Chapter 138 Xiao Lin vs. Lao Han, the little fox and the old fox
"It's like this, I want to form a small distribution team, not a big one."
Lin Yicheng glanced at Mr. Han San and noticed that there was nothing unusual on his face.
"Can we let these people follow China Film Group and work together on distribution in the future? That way they can learn something from the best of China Film Group."
Lin Yicheng expressed his demands.
……
Uncle Han narrowed his eyes slightly and figured out the key points in an instant.
The issuance business, without considering publicity, is very complicated, but it is also quite simple.
It’s nothing more than two places that need to be connected.
One is the copying and engraving aspect, which requires a stable and safe partner, or having your own engraving factory.
China Film Group has its own subsidiaries, and the group can decide how many copies to make and how much time to take.
Another aspect is the relationship between the theater chains and cinemas.
There are dozens of cinema chains of all sizes and thousands of cinemas in the country, and the relationships among them are complex.
The issuer has to deal with each and every one of them one by one, and pay them a visit. Even if they cannot get to know all of them, they have to at least get to know them well.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to release the movie on a large scale or nationwide.
If a new publishing team wants to sort out the relationships involved, having someone with rich experience to lead it will undoubtedly help it achieve twice the result with half the effort, save a lot of time, and avoid many detours.
As long as these little foxes follow the people from China Film Group once or twice, they can then bring in new people and expand the size of the distribution team, thus achieving independent distribution.
Galaxy Films Company was originally the producer, and now there is Galaxy Cinemas. It would be great if this distribution team could be established.
Production, distribution, and release, the entire upstream, midstream, and downstream are connected, it's a one-stop service!
This little fox has such big ambitions!
……
To be honest, at this moment, Mr. Han San wanted to refuse.
He knew very well that the reason why Lin Yicheng was willing to pull China Film Group along was because China Film Group had its own cinema chains and could distribute films, giving it enough advantages when scheduling films.
If Lin Yicheng really opens up the entire industrial chain, then China Film's position in future cooperation between the two parties will be somewhat awkward, and it will not be an exaggeration to say that it is dispensable.
By then, given the cunningness of this little fox, will he still be willing to take Zhongying with him to eat meat?
His agreement now was just a casual remark, but the impact it would have on China Film Group would be profound and long-lasting.
Mr. Han San was thinking about the wording, how to reject this request without affecting his relationship with Lin Yicheng.
Seeing that Mr. Han San had been silent, Lin Yicheng guessed his concerns and thoughts.
"Uncle Han, you are almost fifty-four this year, right?" Lin Yicheng asked.
"Yes, I was born on National Day." Uncle Han frowned, not knowing why Lin Yicheng asked this.
"I call you uncle. There's no one else here, so just treat it as a casual chat between uncle and nephew."
Mr. Han San couldn't help but sit up straight. He said it was just a chat, but he didn't take it seriously.
"There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not." Lin Yicheng seemed a little hesitant.
Uncle Han gave him a look and said, "Stop talking nonsense and just speak quickly!"
"When you finish this term, you will be sixty years old, right? Yes, you are still strong and vigorous, but..."
But Lin Yicheng didn’t say anything, and there was no need to say anything.
For someone of Mr. Han Sanye's status, sixty years old is a hurdle.
Unless you reach a certain level, you will have to retire to the second line or return to the countryside after you are sixty years old.
With Mr. Han Sanye's level, he is naturally no exception.
……
"Let me put this here. As long as you are here, China Film will be the best partner of Galaxy Film Company."
Mr. Han San still didn't say anything, but he understood what Lin Yicheng said next without him having to explain.
The saying goes, "Do your job well while you are in your position."
If this is not in its place...
Whether he joins or leaves, what does the future of China Film Group have to do with him?
When people leave, the tea gets cold.
Galaxy Film and Television Company wanted to form a distribution team. Given the character of this little fox, this could not be stopped, and he couldn't stop it either.
Even if there is no China Film Group to accompany him, it would just take more time and energy. Especially with the background and means of this little fox, it might not be a difficult task for him.
Since there is not much difference between stopping and not stopping, why should you be the bad guy?
He purposely built a closer relationship with Lin Yicheng and became uncle and nephew. Wasn't it just to get as many opportunities as possible so that he could live a stable life in a few years, or even overcome that hurdle and go further?
……
Seeing that Mr. Han San was interested, Lin Yicheng spoke again.
"You are experienced and have a unique vision. I was thinking that I could ask you to help with some of the company's projects in the future and give some advice and review them."
Master Han looked at Lin Yicheng quietly without saying a word, and Lin Yicheng also looked at him calmly.
There is no need to explain things too clearly, both parties can understand each other.
These words, however, came from Lin Yicheng's heart.
Once he successfully takes over the video website, he will definitely launch more projects. With Mr. Han San in charge, some things will be very convenient.
The subject matter and content of some projects can also proceed more smoothly.
Master Han San understood everything from Lin Yicheng's eyes.
Uncle Han lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled thick smoke. His face was a little blurry in the thick smoke.
……
There is hope for the future and a way out.
