La forgeronne d'un autre monde - Chapitre 319
Investing 500 million of that 500 billion yuan in Yida Cinemas right now would be a good choice!
Everyone was stunned.
Originally, these people thought that Ma Yunteng had used all his money for the construction of the Calorie Group, but unexpectedly, Ma Yunteng could easily come up with 100 billion yuan on his own!
How much money does Jack Ma actually have?
To be honest, even Ma Yunteng himself probably doesn't know how much money he has!
After all, he's a man with the Godly Rich System. Who knows how much money he has? According to the system, past Godly Rich owners have all easily amassed trillions of galaxy assets. Who the hell knows how much money they have!
Anyway, there's plenty of money I can't spend!
“Alright, I’ve already explained the basic concept of Yida Cinemas. There are two more issues that are particularly important, so let me tell you about them too!” Ma Yunteng took a sip of coffee and continued, “Since it’s a cinema, the viewing experience is also very important. So, Zhao Peng, go and inform TR later and ask them to speed up the production process, aiming to produce 100 million TR lenses within a week! Every customer who comes to our cinema to watch a movie can wear TR lenses for free!”
"Okay!" Zhao Peng said excitedly. The other executives were also excited. After all, TR technology was too amazing. The realism of ordinary 3D cinemas was just so-so, but as long as you wear TR lenses, the realism can be directly increased to 99%. If TR technology is applied to cinemas, it will definitely give the audience an unparalleled movie-watching experience!
What 3D technology? Compared to TR, it's nothing at all!
"Of course, for the film and television industry, these are just advantages in terms of hardware! And relying solely on hardware advantages is actually not enough to completely attract audiences," Ma Yunteng suddenly looked at everyone and said seriously, "Have you all thought about this question: what is most important for the film and television industry?"

Chapter 225 I Bought It for 10,000 Words Per Thousand [2 Updates]
The senior executives were all somewhat taken aback.
The multi-functionality of this cinema is already very attractive, and with the addition of TR technology, it is unparalleled in the country. It can be said that it will overthrow Qianda Cinema and monopolize the film and television industry in no time.
But now the boss is saying that none of this matters, and that there are things that are even more important to the film and television industry!
"Service quality?" one of the executives said. In his view, cinemas are simply places for people to relax and have fun. As long as it's for relaxation and entertainment, service quality is very important. Calorie Internet Cafe became very competitive because it employed only beautiful female waitresses. He guessed that Ma Yunteng was going to talk about service issues.
"Well... service quality is only a necessary factor. As long as everything is done according to the standards of an internet cafe, it's fine. But for the film and television industry, service quality isn't exactly a very important thing," Ma Yunteng said with a smile.
"That's the ticket price?" Zhao Peng asked in astonishment. "Boss, you don't mean to open our expensively built cinema to customers for free, do you? That won't do!"
Given Ma Yunteng's style, Zhao Peng was quite worried about this issue.
"Well, we definitely can't offer free admission. Since we've invested, we have to get a return on our investment!"
Ma Yunteng said earnestly, "Here's the plan: once all the cinemas are built, we'll offer a week of free screenings! After that, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will be charged normally, Tuesdays and Thursdays will be charged at a 65% discount, and weekends will be charged at a discounted rate or double the rate depending on whether the customer is a member! Of course, during this period, it's also very necessary to occasionally hold giveaway events to attract customers!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The charging method that Ma Yunteng mentioned is actually quite reasonable. In the early stages, it's free or offers discounts. Once things stabilize in the middle stages and audiences get used to watching movies at Yida Cinemas, then there are discounts for members and double the price for non-members. In this way, it can be said that the policy forces customers to become members of Yida Cinemas.
"Boss, just tell us the most important point already, we can't think of anything else!" Zhao Peng said awkwardly, he really couldn't understand what Ma Yunteng was trying to say. The other executives were also deep in thought and smiling bitterly, but they all felt that the important points had already been said.
"Copyright," Ma Yunteng slowly uttered these two words.
"Boss, you wouldn't be thinking of...?" A thought struck Zhao Peng, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer!" Ma Yunteng glanced at the time; it was getting late, and the meeting should be over soon. He lit a Double Happiness cigarette and said casually:
"The quality of a film or television work is the most fundamental factor in attracting audiences! And the quality of a film or television work is closely related to two factors: the production team's shooting skills and the script's or the work's inherent appeal!"
Ma Yunteng paused and said, "So, regarding the above two points, here's my plan! First, we need to set up a dedicated production team, and we'll offer high salaries to invite famous directors from all over the country and even overseas! For example, we should definitely invite James Cameron, the director of Avatar! We should also invite some of the big domestic directors who don't engage in any sexual harassment of their female subordinates!"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
Even director James Cameron was invited to provide guidance, so even the worst script can be filmed very well, right?
"Okay, boss, I'll find a way to get in touch with those big directors right away!" Zhao Peng seemed to have already seen the future of Yida Cinemas.
“No, no, no,” Ma Yunteng waved his hand at Zhao Peng and continued, “General Manager Zhao can leave this kind of work to the publicity department. I have more important things for you to do!”
"Is there something more important?" Zhao Peng asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I've already said that the quality of a work depends on the production team's skill and the script's appeal. We'll invite a renowned director to provide guidance. There's still one issue left: the script! That's where you'll need to take care of it!"
"Boss, how exactly do we do it?" Zhao Peng asked.
"My idea is this: most film and television works at this stage are still rewritten from scripts, but in the future, they will definitely have to follow this direction. As you can see, many online works are now being adapted for the screen. So, I have a bold idea!"
We've directly signed contracts with all the well-known online writers, such as Mao Ni, Tiancan Tudou, Xue Hong, Er Gen, Xiao Ding, and many more—all of them have signed strategic agreements! As for the price, we guarantee the highest possible rate!
“Okay, I’ll contact them right away!” Zhao Peng said.
“Wait a minute,” Ma Yunteng waved his hand at him and continued, “I haven’t finished yet. Actually, these great writers do write very well and have a huge fan base, but we can’t rely solely on them!”
Even the most talented authors can only manage one excellent work a year! To achieve the success of Yida Pictures, we need to discover more promising authors on a large scale! Therefore, I have a support program for struggling authors!
A support program for struggling authors?
"Those kinds of authors have all flopped, why are you supporting him? Even if you support him, can he still write excellent works?" Everyone was somewhat stunned.
To be honest, Tencent has already taken the lead in this regard. Many well-known online writers have signed agreements with Tencent to directly export their copyrights. Moreover, Tencent currently holds a large number of famous IPs, and movies, TV series, and comics have been adapted into hugely successful works, generating substantial profits!
However, the penguins only focused on those top-tier players.
They know perfectly well that top-tier authors are the ones who make the money, and they have absolutely no interest in struggling authors who have millions in sales!
"Boss, what's the point of supporting struggling authors? We need to make money!" Zhao Peng asked, puzzled. The other executives also looked bewildered.
"That is a fallacy!"
