Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 130

Just after the fifteenth of the first month, the army reorganized the Xiangjiang Tianyuan Juncai Educational Charity Fund and formally applied for the establishment of the Xiangjiang Luojunyan Student Charity Foundation, and established the Xiangjiang Tianyuan Juncai Trust and Investment Fund within the foundation.

Luo Junyan and his wife, the founders of the Luo Junyan Education Charity Foundation, donated 200 million Hong Kong dollars at a time and expanded the charity foundation’s donation to the entire Greater China region. Because sister army is still on the blacklist, Luo Junyan serves as the chairman of the charity foundation.

Personal charitable foundations do not aim at making profits, and the trust investment funds within charitable foundations also have no share capital. That is to say, if the donation is donated, it is donated. Donors can’t get back the benefit of a penny. They can only specify the purpose of the donation, and all the proceeds of the trust investment fund are used for the charity of the foundation.

Moreover, personal charitable foundations are not allowed to raise funds publicly in the society, and can only rely on private fundraising.

Personal charitable foundations and charitable trust investment funds can be exempted from all taxes just like official charitable foundations, but the management fees are not low.

This time, the army sister will manage the operation of the Xiangjiang Tianyuan Juncai Trust and Investment Fund. Relying on private fundraising is a drop in the bucket, and long-term operation requires its own blood production. The profit of the trust investment fund is the bulk of the donation.

Brother Cheng’s suggestion is to invest in Continental Internet companies. To put it bluntly, it is to invest in angel rounds of Internet companies. Of course, he knows how great the benefits of Continental Internet companies will be in the future. This will not only do charity, but also promote the development of mainland Internet companies, and the influence will be greater.

As soon as the news was released, sister army got in touch with the Hope Project Charity Fund of Mainland China to discuss the specific details of donating and assisting students, and to go through the necessary procedures in advance.

At the same time, the Mainland China Film Company commissioned Xiangjiang Yindu Agency to find Snowman Century Entertainment, intending to introduce “Sweet Honey” to the mainland for release. Bian Sicong has charged 1 million Hong Kong dollars for the purchase of the copyright for the mainland market. Luo Junyan will make his first appearance in front of mainland movie audiences.

In 1995, “True Lies” was also introduced to the mainland by China Film, and it won a box office of 102 million yuan in the mainland, which is simply a big hit. Therefore, the 1 million Hong Kong dollar buyout fee of “Sweet Honey” is purely a stated price, otherwise the box office data of Hong Kong’s local and foreign markets will be enough to bid for tens of millions.

At this year’s Academy Awards, “Sweet Honey” won eight categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Photography, and Best Costume Design Nominate. At the same time, “Sweet Honey” has also signed up for the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. It is certainly not a problem to be shortlisted, and there is great hope for winning.

In the first month of the first month, after Hu Xin recovered the box office share, he went to the United States to continue his tour of outsourcing films. Broadway theaters have also agreed to strengthen cooperation with the Snow Knights Distribution Company.

The risk of introducing foreign films is also very high, and Hollywood film buyout costs are rising year by year. If Anle Films competes with Snow White Knight on the buyout price, it will not be worth the loss. The Oriental Cinemas will definitely show the film that Snow White Knight bought. By then, Anle Films will not be able to take advantage of both inside and outside.

The main business of Xiangjiang Snowman Century Entertainment and the Korean branch has completely transformed into film and television investment. Bian Sicong is under great pressure this year, not only testing his vision, but also betting on his luck.

The other is to give full play to his supervisory talents and strictly control production costs. It is impossible for Bian Sicong to follow the crew every time, so cultivating a group of on-site production talents is the top priority of Snowman Century Entertainment.

Xiangjiang Snowman Times Media has determined the specific development path of Kewang Media under the guidance of Brother Cheng, focusing on film and television promotion websites.

This idea is not complicated. Through specially produced clips and exclusive interviews with celebrities, coupled with the collection of tidbits and information during the filming process, we can **** the market from traditional media in the pre-heating promotion stage.

Of course, the technology network business needs to revise its business objectives based on the actual development of network technology, but the fundamental purpose is to strive to see results quickly. Now that the Internet has just emerged, the short-term benefits of hype and publicity will be considerable, and there is no advantage at all in the medium and long-term. Brother Cheng’s idea is to make quick money.

Sister Army needs to stay in Xiangjiang to handle the affairs of Xiangjiang Luojunyan Charity Foundation and Wind Snow Giant Trust and Investment Fund. Luo Junyan set off for South Korea alone. After the performing arts base was built, he hadn’t been there yet. This time he wanted to learn more about the development of South Korea’s Silver Snow Throne Entertainment.

