The video rental store chain plan is divided into three parts according to Yuan Tianfan's top-level design: the North American market, the Asian sector and the European continent. ??Among the three major markets, the North American market has benefited the most from the leasing business. Relatively speaking, Asian countries are far underdeveloped and the profits are relatively small. But in terms of ease of access, on the contrary, there are basically no barriers to entry between North America and the United States. The current situation in Europe is the economic integration of Western Europe, and there are no obstacles. But Asia is different. Each country is an independent economy. , the differences in institutional culture and law are huge, and a large amount of money needs to be invested to unblock and integrate them in order to achieve the same efficiency. Yuan Tianfan described the Asian market as "three points and one center", with Hong Kong as the film production and sales center, and Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore as the support points for the lifeline of the Hong Kong film industry. Among them, the Japanese film market has the largest cake, but there are very few Hong Kong film companies that can take a bite, so Taiwan has become the largest sales market for Hong Kong films. It can be seen that Taiwan's video tape market has become an important part of whether it can strangle the lifeblood of Hong Kong's film and television industry. £® £® £® £® £® £® £® £® £® £® £® £® "Sister Jiajia, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Outside the Grand Hotel, Zhang Shaoping held Zhang Aijia's hand and said. "You're welcome." Zhang Aijia nodded at Zhang Shaoping and drove away quickly. After getting along with her for a day, Zhang Shaoping finally understood why this seemingly quiet woman could portray the image of a man-in-law so vividly. Zhang Aijia has very different personalities in Hong Kong and Taipei. When she is in Hong Kong, she is restrained and quiet, but when she is in Taipei, she seems to be a completely different person, active, rebellious, public, and full of vitality. Everything is related to the "second generation" The description can be applied to her completely. Zhang Aijia¡¯s maternal grandfather was Wei Jingmeng, who was quite influential in the Taiwanese authorities during his lifetime. This person went to Taiwan in 1949 and served as the vice president of Taiwan's "Central News Agency" in October 1950. In 1954, he became the general manager of "China Broadcasting Corporation". He also served as the chairman of the Preparatory Committee of Taiwan Television Corporation. In 1966, he served as The sixth information director of the Kuomintang's "Executive Yuan", and was again transferred to the president of Taiwan's "Central News Agency" in 1972. Until his death in October last year as the "National Policy Advisor to the Presidential Office." It can be said that Wei Jingmeng was deeply trusted by the Chiang family and his son throughout his life, and he was highly respected among Taiwanese politics and businessmen. Although he has passed away, the relationships he maintained during his lifetime still take care of Zhang Aijia and allow her to enjoy endlessly. Moreover, the ambiguous relationship between Zhang Aijia and the "Second Prince" Jiang Xiaowu makes people dare not offend her. Zhang Shaoping is 100% sure that New Art City hired Zhang Aijia as the director of the Taiwan branch because of her background and background in order to open up Taiwan's distribution market. "Ahu, how do you feel about coming to Taiwan?" Seeing Zhang Aijia's figure disappear into the night, Zhang Shaoping patted Chen Feihu on the shoulder and asked with a smile. Chen Feihu was silent for a while and then said: "Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in the three places need to deepen their understanding of each other and reduce misunderstandings and emotional barriers." "You, you are so boring!" Zhang Shaoping rolled his eyes and walked into Yuanshan University Restaurant. The Grand Hotel Taipei is not only a major landmark in Taiwan and a high-end place for high-class banquets, but also the shadow of this treasure island, remembering countless glorious history. Soong Mei-ling once entertained visitors here, and many celebrities and dignitaries stayed here when they visited Taiwan. It can be said that it is a gathering place. Its unique palace-style building has Chinese characteristics and has become a world-famous hotel. In the past, there were hundreds of heavily guarded guards around the Grand Hotel, which was almost "isolated" from ordinary people. It's just that with the development of Taiwan's economy in recent years, the political atmosphere has become more relaxed and free, and ordinary people with money can enjoy the services of the Grand Hotel. Entering the hotel, Zhang Shaoping was about to take the elevator back to his room, when suddenly a man in black blocked his way. Before Zhang Shaoping could react, Chen Feihu was already standing in front of him, warily guarding against the man in black. The two of them looked at war with each other, and their eyes were as sharp as a bone scraper, which was chilling. The man's eyes passed over Chen Feihu, landed on Zhang Shaoping, and said: "Mr. Zhang, come with me, someone wants to see you." "Oh, but I don't know who wants to see Zhang?" Zhang Shaoping pushed aside Chen Feihu's body and faced him directly. The man. "Zhang Sheng!" Chen Feihu said anxiously. He knew that this man in black