1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 858: This matter must be a big deal!
"Why this expression? If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it." Lin Weimin saw Lei Jun's expression and said.

Lei Jun hesitated and said: "Uncle Lin, have you thought of a question?"

At this moment, they were the only two people in the office. Lei Jun didn't feel ashamed at all when he called "uncle". What thick thighs they have!
"what is the problem?"

“The blueprint we envision looks good, but I’m afraid it’s not that easy to implement.”

Lin Weimin nodded and said: "This is natural. It has been known since ancient times that it is easy to do but difficult to do."

"You don't understand what I mean..." Lei Jun hesitated. He knew that his words might offend people, but finally said: "I have also been in a research institute. To be honest, I don't think excellent talents can be born under the state-run mechanism. Internet companies. The market that Internet companies will face in the future will inevitably be a market with a high degree of market competition. The genes of state-owned units determine that their actions when facing the market must be rigid and sluggish."

At this point, Lei Jun fell silent and looked at Lin Weimin with some anxiety hidden in his eyes.

After listening to Lei Jun's words, Lin Weimin looked serious. He pondered for a while, then came back to his senses, looked at Lei Jun, saw that he looked nervous, and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous? You said this out of good intentions, I Are you so ignorant?"

"No. From what you just said, I think you attach great importance to the Chinese Literature Society..."

Lin Weimin waved his hand with a calm expression.

"I understand. Well, indeed, in the eyes of you young people, state-owned enterprises are already in decline. They are lifeless, lifeless, and have long since derailed from the market.

In fact, I can also feel that although the development of the Chinese Literature Society has been booming in recent years, compared with the energetic and aggressive private booksellers outside, its shortcomings have become more and more obvious.

To be honest, I mentioned the matter of corporate restructuring to the above earlier, but unfortunately there has been no movement so far. "

Although Lei Jun now works in a private enterprise, he has gone to college and worked in a research institute. He still knows something about national policies and government agencies. When he heard the words "transformation of enterprises and restructuring" , my heart skipped a beat.

This is what I can hear?

When Lin Weimin talked about corporate transformation, he naturally meant the Chinese Literature Society, which is a public institution.

The restructuring of state-owned enterprises has been implemented for more than ten years, and it has long been the aspiration of the people. However, the state has not yet let go of the transformation of public institutions into enterprises.

If the Chinese Literature Society were to be restructured, it would be a major matter related to national policy reform.

Lei Jun looked at the man in front of him, and the feeling of closeness in his heart slowly faded, and Uncle Lin's image became more majestic.

"Stop talking about this." Lin Weimin also realized that he shouldn't say what he just said. He stopped the topic and continued: "Your idea is right. Before, I was only seeking perfection, but I ignored the fundamentals of development. The problem is people. In this hothouse of the Chinese Literature Society, the people under me may not be able to deal with the wolves, tigers and leopards outside!"

Lin Weimin shook his head as he spoke. He thought of the development routes of many large domestic companies in later generations.

When they develop to a certain scale, their main business reaches a bottleneck stage, and these large companies will naturally focus on other areas.

Various mergers and acquisitions expand diversified operations, buy a bunch of companies, and lay people guide experts. In the end, they usually end in failure.

Not only did it fail to achieve better development, but its main business was brought down by attacks from all sides.

Foresight.

Guowenshe itself is a publishing house. In the past, its cultural industry and content industry were closely related to its main business and could create a linkage effect.

But when it comes to breaking into the Internet, Chinese Language and Literature Society doesn’t have this gene at all, nor does it have the relevant talent and technology accumulation. It just depends on him patting his head in the office. It is true that Lin Weimin has prophetic ability, but things cannot be done by one person. It can be done.

He reflected on himself, and it seemed that the recent success of "Heroes" had made him drift too much.

But Lin Weimin quickly came out of this emotion. If the Chinese Literature Society does not engage in the Internet, it does not mean that it cannot participate in it.

The impact of the Internet on the industry in the future will be huge. As long as the angle of entry is good, it will not be difficult to reap this wave of dividends. He then changed his mind and found a new direction.

If you can't do it yourself, then wouldn't it be over if you throw money at it?
At this point, Lin Weimin feels that Tencent in later generations is an example worth learning from.

I don't do this stuff, but if you do it to make money, I have to score points.

With an idea in mind, Lin Weimin's face became relaxed again.

Lei Jun looked a little disappointed. He talked happily for a long time, but finally realized that it was all a waste of saliva.Moreover, Lin Weimin seemed to be asking him for advice today, but in the end he didn't seem to be of any help.

Lin Weimin caught a glimpse of his face and said, "I have been talking to you for so long today, and it has inspired me a lot."

When he said this, Lei Jun's face became even more ashamed, "How can I help? You are joking."

"You can't look at the problem this way. Although what we discussed has not been implemented, we have successfully eliminated a path that has a high probability of making mistakes. Isn't this our major achievement today?"

When Lei Jun listened to these words, he didn't know why he thought of the quotations he had memorized when he was young.

In his eyes, Lin Weimin was not only majestic, but also taller, giving him the feeling of looking up to a high mountain.

Lei Jun had some clarity in his heart. Sometimes methods and methods are important in doing things, but strong spirit and belief are the most important.

With this realization, he felt that today's trip was worthwhile.

After the slight summer heat, the weather in Yanjing was extremely hot.

As the saying goes, the three days of summer solstice are the days of volts. Counting from the summer solstice to the third geng day is the day when the days of volts begin every year, and the days of dog days happen to be between the minor heat and the end of heat.

