The lively dinner lasted for more than two hours. As the host, Jinshu's senior management stayed until the end to send away the last group of guests who needed to appear in person, leaving a group of Jinshu core members gathered at a table in the corner of the banquet hall. , the waiter has removed the cups and plates and replaced them with tea.
It's not a casual conversation, it's still a very formal topic.
Wu Shanlin started first: "Lao Han and I talked in the afternoon. The recent batch of film and television peripherals have been selling well. China Film hopes to release another batch of copyrights, including imported films and domestic classics from the mainland. We also plan to Buy some projects from Hong Kong that can pass the review, and then promote them according to our distribution model."
Sitting at the same table, in addition to the core members of the Jinshu Department, there are still leaders such as Hairun, Guangguang, Huayi, and Ren Jingxi from Huanzhu Film and Television.
When everyone heard what Wu Shanlin said, their expressions were somewhat strange.
What is this called, picking peaches
You know, although it is affiliated to various theaters under different theater chains, this sales chain actually exists independently. Moreover, even if it still cooperates with China Film, Jinshu has provided most of the funds, and Jinshu holds 90% of the company's registered name as 'China Film Jinshu Audio and Video Chain Company', and China Film is just a symbol. Take 10% randomly.
Of course, it is undeniable that without the coordination resources of China Film Group, Jinshu would not have been able to gain access to more than 100 theaters across the country. It could only be rolled out in more than 30 theaters at home.
Thinking this way, everyone's mood will inevitably become more complicated.
It's really incomparable to my own.
Ren Jingxi and Mr. Li from Rong Xinda next to him were talking in a low voice about a TV project. After listening to what Wu Shanlin said, he thought about it and said: "Since China Film is planning to make big moves, it will not just plan to release a batch of more movies. Bar?"
Wu Shanlin said: "I just talked about my idea. What Lao Han meant was that China Film could increase capital in the audio-visual chain and expand China Film's shareholding. In addition, it would bring in more theaters. Also, our planning team , everyone knows that it is excellent, and China Film Group also hopes to strengthen cooperation."
For a moment, everyone didn’t know what to say.
Hard to say.
Moreover, even if they are all on their own, some things are better left unsaid, so they can only remain silent.
Ren Jingxi said again: "Actually, this is also a good thing. Compared with the United States, even if the situation has been slightly opened up, our domestic genuine audio and video market is still small and pitiful, and Jinshu alone will definitely not be able to sustain it. To create a long-term national market, giants like China Film must participate. However, China Film can do this, and so can we."
What Jinshu lacks most in the film and television field right now is copyright!
After all, the background is too shallow.
Everyone understood what Ren Jingxi said, but they could only look at Ren Jingxi for the specific instructions.
Ren Jingxi said: "We are short of movie copyrights, but in recent years, we have accumulated a lot of high-quality TV drama copyrights. This can be taken out first."
As soon as Ren Jingxi opened his mouth, everyone reacted.
However, Mr. Wang of Guangwang quickly said: ""Dragon" is indeed very impressive in the audio-visual channels in the United States. However, here, the price of the disc of the genuine movie is already unaffordable for most of the public, let alone For a TV series that can easily have dozens of episodes, what is the appropriate price?"
Ren Jingxi smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, you have overlooked one point. In the United States, the Blockbuster channel where "Dragon Movie" is located is mainly a chain rental platform, and most of the revenue comes from leasing."
This time, everyone was stunned again.
Mr. Li, the female founder of Rongxinda, who was sitting next to Ren Jingxi, said: "Jingxi, what do you mean, we can also take care of the leasing business?"
"It's not just about both," Ren Jingxi said: "Since the United States has Blockbuster, why can't we have one? Moreover, I think the leasing market in China should be larger than direct sales."
Huayi's only brother Wang Da Dao attended today: "I know this. There are many small audio and video rental shops in some streets and alleys, and the business is also very good."
