Huaying Group.
Han Zhou was lying on the sofa in the living room.
According to the discussion outside by a girl from the logistics department of Huaying Group, Han Zhou was the first person in history to lie on the sofa in Huaying Group and play with his mobile phone.
When the newcomers heard this, they exclaimed, "It's so terrifying!"
Is this the demeanor of a strong mentally ill person?
Han Zhou was lying there, feeling bored.
Because Fourth Uncle Han is in a meeting now.
After a long time, Han Zhou felt his shoes being kicked twice. He put down his phone and saw Han Sisheng's face.
Han Zhou sat down quickly and straightened his seat: "Hey, Fourth Uncle, don't you knock before you come in?"
Han Sisheng held the thermos cup and said, "Go to my office."
Standing up, Han Zhou followed Han Sisheng.
Han Sisheng: "What's the matter? Come to me. I'm very busy recently. If it's trivial, I don't have time to help you."
Han Zhou didn't directly state his purpose, but smiled and said, "Uncle, what are you busy with?"
An employee passing by bowed his head and said, "Hello, Mr. Han."
Han Sisheng nodded and said to him, "I remember that I told you last time that an organization would go to Yundian Province to collect folk songs. How is it going?"
The employee said: "Seventeen directors have signed up, and the plan is to go to Tengchong, the southernmost city."
Han Sisheng: "Okay, you decide."
After the people left, Han Sisheng looked at Han Zhou and said, "In Huaying, call me President Han, not Fourth Uncle."
"Okay, Uncle Si, sure, Uncle Si, no problem, Uncle Si."
Han Sisheng turned his head away and rolled his eyes: "Let's talk about business. I've been very busy recently. I'm studying the ban on Korean culture."
Han Zhou walked and retreated tactically: "Did I break the law? Why do you want to restrict me?"
Han Sisheng: "Don't forget to flatter yourself and do things for others. If we restrict you, is it worth our meeting to discuss it?"
"We are studying the issue of restricting Korean literary and artistic works and artists."
Han Zhou instantly became alert: "Bangkok... Bangkok!"
Han Zhou took out his cell phone and made a call.
As Han Sisheng watched, Han Zhou and Lu Jin, who had just answered the phone, said directly: "Breaking news, a ban on Korean culture will be issued soon!"
Hearing this, Lu Jin was puzzled: "Did you break the law of heaven?"
Han Zhou: "It's not me, it's Bangguo!"
Lu Jin: “Huh?!!”
Han Zhou: "Think about it carefully. The contract doesn't have much time left anyway. Come on, come to my company."
Lu Jin was puzzled: "Who said that? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Han Zhou: "As Fourth Uncle Han said, you should make plans early. When disaster strikes, everyone will flee. It's best to flee first, otherwise it will be too late."
"By the way, keep your mouth shut and don't let anyone know about this."
After saying that, Han Zhou hung up the phone.
Han Sisheng glanced at Han Zhou and said, "The official document hasn't been issued yet, and you're spreading my internal information?"
As we were talking, we had already arrived at the office.
Han Sisheng closed the door and said, "Tell me what you want from me."
Han Sisheng certainly wouldn't care if Han Zhou told others such an important thing in advance.
Because Han Sisheng had deliberately told Han Zhou about this matter.
Just like the speedrun was finished.
Now, all Korean entertainment companies that are wholly owned or absolutely controlled in China are doomed.
At least the owner will change.
Also, all the artists from South Korea need to get lost.
People like Lu Jin, who are Chinese but have contracts with Korean companies, must make plans immediately.
Either the contract is invalidated, or the company itself transfers its absolute controlling shares to other people.
However, Lu Jin has another choice, which is not to withdraw from the Korean boy band he is in, but to cancel the contract.
In other words, he actually quit the group, but not in name.
After all, the document checks the contractual relationship and does not interfere with the nominal relationship.
If Lu Jin wanted to quit the group, he would have done so long ago. Although the original company relied on them to make money, Lu Jin was able to debut with the help of the original company. At least a name can give the other party some comfort.
The most important thing is, on the one hand, you can preserve the gratitude in your heart, and on the other hand, you can stop people from gossiping.
After all, when Chen Yin and the others quit the group, Lu Jin did not quit and left his words there.