Calculated using the Gregorian calendar, it is roughly between mid-July and mid-August each year.

It's almost mid-July and the weather is hot as it should be.But today's summer, what's hotter than the weather is the movie market, to be precise, the movie "Hero".

After grossing 5960 million at the box office in the first week of release, "Hero" continued to make great progress in the second week. With many copies issued, the film has almost monopolized the schedule of domestic cinemas.

Although there are no clear statistics, according to supervisors sent by Mandarin United's producers and distributors, there are almost no other movies being shown in cinemas across the country.

Last week, "The Opium War" still had some buzz, but this week, this big-budget movie, which cost nearly 1 million yuan, did not escape the fate similar to other domestic films. Although it was not released, it was not the same as the one that was released. There is no difference anymore.

After wiping out many of its peers, "Hero"'s performance skyrocketed again.

The box office data for the second week of release was released, and the box office reached an astonishing 8630 million yuan, setting a single-week box office record in Chinese film history.

There is no release channel for box office data these days, but after this number was compiled, it spread throughout the Chinese film industry as quickly as possible.

Horror!
8630 million a week, is this the box office number that Chinese movies can create?

Not to mention domestically produced movies, even imported Hollywood blockbusters would not be able to achieve such a terrifying box office!
This is so unreasonable. The same thought hovers in the hearts of many domestic filmmakers.

But when they walked to the cinema and saw the long line at the ticket office, the overcrowded theater, and the fact that some people even bought movie tickets from scalpers at high prices, it all seemed reasonable again.

The cumulative box office in the two weeks after its release was 1.459 million yuan.

"Hero" seemed to be born to break all records. It took in nearly 1.5 million in box office in just two weeks. Now, the only thing standing in front of "Hero" is "Farewell My Concubine" released in 1993.

The box office of "Farewell My Concubine" has not reached 2 million. According to the box office trend of "Hero", it is a certainty that the box office will surpass it next week, and there will be no difficulty in exceeding 2 million.

The only suspense now is where the end point of "Hero" will be!

There are only two factors that can check and balance "Heroes" at the moment. One is strong competitors, and the other is rampant piracy.

But the closest blockbuster to "Heroes" is the Hollywood movie "Jurassic Park 8: The Lost World" which was only released on August 15. It is still a full month away from mid-August.

There were originally several domestic films to be released during this period, but now seeing the violent box office trend of "Hero", the producers and distributors of various films are also frightened. Now that the film is released, it is not an old birthday star hanging himself - looking for death. ?

The box office dominance shown by "Hero" is unprecedented, and has never been seen even in Hollywood, which invested hundreds of millions of dollars.

These producers and distributors would rather compete with "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" with their own films than face "Heroes."

After all, the outcome of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" is still unknown, and maybe there is still a chance to survive, but the current attitude of "Heroes" is to kill all its peers. ah!

Only peers show naked hatred!
"Hero" is unstoppable and invincible. Wenhua Film and Television and several partner companies are extremely happy, but it also makes many colleagues complain and suffer everywhere.

In just a few days, the overwhelming resentment in the film industry reached Lin Weimin's ears.

Faced with these rumors, Lin Weimin didn't take them to heart.

There is an ancient saying: Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. If you make money yourself, being scolded by others is nothing.

But at this moment, "Wenhui Po" far away in Shanghai suddenly published an article.

"Wen Wei Po" is the most influential comprehensive newspaper in Shanghai, and it is also a national and comprehensive newspaper.

"Blockbusters monopolizing theater schedules will do great harm to Chinese films."

With such a clear title, you don’t need to ask to know who this article is referring to.

The content is more concise and clear. The author first clarifies the fact that "a certain blockbuster" in today's film market has a monopoly on most theaters' schedules.

Then he interviewed many film practitioners, distribution company managers, distributors, cinema managers, studio leaders, film directors and other participants from various industries in the industry.

The speeches of these people all express their dissatisfaction with the phenomenon of blockbuster monopoly in film arrangement, either explicitly or implicitly. It is reasonable to say that distribution companies and studios are dissatisfied with this phenomenon.

But the argument made by the cinema manager is very strange. Why is the cinema willing to give more movies to certain movies? Is it charity?Isn’t it because such movies can bring them higher income?
As a result, now I am eating and smashing the pot, which is unreasonable no matter how I look at it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these contents are the result of screening and deliberate guidance.

At the end of the article, it summarizes the harm that blockbuster monopoly schedules have on the film market.

It is worth mentioning that the last recipient in the article was actually director Xie Jin.

The old man was probably driven into a hurry by "Hero" this time. He had been preparing for "The Opium War" for several years, spent countless efforts and energy, and even mortgaged three of his houses.

Even if the box office was not satisfactory after its release, "Hero" was released for two weeks, and "The Opium War" disappeared directly from the cinema. It is not such a bully!
In the words of later generations, the interview content of Xie Jin published in the article can be regarded as "bombardment".

The author of this article has a sophisticated writing style. At first glance, the interview content is detailed and the views are fair. Once it was published, it was recognized by many people in the film industry, was widely disseminated, and quickly aroused heated discussion in the country.

Lin Weimin looked at the newspaper in his hand and had to wonder if this was Comrade Xie's method because he was forced to do so by "Heroes".

But no matter what kind of thoughts were hidden behind it, he had to respond.

What a great publicity opportunity!

Lin Weimin immediately called Yu Dong to instruct:
If you want to bombard me hard, you must name them.

This matter must be a big deal!