was definitely a well-trained military man. If he was too close, he was not sure he could stop the opponent's killer blow. "It's okay." Zhang Shaoping seemed very calm. The Grand Hotel is a place where foreign guests gather. Maybe there will be foreign media staring at this place at this time, regardless of black and white, the powerful and the blackEven if I gave them a water tank to embolden them, no one would dare to mess around here. The man in black stretched out his hand, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Mr. Zhang, won't you know when you get there?" Zhang Shaoping thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, let's lead the way." Doesn't anyone know his name, Zhang Shaoping? There may not be many people who know his whereabouts. At least on Treasure Island, only the authorities have this ability. The Grand Hotel has Golden Dragon Hall, Phoenix Hall, Qilin Hall and other restaurants. Among them, the state banquet hall of Golden Dragon Hall is mainly used to entertain foreign guests. In addition to the state banquet hall, the Golden Dragon Hall also has plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo, and Jin Bixuan boxes. The person looking for Zhang Shaoping was in the Jin Bixuan box. After knocking on the door, Zhang Shaoping saw two men sitting and chatting happily. One of them, whom he had seen frequently on Taiwanese TV channels, was Song Chuyu, the then Information Director. The other man was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he was gentle and elegant. "Director Song!" Whether it's magazines or movies, everything is under the control of the Information Bureau. When Zhang Shaoping saw the head of the Information Bureau, he naturally greeted him with a smile. Before Zhang Shaoping could introduce himself, Song Chuyu had already stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is here? Song did not treat you well and was neglectful!" This was the first time for the two of them to meet, but they seemed to have known each other for a long time. , no sense of strangeness at all. "This is the second young master of Jiang, Xiaowu." Song Chuyu pointed at the man with black-rimmed glasses and said. "Sit down!" Jiang Xiaowu said with a faint smile. This "Second Prince" has a high posture, giving Zhang Shaoping a feeling of looking down. Zhang Shaoping was not surprised. This is a common problem among all second-generation people, and they naturally have a sense of superiority in their hearts. Zhang Shaoping became much calmer after being able to see the person who made the decision. It was a knife to extend his head, and it was a knife to shrink his head. Sooner or later, he would be slaughtered. It would be better to see him early than to see him later, so as not to be frightened. During the dinner, Jiang Xiaowu rarely interrupted. Basically, Zhang and Song were talking, focusing on topics such as culture, news media, film and television in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Zhang Shaoping is young, but if a young man can start from scratch and get rich quickly, no matter what, he cannot be underestimated. For example, Zheng Mianmian, who was once widely rumored to have had an underground affair with Jiang Xiaowu, started working at the age of 15 and managed a family textile factory with 15,000 workers at the age of 19. This kind of person can only be said to be a genius. Song Chuyu mentioned the sluggishness of Taiwanese films in recent years and said: "In order to boost domestic films, cultivate film talents, improve the connotation and standards of film artistic creation, and encourage filmmakers to diversify their thinking and create excellent works, the Information Bureau has been in the Republic of China for 67 years. The establishment of the Golden Harvest Award was originally a great thing, but the Information Bureau¡¯s funds have always been limited and it has become increasingly helpless in supporting it.¡± Zhang Shaoping heard Xian Ge¡¯s idea and immediately smiled: ¡°Supporting domestic films is very important for promoting local films. Our Chinese-speaking culture is a good thing, how can we only rely on the money and efforts of Taiwanese compatriots? As a member of the Chinese-speaking community, I fully support the Golden Harvest Award." Zhang Shaoping glanced at the two people at the table. He continued slowly: "I plan to set up a special film bonus fund to provide NT$5 million to the Golden Harvest Awards every year to reward filmmakers. In addition, for more excellent films, I can provide them with a reasonable price that is no less than the production cost. Price buyout, or agency distribution. "The films participating in the Golden Harvest Award selection are all short films, and the picture quality is relatively low, such as using home cameras. The people who took the pictures were either just playing for fun, or amateurs, or it was the graduation work of film school students, or it was the first time a director could not find investment and had to spend his own money to film it. Anyway, it was all done out of love. Take the guide tube. These people are short of money and opportunities. Generally speaking, short films have no screening value. If there are no special film awards to recognize these people and provide bonuses to subsidize production costs, most people will basically just play them. In fact, Taiwan's Film Industry Development Foundation announced the "Measures for Rewarding Excellent Short Films" last year, distributing NT$3 million every year, which is a real support