"In recent years, the TV industry will enter a period of vigorous development as provincial TV stations in the mainland of China have been launched. This is the best opportunity for the rise of the brocade and calligraphy department. After all, the threshold of China's domestic television field is far lower than that of film, and the demand is far beyond it. However, other capital will certainly not miss this opportunity. If the brocade book department wants to stand out, it needs to have enough competitiveness. What should be the core competitiveness of Jin Shu Department? In my opinion, the key is the professionalization of film and television projects from incubation, production to marketing and distribution, so as to form a mature industrial chain. "
"Remember, this is business."
"If you want to succeed in any business, the core is high-quality products. However, in addition to ensuring that the products are excellent enough, you also need to reduce the cost as much as possible in the production link and make a name as much as possible in the marketing link, with the ultimate goal of getting more profits."
"Maybe you are thinking, how can I teach you more than these broad concepts?"
"Of course I know what to do, because I've come up from the bottom step by step. Even though the film and television entertainment environment in the United States is quite different from that in China, it is inevitable that since it is a business, it will come to the same end in different ways. But I don't have time to teach you. I just want the results. "
"If you have a heart, you can learn the operation methods of any professional field from your current position, the resources available to the westero system. Again, I just look at the results. Well done, I will give you enough return, which is certainly more than you think. Because of various regulations in China, most enterprises of Jinshu department and westrow system can not hold too much shares. I hope that more of these shares will be taken away by the people who do specific things. Of course, if we can't do it well, we still have nothing. I'm a person who highly values giving to get something in return. "
In the study of the West Lake mansion.
Simon didn't have time to get in touch. He basically went straight to the point and communicated with several senior members of the brocade book department. Many of them were Simon's words.
So at the end, Simon looked through a document that Lin Su had sent in before, and then said, "the last thing, about the eight dragons.". This is a novel I like very much. In fact, I like most of Mr. Jin Yong's works very much. Therefore, outside of business, I hope this project can be done as my personal hobby? To make a real artwork. It happens that this project is a tripartite cooperation between TVB of Hong Kong and CCTV of the mainland. Therefore, it can not be regarded as a pure business, but has more special significance. Therefore, to do the best is not in conflict with my hope. "
"Since it's my personal hobby, how many resources can CCTV and TVB provide? For the moment, I will give a budget of 15 million US dollars."
When Simon said this, Wu Shanlin and Luo Chen, who were sitting on the sofa opposite, were a little surprised.
15 million US dollars? Converted to 120 million RMB.
"Tianlong Babu" is expected to be about 40 episodes. The "outlaws of the marsh", which is being produced by CCTV in recent years, can be called a national drama. The budget is less than 60 million yuan. What's more, the $15 million that our boss just said is just the contribution of the Jinshu family, and the resources that CCTV and TVB can give are not included.
It's obvious that the boss doesn't intend to recover the cost.
Simon then gave a few people some time to digest and handed the document to Wu Shanlin. He continued: "so, there's no need to worry about the production? It's OK to finish Chengdu in two to three years? Just like the four famous works produced by CCTV, choose the best actor and the best backstage team. Finally, there is this? I personally donate an additional set of digital cameras and the corresponding post equipment. The core is the latest digital camera developed by Sony, with 1920 * 1080 movie resolution. Oh, actually, it's less than 800 pixels in the vertical direction, which needs to be compensated by the camera and other hardware, but it's also far beyond the 640 * 420 picture quality standard of current TV series shooting. You're going to find the right team as soon as possible to practice mastering the equipment. "
Simon's biggest regret for all kinds of famous epics and later CCTV Jinyong series is the quality of his pictures. All kinds of beautiful and tough scenes with good mountains, good water and good scenery are greatly reduced because of the rough painting quality.
Especially CCTV's Jinyong series.
If Zhang was able to shoot with film quality in those days, there would be no room for all kinds of "gorgeous women" to work as demons. They would hang and beat each time.
Therefore, what Simon wants this time is to reach the goal in one step.
By using CCTV, we can mobilize the huge resources of the whole country, the mature professional production team in Hong Kong and the rich funds of the brocade book department, and achieve the ultimate goal at one time. There was no Jinyong drama before, and no Jinyong drama after.
