Chapter 338 Preparing to go online
China Film Group is the only company in mainland China that has the right to import films and the largest production film company in China. If Wanbang's Time Film and Television wants to enrich the film library, the copyright owned by China Film Group and China International Television Corporation must be bought, otherwise there will be too few films in the domestic film library of Time Film and Television.
In the capital, in the building of China Film Group, Huang Shiqing heard Jin Yutang's intention and said doubtfully, "Do you want the copyright of the films in our China Film Library?"
Jin Yutang said, "That's right. Anyway, you can leave it. It's better to sell it to us!"
Huang Shiqing smiled and said, "Brother, you said this wrong. Our films are often shown on movie channels. How can it be said that they are useless? I heard that Wanbang has been buying the copyright of film and television dramas crazily during this period. I don't know where to play it?
Wang Film and Television is a leader in the industry. People are staring at every move, and the video website can't be concealed at all. Jin Yutang immediately replied, "We have recently set up a video website and want to enrich the film library. If it is done well, it can be vigorously publicized when "Jimmortal" is released in the future.
Huang Shiqing was shocked when he heard this and said, "Video website, young people are really brave. For the sake of our cooperation in shooting of Zhu Xian, I will give you a discount. You can choose which films you like in our film library, but how about unifying tens of millions of films?
Jin Yutang almost lost his anger and said, "Mr. Huang, is it insincere to talk like this? Few of the films in your film library can gross more than 10 million!"
Huang Shiqing was not angry and said with a smile, "Mr. Jin, you can't say that. The box office of those old films in the past was not high, but the prices in those years were also low! Moreover, many of the creators of old films did not have a good reputation in those years, but now they are stars in the film and television industry. To be honest, 10 million copies are still for the sake of our cooperation!"
Jin Yutang seemed to smile and said, "If we make such a price, our time film and television money is not enough to buy your film library. What kind of website can we open?"
Huang Shiqing said, "The website is originally a money-burning business. If it is so easy to open a website, we will open it ourselves. Will it be your turn to Wanbang Film and Television?"
Jin Yutang is wary when he hears it. It is really because the resource strength of Zhongying is much stronger than that of Wanbang. In terms of video websites, he may become an opponent in the future.
Mr. Huang, we have been preparing for video websites for more than half a year, and the next website may not appear at any time. During this period, we will cultivate a large number of loyal users, which is of great benefit to the promotion of artists and the promotion of films. Are you sure you don't think about it anymore?"
In fact, so far, Time Film and Television has only been preparing for more than three months. Half a year is just to confuse Huang Shiqing.
Huang Shiqing leaned against the sofa, took a deep breath of smoke and said, "I hope we can still maintain a pleasant cooperation in Zhu Xian."
Jin Yutang knew that nothing could be done, so he got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he said, "Mr. Huang, about December, Time Film and Television will be online. I hope you won't regret it!"
Huang Shiqing laughed and said, "Yutang, I know that the three bosses of Wanbang Film and Television have extraordinary abilities. They are all dragons and phoenixes among people, so I wish you good luck in the opening of Time Film and Television and all the best!"
After saying a few words, Jin Yutang left China Film Group and returned to the hotel to meet Song Siwei, who went to China International Television Corporation for negotiations.
"How's your place, Lao Song?"
Song Siwei sat on the sofa, pulled off his tie around his neck and said, "Don't mention it, those guys are simply lions opening their mouths. The CCTV version of the four masterpieces are all 500,000 yuan per episode, and these four TV series alone cost more than 90 million. Do you think it's annoying?"
Jin Yutang sighed, "It's almost the same here. Huang Shiqing's guy is actually packaged and sold, unifying tens of millions of pieces."
Hearing this, Song Siwei couldn't help frowning and said for a long time, "Major domestic film and television companies have tightly grasped the copyright in their hands. Even these companies that jointly shot Zhu Xian with us can't give us any discount. It seems that the domestic film and television dramas of Time Film and Television can only be supported by our own works. Fortunately, we have made a lot of well-reserved films in recent years.
Jin Yutang nodded and said, "At present, this is the only way. How about abroad?"
Song Siwei said, "The news came from Cui Fuxing that the United States is still going well. As for Europe, Japan and South Korea, there is no news for the time being."
Cui Fuxing was invited by Wanbang Film and Television through a headhunting company to be responsible for the American market. Time Film and Television Company divides the world into four regions, namely China, the United States, Europe and Japan and South Korea.
"Although Cui Fuxing's side is going well, he has spent a lot of money. On his side alone, he has spent 300 million yuan. Our 800 million is not enough to do anything at all!" Song Siwei sighed.
