Chapter 175 Movie Alliance

.

New York Times columnist Porter is in a bad mood now. He is out of anger.

Since the middle of the year, his column has become a special report column for Universal Company: Universal Company ambitiously intends to promote its cvd, but was blocked by Hollywood teaming up; Xiao Qiang runs in Hollywood in vain; Universal Company is forced to change its business direction, and Cvd becomes a game console; the popularity of dancing machines. The new world of dance in the United States: American babies are grandly making their debut, and the desire of boys and girls in the United States...

He had enough of this kind of life!

Porter had strong resistance, and he was extremely resistant to such a situation in his heart. He was a columnist looking for topics of interest in Volkswagen. He was not Xiao Qiang's personal spokesperson.

However, these resistances appear so pale in the face of public preferences.

He once tried to write something else.

But at Universal, when the Chinese rich man continued to attract public attention, no one read the reports he wrote. So much so that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper threatened to cancel his column.

For the sake of life and to make a living, Potter had to accept reality.

Just like he is now, he is waving the flag and shouting in the newspaper for another new feat created by Universal. Although, he is so angry to play this role.

He sighed and wrote on the computer: "Everyone is always unexpected. Every time we think it's like that, but at this time, their young boss is like a Santa Claus carrying a magic pocket, and then takes out a new thing that fascinates us all.

From the high-profile cvd landing in the United States, Xiao Qiang is like an indiscriminate boxing master, using a series of dazzling combination punches to make his opponent unable to fight back.

His punch was so strange that the opponent could not predict where he would attack from. He could only give in step and get tired of defending.

Last two months, we were still cheering for American baby, but the next month, we were already sitting on the sofa at home and enjoying movie discs from Hong Kong, China.

Hollywood thought this was Xiao Qiang's killer Tong, so it proposed to enter Hong Kong and mainland China to burn the war on the opponent's battlefield.

But after turning their backs, they found that if they were talking about this idea, they would be fooled by Xiao Qiang again, because the Japanese porn films were launched this time.

Oh, my god, those Japanese women are really... really, I can't describe them in words, I can only shrug my shoulders and tell everyone that Japanese AV is really good. Perhaps, Hollywood will also try to resist the attack of Universal Company. Invite some big-name stars to play AV-if he is not beaten up by the other party!

Then, before Hollywood could wake up from this impact, a new round of blows from the Chinese rich man came.

I can swear to God that the burners and video relay cards launched by Universal are what I personally think. The most valuable thing among so many of their products. After these two devices are launched, people can finally get rid of the situation of passively accepting movie distribution company discs and making personal collections.

At present, various homemade video materials have begun to be circulated on the Internet, some are just for fun, while others are the choices made by young directors who are eager to become famous.

Although the current network speed is not enough to play smooth video signals, people still enjoy it. The statements from the six major network service providers have contributed to the craze. They announced that they have initially established a backbone fiber optic network that runs across the United States. The speed problem is expected to be solved soon. According to people familiar with the matter, the six major network service companies will work together to launch an ultra-high-speed modem, which will reach a speed of one megabyte.

In the future, I suspect that people will no longer go to the cinema to watch movies, but watch various movies and TV through the Internet.

The six major network service companies are likely to become huge groups that dominate American lives. Fortunately, they are just a loose alliance, otherwise, we may all live under their shadow...

As various technologies gradually matured, Universal Company used help from all aspects to conquer some movie fans with Hong Kong movies, conquered children with cartoons, and satisfied their homes with Japanese AVs. Now, they have used burners and adapters to win photography enthusiasts, directors and Internet users who are eager to become famous.

Facing Universal Company, a strange and tricky punching move. If I were the boss of Hollywood, I would probably have been unable to handle it. I don’t know how these movie giants will deal with it. This battle may be very interesting, and of course, it will be cruel..."

Xiao Qiang knew better than Porter, an outsider, that he was cruel.

He tried his best and tried all his best to win the results of CVD. It can be said that he was working hard.

But he also felt weak after succession.

