Chapter 341: Caught in the Turmoil and Being Attacked
"Li Rui, as CFO, I must remind you that our ticket prices are too low now. Even if the sales are booming, they are still not enough to level up the early investment. Do you think you should make adjustments to the ticket prices?" Chen Ting said.
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's do it like this, we can implement the VIP membership system, which is divided into ordinary VIP, gold VIP, diamond VIP, and platinum VIP. As long as we recharge 1000 yuan at one time, we can become ordinary VIPs. In the future, all movie tickets can enjoy a 10% discount. And so on, every 1,000 yuan increase can be added, 20% off for gold VIP, 30% off for diamond VIP, and 60% off for platinum VIP. In this way, we have a capital pool, and the interest income generated can be used to offset the amount of losses."
"It's a good idea, but Li Rui, we have only filmed a movie now. If you ask the audience to recharge members at this time, if there is no more movie support, everyone will definitely not be happy." Chen Ting said.
"Yes, it's impossible to shoot a video in a short time." Mao Yurou also expressed concern.
Li Rui waved his hand and smiled, "Of course I understand what you said. I have already asked Yu Buzhi to prepare for a new film. As for not having so many movies at once, don't worry. This can be solved by purchasing the copyright of the movie."
“Purchase copyright?”
Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.
Li Rui smiled and said, "We not only need to shoot, manufacture, and produce good movies, but also learn to manage them. Good movies should be boldly bought out and keep the copyright firmly in our own hands. We must know that the value generated by a classic movie is immeasurable."
"But, will anyone be willing to sell the copyright?"
"Don't worry, money can make the devil push. As long as the price is right, someone will definitely be willing to sell it."
Sure enough, under the temptation of money, many film companies have given up the copyright of their own classic films.
Afterwards, Li Rui took the opportunity to hold a classic film exhibition season for generations. As long as he is a member of Generation Cinema, he can go to the theater to watch on demand at any time. Even if the movie has only one audience on demand, Generation Cinema is willing to show it for him, even if it is booked, it is still willing to do so.
Once the Generation Classic Film Festival was launched, the theaters were soon overcrowded, and the popularity was far beyond Li Rui's estimate, so the income naturally rose.
With its advanced equipment and excellent films, Draft Cinema quickly gained a foothold in the film industry. Draft Cinema's development has also begun a period of rapid progress. While they purchased films from other film companies, they were also accelerating the shooting of new movies. At the same time, Li Rui also urged Lin Zejiang to ask him to build a rural theater as soon as possible.
Li Rui focused on consolidating the vast rural areas. As a partner, Chen Yun cooperated very well and specially proposed a rural school revitalization plan and established a Shancheng Rural School Education Group to invite Li Rui to serve as the school director. This move was to help Li Rui further control the rural areas and take the opportunity to cultivate a talent team for rural work.
As soon as Li Rui took office, he made a big move and directly announced that all primary and junior high schools were exempted from tuition fees. He also started high school and vocational education in rural areas for the first time, and ensured that all outstanding graduates could be exempted from taking the exam in the future to work in Aoshi Group. Li Rui was also not stingy about the treatment of teachers in rural schools. He offered a sky-high salary of 1 million yuan a year, but there was one condition, that is, he had to serve in the local area for more than 10 years. If he could work until retirement, Li Rui would also reward him with an additional 10 million yuan as a glorious retirement bonus.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Faced with an annual salary of one million, the outstanding teachers in the city have taken the initiative to ask to teach in rural schools. Many parents are worried about the teaching quality of rural schools, which is easy to solve.
At the same time, Li Rui will also focus on cultivating and developing teachers in the teaching staff who are truly ambitious to revitalize and build villages, including some parents and villagers who are grateful for Li Rui's kindness, and develop them to become the heads of the workstation or backbone elements, and become fire seeds. When needed, they will become a ball of flames and burn the entire world.
Generation Cinemas gained a foothold, which is a good thing for Li Rui, but it is not good news for other film companies.
Just like the Century Real Estate entered the real estate market before, the emergence of Generation Film will inevitably touch the cheese of some vested interests and damage their interests. What follows will inevitably be the boycott and exclusion of these vested interests.
"Generation Pictures has a big appetite, it's just pushing us to the dead end!"
"Yes, they eat meat, we drink soup, Generation Pictures dominates the world, and we will never make a name for ourselves and will be suppressed by Generation Pictures."
"Generation Pictures wants to monopolize the market now, why are you waiting for? Instead of being annexed, it's better to unite and fight with them!"
