"In the modern film industry chain, the producer's share should be more than 50%, but the producer in our country is in a relatively weak position now, and the producer's share is generally less than 45%. In the long run, all the risks are borne by the producer, while the distributor and the cinema line make a lot of money. This is an unhealthy and abnormal phenomenon, which leads many production companies to want to make movies but dare not, for fear of losing everything."
Speaking of the current situation of the domestic film industry, Ouyang Yuntian's face was full of helplessness and sadness. "This has led to imported blockbusters firmly occupying half of the domestic film market. If it weren't for the country's adoption of the quota restriction policy for imported films after joining the WTO, the domestic film market would have been completely occupied by imported blockbusters …"
Listening to Ouyang Yuntian's story, Ding Ning's mood gradually became heavy. No wonder the country was determined to vigorously promote the traditional culture of Shenzhou. It turned out that the cultural invasion of Western countries had been so serious.
If they left it alone and let it go on for a long time, the new generation of Chinese people would probably be gradually eroded by the subtle influence of Western films, and eventually become a race that lost its traditional culture.
After joining the World Trade Organization, Shenzhou opened the door to the international community. In recent years, it had made great economic development and progress, but opportunities often coexisted with challenges, and the international situation faced by Shenzhou had become more and more severe and complicated.
The cultural and economic invasion of Western powers also crazily poured into the country like scourges and fierce beasts. Although the country had made a series of judicial countermeasures, Western medicine, movies, luxury goods, cars, electronic products, Western-style restaurants, coffee, red wine, and even Christmas and Valentine's Day, which were foreign holidays, all entered the country unexpectedly and strongly. The saddest thing was that they were also crazily pursued by many Chinese people.
Looking at the culture of Shenzhou, there was a great difference between the values and the Western outlook on life. For example, in Hollywood blockbusters, more personal heroism was used as a foil. Although it made people's blood boil, it had a strong conflict and opposition with the cultural tradition of Shenzhou.
The most obvious change in the country was the concept of sex. At the end of the 20th century, Chinese people were so simple that a couple walking on the street were embarrassed to hold hands, for fear of being seen as a joke by acquaintances.
But in just a short span of 20 years, it was normal for unmarried couples to kiss on the streets, let alone a couple. Even if they were not a couple, it was not strange for them to cuddle on the streets.
Not to mention that Old Wang next door had an affair with someone else's wife today, Old Zhang upstairs had been cuckolded the next day, and Old Li's daughter-in-law had a one-night stand with someone else the day after. These kinds of scandals were not uncommon, but they were very popular.
An elderly man shook his head bitterly and sighed, "The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day. People's hearts are no longer what they used to be.
But most of the young people were already used to these things and even laughed at those old people for being hypocritical. Men and women loved each other and did whatever they wanted. If they got along, they would get together. If they didn't, they would separate. What was there to make a fuss about? Look at how free and unrestrained the foreigners were. If they got along, they would separate.
Wasn't this unhealthy social atmosphere and sorrowful phenomenon the product of the subtle influence of Western culture?
A strong sense of mission that he had never felt before made Ding Ning feel heavy in his heart. At the same time, he gave birth to a strong fighting spirit, and his eyes became firm.
If he had acted only to protect Song Ziyi and increase his reputation before, then at this moment, he really wanted to do something for the country to change this passive situation.
Even if his strength alone was limited, if he didn't do it, someone would have to do it. Moreover, he had millions of fans who supported him and loved him. He also had his confidantes and like-minded friends. He also had the powerful backing of the country.
"Expansion. I want to make Tiangong Entertainment the world's largest entertainment media and film and television production company. Isn't it risky for the producer? It doesn't matter. Then we'll do distribution and cinema together, and build Tiangong Entertainment into an entertainment carrier that integrates screenplay writing, production, editing, publicity, distribution, and screening. "
Ding Ning knocked on the table in an unquestionable manner and made a decision loudly and clearly.
"Ah!"
Ouyang Yuntian thought that Ding Ning had decided to retreat after his statement, but he didn't expect it to backfire. On the contrary, it made him more determined to be bigger and stronger. He couldn't help looking at him with a dull face and really couldn't figure out his brain circuit.
Ding Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and said unhurriedly, "President Ouyang, Bai Qing strongly recommended you in front of me, saying that you are a person with ideas, courage, and ability. I believe in his vision and your ability. But now, it seems that you don't have the ability and courage to match his recommendation."
"I … No, it's just that your idea is too idealistic, boss …"
Ouyang Yuntian's face turned red, and he anxiously argued.
Ding Ning reached out to interrupt him and said impatiently, "I don't want to hear any reasons or excuses. Some things, even if they are difficult, have to be done. I don't ask about the process, I only ask about the result. Now give me an answer. Can you do it? Whether you can or not, I need a positive answer. Now, please answer. "
Ouyang Yuntian's face was cloudy and cloudy, and he cursed Ding Ning's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. This was simply forcing him to make a choice.
