Chapter 1344: Joss's Imbalance

Hollywood, opposite an old movie theater, in an inconspicuous cafe. Yang Dongxu and Joss sat face to face.

Yang Dongxu was not completely lying when he said that he just happened to ask about YouTube this time. Because he did have more important things to do in the United States, which is also the biggest challenge that Haina Records has encountered since its establishment.

It stands to reason that the company is facing huge challenges and crises. As the big boss of Haina and the president of Haina in the United States, Joss, the two big men should sit in the company's conference room to discuss this matter.

But in fact, this matter cannot be solved by discussing in the conference room, because the things that can be discussed in the conference room are generally things that you can take the initiative or have the ability to solve. And now Haina is facing the right problem, which cannot be solved by sitting in a meeting.

"So, they feel that Haina is fat and delicious now, so they want to swallow it in one bite, right?" Yang Dongxu did not have a sneer on his face, and his tone was not sarcastic.

Because as a rich man, he knows the face of capital better than anyone else. Bullying others with power, big fish eating small fish is the most common means of capital, so the sudden blocking of offline sales of Haina records and the major media newspapers reporting various scandals of Haina artists are not surprising in the American entertainment industry.

"In the past few years, Sony had to guard against many opponents in the United States, and its main focus was on the Asian market. Universal and Warner also had constant disputes, and it can be said that they were fighting each other.

In the past two years, whether in Europe, America or Asia, the territory of records can be said to have been clearly divided. Since the territory has been circled into its own arms, the eyes will naturally look at those territories that do not belong to it, and try to see if they can get more." Jos said helplessly.

To be honest, as long as he is given another five years, even if he is given another three years, he will definitely have the information to make Haina take root in Hollywood. Promote the singers of Haina Records to the world in a step-by-step manner, but it's a pity that the other party does not give this time.

"So after looking around, I feel that Haina is easier to bully." Yang Dongxu shrugged as if he was mocking himself.

"Hina is mainly in Asia, and in Europe and the United States, although the Chinese market has established a foothold. But Europe and the United States are the world of white people.

Although we have signed many local European and American singers in the past two years, the records have sold well, and even nominated for Grammy. But compared with record giants such as Sony, Universal and Columbia, we are still too weak in terms of European and American artists."

"Does the other party have us?"

"In short, the situation is more difficult than before. Our records have only established a foothold in the Chinese market. But you also know the status of Chinese in Europe and the United States.

Currently, Haina's business scope covers three major areas, variety shows, film and television, and records . All the big names in variety shows are trying, but the results are not very good. So now we still have the advantage.

Although the situation in the film and television industry is awkward, the movies we invested in are all profitable, but we have not made any influential movies of our own, and we don’t have big directors or big stars.

But because most of the movies we invested in make money, there is no shortage of examples of big profits. Many Hollywood film and television companies have the intention of using us as lucky numbers, and the movies in which Haina is one of the investors have almost become a slogan to attract audiences to enter. "

Faced with such a weird film industry like Haina, President Joss doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He has made a lot of money over the years, but he always feels that his position is very embarrassing.

"So the only thing left is the record industry, right?" Yang Dongxu took a sip of coffee.

"Again, more than half of the foundation of Haina's record industry now comes from Chinese. But the status of Chinese in Europe and the United States is not good, and they don't even have as many votes as black people.

And Chinese like to stay in their own circle. They also do business, but most of them do business with their own people. They don't participate in the media or politics. Even if other record companies kill our record industry, they won't protest." Jos really has no way to deal with this.

"What conditions do they have?"

"What other conditions can they have? They say they want to cooperate in producing records. In fact, they just want to dig away those singers who have emerged through our talent shows in recent years and are not very popular." Jos snorted coldly.

"Picking peaches." Yang Dongxu leaned back in his chair and looked at the flow of people coming in and out of the door of the old cinema opposite.

Those who can be selected by Jos are naturally satisfied with Yang Dongxu. There is even a lack of singers who can become kings and queens in the future.

Although these people have not won the championship, after training for a few years, they feel that they have more prospects than those winning talent show champions. It would be a big profit if they just resold it in a package. In addition, the territories have been clearly divided and the conflicts are limited to a reasonable range, so naturally they can't help but be greedy.

"Do you have any good suggestions now?" Yang Dongxu said after a moment of hesitation.

