cooperate?

Li Lin took a sip of mineral water, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Strategic cooperation."

Short words have great power.

Strategic cooperation, this is not to say, the strategic cooperation between the two companies will inevitably have a series of alliances, and to the outside world, this is also a bomb that stirs the situation.

"The EMI headquarters?" Li Lin asked tentatively.

"Greater China."

Joseph gave the answer.

Li Lin suddenly lost interest.

EMI is a global record company, it has branches all over the world, if the entire EMI cooperates with him, he would be very interested.

In the future, he may be able to promote himself to Europe and the United States by virtue of the channel of EMI Records.

Although he is now very famous in China, in Korea, in Japan, and throughout East Asia, for Europe and the United States, he is just a famous pianist. One year is enough to make them forget that there was a person. Give them amazing piano music.

But if it was only EMI Greater China, he would lose interest.

He has all the channels that should be available in Greater China, and he does not need EMI to help himself.

"Although EMI Greater China is only a subsidiary of EMI, please trust us. We have been in China for decades and have accumulated countless contacts. We can give you great help."

"Sorry, I am not interested in strategic cooperation." Li Lin refused Joseph without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li." Joseph was not surprised by Li Lin's refusal. "As long as you agree, the musician resources of EMI Records will be fully open to you."

"And we will also apply for EMI headquarters to share resources with you within certain limits."

"You only need to cooperate with us in your channels."

After all, isn’t it for the channel? Li Lin said in his heart that he was not interested in Joseph's cooperation at all.

The sharing of musicians' resources sounds pretty good, but you have to know that the quality of the songs created by musicians is high or low. The high ones will definitely fall into the hands of EMI, and the low ones are the real sharing.

And the other one applies for global resource sharing, just one application, will they agree to something that is not a word of their own?

If you don't pay anything, you just want to get the channel from him. People in EMI are too naive to think.

"Not interested." Li Lin took a sip of mineral water. He checked his watch and said, "If President Joseph has nothing else to do, please leave. I still need to meet with other companies."

"Who?" Joseph asked curiously.

"global."

Li Lin didn't hide it, "People from Universal met me yesterday, but I didn't have time at that time. That's why it was postponed until today."

Afterwards, Li Lin said casually, "I really don't know why people from Universal are looking for me in such a hurry."

in a hurry?

Joseph glanced at Li Lin, the doubt between his eyebrows became thicker, he could not tell whether Li Lin's words were accidental or deliberate.

Suddenly, Joseph's heart moved, regardless of whether Li Lin accidentally or deliberately. It is a fact that EMI wants to cooperate with Li Lin. The difference lies in what EMI needs to pay.

"I heard that Mr. Li wants to build a cinema chain?" Joseph suddenly said, "Doesn't Mr. Li know what cinema chain means to a film and television company?"

"What does it mean?" Li Lin looked at Joseph quietly.

The news that he wants to build the theater line is naturally unavoidable. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, the artists inside the company, since they have caught the ears of others, they will certainly not be able to stop others' mouths.

For some well-informed people, this is not difficult to inquire.

In fact, he also used this opportunity to test the reactions of major theaters. In order to adjust his strategy, if the reaction is not fierce, he will build it slowly, cooperating and building at the same time.

If the reaction is fierce, he will do it in one step, create the established facts, and then confront them, and strive to cooperate after the confrontation.

No theater can exist alone for a long time.

No matter which country you are in, joint screening is inevitable across the board. The confrontation between theaters and theaters must not involve the film, at least not for a long time.

Over time, the top will be pressed down, and the producer will get angry.

For the producer. The more theaters the movie is shown, the better. It is best if thousands of theaters are shown together, and a single theater line can't eat thousands of theaters, so joint screening is inevitable.

Like a supermarket chain, BBK and Wanli Department Store are rivals, but both have Master Kong instant noodles. No supermarket dares to say to Master Tang Group: Your goods can only be supplied to me, not to each other.

Of course, if BBK tells Master Kong: Your goods cannot be supplied to the commissary of a certain school, the nature is different.

What Li Lin has to do is to turn himself into a supermarket of the level of Wanli Department Store, rather than a cinema network of the level of the commissary of a certain school.

He wants to make those theaters formalize his own existence, and dare not suppress himself like he suppressed Wanda.

