. Of course, as a business villain, you may have noticed this."
"You said it." Jing Gao immediately took Teacher Wang's pulse. This person is really paying attention to the development of the film and television industry. He only needs to work in this direction, such as improving the status of screenwriters. He went to Hollywood for inspection last June, and he now has a medium-sized Hollywood film company: Cactus Film Company.
In just the first half of last year and the three quarters of this year, professional managers have been deceived and lost US$120 million.
He is not the one who suffers the consequences. He fires professional managers and hires lawyers to prosecute. This certainly has no big effect. Because the lawyer's fees plus time will be higher than his loss. However, paying these tuition fees also gave him and his executives a deeper understanding of Hollywood's various systems.
Under the Hollywood production system, the status of screenwriters is indeed much higher than that of domestic screenwriters. Especially those adapted from famous works, the status of screenwriters is even more surprising. For example, projects such as Cold Mountain.
Just like what Wang Hailin said just now: There are always various factors involved in successful movies. But a failed movie is definitely one of them if the script is not good.
If he makes up for the shortcomings of the screenwriter, he may not succeed, but the probability of failure will be slightly smaller.
Wang Hailin was silent for a while and said seriously: "Mr. Jing, in fact, you must lose money when engaging in art. After staying in this industry for a long time, there must be only a few bosses who really make money from movies. The return on investment is very low.
Therefore, from your business perspective, the current production and sales model of Phoenix Films may need to change. Nowadays, none of the major Hollywood movie companies make money by relying on the box office. Large companies make profits by expanding peripheral income or using other means.
The Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings series, which are huge box office hits around the world, have huge losses in the accounting accounts made by large companies. They pay other investors very little as a result. The monopoly of major Hollywood companies relies on the monopoly of distribution and cinema channels. "
As he said half-jokingly just now, he called on the coal boss to come back. Now that he has a boss like Mr. Jing, he still wants to fulfill his obligation and remind him: the film industry is all about spending money, and it is difficult to make money.
The essence of this business is to earn fame and other profits through movies. Or, you can occupy the distribution field and theaters, which are bound to make money. Of course, there are also risks in business.
There is a joke on the Internet: Crossing the river by feeling the eagle sauce. This is the current situation in the entertainment industry. If you compare it with Hollywood, many things are very clear!
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, "Mr. Wang, thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention to it." After saying this, he said hello to Feng Wan and told her to write it down and arrange for internal think tanks and senior executives to discuss the matter.
Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, I don't know if there are any funds or awards in the industry to support screenwriters. If not, I plan to set up a private fund to support young screenwriters."
Wang Hailin couldn't help but beam with joy. He couldn't control it no matter how hard he tried, and said mockingly: "Mr. Jing, I made you laugh. Now in the industry, everyone says they want to be a screenwriter. But there are very few real professional screenwriters. , the three major universities only recruit a small number of screenwriters every year. There are never too many funds to support screenwriters."
Jing Gao nodded, sat for a moment and pondered, and said: "In this way, I will privately sponsor 50 million every year, and your Screenwriters Association will evaluate 10 people and support outstanding young screenwriters. I will ask Fang Shaofan to contact you about this matter to implement it in detail. That's right. The name is still attached to Phoenix Films."
"Okay, Mr. Jing."
…
…
The afternoon was leisurely and pleasant, and I could hear the chirping of birds outside the waterside pavilion. After sending Wang Hailin away, Jing Gao asked Feng Wan to inform Gong Yu, the person in charge of iQiyi, if he had time to come over to attend the meeting, and with Fang Shaofan and Fang Shaofan. He Qingsha took a short break and sat in the banquet hall on the 10th floor of the main building of the Blue Lake Club to talk about the information she had just communicated with Wang Hailin.