There are many excellent movies in Hong Kong, which are suitable for Americans to watch. The total number is still limited.

Moreover, this powerful attack on Hong Kong movies certainly made Hong Kong filmmakers applaud and ready to make more movies that Americans like. However, this also made Hollywood point its anger at Hong Kong.

There are special cultural departments all over the world. The United States does not.

They are some semi-official commercial film group alliances. However, their rights are even greater than some official ones.

The United States is already putting pressure on the Hong Kong government. They said that since the United States has opened its cultural market to the world without restrictions and Hong Kong films have also entered the United States in a large manner, in return, the Hong Kong government should also open the film market so that American films can be unimpeded.

They asked Hong Kong to abolish the quota system.

Due to the strong throne of the United States and the success of Hollywood commercial films, American films have occupied 80% of the market share worldwide.

Many countries have given up their resistance at all. Their film industry has shrunk completely. All the movies shown in cinemas are American movies.

In this case, some countries have issued quota systems in order to protect the survival of their own film companies and protect national culture.

In mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries, their film companies rely entirely on the protection of the government to find a way to survive in the cracks of Hollywood.

If the film market is opened, the result is almost expected that all the film companies will fall under the impact of Hollywood and have no power to fight back.

Perhaps it will be given several years to the Hong Kong film industry. It will occupy a certain position in the CD market and through this information feedback, it will grasp the preferences of American audience emperors. They will achieve greater success.

But at present, Hong Kong filmmakers cannot compete with Hollywood commercial films.

Xiao Qiang was a little worried.

Now there are photography enthusiasts, family users, individual entrepreneurs, dance groups, and fitness users. The situation seems to be very good. But he also knows that the ultimate purpose of a DVD player is still a movie. A DVD player without movie disc support can only be an incomplete product, and it cannot achieve the effect he wants. He squeezes into the ranks of DVD standard makers.

He was anxiously coming and going in the room, Lin Yi didn't dare to disturb him, and looked at the documents silently.

Xiao Qiang was so sad that his head hurt. He was not a god. He just used the momentum to quietly tilt the general trend towards him. In the face of the interference of the US government, he was powerless.

He rubbed his temples and sat down next to Lin Linyi.

"Don't be too embarrassed for yourself. You have done well enough. At the beginning, I never expected that CVD could achieve such success. Now domestic manufacturers are buying our dancing machine processing chips to improve the original products. It is an amazing miracle that you can let CVD enter the US market!" Lin Yi put down her pen and comforted him softly.

Xiao Qiang held the corner of his mouth and smiled at Lin Yi.

If he is only satisfied with the present, he will certainly not be worried. CVD has firmly stood firm in the United States in another form, and it also occupied a very small part of the disc playback market.

But this is not what he wants, he is about to succeed. He doesn't want to fail.

His vision is always a standard setter, not an ordinary electrical appliance manufacturer.

He picked up a document that Lin Yi had reviewed and read it to distract himself. Too focused thinking did make his brain feel a vague pain.

This is a report sent by the sales department, which is about sales statistics on burners and video transfer cards. There are also the feedback from the marketing sales staff, after-sales service staff, and user opinions.

Since its establishment, Universal Company has adhered to the requirements of an international company and made hard work in after-sales service.

Xiao Qiang's words "half of the successful sales results are attributed to good after-sales service" have become the company's motto and are kept in mind by every employee.

Therefore, the sales department always attaches great importance to after-sales and customer feedback opinions.

Xiao Qiang hurriedly browsed the report.

He jumped over the sales figures directly. What he valued was still the customer opinions from sales staff and other feedback.

His gaze suddenly stopped on a few lines of words.

The sales department submitted the report and mentioned an after-sales officer named Dick, who reported the situation. According to Dick, the owner of the twenty videotape rental stores he was in charge of, a shopkeeper named Guy, accidentally said that there was a French distribution company that once quietly sold French video discs to him. However, these were all French movies. He bought a few cvd discs, and the rental effect was very bad, so he did not ask the other party for goods again.

