"As provincial TV stations in mainland China have been on the air in recent years, the TV industry will enter a period of quite vigorous development, which is the best opportunity for the rise of Jinshu. After all, the threshold for the domestic TV field in China is far lower than that of films, and the demand is far higher than that of films. However, other capitals will definitely not miss this opportunity. If the Jinshu system wants to stand out from it, it needs to have sufficient competitiveness. What should the core competitiveness of Jinshu system? In my opinion, the key is to form a complete mature industrial chain in the specialization of film and television projects from incubation, production to marketing, distribution and other links."

"You must remember that this is business."

"If any business wants to succeed, the core is high-quality products. But in addition to ensuring that the product is excellent enough, you also need to reduce costs as much as possible in the production process and become famous as much as possible in the marketing process. The ultimate goal is to get more profits."

"Maybe you are wondering how to do it specifically? Can I teach you more than these broad concepts?"

"Of course I know what to do, because I came up step by step from the bottom. Even if the film and television entertainment environment in the United States is very different from that in China, if you look at it, since it is a business, it will inevitably lead to the same end. However, I don't have time to teach you, I just want to achieve the results."

"If you are interested, you can learn the operation techniques of any professional field with your current position, the resources that the Westeros system can use. As the same thing, I will only look at the results. If you do it well, I will give you enough rewards, which will definitely be more than you imagined, because of the various regulations and regulations in China. Most of the companies in the Jinshu system cannot hold too many shares. I hope that these shares will be taken away by the people you do specifically. Of course, if you don't do it well, you will still have nothing. I am a person who highly valued only by giving."

In the study room in the mansion on the west bank of West Lake.

Simon has no time to contact each other, so he basically communicates with several senior executives of the Jinshu Department directly, and many of them are still talking about Simon.

At the end of this, Simon looked through a document sent by Lin Su again and said, "The last thing is about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This is a novel I like very much. In fact, most of Mr. Jin Yong's works? I like it very much. Therefore, outside of business, I hope this project is used as my personal hobby? It is made into a real work of art. It just so happens that this project is a cooperation between Hong Kong TVB and Mainland CCTV and us? Therefore, it cannot be considered a pure business? It has more special significance. Therefore, to do the best? It does not conflict with my hope."

"Since it's my personal hobby? Not to mention how much resources can CCTV and TVB provide, I will personally give a budget of $15 million."

After Simon said this, Wu Shanlin and Luo Qian, who were sitting on the sofa opposite, were a little shocked.

15 million US dollars? In the conversion is 120 million RMB.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is expected to be about 40 episodes? The "Water Margin" that CCTV is currently producing in recent years? It can be called a national drama? The budget is only less than 60 million yuan. Moreover, the 15 million US dollars that the boss just mentioned is just a funding of Jinshu's family, and the resources that CCTV and TVB can provide are not included.

After spending money like this, it is obvious that my boss really doesn’t plan to recover the cost.

After Simon finished speaking, he gave a few people some digestion time and handed the document to Wu Shanlin. He continued: "So? There is no need to worry about production? It's okay to complete it in two to three years? Just like CCTV's production of the four classics, select the best actors and the best behind-the-scenes team. Finally, there is this? I personally donate an additional set of digital cameras and corresponding post-production equipment. The core is Sony's latest digital camera, with a movie-level resolution of 1920*1080. Haha, it's actually less. The vertical direction is only about 800 pixels, and the picture quality needs to be compensated through hardware such as lenses, but it is also far beyond the current quality level of 640*420 TV series shooting. Next, you will find a suitable team to practice mastering these equipment as soon as possible."

Simon's biggest regret for the various classic epics of the past, and even later CCTV Jin Yong series, is the picture quality. All kinds of beautiful women and tough guy scenes are greatly reduced due to the rough picture quality.

Especially CCTV's Jin Yong series.

If Zhang Dahuzi could shoot with movie-level image quality back then, there would be room for various "extraordinary women" to make trouble later, and they would take it out and beat it up once.

Therefore, what Simon needs this time is to get it done in one step.