If he quits now, even if Chen Yin doesn't say anything because of personal reasons, Chen Yin's current agency will definitely hype up this matter and step on Lu Jin for economic benefits.
In the current idol market, the new generation of idols has not yet emerged, and the old generation of idols have all returned from South Korea.
In essence, Lu Jin is the direct rival of Chen Yin and other Chinese members who have left the group.
If you can kill one, then crush it.
The more people are trampled to death, the better it would be if there was only one left, because then there would be no competitiveness at all.
For Han Zhou, it would be best to invite someone like Lu Jin to the New World.
Nowadays, Han Zhou cannot afford to buy first-tier stars in the market. So far, New World has only one first-tier star.
That is Li Xinqi who has already signed a contract with Han Zhou.
However, Li Xinqi has been away from the market for eight years. If she hadn't participated in "The Voice of Dark Gold" as the big devil as Shushu and gained some popularity again, her popularity would actually be less than that of second-tier stars.
Han Zhou is also planning Li Xinqi's return.
Currently, Han Zhou has asked Li Xinqi to serve as a vocal teacher in "Summer of Idols". She has been staying in the training camp for the past two months to adapt to the camera, become familiar with the habits of the current young generation, and regain the feeling of singing.
As for the rest, we will have to arrange it later.
But Lu Jin is different. Although Lu Jin is not a first-line star, he is a top idol.
If Lu Jin joins New World, at least it will have an extra ability to resist risks before it grows bigger.
Han Sisheng saw that Han Zhou was thinking about something, so he asked again: "So, why did you come to see me?"
Han Zhou stepped forward: "Uncle, I want to set up a special effects team."
Han Sisheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Han Zhou: "Can you find a special effects team with a complete framework? I will take over."
"My current TV series needs special effects, and I checked the prices. To be honest, it's better to hire one myself than to outsource it."
"I want the special effects team to be under my control so that I can make movies more easily in the future."
Hearing Han Zhou talking about this, Han Sisheng sat in his chair and turned on the computer: "Let me take a look."
Han Zhou really wanted to take this computer away.
If one had this computer, an unknown person in the entertainment industry could become a big shot in less than three years.
However, this is just overthinking.
After reading it, Han Sisheng said: "There are so many special effects teams."
Han Zhou was a little surprised: "Ah?"
Han Sisheng: "Don't be surprised, there are indeed a lot of them, many of them are on the verge of disbanding or waiting to be taken over."
"After the cancellation of animation subsidies this year, many animation companies that were just waiting to survive have gone out of business, and many of them are special effects teams."
Han Zhou said bluntly: "There is no point in having a special effects team from a rubbish company that just wants to eat and wait for death, right?"
Han Sisheng nodded: "Indeed."
"However, due to the large-scale reduction in animation production, many old animation companies and special effects teams are no longer able to survive."
After all, when the amount of work to be done is reduced, there is not much money to be earned, and supporting a team becomes a luxury.
At this stage, the proportion of martial arts, fairy tales and fantasy dramas is very low, and the era of IP copyright has not yet arrived.
Without animation and TV special effects, how many movies can be made in the country? It is normal that many old companies can no longer operate.
Han Sisheng flipped through his computer and said, "There is a company that is very suitable for you."
"Shudu Green Dye Animation."
A company in Shudu?
Han Sisheng introduced: "This company has also produced animations such as "The Young Man Who Seeks Knowledge" and "Happy Mouse" that have been broadcast on satellite TV stations."
"In recent years, they invested a lot of money in 3D animation, but they went the wrong way and failed."
"After the partner company withdrew its investment, they continued to operate independently, and ended up losing all their money."
“Being able to research 3D animation definitely means they have passed the test in special effects technology, but it also means the company has a lot of useless assets.”
"If you only want their special effects department, it may not be easy."
Han Zhou frowned and began to think.
A company that does 3D special effects?
Fucked it?
There are three directions of 3D special effects: real-life to CG, that is, using real people to model, and then real-life green screen performance to replace the picture with CG effects.
There is also the motion capture system, which is mostly used in blockbuster movies.
The third is the real-time animation generation system.
The third type is the unique technology of an independent animation company in the United States, but this company should have been acquired by Universal Pictures.
As for the second technology, the United States has more mature experience. In China, although we have all the equipment, we are not yet qualified to use it.
