When Li Zetian got up the next morning, he felt refreshed and very comfortable. He had the ultimate enjoyment last night. He looked at Yu Jingqiu who was sleeping, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Star Wars" has become a phenomenal film, so influential that almost every young man in America has heard of it! From the second month of its release, "Star Wars" began to be released overseas, and then a Star Wars wind quickly blew up!
At this time, the Star Wars Film Company began to get busy, and many companies took the initiative to seek cooperation, including toys, clothing, stationery and other brand authorizations. Among them, Sunbird Company obtained the exclusive authorization of the "Star Wars" game.
The world's earliest film to release video tapes, generally speaking, is the Korean film "Youth Teacher", which was released in 1972 and released in 1976. It was in this year that Japan's Victory Jvc Company developed the vhs format of home video tapes and developed the first generation of vhs tape recorders, which quickly swept the western world. There is a program on TV that you really want to watch, but you happen to have to go out, or the program is too late, TV fans can record it first and watch it after finding time. The rewind feature is even more astounding—especially favorite passages, which can be watched over and over again.
It can be seen that in 1976, the film and video tape market had just begun to develop, which undoubtedly gave Li Zetian the opportunity to get involved. With "Star Wars" as a stepping stone, he could quickly open up the market!
It is reported that by the 1990s, 95% of American households had VCRs, and consumers spent more on buying and renting movie cassettes than going to the cinema. VCRs and videotape revenues are very substantial.
However, patents and technologies have been divided up by other companies, and the videotape format competition is very fierce, there has been a format competition for Sony's βmax, jvc's vhs and Philips' vdeo2000, and finally because vhs provides longer recording time and The relatively simple result eventually won out as the standard format for video recorders.
Li Zetian didn't plan to get involved, and let them fight to the death, he just took a trick, mastered the video tape distribution rights, and became a video rental provider. In the future, in the Internet age, he changed his job to become an online online video rental provider - flx.
When signing licensing contracts with other film companies, Li Zetian planned to kill them on the contract, writing all movie distribution rights except movie theaters, hehe... They may not have imagined the existence of the Internet!
Li Zetian smiled secretly.
Now that we know that JVC's vhs format will become the standard for video recorders, if we help JVC at this time, we will naturally make the most profit.
After breakfast, Li Zetian called Dongfang Yuqin to him.
Dongfang Yuqin's dress is very professional and feminine. The combination of a black hip skirt and a white shirt not only looks decent, but also outlines a woman's body curve, showing a woman's soft but stubborn side.
"I'll give you a task to help me register an overseas offshore company called flx. The main direction of the company's operations is to provide video tape buying and leasing services. First, we must build our own video tape production factory; second, we must establish a video tape rental store. The United States has the largest population. The top ten cities in China are naturally the first choice; the third is to develop a set of video tape management software, through the systematic management of the computer, to count the video tapes in storage at any time, including the sales quantity and rental times of each video tape, time, and the user's gender, age, etc. and other various information, so that the company can quickly formulate and adjust policies based on this information. For example, a video tape is not popular in New York, but it is popular in Los Angeles, which can reduce the supply of the video tape in New York, increase the supply in Los Angeles, and save costs for the company At the same time, we can also obtain information about users’ preferences for various types of movies, which can be resold to film companies, so that they can make movies according to market demand and reduce risks…
The video tape format we choose to produce is vhs from Japanese jvc company. If nothing I expected, vhs will eventually become the standard format for video recorders because it can provide longer recording time and relatively simple results. In 1975, Sony introduced betamax home video cassettes and became a major competitor to vhs. As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as the snow, talk to the JVC company, and strive to get the technology authorization! We are also promoting the vhs format, and the other party will definitely welcome it!
The other is the copyright of film and television. Due to the economic recession in the United States, the film market has been sluggish, and many film companies have fallen into financial crisis. It is a good time for us to take advantage of it. Um? In this regard, it is up to me to personally go out..."
Li Zetian spoke eloquently for more than 20 minutes, Dongfang Yuqin half-opened her small mouth, her face full of surprise, and her heart was full of admiration for Li Zetian.
"Dongfang Yuqin???" Li Zetian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her.
"Ah?!!" Dongfang Yuqin came back to her senses at this time, looked at Li Zetian, and asked, "mr·l, I know what you ordered. Do you have any other orders?"
"Well... that's all for now, I'll let you know when I think of it!"
"Okay, mr·l, then I'll go to work!"
"Um."
Li Zetian looked at the back of Dongfang Yuqin, who had a bumpy figure, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "Young gentleman, gentle and gentle like jade, only eight buckets tall, learning to be rich, and actually shocking Dongfang Yuqin, who doesn't like men, shows that his own The charm is too great, in the future, I have to restrain one or two... "
I consumed hundreds of millions of tadpoles last night, and I ate a hearty breakfast in the morning to replenish my strength.