The sales department asked whether the other party was suing the court on the grounds that the other party infringed the CD disc patent to protect the company's interests.

Lin Yi approved: The company is now working hard to fight the Hollywood blockade, and it is not advisable to expand the front line for the time being. You can start collecting evidence of the other party's patent infringement and sue the court at appropriate times.

Xiao Qiang smiled at the sky. This is where he searched for something without any effort.

Signal, this is a signal, this is a clear signal they send to themselves, how can they miss it?

Xiao Qiang immediately called the sales department, and the person who answered the phone was a female American operator. Xiao Qiang handed the phone to Lin Yi: "Let the sales department head talk to me."

He told the sales staff to collect evidence of infringement from the issuing company immediately, and at the same time, he notified the issuing company that he wanted to see him.

Xiao Qiang had a secret talk with the representative of the French film distribution company for an afternoon, and then the other party quietly left. The next day, the representative left the United States.

It was earlier than Xiao Qiang expected, and only more than a week later, he received a call.

He then secretly left the United States and came to Paris, France.

He did not stay in a high-end hotel. After the translator contacted the other party through his mobile phone, they got into a car sent by the other party and came to a villa in the suburbs of Paris.

There are more than a hundred people waiting for him here.

They are all representatives of film companies from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries, many of which are the bosses themselves. Among these people, there are Asians, who are the bosses of Hong Kong local film companies.

There are certainly special reasons why Hong Kong movies became popular in the United States, but their achievements have also been recognized by the international film industry. They have also been qualified to attend this secret meeting.

Of course, Xiao Qiang invited so many representatives of film companies.

However, this does not mean that he has such great influence.

Indeed, Xiao Qiang is now a big shot, and he can make a splash in the system software market. Although his sound cards and graphics cards are struggling to support them, they still keep a small market share, which can have an impact on the market based on this.

But the reason why these bosses came is because of the cvd launched by Universal.

At first they were not optimistic about this product and did not want to invest energy in this area. Moreover, Xiao Qiang did not look for them at that time, but directly found Hollywood. After all, Hollywood occupied 80% of the market share.

Relatively speaking, Xiao Qiang does not attach importance to European films.

But when CVD gradually emerged in the United States, especially after Hong Kong movies were successful, these European film companies began to think about it. They also hoped to get a share of the pie in the United States.

The cinema chain is in the hands of American companies, and European movies have no chance to be released at all. Hollywood movie gangs can enter their own country. This has put a lot of pressure on these European film companies.

Now, Universal has pried a gap in the American film market through a DVD rental store. How can these European filmmakers be willing to miss this opportunity?

So, it is better to say that Xiao Qiang found them than to find them.

The French issuing company that went to the rental store was actually the pathfinding stones they sent.

This is just like when Xiao Qiang sold viewwww.piaotian.com.com                                                      

Although their influence is not as great as Hollywood, at this moment, as long as there is one more person, there is more power! In order to eliminate the threat that Hollywood brings to filmmakers all over the world, and to resist American movies, they came together!

Xiao Qiang and his cvd became a link to connect them.

Xiao Qiang was not polite, and he was the first to speak.

He stood in front of everyone and looked at everyone.

In their eyes, there was expectation, some doubt, and more so, there was excitement.

Xiao Qiang brought out his long-term emotions and said loudly: "We are a group of businessmen, a group of people born to ingest profits, and fighters to protect their own interests! We have to do it, even if we break the hegemony of Hollywood, we must also get the same opportunity to develop! Today, for the same purpose, I came here, and fight side by side with you, for the benefit of each other!"

The owner of every film company knows that this Chinese rich man doesn’t understand foreign languages. Of course, they don’t know much.

They all brought Chinese translations and listened to the translator's urgent speech. Although the translated language was a bit dry, Xiao Qiang's strong feelings made them all applaud enthusiastically.

This is what they want to do, this is what they want to say but dare not speak out loud!

They have been working hard to grow and develop their own companies and open up a larger market. Now, Universal has opened a path, but their ammunition is limited and they can't last long. They need help and support.

