"Boss, do you really plan to enter the film industry, or do you plan to package it and sell it again?" Masao Kameda came in and asked.
Although Feng Yu has made many big moves to integrate some resources, there are many such companies in the world that specialize in integrating resource advantages and then selling them to make a profit.
For example, three comprehensive companies buy them all and then split the business. The electronics categories are merged together, the trade categories are merged together, and the food categories are merged together. In this way, three very large-scale companies with great advantages in a single business can be formed. The non-performing assets of the three companies can be combined into another subsidiary and then file for bankruptcy.
In this way, high profits can be obtained by selling the three integrated companies. Companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan are very good at this.
And the company they integrated has never worried about not being able to sell, because they will specifically market to fixed customers. If this fixed customer really doesn't buy, then they will run their own business and use their own advantages to erode the other party's market and force the other party to buy it.
All of this is based on their having sufficient cash, rich network resources, etc., and right now, Fengyu Holdings Group has this condition.
After Feng Yu arranged for people to acquire MGM, although he claimed that he would shoot some big movies, none of them have been officially launched yet. Moreover, Feng Yu also ordered people to quickly reorganize MGM's business, some of which had nothing to do with movies. business, all sold.
Kameda Masao was not sure whether Feng Yu really planned to enter the film and television industry, or whether he was selling the company to create some gimmicks.
If you look at the scale of the theater chain alone, then this theater chain alone is worth a lot of money. There are also film and television production companies. As long as one or two movies can achieve high box office, MGM's reputation will rise again, and then MGM will be valuable.
Feng Yu saw the curiosity on Kameda Masao's face, turned around and saw Ralph's expectant eyes, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Kameda Masao guessed with some disbelief: "Boss, you are not really going to enter the film and television industry, are you? This industry has passed its golden age. It is not cost-effective for us to enter now and compete with those established companies. Ah. Although the Chinese market is slowly emerging, the culture here in the United States is very different from that in China. Movies that are popular in the United States may not be liked by China."
"Furthermore, the two places have different film classification systems. China has only one line, what can be released and what cannot be released. We should consider these."
There are many film classification systems in the United States, such as what children can watch, what teenagers can watch, what adults can watch, what time can be shown, what time can't be shown, etc.
As for China, there are only those that are allowed to be released and those that are not. Movies rated abroad must delete scenes in China, otherwise they will not be imported.
"Keda, Ralph, even if there is no Chinese market, I still think the film industry here in the United States is worth investing in. Movies will rise again in the future, and people will favor this kind of popcorn movies more. The prosperity of the cultural industry , also stems from the good development of the economy. Now that the economic situation is getting better and better, how can the cultural industry be worse?" Feng Yu asked rhetorically.
"Also, the industry has a golden period, but the industry also has ups and downs. If you study carefully, you will find that some traditional industries have ups and downs. They will not always be in the cold winter. Sooner or later, they will return to spring and come to Midsummer enters the fruitful autumn.”
"As for exploring the Chinese market, I have a good idea. This idea may allow Chinese movies to enter a period of prosperity earlier."
Kameda Masao and Ralph looked at each other, both of them looking confused. The boss has come up with another good idea. Will it definitely succeed? Boss, have you never made a movie before
"China and the United States are cooperating in filming, and more Chinese elements will be added to the film."
In tune
This is not a new idea. Many years ago, there were co-productions between the two countries, as well as co-productions between China and the United States. Is this a good idea
Just adding more Chinese elements is a relatively good gimmick, but whether it can succeed is uncertain.
"Boss, I understand that China and the United States are cooperating in filming. It is nothing more than attracting investors from China. But adding Chinese elements to the film is not okay, right? The cultures of the two countries are fundamentally different, and it is very popular in the United States. China may not like movies made by China. And movies that China likes may not be liked by Americans, right?"
Ralph believes that this investor who joins China and enters the Chinese market in the name of a co-production film can have an advantage over imported films. The simplest way is to get a higher share of the box office share.
But if you add Chinese elements, it becomes a Chinese movie. It’s not that Chinese movies are not good to watch. For example, the original Xiangjiang movie was still very popular in the United States. For example, Bruce Lee and the current Fang Lung are all good, or even counting them. Chow Ren-fat and Jet Li also have good box office appeal.
"You didn't understand what I meant. Do you remember The Return of the Mummy? It was taken from the myths and legends in Egypt and has achieved great success. So why can't this story be moved to China? China also has very mysterious ancient tombs, such as Mausoleum of Emperor Qin. China is also one of the four ancient civilizations, with a long history and mysterious veil."
"And those future science fiction movies, why can't they be placed in the context of China? Don't you think that China will become the world's top power in the future? Since it will definitely happen, then why is there no China in the future background? The United States dominates No one in the world would believe this kid.”
"So many movies can be shot in China. China has very beautiful scenery, many of which are unique in the world. For co-productions, there must be Chinese actors, or even let them be the leading actors."
"Or we can assemble some of the most representative actors in the world and shoot a representative movie. For example, all action actors and a movie full of tough guys!"
Kameda Masao looked at Feng Yu with a frown on his face: "Boss, these are all men's movies, and no one likes to watch them. And tough guy movies are no longer popular. People have had enough of those outdated and old themes."
Feng Yu shook his finger: "No, the subject matter never goes out of style. It mainly depends on how well the actors perform. Nostalgia, do you understand? Just like retro cars, there are always people who like them, and there are many people who like them. Nostalgic-style movies, It will become popular again. This is a story I wrote. If you ask someone to take it to Stallone, I think he will be interested."
Ralph looked at the name of the script, Suicide Squad
Isn't this name too depressing
