Chapter 1117: Spending Money Does Not Mean Being Stupid

After he was reincarnated and returned, Yin Jun's identity was different, his vision was different, and his considerations of problems were naturally different.

In his previous life, the most important thing that Yin Jun did was to save costs and make the magazines required by his boss as detailed as possible, and then save the money so that he could keep it for future use.

But now that Yin Jun is running his own company, he feels that using money to pave a way is not a bad choice when he first starts to conquer the country.

For example, when Yin Jun was running "Kilin Daily", if he had not made the newspaper free directly and hit 300,000 daily publications in one go, how could he have defeated those who had worked hard for decades in just two years? The old newspaper has suddenly become the most influential newspaper with the highest market share in Hong Kong?

Others have only seen the success of "Kilin Daily", but not that Yin Jun has to bear huge losses of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars every month. Even now, he has not made a profit, and he can only barely maintain capital, from time to time. The deficit will continue.

You know, that was a monthly loss of tens of millions starting in 1979.

At that time, houses in Xiangjiang only cost more than 600 square feet.

What now?

Now it is more than 1,200, which has doubled!

If Yin Jun had used the subsidy money to buy a house, he would have made hundreds of millions by now!

But some things cannot be measured by money.

Another example is the Qilin Daily. The power it now exerts in the Hong Kong and Aomen areas cannot be compared with hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

It is precisely because of such a powerful tool of propaganda media that what Yin Jun wants to express and convey can be quickly known to the people of Xiangjiang, and people in Xiangjiang who are accustomed to "Kilin Daily" can easily come to Accept what Yin Jun wants to convey to them.

Even the Xiangjiang government dare not ignore Yin Jun's influence in the media. As long as their basic laws remain unchanged, then even if they suppress Yin Jun who is leaning towards the mainland, Yin Jun will have ways to fight back against them.

For them, the media is also a double-edged sword. If they don't want to offend media tycoons like Yin Jun, naturally they will not deliberately offend them.

After gaining experience and benefits from "Kilin Daily", Yin Jun also used this method to purchase Disney and United Artists Film Company in the United States, directly using money to make them willing to sell their shares.

Others laughed at Yin Jun because he was stupid and had too much money. He spent more than 30% higher than the market price to buy two companies with no future. But only Yin Jun knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would want to buy these two companies again. For a company, you simply don’t even think about it.

As long as it is something you need, spending so much money to buy it is much better than spending money to buy it without being able to buy it.

Isn’t this the case for Chinese enterprises in later generations?

With a lot of US dollars, but I can't buy the company I want, the United States and the European Union just say, "We won't sell it!"

Now it was Yin Jun's turn to make a name for himself as a film and entertainment group. Simply relying on commercial blockbusters would definitely not be enough, so Yin Jun immediately began to arrange the production of artistic films, which can also be said to be award-winning films.

The thoughtful Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia went to produce "Mother and Daughter", Yin Jun himself specialized in "The Shawshank Redemption", and then the entire Disney came out to produce "The Lion King", which of course should not be underestimated.

Next year, in addition to the treasure of "Forrest Gump", Yin Jun will also produce two or three more Oscar-level movies, bombarding major film awards in turn, so that everyone can see, Qilin The films produced by the film can not only achieve great success at the box office, but also have artistic accumulation, and have been praised by many experts.

Originally, Qilin Movie started late. If it were not so indiscriminately bombarded, it would not be able to rise within three to five years, which would be meaningless.

After all, in Yin Jun's view, the most dangerous part of his business in Xiangjiang was the few years after 1985. At that time, there were all kinds of changes. If he could not grasp the powerful media power and gain a firm foothold, it would most likely be ruined. will be suppressed.

As long as you become a media and entertainment tycoon in the United States and have a global reputation, you can avoid being squeezed out of your living space.

In this regard, Yin Jun has a good senior example.

Mr. Abu from Russia.

Originally, Abramovich was always kneeling down to lick the Tsar, but the Tsar still seemed to have the intention of not letting him go, so Abramovich simply bought Chelsea Club in the UK, and quickly made it a wealthy club by spending money, and then relied on Chelsea Club has successfully joined the ranks of the British aristocracy, thereby giving itself a great guarantee and ultimately avoiding becoming a victim of the czar's iron fist.