To achieve this goal, the first is the quality of the picture.
The first 1080p film grade digital camera was born in 2000. It was mainly developed by Sony for the shooting of Star Wars at the request of George Lucas. In fact, the major electronics giants have accumulated enough technology for a long time. This time, tincobail's i-cam series was a great success, which stimulated the rapid development of digital camera technology in advance. With the increase of investment from various electronic giants, Sony has launched a 1080p professional digital camera with 2 megapixel level three years in advance.Of course, the image quality of Sony's camera is still far behind that of film, and the actual pixel is less than 1080p, so we need to go through some technical processing to get the corresponding effect. But this is an absolute leap forward for the current general 420p TV shooting.
Although TV broadcasting in this era must be compressed, shooting with 1080p image quality will not be out of date even after 20 or 30 years. This is also the fundamental premise for Simon to achieve "one step in place".
In order to achieve this goal, Simon donated three sets of Sony's latest digital cameras, together with all kinds of supporting lenses and storage accessories, as well as the corresponding post production equipment. The total value of these three sets of cameras is US $1.8 million, equivalent to nearly RMB 15 million, which is enough to shoot two or three low-cost TV dramas in China at this time.
Let a few people from the opposite side gather together to check the list of equipment that will be shipped to China in the near future. Simon asked: "by the way, CCTV, have you contacted Zhang? How can he reply?"
Here's a mustache, of course.
At this time, Zhang is still in the system, and he is now the chief producer of outlaws of the marsh.
Fortunately, the shooting of "Water Margin" has come to an end. The most important thing for CCTV is the producer. He invited the other party to come in advance. As long as he is not stupid, he will know that the significance of this job is no less than that of "Water Margin".
Simon still hopes that Zhang Dahu will be at the helm of Tianlong Babu and the subsequent Jinyong series.
Simon used to find it hard to understand the outside world's criticism or even abuse of Zhang's golden Yong series. At that time, whether he was an insider or an ordinary audience, Simon thought that Zhang's golden Yong series was absolutely the best version, and there was no one. As for the praise of the Hong Kong version of the 1990s, it's not aesthetic, it's just feelings.
Just like some unofficial allusions that Zhu Yuanzhang never forgot about the bowl of "jade and white jade soup" before he made his fortune, some of them became classics because of the lack of film and television content at that time.
Wu Shanlin heard Simon ask about Zhang's big beard, and even said: "Zhang has agreed, boss. We have been meeting for a long time, and he is very looking forward to meeting with the boss, but he didn't get the invitation this time."
"Just promise. Let it go this time. I'll have a chance later. In addition, if the other party is willing, you can pull him into Jinshu media. "
Wu Shanlin said: "in fact, Zhang already has this intention. Boss, in this case, I will talk about it with the other party when I go back?"
"Yes."
So until more than ten o'clock in the morning, the people who should have met had already met. Simon officially set out to leave China. Lin Su stayed and expected to spend the Lantern Festival with his family before returning to North America.
After the Boeing 767 took off, Simon began to learn about another thing in the cabin office.
Or the westerlow effect.
It's another coincidence. On February 4, the day after Simon's arrival in China, Hanbao iron and steel company, the 14th largest steel giant in South Korea, suddenly declared bankruptcy. The stock market in South Korea plummeted immediately, and then spread to Japan, Singapore and other countries, resulting in the shock and fall of the stock market in Southeast Asia.
The main reason for the collapse of Hanbao steel and even Hanbao chaebol, which controls more enterprises behind the scenes, is debt.
For its own rapid expansion, Hanbao iron and steel company in recent years, with only 2% of its own funds, has madly promoted the construction of a ten million ton steel plant. The other 98% of the funds come from various banks, insurance and other financial institutions inside and outside Korea. Let's not say how many of them violate the rules. After all, the slightly normal financial institutions should not provide a company with 50 times leverage As a result, the capital chain of Hanbao steel broke, which led to the collapse of the whole Hanbao chaebol.
These days, South Korea is also celebrating the new year, but the South Korean government is in a mess.
