You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 232

Qin Shaoyan originally didn't have much interest in getting involved in the entertainment industry, but he happened to meet Meng Xueyi and happened to have such an opportunity.

After all, the entertainment industry is also a contributor to social platform content and can often bring huge traffic to social platforms.

As long as it can bring traffic, then you have to think about it carefully.

Director Meng can provide a lot of resources that can be used. Based on the principle of come and go, Qin Shaoyan will naturally not let go of the opportunity to kill him.

2005 can be regarded as the end of the first stage of the mainland entertainment industry. From 1995 to around 2005, the mainland film and television industry experienced pioneering and growth.

In the early 1990s, the closed commercial loop of TV drama production and broadcasting was still firmly in the hands of state-owned institutions and was not open to private capital.

Until 1995, Radio and Television Order No. 16, "Interim Provisions on the Management of Film and Television Production and Operation Institutions," stipulated that "individuals and private enterprises shall not, in principle, establish film and television production and operation institutions."

Order No. 17, the "Regulations on the Administration of TV Series Production Licenses," does not explicitly prohibit private companies from participating in TV series production.

As long as certain conditions are met, private companies can apply for a temporary license for TV series production.

Idol dramas from Hong Kong and Taiwan and TVB have also been introduced in batches to compete for prime time.

Then there is chicken feathers all over the place.

Facing the menacing Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, the mainland entertainment industry was powerless to fight back and instantly became a piece of fish on the chopping board.

There is no shortage of such things as cheating investors out of their money. Everyone knows how deep the water is in the entertainment industry. In addition to some people who deliberately launder money, there are also many who do tricks with funds. A straw hat worth six thousand US dollars Such props can be said to be everywhere.

Of course, the most important thing is to help Qin Shaoyan keep an eye on the crew and prevent them from doing anything.

It doesn't have to be involved in the production, it just needs to be knowledgeable and discerning, and be able to identify the quality of the script. The rest is to provide Qin Shaoyan with an investment list and investment advice.

After the launch of satellite TV in 1998, each satellite TV station has to compete with other brother units for national ratings, and the ratings are linked to advertising, which is economic benefits.

"Who are you? Do you have an appointment?" the other party said casually, "If you have any questions, please leave a message and I will pass it on to Mr. Liu."

Relying on the trend of economic development, the capital of the entertainment industry has expanded rapidly, taking off on the trend, and movie box office records are also constantly being refreshed, showing a scene of blazing fire.

It can be said that this is an era when the capital of the mainland film and television industry is weak, but a large number of classic works have also been born in this era.

The Hong Kong circle, which has entered a period of decline, has moved northward to the mainland to seize the market and make money.

Also in 1995, the film market was also liberalized, and social capital, that is, outside industry funds, was allowed to invest in film production.

From the subject matter to the plot, from the production to the actors, it was a very good period.

Idol dramas and TVB dramas are broadcast in the mainland to create stars. Hong Kong and Taiwan stars come to the mainland to make money and star.

The liberalization of the mainland's film and television drama market has not only attracted private capital, but also capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Faced with this situation, mainland film and television companies launched a counterattack and relied on CCTV to produce a large number of classic works to compete with Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Starting from this year, private capital entered the film and television industry to pioneer.

Qin Shaoyan said directly, "Tell Mr. Liu that my name is Qin Shaoyan and I want to meet and chat with him."

Facing this period, Qin Shaoyan felt it was necessary to have a hand in classic works.

Qin Shaoyan cursed a few times and forgot about the matter.

After that, Internet capital entered the market, and then relied on the advantages of mastering the video platform and capital volume to achieve dimensionality reduction in the entertainment industry.

Qin Shaoyan quickly rummaged through his pocket, picked out Liu Mingzu's business card, and called him.

Just because the coal boss has a lot of money and doesn't know how to do it, he doesn't know how to direct the filming. His only requirement is to support female stars.

As a result, TV stations from all over the country invested funds and cooperated with TV drama companies to produce high-quality content. During this period, many popular and popular TV dramas were born.

During that period of time, it was normal for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to star in first-line TV series broadcast locally, while mainland actors could only play supporting roles.

The call was quickly connected, and a delicate voice came from inside, "Hello, who is this?"

In this chain, there are no places left for mainland actors. They can only act as green leaves for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

The person on the other end agreed and then hung up the phone.

After the intervention of Internet capital, the entertainment industry began to miss Mr. Coal again.

Isn't that the son of a coal boss whose family owns a mine? He's also a colleague of the Internet.

