Ye Qing's tone was not serious, but all the big shots present could hear a sense of irrefutability.
After the two jokes just now, this group of big shots had a new understanding of the strength of Monster Industries.
But ~
There was no problem with the copyright of the TV series. No matter what the user base of holographic glasses was, they would only make a steady profit.
Movie copyright was different, that was their root.
The status of a film and television company had always been based on how many popular movies they could make.
If they could make an international movie recognized by European and American countries and then win a bunch of awards, their status would be even more stable.
"Mr. Ye, please understand." Wei Zhixiang, the head of Na Mei Pictures, explained with a smile, "In addition to the concerns of piracy and the user base, we have other concerns."
"The two videos just now shocked me, but Mr. Ye, you also understand that the shooting standards of Hua Xia's movies are still a long way from being world-class."
"We are currently more inclined to shoot urban plot movies and action movies in ancient times."
"These two themes, I personally think that moving them to holographic glasses will not give much of the picture advantage."
Wei Zhixiang lowered his voice and said, "I think that the sci-fi blockbusters from Hollywood are more suitable to be moved to holographic glasses."
"Look at Avengers III, which was released two months ago. It's a sci-fi masterpiece that was completely shot with IMAX 3D cameras. This kind of camera can reach a full-frame format of 1.9: 1. The light and shadow colors not only restore reality but also give the audience a wider field of vision and immersive special effects. "
"This kind of image-capturing equipment with the highest resolution in the world today is the only magic weapon used by Hollywood to shoot sci-fi blockbusters."
"And what about us?" Wei Zhixiang was a little self-deprecating. "We're shooting pseudo-3D, and there are only a few directors in China who can make good movies. Everyone is using a Sony F55, which is considered high-end equipment. With a domestic camera, you dare to call yourself a blockbuster director. "
"Domestic movies, when shown on holographic glasses, can't show the advantage of the picture at all."
This reason was sufficient.
In fact, today's Hollywood blockbusters in the global market have entered a technical bottleneck where projection equipment gradually can't keep up with the development of film sources.
They spent a lot of time and effort shooting movies with IMAX 3D cameras, but looking at the whole world, how many IMAX cinemas could provide them with perfect picture quality?
There were only a hundred or so IMAX screens in the country.
There were 400 IMAX screens in the United States. Including Hua Xia, there were less than 800 IMAX screens in the world.
There were less than 800 screens in the world, so how could they satisfy the demand of a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster?
The appearance of the holographic glasses perfectly solved this problem.
As long as they wore the holographic glasses, everyone could have a [Real IMAX Giant Screen Cinema] that belonged only to them.
Domestic movies were even better. They did not have such requirements at all.
Not to mention IMAX movies, there were only a few fake 3D movies in China in a year.
In the eyes of these big shots, no matter how amazing the imaging effect of the holographic glasses was, it would be a waste if they couldn't make a qualified film.
"Without your participation, how can I use the business case to convince others?" Ye Qing smiled and said to him, "Hollywood is indeed the most suitable for holographic glasses, but Hollywood's participation is definitely not as easy as inviting you here and actively persuading you to join."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it is impossible for Hollywood to put the movie rights into our virtual world without paying a huge price."
"…"
Wei Zhixiang thought that Monster Industries was going against the United States. Now he no longer dared to doubt whether Monster Industries would take Hollywood seriously.
Even Apple and Boeing, the proudest companies in the United States, were complaining under the feet of Monster Industries. Not to mention one Hollywood, even if there were ten, what would it matter?
But now it was not Hollywood's problem. It was the Hua Xia film industry that thought Monster Industries was taking their cake.
Wei Zhixiang took a deep breath. In fact, the previous statements were just some foreshadowing and excuses.
The following was the core reason why they refused to agree.
Wei Zhixiang took a deep breath and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "Mr. Ye, let's not beat around the bush. I have a question on my side. Suppose we put the latest movie rights into the virtual world. Then with the popularity of holographic glasses, will the interests of our offline cinema lines be infringed? "
Ye Qing put away his smile and said seriously, "Yes!"
"In that case, I hope Mr. Ye can be considerate. We can't take the latest movie rights out of consideration for our own interests." Wei Zhixiang was a little surprised that Ye Qing would admit it so easily.
"Mr. Ye, in the hands of these people, we control nearly 50% of the offline cinemas in Hua Xia."
"The rest are also theater operators from all over the country who have joined our cinema lines and signed box office sharing agreements."
"We … are responsible for our own interests and those of these people."
As Wei Zhixiang expressed the biggest concern buried in everyone's hearts, the atmosphere of the meeting ushered in the most serious and quiet moment.
