Chapter 2009 Selling
In fact, there are essential differences in the starting points between British dramas and American dramas. As for the entire film and television drama industry itself, British dramas are more miniaturized. They do not rely on advertising to make money, so the production of TV dramas basically depends on the vision of the project team. It has a big impact. There are also small productions. Due to budget problems, the number of episodes per season of large productions is very few, while small productions may be very long.
As for American dramas, their ratings competition is extremely fierce. If the ratings are not good, they will easily be cut off midway. At the same time, the production cost of the dramas is also very high. Therefore, American dramas are more weekly dramas. Each episode ranges from 50 minutes to 100 minutes.
Basically, there is one story per episode, especially for crime-related themes, such as "Criminal Minds". British dramas often have only one story per season because they need to be extremely comprehensive, such as "Small Town".
Due to the differences in the development of the TV drama industry between the two countries, people feel that American dramas are more commercial, while British dramas are more artistic. This is like the debate between commercial films and art films, but this issue has never been resolved, and both sides have produced excellent products. .
However, in comparison, Yang Cheng may be more interested in American dramas with compact plots, exciting scenes, and grand opening scenes. He always feels that British dramas are too petty, but the problem is that American dramas are inevitably contaminated with Hollywood routines. To put it bluntly, It's just that the commercial atmosphere is too strong, they are all products of the assembly line, and are subject to the broadcast format. It is easy to constantly pursue excitement, novelty and surprise just to please the audience. Sometimes it seems stiff, such as forcibly adding 19-ban plots.
Well, most rotten men and rotten women like to watch it, except for a few old diehards with old-fashioned ideas. As long as it fits the plot and does not destroy the logic of the script, there is nothing wrong with such a scene. If other actors dare to act, you, as an audience, still have to watch it. Don't dare to look?
In recent years, American dramas and British dramas have gradually become more integrated. Many major productions are jointly produced by the United States and the United Kingdom, and often produce high-quality products. So when Yang Cheng read the report, he decided to forward the report to Plepler for a look. It is still necessary to increase cooperation with British companies.
As for whether to set up a separate British branch to produce British dramas, Yang Cheng thinks it's better to wait and see.
The impact of Brexit was so wide that he couldn't tell it apart for a while.
From the UK's perspective, their purpose is very strong. The UK is not a euro zone country and has always maintained its own currency, the pound. As a long-established hegemon that has dominated the world for more than 200 years, the British are not stupid and cannot afford to gain anything. Morning, how can the British leave the EU without benefits?
Therefore, this matter is of great benefit to the UK. First of all, the huge membership dues are gone.
Although the membership fees in the UK are large, these membership fees also indirectly serve the UK. For a developed economy like the UK, this amount of money is nothing, but for the British people, this is not a small amount of money.
After Brexit, the UK will not have to pay dues at all, and will use these dues to improve people's livelihood and welfare. If something is good for the people, the people will naturally support it.
Secondly, an independent and free trading system comes into play. The EU's trading system is for the EU to negotiate with other countries around the world on behalf of each country. If the UK withdraws from the EU, it will no longer need to be restricted by the EU. They can negotiate directly with the country concerned, although it will take a long time. Longer, but the UK is totally fine with asking prices based on unique products.
And this time, it got rid of the trouble of refugees. After the UK withdraws from the EU, the UK does not need to interfere with the refugee issues in EU countries and can ignore them, because if the UK is not an EU member, it has no obligation to accept refugees.
As for whether trade will be affected, don’t forget that the UK still has the confidence to play its role as a member of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is a unique resource for the UK. The UK has completely ignored the EU and given full play to the role of the Commonwealth in the economic and trade system. have a greater say.
Furthermore, the EU has a set of strict production standards and regulatory systems that the UK must abide by within the EU. After Brexit, the UK can break away from the EU's 100 production standards and regulatory regulations, further reducing production costs and benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises. The development brings opportunities and can also increase the employment rate in disguised form.
In addition, while the UK is in the EU, it has to provide loans to EU students who come to study in the UK. On average, the UK accepts more than 70,000 EU students every year and borrows large amounts of student loans for them. It is impossible to repay the money. Brexit Later, this money will be saved to develop the education industry.
With all the benefits stacked up, it seems that Brexit is the general trend at present. This can also be seen from the choices of British citizens, but what about the impact on other industries?
Analysis can only be analysis. Only when things really go according to the route of your analysis can your prediction ability be proved. Before that, everything is empty talk.
Judging from Yang Cheng's current investment in the UK, only the hotel industry may be affected by Brexit.
