Chapter 253 Duke Yansheng and the Foreskin (1)
ps: Well, I admit that I didn’t write about fun in the previous chapter, this chapter is a supplement... By the way, the previous chapter has been refined, and it has changed from 6k to 7k. Welcome to taste the authentic version.
The next day, Kim Jong-ming refused the crew's request to send a car to pick it up early in the morning, but chose to have breakfast at Eun-di's house and waited for his former assistant Wang Zhongbing. Then, just like many years ago, Wang Zhongbing drove the car, carrying Kim Jong-ming and Eun-di who was riding the car, and the three of them went to the set of Shashang District together.
By the way, Jin Zhongming and Wang Zhongbing chatted all the way, making them laugh and full of energy, which made the beloved who was watching the other side stunned... The other party was obviously hungover for half a night, and then did not sleep in the middle of the night. Where did they get so much energy?
I don't know how much I got, but when the car parked in a parking lot far from the set, Endi Zhiji chose to take the lead. She could see that Kim Jong-ming must have something to tell his confidant that she didn't need to learn to listen to some messy things like last night... It would be no good for me to listen to too much of that kind of thing.
Sure enough, behind Endi who was trotting away, Jin Zhongming and Wang Zhongbing walked slowly along the road at the foot of Heshan, and various random topics also unfolded.
"How is it?" Kim Jong-ming asked very broadly.
"Very good." Wang Zhongbing answered calmly. Of course he knew what his job was. "Our Korean Taobao has become the actual main body of Korean e-commerce and has also become a pillar industry in Busan. Moreover, because of the choice of geographical location, our RB on the other side of the sea has also gained enough influence and market share..."
"Don't say too much about this kind of thing." Kim Jong-ming didn't suspect that these words were fake. The combination of emerging industries, the combination of the Internet and the real economy, plus the nature of monopoly, wouldn't be strange if there was no such level of development, but he didn't want to hear these words today. "Do you think there are any problems with the development of the enterprise until now?"
"You mean?"
"For example, sleeping on the credit line, people are floating, and the personnel in the company are rigid... roughly this is the case."
Wang Zhongbing followed Jin Zhongming in silence for a while before he spoke again: "It may be like this kind of thing, but I can't say it, and I have no right to say it..."
Jin Zhongming smiled slightly, and of course he also understood what the other party meant.
By the way, although Wang Zhongbing sent himself to Busan for supervision, he was more of it in supervision of financial power. As for what he said just now, to be honest, it was not within the other party's authority, so it was "not easy to say". And to put it bluntly, Wang Zhongbing was just an amateur in these matters, so he was "not qualified to say it".
If you want to say it, you are just flattering.
"Zhong Ming, are you going to take advantage of the fact that you are in Busan and clean up here?" After thinking about it, Wang Zhongbing could only guess so.
"Not that conspiracy theory." Kim Jong-ming replied with a relaxed look. "I'm just planning to expand my business scope and establish a new company related to e-commerce in Seoul, but in fact it is an independent new company to stimulate the old company..."
"This is the most appropriate thing." Wang Zhongbing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "But if this kind of thing succeeds and loses, it will naturally be fine if it is done. If it cannot be done, it may make Busan look down on you..."
"I'm thinking too much." Kim Jong-ming replied jokingly, "I'm afraid of making money!"
Wang Zhongbing immediately closed his mouth again. When he reached middle age, some of his edges had long been worn out.
In this way, the two of them went around and saw the harbor under the sand appearing in their eyes. The topic was about the sea view, the Busan Film Festival, Li Yongguan, and naturally they also mentioned the things that Kim Jong-ming had been preparing for. Wang Zhongbing, as Kim Jong-ming's confidant, naturally did not hide these things from him.
"It's okay if you get something else, will 10% be too much?" In contrast to when he was young, Wang Zhongbing, who had been in Busan for several years, seemed extremely sensitive to numbers. "This is 10% of the total revenue of an industry! Too much!"
"You're thinking too much." Jin Zhongming replied lightly. "I'm using my interests to create a new class. How can I succeed if I don't give up proportional returns to the entire industry?"
Wang Zhongbing was silent again. After all, this topic seemed a bit too big for him, making him afraid to answer.
"And." Kim Jong-ming, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and smiled. "Where is really 10%, maybe it's only 5%.
Wang Zhongbing immediately laughed again. Of course, he also understood the meaning of this. The control of the foundation is in Kim Jong-ming's hands. The real bleeding is actually only 10% of the remaining theaters that were forcibly brought in. Kim Jong-ming manipulated the foundation with "private investment", and maybe when his left and right hands change, the money will be returned.
"Of course." Kim Jong-ming continued to shake his head and smiled. "The most important point here is that the Korean film industry is too strict... All profits are settled from theaters. No matter how you charge taxes, 50% of all box offices belong to theaters... It's too easy to make money."
Now, Wang Zhongbing finally smiled with a joke. By the way, he was watching the development of South Korea's Taobao in Busan. Although he did not participate in the business, as Kim Jong-ming's representative director, at least he had more business knowledge than before.
