Chapter 1296: Making a Decision (2)

.,!

"The two presidents have not yet handed over, and the political struggle has already begun. The recent Roh Tae-woo amnesty case is an operation to win over the SK Cui family. As you know, boss, the Cui family and Roh Tae-woo are married. On Monday, Kim Young-sam officially signed the amnesty case, boss, guess what the Blue House press release said?"

"Um?"

"It's funny when I think about it. The Blue House's announcement, the strategy that was originally discussed, for the unity of the Republic of Korea, to overcome the difficulties together, how good it is here. As a result, the Blue House said in the press release that it should be the request of President-elect Kim Dae-jung, Kim Dae-jung Yeongsan granted an amnesty to Roh Tae-woo. Hehe, Kim Dae-jung was so angry that he was put on stage before he officially came on stage, and even called me to complain about it, what can I do?"

Daenerys Studios.

The time is January 7, Wednesday afternoon.

In the office, Simon felt speechless and funny when he heard Chen Qing on the other side of the video call, but he could understand.

There is never any tenderness in political struggles.

The origin of the current ruling party in South Korea can be traced back to the period of Rhee Seungman. The 1997 presidential election can be said to be the first time that the ruling party that has been in power for half a century since the founding of South Korea lost to the opposition party in the election. control of state power.

In order to regain power after five years, the present is an opportunity to hit the prestige of President-elect Kim Dae-jung and the opposition group behind him.

After a little consideration, Simon said: "The political disputes in South Korea are good for us. As long as you have the opportunity, you should actively push them to fight each other. Don't really screw them together. This is not a good thing for us."

"I know, Boss," Chen Qing nodded, and instead of continuing the Korean topic, she said, "Over there, Boss, "My Fair Princess" has come to an end. I just got the data, Four David TV, Among them, the ratings of the last episode in Beijing reached 73%, and the lowest rating of Guangdong Satellite TV was 63%. Isn’t it amazing? By the way, the average ratings of the 26 episodes is 56%, which is simply a miracle. Boss, you have a good vision. A talent has been cultivated. And the theme songs given by the boss, this is the finishing touch."

Simon felt the somewhat sour look in the girl's tone, and asked with a smile: "I saw that there is a plan to cooperate with CCTV for a Lunar New Year broadcast?"

"Yeah, it will start broadcasting tonight, which happens to be the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve. CCTV specially conducted an advertisement to attract investment, and a Lunar New Year broadcast sold 63 million yuan. However, Jingxi is so useless, we only got 25 million. % share, 15.75 million."

Simon said: "25% is already very good. If you cooperate with CCTV, don't think about making money, just don't lose money."

Seeing that the instigation and complaint were invalid, Chen Qing stuck out her tongue and said, "Also, the broadcasting rights after the Lunar New Year broadcast have also been sold. This time, Zhejiang Satellite TV and CCTV 8 were added. The four satellite TV stations sold off the broadcasting rights for five years at one time, earning 43 million. However, the exclusive period of the six TV stations is only two years. After two years, we can sell the broadcasting rights to the second and third-tier TV stations at the city and county levels. It is uncertain how much it will be. After all calculations, the total income before tax is about 63 million, so the boss has a good vision."

Seeing that the lady on the other side put on another flattery at the end, Simon deliberately put the credit on him, just smiled, and did not reveal that the story idea of ​​"Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was a little secret provided by him like the theme song. And said: "The results are so good, is there any consideration for a sequel?"

"There must be a sequel. However, now that the leading actors have new dramas, the sequel will definitely not be available this year. We will have to wait until next year at the earliest."

"It's not in a hurry. It just so happens that this year can let the popularity of this drama ferment. And overseas, I saw that "Private Interview with Kangxi Weifu" won the ratings champion in Hong Kong. "My Fair Princess" can also follow up, and South Korea."

"We're all doing it," Chen Qing nodded, then laughed again, and said, "About "Kangxi", boss, have you noticed that in Hong Kong, it's Asian TV, not "Tian Long Ba Bu" that we collaborated with?" TVB?"

"Well, what's going on?"

"tvb is too stingy, even more stingy than Ren Jingxi. The boss told us at the beginning that we must not sell the copyright of our series cheaply, so we didn't talk about it. Later, the price offered by ATV was very objective, so I gave it to them. Then TVB lost an annual ratings crown."

