Chapter 1478

Simon leaned on the sofa, turned over the script in his hand, listened to Lin Suyi's words, and said, "you can do what you want, but don't expect too much. There are too many light and dark thresholds for China's film and television industry, and it's impossible to be big."

Lin Su hasn't spoken yet. Lin Lan has come over and handed a cup of tea to Simon. He sat down next to him. He doesn't agree and said, "isn't brocade book done very well?"

Simon shook his head: "I just laid out here casually. It's only been like this for a few years. What does it mean?"

"That means my brother-in-law is very powerful."

"That's right," Simon smiled and continued in Lin Su's eyes, "but more importantly, China's market is already here. When I dig a little, it's such a big gold mine. Why didn't anyone do that before?"

Lin Lan reacted and repeated Simon's words: "too many restrictions."

Simon raised a finger and 'tinkled' on the cup he was holding: "bingo!"

Lin Su interrupted: "since you can do it, it shows that the restrictions have been continuously liberalized. Many reforms have been made in recent years, and there will certainly be more adjustments in the future."

"This is the threshold on the surface," Simon said. "I just said that there are hidden rules under the water. In short, don't expect too much. If China's film and television industry wants to form a scale, it will take at least ten years. Moreover, even after ten years, it will only have a scale, and it will still be very chaotic."

The Lin sisters were puzzled for a moment.

Simon didn't elaborate.

It's hard to say.

Like movies, do movies make money? Perhaps 10 or 20 years later, the public will see films breaking new box office records every year, one billion, two billion, five billion... However, compared with the annual output of thousands of films in China more than a decade later, the whole industry is losing money.

Why lose money?

This is another interesting topic. The reasons are different at different stages.

Besides TV dramas.

The best era of China's TV drama industry is actually the decade around the millennium.

Not before, after that, Simon thought there was a small node.

An old drama bone, who created classic series such as Prime Minister Liu Luoguo and miracle doctor Xilai Le, took part in a project because the producer wanted to lengthen the series from 30 episodes to 33 episodes. The old drama bone objected and said that you could not do so. It was irresponsible to the series and the audience. Finally, he couldn't stand it and took the producer to court.

Then it was blocked.

Then the public opinion also fell to the ground and attacked the old opera bones, such as opera bullies, barabarabara.

Then, it's nothing to stretch from 30 episodes to 33 episodes. In the following years, 40 episodes, 50 episodes, 80 episodes and 120 episodes of "big plays" come one after another. If you do a TV play with only 20 or 30 episodes, you're embarrassed to say hello when you go out.

Therefore, the TV series can't be watched.

Is the audience stupid?

Not stupid.

No response, just because everyone doesn't care.

Moreover, the key question is, who doesn't have time to watch a TV play that can finish 20 episodes but lengthens to 80 episodes?

Then, the TV industry began to roll in.

The form of inner volume is that fewer and fewer people watch the play. What should we do? The answer is to catch the only people left and pull them hard. If they are dead, count the ball.

Here comes the problem.

If you talk about money and hurt your feelings, everyone will have a problem.

The result is a vicious circle.

Some people may think that it's not right. Twenty years later, China's TV drama industry is also very prosperous. There are still so many dramas every year, which is a huge system of 1.8 billion. The rich are very rich. Although, the quality of the film is often very bad. In short, it is still very prosperous. What's the matter?

The truth is, because the whole thing has nothing to do with the TV play itself.

It has nothing to do with the TV play itself. Of course, the quality of the drama doesn't matter. If you can make do, you have to make do. After all, no one cares.

The problem comes again.

What does that have to do with?

Um

This is another big problem.

So, does China's film and television industry have no future?

yes.

Like a movie, after a period of chaos and impetuosity, it gradually returns to the right track.

The constantly breaking box office record makes the circle understand that you can only get a high box office by making movies that the audience likes. You can't make do as carelessly as TV dramas. After all, the cost of painting the box office of movies is too high, and it may not be useful.

It should also be noted here that it is the film that the audience likes, not the "good film" praised by professional media or film critics in the traditional sense.

