How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 550 Paving the way for future plans

In just one month, Zhang Nan went from being alone to having two children.

Yes.

Ye Quanzhen and Xiao Jue gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively to Zhang Nan.

Among them, Ye Quanzhen gave birth to the eldest daughter, and Xiao Jew gave birth to the second young master.

But neither of them were satisfied.

Ye Quanzhen still has some old ailments and wants a son, while Xiao Jude has a son and wants a daughter.

Simultaneously.

After hiding the fact that Zhang Nan had a child for more than nine months, she finally couldn't hide it anymore.

After all, one was okay, but a few days after Ye Quanzhen, Little Judea also unloaded the goods.

When there are more people, it will naturally be difficult to hide the news.

Of course.

This is because Zhang Nan didn't take the confidentiality of this kind of thing too seriously.

After all, this kind of thing is not unprecedented.

Looking forward, the incident of Brother Chenglong’s Little Dragon Girl only happened a few years ago.

And when it comes to celebrity status, Zhang Nan's celebrity status and influence in the Mainland film and television circles are more than one level above Chenglong.

At the same time, Zhang Nan is not messing around in the mainland, but acting on the fringes of the motherland.

The rules in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are still somewhat different from those in the mainland.

However, the feeling of having a child did make Zhang Nan feel a little different inside.

It's like having an anchor.

It just so happened that the situation at this time was quite suitable.

Then some ideas that have been planned for a long time can be started to be acted upon.

and so……

Zhang Nan called the person in charge of Longbow Publishing Company.
-

"How is the mainland cinema market lately?" Zhang Nan asked directly.

The person in charge of Longbow Distribution Company thought for a moment and said in detail: "Very good. As the mainland film market has continued to boom in recent years, theaters, a business that was not expected to be optimistic in the past, has now attracted a lot of capital. Bernard, Wanda, Alibaba, Hengdian Group, Guangxian, Penguin... all began to intervene more or less, wanting a piece of the pie.

Fortunately, Longbow Publishing has been developing for many years and has a good foundation in Mainland China, Asia, Europe and the United States. We also have the content support of Longbow Pictures and your presence. So far, no one dares to challenge us. You're welcome, they're all friendly. "

This content can be said to explain the specific situation of Longbow’s release over the years.

Entering the venue early and continuing the layout, there is also Zhang Nan, a participant in almost the world's top film and television projects.

No one dares to hinder the development of Longbow Publishing Company.

But it’s already 2012, and that event will happen in another seven years.

After that wave of incidents, the film and television company was fine and just stopped the project temporarily.

Some boats are easy to turn around, and you can also take advantage of the situation to film some popular movies and TV series, and earn a small amount of money and fame.

Basically, film and television companies have suffered losses, but they are not fatal and are acceptable.

But theater companies are in dire straits.

Rent, water, electricity, and employee salaries all have to be spent continuously to maintain.

In the beginning, many theater chains were able to withstand it. After all, the golden age of film and television in the mainland in recent years has indeed made theater companies make a lot of money.

But for one or two years, no one could stand it.

Let's say that.

In 2021, Wanda Pictures sold the shares of the second North American cinema chain company it had previously purchased with a large sum of money.

Zhang Nan definitely didn't want Longbow Publishing Company to experience this wave of losses at his own hands.

Then the only way is to sell Longbow Publishing Company at a high price in advance and let others take over the responsibility for him.

And when the incident is over and everyone has suffered heavy losses, he can still buy it back.

However, with the size of Longbow Publishing Company now reaching several billion US dollars, it would be impossible to reach a conclusion within a few years of negotiation.

So now we can show some signs.

It just so happened that a few years later, it happened to be the peak period of the mainland film market.

Longbow Distribution was also able to sell at high levels.

But these things are obviously difficult to explain directly to his subordinates. Fortunately, Zhang Nan has already thought of an excuse.

"Currently, the mainland film and television market is still not big enough, and the profits are not large enough, so the capital can still bear it. But when the mainland film market continues to prosper, they will blindly rely on the content of Longbow Pictures and my deterrence. , to ensure the development of Longbow Publishing Company, it is still a bit unsafe, so I decided.

If there is more capital to discuss cooperation with Longbow Publishing in the future, you can slowly sell off some Longbow Publishing assets. But in terms of degree, it is first the franchise theaters that cooperate with Longbow Distribution, and then Longbow Distribution’s own theaters, but it is only selling theaters, and the theater land must still be retained to collect rent. "

Zhang Nan will never forget how valuable mainland land will be in the future.

