Chapter 240: Can You Make the Props More ...... First
"Oh, it turns out that you are investing, if that female star becomes popular in the future, like Sister Zhang, the first sister of TVC, the first sister of Shaw Brothers and the like. There will be more fans, and your first-hand signatures for the first time can indeed have a lot of collectible value, and the return is quite large...... Alas, I knew that I had come a little earlier just now to ask for an autograph and a group photo!" an old moviegoer slapped his thigh regretfully and muttered to himself.
Feelings, there is also an element of interest in this? not just liking, or are you betting on the future of a new star?
"Ha, when Fa Ge first debuted, I went up to him to ask for an autograph, and I pulled a torn collar with a signature on it and took it home. When Fa Ge was elected as the king of heaven, I took it to auction and exchanged it for tens of thousands of yuan, isn't it ......worth my salary for more than half a year?" An audience member who was holding a dozen books signed by Guan Zhilin just now proudly waved the loot in his hand to the person next to him.
Because there were so many people to sign autographs, and it was night, the light was not very good. This guy took the autograph and went to the side to line up again, and got more than a dozen signatures repeatedly. It's amazing, this thing also has scalpers?
But come to think of it, it's normal. People in big cities, especially in Hong Kong, are particularly investment-minded, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in the financial investment industry willing to try. And with a high average salary, it's no joke to be called the Asian Tigers.
As long as there are things that can be hyped, what kind of things and people exist, and there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big.
In China in later generations, after the economy developed, there were examples of collectibles and celebrity objects being hyped into sky-high prices?

He Zilong and his entourage ran away from the cinema, and not all the younger brothers who came with him left immediately. Some younger brothers are not celebrities, and no one pays attention to them. They listened to some of the chats of these fans on the spot, smiled at each other, and reported the information.
The next day, He Zilong, who got up, heard the report of his subordinates, and there was another expression of crying and laughing.
I thought to myself, I see.
When I went to bed at night, I still couldn't figure it out. Even if Guan Zhilin's movie is very good, no matter how fanatical the fans are that they have just generated, they shouldn't be fanatical to this extent? The relationship is also mixed with investment attributes, betting on the idea of letting the rich brainless fans behind them take over and make money in the future.
"Essentially, the hype in the collecting world, and the price of rising, no matter what, it's just looking for a pick-up man, right? This is normal, some people really don't care, how much the collection is worth, how much the return, just want to own it. Spiritual sustenance is still the goal of many people, and such a star object pick-up man is not uncommon in the entertainment industry......" He Zilong finally calmed down.
Once in later generations, Cai Xlin's "leftover" 23 sesame seeds were auctioned for 10,000 yuan, and when He Zilong saw it on the Internet before his rebirth, he was also shocked at that time.
In 2008, a seller listed on his website a "product" he wanted to sell: 23 sesame seeds.
He said that Cai Xlin sat diagonally behind him and ate breakfast, eating smoked chicken cakes with sesame seeds, and in the process of eating, sesame seeds were scattered. After the product was listed, there were 62 inquiries within a week, and it was finally sold at a sky-high price of 40,200 yuan in foreign currency (about 10,000 yuan).
Also, in 2008, she suddenly wanted to auction the toilet paper that she had wiped her snot on the Internet, although many people felt that it was dirty, but it still attracted dozens of nearly 100 fanatical fans to bid, after 83 fierce bids, the snot paper donated by the goddess was auctioned off on the Internet for 5,300 US dollars (36,000 yuan).
Fortunately, all the proceeds went to the U.S. Food Relief Agency, which is also a good deed.
There are many crazy things like this, and there is nothing that cannot be done, only the unexpected.

The week is almost over!
Bang!
Boss Lei's office door was pushed open heavily. Assistant Secretary A is usually extremely calm, but today there are some things that make people lose their calm.
"Boss, according to box office statistics, the box office of the three movies we co-screened in a week has reached 40 million ......" No wonder Secretary A lost his cool, it turned out that the box office results of the week were greatly unexpected, and he was a little too excited.
Compared with the box office of later generations of movies that exceeded 100 million at every turn, in the 90s, whether it was domestic, or foreign, or in Hong Kong. The money supply policy is not yet a flood mode, that is, the money is worth a lot of money now.
You can imagine how much salary you had a month in the 90s, and what were the prices at that time? So to speak, in the 90s, you had 500,000 yuan, which is basically counting the currency rate and the increase in prices and housing prices, which is equivalent to hundreds of nearly 10 million yuan in 2015.
In other words, if there are 40 million three movies at the box office at this time, it is equivalent to the total box office of the three movies is similar to about one billion in 201X.
This is an extremely rare income in the history of the Hong Kong box office. It can be recorded in the history of the Hong Kong entertainment industry and become a classic precedent!
"Hehe, don't be too excited, then ......" Compared with the excitement of Secretary A's assistant, Boss Lei is there. The reason for this is that he has been paying attention to these things every day for a week. When comparing the daily data, you can probably guess that eight or nine are not far from ten.
And these secretarial assistants, because there are many people, each person is responsible for a part of the thing, but there is no aggregated data. It is inevitable that the aggregate data has not been available until now, and it is inevitable that I will be surprised at once.
After listening to the report of Secretary A's assistant, Boss Lei nodded his satisfaction, and then suddenly his face turned straight, and he said, "Okay, the situation on our side is probably like this, I understand." From now on, let people inquire and summarize our opponents, their box office situation, and the situation of the handicap, etc., etc., etc., and after collecting it, report it to me in real time immediately......"
"Okay, boss......"
The next day, Secretary A came again.
"Boss, the average attendance rate of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest this week, the major theaters have also reached about 80%......"
"How much is the box office, I mean the sum of the two of them this week......" Boss Lei asked.
"More than a million more than our 40 million, what the hell, how could this happen. It's not fair, boss, we don't have as many cinemas as they do. And the other party is still two major snakes. It's too hard to make more box office than the two of them combined......" replied the secretary with a depressed face.
"What are they doing now......" Boss Lei continued to ask.
"I heard that the results will come out in two or three days, it seems that they are holding a celebration party in the hotel at this time......
"Hmph, it's just more than one million more box office, just hold a celebration party, I really don't know whether to live or die, be careful of the happy cup......" Boss Lei waved his hand, let the secretary out, walked back and forth in the room, and suddenly sat back at the table, picked up the phone, and dialed a few familiar numbers.
