Chapter 268 Killing Chickens and Monkeys

With China's entry into the WTO, Chinese cinemas have finally opened up. In the past, cinemas that only belonged to state-owned enterprises have finally begun to open to ordinary people, but of course, it is impossible to really open to ordinary people. Even if ordinary people, even if the cinema is completed, it is one thing whether it can be opened or not. This is not an exaggeration, but it is true. .

Basically, both private enterprises and foreign capital can enter. In theory, this is true, but the liberalization of the foreign investment access policy is not as smooth as people think. According to the regulations, the shareholding of foreign capital shall not exceed 49%; for Sino-foreign cooperative cinemas, the joint venture of China should have the leading power of operation, and it is basically impossible to make foreign capital too arrogant.

Compared with foreign capital, the cinema industry has completely liberalized private capital, but the capital barrier makes the players who are really qualified to participate extremely limited. The investment in a multi-hall cinema is often more than 10 million yuan.

If you want to form a cinema line, it naturally requires more than dozens of investments of hundreds of millions or even billions. For the current Star Entertainment, it is a very expensive investment. Now Star Entertainment can't afford this money even if it is all added up. Even if the current Star Entertainment sells iron, that is, More than 100 million yuan and about 200 million yuan, even if Wang Zhengfei is added, it is only more than 400 million yuan!

When the money is used, Fang hates less!

"Good idea, there is no problem with the access qualification!" Gao Yan said that Wang Zhengfei still can't figure out the background of Gao Yan's family, but he also knows that it should not be an ordinary family, and it is still no problem to get an admission qualification.

"I decided to withdraw 100 million yuan from all the company's funds and build ten cinemas in major first-tier cities in the early stage!" Gao Yan said proudly.

"In that case, does the company have any liquidity?" Wang Zhengfei was shocked. Gao Yan was really bold. Now the total assets of Xingchen Entertainment add up to only more than 200 million yuan, and the working capital is only more than 100 million yuan. Gao Yan simply took out 100 million yuan to build a cinema, which was really bold.

"What about the next "Snow Leopard" and "Palace"? Do you have enough money?" Wang Zhengfei asked.

"Isn't there still the dividend of "Qin Shi Ming Yue"? As long as the dividend of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is received, everything will not be a problem!" Gao Yan said confidently that the good results of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" so far have greatly stimulated Gao Yan's self-confidence and made him extremely confident. Up to now, "Qin Shi Ming Yue" has recovered the cost. According to the dividend, Star Entertainment has been able to get about half of 50 million.

"But the results of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" are too unstable. It's not good to put your hopes on this!" Wang Zhengfei frowned and said that if there was a problem with the shooting of Snow Leopard and Palace for this reason, it would definitely not be worth the loss.

"Isn't there still you?" Gao Yan said with a smile that although he did not accept the company being controlled by others and the film did not accept foreign investment, Wang Zhengfei is different. Wang Zhengfei is not an outsider. Wang Zhengfei has cooperated with him so many times, and the two sides have long been separated from each other.

In fact, it is often the projects that Star Entertainment wants to invest in are often higher than their real ability. At this time, foreign funds are needed to enter, and Wang Zhengfei is his own person and rich, so it naturally becomes the first choice.

With Wang Zhengfei, it is equivalent to having more than double the capital, using the power of the capital of two star entertainment to do a star entertainment thing.

Seeing Gao Yan trusting himself so much, Wang Zhengfei was slightly moved and said, "Okay, then I'm one. I will also invest 100 million yuan to build ten cinemas!"

Unlike Gao Yan, more than half of the 200 million yuan of Xingchen Entertainment's capital is fixed assets, while Wang Zhengfei is completely working capital. His 230 million yuan in the entertainment industry is completely working capital, which can be transferred at any time. Wang Zhengfei is very advantageous.

"Good!" With Wang Zhengfei's bottom, Gao Yan's psychology is much more determined. Two years ago, Xingchen Entertainment Company was only able to invest in a super low-cost film with a cost of less than 500,000 yuan, and six months ago, Reading completed the shooting of a film with a large investment of more than 100 million yuan. With such a large span, the leapfrog development is light. It can be said to be the development of volcanic eruptions.

One of the most important things to achieve such a miraculous development is the cooperation between the two people, regardless of each other.

And unlike the partners of ordinary companies, although Wang Zhengfei owns 20% of the shares in the company, he actually does not care and will not affect Gao Yan's position in the company.