After Luo Junyan was enlightened by sister army, his thoughts of avoiding the world have disappeared.

There is no pure land in this world. After the majestic lion is alone, the end will be even more miserable. Moreover, Luo Junyan has a gene of unrest in his bones, and Xiangjiang will let the hyena group of Huang Jiadong and his like dominate?

He now has the strength to form a lion colony, and the reason for retreating is nothing more than the mentality of being in peace and worrying about gains and losses. Luo Junyan fully corrected his thoughts. Just like Master told him recently, he has grown a golden retriever since he was playing. You can either be a pet or be the king of the beasts. It’s no good if you want to mess around in the flock, too special. garish.

Another reason is that Luo Zhaohui was recently attacked by a group of wealthy people such as Liu Luanxiong, and he was immediately devastated. The facts are right in front of him. It is just an excuse to cut Hu’s Snowman Times Building, and more importantly, Luo Zhaohui has lost the consciousness of being a pet.

In the eyes of these people, is Luo Junyan a golden retriever? It’s just that Luo Junyan is lucky than Luo Zhaohui, and he met Brother Cheng and sister Army, every step of the choice didn’t make him wrong, otherwise he might have been dragged down by those female stars long ago, and I don’t know where he is fooling around.

At the same time, after chatting with Brother Cheng, he also untied a knot in Luo Junyan’s heart. No one can guarantee that your subordinates will always be loyal to you. You don’t want to be a pet, don’t others just give you a pet willingly? The upper class is destined to be a lone ranger, and everyone has to be able to chop and slash away. Instead of wasting time to speculate on other people’s minds, it is better to grind your own fangs.

When Luo Junyan arrived at the Korean Performing Arts Base, all the employees stood respectfully at the gate to greet him. Luo Junyan first inspected the performing arts base carefully, and stood in the empty training center of the auxiliary building. He probably understood the problem.

The entire base is surrounded by a high wall, and is completely used by three companies: Silver Snow Throne Entertainment in Korea, Gemini Digital Special Effects Company in Korea, and Xiangjiang Snowman Century Entertainment Korea Branch. Office areas will not be rented out.

This makes the vacancy rate of the 17-story main building quite high. The management offices and performing arts training centers of the three companies only occupy the top 3 floors, and other areas are still in the planning.

In the park behind the main building, the 7-story auxiliary building on the left is a functional area for training students such as body, dance, and vocal music, plus a medical cosmetic surgery center on the top floor, which was built with the help of Bian Sicong’s older sister.

The 7-story subsidiary building on the right is the special effects studio of Gemini Digital Special Effects Company, where several films are being shot. This part is also built in accordance with the standards of the American special effects company. There is no gorgeous place, but the cost is really not low.

The open office area on the basement level and the two floors above the ground in the center of the park is the computer special effects production work area of ​​Gemini Digital Special Effects Company. Luo Junyan felt distressed when he looked at the expensive customized computers, and the shadow of Apple computers immediately appeared in his mind. This American company made him remember.

It is not possible to enter the Xuandao Garden Villa area from the working area. There is a special lift garage door facing away from the main building. There is a special elevator in the garage to directly reach the Xuandao Garden Villa area, which is very secretive.

The hanging island with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters is currently in the stage of closed forest cultivation, and outsiders are temporarily not allowed to enter. But the villa has been renovated, but there is no interior decoration, just waiting for Luo Junyan to decide.

On the four sides of the hanging island are walls made up of black stones, about 1.5 meters high, and covered with vines and green moss. There are 3 three-story modern-style villas in the garden. The central one of the 3 villas covers the largest area, but it covers an area of ​​less than 200 square meters. It is said to be 3 independent villas, but in fact it is more like one. A courtyard composed of the main house and two wing rooms.

Luo Junyan felt that there was still a big difference between reality and imagination, no wonder Brother Cheng and Huo Wenxi had persuaded him not to do business outside. This place really cannot be turned into a “Royal Garden”, not even a private manor villa.

However, the overall greening on this hanging island is indeed very beautiful. It is in clusters of broad-leaved forests, covered by vines, and green grass, which gives people the illusion of infinite space.

In order to realize Luo Junyan’s idea of ​​the entire performing arts base, in fact, the land utilization rate and building practicability are very low.

The main building was designed to be flat and curved, so the office space in the building had to be sacrificed. The area of ​​independent offices on each floor of the building is only 30 square meters, and the corridors are very narrow. Even if they want to rent out, only small companies will take it.