Jin Yutang was also a little worried and said, "In this situation, 800 million is indeed not enough for what to do!" If it doesn't work, we can only introduce venture capital. To be honest, I think video websites are really very good. It's a pity to introduce venture capital and give up shares!"
Song Siwei advised: "If we don't introduce venture capital, we can't afford to burn this money, and it's too risky to continue to invest more. The attitude of the General Administration is not very clear!"
Jin Yutang laughed and said, "We have invested so much money, even if we start all the relationship, we should make Time Film and Television go online smoothly. To put it in a word, this is the money at the bottom of my box!"
Song Siwei said, "I also took out the money at the bottom of the box and bet on this one, but I don't know where Zhang Duo is and how much deposit there is."
Jin Yutang blinked his eyes and said, "He, I estimate that there are still 1 billion and 800 million. After all, he still has a Songjiang Morning News and Wansheng books!"
"In my opinion, let's call him and ask him for his opinion!" Song Siwei said.
Zhang Duo is at the shooting scene of Zhu Xian at this moment. After hearing Song Siwei's introduction, he calculated and said cruelly, "I can still pay 200 million here. Let's deal with it first!" Forget about introducing venture capital. How many meters do we have and how many cooks we cook? Otherwise, it is not appropriate to occupy the market but lose shares. As for the follow-up video website companies, they won't appear if we want to stop them. There are so many film and television resources in the world that we can't buy all the copyright!"
Song Siwei was cautious. After listening to Zhang Duo's words, a hot heart gradually calmed down a lot. Indeed, there are so many film and television resources around the world, and there are endless good programs. Who dares to say that they can buy them all? One billion, two billion, five billion, or 10 billion. As long as you can take out the money, you can spend it. But new film and television programs are still being produced.
In view of the non-cooperation of domestic film and television companies, almost all the nearly billion funds on the books of Time Film and Television have been spent on film, music and variety shows in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea.
On December 8th, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. Time Film and Television Company, all the technical, administrative and senior managers, sat nervously in front of the computer, waiting to witness the miracle. Even the cleaning in the company is worried and knows the success or failure of this "money-burning" company.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, CCTV, and China Film Group, and most important people related to the film and television industry, sit in front of the computer and stare at the screen to see what the results of the video website are.
Li Junhao, a loyal fan of Zhang Duo, used to be an ordinary employee of a state-owned enterprise, but now he has mixed to the middle level and has his own independent office. However, he is still very idle at work every day. When he is free, he reads novels and movies to pass the time.
On this day, he opened the Wansheng Novel Chinese Network and prepared to continue reading online novels. But when I saw the top of the homepage of the website, a big advertisement popped up: "The world's first video sharing, online video website online, throw away your heavy CD, watch movies online!"
"What good thing is this?" Li Junhao looked excited. As the advertisement said, he would also watch movies when he had nothing to do, but it was really troublesome to watch discs on the computer. If he could watch movies online, it would be a good choice.
After clicking in, you can see a photo of a boy and girl facing the camera on the homepage of the website and looking at the sunrise. It says, "Time is not old, we will not part." Look further below, movies, TV series, music, variety shows, animation, sports and other categories!"
"Damn it, isn't it? Can this website really watch movies?" Li Junhao exclaimed.
"Oh, my God, NBA, you can watch the NBA here!" In the capital, a middle-aged man exclaimed in his home.
"No, my favorite Shanghai Beach!" In the office of a building in Shanghai, a white-collar worker screamed.
"Wow, here are my favorite Japanese anime, a lot! I don't know how to look at that first! One Piece or Naruto!" A little Lori-looking girl exclaimed in her room. The girl's mother thought something had happened to her, so she ran in with a spoon in her hand.
"What are you shouting? Nini?"
"Mom, I'm wondering whether to watch One Piece first or Naruto first!" The girl bit her finger and said.
The girl's mother looked at the child dotingly and said sadly, "Nini is obedient. When my mother gets paid this month, I will buy you a set of DVDs. You can watch it whenever you want, okay?"
Nini smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to pay for me to buy discs. On this time network, I can watch my favorite animation for free. There are a lot of them! You don't have to buy me discs or rent discs anymore!"
Nini's mother stepped forward and exclaimed, "Really, is there such a good thing?"
"Yes, mom, don't you believe it?" The girl casually clicked on the first episode of One Piece, which began to buffer.
"Nini, look first. I'll finish the dishes and then come with you!" Nini's mother turned around and walked to the kitchen. As soon as she turned around, she heard her familiar melody.
Nini's mother suddenly turned around and said with an incredible face, "It's so fast!"