Speaking of the coal boss, Qin Shaoyan suddenly remembered the Liu Mingzu he met at the party with Su Ran.

Huayi, Guangguang, Bona, and Huace were born one after another, and the first batch of mainland entertainment capital began to enter the stage of history.

Hong Kong and Taiwan Capital invested in the film and took control of important positions in the crew.

What a perfect victim.

After 2008, mainland stars finally crushed Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and successfully achieved a counterattack.

Once we get the copyright, we can support the video platform just by relying on these excellent works.

At the beginning of the 21st century, a tacit cultural blood-sucking chain has been established.

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, looked at the business card in his hand with some doubts, and then confirmed the number, "Is it Liu Mingzu, Mr. Liu?"

But Qin Shaoyan still doesn't know much about the entertainment industry. The most important thing is that he lacks a capable person who understands business and can take charge of his own business.

The boss of a company with a valuation of tens of millions and a secretary is really quite impressive.

Relying on the first-mover advantage and many years of operating experience in the entertainment industry, Hong Kong and Taiwan capital have controlled the mainland entertainment industry and regard the mainland as a dumping market for celebrities and film and television products.

After all, he is also a second-generation coal worker, so it is not unusual for him to have three secretaries.

Today is the last day of the New Year's Day holiday. Qin Shaoyan has no social activities to attend to and no urgent work to deal with at hand.

So Qin Shaoyan, who was free, began to think about where to go to make the most of his leisurely vacation.

Go to the company and play games online with employees?

Qin Shaoyan quickly gave up this idea. After all, the company only had employees on duty at this time, and he felt sorry for disturbing their work.

Of course, it's definitely not that Qin Shaoyan can't beat them.

As the boss of a company, it is really boring to win over your employees.

Why don't you go find Su Ran?

An idea came to Qin Shaoyan's mind, and just as he was about to pick up the phone and send a message to Su Ran, an unfamiliar number called.

"Hello?!" Qin Shaoyan answered the phone angrily, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Qin." A slightly familiar voice came from the other side, "I am Zhao Junkai."

"Zhao Junkai?!" Qin Shaoyan didn't react for a while.

"Zhao Junkai from Hairun Film and Television." Zhao Junkai emphasized again, "Mr. Qin, do you still remember me? We had dinner a few days ago."

Qin Shaoyan immediately remembered who the other party was, "Oh, it's Mr. Zhao, what can I do for you?"

"Does Mr. Qin have time now?" Zhao Junkai hesitated, "Let's meet. I want to talk to Mr. Qin about some business."

Qin Shaoyan was very surprised. Haven't we talked about it before?
The copyright to be purchased has been decided, and all that remains is for the professional team to negotiate the details, and finally sign and seal the draft contract. Why did Zhao Junkai come to the door again?

Qin Shaoyan was a little confused and asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhao, haven't we talked about it before?"

Zhao Junkai suddenly said: "Didn't Mr. Qin always want the rights to broadcast "Bright Sword" online?"

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was very surprised, "Didn't you say this is not for sale?"

"Mr. Qin..." Zhao Junkai was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said, "Why are you doing this?"

"What the hell?" Qin Shaoyan felt confused, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Qin, let's talk about it when we meet." Zhao Junkai sighed.

Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Then you come to our company and we'll talk about it in person."

……

Nearly an hour later, Zhao Junkai drove to the office building of Sentinel Technology.

After getting off the car, Zhao Junkai took a curious look at the three-story building and then at the brand new sign.

"Campus network." Zhao Junkai was in a daze for a moment, "This is the famous campus network."

Although he is from the film and television industry, he doesn’t know much about the Internet industry.

But after talking to Qin Shaoyan last time, Zhao Junkai deliberately searched for the other party's information and asked someone to inquire about it.

This inquiry didn't matter, Zhao Junkai discovered that Qin Shaoyan's background was deeper than he imagined.

The owner of an Internet company worth billions, the number one social networking site platform in China, and an internationally renowned game producer.

It is said that Mr. Qin has many connections abroad and has a close relationship with Bill Gates.

Zhao Junkai realized that Qin Shaoyan had a great background.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he is worth several billion is enough for him to look up to.

Zhao Junkai walked into the campus network company while thinking.

Then he saw a photo of Qin Shaoyan and Bill Gates on the background wall of the front desk. Next to it was a photo of Qin Shaoyan with city leaders, the Olympic Organizing Committee, and the International Olympic Committee.

