Chapter 684: I Want to Start a Satellite TV Station!
After a busy morning, Yin Jun just ate a bread and a carton of milk at noon, and then slept in the office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At around three o'clock, Yin Jun, who slept refreshedly, arrived at the Peninsula Hotel in his car.
Shao Yifu has special preferential treatment here, so Yin Jun reported Shao Yifu's name and smoothly entered the café, and then saw Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen smiling and chatting.
When I walked in, I found that I couldn't understand what the two were saying.
Lingbo is located in Jiangnan, there are a lot of local dialects in Jiangnan, and Lingbo dialect is also one of them.
Seeing Yin Jun coming, Qiu Degen, who saw Yin Jun first, smiled and waved his hand to Yin Jun, but did not stand up.
Shao Yifu, like him, politely turned his head and nodded to Yin Jun, even if it was a greeting.
Although the identities of the three of them are almost the same, they are all bosses of TV stations, but the two of them are qualified to be Yin Jun's grandfather, and they should be a little bit of a shelf.
What's more, Qiu Degen is still Yin Jun's Qiu Bo.
sat down at the small round table, and the waiter next to him came over and poured a cup of black tea into the porcelain cup in front of Yin Jun, and immediately retreated to the corner.
The young man ate a few pieces of dim sum unceremoniously, and then drank all the black tea before leaning back comfortably.
"It's really good to be young!" Shao Yifu sipped black tea leisurely and said with a smile, "If I were his age, white wine, cigars, and women...... It's so cool to come to everything!"
"Who says it's not?" Qiu Degen stretched, "Like me, I feel tired after sitting in the office for half a day, I used to work for two or three days in a row, and I didn't have any problems at all!"
"So, while I'm young, I should work harder. Yin Jun closed his eyes and said, "Time is pressing now, I have to hurry!"
Shao Yifu was so angry that he laughed, "You want to hurry up, so you will trap our two old men?"
"Sixth uncle, that's not what I said. Yin Jun opened his eyes, "I bought a new company and don't give people some benefits, how can I let them work for me, how can I catch up with your wireless TVB?"
Shao Yifu was speechless.
I've never seen someone say they want to catch up with you in front of others.
Qiu Degen answered next to him, "Ah Jun, it's not Qiu Bo who said you, you are throwing so much money, how much money is not enough! Also, the salary conditions you give are very different from those of wireless and ATV. Especially the top stars, almost twice as much, doesn't that make us feel bad? You shouldn't want all the stars to go straight to you, right?"
"It's not either. Yin Jun shook his head, "They come to me, and I don't have many places for them." ”
"But you're doing it, so we can't do business. Shao Yifu said, "Now the cost is high, if we are like you, if we greatly increase the expenditure on salary, what money will we make?
"Yes, Ah Jun, you have the entire golden hen of "Kirin Weekly" to support, and the sixth brother and I are not as thick as you. Qiu Degen said, "Do you think you should revise your salary system? If nothing else, how about you reduce it by 30%?"
"Uncle Qiu, I only sent out the order yesterday, and I will revise it today, so can they still obey me? If the prestige is gone, can this TV station still be managed well?" Yin Jun quickly refused.
"It doesn't have to be now, it's going to be a while. Shao Yifu said very intimately, "We can also go to the Broadcasting Bureau to sue you, saying that you disturbed the market, and then they ordered you to check yourself, so that you don't have an excuse to reduce the price?"
Yin Jun smiled bitterly, "Sixth Uncle, do I have to thank you for being so thoughtful for me?"
"I'm here for everyone's good. Shao Yifu's face remained unchanged.
But Yin Jun knew that Shao Yifu definitely wanted Jiashi to go out of business tomorrow, whether it was in Yin Jun's hands or not.
That's how it is to be a TV station, the fewer opponents, the better!
Qiu Degen was also a little emotional, originally they were all discussing, taking advantage of Yin Jun's lack of cooperation with Jiashi, they quickly killed Jiashi completely.
But I didn't expect Yin Jun to complete the acquisition so quickly, and it was a wholly-owned acquisition, which means that Yin Jun wants to do a big job.
Let Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu fight Yin Jun together, Qiu Degen felt a little awkward, this ATV can get it so smoothly, Yin Jun's help is indispensable, and it is really a little ungrateful to Yin Jun like this.
Besides, Qiu Degen watched Yin Jun grow stronger step by step.
Against such a genius, and against such a genius who will definitely become the richest man in Xiangjiang in the future, Qiu Degen's psychological pressure does not know how great.
Therefore, after Jiashi changed the boss, the alliance between ATV and Wireless broke down, because Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen couldn't talk together.
Now the two just hope to join forces and let Yin Jun make some regressions, otherwise wireless and ATV will be really uncomfortable.
Yin Jun's screenwriting talent, coupled with his strong financial support, wireless and ATV are not opponents no matter how you look at it.
Faced with the meaning of the two being a little forced, Yin Jun did not get angry, and of course he did not mean to do it.
Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu are good friends, and the two of them have controlled costs to the point of going crazy.
Yin Jun is now raising the salaries of employees and actors, which has made them feel unbearable, if they are allowed to see the exaggerated salary and various expenses after 40 years, I am afraid that they will have a heart attack immediately, right?
"Sixth uncle, Uncle Qiu, the times are constantly changing, if we always hold the original set of ideas, we will definitely not be able to adapt to the times. After a deep sigh, Yin Jun said, "For example, Uncle Six's Shaw Brothers movies still maintain the large studio system that began to rise in the United States in the 30s. But now the United States has long since changed, and there have been positive changes in Xiangjiang, but you still don't want to change.
This caused the Shaw Brothers to step by step from the first throne, whether it is a director or a star, there is a bit of a green taste. If my prediction is correct, at most 10 years, Shaw will be completely discontinued because of your insistence. If this is the result, Uncle Six, do you think your persistence is still interesting?"
Shao Yifu was so angry that his fists clenched.
No one has ever dared to say Shaw Brothers movies so bluntly in front of him, saying that this is his life's work.
But Yin Jun didn't say anything wrong, and it was reasonable, Shao Yifu couldn't refute it if he wanted to.
Qiu Degen hurriedly spoke, "Hehe, Ah Jun, it's too biased for you to say that." Although the sixth brother is a little more conservative in making movies, has he made different money this year? If you look at Zhang Ce's "Golden Sword Woman" and Du Qifeng's "Blind Detective", aren't these all money-making? Also, the movie "Police and Detective School" that he invested in, do you still say that you want to lose money?"
"It's definitely not going to be a loss, but it's not about Uncle Six. Yin Jun said frankly, "It's impossible for me to share every movie with others, now the three major theater chains of Shaw Brothers, Jiashi, and Golden Princess are all competing, and everyone knows that my movie makes money, and it will naturally be released." At that time, you will not be eligible to ask for shares. ”
Shao Yifu had a headache when he heard this, "You make such a big investment alone, won't it be too risky?"
"I'm not going to fail. Yin Jun said confidently.
Shao Yifu opened his mouth, and originally wanted to say a few more words, but he remembered Yin Jun's net worth of 4 billion, so he sighed and stopped talking about this.
So Yin Jun continued to reason with them: "Sixth uncle, Uncle Qiu. In fact, if it was just for such a small market as Xiangjiang, I wouldn't have worked so hard at all. There are only more than 5 million people in Xiangjiang, at best, 7 million, such a small place, if according to my newly announced salary conditions, even if I defeat all of you, I will have to lose money every year, the surface is beautiful, and the heart is bitter. ”
Shao Yifu became interested, "Do you still want to fight overseas?"
"Isn't there satellite television in the United States and Europe now?" Yin Jun said, "I think I can also experiment with renting a part of the signal from a communication satellite and covering the whole of Asia, so that all Asians can see my program." If you think about it, there are only 6 million people in Xiangjiang, and there are almost 500 million people in the whole of Asia, even excluding China and India, right? With such a population of 500 million, how much advertising money will advertisers spend on advertising for us?
And what is the increase in the expenses of my TV station? In addition to a little star fee, in addition to a little production cost, isn't the rest just a little bit of the artist's salary? The difference between 500 million and 6 million yuan is not enough for me to double their salary? If they perform well, I will earn back ten times the money. ”
Qiu Degen's eyes lit up, but he immediately frowned: "Where is it so easy for you to go to the satellite? Is there a stable communication signal satellite now? Even if you go to the satellite, where can you afford to buy a satellite receiver in those poor places?"
Historically, the first satellite television station in Asia was supposed to be Japan's NHK TV, which began to transmit its own satellite signals to the world in 1984.
Xiangjiang's first satellite TV station was not applied for by Li Chaoren until 1988, and it was officially launched in 1991.
So Yin Jun said this thing 10 years in advance, which is really a bit too early.
The conditions are not very ripe.
Shao Yifu is also very familiar with this, he shook his head and said, "Now the average selling price of our TVB TV series in other cities is about 150,000 yuan per episode, and it is about 200 million net profit income in a year." ATV is slightly more than us, almost 250 million, and Jiashi is now the least, 120 million. You need to change, but we don't. After all, an increase of 200 million in advertising expenses is not as easy as this pure profit. ”
Yin Jun said, "I didn't ask Sixth Uncle and Uncle Qiu to follow me, I just told you what my next strategy is." Merely...... Sixth uncle, you think that it is easy to sell 200 million dramas in other cities, but I can't expand the advertising fee income here, which is a big mistake. ”
"Hehe, do you think you can succeed?" asked Shao Yifu with squinted eyes.