Good movies don't necessarily get high box office, because the audience doesn't necessarily like them.

What kind of movies do the audience like?

No one knows.

Hollywood has been tossing around for a hundred years without fully understanding this problem. How many years has the commercialization of Chinese films been? But in any case, if you don't work hard and make do with it, you can't do it.

So there is still a long way to go.

As for the recovery and return of the TV industry, it is a long way to go, who knows.

In a word, it is unlikely that China's film and television industry will only rely on the film and television content itself to become bigger and stronger.

If I just want to make money, I have to adapt to the playing methods of each stage at each stage, instead of naively thinking that as long as I do a good job in film and television, I can become a giant and reach the peak all the way.

Besides, the current brocade book department, why can it reach the brilliant state in just a few years? It happens that Simon has adapted to the playing method of China's film and television industry.

Moreover, fortunately, at present, the playing method of China's film and television industry is still very normal and mainstream. The core is just content, whether TV or film.

Of course, it's not just the content. You also have to have resources, contacts and channels, and these brocade books are not lacking, so they are booming.

Even a little too hot.

Although Simon didn't elaborate, with the intelligence of the Lin sisters and their own environment, he soon caught the key point.

In fact, there is only one. If you only focus on the film and television itself, there is no future.

Lin Su soon gave up some ideas.

If this matter only needs to concentrate on film and television content, she doesn't mind getting involved, but if there are too many things involved, she's a little reluctant.

It's not that Lin Su is not as exquisite as Chen Qing, but that he doesn't want to be so exquisite. The second child will be born soon. She still needs to focus more on her two little babies.

Talking like this, the time soon came to night.

Simon is leaving tomorrow. It's very lively tonight. Lin Su's grandparents, Lin's father and mother, Lin Donglin Xing who returned from the United States during the new year, and Lin Lan and his wife have a dinner together.

It was not until more than eight o'clock that Simon and Lin Su returned to their room after nine o'clock.

He coaxed a little guy to sleep. After taking a bath, they went to bed together and didn't feel sleepy. Turning on the TV, Lin Su said another thing: "a few days ago, the economic and Trade Commission issued a catalogue of the first batch of backward industries to be eliminated. Simon, do you know?"

Simon is looking through some policy documents sent by Chen Qing and is very interested in one of the measures for punishment of financial violations to be released at the end of this month.

One of the famous provisions is the top fine of 300000.

The most well-known case is the case of letting a big eye get 'Buffett Zhao'. The couple manipulated the stock price and made billions. The matter was exposed, and the top penalty was 300000. Well, the two people together, 600000.

Simon once heard about it. His first feeling was absurd. The whole thing was like fun.

However, this is the truth.

However, standing in Simon's current position, he still recognizes this bill.

After all, Simon is also a big player now. Of course, he should raise his hands and feet.

In fact, who doesn't know that the 300000 fine is too untimely. The problem is, of course, everyone should pretend to be confused. After all, too many people have to fish in troubled waters.

Simon nodded when Lin Su mentioned that it was also a recently issued regulation.

After the change of office last year, coupled with the severe economic situation, China's reform pace this year is very large, and various bills, regulations and institutional adjustments are pouring in.

As for the catalogue of the first batch of backward industries to be eliminated, to put it bluntly, it is to cut down a large number of loss making state-owned enterprises that China can no longer afford, relax the access of private capital and further carry out market-oriented reform. The most direct consequence of this incident is layoffs.

A wave of large-scale layoffs, which is much more than the cumulative number of layoffs from the 1980s to 1999.

People who have little in-depth understanding of China's economy often think that China's economy seems to have been going up all the way since the reform and opening up in 1978. It does not experience an economic cycle every ten years like the West.

Not really.

China has also been going through an economic cycle.

From 1978 to 1988, the same decade, the "price breakthrough" policy was launched that year, with the fundamental goal of promoting the transformation from a planned economy to a market economy.

The result failed.

Many people know the result of failure.

all but.

Then there is the current 1999, almost another decade. The Southeast Asian financial crisis that broke out in 1997 did not seem to have affected the mainland, but it was not.

