Chapter 1035 Film and Television Production
The trip to the UAE has ended, the cooperation between the three parties has just begun, and the era of great change has just begun. However, not everyone has seen this trend. For example, the financial market in China is ignorant and is still in the low-level stage, and there is no registration system or circuit breaker mechanism. The Magic City Securities Index has reached more than 4,500 points, and 5,000 is right in front of you.
"Just take care of ourselves, don't meddle in other people's business!" Zhou Shi said coldly
"Why? There are obviously great risks, why don't we remind you?" Zhu Yunlai
"You said that at present, is there still a shortage of financial talents in China? What anyone can see, meat eaters really can't see? Or do you think the interests of the capital market are greater than ours! We are doing an unprecedented and may far-reaching change of the direction of the world's development..." Zhou Shi
"These two things do not conflict!" Zhu Yunlai
"Do you still remember the story of Chen Wansan building the city walls for Zhu Yuanzhang and working hard on the army? Are you a little inflated and forgetting the nature of Chinese society. Also, don't treat yourself as a savior..." Zhou Shi. The matter of chasing accounts in autumn has almost become a standard in China. Even if a dog is not liquidated at that time, he will be settled by chasing accounts in autumn. Don't say anything that is immune to all attacks with strong strength. Why do you have to do unnecessary things? Which is more important, a small part of the interests or the long-term overall situation? What's more, China advocates dedication, but it has always been an individual's dedication to the collective, and there is no return on the collective dedication to the individual.
The simplest example is that before China develops, the industry and agriculture scissors gap was apart. Farmers paid taxes and paid public grain for decades, but when they are old, they still cannot enjoy the benefits brought by the rise of China (sinvestment and other social security and medical insurance benefits), not to mention the publicity of the students who encounter: "If the students are good, the government will come to the elderly" has become a complete joke.
Before the government establishes credibility, no matter how cautious it is, it is necessary.
Whether Zhu Yunlai understood or not, whether this was his test of himself, Zhou Shi would not let him do whatever he wanted. If he was just a small person, or only his wealth on the surface, he could naturally let himself go even more, but the wealth he actually controlled exceeded that of any domestic company, which would be very different. Any of his decisions might have been magnified 100 times in the past, but now it can be magnified 10,000 times. This difference in influence is the fundamental reason for being cautious in words and actions.
Of course, Zhou Shi's influence is not as good as that of the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Greenspan. At that time, someone would pull out a fart to interpret Greenspan. Every piece of paper with words he circulated will be carefully studied by Wall Street. Different people bear different responsibilities. Entrepreneurs who do not pay attention to their words and deeds are exiling themselves. For example, the invasion scandal of Uber Kalanick, Tesla's Musk is unrestrained and privatized... Kalanick has paid the price for his actions, and Musk has this possibility.
When he was redirecting to the Magic City, Zhou Shi stayed in China for a few days. With his influence and cooperation with Starlight Film and Television, he established a joint venture company to be responsible for domestic live music interactions. Sunac is a natural real estate partner. Commercial real estate is not only office buildings, large stadiums, and performing arts/event centers. This time, the performance in the UAE, the domestic company sent a lot of people to participate in the study.
Although the domestic life is a small company, Zhou Shi still went to meet them. After all, the live events may be a center of future cultural life. Even if you cannot participate on the spot, you can attract a lot of viewers through VR live broadcasts.
Xingguang Film and Television has always had fixed art performance theaters in various forms such as operas and dramas. Whether it is to make some money, to cultivate the reserve force of actors, or to have a sense of social responsibility, Xingguang has always been continuously investing in this regard.
Live performances are just a more popular form of performance. The cooperation between the two parties is to better cultivate the domestic market. When it comes to harvesting, it is acceptable whether the joint venture is split, part of one person, or acquired by a certain company.
By 2015, the confidence of mainland film and television companies increased greatly. Xingguang Film and Television, which had good performance, had a market value of 250 billion soft girl coins in this bull market. The domestic movie box office market finally exploded, exceeding 30 billion soft girl coins last year. Not to mention this year, it is still continuing to explode. In addition to Maoyan, the Taopiaopiao movie event of 9.9 yuan, some film and television companies' own ticket subsidies are also promoting the rapid development of this market.
The capital market naturally responded instinctively, whether it was to invest or to enjoy money, the influx of funds allowed the scale of film investment to continue to expand. The first thing that drove was not the quality of film and television works, but the rise of traffic stars. The success of "Tiny Times" made this film and television investment model less risky, and in the end it was the audience's own choice.
As the leader in China, Xingguang Film and Television is not unique. Xingguang's focus is to find this balance between the director-centered system and the producer-centered system. Zhou Shi has always disliked the director-centered system, mainly because the director's professionalism is insufficient. The director is good at artistic creation, but a huge investment movie is more like a company operation. There are countless details to pay attention to since the preparation of the movie. Can Chinese directors be good at operating companies besides making movies?
To put it bluntly, the director-centered system is an excuse for them to let themselves go and squander investors' funds. A poor student who can't learn mathematics well and wants to control a large project worth hundreds of millions is not a joke. As for limiting creative freedom and affecting the filming level, it is not impossible, but it is hard to say how much moisture there is.
The producer-centered system is more conducive to the interests of investors, and can ensure that the film's budget is reasonable and the shooting cycle is not exceeded. It also frees the director from daily creative external affairs and focuses on creation. In addition, the producer can also formulate a unified overall strategy for project development, production, marketing, distribution, overseas and brand continuation from the overall perspective.
"Our current approach is that more than 100 million large projects adopt the producer-centered system or improve the producer's rights in the entire project, that is, learn from Hollywood art directors and photography directors to cooperate with directors to form the core artistic creation team. The executive producer and producer director serve the producers and form the main management team; when working with new directors, in most cases, the producer-centered system is adopted. Of course, there is another situation, which is to outsource the film to the director's production team..." Zhang Zhao, the expansion of the market and the expansion of interests have made Zhou Shi pay more attention to Starlight Film and Television. So in addition to routine reports, he and Zhang Zhao had more communication.