All the big shots looked at Ye Qing without saying a word, waiting for the final result.
There was no eternal friendship in this world, only eternal interests.
It was the same between countries, and it was even more so between companies.
No matter how powerful Monster Industries was, it was impossible to make them spit out the national cinema lines that they had worked so hard to set up for more than ten years with just a few words.
To put it bluntly, Spielberg had lost money in making movies.
There were countless examples of investment companies almost going bankrupt because of the failure of an expensive movie.
But as long as they held the offline cinema lines in their hands, this golden goose that laid eggs, they would never lack the capital to start over again.
Who didn't know that the box office of Hua Xia's movies was like a sesame pole, getting more popular year by year?
At the beginning of this year, the box office gross of Hua Xia's movies in the first quarter surpassed the United States and stood on the throne of the world for the first time.
At this time, letting them do it themselves to harm the interests of the offline cinema lines.
What was the difference between that and taking their lives?
"Regarding this point, our company carefully considered it when we proposed this plan." Ye Qing lifted his back from the chair and then stood up.
"Our cooperation must always pay attention to the word 'win-win'."
"Of course, I don't want to cause your interests to be damaged because of us."
"However, with the rise of a new technology, the old things will always be eliminated. Just like the videotape of the past and the VCD of the 1990s. "
"When our holographic glasses are popularized in the hands of the majority of consumers like the magic crystal phone."
"If you don't cooperate, you will become our competitors and be eliminated by us."
"Eliminate us?"
Someone showed an obvious look of disbelief. "Ye … President, we shouldn't have any business conflicts."
His subtext was: What do you have to eliminate us?
Ye Qing walked to the middle of everyone's line of sight. His eyes were like lightning. "As Uncle Xiang said just now, he thinks that those sci-fi blockbusters in Hollywood are more suitable to be shown on holographic glasses."
"Then, Hollywood doesn't have a cinema line in Hua Xia."
"When our holographic glasses are popularized and prove that our video coding technology is unbreakable through technology."
"I want to ask you, if we take out the same box office share price as you, or even lower, to take away the Hollywood blockbusters that originally belonged to your cinema line."
"Do we still have any business conflicts?"
"…"
Silence!
They were struck by lightning, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
The young CEO spoke of a terrifying idea that they had not considered.
If they moved the movie copyright to the holographic glasses, the offline cinema line would suffer losses.
But Hollywood, which did not have to worry about the cinema line, did not have to care about this!
When Hollywood saw that the picture quality of Monster Industries' holographic glasses was so good, it was afraid that even without the invitation of Monster Industries, they would most likely come to the door and take the initiative to join.
Good soldiers were matched with good guns. The directors who worked hard to make IMAX giant screen movies would choose who to screen their movies. It seemed to be obvious who they would choose.
Without Hollywood blockbusters, what changes would happen to Hua Xia's physical cinema line?
A literary saying was that without Hollywood, Hua Xia's offline cinema would be like a long night.
A crude saying was that Hua Xia's offline cinema would become a disfigured girl.
This time, the big shots in the room had to start thinking about the consequences of rejecting Monster Industries.
Business competition had always been bloody and cruel. Once there was a business conflict, those who did not cooperate were opponents.
"Of course, I don't want this to happen."
Ye Qing waved to everyone, "So in order to show our sincerity, when we cooperate with you, we are willing to take out more box office shares to make up for it."
"The box office share you signed with the participating cinema line is generally 5.5%, and the cinema line keeps 5.5%. If it's with us, we can only take 40%. "
Wei Zhixiang, the head of Na Mei Pictures, who controlled the most cinema lines, quickly spoke, "But nearly 50% of the cinema lines in the country are our own."
His subtext was that they could produce and sell the nearly 50% of the cinema lines in the country. They would not give a dime, and it would all go into their own pockets.
"Everyone, Rome was not built in a day."
"Similarly, our holographic glasses will not be popularized in the hands of every consumer in Hua Xia overnight."
"In the future, you will have new movie rights to be released. Of course, it will be released in the offline cinema line at the same time as the online virtual world. "
"Users without holographic glasses will still go to the cinema line to watch."
Speaking of this, Ye Qing paused, "Those users with holographic glasses are likely to find it troublesome, or they are not very interested in the movie, so they did not plan to go to the cinema line."
"But because holographic glasses provide a convenient way to watch videos on mobile phones, they are converted into additional viewing users."
"Everyone ~"
"The day when the offline cinema declines is also the day when you gain a foothold in the virtual reality screening room."
"During this time, you may lose additional profits because of the decline of the offline cinema."
"But this is the general trend."
