If there is any major event in the Imperial Capital recently, then it is none other than the upcoming IFTO member states meeting. It is not only very famous within the Empire, but also causing a lot of trouble internationally.
The country has been educating the public about the changes that IFTO can bring to life. For example, after the establishment of IFTO, there will be more types of goods in the society, and the prices will not be as high as they are now.
At the same time, for some small, medium and micro enterprises, their products are easier to sell through exports, and orders from IFTO member countries will bring their businesses to a new peak.
Similar propaganda can be seen in various places. There are always people discussing this matter in newspapers, magazines and on TV, and gradually it has become a matter of national discussion.
Dulin's TV station and some media closer to the official also held some activities, such as soliciting essays or participating in discussions, and then selected the most appropriate and suitable ones to give away expensive prizes, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
The purpose of all this is to enable IFTO to be established and operated smoothly and unimpeded, which is related to the first major international environment policy after Kubal came to power.
If it is not done well, the most embarrassing thing will definitely not be the empire, but him, Kubal.
On the night before the IFTO meeting, under the leadership of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the Ministry of Foreign Trade, representatives from all member states attending the IFTO meeting were invited to an informal gathering in the first banquet hall of the palace.
The standards of this party are quite high, and some non-invited dignitaries with slightly lower status are not allowed to enter. Only those who are invited and have reached the level of governor or above can participate in the party.
Not long after the party was held, Dulin, who was chatting with two leaders of a small country, saw Kinsale and some film and television stars who often appeared on the screen coming in from the entrance.
When he saw Kinsel, Kinsel also happened to see him. After all, Dulin was the only person with unique temperament and aura in the entire hall.
The two of them separated after making eye contact for a moment. It is not the first time for similar high-end entertainment occasions to find celebrities from society who can adjust the atmosphere. It has become a process for a long time.
For those celebrities in society, they are also happy to participate in such a banquet. In addition to being unable to refuse, if they can get in touch with someone, it will be a huge help to their lives and work.
Du Lin withdrew his gaze and continued chatting with the leaders of the two small countries around him. These leaders of small countries were actually very pitiful. They were not good at all. After all, they were also the supreme rulers of a country.
But to say that they can mix well, some small countries are not as big as Ambiluo State, and the total population of some small countries is even less than the total population of the current imperial capital.
He nodded from time to time or expressed his opinion. After chatting for about ten minutes, the three of them shook hands and separated.
At such a banquet, no one will chat with the same person all night. It is more like a large-scale "friendship interaction meeting" where you expand your personal connections at the banquet and look for possible benefits.
After Dulin walked around twice, he found Kinsel who was chatting with someone while holding a wine glass.
His arrival made Kinsel's chat partner stunned for a moment, and then he politely left.
Dulin's international reputation is no lower than that of Kubal. When people talk about the Shining Star Empire, the first thing that comes to mind is Mags, the "iron-blooded prime minister", which is what the outside world calls him.
The next thing that comes to mind is the "international friend" Du Lin, Xiao Gou who wields banknotes, orders, hammers, and various aids to bring them good news... no, he is a good old man.
Photographed by Du Lin's lethality, the ruler of the small country left without any nostalgia.
"I just met a rich guy and you ruined my chances." Kinsel complained jokingly.
She wore a bright red evening dress tonight. The slightly floor-length skirt perfectly highlighted her figure. Coupled with her increasingly sophisticated control over her expression, temperament, and emotions, she was definitely the best at the party. A compelling presence.
Du Lin shrugged, "If you think he is a good choice, I can call him over and let you continue chatting, but I am worried that you will not be able to defeat the dozen wives he did not come with."
"In the Eastern Continent, it has become routine for women to join the army. Several of his wives are retired soldiers, and the most powerful among them has become a colonel."
After saying this, Du Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was looking forward to seeing Kinsel and other women making fools of themselves, although this was unlikely.
After passing the cautious stage, Kinsel successfully demonstrated the spirit and temperament of the Kosma family, which is confidence and strength.
It is not easy for a strong woman who has achieved financial freedom and is very popular to find a partner who has enough status and is compatible with her.
