Chapter 180 [Break the cauldron and sink the boat, dominate the world]

Liang Kun said lazily: "You think things too complicated. If you look forward to it, the ending of multi-line development may be very bad. You mentioned the record company just now and said that you want to go to the mainland to try the waters first. I already understand your idea."

"Then what do you think I think?"

"You want to open a film company in Xiangjiang, and then go to the mainland to work with a few famous directors first. If the box office and reputation are good, you can slowly shift the focus of your work. If you fail in the mainland, go back to Xiangjiang to develop, which is a way out. In addition, you want to join Jiaji Entertainment, sign a short contract and release two albums to increase part of your income, which is also a way out."

Andy Lau was stunned. This was indeed his inner thoughts, and Liang Kun said it was all right. Not too surprised. After filming "Infernal Affairs", he planned to do this.

Are you wrong? Are you good at reading minds?

How do you analyze these things? You are not studying literature, but psychology, right?

"Your expression made me more convinced that that's what you think." Liang Kun took a sip of the drink and smiled: "I can tell you with certainty that this is the wrong way, not the retreat."

"Why?" Andy Lau was even more surprised.

Liang Kun smiled. As long as the other party was interested, he would be half successful.

If he wants to convince Andy Lau, he cannot say ambiguous words. Otherwise, the other party will probably choose the path he wants to take, and will not listen to him as a young man, or will even be angry and end the topic.

So, Liang Kun directly applied a fierce medicine, first showing his extraordinaryness, and then told him that it was wrong to do so.

"Because I know the mainland better than you and the preferences of mainland audiences. You opened your company in Yanjing and was the first superstar in Xiangjiang to settle down in the mainland. Do you know what this means?"

"What?"

Liang Kun smiled and said, "You will become a benchmark and a banner. The mainland is now preparing to vigorously develop the entertainment industry. In order to attract more Xiangjiang stars to develop in the mainland, the big guys are likely to be willing to support you and will not let you fall easily, as long as your heart is on the mainland."

"But I gave up on the Xiangjiang market... I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one, what if I fail?" Andy Lau would not be confident if he heard Liang Kun say a few words. This is not what the boss promised him.

Countless fans think he is the best, but he doesn't have a high positioning for himself. He knows very well that he is an actor, and no matter how famous a person is, it is not as good as a person with power. It is too easy for some people to change his destiny.

Liang Kun's answer was Feng Qingyundan. "Then don't fail, those who burn their boats will not be defeated."

Andy Lau was shocked, and Liang Kun said it a little hot. Once upon a time, he thought he would definitely win? When did he start? He became cautious?

Character determines a person's life. The same problem lies in front of the two of them. Andy Lau chose to leave a way out for himself, but hesitated. Liang Kun chose the way of the King of Western Chu.

The appearance is born from the heart. Andy Lau now feels that Liang Kun’s image has grown like this, which is not without reason, but is very consistent with his personality.

Andy Lau thought for a while and sighed: "I have no foundation in the mainland and no strong backstage. If there is capital intervention and competitors harm me, how can I withstand it? If I lose again, the consequences are not something I can bear."

"You won't lose, because you have too many choices in the mainland, which is also a good thing for the company's artists. When there are more and more people in the company, you will also invest in more and more movies. In addition, you can not only make a lot of money, but also win many new stars." Liang Kun continued to draw big pie for him.

"Why are you so confident in me? Don't you know how bad the box office of filming movies is now? The movie environment in mainland China is not good." Andy Lau said with a wry smile.

"I know, so I suggest you invest in TV series, try not to touch blockbusters in movies, and make small comedy, romantic films, and art films to make big money. At the beginning, you don't expect to make money because you advertise the company, seize the market, and absorb talents."

"Aren't the TV series all produced by the TV station? Can I invest in filming this?"

Liang Kun was stunned for a moment. "Of course, you don't know?"

Andy Lau shook his head. The way Hong Kong and mainland TV stations operated very differently. Since 1988, he has never acted in long TV series, only short films.

His last long TV series is called "Siyalang Jie". The actors' looks are quite weird, especially the villain Wolf Demon, which is simply indescribable. He will not pay attention to TV series in the future, and almost no one who has played the protagonist of the movie wants to act in TV series again.

Only two TV stations in Xiangjiang have been licensed by the government to provide free local TV program services, Asia Di Chinese is one of them, and the other is TVB.

Both TV stations in Xiangjiang produce TV series themselves and rarely purchase them out of the market. It was not until 2005 that ATV canceled the local TV series production department, and later purchased TV series to support the rest of the entertainment time. In the end, only TVB is the only one who has the ability to create TV series, and gradually relies on Chen Hao, who is known as the "ugly handsome" to be the leader...

Liang Kun introduced Liu Dehua to the situation of mainland TV stations. There are many ways to purchase TV series, roughly two types, one is to buy out copyrights and the other is to buy broadcast rights.