As for the first method, some people have tried it, but the results were not ideal.
This company is researching 3D animation special effects on its own, and it is obvious that it is taking the third approach.
This thing is indeed a completely useless asset.
You know, there hasn't been a single proper 3D movie in China so far.
This shows that the technological gap is huge.
Han Sisheng: "There is good news and bad news."
"The good news is that there is a company that wants to acquire the full copyright of Green Dye Animation's "The Boy Who Seeks Knowledge" and "Happy Mouse". If successful, all the debts of this company can be repaid."
"In other words, you need to use about 30 to 50 million to take over this company, and you can use it directly without any negative assets."
"The bad news is that the backbone of this company's special effects team has been poached by another company."
As expected of Fourth Uncle, he mentioned both the highest and lowest price.
Han Sisheng: "If you want to make animation, I might have to persuade you."
"Among all the domestic animated films, hand-painted animation has historically been very strong, but at this stage, companies making animated films are basically losing money."
deficit?
It is impossible to lose money.
Han Zhou: "I don't really want this company. This is an unjust death under the policy."
"It doesn't do much good to contribute money and effort to it."
Han Sisheng: "There is another good news, but it doesn't seem to be of much use to you."
"That is, this company has a hard indicator."
“A hard target to broadcast animation on CCTV’s children’s channel.”
"That is to say, they can have an animation work broadcast on CCTV's children's channel, but if the broadcast effect is not good, it may be cancelled at any time."
Upon hearing the news, Han Zhou was shaking all over.
Only three words came to my mind.
Bears are out!
The most successful series in the history of Chinese films in the past.
Of course, it’s not about word of mouth, but about making money.
Originally, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf are stronger and more powerful, but the movie made up a basis for their defense.
As for the Boonie Bears movie, every time it comes out, it makes a huge improvement on the previous one.
Because once the animation "Boonie Bears" became stable, it became a unique existence in the film market.
A single track.
There is no one else or any other movie competing with it.
They have a huge space to play with their own things and realize their ideals.
The result is that in the film market, Boonie Bears overtook other films and became the most successful film series.
Thinking of this, Han Zhou said: "I'll go check out this company in person!!"
Han Sisheng: "Are you interested?"
"Not interested." He was talking about business, so he couldn't show his gaze: "Anyway, I just finished filming a TV series recently, so I just happened to have some time. I plan to go home to see my parents and visit this company."
Han Sisheng: "Okay, I'll talk to you about it. As for how to talk, that's your business."
Han Sisheng turned off the computer: "I heard that you offended Lu Dajun?"
Han Zhou laughed awkwardly: "Really? I don't know."
"I knew you did it on purpose." Han Sisheng: "Are you so pessimistic about the future of the TV market?"
Han Zhou: "In the future, the TV market will be a subsidiary of online video software."
Han Sisheng raised his eyebrows: "You are very ambitious. You want to make an online video software, make your own works, sell your own works, and have a one-stop production and sales?"
"Ah?" Han Zhou shook his head: "I can't do this. Imagination is very rich, but reality is very skinny."
“I just bet on the network earlier.”
Han Sisheng: "You are relatively young. Since you are optimistic about the online market, what do you think of online movies?"
Han Sisheng took out a report: "This Man Came from Earth, released online, box office 63 million."
Han Zhou didn't even pay attention to how much revenue "This Man From Earth" actually made.
Because the contract signed with Penguin was that Penguin would first give Han Zhou 40 million, and then for each sale, it would give Han Zhou two pieces.
Therefore, Han Zhou was not very concerned about the subsequent income, but was interested in the 40 million that would be transferred to him soon.
But, it has been sold so many times now?
Han Sisheng: "You kid, you are obsessed with doing evil things."
"Which of your relatives is in Sanxingdui?"
"How did you get the inside information?"
"The entire excavation of Sanxingdui was broadcast live by the central bank, but the comment section of the news was full of your people making false claims."
"A movie that has no chance of becoming a big hit has been hyped up like this."
Han Zhou felt wronged: "How could I possibly commit fraud? It might have been the fans who did it on their own initiative."
Han Sisheng: "Whether you did it on purpose or were careless on purpose, it has nothing to do with me."
"I just want you to tell me what you think about online movies."
Han Zhou: "Online movies are not good."
“This road is not feasible.”