This little fox is really amazing. Han Sanye asked himself, when he was Lin Yicheng's age, he didn't have such scheming and means.
"When can you form this team?"
"Soon, as long as there are no problems on your end, you can have them follow when "Crazy Nightclub" is released."
"I will arrange this matter later. Just let your people connect with China Film Group."
"Thank you, Uncle Han!" Lin Yicheng was overjoyed, and his call of "Uncle Han" sounded more sincere.
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"That's all. I won't bother you anymore." Lin Yicheng said goodbye with a smile.
After Lin Yicheng left the door, Mr. Han San touched his head. Fortunately, he had a flat head, otherwise he would have lost a few hairs.
It’s not clear whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing that such a little fox has popped out of the circle.
However, the ones most affected are definitely Huayi, Guangxian, and Bona.
With the right to introduce imported films in hand, no matter how the situation changes, China Film has the confidence to face it with a smile.
After finishing a cigarette quickly, Uncle Han San thought about the content of the conversation just now, wondering if there were any omissions in it, so as not to fall into any trap set by this little fox.
Uncle Han San wanted to light up another cigarette, but when he touched the table, he found nothing.
After searching around, there was no trace of the cigarette box.
"This little fox came to me!"
Master Han San scolded with a smile, but the depression in his heart just now also dissipated a lot.
From this small action, it can be seen that Lin Yicheng really did not treat him as an outsider, but as a close elder in the family.
……
After leaving China Film Corporation, I bought a second-hand Audi.
Lin Yicheng casually threw the box of specially supplied red pandas to Zheng Jun who was driving.
"Try it, it's specially supplied and you won't see it outside."
"I've smoked it." Zheng Jun took the cigarette, lit it and said.
Lin Yicheng was not surprised. Zheng Jun was an elite scout. He might have participated in some protection missions and was exposed to this kind of smoke.
The action of taking the cigarette from Mr. Han San just now was done deliberately.
He was neither a chain smoker nor a worldly-wise man.
Sometimes, no matter how affectionate people are with each other, it is not as useful as some unintentional actions.
As the second-hand Audi was driving, Lin Yicheng fell into deep thought.
When dealing with an old fox like Mr. Han Sanye, whose eyelashes are all hollow, you really have to be extremely alert and think over every wording in your mind several times.
If Lin Yicheng didn't have the experience from his previous life, if he were a young boy of his age, he would have to pay the money after being sold out by such an old fox.
He just played a trick. As long as Mr. Han San is here, it is true that China Film Group will be a partner of Galaxy Film Company.
But there are differences between partners.
There is a time boundary here. In another three or four years, China Film Group will gradually show signs of decline, and the Galaxy Film Company by that time will no longer have the scale and strength it has today.
Lin Yicheng, who has opened his third eye, can of course see things that others cannot see.
The strength of the two parties to the cooperation will determine their voice and the final distribution of benefits.
When Galaxy Film Company and China Film Group Corporation were at odds with each other, at that time, perhaps China Film Corporation would be begging for cooperation.
When asking someone to do something for you, of course you have to be humble.
By then, it will be Lin Yicheng who will take care of China Film and give face to his "Uncle Han".
……
After returning to the company, Lin Yicheng made a phone call and asked Gao Weimin to be responsible for finding candidates for the distribution team.
As the head of Galaxy Cinemas, Gao Weimin deals the most with distributors from various companies and is most familiar with them.
With him, it is easy to find the right candidate.
Lin Yicheng did not mention any other companies, only Guangxian and Bona Film Group.
Guangxian's field sales team is second to none in the industry, with a size of several thousand people. Lao Wang started his business with this team.
These people can make up for the shortcomings of Galaxy Film and Television Company in local publicity.
Bona started out as a film distribution company. Their distribution capabilities are currently second only to China Film Group Corporation, and they are the leader among private enterprises.
The people we recruited from Bona are ready for combat immediately and do not need any training at all.
As long as these people see the prospects and money, it is easy to change jobs.
With a salary increase and the opportunity to be transformed from an ordinary employee to the head of a team, they couldn't help but be tempted.
In Lin Yicheng's opinion, anything that can be solved with money is a small matter.
The distribution team was formed and after some running-in through "Crazy Nightclub", it became a mature team.
……
As for whether Guangguang and Bona will have any objections?
They will become opponents sooner or later anyway, so why not weaken them in advance?
It not only strikes the enemy, but also strengthens ourselves.
Of course, Lin Yicheng's move to poach people is likely to be met with counterattack.
But if they don't poach people, will they just watch Galaxy Film and Television Company rise smoothly and do nothing?
They will take action sooner or later. If Lin Yicheng takes action first, he can still gain some initiative. Then he just needs to be more vigilant against Guangguang and Bona.
If we act later, who knows what evil intentions Old Wang and Fatty Yu are planning, and when they might suddenly attack Lin Yicheng and catch him off guard.
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief in a thousand days.
Lin Yicheng took the initiative this time, which was also a small test.
Let's see what the status of him and Galaxy Film and Television Company is in the eyes of companies like Guangguang and Bona, and to what extent the other party regards him and Galaxy Film and Television Company as enemies.
