Chapter 1517 Selfishness

It’s over!

When Director Pi heard this, his heart sank.

He knew this would happen!

Yin Jun has already mentioned this, and the vice president will definitely not be able to refuse again.

Yin Jun's economic investment in the mainland, the establishment of various factories, hiring more workers, and creating more economic benefits are what the people above value.

What kind of movie theaters and what kind of movie controls are trivial matters compared to these.

Although the power to import foreign films has always been in the hands of China Film and China Film and Television, Hong Kong films cannot be lumped together with films from other countries. They belong to half of us.

Especially with Yin Jun around, it becomes even more special.

Now that Yin Jun has taken advantage of the problem with the cooperation model in Guangdong Province, he directly asks for the right to screen the film. This is tantamount to poaching from all cinema systems!

Well... although the meat itself is not theirs.

And in fact, Director Pi doesn't think they did the right thing by piracy.

But with such a system, the working wages of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as the lives of their families, are a huge mountain!

If something goes wrong, the people above will not care about the actual problem. They will definitely catch Director Pi and the others and yell at them, and then take off their official hats.

Thinking of this, Director Pi couldn't help but ask, no matter how much he didn't want to talk, "Mr. Yin, what should I do with my free time in the past few years? Is it to suspend the pilot cooperation with Guangdong?"

"Well, since it has failed, let's stop!" Yin Jun replied harmoniously but firmly.

A wry smile appeared on Director Pi's face, but he continued, "Mr. Yin, I think we can discuss it. There are still many excellent things in Xiangjiang's movies, and our mainland audiences and movie fans all like them. If two empty seats are left empty, Three years may be a bit too wasteful... Do you think you can imitate the previous practice of the North American branch of the Kirin Group and sell copies to our mainland movie theaters?

What you may not know is that their lives are really hard! I almost had no money to pay my salary before! These employees’ homes are full of old people, wives and children. It’s not easy for everyone! In recent months, everyone has become a little more comfortable because of the movies in Xiangjiang! They also know that this is wrong, but due to the pressure of life, there is nothing they can do! "

The vice president moved his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to scold Director Pi.

It's really not an easy decision to make when the livelihoods of so many employees are involved.

Yin Jun looked at their expressions and sighed slightly in his heart.

After all, not everyone wishes to be the boss.

Only Mr. Zhu had the astonishing courage to cut off the iron rice bowls of tens of millions of workers in state-owned factories and enterprises, and throw away all this heavy burden at once.

People who are not from that era have no idea how much pressure these state-owned factories that suffered serious losses put on the country in those years.

It is no exaggeration to say that I was literally out of breath.

I wish the boss took such a sharp action. Although it has been painful for several years, it has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent reduction of the overall burden on China and its rapid development.

However, Yin Jun had already considered this possibility.

To be clear, the life and death of these people has nothing to do with Yin Jun. It is normal for an industry like this that does not adapt to the development of the times to close down.

If everyone sympathizes, then they will become cancerous tumors that suck the country's finances and will only hinder the country's development.

This is the biggest reason why Mr. Zhu sheds tears and kills state-owned enterprises.

In a dilemma, we can only do this, there is no other way.

Even if I feel sorry for many people, they can only make sacrifices for the sake of more people and the entire country.

Yin Jun is a businessman, and these cinema systems with rigid institutions are definitely not what he considers.

But now is the time when his foothold is not stable. It is not the time after 2000 when private film companies and theaters have developed vigorously. Therefore, he can only get a pass in the mainland by making more concessions.

"That's okay. If the broadcasting bureau agrees, I have no objection." After thinking about it, Yin Jun said, "For the specific number and price, you can discuss it with Qilin Films!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yin!" Director Pi breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Yin Jun.

He also heard what Yin Jun meant.

Since we are asked to discuss the quantity and price, it is necessary to negotiate.

"The Lion King", which was so popular before, only sold 2,000 copies, with each copy costing only HK$10,000, making mainland film companies, cinemas, and copy factories a huge profit.

It's just that there are still too few movies like "The Lion King". Kirin Group obviously has many best-selling movies, but almost none of them have been allowed to be introduced, which can only make people in this system sigh.

Now that the option of Xiangjiang movies has suddenly been added, the feeling of having the same origin is even stronger, and everyone will definitely like it even more.

The most important thing is that there are enough movies in Hong Kong!

