Chapter 677 I Want to Run a Satellite TV Station!

After a busy morning, Yin Jun only ate a piece of bread and a box of milk at noon, and took a nap in the office.

At around three o'clock, Yin Jun, who had slept soundly, arrived at the Peninsula Hotel in his own car.

Shao Yifu has special preferential treatment here, so Yin Jun reported Shao Yifu's name, entered the coffee shop smoothly, and then saw Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen chatting with a smile.

When I walked in and listened, I found that I couldn't understand what the two were saying.

Lingbo is located in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many local dialects in the south of the Yangtze River, and Lingbo dialect is one of them. It is naturally impossible for two people from their hometown to speak Cantonese seriously.

Seeing Yin Jun coming, Qiu Degen, who saw Yin Jun first, smiled and waved to Yin Jun without standing up.

Like him, Shao Yifu turned his head politely and nodded to Yin Jun, which was regarded as a greeting.

Although the status of the three people is similar now, they are all the bosses of the TV station, but both of them are old enough to be Yin Jun's grandfather, and they should put on airs a little bit.

What's more, Qiu Degen is still Yin Jun's uncle Qiu.

Sitting down at the small round table, the waiter next to him came over and poured a cup of black tea into the porcelain cup in front of Yin Jun, and immediately retreated to the corner.

The young man unceremoniously ate a few pieces of snacks, and then drank the black tea in one gulp before leaning back comfortably.

"It's great to be young!" Shao Yifu sipped his black tea leisurely and smiled, "If I were his age, liquor, cigars, women...everything would come, and I would have a great time!"

"Who says it's not?" Qiu Degen stretched his waist, "Like me, I feel tired after sitting in the office for half a day. I used to work for two or three days without any problems at all!"

"So, while I'm young, I should work harder." Yin Jun closed his eyes and said, "Now time is running out, I have to hurry up!"

Shao Yifu was so angry that he laughed, "You want to hurry up, so you screwed us two old men?"

"Uncle Six, that's not what you said." Yin Jun opened his eyes, "I bought a new company, and if I don't give them some benefits, how can I let them work hard for me, and how can I catch up with your wireless TVB?"

Shao Yifu was speechless.

I've never seen someone say that they want to catch up with you in front of others.

Qiu Degen answered from the side, "Ah Jun, it's not Uncle Qiu that I'm talking about you, you're throwing away so much, you don't even have enough money! Also, the salary conditions you give are far worse than wireless and From ATV, the difference is huge. Especially the top stars, almost twice as much, doesn’t this make us feel bad? You don’t want all the stars to go straight to you, do you?”

"That's not true." Yin Jun shook his head, "They come to me, and I don't have many places for them."

"But what you do makes it impossible for us to do business." Shao Yifu said, "The cost of everything is high now, if we continue to increase our salary expenditures like you, how much money will we make? ? They earned all the money!"

"That's right, Ah Jun! You are supported by the whole golden hen of "Kirin Weekly". Brother Six and I don't have as much wealth as you." Qiu Degen said, "Do you want to revise your salary system? A little bit? Among other things, how about you lower it by 30%?"

"Uncle Qiu, I just sent out the order yesterday, and if I revise it today, will they still obey me? If the prestige is gone, can this TV station still manage well?" Yin Jun quickly refused.

"It doesn't have to be now, it's okay after a while." Shao Yifu said very caringly, "We can also sue you to the Broadcasting Authority, saying that you disrupted the market, and then they will order you to conduct a self-examination, so that you will not have Is it an excuse to lower the price?"

Yin Jun smiled wryly, "Uncle Six, do I still have to thank you for being so thoughtful for me?"

"I'm doing it for everyone's benefit." Shao Yifu said with an unchanged expression.

But Yin Jun knew that Shao Yifu absolutely wished that Jiashi would go bankrupt tomorrow, no matter whether it was in Yin Jun's hands or not.

That's what it is like to be a TV station, the fewer opponents the better!

Qiu Degen was also a little emotional. Originally, they were discussing to kill Jiashi completely while Yin Jun was not cooperating with him.

But I didn't expect Yin Jun to complete the acquisition so quickly, and it was a wholly-owned acquisition, which meant that Yin Jun wanted to do a big job.

Asking Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu to fight Yin Jun together, Qiu Degen felt a little awkward. Yin Jun's help was indispensable for ATV to be acquired so smoothly. It was really ungrateful to Yin Jun.

Besides, Qiu Degen watched Yin Jun grow stronger step by step.

Against such a genius, against such a genius who is bound to become the richest man in Xiangjiang in the future, Qiu Degen's psychological pressure does not know how great it is.

Therefore, after Jiashi changed the boss, the alliance between ATV and TVB broke down, because Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen couldn't talk together.

Now the two just hope to join forces and let Yin Jun make some setbacks, otherwise TVB and ATV will really feel very uncomfortable.

Yin Jun's screenwriting talent, coupled with his strong financial support, no matter how you look at it, TVB and ATV are no rivals.

