Chapter 527: A summer movie appears on the streets
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
"Boss, the newspaper you wantedβ"
The driver handed a stack of newspapers to the back seat.
This is a loyal middle-aged man, named Li Shuzhi, who drives very steadily, and most importantly, he does not drag race, so it is difficult to be targeted by the river crab god. The man is newly fattened, and there are sons and daughters in the family, and ten children.
"Thank you. β
Wu Xiaozu bowed his head with a modest attitude, and asked casually: "I heard Ah Cheng say, Brother Zhi, your youngest son is going to middle school this year, have you found a good school?"
"I'm looking for it, I don't dare to hope for a prestigious school, I just want to find a school with a better environment in other districts, you know, Kwun Tong ......," the middle-aged man replied innocently.
"It's not just for the sake of my children to work all my life. β
Wu Xiaozu crossed his legs, the newspaper was unfolded on his legs, he trembled, and said with a light smile: "That's it, I'll ask Ah Hui to contact a good school here for the child."
For children, middle school is very important, and only after passing the secondary five entrance examination can you be admitted to university. A better environment will help him in the future.
After graduating, the salaries of famous college students start from seven or eight thousand Hong Kong dollars...... Easy and decent. β
GDP per capita rose from $5,700 in 1980 to $10,610 in 1988. Of course, GDP per capita may be a general thing, but in 1987, Hong Kong Island's per capita income was on par with that of the United Kingdom.
Beginning in the 70s, Hong Kong Island began to industrialize, and in the 80s, industrialization was completed. Begin the post-industrial era of international finance, ports, and trade centers. It has become one of the leading international cities in Asia and is beginning to rival Tokyo.
It can be said that the difference between Hong Kong Island and later generations in the 80s is not very big...... When you go to Hong Kong Island in the future, you will feel so old.
At this time.
The salary of a salesperson in an ordinary department store or supermarket is about 1,000 yuan. The hourly salary of part-time workers at Golden Arches is 5-7 HK$, and the hourly salary for white-collar workers and teachers is around 3000 HK$-5000 HK$.
Graduates from prestigious universities start at about 7,000 HK$.
"Thank you, boss!" Li Shuzhi hurriedly thanked him.
At his age, he can naturally figure out that the boss is buying his heart, but obviously this kind of purchase obviously makes him unable to refuse, and it is sent to his heart, which makes him more grateful than his money. The thought that his youngest son could go to a good middle school made him feel very happy.
also knows that for things that are difficult for him to go to heaven, it is just a gesture for a big man like others.
The most important thing is that an ordinary middle-aged man suddenly does the matter of his son going to school, can you imagine how much of a family status this will improve in the family?
Wu Xiaozu asked for a hum and accepted the other party's thanks.
He was a utilitarian and never went untargeted.
Although I didn't want the driver to learn the movie and Zhongli to block the knife for himself, at least he kept his mouth strict.
In these years, where to find a relationship to get a reason (A avenges his comrades-in-arms and kills prisoners/B violates discipline for his parents and stabs the enemy, and the old chief protects it. Squad C is destroyed, and disheartened D) The king of soldiers to serve as a driver and bodyguard?
And then it's a coincidence or not, but you can give grace, and the other party can't repay it, and from then on, the five bodies will die for you?
It's still that kind of shadow-type character, the ability of the thief is strong, the thief is loyal, and the thief doesn't like to talk......
There is no shortage of Bole, who said that there are often thousands of horses?
Wu Xiaozu did not shy away from buying people's hearts.
Shake off the "Ming Pao".
The corners of Wu Xiaozu's mouth curled.
"It seems that Boss Zou can't sit still. β
Since June, although "Little Man Weekly" has failed at the box office, it has not affected the strategic plan of 1024 Locomotive too much.
"God of Gamblers" began to enter the publicity period on a large scale.
Bus stop signs, newspaper advertisements, magazine advertisements, and street advertisements began to appear one after another.
At the same time, an advertisement for "God of Gambling" was also posted in front of the videotape of the "Director's Palme d'Or" "Suspect" distributed by Huanyu International, and the cooperative merchants also helped to advertise for a fee.
As of the day before yesterday, "The Suspect" had been rented/sold more than 10,000 times on Hong Kong Island.
The Wanwan region, Korea, Dongying, and Southeast Asia are about to enter the leasing market, and this income alone will not be less than 10 million revenues.
Huanyu International, known as "100 million", has acquired the old movies of many companies and the TV drama library of TVB and ATV, which is also in progress.