Mr. Liu from Hairun shook his head: "That's the problem. The content of pirated channels is too rich, and there are no review restrictions at all. As you all know, there are all types of subjects. If we open a genuine chain, first of all, this will not be the same at all. There is no comparison, not to mention, in terms of price, the genuine version has no advantage.”
Zheng Yi, President of Jinshu Films, who is in charge of Jinshu film business: "It's actually very simple, Lao Liu, it's still the same as the current operating model of the audio and video chain. For the time being, we only operate in core cities with strong consumption power. In general cities, The towns and villages just gave up. Moreover, if we can cooperate with China Film, we should have a lot of content resources."
Mr. Xingmei Qin, who had been silent just now, once again asked a sharp question: "What about the control issue? If China Film Group Corporation is allowed to operate it..."
Mr. Qin said and shook his head.
No one can praise the efficiency of state-owned enterprises.
Wu Shanlin spoke again: "I will fight for this," and looked at Ren Jingxi again: "Jingxi, you haven't finished what you just said, right?"
Ren Jingxi nodded and continued: "Actually, TV drama resources happen to be our advantage, the advantage of genuine ones, because although pirated resources are abundant, the kind of street shops that Mr. Wang just mentioned are often small in scale. , definitely cannot support too much TV content, this is one of them. And, still talking about content, I mean, since Jinshu can be the agent to distribute the movies we produce, Jinshu can also be the agent to distribute the films of other companies. .”
Zheng Yi said: "You mean, we also import movies from Hong Kong?"
Jinshu is actually already doing this, and according to the current policy, this is not considered an introduction, but just a cooperation.
Ren Jingxi smiled and said: "It's a blind spot in thinking. We have no power overseas. In Hong Kong, there are not many excellent projects that can pass the review. But in the mainland, in addition to China Film, there are also Changying, Emei, Xiaoxiang, and Shanghai. art studios, these are our potential partners."
After everyone listened to Ren Jingxi's words, they felt enlightened again.
really.
The major established domestic studios used to be stronger than the last, so they have accumulated a large amount of high-quality content that is not outdated even today.
Furthermore, due to the decline of the domestic film industry and the current wave of restructuring, these large state-owned studios that were able to maintain their strength in the past are now having a hard time. As long as the conditions offered by Jinshu are suitable, who is to say that the state-owned studios will Can the factory not cooperate with private enterprises
Everyone pondered for a while, and Xingmei's Mr. Qin suddenly tapped the table and said eagerly: "As soon as Jing Xi said it, I thought of "Shaolin Temple". Whose work is this? We must win it."
Zheng Yi said: ""Shaolin Temple" was invested by Hong Kong's Zhongyuan Film Company. I was in contact with Hong Kong recently and happened to notice this film. However, we still need to check the mainland copyright matter. Perhaps, it is very likely that it is still there. Over there at China Film Group Corporation."
Everyone was disappointed again.
"Shaolin Temple", the memory of a generation, can definitely become a good brand if it can be captured and promoted to peripheral channels.
In any case, when Ren Jingxi said this, everyone's thinking became clearer. Moreover, I originally thought that there would be nothing to do without these subsidiaries of my own, but if the sales and rental chain of TV series as key contents can be launched, everyone will definitely have another lucrative income channel, so we are looking forward to it even more.
Wu Shanlin also said on the spot that he would make plans when he returns home and discuss it in detail with China Film Group next Monday.
However, if we want to do this, the first issue is money.
When planning a separate chain system, we will definitely not be affiliated with it this time, but will have to open a store independently, add storefronts, staff, content procurement, management systems, etc. In short, if a store does not have millions of dollars of expenses, I am afraid it will not be able to win.
Then we talked about the four key projects that Jinshu is planning, as well as the movies that each company is looking for.
Finally, the investment matters have basically been finalized.
China Film will still be fully involved. However, except for "My Motherland and Me", China Film will account for 50% of the investment and be responsible for distribution. For the other three, China Film will only be responsible for 15% of the investment, while Jinshu is responsible for At the time of issuance, 30% of the investment will be undertaken, and the rest will be distributed to each company, or external partners will be contacted.