Using CCTV can mobilize huge resources across the country. The mature professional production team in Hong Kong and the rich funds from the Jinshu Department can achieve the ultimate at one time. There were no Jin Yong dramas before, and there were no Jin Yong dramas since then.

To achieve this goal, the first thing is the picture quality.

The first 1080P movie-level digital camera was born in 2000, mainly because Sony specially developed the shooting of "Star Wars" at the request of George Lucas. In fact, major electronic giants have long had enough technical accumulation. This time, Tinkobaier's i-Cam series was a success in advance, which stimulated the rapid development of digital camera technology. With the increasing investment of various electronic giants, Sony has launched a 2-megapixel professional digital camera three years in advance.

Of course, the current picture quality of this camera of Sony is still quite different from that of film. The actual pixels are less than 1080P, and it requires technical processing to obtain the corresponding effect. But this is an absolute leap for the current 420P TV shooting.

Although it is necessary to compress the TV broadcast in this era, shooting with 1080P image quality will not be outdated even in twenty or thirty years. This is also the fundamental prerequisite for Simon to achieve "one step in place".

In order to achieve this goal, Simon donated this time three sets of Sony's latest digital cameras, including various lenses and storage accessories, as well as corresponding post-production equipment, have a total value of US$1.8 million, equivalent to nearly RMB 15 million, which is enough to shoot two or three low-cost TV series in China at this time.

Let the people on the other side come over to check the list of equipment that will be shipped to China in the near future. Simon asked again: "By the way, CCTV, have you contacted Zhang? How did he reply?"

Of course, this is Zhang Dawang.

Zhang Dahuzi is still in the system at this time and is currently serving as the general producer of "Water Margin".

Fortunately, the filming of "Water Margin" has come to an end. CCTV has the most demanding producers. Invite the other party to come in advance. As long as Zhang Dahun is not stupid, he knows that the meaning of this errand is no less than that of "Water Margin".

This time, Simon still hopes that Zhang Dahuzi can serve as the helm of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and even the subsequent Jin Yong series.

It was difficult for Simon to understand the outside world's provocations and even abuses of Zhang Dahun Jin Yong's series. At that time, whether as an insider or an ordinary audience, Simon thought that Zhang's Jin Yong series was definitely the best version, no doubt about it. As for the praise of the Hong Kong version in the 1990s, it was not aesthetics, but feelings.

Just like a certain unforgettable historical allusion that Zhu Yuanzhang never forgets the bowl of "Jade White Jade Soup" before his success, because of the lack of film and television content at that time, some people would become classics when they read it.

When Wu Shanlin heard Simon ask about Zhang Dahuzi, he hurriedly said, "Zhang has agreed, boss, we have been meeting for a while, and he is still looking forward to meeting with the boss, but unfortunately he has not received an invitation this time."

"Just agree, forget it this time, there will be a chance in the future. In addition, if the other party is willing, you can pull him into Jinshu Media."

Wu Shanlin said: "Actually, Zhang already has this intention. Boss, if I go back, I will talk to the other party about this?"

"Can."

So it was not until after 10 o'clock in the morning that everyone he should have met had seen, and Simon officially set off to leave China. Lin Su stayed and expected to return to North America after spending the Lantern Festival with her family.

After the Boeing 767 was launched, Simon began to learn something else in the cabin office.

Or the ‘Westro effect’.

It is also a coincidence again. On February 4, the second day after Simon arrived in China, Hanbao Steel, which ranked 14th in South Korea and is also the second largest steel giant in South Korea, suddenly announced bankruptcy. The South Korean stock market fell sharply, which then spread to Japan, Singapore and other countries, causing a volatile decline in the stock market in Southeast Asia.

The main reason for the collapse of Hanbao Steel and Hanbao chaebols, which control more companies behind the scenes, is debt.

In order to expand rapidly, Hanbao Steel Company has been crazily promoting the construction of a tens of million-ton steel plant with only 2% of its own funds in recent years. The other 98% of the funds come from various banks, insurance and other financial institutions inside and outside South Korea. Not to mention how many of the violations are there. After all, slightly normal financial institutions should not provide a company with a 50-fold leverage loan. As a result, Hanbao Steel's capital chain broke, which triggered the collapse of the entire Hanbao Caibang.