In order to avoid the chain reaction caused by the collapse of Hanbao chaebol with a total debt of more than 5.5 trillion (about 7 billion US dollars), the South Korean government has to provide an emergency rescue fund of 1 trillion won (about 1.2 billion US dollars) to make up for the financial loopholes of Hanbao chaebol, so as to avoid systemic financial risks in the South Korean economy.
The wind blows green duckweed.
The economic boom in Southeast Asia since the 1980s has inevitably led to over investment in all walks of life. These investments not only consume the wealth brought by the economic growth of the country, but also make the investors borrow from the international market, and then consume the income brought by the seemingly booming export business.
All of these eventually lead to a huge debt problem in the whole Southeast Asia.
Debt needs to be paid in the end.
As a result, the first is bankruptcy. After enterprise bankruptcy, if the lack of remedy leads to a huge amount of debt can not be paid off, it will affect banks and other financial institutions capital chain problems, and even go bankrupt.
If the real industry is an organ, financial institutions are the blood connecting a country's economy.
Single organ problems, as long as timely repair, or even resection, are not necessarily life-threatening. However, once the blood vessels completely collapse, it will be difficult to survive.
This time, the South Korean government limited the negative impact of the Hanbao iron and steel incident to the financial institutions, that is, the blood of a country, before the impact.However, once the scale of debt is too large, even the government can't save it. As a result, a large area of financial institutions will go bankrupt, the impact will be transmitted overseas, and a large number of international debts can't be paid off. The rating agencies will lower a country's credit rating and trigger the bond sell-off. If someone cooperates with the sell-off at this time, the currency of a country will be greatly devalued, and the national wealth will evaporate out of thin air Loose.
This is the economic crisis.
In fact, it's not just South Korea. Thailand, once the breakout point of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, has begun to have small-scale debt defaults in recent months. It's only because the scale is far less than that of Hanbao steel that it has not attracted much attention.
During the flight of more than ten hours, Simon read a thick pile of analysis data about the economic situation of Southeast Asia, but did nothing.
For the time being, I'm still on the sidelines.
Three billion dollars has been lost to Soros, and cersei capital has its own layout. When the general direction is right, Simon is too lazy to go into the details.
This time, Simon's main target is South Korea.
In fact, Japan is more attractive.
However, on the one hand, Japan's size is too large to eat. On the other hand, Japan's economy is far less open than the outside world imagined, or even quite closed, which is hard to chew.
South Korea is different.
After the coming crisis, South Korea's economy will be forced to open the door to the world. Moreover, South Korea's current GDP of about $600 billion is also within the appetite of the westero system.
The most important point is that, compared with other Southeast Asian countries, South Korea has many industries that Simon is very interested in, including electronics and entertainment. After the investigation and research in recent months, combined with the information in memory, there are two more specific ones, shipbuilding and construction.
Now South Korea has reached the world's top level in shipbuilding and construction. The key is that it has considerable cost advantage. The future return of investment in these two industries is considerable.
As for the field of electronics, this is a fairly broad concept.
Simon hopes to cut off the whole industry chain development of South Korea in the electronic field through the manipulation of westero system, and only serve as the parts supplier of legitimate electronic giants such as Nokia and tincobail of westero system.
At this point, apple used to be a tiger.
Simon certainly won't make that mistake again.
Samsung, for example, can only choose one of semiconductor and LCD this time. Even in the semiconductor industry, Samsung can only choose one link, and will not let it develop in an all-round way.
In the end, the entertainment industry is under overall pressure, including music, film and television, and games.
It's Simon's most familiar area, after all.
What's more, Simon needs a bridgehead of entertainment industry in Greater China. It takes time for China to grow up. Japan is still too closed, and South Korea is just right. Control of audio-visual entertainment, on the one hand, is pacifier, on the other hand, is public opinion. As for occasionally playing with thighs and so on, it's just by the way.

