"Wu Dao ......"
"Hey, your own people, just call me Azu. โ
Wu Xiaozu's friendly face was full of familiar enthusiasm, and Lin Xiaoming, who looked like the Hong Kong version of the egg, was very cramped.
"The sales and rental of the videotapes of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" are very good, and Brother Xiao Ming has worked hard. Tea instead of wine, I'll toast youโ"
Xiao Ming looked at the tea cup in his hand with a wry smile, he was also inch-headed, the other party was handsome and could play the leading role in idol dramas, and was rated as the most handsome director in Hong Kong by "Daily Daily", but he couldn't sleep all night, he could lose his hair all night, and his hairline kept falling......
"Brother Zu, ...... you called me in the middle of the night?"
"I know that you have been busy for the past two days and can't sleep, so I specially called you to drink ginseng tea. With this shareholder trend, the video tape business should be able to go to a higher level, right?" Wu Xiaozu felt that the ginseng tea was in his stomach and replenished his vitality.
What do you mean I can't sleep in the last two days? I haven't slept well......
Lin Xiaoming's face was slightly resentful, since he was "surrendered" by Cai Zhiming, he had not slept a day peacefully. His wife and he felt particularly depressed. In the past, his wife was with him, and he always felt that someone was following him.
He had been terrified all along.
It's not that I didn't think about calling the police, but there are too many outlaws around the other party...... Alarm may not be effective, and the symptoms are not cured.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have introduced 'Ye Gongzi' to Cai Zhiming. It's a pity that Cai Zhiming didn't just come out to do things, and he was not easy to coax.
"The videotape market is slow to produce results, but it is not as cost-effective as making movies. โ
Lin Xiaoming sighed in a low voice, his face tired.
He is personally very optimistic about the development of the videotape market, but Cai Zhiming is ambitious, and with the LLL-level movie frenzy triggered by "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1", his mind is also on independent production - the attraction of 30 million is too great. He invested more than one million at the beginning, and the return was more than a few hundred!
"There is a lack of financial support for the installation of video tape shops. Cai Sheng's side is not too willing to increase investment.
After all, Hong Kong Island has just started, and if you want to completely establish your own channels, you need at least a few million. This also takes into account the annual increase in shop rents.
Although he can also see that the video tape market has great potential, it is too slow to cultivate the market and cannot achieve results in a short time. โ
"The videotape market is growing rapidly in North America. Hong Kong Island should also be promising. In business, there is always a risk. If you don't pay, where will there be a return?" Wu Xiaozu deliberately followed the good guide, "You haven't thought about developing the Wanwan and Southeast Asian markets?"
"The Butcher on a Rainy Night", "The Birth of a Word", and "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" have received a good response in the market, especially the third-level movies.
A few actors can attract millions of investments, and this kind of business is not comparable to the videotape market. Despite the popularity of the videotape, it would be a fool's dream to say how much profit it suddenly brought in.
"It's hard to develop without money, which requires a lot of film sources......"
Lin Xiaoming saw the reality very clearly, and when he said this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he looked at Wu Xiaozu who was smiling in front of him, and subconsciously blurted out, "Wu Sheng, ......what do you mean?"
"What do you think I mean?"
Wu Xiaozu took the cup unhurriedly, his eyes were calm, "Boss Lin, I said at the beginning, we have the foundation for cooperation. โ
The development layout of 1024 Locomotive Film Company is inseparable from the overseas distribution network. The videotape business is an indispensable part of the distribution process.
If this is his wish, then Wu Xiaozu will become the largest publisher in Southeast Asia.
It is even possible to support a few 'video production companies' instead of being limited to theatrical films.
In later generations, the IPCC continued to promote the big cake of carbon dioxide emission rights, and several old empires were also stifling China's development rights.
It seems to be reasonable, for the sake of all mankind, but it is not fair at all, and it is even a trap at all. This unfairness is the discourse power created by the West.
The right of distribution is actually the "emission right" of the film industry, and it is also the right of development.
In later generations, the reason why DreamWorks was stifled by the Big Six was that in addition to financial problems and resource suppression, the most important thing was that it did not master the core distribution ability from beginning to end.
In this regard, Lionsgate has done a very good job, and its video tape distribution routine is also an invincible weapon at this time!
The 1024 locomotive is not going to learn from the later DreamWorks, but Lionsgate.
Lin Xiaoming is definitely a talent.
From his previous life, he can fight his way out of the video tape market, which shows his sensitivity to the market.
"Jingle bellโ"
Stretching out his hand to signal Lin Xiaoming to wait, Wu Xiaozu picked up Motorola Big Brother.
Cai Sheng...... Good evening. โ
Wu Xiaozu looked at Lin Xiaoming, who was hesitant and uneasy, smiled at him, and continued to talk on the phone.
"Oh, it's just a supper~ You say-"
"Azu, I got acquainted with several big plumbers, and they are all very interested in filming, is it inconvenient to meet them?"
In the car, Cai Zhiming had an uninhibited expression, and said to Wu Xiaozu with a smile, "Tonight, when I pushed Pai Gow on Aomen Street, a few Dutch friends talked about movies." I'll tell them, Wu Xiaozu doesn't know? That's my good brother. They were so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, clamoring to get to know you......"
Wu Xiaozu looked at Lin Xiaoming, who was restless, and said with a smile, "Okay." โ
"By the way, do you pay attention to the profits of the videotapes? I will call Ah Ming out one day and ask him to divide the dividends. โ
Cai Zhiming leaned back on the car seat with a chuckle, "Azu, do you have to be empty? It's better to start working together in a few dramas to make money." Everyone cooperated quite happily in "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" this time...... I want to continue working together...... Your little guy shouted together. โ
"I'm afraid the time is not very convenient. Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly.
