Dong Aiguo was stunned when he heard Lu Hao's words.
In fact, he said these words for two main purposes.
From a public perspective, the employment rate of the entire industry is indeed taken into consideration.
Personally, he also wanted to disrupt Lu Hao's situation and not let his plan go so smoothly.
After all, as a state-owned enterprise, CTS has many ideas about the nearly 10 billion yuan in national support funds.
However, as Lu Hao launched the plan to export 100 films overseas, the national support fund is limited. If the 100 films from Lu Hao account for the majority, then naturally there will be much less that can flow to other places.
It's all a chain reaction.
What's more, Lu Hao's 100-film plan is a good thing for other companies, but not for CTS.
From the perspective of market competition, CTS is indeed no match for other companies.
From the perspective of his face, he felt a little embarrassed as the head of a state-owned enterprise, following Lu Hao for a living.
But this cannot be said directly, so one can only use the banner of employment rate and high-sounding words to conceal one's true purpose.
However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Hao also had a solution to this problem.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Aiguo secretly held back his thoughts. The muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a forced smile, "Okay, then I'm all ears to Mr. Lu's advice."
"I don't dare to claim these opinions as brilliant, but they're not very mature at all. I hope we can discuss them together."
Lu Hao said this in a very humble manner.
Be high-profile in your work and low-profile in your life. If you get an advantage, it is not a bad thing to lower your posture.
As he spoke, Lu Hao looked at Yuan Xingwang next to him and whispered something. After hearing this, Yuan Xingwang immediately stood up and hurried out.
Less than a minute later, someone was brought back.
It was Ma Chaofan from Dream Video.
"Let me introduce you all. This is Ma Chaofan from Dream Video. I believe everyone is familiar with Dream Video. Haha, I have nothing to hide. I invested in this company, but later on we brought in a lot of venture capitalists. Now, it has become the leading short video company in the domestic market share, with over 350 million daily active users and 50 million paying users, and this number is still growing."
"This is Ma Chaofan, the CEO of Dream Video. Because the matters we are going to discuss next require Mr. Ma's assistance, I have specially invited him to attend this meeting temporarily."
Lu Hao spoke calmly and introduced himself.
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
this……
For a moment, I inexplicably felt that I was being pressed step by step. Lu Hao's pace was so fast and his layout was so deep that it made me feel a little breathless, and I also felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
It's like two people playing chess. The other player has a firm control over the situation. Every move is almost perfect, and everything that can be calculated is taken into account.
On the other hand, our side was not only confused, but also felt like walking on thin ice. We had no idea what move he would make next.
"Hello everyone, I'm honored to be invited by the Film Guild, especially by Mr. Lu, President Lu's care."
"Although Dream Video is an internet company, it has inextricable ties with the film and television industry. Among our shareholders, there are also several film and television companies. Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Let's listen to Mr. Lu's speech first."
Ma Chaofan greeted everyone politely and then sat at the last seat.
In fact, the value of Dream Video is now no less than that of the film and television companies present, and may even be a little higher.
According to the recent valuation of Dream Video by various investment institutions and business evaluation agencies, it has reached 20 billion US dollars.
Of course, this valuation is somewhat inflated, but it is also within the normal range. After all, the valuations of Internet companies and high-tech enterprises are inherently high.
Even if it goes public, the price-to-earnings ratio will be many times higher than that of traditional industries.
But this is the base of the Film Guild, and Lu Hao is presiding over the meeting, so Ma Chaofan didn't dare to be abrupt and just listened attentively.
"Why did you invite Mr. Ma from Dream Video over?"
"This is my second plan, the National Creation Plan, in addition to sending 100 high-quality films overseas."
"Back to the topic Dong Zong mentioned earlier, 95% of the films on the market today are unprofitable. What are the reasons? Many factors, including high investment costs and high theater commissions, are the two main reasons."
Lu Hao talked freely.
That's true.
In fact, these so-called "junk movies" do have box office revenue, but the box office revenue is basically below 100 million yuan. After excluding various shooting, operation, promotion and marketing costs, as well as the share of theaters, there is naturally not much that can be earned by the producers.
If costs are well controlled, it may be possible to get one third.
If you meet someone who doesn't know how to live, it may be one in five.
But there is no way around it. This is the law of business, which cannot be changed by human will. If you don’t spend a lot of money on publicity and promotion, no one will know about the film and no one will watch it.
It's even more impossible if you don't go to the cinema.
"So my idea is to make high-quality cinemas available in cinemas, and ordinary movies available online, while also vigorously promoting the development of online dramas and micro-films."
"It takes time for a director to grow, and for a mature production team to grow."
"We consider online movies as a novice village for high-quality films. Through online platforms, we provide them with a low-cost and competitive platform to accumulate experience and hone their skills. Secondly, we can also find new profit models for the existing copyright library. Thirdly, we can also provide a reservoir for the cultivation of our director talent echelon. Fourthly, this is also a trend. We can first try and make mistakes on the online platform with a small cost, and even create IP to better understand the audience's taste. Once the IP matures, it can be adapted into a big movie, which is also a feasible path."
…
After Lu Hao finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into complete silence. Some people lowered their heads and remained silent, some were stunned, and some slumped in their chairs with frowns on their brows.
Such a move can truly be said to be a big step, and it is likely to have an immeasurable impact on the film market structure in the next five or even ten years.
As to whether such an impact is good or bad, no one knows, and only time can tell.
But, there is no doubt that this is a trend.
Jiang Qianfan held the water cup with both hands so tightly that the veins on his wrists were exposed, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion and sighs.
Lu Hao!
What a calculation!
When Lu Hao first founded Dream Video, he had a detailed discussion with Lu Hao and reached a certain consensus on the issue of online movies.
He himself has a company in North America that is similar to Dream Video, but it follows the development path of online movies + VR hardware equipment.
However, Jiang Qianfan never expected that Lu Hao would become the president of the Film Guild.
Moreover, it can be connected with dream videos.
The effect that can be achieved by adding the two together is far greater than the effect of one plus one equals two, and may even promote exponential growth of Dream Video!
Take every step carefully!
This person's character and thoughts are truly... horrifying!
Apart from the word "horrible", Jiang Qianfan really couldn't think of any better adjective!