Oh, actually, it's less than 800 pixels in the vertical direction, which needs to be compensated by the camera and other hardware, but it's also far beyond the 640 * 420 picture quality standard of current TV series shooting. You're going to find the right team as soon as possible to practice mastering the equipment. " Simon's biggest regret for all kinds of famous epics and later CCTV Jinyong series is the quality of his pictures. All kinds of beautiful and tough scenes with good mountains, good water and good scenery are greatly reduced because of the rough painting quality. Especially CCTV's Jinyong series. If Zhang was able to shoot with film quality in those days, there would be no room for all kinds of "gorgeous women" to work as demons. They would hang and beat each time. Therefore, what Simon wants this time is to reach the goal in one step. By using CCTV, we can mobilize the huge resources of the whole country, the mature professional production team in Hong Kong and the rich funds of the brocade book department, and achieve the ultimate goal at one time. There was no Jinyong drama before, and no Jinyong drama after. To achieve this goal, the first is the quality of the picture. The first 1080p film grade digital camera was born in 2000. It was mainly developed by Sony for the shooting of Star Wars at the request of George Lucas. In fact, the major electronics giants have accumulated enough technology for a long time. This time, tincobail's i-cam series was a great success, which stimulated the rapid development of digital camera technology in advance. With the increase of investment from various electronic giants, Sony has launched a 1080p professional digital camera with 2 megapixel level three years in advance.Of course, the image quality of Sony's camera is still far behind that of film, and the actual pixel is less than 1080p, so we need to go through some technical processing to get the corresponding effect. But this is an absolute leap forward for the current general 420p TV shooting. Although TV broadcasting in this era must be compressed, shooting with 1080p image quality will not be out of date even after 20 or 30 years. This is also the fundamental premise for Simon to achieve "one step in place". In order to achieve this goal, Simon donated three sets of Sony's latest digital cameras, together with all kinds of supporting lenses and storage accessories, as well as the corresponding post production equipment. The total value of these three sets of cameras is US $1.8 million, equivalent to nearly RMB 15 million, which is enough to shoot two or three low-cost TV dramas in China at this time. Let a few people from the opposite side gather together to check the list of equipment that will be shipped to China in the near future. Simon asked: "by the way, CCTV, have you contacted Zhang? How can he reply?" Here's a mustache, of course. At this time, Zhang is still in the system, and he is now the chief producer of outlaws of the marsh. Fortunately, the shooting of "Water Margin" has come to an end. The most important thing for CCTV is the producer. He invited the other party to come in advance. As long as he is not stupid, he will know that the significance of this job is no less than that of "Water Margin". Simon still hopes that Zhang Dahu will be at the helm of Tianlong Babu and the subsequent Jinyong series. Simon used to find it hard to understand the outside world's criticism or even abuse of Zhang's golden Yong series. At that time, whether he was an insider or an ordinary audience, Simon thought that Zhang's golden Yong series was absolutely the best version, and there was no one. As for the praise of the Hong Kong version of the 1990s, it's not aesthetic, it's just feelings. Just like some unofficial allusions that Zhu Yuanzhang never forgot about the bowl of "jade and white jade soup" before he made his fortune, some of them became classics because of the lack of film and television content at that time. Wu Shanlin heard Simon ask about Zhang's big beard, and even said: "Zhang has agreed, boss. We have been meeting for a long time, and he is very looking forward to meeting with the boss, but he didn't get the invitation this time." "Just promise. Let it go this time. I'll have a chance later. In addition, if the other party is willing, you can pull him into Jinshu media. " Wu Shanlin said: "in fact, Zhang already has this intention. Boss, in this case, I will talk about it with the other party when I go back?" "Yes." So until more than ten o'clock in the morning, the people who should have met had already met. Simon officially set out to leave China. Lin Su stayed and expected to spend the Lantern Festival with his family before returning to North America. After the Boeing 767 took off, Simon began to learn about another thing in the cabin office. Or the westerlow effect. It's another coincidence. On February 4, the day after Simon's arrival in China, Hanbao iron and steel company, the 14th largest steel giant in South Korea, suddenly declared bankruptcy. The stock market in South Korea plummeted immediately, and then spread to Japan, Singapore and other countries, resulting in the shock and fall of the stock market in Southeast Asia. The main reason for the collapse of Hanbao steel and even Hanbao chaebol, which controls more enterprises behind the scenes, is debt. For its own rapid expansion, Hanbao iron and steel company in recent years, with only 2% of its own funds, has madly promoted the