Ren Jingxi has already finalized his intention. The target is the "Detective Chinatown". Huanzhu Film and Television plans to invest 20%.
According to the preliminary budget estimate of 80 million, it is 16 million.
However, because the script is still in the writing stage, the final budget is still uncertain. Ren Jingxi felt that even if the film was shot abroad, it might not cost 80 million. After all, there are no special effects, and the plan is to focus on mainland actors. We don't plan to invite any big international names, so 60 million might be enough.
Of course, if there are necessary expenses, there will be no savings here.
After chatting like this until about 11 o'clock, Ren Jingxi called his father, who had been patiently waiting here, to go home with him.
The next day is January 9th.
Sunday.
After receiving another call from Wu Shanlin in the morning, Ren Jingxi went to Jinshu headquarters again to talk in detail about his thoughts last night.
Still a pity.
At present, private film distribution companies are still subject to strict restrictions. Huanzhu Film and Television can only participate indirectly to share some of the soup.
It took more than an hour to talk in detail with Wu Shanlin and other Jinshu executives. Now that he was here at Jinshu, Ren Jingxi asked about the production progress of "The Lost Martial Arts". It happened that the director of the project Zhou Ri also came to the company, so he directly approached Director Xu, hoping that he would serve as a consultant for his martial arts reality show, a real consultant. The other party's response was also very positive, and he specially arranged a lunch and talked about many details. .
After such a busy day, I received a call in the evening, greeted my family, and rushed to Maoer Hutong. The call came from Mo Wuling, saying that Chen Qing had come to the capital and wanted to have dinner together in the evening.
I don’t want to come, but if I reject Miss Chen, I will definitely be put in the shoes.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot and greeting Mo Wuling who came to greet him, the two girls walked all the way to the inner house.
Chen Qing was talking to someone in the study next to the main room. After a brief exchange of greetings, Ren Jingxi and Mo Wuling couldn't help but come to the living room on the other side of the main room. There was a little girl named Nuanshu. , nickname is Buer, and her English name is Olivia Chen Westeros.
Sweet little guy.
Especially the two girls who are gradually turning into old girls.
Especially this is a certain man's child.
Especially the little girl has a pair of beautiful dark green eyes.
So rare.
Chen Qing on the other side could feel the eagerness of the two old girls from a distance, so she directly raised her voice to remind: "No kissing, no hugging, and no touching."
This is what the doctor reminded me.
Children have poor resistance, and adults' seemingly close actions may cause accidents.
After hearing Chen Qing's reminder, the two girls could only look at each other.
Stingy.
However, he still squatted beside the crib with great interest, using the rattle next to him to tease the little one who was exploring the world around him with his big eyes open, and also discussed why the girl's eyes were green. Of course she's very beautiful, but if I remember correctly, someone has blue eyes, Chen Qing... Well, I'm not sure, anyway, maybe it's a mutation.
Of course it's beautiful.
Chen Qing reminded the two women, then withdrew her gaze, looked at Shen Lin in front of her again, and said: "This is a rare opportunity. You can be responsible for an asset management company alone. The team size is about 30 people, responsible for sorting out South Asia." There are a group of light industrial enterprises in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and other countries, mainly in the fields of clothing, shoes, leather, textiles and other types. The asset list of this group is about US$700 million."
After hearing what Chen Qing said, Shen Lin paused and hesitated: "Mr. Chen, you mean Indonesia?"
"Yes," Chen Qing nodded, and of course he understood why she hesitated, and said: "The asset management company is headquartered in Singapore, but your task is to integrate this asset, cash out what should be cashed out, revitalize what should be revitalized, and expand. We need to expand as much as possible. We really need to be on the front line frequently. Therefore, in addition to the 30-person team, there will be an additional four-person bodyguard team here, our own security company."
