Chapter 860: Situation and Pressure
After the opening of 7-11, the number of Kirin Daily delivery points around these 50 stores has been greatly reduced.
Because the "Kirin Daily" is placed in 7-11, it is for everyone to take and read, so naturally there is no need for special people to distribute and guard.
It's also very interesting to say, after the "Kirin Daily" entered 7-11, those white-collar workers who usually take it and leave are a little embarrassed to go in empty-handed to get the newspaper and leave, they usually try to see what to buy, so as not to be embarrassed.
This has increased the business volume of 7-Eleven by some time.
7-Eleven is not only in newspapers and magazines, but also sells records.
Whether it is the popular Deng Lijun, Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin, Chen Baiqiang, or Japanese, European and American singers, or classical music, there are at least twenty or thirty kinds.
And these records are selling very well.
After white-collar workers come in, they see their favorite singers, and it is very common to sell one, after all, the price is not expensive.
It's a bit of a steal from those record stores.
But doing business is like this, these businesses with no threshold and no technical content, either you rob me, or I rob yours, whoever has the ability can grab customers and make money.
If you want to talk about stealing business, aren't so many stores in Xiangjiang robbing big business by 7-11?
And the newspaper guys, and the breakfast shop, the bakery, and even the copy shop......
Let's not talk about how many enemies 7-11 erected, let's go back to the record.
In the past half a month, the best-selling records in Xiangjiang and even the entire Asian Chinese-speaking circle are no longer Zhang Guorong in February and Tan Yonglin in March, but Chen Baiqiang, who released records in April.
The album "How Precious Tonight" did not break Zhang Guorong's sales record, nor did it stand to the point of Tan Yonglin, but with the passage of time and the continuous spread of word of mouth, the record is selling better and better, and it is getting closer and closer to Tan Yonglin's record.
Unlike the all-Cantonese album of "Tonight is Cherished" in the previous life, among the 12 songs, 3 songs are Chinese songs, which is Yin Junqiang's own regulations.
Although the Xiangjiang music scene is still dominated by Cantonese, if you don't speak Chinese and don't sing Chinese songs for a long time, then the ties with the mainland will not be so close, and it is not suitable to sell records throughout Asia.
Xiangjiang is not only the Xiangjiang of Xiangjiang, it is not only the Xiangjiang of China, but also the Xiangjiang of the whole of Asia.
Although this sentence is a bit tongue-twisting, it is Yin Jun's inner thoughts.
Hong Kong develops on its own and has no future at all.
Only by integrating it into the whole country and the entire Chinese-speaking society can it have a broader market and a broader future.
Of course, there are many things to do in order to obtain so many benefits.
It is necessary to be the vanguard of the cultural expansion of the Chinese language.
Tan Yonglin and Chen Baiqiang's records have such a flavor in them.
"How Precious Tonight" Whether it is "How Precious Tonight", or "The More You Kiss, the More Sad", or "Night Night Night", all have excellent lyrics and music skills, coupled with the efforts of the current and future songwriters, the record level will not be outdated in the 90s, let alone 1981, when there is little competition now.
In any era, a good song will make people like it.
Even in the last era of records, can Jay Chou's records sell millions of copies?
So, Chen Baiqiang became popular, which is really not a strange thing.
However, the successive popularity of him and Tan Yonglin made the third singer of the company a little warm.
Fei Xiang has just finished filming "The Speed of Life and Death", but at this time, he is no longer the same as he was half a year ago, he has grown up and matured a lot, and he has a more specific pursuit of his future.
Compared with making movies, Fei Xiang actually prefers singing.
It's just that he was fooled by his idol Deng Lijun for a while, and he came to Xiangjiang in a daze and signed a full contract with Kirin Culture for music and film and television.
Now that he is miserable, but has gained a lot of "Speed of Life and Death", the filming is complete, so it's time to make a record, right?
Fei Xiang thought about it so beautifully.
But when he went to the recording studio of the green Kirin Records to try to sing a few songs, he was hit by a group of songwriters and producers present.
The reason is simple.
Although Fei Xiang studied drama in the United States, his pronunciation and expressiveness were not suitable for pop music.
If he wants to make a pop music album, he must go through a good system of training, adjust his voice and pronunciation.
At first, Fei Xiang was not convinced.
But Huang Bogao didn't talk nonsense, and directly took him to the recording studio where Deng Lijun was recording, and let him listen to a trial recording of Deng Lijun, Fei Xiang didn't say anything, and honestly started his own targeted practice.
Huang Bogao asked Yin Jun what Fei Xiang's music positioning was.
Whether to take the Chinese route, or rely on the advantages of his mixed-race son, to directly impact the European and American markets.
Here, you can see how bold Huang Bogao is.
A young man who has no foundation, he actually wants to get to Europe and the United States to develop.