"If possible, you'd better meet Bieber Rentona."

"He can help us solve the problem of the company's records being blocked by others."

"No, no, no, Bieber can solve the problem of movies, but he can't help us solve the problem of records. Unless you are willing to accept the conditions of those big record companies, they will dominate the style of the records, and we will only provide the supporting role of the songs."

"Movies?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows. He wondered why Joss brought up the topic of movies when he was clearly talking about the difficulties faced by the company's records.

"Records are the first step taken by these big record companies, and the companies owned by big record companies are also film and television giants. So we have no way to break through in the record field for the time being.

Because they control the media, all kinds of publicity channels except Yiting Technology, the production and distribution of records, and other absolutely advantageous resources.

So this aspect can only be temporarily stalemate and cold treatment, and after they take our records, the next step will definitely be our film and television production. Then the goal is to make the most profitable variety show in Haina at present, and finally swallow us all.

At present, if it makes money, Haina has indeed made a lot of money in Hollywood, and many people are willing to make money with us. But there is still the same problem. Haina has never shot a hit movie on its own.

We are just in the prologue of the movie. In the curtain, there was only a line of text from the investors, which disappeared after a flash. No one can remember us.

Similarly, the movies invested by Haina are selling well. Many movie stars have a pleasant cooperation with us, and many artists hope to be able to act in the movies invested by Haina. In this regard, we have a good reputation.

But so far, the entire Haina company does not have a top superstar artist in Hollywood, nor any well-known director, and even does not have a signed screenwriter, even if the other party is just a novelist with good works.

This is very abnormal, extremely abnormal. So this seemingly profitable business is like floating in the clouds. One day, those big film companies don’t want to play with Haina, and the clouds will float away with a light breeze. It seems that you are not just going to Hollywood to make money. "Jos said.

Yang Dongxu's brows were completely frowned. He invested in Hollywood not just to make money. As the saying goes, if he wants to make money, he has a lot of good projects in his hands.

He invested in Hollywood just to control part of the public opinion discourse. Why do many Chinese people feel very angry about the news? But foreigners don’t feel anything, and even make a fuss to watch the excitement?

Is it just because they are not victims?

There are some reasons for this, but it is more about the guidance of public opinion. It is like China has become the second largest economy in the world in more than ten years, and even began to catch up with the United States at a soaring speed. It is only a matter of time before it becomes the world's largest economy.

But in the eyes of many foreigners, China is still that poor and backward country that can't even afford a full meal. This is the power of media guidance.

No matter how well you develop, how safe China is, and how friendly people are to other countries in the world. People have not been to China, so they can't see all this at all. So all the awesome capital is not as impressive as a random smear report by a tabloid.

And when the newspapers are all smear reports, then in the eyes of foreigners, China is black.

So you must have a certain right to speak in the media. Chinese sports stars abroad are far more famous internationally than other so-called stars in China.

Why is this so?

Because sports are about results. No matter how you smear, as long as the gold medal is in your hand, there is no objection, and people are easy to remember the champion, and foreigners are no exception.

So Yang Dongxu acquired the 76ers, acquired Barcelona, ​​and entered Hollywood. I just want to establish the image of China in the eyes of foreigners, so that they feel that China is quite powerful, so that you can export culture.

No one likes to learn from the weak. It is far from enough for foreigners who are interested in Chinese culture to approach and understand Chinese culture based on interest alone.

"Can he solve our problems in film and television production?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"It can't be completely solved, but it is a good entry point. Bieber is the honorary mayor of Hollywood." Jos said.

Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, because under normal circumstances, the title of honorary mayor is not a good title. The prefix "honorary" basically represents no real power.

"I really don't know how you make money from Haina, whether it is records or movies, variety shows are even more popular." Jos looked at Yang Dongxu angrily.

Obviously he saw Yang Dongxu's misunderstanding of the honorary mayor of Hollywood. And this misunderstanding shows from the side that he, the big boss, is not as attentive to Hollywood as he imagined.

Thinking of all the efforts and struggles he had before, he could only survive in the cracks. But Yang Dongxu did not take the initiative to understand Hollywood, and he didn't even care much.

But he could make a lot of money in Hollywood, and the record industry even threatened the record giants, asking them to join forces to ban him, which made Joss suffer from stomachaches.