In the short term, the British tourism industry will definitely be affected, but in the long term, the UK is still a relatively popular tourist destination. When people find that the UK is still very safe after Brexit, they will naturally buy air tickets to visit. As for re-applying for a visa It's cumbersome, but it's not too much trouble for people who really want to play.
Looking at it this way, as long as we survive the cold winter, spring will be ushered in with flowers blooming.
From another perspective, isn't this a good time to be super low?
What's more, this so-called cold winter may not freeze anyone to death~
Why do you say that? Since the idea of Brexit was born, the pound has entered a depreciation channel. In other words, tourists from non-EU areas can spend less money to visit the UK. This is quite attractive. The tourism industry is the hotel. The biggest reliance is that as long as there is a steady flow of guests, the basic operating conditions of the hotel can be guaranteed. Even a short-term drop in occupancy rate is not unacceptable.
After all, the British hotel industry has always been known for its high value retention rate.
To take a step back, London is the economic center of the UK, and the main business activities in the UK are concentrated in London.
Even if the UK economy declines after Brexit, the hotel industry will be hardest hit by other regional cities, and London will show its good resilience at this time.
On the other hand, if the British economy declines, the British domestic tourism market will shrink; and the depreciation of the pound will attract more international tourists.
London is the UK's largest tourist destination and a top international tourist destination. Calculated in terms of passenger volume, London is the world's second largest tourist city after Bangkok. Other tourist cities in the UK will mainly be affected by the reduction in domestic consumption in the UK. And was impacted.
??Due to the depreciation of the pound, London asset prices have dropped compared to previous levels in foreign currency terms. London is one of the most mature and stable investment destinations in the world. In the view of people like Yang Cheng, entering the London investment market at this time is An excellent opportunity to acquire core assets at a low price, a trend reflected in the booming hotel investment market in the UK in recent years.
??Based on the judgment that the operating conditions of the London hotel industry continue to improve, holding London hotels can obtain ideal cash flow, which is also an important reason for attracting funds to invest in the London hotel industry.
??Due to the massive inflow of funds, thereby pushing up asset prices, London hotel assets have significant asset appreciation potential.
On the one hand, hotel owners have higher profit margins, because buying now is a bargain. On the other hand, investors see the capital appreciation capabilities and good operating conditions of London hotel assets and hope to enter the market. It is expected that the London hotel investment market will remain active in the future. .
Therefore, Yang Cheng is already considering selling off some assets in cities outside London in exchange for funds to buy low-priced London hotels.
As for the assets outside London he was talking about, it was naturally the Castle Hotel project in partnership with William and Hugh Grosvenor.
Thinking of this, he picked up his cell phone and called William, intending to ask his opinion first.
"hey man~"
"Is it convenient for you to talk?"
"Of course, I'm at Kensington Palace~"
"I want to discuss with you. I'm going to sell my shares in the Castle Hotel project. Are you and Xio interested in taking over?"
"What? You want to sell your shares? Why? Are you having financial difficulties?"
"That's not true. It has something to do with the company's investment plan~" Yang Cheng said vaguely.
However, he did not hide it from William, "Come on, you cunning businessman, you must have a better investment project that needs to be exchanged for funds, right?"
Yang Cheng was speechless, could you guess this? Is it roundworms in the stomach?
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'm optimistic about London's future hotel market, so I'm going to buy the bottom~"
"Shit, I knew you were holding back the idea of making money. If I hadn't found out, you would have run away~"
Yang Cheng covered his forehead, "First of all, I'm not sure of 100% success. Once I fail, I can bear it. Can you bear it?"
"I didn't invest much money, so what can't I bear? I don't care, man, don't even think about running away unless you take me with you~"
Yang Cheng laughed, "Then you tell Xiu yourself, we will sell the shares to him, and then take the money to London to hunt for bargains~"
"Okay, okay, let's do it like this, this guy has a lot of money~"
"Are you going to tell him?"
William hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll talk to him, but I don't know if he can agree~"
"This project still has great prospects in the future, and his family is rooted in the UK and can be said to be bound to this country. He is looking at long-term investment rather than immediate vested interests, which is different from me~"
William complained, "You're talking as if I'm not British~"
"Hey~ you are British, but you have no money~"
Yang Cheng may be the only one in the world who dares to tell William to his face that you have no money!
"Well, compared to a wealthy person like you, I must be poor, that's why I want to make money with you~"
"Again, I am not responsible for the results. Buying the bottom is gambling. Everyone loses sometimes~"
"It doesn't matter, I believe you~"