"However, online TV series may become more popular than Shanghai TV series in the future."
Han Sisheng understood: "I thought this was a blue ocean market and you were the first to try it."
"I didn't expect this to be a one-time gold mine. The entire piece of gold was dug up by you alone. The people who come after you to pan for gold can only pan in the sand, right?"
"OK."
As the head of Huaying Group, Han Sisheng always keeps an eye on the latest news related to movies.
Any disturbance in any industry cannot escape his eyes.
However, in the Internet age, Han Sisheng still feels a little overwhelmed.
The key point is that no matter how flexible your brain is, after using it for so many years, it will always develop some rigid thinking.
Han Sisheng also thought that online movies would rise as quickly as 3D movies.
I didn't expect Han Zhou, the first person to try something new, to say this.
After thinking for a while, Han Sisheng said, "You kid, don't think there is money to be made in this, so you deliberately fooled me, and then planned to make more movies and make more money while other people are not here, right?"
Han Zhou raised three fingers: "I swear, I'm not talking nonsense!"
“Boom!”
Spring thunder exploded in the sky of Yanjing.
The summer according to the solar term has already arrived.
Han Zhou: "Where did the chemical plant explode?"
Han Sisheng laughed and scolded: "Get lost, kid, you keep talking nonsense every day, one day you will suffer a great loss because of your mouth."
"I'll just eat the big cake, but I won't suffer a big loss." Han Zhou: "Then Fourth Uncle, can I go first?"
Han Sisheng: "Come back."
Han Zhou, who was walking out, stopped.
Han Sisheng: "Go take a look at this script and this finished film."
Han Zhou was puzzled: "What is this?"
Han Sisheng: "A mainstream film, Charge."
“See if you can come up with a soundtrack.”
"I know you took over a music production team. A music production team doesn't make money by making albums, but it would make money if it could make movie music."
"This project is worth about six million. If you can afford it, you can gain a firm foothold in this industry."
"But I'm telling you, when the formal review comes, it will be open to the public. Don't think I can be biased towards you."
Han Zhou took the USB drive.
Han Sisheng didn't let go: "Remember, don't let the source of the video get out. If it gets out, your life in this industry will be over."
Han Zhou held the USB tightly: "I understand."
Han Sisheng: "Only one month."
Han Zhou: “Ah?!”
Han Sisheng: "If it was any other gold medal songwriter, I don't think they could have done it. This kind of project is about hard power and how many strong people there are in the team."
"But you have a high output of songs. I guess you have saved a lot of songs and haven't released them yet, so I gave you this project."
"Also, I listened to 'Joy', it was good... um."
"The music of 'Monkey Show' is good, but the lyrics..."
"You decide."
Unexpectedly, for Director Ma’s work, Han Sisheng even went to check who wrote the interlude.
Han Zhou laughed awkwardly: "Director Ma asked for this style of song himself, don't blame me."
After leaving Huaying, Han Zhou went directly to the airport.
If you say you have a lot of time, then there is a lot of time. If you say you have little time, then there is really no time.
It took more than ten days to finish "The World's Number One".
Now the eighth episode of "Voice of Dark Gold" has been aired.
The first recording of the semi-finals is just around the corner.
And the semi-finals will be broadcast live.
That is to say, Han Zhou will not participate in the first half of the semi-finals, but he will go to the second half of the semi-finals in less than ten days.
Moreover, the editing of "Number One Under Heaven" is about to start.
And there's the soundtrack.
There is also the matter of establishing a branch in Xi City, and Han Zhou will go to visit it when the time comes.
Although there is some time to rest.
In fact, Han Zhou can only stay at home for three days at most.
During this time, I still have to go to Green Animation to see if I can negotiate and take over this company.
I felt like I could take a break.
Now, the schedule is full again.
And this movie, "Charge", is also a bit tight.
It will only take half a month to finish the semi-finals and finals of "Voice of Dark Gold".
Han Zhou will definitely keep an eye on the TV series editing.
Don't think about doing anything else in the next half month.
Then there is only half a month left, and I don’t know what will happen then.
"Time is very tight..."
After being away from home for so long, I am finally going back.
When Han Zhou's mother Shen Chaozhen heard that her son was coming back, she went straight to the vegetable market without caring that it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when she got home.
Han's father, Han Dongcheng, also strolled back home.
