mid-September.

A news came out in the film circle - the film "The Owl and Dumbo", produced by Pan Disheng, directed by Hong Jinbao, starring Hong Jinbao, Lin Tsaixiang, Ye Dexian, and Yang Ziqiong, was officially launched.

This news is for the die-hard fans of Hong Jinbao, Lin Tsaixiang, and Ye Dexian, just that there is a movie they are looking forward to.

But after Xu Cun read about it in the newspaper, he knew that the famous Debao Film Company was about to be born.

Then, Xu Cun looked for Cen Jianxun's name in "The Owl and Dumbo", and wanted to use Cen Jianxun as an excuse to kill Debao, a powerful film company, in its cradle.

pity--

In the position of the planner of "The Owl and Dumbo", only Wu Ma is the only one - Cen Jianxun's name did not appear in the movie "The Owl and Dumbo" like the previous life.

In this regard, Xu Cun could not help but be disappointed!

but--

Thinking that Debao's most famous movie "Royal Sister" series and Debao's second helm are all under DreamWorks, Xu Cun laughed at himself - with DreamWorks' current strength, he still cares about a small virtue Treasure?

After that, Xu Cun turned his attention to the people who entered his office.

The person here is Ye Zhiming, a man of great legend!

Ye Zhiming acquired a family by speculating, selling and chartering yachts in Saigon, earning over a million in fake money in the United States, and then went into the oil business and lost everything.

Afterwards, Ye Zhiming established a jeans kingdom of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars with 40,000 yuan in Binbin jeans.

In the same period, Ye Zhiming also started the Binbin Film Company, and successively made several films that ranked in the top ten of the annual box office in Hong Kong.

Subsequently, the exhibition of Binbin Film Company encountered a bottleneck-because there was no theater chain of its own, the films of Binbin Film Company could not be arranged in a good schedule.

In order to break through the bottleneck, Binbin Film Co., Ltd. cooperated with Shuangnan Cinema. As a result, Binbin Film Co., Ltd. was not only handed over to Qiu Degen and Chen Songqing because it was banned by the Taiwanese authorities. Even Binbin jeans lost their vitality because they lost the Taiwan market.

After that, Ye Zhiming made a lot of money from Beihai Fishing Village, and then Ye Zhiming, who wanted to make a comeback, raised tens of millions of funds to build the Qiaozui Island Resort. As a result, the unlucky Ye Zhiming encountered the collapse of Heungkong Real Estate again. .

One of the reasons why Xu Cun agreed to meet Ye Zhiming, who had lost everything because of the Qiaozui Island Resort, was because Ye Zhiming had a younger sister who had a false name, Ye Yuqing, a first-generation beauty queen.

Of course, it wasn't all because of Ye Yuqing that Xu Cun saw Ye Zhiming, but also because of the plan that Ye Zhiming brought Xu Cun's interest.

After asking Ye Zhiming to sit down, Xu Cun said, "Why did Mr. Ye ask me to cooperate in the videotape business?"

Ye Zhiming came prepared - after hearing Xu Cun's question, Ye Zhiming immediately replied: "I asked Mr. Xu to cooperate with you in the videotape business for four reasons. First, you are very rich, Mr. Xu. Second, Mr. Xu, you are very famous. Third, DreamWorks and Phoenix Television have the copyrights of many movies and TV series. Fourth, only you, Mr. Xu, can enter the mainland market.”

Xu Cun said noncommittally, "Mr. Ye, can you explain your four reasons to me?"

Ye Zhiming smiled and said: "Of course! Mr. Xu, if you have seen my plan, you should be clear. I plan to take the video to the whole of Asia and even Europe and the United States. It is impossible for such a big business to have a large amount of capital to make the principal. It was made in a short period of time. To be honest, I can't get so much money now. And money is only one aspect. Without the support of your fame, Mr. Xu, even if I had more money, my video tapes would not be short enough. It will break into the markets of various countries within time, especially the semi-closed market in the mainland. As for DreamWorks and Phoenix TV, there are many copyrights for movies and TV series, needless to say. Do you have to open the copyright? All in all, I think you can make a lot of money in the video business with you!”

This year, Paramount is priced at $39.95 for a home videotape of Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, more than $40 less than the average price of previous movie videotapes. As a result, the price competition in the home video tape market has intensified, which has jointly promoted the popularity of video recorders.

And just two years later, consumers are spending more on buying and renting videotapes than they would pay in theaters.

It can be said that Ye Zhiming's vision is very accurate and the timing is very good - now is the best time to do video business!

The most rare thing is that Ye Zhiming even set his sights on the mainland market.

In the mid-1980s, video recordings swept the mainland in the form of “halls”—video halls were all over the urban and rural communities in China, and their tickets were cheaper than movie theaters. , so it's even more appealing than the cinema.

Therefore, if it can really open up the video tape market in the Mainland, its profits will definitely be very considerable.

but--

There are two big problems to open up the mainland video tape market~lightnovelpub.net~ First, there are not enough VCRs in the mainland.

Second, through formal channels, it is impossible to send films that are not allowed to be broadcast in the mainland into the mainland in the form of video tapes.

After listening to Ye Zhiming's explanation, Xu Cun directly asked these two problems: "How do you solve the problem that there are not enough video recorders in the mainland and that movies that are not allowed to be broadcast in the mainland are sent to the mainland in the form of video tapes?"

Ye Zhiming replied: "The first problem is easy to solve. Japan's Funai Electric has developed a relatively low-cost video camera, and this video recorder is very suitable to open up the mainland market. The second problem is actually not difficult to solve. , we can use your relationship with Mr. Xu to start a formal videotape business in the mainland, and at the same time, we can support mainlanders to do an informal videotape business in the mainland by making master tapes."

In the last life, Funai Electric assembled video recorders in China and exported them to North America. Soon, founder Tetsuya Funai became the earliest billionaire in the Japanese electronics industry.

It is also a good idea to encourage mainlanders to do piracy by mastering. Xu Cun remembers that in the mid-1990s, Vcd and DVD were opened in the mainland market by this method.

Therefore, the two solutions given by Ye Zhiming can indeed solve the two problems that must be faced in opening the mainland video tape market.

After hearing Ye Zhiming's answer, Xu Cun asked, "Is there any problem if I want to buy Funai Electric?" - The video recorder market in the mainland is also a big piece of fat. How could Xu Cun, who has always been greedy, give this piece of fat to Funai Electric? ?

After listening to Xu Cun's words, Ye Zhiming felt a great sense of confidant - Ye Zhiming also wanted to buy Funai Electric and also do the video recorder business.

Therefore, Ye Zhiming immediately said: "If I don't reflect my value, I am not qualified to cooperate with you, Mr. Xu. Leave the acquisition of Funai Electric to me."