"I'm so embarrassed in front of my friends when you say that......"
Cai Zhiming laughed heartily, "I know that you are a busy person, so it is better to be like this." You don't want me to be embarrassed in front of my Dutch friends, do you?"
"Of course I don't want you to lose face, Cai Sheng. How can we lose face in front of the Dutch. You can talk to him about my little guy's schedule, but-" Wu Xiaozu's smile instantly brightened.
Lin Xiaoming swallowed.
"Huh?"
"Universal International. โ
There was silence on the other side.
At this time, Cai Zhiming, who was sitting in the car, sat up straight, stared at himself in the reversing mirror, and said with a smile: "Azu, are you so concerned about the video tape business?"
"There's a vision. Wu Xiaozu also smiled.
He has never treated Cai Zhiming as a fool, rather than hiding it, it is better to be true and false. Everyone can see the prospect of the videotape market, and Wu Xiaozu does not have an aura of reducing intelligence, and it is not easy to fool the other party into the urn.
"Okay, let's talk. โ
Cai Zhiming's eyes were smiling, and his mouth was very enthusiastic. Hanging up the phone, his eyes flickering.
"Ponytail, you say that the video tape market is profitable?"
"Of course, the tapes are so popular now. The driving horse replied without looking back.
"You all know it, Wu Xiaozu has no reason to show it so bluntly? Isn't he afraid that I will be jealous? Or does he have other plans?" Cai Zhiming muttered to himself.
"LLL Film & Video Tape...... Is this street fight really so optimistic about the videotape?"
Cai Zhiming fell into deep thought, not understanding why Wu Xiaozu suddenly became so straightforward.
In his opinion, Wu Xiaozu is a person who farts all adulterated with three points of fakeness, and will tell himself his purpose bluntly?
"I'll take care of you!" Cai Zhiming scolded, rolled down the window, and breathed in.
โฆ
"Director Wu, this can't be what you mean, right?"
Lin Xiaoming looked at Wu Xiaozu, who left his eldest brother, like a fool. He suddenly felt that Wu Xiaozu had a whimsy. Do you really want to exchange the filming of movies for "Huanyu International"?
This is not called a fool's dream, this is called a test of IQ!
"Boss, the bird's nest you want......" At this time, the guy came over with two steaming porcelain bowls and placed them on the hardwood table.
"The pigeon bird's nest here is very punctual, try it - it also has an effect on the hair!"
Wu Xiaozu pinched the lid of the cup with a towel, and a stream of heat rose. Seeing that Lin Xiaoming looked uncertain, he scooped a spoonful, his mouth was fragrant, and he said vaguely, "Is the video tape very promising?"
"Of course. Lin Xiaoming was sure.
He has been exposed to the videotape market in the United States, so he is very confident in the videotape market. He also has an in-depth understanding of how Hollywood's video distribution works. Seeing the fragrance of Wu Xiaozu's food, especially for his hair, he couldn't help but scoop a spoonful.
"Is it good to eat?"
"Punctuality!"
"I won't tell you, how do you, a layman, know that this stew pot here is delicious?" Wu Xiaozu methodically scooped the pigeon and said lightly, "Sometimes, people don't know if a thing is delicious, where do you dare to try it?"
Lin Xiaoming paused, savored Wu Xiaozu's words, and slowly chewed out a little taste, but before he could continue to think, Wu Xiaozu's voice sounded again.
"Zhao Kuangyin has occupied the post for the Chai family for decades, so he waited for the opportunity. Wang Mang was absolutely loyal before he usurped the throne. Brother Xiao Ming, the time has come for you to show your loyalty. The videotape market is so vast, of course, it's up to you to tell the boss. If the videotape market wants to develop, the source of the film is very important, how much money do you think the source of each company and the sequels of TVB and ATV's popular TV series are worth?"
Wu Xiaozu looked at the stunned Lin Xiaoming with a smile, gently raised a finger, and smiled in his ear, "I think it's worth 100 million!"
"One hundred million ?!!" Lin Xiaoming swallowed his saliva, and then lowered his head and calculated. If 100 million can be sufficient for a large number of resources, will it be profitable or losing?
It's definitely not worth it in front of you. But if you think about it, it's definitely a big profit!
The film library is definitely the biggest confidence of the video distribution company!
"Do you think Boss Cai will be willing to give up the money?" Wu Xiaozu smiled with a cold smile.
"What if he is really willing?" Lin Xiaoming asked without giving up.
"It just so happens that I have put a few examination equipment in the Kowloon Walled City, so I will chase the bad money for the good money. โ
Wu Xiaozu pushed the bird's nest cup aside, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and stared at Lin Xiaoming, "I think Boss Lin, you are a smart person." Know what cooperation is and what coercion is.
Some people are not suitable to be collaborators and bosses.
I have 1024 locomotive, Jianghu emergency and stellar entertainment in my hands. To tell you the truth, I also have a good relationship with the real estate developers on Hong Kong Island, and I can buy a lot of shops at low prices, all of which can be used as our specialty stores for development! In Southeast Asia, my film distribution network is also being laid. Once reached, theatrical films and videotapes go hand in hand, then ......"
Wu Xiaozu didn't continue, Lin Xiaoming's eyes were already shocked at this time. There is another point that neither of them mentioned, but they both know it. Cai Zhiming's character will not ignore such big interests.
If that happens...... I'm afraid that he will not be able to protect himself as a dragon crossing the river!
"Are you a good collaborator?" looked at Wu Xiaozu, who got up to leave, Lin Xiaoming asked with a hoarse throat.
"I'm a businessman. Wu Xiaozu smiled back.
The rest speaks for itself!