Zhao Junkai looked at the two group photos carefully, sighed in his heart, and walked inside.

Qin Shaoyan received Zhao Junkai in his office, carrying a bag of tea and a bag of coffee and asked: "Which one should I drink?"

"Just drink tea." Zhao Junkai sat on the sofa with some fear, and then watched Qin Shaoyan take out a tea bag, throw it into the cup, and pour hot water.

Qin Shaoyan casually put the cup in front of Zhao Junkai, "Mr. Zhao will forgive me for my simple conditions."

"It's a holiday today, and the secretaries and assistants are not here, so I can only deal with it with tea bags."

"Mr. Qin is so polite." Zhao Junkai didn't care about this. He put the tea cup aside and said directly, "Our Mr. Liu from Hairun has discussed it with me and agreed to sell the online broadcast rights of the drama "Bright Sword" To Mr. Qin.”

Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Mr. Zhao, let me ask you a question, didn't I say before that this drama would not be sold?"

"One moment, another moment." Zhao Junkai sighed and said with some complaint, "Mr. Qin, if you had told me about the relationship between you and Director Meng earlier, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Zhao Junkai's initiative to visit today was related to Meng Xueyi.

One of the conditions that Edward and Meng Xueyi negotiated before was to help win the copyright for the series that has not been aired this year.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xueyi would move so quickly. Just after the discussion yesterday, Zhao Junkai took the initiative to come to cooperate today.

Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly, "I think business is business. The cooperation between Qvod.com and Hairun is a pure commercial cooperation."

I believe you.

Zhao Junkai looked at Qin Shaoyan with a bit of resentment in his eyes. If you wanted a pure business cooperation, why would you go to Meng Xueyi?

If I had known that you had this relationship, I would have hesitated and sold you the online broadcast rights of all the dramas in a package.

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, Qvod.com is a video website, and the video website is an Internet innovation project."

"It represents a development direction of the Internet. It may shine in the future, or it may disappear soon. These are all uncertain things."

"In the era of the Internet wave, video websites can provide a new platform for film and television dramas."

"The cooperation between us represents a cross-border cooperation between traditional industries and the Internet. Once successful, this cooperation will go down in history."

"I told Mr. Zhao directly that my dream is to build a video website into a third platform besides movies and TV."

"I am very optimistic about the development prospects of video websites, so I have invested a lot of money and resources in Qvod."

"Obtaining the rights to broadcast movies and TV series online is an important part of the video website ecology. I admire the production level of Hairun Company very much, so I especially want to invite you to join."

"The cooperation between Qvod.com and Hairun will be a win-win cooperation."

"Of course, the process may be a bit tortuous, but the result is good."

Zhao Junkai had mixed feelings in his heart and said in agreement: "Mr. Qin is right. I hope this cooperation will be a win-win situation."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, it's definitely a win-win situation." Qin Shaoyan said confidently.

Zhao Junkai didn't know if it was a win-win situation, but he knew that even if Qin Shaoyan did not have the copyright to broadcast online, there would be no shortage of film and television drama content on Qvod.com.

Now people are willing to spend money to buy it, so what's there to say?

Previously, I only sold the rights to old dramas, but this time I also sold new dramas and future dramas together.

After signing the letter of intent for cooperation, Zhao Junkai looked away and asked casually: "Mr. Qin, do you want to buy the sitcom?"

"Buy, of course." Qin Shaoyan said immediately, "No matter what type or subject, as long as it is a movie or TV series, I will buy it."

"You Hairun still have a sitcom?"

"It's not us." Zhao Junkai pondered for a moment, "There is a new drama "Underground Traffic Station", which is also about the Anti-Japanese War, but it is a sitcom."

"No problem." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The Anti-Japanese War dramas will definitely be popular this year, so it would be good to get more."

While the two were chatting happily, Qin Shaoyan's cell phone rang. He took a look and found that it was Liu Mingzu.

He answered it casually, and Liu Mingzu's hearty laughter came from inside, "Mr. Qin, I'm Liu Mingzu. I'm really sorry. I was not in the company this morning, and I left my phone with the secretary."

"Mr. Qin, what orders do you have from me?"

"I don't have any instructions." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "I have a project that I want to talk to you about, so I'll call and make an appointment to see when you are free."

"I'm free, I'm free." Liu Mingzu was overjoyed, "I'm free at any time."

"Then let's do it today." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "I'll find a place where we can eat and chat."

"No need to go to so much trouble." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "I'm already downstairs at Qin Headquarters."

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, this guy moves very fast.