At this point, Chen Qing curled up her lips and added: "As a team of four, you can choose between those who have killed people or those who have never killed anyone."
Shen Lin shrank subconsciously, then reacted, hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "I want to kill someone."
"Can."
Shen Lin asked: "Mr. Chen, can you bring a gun?"
"It depends on the situation," Chen Qing said: "Most countries over there ban guns by law, but it's easy to get guns because it's chaotic."
Shen Lin's eyes flickered again.
Chen Qing said: "You can directly get the management rights of an asset of 700 million U.S. dollars, and you have considerable authority. You know, on the one hand, it is your personal qualifications, a doctorate in political economics. On the other hand, you should also understand . In short, this is your only chance, and it is also a trial. The contract is for three years. You will hand in the paper after three years. If you do well, you can go one step further and manage 7 billion or even more. If you do not do well, huh, You are the type of temperament that the boss likes very much, so you can continue to be a flower vase."
Shen Lin thought about it for a moment again, and then brought up the question again: "Sister Chen, the one I just chose, I mean, the one who has killed people, can... can I continue?"
"Of course," Chen Qing didn't hesitate at all, and said with a smile: "I just said that it is very chaotic over there, there are warlords, gangs, and anti-government forces in some areas, so even if it is managed by you Within the scope of the assets, some factories have thorns, and you can leave them to deal with them. Even if something happens, just let them run away, and they will not be implicated in you. You have to believe that you are a Westerosian now, and you are of the same level. High Westerosian, of course we are capable of protecting our own people."
Shen Lin nodded: "Then I will do it."
"Smart choice," Chen Qing said, handing a thick pile of information to Shen Lin: "Since you agreed, these are what you want to see, and then, you will fly to the United States in a few days. What follows? It’s no longer under my control.”
Shen Lin was surprised again, holding the pile of information he just received, still a little at a loss.
Although, the girl in front of me is really difficult to get along with, but it is no longer her control. What will happen next
Chen Qing smiled and walked over: "Do you like working under me?"
Shen Lin froze for a moment, nodding or shaking his head.
Chen Qing did not embarrass her or explain. She waved her hand: "That's it."
Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, said goodbye politely, and left the study room holding a stack of information.
After Shen Lin left, Chen Qing picked up a folder from the coffee table next to him and opened it. There was some personnel information on it.
I have to talk to a few more people tomorrow about similar things.
Regarding the assets acquired by the Westeros system in Asia through stock swaps in the past year, her boss recently asked her to recommend some people to build a group of asset management teams.
Originally, Shen Lin planned to stay with him for his own use.
However, since it was his boss's explanation and he took this matter very seriously, Chen Qing would certainly not hide anything.
As for the recommended people, they will no longer be responsible to her, and Chen Qing has no grudges. After all, after having a little girl whom she still dislikes until now, they are still a family after all. Chen Qing is now considering the problem from the perspective of the Westeros system.
Her problem is that in the past, her control was too lenient.
My boss obviously doesn't mind having strong women around him. The problem is, Chen Qing's excessive control has caused a serious bug. If adjustments are not made and continue, China does not need to spend too much time on it. Just stare at her and you will be able to describe all aspects of the Westeros system in China.
This is not good.
Therefore, after her boss came over last time and talked to her quietly, Chen Qing took the initiative to make adjustments.
For example, in the future, she plans to have as little contact with overseas capital companies with Westeros background as possible and let the relevant teams develop on their own. Even if this will lead to each layout going its own way and not being able to better integrate and utilize resources, in the long run, doing so is wise.
Chen Qing even planned to create the illusion that she was gradually falling out of favor, or that her boss had taken back her power, and voluntarily gave up her attention to some industries to make herself less conspicuous as much as possible.
This is not easy for her character.
However, just think about your child's future, there is nothing you can do about it. Unless, in the future, it will go further and become entangled and deep-rooted over time, affecting the whole body, or even some, then there will be no need to have so many worries.
Not now anyway.
