Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 297 The Entertainment Industry Boss Who Was Furious to Death (7)

Summit Entertainment Group, inside the chairman’s office.

Du Qiong and Du Yuan, brother and sister, were both called over by Bai Sheng. Before Bai Sheng came in, they had been whispering to each other about what their biological mother wanted them to do.
Now they can't guess anything at all.

What is Bai Sheng thinking about now?
A few minutes later, Bai Sheng came into the room and sat on the sofa:

"I called you two here this time to discuss the next plan. No, that's not accurate. To be precise, I have already decided on the next plan, and you two are responsible for executing it."

"It's very simple. We need to take out a loan to buy a cinema chain."

"?" "?"

For a moment, Du Qiong and Du Yuan both suspected that they had heard it wrongly. Du Qiong even said bluntly:

"Mom, please say it again. I wonder if I heard it wrong. Did you just say that you want to take out a loan to buy a cinema chain? Did I hear it wrong, or is your brain..."

He didn't dare to say the next words.

The meaning is very clear, doubting Bai Sheng's brain...

It seems possible, maybe something went wrong!!

“You heard me right. Buying a cinema chain is a time when loan interest rates are relatively low, and cinema prices are unprecedentedly low. If it were before, forget it. There’s no point in bringing this up. But buying a cinema chain is not actually a wrong thing to do. You just did it at the wrong time.

It’s actually a good thing to continue to develop cinema chains now.

As long as we can ensure that there won't be any loss-making dramas in the future, and that every drama can make money and be profitable, then there's nothing wrong with borrowing a few hundred billion in low-interest loans and purchasing cinema chains. We don't ask for a lot this time, nor do we require that they all be in first- and second-tier cities, or city centers.

Instead, we have to ensure that every county has at least one of our cinemas, casting a wide net.

If it’s really hard to buy, we’ll build it ourselves.

Or buy a bigger house and renovate it.

This is related to my future layout.”

Bai Sheng didn't go into detail, but she put forward her own requirements anyway. This is just the offline layout, and the online layout will definitely be carried out simultaneously. When the online and offline layouts are all complete in the future, she will be the only one who can ban others in the entertainment industry, and no one else can bully her. Not to mention banning her, isolating her is courting death.

If a big country wants to have no weaknesses and not be strangled by others, it must have a very complete industrial chain and a complete industrial base. The same is true for corporate giants in many industries. For example, the basis for the development and low prices of a certain milk tea brand is that it has its own orchards, its own raw material processing plants, and its own transportation chains. Even these things are not easy to be strangled by others, but after doing everything by itself.

It can indeed greatly reduce costs.

At the same time, it can also ensure the safety of raw materials to the greatest extent.

The industrial chain of the entertainment industry is nothing more than pre-production and post-broadcasting. Needless to say, as for production, they are already industry giants and have no shortage of people in all channels. The only thing they lack is the broadcasting channel. Currently, there are three main broadcasting channels: TV stations, video broadcasting platforms, and cinemas.

There is definitely no hope for the TV stations. She can't buy all of them. Besides, the ratings of TV stations are not that good now. They are already outdated broadcasting channels, the kind that are half-dead.

Naturally, we can only focus on video playback platforms and cinemas. The video playback platforms have top-level artificial intelligence, and there will be a steady stream of high-quality film and television dramas in the future, so there is no need to worry. So what we really need to worry about now is purchasing offline cinemas.

Bai Sheng certainly doesn't have the time to travel around the country, inspect everywhere, and then buy things, so naturally she can only trouble her cheap children.

"Mom, can you tell me about your future plans? To be honest, I really have no idea at all. If you ask me to do something else, I promise not to say anything. It doesn't matter if I don't understand it, I will just do it.

But I've already suffered such a huge setback in purchasing the cinema chain. If you ask me to take charge of this matter again, I... am really panicking!"

Du Qiong's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

But it is indeed telling the truth.

"Don't worry. If I don't have some confidence, do you think I would be as stupid as you? The company has made some new breakthroughs in technology, such as holographic projection technology, commonly known as naked-eye 3D technology."