Around the hanging island behind the main building, only one single carriageway can be designed for the carriageway. Fortunately, you can directly enter the underground parking lot from the entrance of the gate and auxiliary building, and the number of vehicles in and out of the park is limited, otherwise it will inevitably cause congestion.

The only highlight is its beauty. This performing arts base has become a landmark building in this area, and there is an endless stream of citizens taking pictures outside the back door wall. This building is truly glorious, and it’s just as good as it is.

Luo Junyan felt that he really wasted money this time. A weird idea of ​​a decision maker may spend huge sums of money to pay for it. This kind of personal preference, there is no reason for subordinates to openly antagonize you.

After that, Luo Junyan temporarily put aside his regrets of bleeding, and asked Jin Zhehe to learn about the company’s operating conditions.

Currently, the Silver Snow Throne Artist Training Center is recruiting students for the third phase, and it is following the same path as Xiangjiang TVB.

The trainees can graduate after a one-year training and pass the assessment. In the previous two training sessions, the company left 25 contract trainees to become contract artists. The graduate students who didn’t fancy it were recommended to other entertainment companies and earned a small amount of brokerage contract transfer fees.

The workload of the 25 contracted artists is constantly increasing, but the income earned is not much.

In the past two years, Korean advertising, TV dramas, movies, singing, backing dancers, models, commercials and other entertainment businesses have continuously increased the demand for outstanding artists. Professional artists who have been carefully selected, professionally trained and packaged are very popular in the Korean entertainment circle, and it is easy for the artist agency to take orders.

However, all the artists under the contract are Koreans. Luo Junyan’s envisioned goal of attracting students from various Asian countries cannot be realized at all. Moreover, these artists can only receive the most basic jobs in the entertainment industry. They are exhausted every day, but it is difficult for them to become popular. The income they earn is nothing but hard money.

Jin Zhehe managed the heavily invested base like this, and he was quite ashamed when he confronted Luo Junyan.

The only good news is that this year, the Korean media has already reported definite news that the authorities will abolish the film censorship system in October and switch to a classification system. This is just like Xiangjiang at the beginning. It is a major good news for the film industry, and film production companies are likely to usher in a period of rapid development.

Jin Zhehe’s idea is that at present, creating a movie star is undoubtedly the most feasible development route. This requires the cooperation of the Snowman Century Entertainment South Korea branch. Film investors can designate role candidates. This situation is particularly serious in the Korean film and television industry.

Bian Sicong once reported to Luo Junyan that the reason why the South Korean branch of Snowman Century Entertainment has been delayed is because Korean people rarely go to watch movies made in South Korea. The local box office can’t collect much, and it is basically impossible for Korean productions to be distributed to other cities. The chances of investment and filming in South Korea are very small.

Luo Junyan also probably understood that Hong Kong movies and Japanese movies were popular in the Korean market before, but Hollywood movies have become popular in the past two years. The Korean film industry has not yet formed a complete system. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Locally produced films in South Korea have indeed grown in recent years, but most of the films are invested by some South Korean chaebols, who do not expect to make money from films at all, and do not care much about losses. What’s more, the issuance and theater chains are their own, even if it is a loss, the amount of loss is limited.

In the past two years, Jin Zhehe’s breakthrough direction is to win out TV series stars, and has been building a network of relationships in the film and television circle. Local Korean movies are not good, but TV dramas are popular. Acting as the protagonist of TV dramas is the only way to become a popular star. Korean TV stations have become particularly critical.

This performing arts base was constructed by South Korea’s Tae Young Real Estate and Construction Company, which is the largest shareholder of Seoul Broadcasting Television. Established in 1990, Seoul Broadcasting is the only privately-owned TV station in South Korea. After its name was changed, it became quite famous. Of course, it is impossible for Luo Junyan to know.

Relying on the relationship that Jinzhehe once worked with, Silver Snow Throne Entertainment and Seoul Broadcasting TV station get along very well, and there are a lot of opportunities for their artists to be photographed. But this kind of partnership is not very strong, and it is impossible to want its artists to act as the protagonists. The TV station has its own contracted artists.

Luo Junyan has not considered investing in film production in South Korea for the time being. He is not a South Korean chaebol and can use local film production as a pastime.

This time, he had made a mistake in his own judgment, and Luo Junyan had already admitted this fact in his heart.

The situation in South Korea is completely different from that in Hong Kong. Korean local productions are not popular in the local market, and the chance of a film artist becoming famous is very slim. Since you can’t hold influential movie stars, who will come to you for training?

What’s more, a long-term contract must be signed from the beginning, and the artists under the banner will have to be exploited for at least 8 years.