You should know that the so-called theaters and theaters are actually two completely different concepts. Among them, theaters are responsible for scheduling films, which are theoretically distributors; while theaters refer to the specific commercial places where movies are displayed, where movies are not only displayed, but also popcorn can be sold. At the same time, a hot pot restaurant can be opened downstairs to sell instant noodles.
But generally speaking, no matter which mainstream movie country it is, the share of these two companies is indeed about 50%, which is the same as South Korea.
But please remember that this is the share of the two families eating together, and it is theoretically.
So what is the reality? In fact, most countries with large film markets have taken far lower than the theoretical part due to various reality, while the theaters share much more than nominally.
The reasons for this are very complicated. There are various hidden and unspoken rules and means such as stealing box offices; there are also reasons why good theaters have high freedom in real market environments, and theaters dare not not give the other party a good share of their income; there are even reasons why theaters eat away the dividends of cultural policies and have to pinch their noses to make concessions to theaters.
Let me say something more here. In fact, this is why Kim Jong-ming originally intended to spend so much effort on the so-called "cinema chain". His so-called China Mega Cinema chain should actually be China Mega Cinema chain, because China's theaters are not open to the public, but on the other hand, because of the various reasons mentioned above, opening a theater in China is indeed very profitable.
In addition, there are various complex agents and issuers in the market, with more interests and knowledge in the middle!
Anyway, just keep a little gossip, just remember one thing, that is, the film market situation in most countries is very complicated. Among the 50% shared by theaters and theaters, the loss of interests is very serious. Most of the time, this number is actually just a number.
So what about South Korea? Sorry, the Korean film market...haha, there is a national situation here!
First, the market is very prosperous. South Korea has nearly two thousand screens, and there is no doubt that Koreans have enthusiasm for watching movies. This industry is indeed very profitable.
Second, the supervision is strict, not only the national ticket price is unified, but all tickets are also connected to the Internet. Which movie theater you sells a ticket through which theater you have, the Korean Film Revitalization Committee will immediately collect data on the computer. It is unimaginable that the so-called cinema wants to steal money from a serious way!
Third, it is extremely monopoly! I just said that there are 2,000 screens in South Korea, so how many of the three major theaters are there? The answer is about 500 each. In other words, if these three companies have decided on things, all the other small theaters and theaters must be recognized with their noses, and even the government must be recognized with their noses, and the entire industry must be recognized with their noses.
Fourth, the monopoly is extremely strong... This is not repeated, because the monopoly just now refers to horizontal monopoly, and this monopoly is vertical. For example, before Kim Jong-ming took action, there was CGV behind CJ Film, and there was Shobo behind Meijia Cinema. This is actually connected together. After Kim Jong-ming took action, this vertical monopoly became closer. In this case, the so-called agency issuance commission, which accounts for about 10% of the industry's total box office, is actually all-in-one in real big theaters!
Finally, it is also the most terrifying. Compared with small theaters and various small theaters, the three major theaters are basically managed vertically. The so-called vertical management is also very simple, that is, theaters and theaters are one, or theaters belong to the industry of theaters. In this case, no matter how you calculate it, this 50% is the owner of this theater. The so-called theaters are actually the place responsible for serving customers.
What's more, don't forget that there is also the so-called cultural support policy. The cultural support dividends of the South Korean government have been swallowed up by these three theaters... Well, foreign movies come to South Korea, I'm sorry, the unified 15% share, and the remaining 85% are all from theaters. The cultural popularization of niche movies? Art films? Sorry, please hand them over to public theaters, I won't serve you!
In short, with the monopoly and integration measures, the theater chains in South Korea are real **oss, and their 50% are real 50%, and there is no discount! The three major theater chains are real vampires, the harvesters of the entire industry, and everyone is working for them!
The so-called landlord collecting rent is a joke in other countries, but in the Korean film industry, it is simply too vivid!
So, in the Korean-style film market environment, there is now half a village... Ah, Kim Jong-ming, who has a thousand screens in hand, said that everyone should reduce rent and interest rates together, and give 10% of the bottom line of the industry to provide the bottom of the industry... What, what's wrong?
lt Xin's family is not convinced, let's talk about it. Who dares to disagree with others?
"What should we do with the Directors Association?" After thinking for a while, Wang Zhongbing finally asked the most critical question. "That group of people is actually quite powerful, and this time they are the group that has suffered the most losses. Will they be willing?"
"Actually." Jin Zhongming glanced back at Wang Zhongbing, who had already entered middle-aged, and then stopped. He was not afraid of speaking too much in front of his confidant. "Brother Zhongbing, to put it bluntly, this is a game of Yan Shenggong doing charity."
Wang Zhongbing was confused: "I know the title of the descendants of Confucius by the Chinese emperor, and I know the charity of Busan for many years, but I have to do it together..."
"In the Qing Dynasty, whenever there was a disaster in Shandong, Yan Shenggong from Qufu had to lead the organization of disaster relief!" As he said, Jin Zhongming turned his head and looked at Shaxia Harbour not far away. He didn't know if he was looking at Shandong on the other side of the sea... But the direction seemed to be wrong, and it seemed to be RB there. "For example, in a small disaster, Yan Shenggong was willing to give up five hundred taels of silver, the prefect donated two hundred taels, the famous literati and doctors in the city donated fifty taels, and ordinary gentry donated twenty taels, and each medium-sized merchant in the city has received more than ten thousand taels of silver!"
