China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 637 Arrangement and Thinking

Haotian Media Headquarters Building.

Li Hao and Lao Mouzi were making tea in the tea room on the top floor.

"Director Zhang, you caught me off guard this time!" Li Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You should say hello to me first."

Lao Mouzi said slightly apologetically: "Director Li, I have been thinking about this for a while, and it was only after attending the film festival that I made up my mind."

Zhang Yimou also knew that this matter would definitely bring trouble to the company.

The most obvious thing is that as soon as the A-share market started trading today, the stock price of his film and television company fell sharply, hitting the limit.

"Director Zhang, what are your plans next? Are you still in the company or do you really want to retire completely?" Li Hao asked.

Li Hao is not too worried about the rise and fall of stock prices.

After all, the most important thing for film and television companies is revenue and profits.

Relying on Haotian Media Group, revenue and profits can be very good, and only a quarterly financial report can increase the stock price.

"Forget it if I'm in the company, Yinan is 23 years old, Xiaomo is 41 years old, and the other two children are in school. I have worked hard all my life, and I deserve to enjoy peace and happiness." Lao Mouzi said with a smile: "As for the shares in my hands , it may be divided into four parts and given to four children.”

With that said, Lao Mouzi looked at Li Hao.

After all, the agreement was signed in the first place.

Li Hao nodded: "Director Zhang's shares will naturally be decided by Director Zhang, and the company will not interfere."

Li Hao still respected Lao Mouzi.

Not only because Lao Mouzi has made a lot of money for the company over the years, but also because Lao Mouzi's achievements in the film field deserve Li Hao's respect.

They may have made a lot of money by making movies, but as the boss, Li Hao is the one who really makes the most money.

At this time, Li Hao already understood what Lao Mouzi was thinking.

After all, as his daughter Zhang Mo has established a foothold in Chinese films, and his son has also obtained a degree from the University of California and joined his company, Lao Mouzi no longer needs to worry about his children.

As for the remaining two children, they will go to college one after another. With Lao Mouzi's wealth and reputation, even if they do not do well in the college entrance examination, they can easily be sent to the Ivy League universities in the United States.

For ordinary people, it takes a lot of effort to get into an Ivy League university in the United States.But for people like them, it's actually very easy. Those with money can get a spot by donating a sum of money, and those with connections can get in with a letter of recommendation.

Lao Mouzi is in need of both of these.

Active in the film industry for more than 30 years, Lao Mouzi has connections all over the world.

His friends may not be very rich, but they are definitely people of high status all over the world.

"Director Zhang, after "Galaxy Expedition" is released, find an auspicious day and the company will hold a grand retirement ceremony for you." Li Hao said.

"Forget about the retirement ceremony, right?" Lao Mouzi frowned slightly. He thought that was too high-profile.

But Li Hao insisted: "Director Zhang, this ceremony must be held. When the time comes, I will erect a statue for you so that everyone can pay their respects to you."

"I'm not dead yet~~" Lao Mouzi couldn't laugh or cry.

"When Jordan retired, the Bulls also built a bronze statue for him." Li Hao said, "With Director Zhang's achievements in movies, it's not too much."

Of course, Li Hao said this because it can increase the foundation of Haotian Media.

Lao Mouzi has been with Haotian Media for the past ten years and is Haotian Media's trump card.The director's profession is all about talent. If you can do it, you can do it; if you can't, you can't.

Just like Lao Mouzi, he is a cow!He also gave everything to his children without hiding any secrets, but it was obvious that neither Zhang Mo nor Zhang Yinan showed much difference in performance.

It is not easy to give birth to such a director. It is not as simple as picking one out of ten thousand.

Seeing how determined Li Hao was, Lao Mouzi stopped insisting.

When Lao Mouzi left, Li Hao gave him a few kilograms of tea.

As a person from a tea town, Li Hao also likes to drink tea.

If there is something good at the top, the bottom must follow.

Throughout the Haotian family, tea culture is very popular, and many people also like drinking tea.

The tea given to Lao Mouzi was certainly no ordinary tea.

After Lao Mouzi left, Li Hao called his work assistant.

Now that Lao Mouzi is about to retire, he naturally has to take care of things properly.

and Haotian Media Center, a hall of honor that belongs exclusively to Lao Mouzi.

Originally, the Hall of Honor could be built slowly and within a few years.

Not now, we have to get everything done before Lao Mouzi retreats.

Li Hao doesn't need to do things himself, he just needs to give instructions, and there will naturally be dedicated people to do it.

Including Tong Liya's death ceremony, there is also a dedicated team doing it.

After dealing with these matters, Li Hao looked at the lake outside the window, feeling a little lost in thought. The scene of his own retirement many years later appeared in his mind.

Then I thought about the current situation.

Now the conflicts with the eight major Hollywood studios are becoming more and more acute. Now the eight major Hollywood studios are promoting a policy that allows production companies, distribution companies, and theaters to merge into one.

The eight major Hollywood studios occupy most of the global film market. The visually stunning special effects blockbusters are only one of the reasons for their success. The distribution network all over the world is another pillar of their ability to promote movies to overseas markets.

This distribution network began to be gradually established in the early days of Hollywood's development, initially by hiring agencies and middlemen to sell movies overseas.After World War I, as the United States gradually replaced France as the dominant player in the international film market, American film companies no longer relied on the middleman agency model, but began to distribute films overseas by setting up branches and hiring their own employees to operate them. .

According to statistics, the global distribution network of a major contemporary Hollywood studio employs thousands of people, not counting short-term project employees. The manpower and office costs are quite high.

In order to save costs, the three major Hollywood companies Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures and MGM jointly established United International Pictures in 1981.Headquartered in London, it has offices in 16 countries around the world and cooperates with authorized third parties in 43 other countries. It is responsible for distributing movies of several major parent companies in theaters, audiovisuals, television and other channels in overseas markets.

In addition to United International Pictures, several other major Hollywood film companies have also established their own large-scale international distribution departments, including Disney's Buena Vista International, Sony's Columbia TriStar International Distribution Group, and Warner Bros. International Pictures. Industry etc.

This is an important factor for Haotian Media to grow to this point and earn a large amount of US dollars from overseas every year.

In the final analysis, it was because he took advantage of the situation and took control of the AMC theater chain when Wanda hit rock bottom, allowing it to have such a global theater chain and thus have its own global distribution capabilities. Otherwise, it would have to Just like before, you have to find someone else to distribute it and cut a large piece of meat to others.

In the past, the eight major Hollywood film studios were arrogant and arrogant. They believed that the theater business would make little profit or even lose money, because the account sharing system in North America was beneficial to the production companies.

But now, seeing that Haotian Media occupies a large market share every year, they are anxious!