construction of a ten million ton steel plant. The other 98% of the funds come from various banks, insurance and other financial institutions inside and outside Korea. Let's not say how many of them violate the rules. After all, the slightly normal financial institutions should not provide a company with 50 times leverage As a result, the capital chain of Hanbao steel broke, which led to the collapse of the whole Hanbao chaebol. These days, South Korea is also celebrating the new year, but the South Korean government is in a mess. In order to avoid the chain reaction caused by the collapse of Hanbao chaebol with a total debt of more than 5.5 trillion about 7 billion US dollars, the South Korean government has to provide an emergency rescue fund of 1 trillion won about 1.2 billion US dollars to make up for the financial loopholes of Hanbao chaebol, so as to avoid systemic financial risks in the South Korean economy. The wind blows green duckweed. The economic boom in Southeast Asia since the 1980s has inevitably led to over investment in all walks of life. These investments not only consume the wealth brought by the economic growth of the country, but also make the investors borrow from the international market, and then consume the income brought by the seemingly booming export business. All of these eventually lead to a huge debt problem in the whole Southeast Asia. Debt needs to be paid in the end. As a result, the first is bankruptcy. After enterprise bankruptcy, if the lack of remedy leads to a huge amount of debt can not be paid off, it will affect banks and other financial institutions capital chain problems, and even go bankrupt. If the real industry is an organ, financial institutions are the blood connecting a country's economy. Single organ problems, as long as timely repair, or even resection, are not necessarily life-threatening. However, once the blood vessels completely collapse, it will be difficult to survive. This time, the South Korean government limited the negative impact of the Hanbao iron and steel incident to the financial institutions, that is, the blood of a country, before the impact.However, once the scale of debt is too large, even the government can't save it. As a result, a large area of financial institutions will go bankrupt, the impact will be transmitted overseas, and a large number of international debts can't be paid off. The rating agencies will lower a country's credit rating and trigger the bond sell-off. If someone cooperates with the sell-off at this time, the currency of a country will be greatly devalued, and the national wealth will evaporate out of thin air Loose. This is the economic crisis. In fact, it's not just South Korea. Thailand, once the breakout point of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, has begun to have small-scale debt defaults in recent months. It's only because the scale is far less than that of Hanbao steel that it has not attracted much attention. During the flight of more than ten hours, Simon read a thick pile of analysis data about the economic situation of Southeast Asia, but did nothing. For the time being, I'm still on the sidelines. Three billion dollars has been lost to Soros, and cersei capital has its own layout. When the general direction is right, Simon is too lazy to go into the details. This time, Simon's main target is South Korea. In fact, Japan is more attractive. However, on the one hand, Japan's size is too large to eat. On the other hand, Japan's economy is far less open than the outside world imagined, or even quite closed, which is hard to chew. South Korea is different. After the coming crisis, South Korea's economy will be forced to open the door to the world. Moreover, South Korea's current GDP of about $600 billion is also within the appetite of the westero system. The most important point is that, compared with other Southeast Asian countries, South Korea has many industries that Simon is very interested in, including electronics and entertainment. After the investigation and research in recent months, combined with the information in memory, there are two more specific ones, shipbuilding and construction. Now South Korea has reached the world's top level in shipbuilding and construction. The key is that it has considerable cost advantage. The future return of investment in these two industries is considerable. As for the field of electronics, this is a fairly broad concept. Simon hopes to cut off the whole industry chain development of South Korea in the electronic field through the manipulation of westero system, and only serve as the parts supplier of legitimate electronic giants such as Nokia and tincobail of westero system. At this point, apple used to be a tiger. Simon certainly won't make that mistake again. Samsung, for example, can only choose one of semiconductor and LCD this time. Even in the semiconductor industry, Samsung can only choose one link, and will not let it develop in an all-round way. In the end, the entertainment industry is under overall pressure, including music, film and television, and games. It's Simon's most familiar area, after all. What's more, Simon needs a bridgehead of entertainment industry in Greater China. It takes time for China to grow up. Japan is still too closed, and South Korea is just right. Control of audio-visual entertainment, on the one hand, is pacifier, on the other hand, is public opinion. As for occasionally playing with thighs and so on, it's just by the way.