For example, in the past few years, the popular "Shanghai Tang" has 15 self-operated audio-visual stores + cooperative convenience stores, consignment points, supermarkets and grocery stores in Hong Kong, on average, each store will rent out more than 1.7-3.5 sets per day.
"Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" is the most popular in the rental market, with an average of more than 70+ videotapes rented every day, and the average rental time is about 2.5 days.
Despite the short lease period, the conversion and sales rate of videotapes is high, with the self-operated store in Mong Kok having the highest sales last month, with more than 280 videotapes sold.
Today, many companies don't appreciate the importance of film libraries. Although Huanyu International claims to be 100 million, it actually does not cost such a high price.
Nowadays, the home video tape market is a blue ocean.
Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Shaw Brothers' film libraries are all under negotiation, and Zhang Jiazhen and Lin Xiaoming have set up a special acquisition team to acquire the copyright of old films.
At this time, Pepsi on the Hollywood side was also established, and it was still far from 9,000 stores.
Huanyu International has begun to lay out Korea, Southeast Asia, Dongying, Wanwan, and even tentacles are also making contact with the mainland.
This 100 million investment actually includes the rebates of these stores, partners, supermarket outlets, and convenience stores.
The cooperation file of 7-11 convenience stores has begun to enter the track, after talking about the cooperation of Dongying 7-11. In the Wanwan area, we have negotiated with Uni-President Super Stores Co., Ltd. to enter the 7-Eleven convenience store in Wanwan. Hong Kong Island has also negotiated a 7-11 contract with Jardine Matheson International Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, to enter Hong Kong Island and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. At the same time, it also discussed cooperation with Korea East Asia Heunghan Company.
There are also woodpeckers and windmills on the French and Dutch sides.
If all goes well, within 5 years, the distribution of Huanyu International Laser Video Company will be spread to more than 20 countries or regions such as the Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Dongying, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Timor-Leste, Brunei, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pengcheng, Wanwan, Hong Kong Island, and Omen.
Of course, in the European region, it is certainly more symbolic than practical.
If the growth goes well, Uniworld International will be the Pepsi of the previous life. Of course, the North American market is the number one market in the entertainment industry today.
It's a pity that it's hard to get in easily.
"Hollywood Superstar Sylvester Stron Comes to Hong Kong to Promote New Play: Rambo Re-enters the Battlefield, Showing the Tenderness of an Iron Man, and the Ambition to Resist the War with His Bare Hands!" - "Ming Pao".
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Xiaozu couldn't afford to complain about this kind of promotional copywriting, and even flipped through it, all of which were touted for movies, and professional film critics used the good reputation of North America to help sell films.
Don't think about it, these are all things that Golden Harvest spent money on.
I flipped through "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily", and it was overwhelming with advertisements and soft tweets from various film companies.
There is no shortage of famous people like Cai Yan and Ni Mad who personally came on the scene to help shout.
Every summer, it is a gluttonous era of interests.
From investors, film production companies, copy companies, distribution companies, cinemas, food companies, peripheral product companies, to newspapers, publishing, advertising agencies, television stations, radio stations, film critics, paparazzi, sponsors, film distributors, ...... Wait, anyway, countless people on the link will benefit.
It's a huge chain of interests.
Therefore, not only the film company is setting off the atmosphere of the summer file, but every beneficiary is also setting off.
It's like Christmas and March 8 Festival in the mainland...... It's all a carnival day for merchants.
At this time, it can often mobilize the enthusiasm of consumers.
Coupled with the summer vacation itself, it has caused the summer file to become the most important schedule for film companies around the world.
Of course
The summer file is not only a carnival of local films, but also an entry of Western films. In recent years, the box office of Hong Kong films has continued to rise, but non-Hong Kong films have also begun to emerge.
The main reason is that more and more films are being invested by foreign funds and studios.
At the same time, Western films are also being introduced.
Golden Harvest introduced "Rambo 3", which is being screened in North America.
Of course, the film it really promotes is a film co-produced with Mak Dangxiong Film Production Company based on the "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" series. A comedy starring Zhou Runfa, Mei Gu, Zeng Zhiwei, Cheng Kuian and others - "Childe is Amorous".
Even in terms of publicity, Golden Harvest made a shameless effort to rub the popularity of "Gambling God: Start War Now". After all, Fa Ge is the male number one in both plays.
The summer file is like the "11.11" in the film industry, and all platforms have shown the greatest sincerity...... Circle money.