Faced with the two men's a little coercion, Yin Jun was not angry, and of course he didn't mean to follow suit.

Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu are indeed good friends, and their control of costs has almost reached the point of madness.

Now that Yin Jun raises the salaries of the staff and actors, it has already made them feel unbearable. If they see the exaggerated salary and various expenses in 40 years, they will have a heart attack right away?

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Qiu, the times are constantly changing now, if we always hold on to the original set of ideas, we will definitely not be able to adapt to the times." After pondering for a while, Yin Jun said, "For example, Uncle Liu's Shao Brothers movies , still maintain the big studio system that started to rise in the 1930s in the United States. But now the United States has changed a long time ago, and Xiangjiang has also undergone positive changes, but you still don’t want to change.

This caused Shaw Brothers to step down from the number one throne step by step. No matter the director or the star, they all felt a bit out of date. If my prediction is correct, Shaw Brothers will completely stop production because of your persistence within 10 years at most. If this is the result, Uncle Six, do you think your persistence is still meaningful? "

Shao Yifu was so angry that he clenched his fists.

No one had ever dared to speak so bluntly about Shaw Brothers films in front of him, about his life's hard work.

But Yin Jun didn't say anything wrong, and there were reasons, even if Shao Yifu wanted to refute.

Qiu Degen hurriedly said, "Hey, Ah Jun, it's too biased for you to say that. Although the sixth brother is conservative in making movies, has he made money differently this year? Look at Chuck's "Golden Sword Woman, look at Du Qifeng's "Blind Detective", don't they all make money? Also, he invested in your "Police Academy" movie, don't you think you're going to lose money?"

"I definitely won't lose money, but it has nothing to do with Uncle Liu." Yin Jun said frankly, "It is impossible for me to share every movie with others. Now Shaw Brothers, Jiashi, and Princess Golden are the three major theaters. Everyone is competing, and everyone knows that my film is making money, so it will be released naturally. At that time, everyone will not be eligible to ask for a share."

Shao Yifu had a headache when he heard it, "Wouldn't it be too risky for you to make such a big investment by yourself?"

"I will not fail." Yin Jun said confidently.

Shao Yifu opened his mouth, originally wanted to say a few more words, but remembered Yin Jun's net worth of 4 billion, so he sighed and stopped talking about it.

So Yin Jun continued to reason with them: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Qiu. In fact, if it was just for such a small market as Xiangjiang, I would not work so hard at all. Xiangjiang only has more than 5 million people, and at most it will be 7 million in the future. , such a small place, if my newly announced salary conditions are followed, even if you are all defeated, I will still lose money every year.

Shao Yifu became interested, "You still want to call overseas? How?"

"Isn't there satellite TV in the United States and Europe now?" Yin Jun said, "I think we can also experiment, renting part of the signal of the communication satellite, and then covering the whole Asia, so that all Asians can see my program Think about it, there are only 6 million people in Xiangjiang, and there are about 500 million people in all of Asia, even if Huaguo and India are not included? With such a population of 500 million people covered, how much will advertisers spend to advertise for us? advertise?

And what is the added expense of my TV station? Except for a little star fee, except for a little production cost, isn't the rest just a little artist's salary? Isn't the difference between 500 million and 6 million enough for me to double their salary? If they perform well, I will earn back ten times the money. "

Qiu Degen's eyes lit up, but he frowned immediately: "How is it so easy for you to go to the satellite? Are there satellites with stable communication signals now? Even if you are on the satellite, how can those poor places have the money to buy satellite reception?" device?"

Historically, the first satellite TV station in Asia should be Japan's NHK TV station. In 1984, it began to send its own satellite signals to the world.

Xiangjiang's first satellite TV station had to wait until 1988 for Li Chaoren to apply for it, and it was officially launched in 1991.

So Yin Jun said this matter 10 years ahead of schedule, which is really too early.

The conditions are not very mature.

Shao Yifu is also very familiar with this. He shook his head and said, "Now the average selling price of our wireless TVB TV series in other cities is about 150,000 per episode, and the net profit income is about 200 million a year. ATV is cheaper than ours. A little more, almost 250 million, and Jiashi is the least at 120 million. You need to make changes, but we don’t need to. After all, an extra 200 million in advertising costs is not as easy as this pure profit.”

Yin Jun shook his head and said, "I didn't ask Uncle Liu and Uncle Qiu to come with me. I just want to tell you what my next strategy is. It's just...Uncle Six, you think the price of 200 million foreign dramas is easy to come by." , but my side has no way to expand advertising revenue, that is simply a big mistake."

"Hehe, do you think you can succeed?" Shao Yifu asked with narrowed eyes.

"I don't think it will be successful." Yin Jun said proudly, "Yes, there are many difficulties in being a satellite TV station now, such as satellite launch problems, signal reception problems, program promotion problems, advertising investment problems...etc. But how will you know if you don’t do it? If you don’t work hard, how can you possibly have the chance to dominate the whole of Asia? Uncle Shao, I’m not like you, I’m willing to live in such a tiny place.”