"I don't think I'm going to succeed. Yin Jun said proudly, "Yes, there are many difficulties in doing satellite TV stations now, such as satellite transmission problems, signal reception problems, program promotion problems, and advertising investment problems...... Wait a minute. But if you don't do it, how do you know if it's okay? If you don't work hard, how can you have the opportunity to dominate the whole of Asia? Uncle Shao, I'm not like you, I'm willing to live in such a small place. ”
Shao Yifu didn't get angry when he heard it, he had long passed the era of passionate action, and now he is angry a lot of times, and many times he is doing it for others to see.
At this time, it doesn't matter if he's angry or something, Yin Jun won't care if he's angry or not.
In terms of economic strength, Yin Jun is much richer than him.
In terms of the strength of the TV station, Yin Jun had already beaten TVB without pressure two years ago, and Shao Yifu had no way to deal with him.
Therefore, Shao Yifu still calmed down and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yin Jun didn't answer him, but continued to say to himself, "That's right, now Xiangjiang's film and television industry is dominant, and people all over Asia, including Japan and South Korea, like to watch our movies and television." But will this ever be the case? Now that there are several countries that have banned the broadcast of Hong Kong movies, what about TV dramas in the future?
If they think that making their own TV dramas will not only reduce their costs, but also cultivate their own TV talents and increase their sense of glory, will they gradually reduce our TV dramas? At that time, will our TV dramas still sell as well as they do now? Without the selling of foreign cities, what will the two of you use to support so many stars, actors, and crews? What can you use to make money?"
Qiu Degen has always admired Yin Jun's vision in the entertainment industry, especially in the TV drama industry.
Hearing this, he nodded and asked: "What you said should be far worry, right? We worked hard to shoot the drama well, can they not watch it? After there is demand, can those TV stations not buy it?"
"Uncle Qiu, you would be naïve to think so. Yin Jun laughed, and spoke a little politely, but he came over today just to make the two old foxes vibrate, so it didn't matter if he spoke heavily.
Looking at the two of them, Yin Jun said, "You don't understand, some countries have been influenced by our country for more than 2,000 years, and now they don't want to be influenced by us anymore, they need to have something of their own, or ...... A culture of independence. What foreign viewers want to watch is not decided by them, nor by the television stations, but by the people in the government above.
Once the administrative force begins to interfere, banning the broadcast of Chinese TV dramas, and vigorously developing TV dramas and programs in their own languages, what do you say will the TV stations below do? Will they comply? Or will they resign and leave?
Or let's put it another way, Xiangjiang is the size of a projectile, and these current screenwriters and actors are all resources accumulated in the past few decades, they have experienced too much suffering and tempering, and then now ushered in an explosive period.
Once this group of people grows old, those pampered actors and screenwriters grow up, will they have the ability to take over the burden of their predecessors and become the mainstay of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry? Do you think that the children who grow up without worrying about food and clothing can have another Zhou Runfa?
This time, even Shao Yifu was a little moved.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the future, but he's only thinking about ten years at most.
Yin Jun's current consideration is already 30 years later.
You can say that Yin Jun is worried about nothing, what to do in the future thinking about it so early.
But it can also be said that Yin Jun is considering a century-old foundation for Xiangjiang's film and television entertainment industry.
And Yin Jun said it to the point, as if he had seen such a situation happen.
Why is he so sure?
Shao Yifu couldn't figure it out, and Qiu Degen couldn't figure it out either.
But both of them understand that with a genius like Yin Jun, he is still so worried, so wireless and ATV are even more worried.
Not to mention anything else, as long as Yin Jun maintains the speed of releasing a classic work in two months, then the TV series after Jiashi will sell more than 300,000 yuan per episode.
After calculating the income from other cities that Jiashi can sell for more than 4 a year, Yin Jun can earn back the money he bought from Jiashi in two and a half years, and he can earn it back with the income from other cities alone.
However, even so, Yin Jun has to carry out a major innovation that "hurts his muscles and bones", doesn't it show that he may face a grim situation in the future?
To put it bluntly, Heung Kong's TV stations are now increasingly reliant on revenue from other cities to achieve increased profits.
Once this is broken, relying only on the small place of Xiangjiang can guarantee that the family will survive!
"The biggest advantage of running a satellite TV station is that I can control my own destiny. Looking at their pensive appearance, Yin Jun said slowly, "Satellite TV stations, as long as people from these countries directly install satellite receivers, they can watch it, and they don't need to go through the signal of the local cable TV station at all." As long as my show is good and the TV series is good, they will always support it, after all, this is a free show, who wouldn't love it?
And I, as long as they form a scale, and use this number of viewers to negotiate with advertisers, do you think they are willing to spend more money to make their products cover the entire Asian region?
When he said this, Yin Jun had a strong self-confidence.
Li Xiaochao's satellite TV Chinese channel, from the start to the sale, in less than 20 months, the total advertising revenue is about 380 million US dollars, according to the exchange rate price at the time, is about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Yin Jun is a traverser, with such a strong strength, and so many classic ancient and modern Chinese and foreign TV series and variety shows, if they can't be about twice as big as Li Xiaochao, it will be a great failure.
Obviously, Yin Jun will definitely not fail!