Golden Princess Cinemas also chose to release Hollywood's action film "The Ultimate Detective" (Die Hard) in July, and of course, the most important thing is Lin Lingdong's "School Storm".
Lin Lingdong is the iconic director of the Golden Princess at the moment.
The Fengyun series has also formed a personal style label, and this time "School Storm" is also very strategic.
Later, Xingzai's "Truant Dragon" "tribute" to this movie.
Xingzi is the most dedicated actor and director...... Respect yourself for nothing.
Debao is naturally not lagging behind, and the comedy movie "Chicken and Duck Talk" has also bought a lot of advertisements and hot blows. At the same time, the "chasing girls" type movie "Courtship Death Squad" directed by Wang Jing was also released.
In addition to "God of Gambling", Xinbao Cinema also released a Wang Jing's "Mr. Evil".
Wang Fatzi's summer file can be regarded as a pole, and he accounted for two at once.
You can also see the menacing comedy movies from here!
"Brother Zhi, just stop here and wait......"
Wu Xiaozu, who put down the newspaper and stopped reading, raised his wrist to look at the time.
At this time, someone not far away noticed the Heiji here.
Since chasing Wu Xiaozu a few times, the license plate of his black long-axle Mercedes-Benz 500SE has long been memorized by the paparazzi.
βZ404β
The two paparazzi glanced at each other, rolled down the half window, and pointed at the car.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, just when they thought that the car was parked at will, they suddenly saw Wu Xiaozu get out of the car, and not far away, six young and beautiful young girls greeted him, and then they saw Wu Xiaozu hugging one by one.
"Click, click, clickβ" The two cameras kept taking pictures, and it could be seen that Wu Xiaozu was very close to several girls, even ambiguous.
Big news!
During this time, Wu Xiaozu has been living in a shallow way, and even Gong Li and Chen Kaige did not accompany them in person when they came to Hong Kong. has been busy with the script and TVB's Miss Hong Kong Island.
Today was an absolute bonus!
"These girls can't be candidates for Miss Hong Kong, right??" Suddenly, a paparazzi couldn't help but guess.
"Wow, so the unspoken rule is to send this director Wu Da to the top in advance?"
The paparazzi next to him also said excitedly, "Keep an eye on where they go! If we dig up a photo of them entering a hotel or apartment together, we will make a fortune!......! Six women!"
β¦
"Qi Ye!"
Cai Shaoying's milk swallow threw herself into the arms of the forest.
Wu Xiaozu hurriedly caught it, his waist was very thin and soft, and the arc was very good. The big hand pretended to punish, patted the other party's compact and full buttocks, glanced at the other five small ones, straightened his face, and said, "You guys are really brave enough to sneak out." Do you know how worried people in the company are about you?
Your brother Jimmy is miserable, I guess he is being scolded by Mrs. Chen now!"
"Huh?" Cai Shao's face was pale, and she hurriedly turned back to ask the other five for help.
Li Xiaoyan, Li Meilin, and Zheng Xiuwen also put together smiling faces, while Yan Zhenghua secretly looked at Wu Xiaozu, her eyes rippling.
Sakai Spring Water (Sachiko Kamaike) has eyes like crescent moons, (>^Ο^<) looking at Wu Xiaozu, his eyes are spotless, but they are full of little madness.
"Qi Ye~"
Li Xiaohao's eyes were wide glutinous, hugging Wu Xiaozu's arm and shaking it back and forth to plead, "We know it's wrong, we don't blame Brother Jimmy for this matter, you can help...... Don't punish him, he's been nice to us......"
Six beautiful girls were around, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Hah...... Forget it, tease you. I'll go back and let Mrs. Chen take it lightly. Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, dispelling the seriousness just now. Where can you tell that he is behind the punishment of that agent?
"I hate it, Qi Ye!" Li Xiaoqi couldn't help but lightly hammer Wu Xiaozu with a punch, showing the grace of the girl.
"You don't introduce your team members?"
Wu Xiaozu glanced at the remaining few people, Yan Zhenghua naturally understood, and she was not too surprised to see Zheng Xiuwen, the company reported him.
However, the names Li Meilin and Sachiko Kamachi are not very familiar, and now they suddenly see it, but their eyes light up.
A wild beauty full of youth sports, a quiet and tranquil but beautiful report.
Li Meilin, she instantly sat down. The only one is this Sachiko Kamaike...... It looks familiar.
"This is our captain Sammi Zheng Xiuwen!" Li Xiaoqi smiled lightly and took the initiative to introduce.