These days, South Korea is also celebrating the New Year, but the South Korean government is in a state of great difficulty.

In order to avoid the collapse of the Hanbao chaebol with a total debt of more than 5.5 trillion yuan (equivalent to approximately US$7 billion), the South Korean government had to urgently provide 1 trillion won (about US$1.2 billion) in bailout funds to make up for the Hanbao chaebol's financial loopholes, so as to avoid systemic financial risks in the South Korean economy.

The wind blows in green duckweed.

The economic prosperity that began in Southeast Asia in the 1980s inevitably led to excessive investment in all walks of life. These investments not only consumed the wealth brought by the country's economic growth, but also caused investors to borrow heavily from the international market, thereby consuming the income brought by the seemingly booming export business.

All of this ultimately leads to huge debt problems hidden in the entire Southeast Asia region.

The debts need to be returned eventually.

The result of not being able to pay back is the first thing that the company goes bankrupt. After the company goes bankrupt, if there is a lack of remedy, it will cause problems in the capital chain of banks and other financial institutions, and even go bankrupt.

If the real industry is an organ, financial institutions are the bloodline that connects a country's economy.

If a single organ has problems, as long as it is repaired or even removed in time, it may not necessarily endanger life. However, once the blood vessels completely collapse, it will definitely be difficult to survive.

In this Korean Baosteel incident, the South Korean government restricted the negative impact through decisive rescue to financial institutions, that is, a country's bloodline, before the impact was encountered.

However, once the debt scale is too large and even the government cannot save it, the result will be a large-scale bankruptcy of financial institutions, and the impact will be transmitted overseas, and a large amount of international debt cannot be repaid. The rating agency will lower a country's credit rating and trigger bond selling. If someone cooperates with selling currency at this time, it will lead to a significant depreciation of a country's currency and the national wealth evaporates and dissipate out of thin air.

This is the economic crisis.

In fact, it is not just South Korea. Thailand, once the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, has begun to experience small-scale debt defaults in recent months. It is just because the scale is far less than that of Han Baosteel, which has not attracted much attention.

During the flight for more than ten hours, Simon read a thick stack of analysis materials on the economic conditions of Southeast Asia, but did nothing.

Still watching coldly for the time being.

Three billion dollars of funds have been lost to Soros, and Cersei Capital also has its own layout. When the general direction is correct, Simon is too lazy to go into the details.

This time, Simon's main target is South Korea.

In fact, Japan is even more attractive.

However, on the one hand, Japan's size is too large to eat. On the other hand, Japan's economy is actually far less open than the outside world imagines, and it can even be said to be quite closed and hard to chew.

South Korea is different.

After the upcoming crisis, South Korea's economy will be forced to open its doors to the world. Moreover, South Korea's current GDP volume of about 600 billion US dollars is also within the appetite of the Westeros system.

The most important point is that compared with other Southeast Asian countries, South Korea has many industrial fields that Simon is very interested in. It has set two goals in advance, including electronics and entertainment. After investigation and research in recent months, combined with the information in memory, there are two more specific items, shipbuilding and construction.

South Korea has reached the world's top level in the fields of shipbuilding and construction. The key is that it has considerable cost advantages. Investing in these two major industries will bring considerable future returns.

As for the electronics field, this is a pretty broad concept.

Simon hopes to cut off South Korea's entire industrial chain development in the electronics field through the Westeros system, and only serves as a component supplier for direct electronic giants such as Nokia and Tinkobaier in the Westeros system.

In this regard, the apples used to be a disaster.

Of course Simon won't make such a mistake again.

For example, Samsung, this time, you can only choose one of the semiconductor and LCD screens. Even in the semiconductor industry, Samsung can only choose one of them and will not allow it to develop in all aspects.

The final entertainment industry is to suppress all the music, film, television, and games.

After all, this is Simon's most familiar area.