If he answered yes, he must do what Ding Ning said, but was it possible? He didn't have any hope at all; but if he answered no, Ding Ning would probably ask him to get out of here immediately, and even the 5% shares would be taken back.
No matter how he answered, it was a dilemma for him, which made him very confused.
"If you think you can't do it with your ability, I won't blame you. I will arrange another capable person to take over your position. But you can rest assured that your shares are still yours. Whether you choose to stay at home and enjoy dividends every year or choose to be the head of a department in the company, for the sake of your many years of service to the company, I will promise you. After all, I still have to give face to Bai Qing."
Ding Ning, like an experienced old hunter, said earnestly and enticingly, "If you think you have the ability to take this job, then if you want money, give me money. If you want people, give me people. If you want relationships, I will be responsible for clearing up the relationship for you so that you don't have any worries. If you still can't meet my requirements, then you will disappoint me too much."
Ouyang Yuntian suddenly raised his head, with disbelief and a trace of inexplicable excitement in his eyes. "If you want money, give me money? If you want people, give them people? If I want relationships, you will help me clear up the relationship? Is this true? "
"That's a promise!"
Ding Ning smiled and reached out his hand.
A trace of struggle flashed across Ouyang Yuntian's face, but soon he became firm. He took a deep breath to calm down the turbulent mood in his heart, shook Ding Ning's hand heavily, and said in a deep voice with firm eyes, "I can't take back my words!"
As the executive president of Tiangong Entertainment, Ouyang Yuntian was also a well-known figure in the circle. He didn't have the face to retire to the second line to enjoy dividends every year, or go to a department to be a small supervisor, but this was not enough to move him. After all, he knew that it was almost impossible to make the company reach the level that Ding Ning said.
But when Ding Ning promised to give him money, people, and help him clear up the relationship, he was tempted. If he couldn't achieve what Ding Ning wanted, then he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Who was he? He was Ouyang Yuntian. In terms of ability, he was also one of the best in the circle. Otherwise, he would not have developed Tiangong Entertainment, a playful company, into one of the top ten brokerage companies in the country in just a few years.
In fact, he was an ambitious person. He wanted to go higher and farther, and he had proposed to Bai Qing to expand the scale and get involved in more fields.
Unfortunately, Bai Qing had too many constraints, too many concerns, too many considerations, and his ambition was not here. Thus, he refused his proposal, which made his hot blood gradually calm down, and he lived a muddling life.
But now, Ding Ning's words ignited his long-extinguished passion again. How many times could he fight in life? Since the new boss had this ambition and ability, why didn't he seize this opportunity to realize his ideals and ambitions? At worst, he would fail, which was better than living a mediocre life.
Ding Ning smiled. He believed in Bai Qing's judgment of people, and he also believed that Ouyang Yuntian was not willing to be mediocre. He believed that as long as he was given a platform as a springboard, he would inevitably burst into sparks beyond everyone's imagination.
"Now, the first task I give you is to find a way to incorporate Cheng Wenhai, the screenwriter of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy Companion, and the director Pan Yigang, into our Tiangong Entertainment."
Ding Ning's words shocked Ouyang Yuntian to death. The first task made Ouyang Yuntian dumbfounded, and he complained repeatedly, "Why is it impossible? Both of them are famous for being unruly. Even if the old chairman of Xunda has a close relationship with Pan Yigang, he didn't take them in in the end. How can we do it?"
"No, what the old chairman of Xunda can't do doesn't mean that we can't do it. What's more, times have changed."
Ding Ning said with confidence, "They are all old, and their original youthful vigor and sharpness have been smoothed by the cruel reality. Otherwise, why do you think they would agree to shoot a TV series with Xunda?"
Ouyang Yuntian's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully, "You mean, they are now ready to compromise with reality?"
"It can't be said that they are compromising with reality. They are proud people, but they have to bow down for a few buckets of rice."
Ding Ning took out his mobile phone, looked at the text message, and said with a chuckle, "I was also wondering before why they would lower their status and agree to shoot a TV series that they said had no artistic value with their temperament and character, so I asked someone to investigate their recent situation, and then I understood what was going on."
"What's going on?"
There was no doubt that this question aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and even Xiaoyao and Wen Rourou, two outsiders of the circle, asked with a face full of gossip.
"Director Pan has a daughter who is going to study abroad this year, but because of his love and pursuit of the art of film, the films he has shot for so many years are only good but not popular. Although he has won a lot of international awards, they have not brought him any material help, so he is so short of money that he can't even pay for his daughter's study abroad expenses. His wife has supported him silently for so many years, but this time, she can't bear it anymore and gave him an ultimatum. If he can't earn enough money to pay for his daughter's study abroad before she goes abroad, they will divorce."
Ding Ning said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng is in the same situation as him. He is a scholar and regards money as dirt. He is scolded by his family, saying that he can't even feed himself with the money he brings home. His father is ill and hospitalized, and it was his wife who begged his grandparents to borrow money to pay for the hospitalization. Therefore, this time, both of them are forced to lower their status to shoot this TV series." Ding Ning said with a smile. "Mr.
