Chapter 331: Stick and Carrot
…
After handing Zhou Huimin, who was at a loss, to Deng Lijun and Anita Mui, Xu Cun went to DreamWorks with Hu Huizhong...
Honestly--
Many people in DreamWorks don't understand Xu Cun's relentlessness to the mainland. Those people think that even if Xu Cun has feelings for the mainland, he can continue to pretend to be a snake with the Taiwan side and secretly help him. Go to the mainland. In this case, relying on Xu Cun's international reputation, the Taiwan authorities may not impose heavy hand on Xu Cun.
Not to mention other people, even Hu Huizhong thinks so (Hu Huizhong is from Taiwan after all, so it's normal to think so.).
If it weren't for DreamWorks being Xu Cun's personal property and Xu Cun's achievements in the past were too dazzling, someone would stand up to criticize Xu Cun, at least someone would stand up and give Xu Cun some advice.
Now, although there have been no objections, this does not mean that no one has any objections, but those who have objections are waiting for Xu Cun's response—if Xu Cun's response measures are inappropriate, then there must be a series of trouble arises. For example, some artists have left the DreamWorks agency, film companies that have a cooperative relationship with Liberty Cinemas have left Liberty Cinemas, and even other owners of Liberty Cinemas have joined forces to kick DreamWorks Cinemas out of Liberty Cinemas, etc...
...
When he arrived at DreamWorks, Xu Cun first asked the accounting department to calculate the box office of DreamWorks films in various regions in the past few years, and then held a DreamWorks management meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Cun got straight to the point: "Over the past five years, the box office results achieved by DreamWorks around the world are as follows:
First, the total box office in North America: US$1.08 billion.
Second, Central and South America and Europe, total box office: 710 million US dollars.
Third, the total box office in Japan: 470 million US dollars.
Fourth, the Nanyang region, total box office: 250 million US dollars.
Fifth, Xiangjiang Benbu, total box office: 95 million US dollars.
Sixth, Taiwan Bend area, total box office: $71 million.
Seventh, South Korea, total box office: 12 million US dollars.
From this data, it is not difficult to see that even if DreamWorks really loses the Taiwanese market, it will not cause too much loss to DreamWorks, so I, Xu Cun, am not at all afraid of the Taiwanese authorities banning DreamWorks!
Of course, I really don't want to lose the Taiwan Bend market, because there are many lovely audiences who support me.
but--
Although I don't want to lose the market in Taiwan, and the lovely audience in Taiwan, but I don't want to lose the backbone of a middle-G person!
Taiwan, Xiangjiang, including Macau, have been the territory of China G since ancient times. As a person of China G, I hope from the bottom of my heart that they will all return to the embrace of China G, and I am willing to do my best to help them return .
This will of mine will never be changed by any difficulty! "
As soon as Xu Cun finished speaking, the expressions of several people who had prejudice against the mainland immediately became ugly. Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan, who were the director and deputy director of the third screenwriting team of DreamWorks at that time, even got up and left the conference hall!
Xu Cun remembered the people with ugly faces one by one, then glanced at Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan who slammed the door, and then said: "I announce a few things:
The first thing is that I have reached a consensus with the Jiang brothers of Anle Cinemas—no matter what happens, Anle Cinemas will advance and retreat with DreamWorks Cinemas.
The second thing is that I have reached a consensus with Mr. Liao of Yindu that DreamWorks Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas will form a strategic partnership and serve as backup cinemas for each other.
The third thing, I decided to expand the scale of DreamWorks theaters, Feiran, please pay attention to suitable theaters and cinemas.
The fourth thing is to strengthen the resource management of DreamWorks - including theater chain resources, distribution channel resources, film studio resources, artist resources, directors and other behind-the-scenes personnel resources, equipment resources and other resources related to movies.
The fifth thing is to review the qualifications of film companies that have a cooperative relationship with DreamWorks. Film companies that do not meet the cooperation standards will not be provided with any resources.
(At present, more than half of the film companies in Xiangjiang (including Golden Harvest Film Company, New Arts City Film Company, and Yongsheng Film Company) must rely on various resources of DreamWorks to operate. Therefore, as long as DreamWorks specifically blocks a certain film company, So for that film company, it is definitely more terrible than the Taiwanese authorities banning it. The fourth and fifth things Xu Cun announced is to warn those film companies that rely on DreamWorks to survive to do wrong things!)
The sixth thing is that any company that wants to develop is inseparable from one mind and unity. In the near future, I plan to give out 5% of the shares of DreamWorks Records Group, DreamWorks Brokerage Company, DreamWorks Video Game Company, and DreamWorks Toy Company in the form of internal voluntary subscription to the personnel of all companies under my name. Congratulations, you have the opportunity to be your own boss. A friendly reminder to everyone, I will let these companies go public one by one in the future.
The seventh thing, I don't like people who can share wealth but not share adversity! I declare: Anyone who has left DreamWorks in the near future, no matter if they are managers, artists, or behind-the-scenes personnel such as directors, DreamWorks will not have any cooperation with the films and film companies in which they participated! "
After Xu Cun announced the first five things, most of the people present listened respectfully because the matter had nothing to do with him. Of course, a few people were thinking whether they should leave directly like Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan.
After Xu Cun announced the sixth matter, many people immediately wanted to discuss a few words with excitement, but they endured it because Xu Cun was still talking—with the development momentum of DreamWorks and Xu Cun’s past creation According to various legends, most of the people present believe that the internal subscription of the shares of several branches of DreamWorks will definitely make money, and it is very likely to make a lot of money. Taking a step back, even if these branches of DreamWorks cannot be listed, after the internal subscription, they can also pay dividends, which is much better than working honestly all the time, not to mention that Xu Cun also clearly stated that these companies will be in the future. To be listed.
When Xu Cun finished announcing the seventh matter, several people with other ambitions broke out in a cold sweat—with the resources at the disposal of DreamWorks, if Xu Cun did what he said, then the people who were blocked by DreamWorks must be in Xiangjiang. I can't get along in the movie circle anymore, and I can only choose to go to Taiwan or change careers!
actually--
Xu Cun doesn't want to pay attention to people with other ambitions, but Xu Cun can't let these people bring out a bad trend, which will cause greater losses to DreamWorks, so Xu Cun uses the method of sticks and carrots to temporarily kill these people. Hold it down—wait for the limelight to pass, and then kick these people out of DreamWorks one by one.
Xu Cun knew that most of the people present wanted to discuss the few things he just announced, and Xu Cun also had some things to deal with, so Xu Cun said to Hu Huizhong: "Huizhong, summarize what I said, and then Hold a press conference for me as I wish."
After speaking, Xu Cun stood up and said, "The meeting is over!"