"It means huge benefits and risks." Joseph said lightly, "In China, there is no anti-monopoly law. Cinemas and producers can be merged into one company, and China's producers have a very low split. The cinema line occupies more than 60% of the movie box office, even if it is divided by the big directors, the cinema line still occupies more than 50%."

"It can be said that in China, the producers work for the theaters."

Li Lin knew that what Joseph said was true, and that the division of directors and directors is indeed different.

In China, a movie's box office producer, distributor, theater chain, and the country all participate in the sharing.

Take 100 yuan at the movie box office as an example.

The special fund of the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee. The share is 5%.

After 5% is divided, the remaining 95% will be divided between the theater (theatrical chain) and the production (distribution).

Cinema (theatrical line) ---- According to the strength of the film, it is divided into 57%~62%. For example, director Zhang Fengchen or blockbuster film, the lower limit is 57%=91.7*57%=52.27. Among them, the surface of the theater line has become 7%, but the theater line is actually divided between 2% and 7% in order to expand the market share and win the theater. Generally, it is 5%=91.7*5%=4.59 yuan.

The above is 47.68 yuan for the theater and 4.59 yuan for the theater, a total of 52.27 yuan.

Production (distribution) is divided into 38%~43% according to the strength of the film. For example, director Zhang Fengchen or blockbuster film is divided into the upper limit of 43%=91.7*43%=39.44. Among them, the general issue is 5%=91.7*5%=4.59 yuan.

The above is 34.85 yuan for production and 4.59 yuan for distribution, totaling 39.44 yuan

However, such an approach means that domestic producers are working for theaters, even if it is a production and distribution company like Huayi, they are also working for theaters. This is not very beneficial to the development of domestic films.

That's why Li Lin's previous film and television department teamed up with Zhang Yimou to fight against the domestic theaters, and eventually the theaters gave up 2% of the box office share.

If Li Lin is to set up a theater, then he is equal to all production, distribution, and theater. A movie is equal to all other than 5% of the special fund of the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee and the tax that should be paid. .

"But you should understand that no one would want others to insert into their one-acre three-quarters of land. As far as I know, the theaters have boycotted you." Joseph said: "Your film and television production company currently focuses on TV dramas, and they control it. Not you, but you shouldn't underestimate their influence."

"They all have a vast network of people behind them, and they can even affect the top level of China. As long as those people speak up, the TV station will also be affected."

"Furthermore, they contacted many film companies, asking them not to supply you with film sources, and they would really drag you down on this. As far as I know, Huayi was the first to agree to their terms."

"But we can solve this problem for you." Joseph changed his voice and said: "Our EMI has been in China for decades and accumulated a vast network of contacts. We can help you deal with all this, as long as you allow EMI to invest in the company. ."

"Isn't it a strategic cooperation?" Li Lin frowned when he heard the capital injection. It seems that his big cake has attracted the appetite of quite a lot of people, and they can't wait to eat themselves.

"Merely strategic cooperation is not enough." Joseph smiled softly, "To calm the anger of the theater, EMI needs to ask some of China's standing committees to speak, and EMI also needs to pay a lot of benefits, just strategic cooperation. Not only me, but even the company would not agree to such a thing. For EMI, it is really a loss."

"But it's different for the gold medal company that allows us to inject capital. As long as we become a company under EMI, our EMI is obligated to get rid of the interference of some external factors for you."

"Please trust us we have this ability."

Li Lin certainly believes in EMI. As a global record giant and also one of the oldest giants, EMI is not a huge capital operating behind it. Obviously, EMI is not only interested in Li Lin’s gold-plated company. The record company in Lin's hands has also taken a fancy to Li Lin's entertainment paradise and game company.

The former monopolizes online video entertainment channels, while the latter’s ability to attract money has already been demonstrated. These operating data may be difficult for ordinary people, but for giants like EMI, it is not a big problem.

And they are also very interested in the theater that Li Lin is about to set up.

"Sorry, our gold medal company does not accept capital injection from anyone." Li Lin shook his head and rejected Joseph. "If capital injection is needed to complete the theater line, we would rather not build the theater line."

"Mr. Lee, you are too stubborn." Joseph shook his head and sighed. "Stubbornness is not a good habit."

"For me, stubbornness is a good habit." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please visit read.)