Simon didn't care too much, and explained again: "For overseas cooperation, it's good for Jinshu to talk about business in business, and it's not CCTV over there."

"Um."

After saying this, Simon asked again: "How about "Love Call Transfer"?"

It’s Wednesday afternoon in North America, and it’s already Thursday morning on January 8th in Asia. “Love Call Transfer” will be released on January 1st, exactly one week.

Seeing Simon's question, Chen Qing made a fool of himself: "Guess how much is the boss?"

Simon guessed: "There should be 30 million. China has already connected to the Internet. This time, hundreds of people were sent to escort copies to prevent piracy. If it is less than 30 million, it has failed."

"The boss's request is so low," Chen Qing said, shaking five fingers up, then raised the other hand with a smile, and added two: "71 million in seven days, it shows China's box office potential It’s really big. Of course, it’s incomparable to Hollywood’s "Titanic", but it’s already very powerful. The official sees the benefits of theater chain reform and piracy prevention, and will definitely price related policies in the future. Also There are two theme songs, "Watch Me 1997" and "Love Transfer", which are now playing in the streets and alleys of China. By the way, next time there

It will be announced on the weekend of this weekend that Hollywood will buy the film copyright, which will definitely stimulate the market again. According to Jinshu's analysis, in the month of the end of the year, because there are no other competitors, the film's box office may reach 200 million. "

"Two hundred million is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

"China has a population of 1.2 billion. What's more, the idea given by the boss is so good. It's normal to have a box office of 200 million."

Simon thought about it too, nodded slightly, and turned back to the topic: "Let's continue talking about Korea."

Chen Qing did not return to South Korea immediately, and then said: "Boss, can you come to China again this Spring Festival?"

Simon said: "Going is also going to Hangzhou."

Chen Qing didn't mind at all: "As long as I can come, I'll go to Hangzhou to work as a maid for the boss. By the way, A Su said that a puppy would call mommy. Boss, come here and teach him how to call daddy."

Simon smiled and said, "It has already been taught."

Lin Su's child was the last of several little ones born this year. He is only four months old now, but Guo can already simply call out words such as father and mother, which is obviously earlier than ordinary children, proving once again that the Westeros family is strong. The little ones are very smart and precocious.

Chen Qing's eyes widened immediately, and when she understood, her expression was resentful, as if she was accusing her man of stealing food behind her back: "Boss, I want to have a baby too."

"After giving birth, can you calm down and raise her like A Su?"

"cannot."

"Then get down to business."

Chen Qing pouted, lowered her head slightly and operated the computer: "Boss, I'll give you a website address."

Simon was puzzled. He held the mouse and opened the URL in the text dialog box. The browser opened, and a page full of pictures of beauties appeared, and it was obvious at a glance that they were all Korean beauties.

Chen Qing, who shrank the video frame to a corner of the screen, said again: "Boss, these are the girls who have recently signed a contract with Korea. You can take a moment to enjoy it. By the way, SK Entertainment has also cooperated with Elite to open a model agency department. For a selection, does the boss have any requirements?"

Simon shook his head: "No, you can choose."

Chen Qing was puzzled for a while, and then smiled again: "Boss, are you not interested in women?"

"It's a bit of a tendency, you have to be careful."

"Hehe, I don't need it. I'm the boss's right-hand man, followed by a woman."

"Well, self-awareness is very clear."

"That's it," Chen Qing complied complacently. Seeing that Simon really didn't look too interested, she stopped talking nonsense and turned to talk about South Korea's affairs: "About launching a donation campaign in South Korea, this Bian is ready. Next week, Hyundai, Samsung and SK will call on the employees first, and then Kim Dae-jung will follow up. However, boss, I still think that this matter has advantages and disadvantages, and it can divert the attention of Koreans. Attention, this is indeed one aspect, but on the other hand, it will definitely increase the cohesion of the Koreans, the boss just said that the Koreans should not be too united."

"What I just said is that South Korea's political circles cannot be too united."

"Is it different?"

"Of course it's different," Simon said. "The main purpose of launching this donation campaign is to give Koreans a sense of spiritual satisfaction and prevent them from paying too much attention to the economy that continues to decline. I talked to you before As I said, we take away the material goods of Koreans and leave them enough spiritual satisfaction."