“The purpose of purchasing the cinema chain is to plan for this.”

Although Bai Sheng has the technology to directly manufacture a holographic experience cabin, there is no need to do so. He should first make money from holographic projection and then slowly build the holographic experience cabin.

"Mom, but I saw in the news that someone said they had invented holographic projection technology last year or the year before? Did you buy the patent? But I haven't seen any corresponding funding allocated by the Finance Department recently?"

Du Qiong still didn't quite understand.

"Why don't you just die of stupidity? If this technology is really realized, would it be so popular on the Internet? Can major theaters not make any moves, not introduce it, and not want to reap the dividends? The so-called holographic projection technology now is either fake, or it is defrauding or attracting investment. It is a bit inappropriate to describe it as defrauding. After all, it is not that nothing has been studied.

But my holographic projection is real!"

Bai Sheng didn't want to explain anything more, so she just spoke the facts directly. After a snap of her fingers, several more people appeared around her and glared at her son together.

After a while, the others beside her stood up and stepped forward to give Du Qiong a big slap. Of course, they were holographic projections and could not hit him. At most, they could only scare him. Then, he and his sister were both very surprised and shouted excitedly with flushed faces:

"Oh my god, it's real, it's really holographic!"

"How can it be so real? Oh my god, it even has a shadow. Oh my god, this thing can be used to pretend to be a ghost. Compared with this technology, the so-called holographic projections I saw before are really rubbish. They can only be regarded as fake holographic projections!"

"Mom, we're going to get rich!"

"Where did you get such good technology?"

"I thought you had been traveling around and enjoying your retirement all these years without taking care of anything, but I didn't expect you to secretly have such a big one. What a surprise!"

"It's stable, it's stable. With this patent, I can easily get a 100 billion yuan loan from the bank!"

After a moment of surprise, the siblings continued to try to contact Bai Sheng's projection, as if they had obtained a new toy. Then Bai Sheng snapped his fingers again with a rather evil taste, and she instantly turned from a normal person into a terrifying zombie with a hideous face and eyeballs popping out, which successfully earned the siblings' continuous screams.

He smiled and snapped his fingers to turn off the projection:
"How is it? It's very real...

This is much more exciting than a haunted house or a horror movie, and it is far from comparable to the so-called 3D4D or even 5D technology that allows chairs to move.

Getting you to buy a theater is just the first step.

The next step is to transform the cinema chain.”

However, the frightened Du Qiong and Du Yuan were in no mood to answer Bai Sheng for the time being. They were lying on the ground to relieve their hearts that were almost jumping out of their chest. About four or five minutes later.

Du Qiongcai looked at Bai Sheng with resentment, muttered a few words that he dared not say out loud, and then complained a few more times. Then he said that there was no problem and he would try to contact the bank to negotiate a loan.

Once the loan is negotiated, we will acquire the cinema chain.

National layout.

Then, Bai Sheng assigned another task to his daughter: "Xiao Yuan, you also have a task to do."

"After the previous collapse and the last purge, the company has lost a lot of artists. You should hurry up and recruit more recently. Don't sign contracts yet. Report their personal information to me. I will send someone to check and make sure there are no principled issues before signing.

In addition, the management of artists should be stricter.”

"Mom, this is really hard to handle.

I have already managed them very strictly before. If I were any stricter, it would infringe on their privacy. I can't really assign an assistant to watch them 24 hours a day, or really ask them to abstain from sex completely.

Teenagers are a little easier to deal with, as most of them are willing to obey, and we don’t accept those who are too rebellious.

But those who are in their twenties and thirties have already become famous.

There’s really no way to be too strict!”

Du Yuan didn't understand to what extent Bai Sheng's strict requirements were, but she knew that there was nothing wrong with complaining first, which was like getting a vaccination in advance.

"I know, what I mean is that in the future, we should not create those characters that are easy to collapse, and we should not interfere too much in the normal love and marriage of artists, but we must strictly control things that break the law and cross the moral bottom line.

My request is that I should not be blocked.

Changing faces is quite troublesome. If a show changes faces two or three times, it won’t be very friendly to the audience.”