European film companies also need global DVD lines, which is their best opportunity to enter the US market!

Xiao Qiang continued to say excitedly: "The film markets in all countries and regions are overwhelmed by the Americans, and they can only rely on the quota system and persist. The domestic films in the UK only have a market share of more than 30%: France is similar... Every one of our film companies supports them very hard.

We should admit that Hollywood has more classic movies than us. They have enough reasons to occupy such a large market.

But if we unite, we also have a large number of classic videos, but we just don’t have the opportunity to be appreciated by American audiences and global audiences.

Faced with this situation, what should we do? Should we sit back and wait for death?

No, no matter what others think, I will never surrender. A company may only have one good film, but if so many companies join forces, we can have hundreds or thousands of excellent films! Now, we have achieved certain results in the United States and have obtained the opportunity to provide excellent films to American families. So, I need you. We need you, contribute your best works! Let us unite and break the exclusive monopoly of American films!"

The audience burst into applause.

Breaking the American film monopoly is the bright future they dream of!

"To achieve this goal, we all have to make sacrifices: temporary sacrifice. I will symbolically charge you the patent licensing fee for cvd discs. And you also need to provide me with the source of films at a low price. From then on, we will hold a meeting every year to discuss the cost of the next year until we achieve our wish."

After listening to Xiao Qiang's speech, everyone nodded.

Low-price dumping is a common method of capitalist powers. How can they not understand Xiao Qiang's meaning? The so-called CVD patent license and video authorization hedge, which actually offset each other.

This means that everyone will set a standard and divide it according to this standard.

The film company owners are also very clear. This money is actually made in vain from the US market, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little less.

As bosses of large companies, they all see far.

From the Americans' pockets, you can count a dollar, but you don't even have a cent. You don't care, just open the market first.

You capture the film market in our country. We will counterattack your home film market and everyone will fight together. As long as you cultivate enough American audiences, all your efforts will be worth it.

There is another very meaningful value. It is that once Eurasian movies have a foothold in the United States, other regions in the world will also be affected by this. To purchase more Eurasian movie copyrights, you will be able to live a lot, which is of great significance.

Everyone has ambitions and is naturally extremely efficient in doing things.

On the movie disc, no one wants to make a fortune in this regard. Everyone can barely support it by relying on the domestic movie market, so there is no need to kill the chicken to get eggs.

Moreover, at Xiao Qiang's suggestion, after each company allocated its respective local interests, they unanimously agreed to establish a Universal Film Company. They will obtain local DVD revenue from the US market and invest all of them in the US market to build Universal Film's own local cinema chain.

They all know how much investment this investment will be, how long it will take, and it will take ten years or even twenty years, but this gives them a hope, a hope to make their own movies come to the United States!

Each movie released to the United States must also be strictly approved by the board of directors of Universal Pictures to ensure that American audiences can see the most exciting Eurasian movies.

Xiao Qiang also invested independently and established a professional translator in Europe.

With the full support of film companies from various countries, advanced post-production equipment, and the help of European translation talents who understand American psychology, this translation studio has a professional team of extremely high standards at the moment of its establishment.

The oversupply of translation talents. Even every professional actor has his own special voiceover!

In order to achieve the best post-production effect, many companies have stated that they will provide a sound effect library that has not yet been synthesized when the filming was filmed, so that the dubbing and original films can achieve a seamless combination of her.

In order to break the rule of Hollywood, film companies in various countries no longer insist on using their own languages ​​as the only language of the film.

English is Esperanto. This is an indisputable fact.

Merchants are real animals. They are the easiest to accept reality. For a little bit of national self-esteem, they will eventually be destroyed. What's the point?

It is a British film. In order to adapt to the aesthetic requirements of North American audiences, it is re-dubbed in American English.

After ten days of emergency consultation, all the Eurasian film companies present came up with the first list of cvd discs to be launched on the US market.

"Mr. Bean", "Paradise Cinema", "Photographing Under the Mustard Cellar", "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"...

European and Asian film companies have sounded the horn to the United States in order to break the Hollywood film monopoly.