Of course, Chen Qing remembered Simon's previous arguments. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't raise any objections: "Then I will do what the boss said. In addition... well, Daewoo Group bought two decommissioned aircraft carriers from Ukraine in 1995. Years ago, they announced their own aircraft carrier plan. However, due to the economic crisis, the South Korean authorities have recently decided to cut this plan and dispose of the two aircraft carriers as scrap iron. Then, news came from the country, hoping to take over.”

Simon waited for Chen Qing to finish speaking, and shook his head directly: "I said, we will not participate in this kind of thing, nor will we obstruct it."

"That's it," Chen Qing lowered her head and marked on her memo, and then said: "Also, about Samsung Motors. The boss introduced a batch of British capital last time. Regarding the cooperation between the three companies' electronics and communication businesses, Of the 2 billion U.S. dollars of British capital, 1 billion U.S. dollars were invested in a sub-fund of Apollo Management Company, and there was 1 billion U.S. dollars left. Recently, they suddenly contacted me, to the effect that they wanted to get rid of our side and work independently Cooperate with Samsung Motors. Moreover, Li Jianxi has recently negotiated with two capitals from France and Singapore. The purpose is obviously to reduce our participation as much as possible. Boss, what should we do?"

"Then reduce participation, you know my attitude towards the auto industry."

"The problem is, when Li Jianxi introduced the cooperation, he still used our name. Is this taking advantage?"

Pay attention to the official account

"We have already got what we want, and we can't let others take advantage of it," Simon said: "For Samsung Motors, Lee Kun-hee can do whatever he wants. We just need to cooperate to ensure that Samsung takes over Kia and takes the initiative." Don't fight at all."

Chen Qing hesitated a little, and said: "Boss, in China, I mean Suzhou, if they want to introduce Samsung Motors to invest and build a factory, will we not intervene? Boss, you also said that you are very optimistic about China's traditional automobile industry?"

"Is there any car brand in Suzhou?"

"No," Chen Qing said, "So I don't think Samsung should be allowed to enter. This is a blue ocean. How about we develop it ourselves?"

"For domestic cars in China, I am more optimistic about Zhejiang. Since Suzhou has no foundation, Samsung

If you want to enter, let it enter. "

Seeing Simon's decision, Chen Qing could only write it down again, and then started another topic: "Regarding movies, the boss wants to produce 30 movies a year to achieve the effect of occupying the market through dumping, but I think movies are a It is a very special industry. It is not easy to maintain a long-term advantage once it occupies the market like other physical commodities. On the contrary, even if we achieve a short-term advantage through dumping, as long as other film companies produce high-quality movies, the audience will still turn to it. , so it is difficult to achieve the goal of monopolizing the market.”

"Not just movies, but theater chains and TVs, including videotapes and DVD retail networks. These platforms are also the targets we will focus on in the next step. If we master the platform, even if we can't achieve a 100% monopoly, we must be 70% to 80% sure. It's no problem."

"This is the problem," Chen Qing said, "Boss, I think the strategy of monopolizing the platform is correct. Just like the American film industry structure before the 1948 Paramount Act in Hollywood, monopolizing all channels, then, whether it is Good or bad movies, we can sell them, and the audience can only accept them. So, we just need to focus on the monopoly platform, and there is no need to make so many movies in one go, is there?"

"Platforms and content are complementary and indispensable. Just like Hollywood, Daenerys has an absolute strong position in content, so she will not be constrained by any platform. In Korea, if you ignore content, you can Make sure there won’t be a Korean Daenerys Entertainment show up and blackmail the platform with content?”

"There is no Paramount Act in South Korea. We just need to completely monopolize the platform?"

Simon said: "Of course, we need to ensure that there will be no Paramount Act in South Korea. In addition, the next class solidification in South Korea will be very rapid, and when it is extended, it will be industrial solidification. It is difficult to change the structure of related industries if it is fixed. I Let South Korea produce 30 films a year, which is to fix the structure of the content industry. Of course, if we do both, the structure of the platform industry will also be fixed, and no one will be given any chance. In short, you follow what I said. Just do it."

Chen Qing said, "But, with 30 movies, it's hard to guarantee the quality?"

Simon's tone is unquestionable: "Many people in South Korea will lose their jobs in the future, which also means that Korean film and television practitioners will attach great importance to their work. Therefore, the problem is very simple. Tell them, whether it is a problem of ability or attitude, I will do it. Not good, then wait to lose your job."