"Wu Shenghao!" Zheng Xiuwen bowed respectfully.
This is the etiquette taught by the company. This etiquette was set by Wu Xiaozu at the beginning.
Although the etiquette requirements of the sticks are a bit strict, Wu Xiaozu thinks it is very good. Especially in a company like Stellar Entertainment, it is necessary to pay attention to the relationship between this class and seniors, which will help to fix these trainees, make them more obedient, and make money for the company more peacefully.
Besides, it is not strange that many people have courtesy, since they want to build an Asian heavenly group, they naturally have to start from every small detail.
"This is Coco Da Meilin!" Cai Shaojun introduced Li Meilin, and the other party was also very cute, and hurriedly bowed vigorously-
Wu Xiaozu instantly had the feeling that he was an old immortal in Xudong and was ridden by flying milk!
The other party is wearing small hot pants, with a camisole, although he is young, his figure is not small at all, and the two balls of papayas are also very sincere, shaking back and forth, absolutely genuine.
"Dangdangdang - this is the most talented, the most intelligent, and the most fond of reading in our girl TWICE!" Cai Shaojun introduced with a smile.
Sakai spring water??
Wu Xiaozu's eyes widened, and before he could digest the news, Sakai Izumi showed a 'gentle' smile and bowed slightly, "Hey, Wu Sang can call me Sachiko Kamaike! Sakai Izumi is my stage name......"
Sakai Izumi stared at Wu Xiaozu with clean eyes, and when he said his real name, his eyes were different.
All along, there are two people living in her heart: Sakai Izumi and Sachiko Kamaike!
One is a quiet singer! This is conservative!
One is the crazy true self! This one is rippling!
(If you are interested, you can check the original name of Sister Izumizu, Sachiko Kamaike, and you can look out of the album style.) οΌ
Wu Xiaozu squinted his eyes, this Dongying girl is a little special.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Xiaozu. You can call me Lao Wu, you can call me Oba, you can call me Grandma, or you can call me Qiye with Ada. But just don't call the boss, call Wu Sheng-"
Wu Xiaozu showed an "approachable" hypocritical smile and fooled these little girls.
At this age, he ate this set, and sure enough, the relationship between him and several women was closer in an instant.
In fact, he didn't care what the other party called him.
"Oba!hee-hee~"
Li Meilin squeezed her eyebrows at Li Xiaoyan and Cai Shaojun, complacent. But under the seemingly arrogant appearance, he didn't hide his careful thoughts.
It is not easy for a 14-year-old girl to dare to stay on Hong Kong Island alone and choose to be a star.
"Oba!" said solemnly, in a watery voice.
"Can I call you Lao Shi?" Sakai Izumi suddenly spoke, and he didn't know when he turned out a book in his hand, which was the Japanese version of Wu Xiaozu's "Suspect".
"You are my idol and my favorite writer, director and creator. Chinese don't you pay attention to the master of heaven and earth? I think you are my teacher...... Can you sign me?
"It doesn't matter. β
Wu Xiaozu took the pen and paper with a smile, danced with a dragon, and wrote a paragraph on the title page intimately:
Pen and paper are limited, so maybe it's more fun to try it yourself!
This sentence is also a sentence in "The Suspect".
Sakai Izumi looked down at this passage, his eyes flickering. She has a very complex personality.
Rarely peel back your true self. Or that the quiet side is actually true!
So she likes crazy things like "The Suspect" very much, and when she saw this movie, she felt like she could tear her soul apart.
Wu Xiaozu didn't pay attention to her changes, looked around, and said with a smile: "It's lunch time, I'll invite everyone to lunch." β
"Okay!" Li Meilin was the first to raise his hand in approval, his eyes glowing green.
Wu Xiaozu glanced at this girl with an open personality and smiled.
Here, he was about to take the six girls to dinner, and the paparazzi not far away followed directly.
Fools don't follow the big news!
Wu Xiaozu also didn't notice that he was being followed.
Despite his fame abroad, he is still a director after all. During this time, he himself adapted back from his heart, but he didn't know how interested the outside world was in him!
I don't know how many girls in "Mong Kok Carmen" have fallen in love with him, a big director who can obviously rely on his appearance, but he has to rely on his talent.
Especially recently, his news has been reported frequently.
In order to promote Miss Hong Kong Island with his popularity, TVB also took great pains to constantly appear in his interviews and reports on TV.
Of course, even if he knew, Wu Xiaozu wouldn't care too much.
