Chapter 808 Opportunity
In the conference room, a group of senior executives of Haomeng Company are discussing the next work arrangements.
Every year, the New Year and Spring Festival are the busiest times for film and television companies, especially this year, Hollywood blockbusters are coming, and some are even films that have just been released in the United States.
In the past, Hollywood movies introduced to China were basically half a year ago, and there was a time difference.
Now the time difference between the release of movies in the two countries is gradually shortening, from three months to one month, and in the near future, there will be scenes of simultaneous global releases.
This is a good thing for the audience, and they can see American blockbusters at the first time.
But for film and television companies, the situation is grim, which means that American film companies attach importance to the mainland market and competition will become increasingly fierce.
Good Dream Company has no big advantage in screening this year, and cannot escape the direct confrontation with Hollywood blockbusters.
The last part of "Infernal Affairs" was released in early December, and the second part of "Little Snow's Big Adventure" was scheduled around Christmas. "Mobile" directed by Feng Xiaogang was placed in the New Year schedule.
During this period, blockbusters gathered, and no one wanted to become cannon fodder.
Cinemas are scheduled for films, promotion and distribution, advertising and investment, and the entire company is taking action and entering a state of intensive development.
"We got the advertising pages of most newspapers in Beijing, joined forces with multiple media to promote it, and invested a lot of money on the Internet to hype the topic." The head of the publicity and distribution department reported, "Several Hollywood movies and our movies overlap in schedules, but they are all films from a few months ago. There have been pirated discs in China for a long time, and the box office is probably not optimistic."
This is a very interesting thing.
Domestic film and television companies are worried about piracy, and Hollywood blockbusters will also encounter piracy in China, especially these movies have been released in the United States, Hong Kong and Japan, resulting in the spread of piracy.
This is one of the reasons why Hollywood blockbusters cannot get high box office in the country.
Of course, we cannot underestimate the influence of Hollywood movies among domestic audiences because of this. Piracy is a cancer of the film industry. Only by spared no effort to crack down on piracy can the film market be more prosperous.
"The capital is our base and must not be lost. On this basis, focus on the city around Shanghai City." Yu Dong pointed to the area in the Yangtze River Delta on the screen and emphasized, "The southern market is the focus of the company's development in the past two years. Seize the opportunity to promote our brand and make it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
The rapid development of Shanghai City has driven the economy of the entire Yangtze River Delta, and the economic takeoff has promoted the leap in the entertainment industry.
For example, a few years ago, a movie won a box office of 10 million in Beijing, but only four or five million in Shanghai, because Shanghai did not have so many theaters and audience base.
Now Shanghai City has become the economic center of the country, and its entertainment facilities are gradually being improved, so it is naturally valued.
Lin Zixuan listened to the work reports of the heads of various departments, and Yu Dong made coordination and arrangements, and was well organized. The operation of Haomeng Company became formal and each performed its duties.
After the meeting, the company's senior executives left one after another.
Yu Dong packed up the documents on the table and walked out of the conference room with Lin Zixuan. The two of them walked and chatted.
"Thank you for your hard work, it's like this every year." Lin Zixuan sighed.
"Mr. Lin, I want to talk to you about something." Yu Dong said in a deep voice.
Lin Zixuan looked at Yu Dong, nodded, came to his office, and closed the door.
"What's wrong? Are there any trouble?" Lin Zixuan said strangely.
"Mr. Lin, after finishing my work this year, I want to go out and try it out." Yu Dong said carefully.
Lin Zixuan could see that Yu Dong must have thought about it and prepared to start his own business.
Yu Dong was a man in the 1970s, about the same age as Lin Zixuan. He joined the Good Dream Company in 1996 and was mainly responsible for the promotion and distribution of movies. His annual salary, bonus and dividends exceeded one million. He bought a villa and a car in Beijing and lived a wealthy life.
Being able to achieve such achievements in your thirties can be considered a successful person.
Yu Dong has worked for Good Dream Company for six years and has witnessed the company from childhood to adulthood and becoming an internationally compatible film and television company. He has made a lot of money and gained a lot.
Should we stay and grow up with Hao Meng, build an internationally renowned film and television company, or go out to start a business and create our own film and television group.
He was hesitant for a moment.
Yu Dong is very familiar with the domestic film and television industry, and he believes that this is the best era in the film industry.
The country has relaxed policies to allow private enterprises to enter the field of film distribution and obtain distribution qualifications. This is the same as allowing private capital to invest in the film industry in 1993. It is a rare opportunity.
He is good at promoting and distributing movies. Whether at the Beijing Film Studio or the Good Dream Company, he does related work, which is a familiar area.
With the development of the mainland market, Xiangjiang movies, Asian movies and European movies all want to enter the mainland market.
He can act as an intermediary to be responsible for the distribution of these videos in the mainland, and even select videos from all over the world, using his own network of relationships to make profits from them.
Yu Dong understood that after entering the formal business of Haomeng Company, he only needed to master the general direction. With Lin Zixuan's presence, his role became smaller and smaller, and his passion for work faded little by little, losing his motivation to move forward.
Besides, he is not the boss of Haomeng Company after all, and even if he gets the dividends of shares, he is just a worker.
At Good Dream Company, he has no way to rise.
Yu Dong wanted to change, on the one hand, he had ambition, and on the other hand, he wanted to do the job he liked. So after careful consideration, he decided to leave Haomeng Company, seize the opportunity, and start a career.
"I can understand your idea, but will it be too hasty? Otherwise, if you think about it carefully or change your position, the company's overseas department has good development prospects." Lin Zixuan insisted on keeping.
"Mr. Lin, I have thought about it. If I don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid I will regret it in the future." Yu Dong insisted.
Lin Zixuan knew that the policy changes have inspired a new wave of entrepreneurship in the film and television industry, the influx of capital and the flow of talents, which is a brand new situation.
Since Yu Dong is so persistent, it will be a bit embarrassing for him to stay again.
"Do you have any recommended candidates?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"I think Qin Ming from the public relations department is good, and Mr. Lin can give him a heavier burden." Yu Dong suggested.
Haomeng Company has a complete talent training mechanism and has a self-producing function. It does not need to poach people outside. The employees of its own company are more reliable.
Will Yu Dong leave for a while? He will have to stay in the company for a few months and have enough time to hand over the work.