Buy out copyright means that the TV station directly buys the copyright of the TV series, and no other station can broadcast it unless the copyright is approved by the TV station. This situation rarely occurs because the person in charge cannot determine whether the film can be popular, and few TV stations are willing to take this risk.

Under normal circumstances, you can buy the right to play TV series, and there are three types: one is the exclusive first-round playback rights, one is the first batch of playback rights, and the other is the second-round playback rights.

The exclusive broadcasting rights simply means that the TV station offers a high price to buy the first round of broadcasting rights. When this station is broadcasting, other TV stations cannot play. After he finishes broadcasting, other TV stations can play the second and third rounds.

The first batch of broadcast rights will be the first round of broadcast rights jointly purchased by several TV stations. At that time, everyone will broadcast it together. One drama, four stars, and one drama, two stars are the same model.

As for the second round of playback rights, I will wait for the first round of other TV stations to play the second round and the third round by myself.

"Filming a TV series is indeed an option. I can't star in a TV series again. It's better for other people in the company to shoot this." Liu Dehua sighed. He couldn't do it alone if he opened a company, and he would definitely sign an artist.

"The times create heroes." Liang Kun thought for a while and smiled: "The news says someone wants me to act in the TV series "Fengyun". Although it is fake, let's take this as an example. Zhao Wenzhuo went to act in the TV series. I think it would be better than him continuing to stay in Xiangjiang or making movies in the mainland. What do you think?"

Andy Lau nodded. Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't choose a good movie at all when making a movie, and investors didn't like him either. The rate of return was too low and he couldn't support the box office.

This is the case for this actor with a dream start. It is even more difficult for those actors who have never made big-name movies and are famous. They are simply a day to make a comeback.

If Andy Lau's company has been making movies, the artists who join the company will only be a supporting role. Can the audience remember them? Then he will not invest in TV series and ask the agent to find a way to stuff the artists into other TV series teams? This is feasible, but they may not be a popular TV series.

"What kind of TV series do mainland audiences like? Do you think "Fengyun" can become popular?" Andy Lau asked.

Liang Kun stretched. "The ratings of "Fengyun" should be good, but it is difficult to enter the top ten of the year, and the investment is too high. There is a "Liu Laogen", and the investment cost is definitely much smaller than "Fengyun". If the two films are broadcast at the same time, I bet that Liu Laogen will be a complete combination of the storm and Zhao Jishan will dominate the world."

What a god, Zhao Jishan dominates the world. Can my team make such a film that sounds full of rural spirit?

Andy Lau was amused and crying.

In fact, he could try filming "Rural Love" and then sing the theme song "The People in Our Village".

Liang Kun continued: "Zhang Weijian's TV series has a high rating in the mainland. As long as the script is good, the ratings are not bad. There are only a few TV stations in Xiangjiang, and there are not many places to choose from when filming TV series well. Hot dramas in mainland China will be robbed of the first round of broadcast rights, and there will be more than one round of broadcasting. The five first-tier satellite TV stations are definitely willing to buy the TV series you produce."

Liang Kun also learned some knowledge from Xu Zhenzhen to understand some of the situations of TV stations. In recent years, there have been more and more TV series in China, including domestic films and some imported ones. Several major TV stations are scrambling TV series, attracting audiences more than movies.

This is a fact. The total box office of Chinese movies in 2001 was terrible. "Thunder Men" was starring Aaron Kwok-cheng, Wang Lihong, Fujiwara Nobuka, Ruby Lin and others, with an investment of 80 million Hong Kong dollars and a box office of 8 million rmb in the mainland.

Andy Lau smiled and said, "I am indeed a little moved after you said so much, but I haven't even invested in TV series as a suitable script?"

"No, you have it." Liang Kun pointed at himself with a smile.

Andy Lau also smiled and immediately understood what he meant. It turned out that the topic was here.

Liang Kun did not simply talk to Andy Lau, but wanted to cooperate with him. Andy Lau opened a film and television company as a shortcut for Liang Kun to enter the entertainment industry. He could write best-selling scripts, and naturally he could write popular scripts.

Andy Lau did not doubt Liang Kun's talent at all, just as Liang Kun would not doubt the fame of the king. The possibility of a win-win situation between them was extremely high when they cooperated.

If Liang Kun opens a film and television company by himself, it will be very difficult to develop. He has no connections and only has scripts to shoot movies. How can he form a good crew team?

Although Liang Kun also has some fame, he is a pure newcomer in the entertainment industry. What talents can he attract when he opens a company? Not to mention a potential new star who is already well-known, ordinary actors who are not famous may not be willing to pay attention to him and have no future at all.

It’s different if Andy Lau has a film and television company. He is responsible for showing up in public, and he is probably responding to all the calls in the mainland.

Liang Kun also has a future vision. He knows which actors are doing poorly now and can become popular in the future. If Andy Lau attracts people, how can the company not develop?