"Yes, I've fought hard! We can't let Generation Pictures dominate the world!"
Although Generation Pictures is now just starting out, it has already revealed signs of occupying the film market. This has made the film companies very panicked. The outcome of Huaxing Real Estate and several other real estate companies fighting against Century Real Estate was obvious. At first, it was very powerful, but later it was not obedient to admit defeat.
These film companies do not want to follow the footsteps of real estate companies, and want to take advantage of the fact that Draft Pictures has not taken root in the film industry and uproot it. The only way is to make Draft Pictures famous first. It has to be said that this is an extremely bold idea, even crazy. Draft Pictures is a subsidiary of Aoshi Group. Almost no one does not know the strength of Aoshi Group. It is difficult to make Aoshi Group's reputation famous.
Not to mention the reputation accumulated by Aoshi Group in charity undertakings before, just by Li Rui’s current financial resources, the people who could bring him down in Shancheng have not been born yet. Moreover, the Aoshi Group is no longer the original world. When it was supported by a single tree, the Chen family and the Mo family have formed a strategic community with him. There are many people who want Li Rui to fall, but there are more people who want Li Rui to stand.
The swaying tree is overestimating its abilities. It’s ridiculous that those film companies don’t know Li Rui’s current strength. They naively think that they can defeat Li Rui with just a little trick.
Soon a news came out online that it was said that the Generation Film and Television, a subsidiary of Aoshi Group, intended to monopolize the film and television market. The monopoly is not big or small. In some industries, monopoly is explicitly permitted, such as the aphrodisiac market, but in other industries, monopoly will face legal sanctions, one of which is the film and television entertainment industry. Because once film and television entertainment is monopolized, it will lead to only one voice in the entire market, which is not only unfavorable to healthy development, but also threatens the dominance of the authorities. Therefore, the Fourth Empire has strict management of this aspect, and is even said to be harsh.
Those film and television companies are planning to use this to attack Generation Pictures. So once the news on the Internet was released, it immediately caused a lot of storm. The people who were obsessed with the truth are indeed easily guided by public opinion. When these film and television companies cited various evidences of Generation Pictures monopoly of the market, everyone really believed that Generation Pictures was suspected of monopoly of the market.
"Oppose monopoly and firmly resist Generation Pictures!"
"Generation Films get out of Shancheng Film and Television Industry!"
"I hope that relevant departments will inspect Generation Film. A good market environment requires multiple companies to compete and develop together."
"Generation Pictures actually wants to monopolize the market. I will never watch their company's movies again!"
For a time, the rumors on the Internet became more and more exaggerated. Some people even said that Generation Pictures wanted to control the entire empire's ideas through the power of culture in order to achieve some ulterior motives.
The remarks on the Internet are almost all against Generation Pictures, which is very abnormal.
It is obvious that someone is deliberately guiding public opinion.
Some netizens wanted to defend Dynasties, but found that the thing they just sent was quickly deleted. As long as they were supporting Li Rui, all these messages were deleted without exception.
Some people realized that this was a conspiracy against Generation Pictures, and Li Rui could not have known it.
Zhang Aiyuan hurried over to report this matter to Li Rui, hoping to find a solution to the problem from him.
"Li Rui, when is it? You still have the heart to sleep? What do you think about this?"
Li Rui rubbed his swelling head, looked up at Zhang Aiyuan, and said lazily: "The sky is not falling, what are you afraid of? This matter must be caused by someone behind the scenes. What we can do is not how to fight back, but wait!"
"Wait?" Zhang Aiyuan asked in confusion: "What are you waiting for? If you wait, I'm afraid the situation will be more unfavorable to us."
"At this time, we can only wait. If we fight back, we will make a solid decision. Are we really monopolizing the market? Is this going to cover up and give people a handle? So now we can't do anything, we can only wait and see what changes."
"But I don't understand, what are we waiting for?"
"Wait until public opinion moves closer to us."
Zhang Aiyuan shook her head helplessly and said, "Li Rui, this matter is easier said than done, but harder to do. Public opinion has turned to the other side. We are now unable to argue. We have collectively condemned us online. The whole situation cannot be reversed so quickly."
Li Rui smiled and said, "What are you worried about? The general comes to block the water and cover the soil. No matter who makes a move, we just need to catch it!"
"But..." ωωw.
Li Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, this matter was caused by them. The incident on the Internet has been rumored, and it is impossible for no one to know about it. We are waiting, and there are also people waiting on the top. I saw that the attitude above the bottom was above?"