And Wang Zhengfei, who keeps withdrawing money and cooperation, is actually a bank that provides loans, but this bank wants to participate in dividends.

However, even with the participation of Wang Zhengfei, the financial resources of the two are still too weak. There are only 20 cinemas, which are simply the scale of a small cinema line. It can't form a large scale. It is still difficult to form a scale of profit.

Generally, one year after the completion of the cinema, one seat can generate an income of 15,000 yuan a year, and a total of 500 seats in the cinema is 7.5 million yuan. With some income, the income can exceed 10 million yuan a year, that is to say, if it goes well after almost a year, the cost can be recovered, at most It won't be more than two years. In this way, in another year, the scale of this cinema can be doubled again.

However, it also takes time. Not to mention the newly built cinema, it is impossible to put it into use without more than a year. If you want to buy some poorly run small cinemas, it will also take time to renovate and reopen. In short, it is still early to make a profit, but Star Entertainment is not only in the past few years. Their goal is to put it in the next ten years, or even more than 20 years.

"Eh-en, let the company's people give an evaluation report to discuss this problem in detail!" Wang Zhengfei said, "Let's talk about the insider in our company!"

In addition to the upstream and downstream groups, the insider inside the company is also a very important copy leak.

Hearing this, a flash of evil spirit flashed on Gao Yan's face and said, "Well, what else is there to say about people who eat inside and crawl outside? Our company's treatment is also famous in the industry!"

Because Xingchen Entertainment has just been established for two years, there are not many people, but the profits are one of the best in the same industry. Gao Yan is not a stingy person. Naturally, the company's employees are given the top treatment in the whole industry. I don't know how much. People in other companies are envious of it.

"Even so, they still eat inside and out. They have to scare some people fiercely. I've thought about it. I just broke my legs, drove out, and reported that the whole industry would not be hired!" Gao Yan's words shocked Wang Zhengfei. Only then did he find that Gao Yan was actually much more ruthless than he thought, but yes, if he didn't do it hard, it would be difficult to stop this trend. However, if they were fired, they would take hundreds of thousands of yuan to sell the company and live happily. At that time, they didn't know if it would cause How many people follow suit?

"Since they like money so much, let them spend their whole life thinking about whether it's worth exchanging hundreds of thousands of yuan for a pair of legs!" Gao Yan said with a sneer that he hated these traitors very much. He thought that his opponents were not bad, but he was still betrayed. Can he not be angry? Since he was a child, he has seen far more dark sides than ordinary people think.

Wang Zhengfei did not refute. Gao Yan had already made up his mind at this time. There was no need to say more to him for a few traitors.

The following is the matter of the website. In the face of those infringing websites, whether to sue or not, or what!

As far as Wang Zhengfei knows, since 2004, "Big Shot" was infringed and spread by a video website in Yanjing, and Huayi Brothers took the infringing website to court. In 2005, the Haidian Court ruled that the infringing website should compensate Huayi Brothers for economic losses of 340,000 yuan. This set a record amount of compensation at that time, which had not been surpassed until the end of 2009, when Huayi Brothers received 350,000 yuan in infringement compensation for the online infringement case of "Abination" at the end of 2009, which broke the record again.

In fact, the increase of 10,000 yuan from 340,000 yuan to 350,000 yuan actually took a lot of effort. In most of the online piracy infringement cases, the amount of compensation does not exceed 100,000 yuan, and there is generally only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan or 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is less than a fraction of the losses caused by piracy to a film.

China's copyright law is available, but the law enforcement and punishment are not enough. The general act of law enforcement is to investigate street vendors, trace the source, and the act of raiding pirate groups is relatively rare.

The amount of compensation is so low, and there are so many investigation and evidence links in the middle, which is the biggest problem. In terms of legal aspects, first of all, the copyright owner can require the network service provider to delete the infring work, but this procedure often requires two to three tasks, and according to the current diffusion speed of network transmission, the spread in three days. The possible harm is already very great; secondly, if the infringing work cannot be deleted in time, and the copyright owner investigates the infringer's responsibility through litigation, the litigation procedure is complex and long, and the amount of compensation in the current judicial practice is generally low. This may be a consequence that the existing infringement may not be If it is stopped in time, the damage caused cannot be fully compensated.

If you expect to get enough compensation from websites such as Tudou.com, then Wang Zhengfei will vomit blood. Wang Zhengfei feels that the most important thing is to show his attitude and Star Entertainment's attitude, that is, he will never tolerate it, no matter who can invade it.

It's more about killing chickens and warning monkeys than really hoping for compensation!