in the implementation of bonuses. Zhang Shaoping¡¯s NT$5 million was just the icing on the cake. Song Chuyu didn¡¯t think much of it, but the promise to buy out or distribute excellent films later made his eyes light up, and he started to think about it while drinking tea. The distribution market for short films is very narrow, and there is basically no possibility of it being released. Even if it is recorded on video tape, it is difficult to guarantee that the cost can be recovered. It would be great if Zhang Shaoping is willing to take over. "People like Mr. Zhang who enthusiastically support Chinese cultural undertakings are really rare!" Song Chuyu put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we have the determination and ability to protect the interests of regular business operators like you! TV recording If Zhang Shaoping hadn¡¯t already learned from Zhang Aijia, Taiwan was preparing to crack down on the illegal recordings!In the piracy market of video tapes, after listening to Song Chuyu's words, I can't tell you how much they really think highly of me. In order to boost domestically produced films and television, Taiwan has used many means such as copying laws, film laws, bonuses, bans, crackdowns on piracy, quota reductions, etc., but the effect is - it is quite effective on television. The film industry is in decline. After drinking two glasses of wine, Song Chuyu excused himself to the toilet and made room for Zhang and Jiang. Zhang Shaoping knew that the highlight was coming. Sure enough, as soon as the compartment door was closed, Jiang Xiaowu suddenly said, "You have been with Jiajia today?" "Sister Jiajia took me to make a few friends." Zhang Shaoping smiled and said. "Oh." This guy said "Oh", and I don't know what his attitude was, but Zhang Shaoping didn't dare to misunderstand this lawless "second prince", and then explained: "I want to open a video rental chain store in Taiwan. Company. I know that Sister Jiajia is a local person, so I want to ask her to manage this company." Then he said with a self-deprecating smile: "I am a very hopeless person, and I only like to make friends in the entertainment industry." "Jiajia Tai. You're so willful!" Jiang Xiaowu frowned and said. Zhang Shaoping cursed, when it comes to willfulness, you don¡¯t have to give in too much! "The Second Prince" Jiang Xiaowu is a famous person. He has long suffered from diabetes and hyperlipidemia. He likes to take insulin and likes to drink. However, he usually does not drink more than three drinks. More than three drinks must be a "good thing". His good thing is sex, and he also has a special hobby, that is, he likes wives. This guy¡¯s first wife said goodbye to him only six months after returning to Taiwan. The reason was that he was attracted to flowers, especially the beauties in the entertainment industry. He never stole food, but played with women openly, so he always made troubles known to everyone. The first is Taiwanese goddess-level popular singer Cui Taijing. Their relationship became a sensation. Jiang Xiaowu was even Cui Taijing's first love. Next is Zhang Aijia. The two families have been friends for generations, and it can be said that they are in love with each other to the death. The third one is Li Ao's ex-wife Hu Yinmeng, who had an office romance. Jiang Xiaowu has successively served as the chairman of Huaxin Culture Company, director of China Central Radio, chairman of the Radio and Television Association, standing member of the News Party Department, and now he is also the general manager of China Broadcasting Corporation. Taking advantage of his position, he began to get involved with Taiwan's first-line actresses. For example, Lin Fengjiao followed Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia to leave Hong Kong, and Zhang Sijia stayed away from Taiwan. This may not be because he was avoiding the clutches of Jiang Xiaowu. Jiang Xiaowu is famous for his domineering power. When he was the chairman of Huaxin Culture Company, he unified three TV stations to engage in simulcasting and production. When he fell in love with Cui Taijing, he actually ordered TVB to create a program specifically for Cui Taijing. It was like TVB forcing a program to replace "Happy Tonight". It was so messy! While filming the movie "Plum Blossoms", Jiang Xiaowu met Zhang Aijia and realized that the little girl who played in the mud when she was a child had grown up, and sparks immediately sparked. Once Zhang Aijia and Lin Qingxia were filming "A Dream of Red Mansions", the gangsters often came to harass them. In anger, he ordered the commander-in-chief of the security forces Zheng Weiyuan to arrest all the gangsters who were causing trouble, which made the gangsters hear the news. Zhang Aijia's name is avoided like a snake or a scorpion. That's not all. After Zhang Aijia broke up with Jiang Xiaowu, she met the movie star Jinchuan. Once, Jinchuan came to Taipei to visit Zhang Aijia. Jiang Xiaowu actually ordered the security headquarters to arrest Jinchuan and torture him. Damn it, Zhang Shaoping would not dare to provoke such a lawless "second generation". (To correct the previous article, Taiwan only has the Information Bureau, the Ministry of Education and the Council for Cultural Affairs. The Council for Cultural Affairs was not transformed into the Ministry of Culture until 2000. Therefore, the "Cultural Bureau" does not exist. Film and television, news, publishing and the like It should be the affairs of the Information Bureau.) </a><a>Mobile phone users please read it. </a>