"It's really... quite similar." Wang Zhongbing felt a little smell.
"Of course, the disaster relief in that era must have the characteristics of that era." Jin Zhongming continued to tell the story in a calm tone. "After getting more than 10,000 taels of silver, Yan Shenggong took away five thousand taels first because he wrote a plaque for disaster relief... the pen fee!"
Wang Zhongbing was stunned and almost turned his mind.
"Then the prefect took another 2,000 taels because he dispatched the yamen runners to maintain order. The other literati and officials received the return twice the investment amount because they came forward to shout slogans. The rich gentry and households also took their money at the original price because they sat and watched. In the end, the remaining 500 taels were left to the yamen runners to rescue the disaster... Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem." Although I understood what Kim Jong-ming meant, Wang Zhongbing was still amused and crying. "I don't know what kind of virtues the yamen runners in China in the Ming and Qing dynasties are, but if they are placed on the Li family's North Korea, the soap officials and yamen runners at the bottom can give the victims fifty taels, which is extremely honest... I guess they will only spend five taels of silver to buy some Chenmi, and then force a pot of iron pot, and let the victims chop firewood by themselves, and finally make a pot of porridge to make a look."
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded repeatedly. "You have actually learned a good history... But Brother Zhongbing, I ask you, even so, aren't the victims grateful to Yan Shenggong who gave them food?"
"Of course I'll be grateful. He is the descendant of the saints, and he is the only one who came out to organize disaster relief. Even if something goes wrong, it's just these yamen runners who are corrupt and abused the law." Wang Zhongbing answered quickly and learned from one example. "As for the prefect, the literati and the rich gentry, they were all convinced by the righteous deeds of Yansheng Gong, because they either took money or got famous, but they all relied on the fame of the Yansheng Gong Mansion to do this. And those small merchants who lost money... would never dare to grin. Otherwise, the prefect would let them know what it means to break the door, and the literati and the gentry would let them know what it means to govern the country, and even make some people angry. Maybe someone would incite the disaster victims to say that it was Chenmi sold by this family, and the disaster victims would burn your whole family in minutes."
"Brother Zhongbing has indeed become much older." Kim Jong-ming replied with a smile.
"I have experienced so much." Wang Zhongbing smiled bitterly. "I am nothing in Seoul, but in Busan, I have seen a lot of charity games with your name..."
"But I am not Yan Sheng Gong." Kim Jong-ming said frankly. "I just need to get my own money back. And my foundation is not the kind you said, nor is it the kind of charitable foundation used by the church to lend usury... In any case, I will let it truly fulfill its mission of rescue, and then it will be a game for the gentry to double return... In this case, what happened to the Directors Association? If they are not convinced, they should be wary of the victims while going to settle accounts with the gentry who have greed for money, and what should I do with me, a saint?!"
Wang Zhongbing laughed again. He really didn't know what to say... Indeed, who should I look for whom? Such a good Yan Shenggong couldn't find him with a lantern!
"By the way, are you familiar with Han Jin Shipping?" After a topic was said, Kim Jong-ming continued to walk towards the set in front, but he still didn't have any idle words.
"Of course." Wang Zhongbing, who quickly followed, replied with a lot of laughter. "Not to mention that they are all in Busan, even if they are from all over the world, we e-commerce players cannot not know those who do logistics, right?"
"Then call me for thanking them." Jin Zhongming pointed to the southern Shaxia Harbour. "Just say that the scenery will be much better after these arms are put down..."
"Oh... OK!" Wang Zhongping didn't understand why, but he still agreed quickly.
The coastal city in the morning was sunny and seemed to be a great time to work, but when he turned around and arrived at the intersection in front of the set, Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but frown:
"What's wrong?"
"Hey... the fans of Ronghe Oppa!" Endi, who was blocked in front of the intersection, turned around helplessly and explained. "I heard that their oppa came here to shoot TV series, and it blocked it early in the morning. You know, Ronghe Oppa is now in the general trend, and in Busan, he is even more standard male lead... better than you."
Kim Jong-ming didn't care about Endi's explanation, but tilted his head and looked at the group of crazy fans in front of him seriously. To be honest, he felt that no fans had appeared in front of him for a long time.
I saw this group of female fans lined up in neat queues, wearing T-shirts and jackets of the same color, holding temporary signs, and shouting neat slogans, blocking the intersection tightly... Even whenever a figure passed by the crew, someone could not help but slogans and shouting oppas, hoping that the other party was Zheng Ronghe whom he had been thinking about day and night.
After a while, I probably found that the three of them were blocked outside. FNC's assistant took the lead. A group of crew members rushed out and began to do some work with the fans with sweat under their eyes... But it didn't work at all! In fact, this stimulated the fans, who began to shout the name of "Ronghe Oppa" in the higher-pitched Busan dialect! Some even began to attack the crew!
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
And Kim Jong-ming couldn't help laughing with a relaxed look at this time... It's really interesting!