The Governor of Xiangjiang and the British government are definitely not as powerful as the Czar, and the media group in the United States built by Yin Jun is definitely far superior to Chelsea. So with this level of protection, Yin Jun should be More stable than Mr. Abu.

Of course, it's too early to say these things.

After all, Yin Jun hasn't even bought ABC TV station, which is Disney's main asset.

Oh, let’s talk about ABC TV. In January, they had already launched “Detective Hook”. Due to the good promotion and preparation, the number of viewers was very high from the beginning, reaching more than 10 million people.

Now in mid-February, the number of viewers has stabilized at around 25 million.

With such results, it is firmly ranked among the top ten in the United States during this period. Moreover, this is only the beginning of the first season. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the future. ABC has no reason not to be satisfied.

The Disney TV Channel's "Happy Hotel" still maintains a high level of popularity. Although it is underwhelmed by the average 80 million viewers of "Dr. It has exceeded 50 million, very close to the 55 million viewers, and it still makes people feel like they are standing tall at the top of a mountain.

Because "Wind Doctor

Even the most conservative evaluation agency estimates that the first season finale of "Happy Hotel" in April will have around 62 million viewers.

With such extraordinary and outstanding results, the production of the second season is already a certainty. Even because the actors of "Happy Hotel" have signed contracts for this drama for more than fifteen years, it is completely binding. status, but the production costs for the second season will inevitably increase. The salary of a few hundred dollars per episode is far from enough.

According to reports from Tang Shuxuan and Yin Jun, the salary for the second season will at least triple, which means the production cost will reach about 200,000 US dollars per episode.

But compared to the super profits that "Happy Hotel" has created for Disney Television Channel, this is nothing at all. ——After a year, this advertising fee has become a sky-high price of 300,000 US dollars for thirty seconds, ranking fourth among the advertising fees for American TV series!

It's not that Disney is unwilling to give them a salary increase, but "Happy Hotel" will obviously be filmed for more than ten seasons. If the increase is so high at the beginning, how will the production cost be balanced in the future?

Advertising fees will not rise endlessly. If the compensation system completely destroys the balance, then no matter how popular "Happy Hotel" is, it will still have to reluctantly cut it off and no longer produce it.

The recent "X-Files" that Yin Jun gave to Yu Yunchang and Chen Xunqi, isn't it because the production fee of up to 4 million US dollars per episode was too high for Fox to afford for 24 episodes, so it was no longer produced?

Most of the actors in "Happy Hotel" are very satisfied with the production of the second season and the upcoming increase in their salaries.

First of all, because they have been on the street for many years and have experienced the pain of not being famous, now that "Happy Hotel" has made them famous in one fell swoop, they are of course very grateful.

Secondly, salaries in today's film and television market are not so exaggerated. It is not like the sky-high price of US$100 million for a movie or US$1 million for an episode of TV series in the future.

Many of the actors in their TV series only receive basic salary every month. If their salary can be doubled next season, they will suddenly enter the middle-income class. No matter how you say it, it is a good thing.

Not all actors think it's very good, but now, no one dares to stand up and say how much more salary they want to increase.

After all, no matter how popular "Happy Hotel" is, it does not rely on one or two people to support this TV series, but relies on the power of the group and the stories that happened in this bar to support it. connotation.

In this case, even the boss can be replaced, let alone the waiters and guests inside.

Anyone with some brains will know this.

If you don't give up on your promising future, but insist on asking for a high salary, then the screenwriter will simply ignore your role and make you no longer appear in the second season. How simple a thing!

Who suffers the greatest loss from this?

It must only be the actor himself!

It took a lot of effort to turn from being a street kid into an actor in a popular TV series. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to star in more TV series and seasons to consolidate your fame and prestige so that you can star in other TV series or movies in the future? Making preparations is instead thinking about things that are unrealistic. How stupid does one have to be to do this?

Therefore, as the actors and production staff have begun to prepare for filming the second season of "Happy Hotel", the crew has not encountered any bloody things, and everything is as planned.

This also reflects the control that Kirin Group has over the TV series crew, just like what Yin Jun did in Xiangjiang.

In this world, whoever controls the most important resources can have the greatest say! !