Shao Yifu was not angry when he heard this, he had already passed the age of passion, and now his anger is often for others to see.

At this time, it doesn't matter if he is angry or not, Yin Jun doesn't care whether he is angry or not.

In terms of economic strength, Yin Jun is much richer than him.

In terms of his strength in the TV station, Yin Jun had no pressure to beat TVB TVB two years ago, and Shao Yifu had nothing to do with him.

So, Shao Yifu still asked calmly, "What are you going to do?"

Yin Jun did not answer him, but continued to say to himself, "That's right, Xiangjiang's film and television company is now the only one. People from all over Asia, including Japan and South Korea, like to watch our film and television. But in the future Will it always be like this? Now that movies have been banned in several countries, what about TV dramas in the future?

If they think that filming their own TV series can not only reduce costs, but also cultivate their own TV talents and increase their sense of glory, do you think they will gradually reduce our TV series? By that time, will our TV dramas still sell as well as they are now? Without sales from other places, what do you two use to support so many stars, actors and staff? What do you use to make money? "

Qiu Degen has always admired Yin Jun's vision in the entertainment industry, especially the TV drama industry.

Hearing this, he nodded and asked, "What you're talking about should be Yuanyou, right? We've worked hard to film the show well, so why don't those audiences still watch it? After the demand is over, can those TV stations buy it? "

"Uncle Qiu, you are too naive to think like this." Yin Jun laughed, speaking a little bluntly, but today he came here just to shock the two old foxes, so it doesn't matter if he speaks harshly.

Looking at the two, Yin Jun said, "You don't understand, some countries have been influenced by our country for more than 2,000 years, and now they don't want to be influenced by us anymore, they need to have something of their own, or... Independent culture. What foreign audiences want to watch is not decided by them, nor by TV stations, but by people from the government above.

Once the administrative power starts to intervene, prohibiting the broadcast of Chinese TV series, and vigorously develop TV series and programs in their own languages, what do you think the following TV stations will do? Are they obeying? Or resign and leave?

Or let's put it another way, Xiangjiang is the size of a bullet. The current screenwriters and actors are the accumulated resources of the past few decades. They have experienced too much suffering and tempering, and now they are ushering in a period of explosion. .

Once this group of people grow old, those pampered actors and screenwriters grow up, will they have the ability to take over the burden of their predecessors and become the mainstay of Xiangjiang entertainment circle? Do you think children who grew up with no worries about food and clothing can give birth to another week? Can there be another Zheng Shaoqiu? Can there be another I, Yin Jun? "

This time, even Shao Yifu was a little moved.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the future, but he only thinks about ten years from now at most.

Yin Jun's consideration now is 30 years later.

You can say that Yin Jun is worrying unnecessarily, why do he think about the future so early.

But it can also be said that Yin Jun is considering a century-old foundation for Xiangjiang's film and television entertainment industry.

And what Yin Jun said was categorical, as if he had seen such a situation happen before.

Why is he so sure?

Shao Yifu couldn't figure it out, and neither could Qiu Degen.

But both of them understand that a genius like Yin Jun is still so worried, so TVB and ATV need to worry even more.

Among other things, as long as Yin Jun maintains the speed of producing a classic work in two months, then Jiashi's future TV series will be more than enough to sell more than 300,000 yuan per episode.

Calculating that Jiashi can sell more than 4 out of town income in a year, Yin Jun can spend the money he bought Jiashi in two and a half years, and earn back from the money in other places alone.

However, even so, Yin Jun will carry out a major innovation that "severes muscles and bones". Isn't it possible to explain the severe situation that may be faced in the future?

To put it bluntly, Xiangjiang TV stations are now increasingly relying on income from other cities to achieve increased profitability.

Once this is broken, only relying on the small place of Xiangjiang can guarantee that the family will survive!

"The biggest advantage of my satellite TV station is that I can control my own destiny." Looking at their pensive looks, Yin Jun said slowly, "Satellite TV stations, as long as people from these countries can directly install satellite receivers , you can watch it without having to go through the signal of the local cable TV station. As long as my program is good and the TV series is good, they will always support it. After all, this is a free program. Who would not like it?

As for me, as long as I let them form a scale and use this viewership number to negotiate with advertising agencies, do you think they are willing to spend more money so that their products can cover the entire Asian region? At that time, let alone 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion, even if it is 5 billion Hong Kong dollars a year in advertising expenses, what is it? "

When he said this, Yin Jun had strong self-confidence.

In less than 20 months from the start of broadcasting to the sale of the Satellite TV Chinese Channel hosted by Li Xiaochao, the total advertising revenue was about 380 million U.S. dollars. According to the exchange rate at that time, it was about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Yin Jun, a time traveler, has such great strength, and has so many classic TV dramas and variety shows at home and abroad. If he can't do about twice as much as Li Xiaochao, it will be a great failure.

Obviously, Yin Jun will definitely not fail!