In this society that is still in the transition between civilization and barbarism, a higher social status represents greater strength and power. Such people are often very strong and not easy to compromise.
Two strong people will only get bruised when they get together, so the person who is most suitable for Kinsel may be just an ordinary person.
There is a hint of humility in the eagerness, and a hint of respect hidden in the admiration. Only such people are suitable to live with Kinsel, although some not-so-good things may happen in the end.
The two talked for a while. Kinsel was not invited to the banquet this time, but came to keep an eye on him as the boss of some young stars.
She has her own agency, and has used her appeal in society to select many young people with great potential. Some of these people have already become popular and were invited to attend this banquet.
Kinsel is worried about these young people. On the one hand, he is afraid that they will suffer a disadvantage here. On the other hand, he is afraid that they will be wrongly optimistic and fail to see the society clearly and make some wrong decisions.
Because she has the same surname as Du Lin, and she has admitted to the media that she and Du Lin are siblings, the guards outside the door did not stop her.
It is understandable that Du Lin is worried about Kinsel. After all, every star who signs a contract has invested a lot of effort and money. If he completely disappears because he becomes someone's mistress or lover, the investment will be considered wasted. Soup.
Speaking of this, Kinsel suddenly slapped her forehead, "I almost forgot, people from the six major production companies have been contacting you, have you been contacted?" Her eyes became confused, "You are Didn't he do something bad? I think their manager is almost crying."
The six major production companies have been looking for Du Lin's whereabouts, but no matter how powerful they are, they can control the situation in the film and television industry.
Du Lin's trace and phone number could not be found, so he could only stay with Kinsel every day. Regardless of his face, he asked to see Kinsel every day to contact Du Lin. Kinsel was also annoyed by them.
However, considering the status of the six major production companies in the industry, they have always been perfunctory.
She was very curious about what Du Lin had done that made the six major production companies want to turn over the entire empire to find Du Lin.
Du Lin smiled and changed the topic.
The six major production companies want to reduce Doolin's share of the cable TV on-demand fees, and plan to share it in the same way as theater chains, giving up the meager profits of the films after the release in exchange for more profits during the release period. divided into.
This commercial requirement is understandable. The purpose of commercial operations is to seek more benefits, and their demands are reasonable and legal.
But they used the wrong method, so Dulin also played a public versus public game with them, and now the six major production companies are facing huge losses.
As long as someone requests a movie that can be found in the library, they will have to face various service fees ranging from 50 to 60 cents. In addition to the movie being profitable during the release period, the movie after the release is enough to make money. They had to take off their pants as compensation.
At Du Lin's request, some films that had already been released were offered on-demand at a discount. Movies that originally cost 49 cents are now subsidized by cable TV for 40 cents, and can be viewed on demand for only 9 cents.
This trivial fee is not considered an expense at all for the middle class. At the same time, the busy work of the middle class will make them miss a lot of movies, and they may not want to watch them when they have time.
It just so happened that the discounted on-demand event gave them the motivation to continue watching the movie. Anyway, it was almost free of charge.
More than 150,000 on-demand broadcasts per week require the six major productions to pay at least 80,000 to 100,000 yuan in service fees and line usage fees, which is a monthly loss of 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
More than five months have passed now, and their losses have reached close to three million, which is still a pure loss.
If the company was smaller, it would have folded long ago when faced with such huge losses. Fortunately, the six major production companies were strong enough to withstand it and wanted to talk to Du Lin about finding a solution.
Initially, some of them proposed canceling the cooperation with cable TV, but in the end this plan fell through.
On-demand broadcasting on cable TV has great advantages. On-demand broadcasting for the middle class has become one of the most important sources of income. It already accounts for more than 40% of the income of the six major production companies, and it is still increasing. Here Specifically refers to films during the release period.
Since the partnership cannot be terminated and they are subject to heavy expenses, the only way the public relations teams of the six major companies can come up with is to contact Dulin as soon as possible, admit their mistakes, and re-sign the sharing contract.
It's not that Du Lin was avoiding them, it was just that he was really busy during this period.
After this period of busy work is over, we can discuss the new contract issue.