Jing Gao leaned comfortably on the sofa, yawned slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm a little sleepy because I didn't have a lunch break at noon. Shaofan, everyone on the Internet is criticizing Zhang Jiazhen, but in fact, the information on the Internet can only make his reputation bad. I can't get up." Decisive role. We met with Teacher Wang Hailin today to talk about the entertainment industry. In fact, we want to clean up Hong Kong capital and him. What are your thoughts now? "
He Qingsha held the tea cup in both hands, absorbing the information of the two hours of in-depth conversation. In fact, during the conversation with Wang Hailin, there was no specific mention of how to eliminate the influence of Hong Kong capital in the entertainment industry.
Even Wang Hailin doesn't think Hong Kong capital needs to be listed separately. Instead, capital is classified directly based on industry characteristics.
As for Zhang Jiazhen, in the past, such a big shot in the industry had money behind him, and this kind of online public opinion had no effect on him. But who let Mr. Jing hold the meager amount now? Even if Zhang Jiazhen is rich, he can't control the popularity. He will be eaten up and criticized by netizens!
This is Mr. Jing’s power!
From now on, who in the entertainment industry would not dare to offend Mr. Jing? Proper media tycoon treatment!
Fang Shaofan hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Jing, we are going to expose the current situation of Hong Kong capital in the entertainment industry using financing, equity, celebrity support and other means to cut off shareholders. I'm afraid we will offend many people!"
Jing Gao sneered and said: "Then why don't these people think about the consequences of offending me? I want to see who dares to trouble me! You go and report Zhang Jiazhen for manipulating the stock market! Spend money to buy the materials, I believe it There will be many, and many people are willing to provide. Before reporting, post a public statement on WeChat.”
Mr. Jing Jing had already made up his mind, and Fang Shaofan followed decisively. He has such a personality, it is extremely difficult for him to make a decision, and his decision may not be right. But he would not hesitate to implement Mr. Jing's decision and said: "Okay, Mr. Jing, I will do it now."
Jing Gao nodded and said with a smile: "Call your team to work here at the Blue Lake Club. It's almost time for dinner, and I have to take care of your meal."
Fang Shaofan felt warm in his heart, got up and left the banquet hall to do something.
Jing Gao closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the sofa, lost in thought. He was thinking about some of the information he just talked to Wang Hailin.
The early autumn evening sun fell on his thin and ordinary face. The exquisite and bright beauty He Qingsha was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite. She didn't dare to disturb him for a while, and just looked at him like this. I have to say that the man in deep thought is really charming!
She remembered Jing Gao's reply to Fang Shaofan just now. Jing Gao was undoubtedly going to upset the entertainment industry. But who dares to trouble him? When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses were laid out, bleeding and floating in the oars. How similar it is to this time!
Zhang Jiazhen probably never imagined that just because he posted a photo of Jing Gao and An Xiaoqian without permission, Jing Gao was furious and wanted to send him in even if he turned the entertainment industry upside down.
The gentle and quiet 26-year-old beautiful young woman Feng Wan came in from outside the banquet hall on high heels to call back Jing Gao. She saw the stunner He Qingsha staring at Jing Gao on the sofa, like a bird thinking about how to steal. Yu's cat couldn't help but snorted, "Humph."
This made He Qingsha extremely annoyed, but she didn't dare to show it and smiled in return.
Jing Gao was also disturbed from his meditation by the cold snort and opened his eyes. Feng Wan came forward to report: "Brother Jing, I have called Gong Yu, and he replied that he would come right away." After saying that, he sat next to Jing Gao and asked curiously: "Brother Jing, what are you doing this afternoon? We are talking about Phoenix Film and Television, why did you call the person in charge of iQiyi here?"
Idakadao: "Of course we have to prepare for a rainy day. Do you think the conclusion that the film and television industry does not make money is scary?"
Feng Wan nodded, "Well, I felt at that time that Phoenix Group's investment in the entertainment industry instantly became meaningless."
Jing Gao couldn't help laughing and said to the examiner: "Xiao He, what do you think?"