If you can get into the position of the person in charge of Longbow Publishing Company, you are certainly not a fool.

As soon as I heard Zhang Nan's words, I knew that Zhang Nan was determined to let go of control of Longbow Publishing Company and wanted to sell the control rights of Longbow Publishing Company at a good price.

But the person in charge couldn't figure out why Zhang Nan did this.

After all, the fit between Longbow Distribution Company and Longbow Pictures is basically 100%, and it is an industry chain that can be closed.

"Director Zhang, I know you won't take the wrong target, but after slowly selling Longbow Distribution, the development of our Longbow Pictures has been restricted. Even if it can rely on the strong strength of its own content, it will be among the various distributors. Sometimes things go wrong, but in the end..." the person in charge said with a somewhat responsible tone.

Zhang Nan waved his hand when he heard this and said: "Of course I know that if the film and television industry wants to develop well, both the content side and the distribution side need to be grasped and both must be strong, so I recently asked people to organize the smart wearable device company—— Longbow VR Equipment Co., Ltd.”

VR technology is not a new technology. It was proposed as early as the last century.

However, due to limitations in technological level, this technology has slowly become unpopular.

But in recent years, the gaming industry has been booming, and this technology has been hyped again.

Even the practitioners in the red light district felt the danger, proving once again that the one who beats you is not necessarily your peers, but probably other track players who have crossed over.

After all, if a 18-ban game could be played holographically, its lethality would be more than one level ahead of those working in the red light district.

There is nothing we can do.

The quality of employees in red light districts is still uneven, and this is determined by genes.

But the 18-ban game allows players to play freely. With specific equipment, they can also adjust the tightness and different modes.

“I know that with the current level of technology, the game scenes created in VR will be a bit rough.

But I didn’t want to make it so real, it would be enough to show a movie.

If this film and television distribution channel is really developed, it will greatly save a lot of expenses and at the same time, it can also make a lot of money by selling equipment.

I have thought about the overall idea. Just follow the path of Sony and Microsoft in developing game consoles. And you can rest assured that even if Longbow Distribution is gone, this newly established distribution channel will still need someone in charge. "

Zhang Nan's idea is wonderful, but the person in charge of Longbow Publishing is not very confident in the future Zhang Nan describes.

After all, human habits are not easy to change.

Moreover, the research cost of such a machine will not be small, and the starting price will definitely not be low.

But watching movies is inherently a low-end consumption.

Some viewers feel distressed when they have to pay more than ten yuan for a movie ticket, let alone such a terminal machine for watching movies.

You know, the game consoles of Sony and Microsoft are not selling very well!

That's still the entertainment method of playing games.

But Zhang Nan had already guaranteed his future position as the person in charge and had made a decision. Naturally, it was hard for him to say anything. After all, the company belonged to Zhang Nan.

Naturally, Zhang Nan saw the person in charge of Longbow Distribution and was a little distrustful of the future he described.

This is also normal.

After all, normally speaking, such a rash change of human living habits is indeed almost impossible to succeed.

But who said that would happen a few years later?

Zhang Nan has already planned to make the viewing equipment into the style of a motorcycle helmet so that people can walk or sleep with it, and then add functions such as internal air circulation, filtration, sterilization, and sterilization.

Price tag!

Zhang Nan doesn't plan to make much money, just a hard-earned fee.

Follow the path of small profits but quick turnover and gain a good reputation.

After all, if this kind of equipment is actually developed, a large number of audiences who have changed their viewing habits will be cultivated within a short period of time.

This is equivalent to learning from Penguin Group’s communication software and monopolizing an industry.

In the future, there will definitely be an influx of capital to learn to compete. Then with a good reputation, the brand will be very competitive.

As for you, no one buys it?

There is no need to consider this issue at all.

Zhang Nan has always believed in one thing, that is, most people in this world cherish their lives, and no one cares about their own lives.

The reason why so many people in Europe and the United States are not used to wearing masks in the original time and space is that Zhang Nan feels that many people are still stuck and have no way to get out.

Moreover, the protective capabilities of masks are indeed limited.

But it has a movie-watching head and an almost completely airtight helmet.

That is to have steps, and there are steps. I am not afraid of viruses, I like watching movies and fashion.

The protection ability is required, and the protection ability is also full. It can not only prevent viruses, but also prevent headshots.

If the outer casing is designed to be harder, it might be able to compete with truck tires, and compete with Nokia for the title of the hardest product.