Drink some milk if there is no nutrition express.
After breakfast, Li Zetian returned to the bedroom and glanced at Yu Jingqiu, who was still sleeping. Li Zetian will not disturb her, let her continue to sleep, sleep until she wakes up naturally, and her skin will be better. He instructed the maids to prepare breakfast for Yu Jingqiu at any time, and then went for a morning run by himself, and then practiced kung fu.
Practising is about perseverance!
Li Zetian's body is very good now. Although he doesn't have amazing eight-pack abs, he also has a sexy mermaid line.
When he finished kung fu, Yu Jingqiu also got up. After breakfast, she came to the balcony to bask in the sun and breathed in the fresh air. From time to time, she took a sip of the milk coffee on the table, and then opened the books she brought with her. , read it.
Life was simple, peaceful and carefree.
And all the worries, including the trouble of making money, Li Zetian will fight for her.
"Hello, little Mr. Alan Ryder, I'm chronos l. When are you free, I want to meet with you and discuss something!" After taking a bath in the pool, Li Zetian came to the lobby to call Alan Ryder Jr., CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.
"Hello, mr·l, I can meet you anytime!"
"Then can you come to my house at noon? We can discuss things and have lunch together."
"Ok, no problem."
"Well, then we'll see you at noon!"
After Li Zetian hung up the phone, he instructed the servants that there would be guests at noon and that the lunch would be prepared more abundantly.
The reason why Li Zetian called 20th Century Fox for the first time was not only because of his familiarity, but also because 20th Century Fox had been losing money for many years and was facing a huge financial crisis, despite the success of "Star Wars" this time. , but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it can't solve the problem immediately.
As one of the Hollywood movie giants, 20th Century Fox has a wealth of film sources and a lot of classic works. Obtaining its movie license can lay the foundation for the success of flx!
In fact, in a previous life, Andre Bray, the owner of a company called "Magnetic Video Magcvdeo", took advantage of the situation and obtained the video tape distribution rights of 50 films under Twentieth Century Fox. "The Sound of Music," "General Patton," and "Army Field Hospital," three Hollywood classics, became the first U.S. blockbusters to be released on video, priced between $50 and $70.
At this time, since the videotape market has not yet developed, Hollywood film companies are not very interested in videotapes, and it is easier to obtain authorization. This is a very rare opportunity!
At noon, little Alan Ryder arrived as scheduled.
After the two sides greeted, Li Zetian ordered the servants to prepare lunch.
"mr l, first of all congratulations, "Star Wars" is a hot sale, you have become the biggest winner!!!" Little Alan Ryder laughed.
"Didn't 20th Century Fox also make a lot of money?" Li Zetian laughed.
"Alas, it's a pity that 20th Century Fox didn't make additional investment at that time... mr·l, I have to say, your vision and courage are really admirable!"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just luck. By the way, Mr. Alan Ryder Jr., I set up a film rental company. I came to you this time to talk about the licensing and distribution of films. ."
"What is a movie rental company?"
"It's a videotape rental or something..."
Little Alan Ryder nodded in understanding.
Li Zetian continued: "If 20th Century Fox can authorize me the distribution rights of films other than cinemas, then 20th Century Fox can enjoy a 10% share of income. Obviously, this is undoubtedly a new increase in 20th Century Fox's financial revenue. Point! Mr. Alan Ryder, Jr., this is an extra income that benefits both of us, so why not do it?"
Little Alan Ryder fell into deep thought, and replied after a while: "I agree with this cooperation, but it is divided... I want to go back and discuss it with everyone."
"No problem, you can notify me at any time after the discussion is over. Oh, the dishes are all ready, let's chat while we eat."
"Ok, thank you so much for lunch!"
"you are welcome."
…
Little Alan Ryder put a small cut of steak into his mouth and asked, "Mr.l, how big is your movie rental company?"
"Scale? You know, videotape is just emerging, and it's not that big now. But if I don't do it, if I do, I will definitely spend a lot of money to make it the largest video rental company in the United States! At the very least, thousands of rental stores must be established..." Li Zetian said with a smile.
"Mmmmmm, yes... With your financial resources, you can definitely do it!" Little Alan Ryder said, nodding, he couldn't help being a little excited. As long as this movie rental company was huge, 20th Century Fox would be able to do it. Get huge profits from it.
At this moment, little Alan Ryder's lunch is a little absent-minded, and now he can't wait to put his wings on and fly to the company, and then hold a meeting to discuss this matter.
Li Zetian secretly observed the words and observations, knowing that little Alan Ryder was already tempted, and his side obviously had the chance to win.
As soon as the lunch was over, little Alan Ryder said goodbye to Li Zetian in a hurry.
Li Zetian smiled slightly and watched the other party leave.