As long as one is a human being, he or she will make mistakes, and it is normal for one's personality to change in the future. Therefore, Bai Sheng did not expect to be absolutely optimistic about all the artists under her company. As long as the crisis can be controlled to a certain extent, she will be satisfied.

For example, don’t be banned from the entire Internet.

“Okay, I’ll try my best, but the publicity and public relations department is quite powerful this time. If the publicity and public relations department can maintain the current strength in the future.

Then I feel more confident about this matter.”

The artist management department was indeed much cleaner after the purge. In addition, the promotion of the two new movies also allowed Du Yuan to see the changes in the group's publicity and public relations department. So she thought about it and finally remained relatively conservative, saying only that she would try her best.

Bai Sheng also understood that managing people was different from buying things. People were too unpredictable, so he did not force it.

After agreeing, the meeting ended.

Everything continued to proceed in an orderly manner.

In the following year and a half, Bai Sheng successfully monopolized nearly 80% of the domestic film and television drama market by releasing five or six passing dramas, one or two high-quality dramas and one hit drama every month, offending a large number of film and television drama practitioners, of course, mainly referring to other companies.

It's much the same with the movies.

Not only the popular schedules, namely the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, Spring Festival, New Year's Day and Christmas schedules are also involved, but one or two good movies are also released in months without any holidays, reaping most of the box office revenue.

Nearly twenty films were released in a year and a half.

The total box office reached 80 billion.

The total box office for this year and a half was only less than 100 billion, more than 90 billion. This shows how much box office revenue the movies released by Bai Sheng had.

How can it not make people hate it?

It can be said that half a year ago, Bai Sheng made people feel sorry and many people gloated over his misfortune, but now Bai Sheng is the target of public criticism. Except for a few TV series and movies with very high quality that were less affected and did not suffer losses, the rest basically suffered heavy losses.

So as early as half a year ago, major film and television groups and entertainment companies had already formed a cooperative alliance and decided to deal with Bai Sheng together, both openly and secretly.

Unfortunately, the effect is quite poor.

When it comes to waging wars of public opinion and deliberately smearing others, they are no match for top artificial intelligence. Through their operations, Bai Sheng has successfully sent away nearly one-third of the domestic water army forces and greatly cleared up the online atmosphere.

If they want to cut off the broadcasting channels, Peak Entertainment Group already owns a huge share in the cinema chain. Moreover, cinema chains also need to make money. It is impossible for them to not schedule and screen the big-money films and only schedule those low-income films or films with low attendance rates.

The same is true for online film and television playback platforms.

When they promote their own dramas the most, they give more attention to them. But if their own dramas are really not as good as those produced by Bai Sheng and his company, they will not deliberately suppress them and push users away.

So in reality, the cooperative alliances between film and television production companies and entertainment groups have only played some role in the TV stations' broadcasting. The specific manifestation is that although Bai Sheng has launched many popular dramas, very few of them are broadcast on satellite TV, and many people can only mock them for this.

However, this does not affect Bai Sheng's ability to make money.

It also does not affect the fact that many artists are flocking to their projects. In just less than two years, Summit Entertainment Group has gone from being a poisonous weed that often promotes bad dramas to having a reputation for producing quality products.

It turns out that everything still depends on strength!

Now, nearly two years have passed, and it is the summer season again. The science fiction film trilogy "Star Voyage" has been completed. Bai Sheng decisively announced the global distribution and officially developed overseas.

Then, everything became self-evident.

Science fiction movies are specially made to reap global box office revenue. In order to adapt to the local culture of each country as much as possible and make more money, the plots in different countries are also different. How could the box office be low?

However, in just one week, the global box office total exceeded 5 billion, and in half a month it exceeded 10 billion. By the end of a month, the total box office had settled at a full 17.8 billion. This was the global box office revenue achieved without using the killer holographic projection technology.

When Bai Sheng was quite satisfied with the result.

The top artificial intelligence suddenly reminded Bai Sheng that there were suspected literary works from other worlds appearing on the Internet.

It refers to Bai Sheng’s personal plane database.

Works that already exist.