How can it not be able to blow up such a big Chinese mainland?

Due to the impact of the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, other Asian countries have tightened their finances, and Western countries have become cautious in investing in Asia. As a result, the capital flowing into China has been greatly reduced. In addition, China's exports to other parts of Asia have also been seriously impacted by the low demand, which eventually led to serious deflation and deeper overproduction in China since the second half of last year.

Short of money, I can only tighten my belt.

Overproduction, that is now, eliminate backward industries.

In fact, it just sounds better.

Most of the so-called backward industries are not backward at all. The only problem is that these industries, more accurately, are a large number of state-owned enterprises, which not only do not make money, but are constantly losing money and need continuous subsidies from the state finance.

This is not the way.

What's more, there's really not so much money for subsidies.

What can we do?

Can only be eliminated.

In addition to the core industries that are not suitable for opening up, others should be restructured and closed.

The result is a big layoff.

Compared with the big stroke in 1999, China's cutting into the education and training industry many years later is really a small move.

Then, in 2008, there is no need to say more.

Then, in 2015, the impact is actually no less than that in 2008, and it is a long pain and cliff.

In any case, compared with the west, which even depends on waging war to transfer contradictions to survive the economic crisis, China's ability to adapt to the economic cycle is much stronger. Even, several economic cycles after reform and opening up are basically affected by the world economic environment.

For example, in typical 2008, it was completely passive to undertake huge inflation losses for the United States.

inside bedroom.

Simon nodded when Lin Su mentioned the catalogue of the first batch of eliminated backward industries: "I know. What's the matter?"

Lin Su came over and watched the draft "measures for handling financial violations" with the man. He said, "the province has recently given me some enterprise information. You know, they are all of that kind. I hope I can help. There are more than 30 enterprises involving more than 80000 workers. If they can't maintain it, they will all be laid off."

Simon felt the sympathy in Lin Su's words, put his hand around her waist, put his palm on the woman's bulging belly and said, "if only 80000 people, we can afford to raise them in vain. However, you should understand that China's reform is to cut off dependence and wean many people in many industries."

Lin Su leaned on Simon's shoulder and said, "but what do they live on when they lose their job?"

Simon reached out and searched a pile of folders on the bedside table next to him for a moment, and found one to show to Lin Su: "the minimum living security regulations for urban residents, which is also a draft, will be released in the second half of the year."

"I know, but..." Lin Su took it, turned it twice, put it back on the man's knee, raised his eyes and looked over with a little emotion: "you just don't want to take care of it?"

Simon kissed the woman on the forehead, smiled and said: "There are 80000 people in more than 30 enterprises, with an average size of two or three thousand people. Obviously, they are all large companies. You know, in my concept, the key to managing enterprises is to manage people. If I really take over, 80000 people are all state-owned enterprises in China, involving various types of staffing and complex personnel relations and interest chains from top to bottom, how can I manage people Come on? And if I don't fight for control and just invest money, the result is even more imaginable. I can leave a pair of underwear when I go in a custom suit, gold watch and famous shoes. "

Lin Su couldn't help laughing when Simon finally said it. Thinking about it, he thought it was true. He could only sigh and said, "well, I can't choose two or three. If I can't do it well, you certainly don't mind, right?"

Simon nodded, "well."

In fact, Westeros system has been acquiring enterprises in mainland China in recent years by means of annexation or equity participation, but most of them, in fact, are quite high-quality companies with good performance and often excellent management teams.

At this stage, China's accommodation to foreign capital also makes it easy for the overseas capital of Westeros system to achieve its purpose.

Since you can eat the most delicious fat, of course, you won't go shopping for those leftovers.

Even if vulture investment often means more profits, the problem is that this is not the United States, nor some other western countries where Simon can influence the control rules. You want to be a vulture, but you may have no time to talk, and you have become a Chinese meal for local hyenas.

In short, the situation is different this time.

Simon certainly won't give up the idea of hunting in this wave, but he must wait for the opportunity. As for others who take the initiative to send them to the door, it's better not to expect anything.