And the reason why Huang Bogao is so confident is that he has an omnipotent boss.
People can use two English songs to praise Teresa Teng as a first-class diva, and the album produced now is even more amazing, and if they don't win the world's No. 1 sales throne, those people are blind.
The boss is so talented, he asked him to give Fei Xiang two or three English songs, and release a single every six months, or Fei Xiang will not become a world-class singer in a year or two?
However, Yin Jun rejected Huang Bogao's idea.
In terms of singing, Yin Jun is not very interested, although it is to cultivate stars, he also wants to create a lot of singers, but for such a thing as going to the European and American markets, only the queen sister is enough, he really doesn't have so much energy to do this.
At least for now, Kirin Group has borrowed $3.7 billion, and it is impossible to say that there is no pressure at all.
Don't look at Yin Jun who has never shown anything on the surface, but the people around Yin Jun can see that the degree of Yin Jun's hard work has increased a lot.
Even if you want to make music, you have to wait until Yin Jun pays off the $3.7 billion.
At that time, he had the energy to create new people one by one.
Nowadays, the best way to repay debts is to do a good job in movies and television on the one hand, and actively grasp "Kirin Weekly" and its derivatives on the other hand.
If you're lucky, you can repay most of the $3.7 billion loan in about two years, and you can almost pay it off in four years.
Don't forget, the loan has interest, and the interest is 350 million US dollars a year, which is 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not affordable for everyone in the families of the rich in Europe and the United States, let alone the current Xiangjiang.
If Yin Jun hadn't had the big IP of Transformers in his hand, he would never have followed Goldman Sachs' advice and swallowed Disney two years in advance.
It was precisely because of the Transformers that the general trend was already in place, and this time it was really a rare opportunity, so Yin Jun gritted his teeth and took it.
Four years later, in Xiangjiang, there is actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
That is, after the real estate in Xiangjiang entered the trough, it would take two years at most to start rebounding, and the time was 1984.
And this wave of rebound was basically smooth, and it didn't fall sharply until 1997, and it didn't recover more than ten years later.
Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong and other super-rich people took advantage of such an opportunity, and then spent 13 years to become the top few people on the Chinese list.
Yin Jun doesn't like real estate, but he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to make a lot of money.
This acquisition of Lianyi Films, Disney, and 7-11 made him know the importance of capital.
Even if he Yin Jun is talented, without the backing of capital, his dream is unlikely to come true.
Only with the help of capital can Yin Jun's entertainment career gradually expand to the mainland, to the whole of Asia, and to the world!
Of course, Yin Jun can also develop slowly, but the boy himself knows best, this is the safest way, but the key is that time is not waiting!
In a few years, Japan will make a mess of the capital market and the US buying and selling market.
Columbia Pictures is about the same size as United Arts, but in 198.9, how much did SONY buy Columbia Pictures?
The purchase price of $6 billion, intermediary fees and other expenses add up to more than $600 million, which is close to $6.7 billion!
It's just crazy for the same price!
If Yin Jun doesn't speed up his pace and wait until he competes with the Japanese who is getting rich and doesn't know how to spend money, he will definitely be beaten to the ground—the price of land in Tokyo alone exceeds that of the whole United States, what do you do to fight with others?
Therefore, even if it is a little harder now and he has more debts, Yin Jun has to grit his teeth and buy the company he wants to buy, and then start the layout.
It is not easy to sort out a company full of contradictions.
Now that Yin Jun has two such companies, it is even more difficult.
If you want to turn their situation around, you will never be able to do it in three or five years.
In Hollywood, neither one movie nor one success is enough to make you a winner.
Only with continuous and stable success will it be accepted by Hollywood and become a reliable object in the eyes of those fans and TV fans.
This is how the image of an entertainment company is established.
Only Yin Jun, who has too many classic movies, TV series, and variety shows in the vault, dares to rush forward resolutely under such difficult conditions!
Even so, Yin Jun can't guarantee when he will succeed in dominating Hollywood.
It is easy to gain a firm foothold, and the road to subduing them in Hollywood, which is dominated by Americans, is definitely long and arduous.
But what is the point of a person, a person who has traveled from 42 years later, if he doesn't even dare to have this dream?
In his previous life, Yin Jun was a very indisputable person, kind and without ambition, just thinking about doing the work he liked, marrying a wife and having children when the time came, and spending his life plainly and happily.
But back to 42 years ago, after more than three years of precipitation, Yin Jun already has a very clear understanding of his future.
Something must be done.
I can't do anything else for our country and people who urgently need to prove themselves, but in the entertainment business, let everyone be proud of Chinese entertainment!
In general, this is also spreading our culture!
In Chinese movies, TV series, variety shows...... Under the subtle influence of entertainment, we will not be demonized by others as soon as there is a little thing, right?