If one film is released every half month, there will be no problem if it is released continuously for decades!

With such a good source of income, they won't complain so much anymore! !

As for whether the broadcasting bureau is willing to open the door, Director Pi is not worried.

Because of the previous pilot cooperation with Guangdong Province, a hole has actually been opened.

Now the pilot has been changed to a buyout operation, and the people in this system are the ones who benefited. Why does the Broadcasting Bureau disagree?

Besides, don’t even look at where this place is!

In the XX Pavilion in Huajing, where the vice president and Yin Jun were both present, how many broadcasting bureaus had the guts to block what was discussed?

For this matter, I guess he wouldn't mind if I borrowed some of the vice president's tiger skin!

…

Yin Jun didn't quite believe what Director Pi said that it was very difficult for employees in the cinema system now.

Because he knows a secret that many people don't know.

That was in the 1980s, which was actually a golden period for Chinese movies!

In this era, there are many movies that cost more than 100 million yuan each.

It's not just "Shaolin Temple" by Jet Li.

Moreover, people in this era have no TV to watch, no Internet to play on, and no smartphones.

So watching movies is their most common pastime.

Hence the golden age of the 1980s.

By the 1990s, a large number of pirated copies of Hong Kong and American European and American movies were pouring in, and video stores and disc stores were springing up all over the country. Video tapes and VCDs became very popular and became the best carriers of Hong Kong and American movies. The cinema has basically become a decoration.

In 1993, the worst year, the box office for the whole year was only 1.3 billion--similar to the box office of "囧囧" 19 years later, which was less than a quarter of the 2017 "Wolf Warrior 2".

But since then, China has finally figured it out. In 1994, it began to introduce Hollywood blockbusters of that year on a separate basis, and slowly cultivated the market.

Now Yin Jun is many years ahead of them.

Although "The Lion King" was released with a buyout, this has already opened a hole.

The success of "The Lion King" also indirectly contributed to the success of the Guangdong pilot. Even the method of buying out a certain number of copies this time was derived from "The Lion King".

Now in 1983, not to mention VCD, even video tapes are not available in China, and it is impossible for a video hall to exist.

The only thing people can consume is movie theaters, so Director Pi said that the employees in the movie theater system have no money to pay wages, but Yin Jun doesn't believe it.

But what can you do if you don’t believe it?

Are you going to expose them?

So what's the benefit?

If there is any benefit, Yin Jun can go directly to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yun after receiving the evidence that copy factories and movie theaters are so brazen in stealing his movies for broadcast.

He believed that as long as he came to the door, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yun would definitely give him face and clean up the industry.

But then there was some trouble. The cinema system and the broadcasting bureau were all born to the same mother, and everyone was inextricably connected.

If you mess with them once, Qilin Films will face many difficulties if it wants to develop the entertainment industry in the mainland.

There is no need to publicly report personal grudges. If you are stuck, delayed or hesitant in many aspects, you will be frustrated and go on in circles.

This is different from the United States. In the United States, everything is done according to the system. Others dare not do this. If they do, Yin Jun will definitely send them to prison, and they will not suffer any retaliation.

This is the disadvantage of a humane society, and this is the disadvantage of not distinguishing between public and private affairs.

At present, Yin Jun has no way to change, so he can only deal with things in a moderate way.

I won’t punish you severely, but don’t expect me to suffer the consequences of not saying anything.

If you continue to make trouble like this, then everyone has nothing to say, so let’s start a war!

I believe they would not dare to fight to the death with Yin Junlai, otherwise it would trigger a collective backlash from Hong Kong businessmen, which is no joke.

Moreover, the courage of this group of people can only be stumbling behind their backs. How can they be brave enough to confront them?

Yin Jun didn't deal with them because they stole his wealth, which was already a sign of respect.

I believe both Director Pi and the Vice President can see who Yin Jun is giving face to.

To be honest, they were all grateful to Yin Jun for his forbearance and tolerance.

If it had been any other foreign or Hong Kong businessman, it would not have been possible to expose this matter so easily.

They won't give up until they cause an uproar and claim ten times more benefits!

The two of them will naturally keep this favor in mind.

If they still dare to rebound and want to do something, they don't need Yin Jun to speak. The first people to worry about are Director Pi and the vice president, and they will take care of this group of people on Yin Jun's behalf.

If the big guys within this group take action, the effect will be much better than if Yin Jun does it himself.
