Summer sang this song again according to the singing method of "Men Should Be Self-reliant" in his previous life. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After singing, he took off his headphones and asked Huang Zhan, "Uncle Zhan, how is it, am I okay singing?"

"Mr. Xia, you are really amazing, I haven't even taught you how to sing, you are already singing very well. It seems that your understanding of music is indeed high, no wonder you can write so many good songs. Huang Zhan said with a smile.

Summer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, but he didn't expect that he was invisibly pretending to be a force, which was really unexpected.

"Uncle Zhan is polite, this is the first time I have sung this song, do you think there are any shortcomings?" he asked with a smile again.

"It's already good, but there are a few minor flaws, but it doesn't matter. Huang Zhan smiled, and then helped Xia point out.

Summer nodded while listening, and seriously accepted Huang Zhan's guidance. The more I listened to him, the more I felt that singing was really broad and profound, and it was not easier than making a movie at all.

How to sing a song, how to pronounce it, how to spit out words, how to breathe, how to soar high notes, how to add feelings...... It's all knowledge.

Why singers sing the same song differently than ordinary people, and why the same song is performed by different singers, there are different feelings, there is also a lot of article in this.

Summer listened carefully to Huang Zhan's teachings, like a sponge, greedily absorbing water in the ocean of knowledge.

You know, Huang Zhan is a peak in Hong Kong and even the Chinese music scene. If you say according to the division of the martial arts world, everyone is at least a generation of grandmasters, and the east is evil and the west is poisonous, and the southern emperor and the northern beggar.

Now that I can get a grandmaster to teach me singing skills in person, of course, I have to seize the opportunity to study hard in the summer. Although he doesn't have to rely on singing to eat, Yiduo doesn't pressure himself, and it doesn't hurt to learn a little more.

Huang Zhan was also very happy when he saw that he was studying seriously in the summer.

originally thought that he became famous at a young age and was so rich, he should be a difficult and unruly person. However, judging from previous contacts, the summer is really good. Not arrogant, not impatient, not humble or arrogant, approachable, humble!

"It's no wonder that at such a young age, there are such achievements. Huang Zhan sighed again.

……

Under Huang Zhan's guidance, Xia Xia learned a lot of knowledge and knew how to sing, so that he could sing the song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" better. Then he went into the studio and officially started recording.

Once, twice, three, four...... Keep singing, keep trying, sing better and better over and over again. By the afternoon, the song had finally been successfully recorded.

Seeing that Huang Zhan finally made the gesture of "OK!", Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He sang this song more than 40 times in a row, and he almost vomited. Even if I take off my headphones, I still remember the tune of "General's Order" in my ears.

"It's horrible. No matter how good a song is, it can't stand it if it's played on a loop like this!" Xia couldn't help but be afraid, he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to listen to this song again for a while.

Out of the recording studio, Xia smiled at Huang Zhan, "Uncle Zhan, it's okay this time, right?"

"Well, I don't think this version could be more perfect. Huang Zhan said with a smile.

Every singer has their own limits, even the most talented singers. Summer singing talent is average, so it quickly reaches its limit. If you want to improve, you have to go through rigorous professional training and invest a lot of energy and time, but then you can't do it.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhan!" Xia nodded and smiled.

At this moment, the door of the recording studio opened, and Zheng Donghan walked in, "Mr. Xia, I heard that your new song has been recorded?

"Thank you. Summer nodded, "It's all thanks to Uncle Zhan's guidance." ”

"Well, by the way, Mr. Xia, there is something I want to talk to you about. Zheng Donghan said again.

"Okay, let's go to your office and talk. Summer nodded.

……

Coming to Zheng Donghan's office, Xia sat down, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

"Mr. Xia, do you remember Xie Zhongda of Hong Kong Records?" Zheng Donghan asked with a smile.

"Xie Zhongda?!" Xia was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Oh, it's the boss Xie who wants me to help him buy a shell and go public." ”

"Yes, that's him. Zheng Donghan smiled and nodded, "Mr. Xia, you have a really good memory." ”

"It didn't take long. Summer waved her hand and smiled.

Last time Wang Ji released a record and held an event at Hong Kong Records, he met Xie Zhongda. At that time, Xie Zhongda begged him to help buy a shell listing, but he offered to directly control it, which scared Xie Zhongda away.

Could it be that he's changed his mind now?!

"Yes, Mr. Xie asked me to dinner two days ago, saying that he had figured it out and was willing to let you control his company. Zheng Donghan said again, "Look, do you want to think about it?"

"Donghan, what do you think about this?" Xia smiled and did not answer, but asked Zheng Donghan for advice.

He is a layman in the record industry, although he can see the general trend clearly and knows that the record industry still has more than ten years of golden age, but he is not familiar with the details. Whether this record store is worth the investment or not is something that the industry can understand.

"Mr. Xia, I think the acquisition of a record store is of course a good thing for our record company. If there is a record store, then our records can be sold directly, saving a lot of channel fees. Zheng Donghan nodded and said, "But it's worth the investment, and it depends on the price in the end." If the price is too high, it is not suitable. ”

"Well, that means it's appropriate to invest in a record store, the key is how much money to invest, right?" Summer nodded and smiled.

"Not bad. The Hong Kong music market is also very hot now, and it is not uncommon for records to sell platinum. Zheng Donghan nodded, "A medium-sized record store has a daily profit of forty or fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars." Excluding the share and cost, there should be a profit of thousands of yuan. ”

"Okay, then let's talk to Mr. Xie, and then send someone to estimate the price. Summer thought for a moment and said, "If the price is right, it's no problem to invest." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xia. Zheng Donghan nodded immediately.

……

Summer then returned to the company to continue the post-production of "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2".

Two days later, Chen Yixin brought news that a good friend was negotiating with Shaw Brothers to rent Shaw Brothers' leading theater after the lease expired in the summer. And the price is more than before the summer, it is said that it has soared to 45 million Hong Kong dollars, a full increase of 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

"So expensive?!Will you be able to earn it back then?" Xia couldn't help but be surprised when she heard it.

The annual rent of the four leading cinemas is 45 million Hong Kong dollars, which is about 11 million Hong Kong dollars per year for each of them, which is about 30,000 Hong Kong dollars a day before they lose money.

If the net profit is 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, according to the common sharing ratio between theaters and film companies, the box office on that day will be at least 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. At the current ticket price of 20 yuan, at least 5,000 tickets will be sold in a day.

The number of seats in the Longtou Theater is about 1,000, and a total of eight shows are broadcast every day, which are divided into four time periods: morning, afternoon, gold and midnight, with two shows in each time period. If 5,000 tickets are sold, that means at least 60% of the attendance for each show.

This is not an easy attendance rate to achieve. Generally, blockbuster films may sell out to full house when they are first released, and they are full of people across the board. However, within a week of release, most attendance rates will fall to six or seven percent. Unless it's a very high-grossing movie, high attendance is likely to be maintained for a while.

So if you want theaters not to lose money, you either have to release a new work every other week, or launch a very high-grossing blockbuster, and these two conditions are not easy to meet.

There are only more than 100 movies produced in the Hong Kong film industry every year, and on average, there are only more than 30 films per theater. With such an output, it is absolutely impossible to meet the requirement of releasing a new film in a week.

Besides, the movie will be withdrawn within a week of release, so how much box office can it earn. At most, it is only seven or eight million Hong Kong dollars, and apart from the theater share and production costs, there is basically no money.

And it is even more difficult to shoot blockbusters that are very high-grossing, unless it is a golden finger with advanced memories like Summer, or box office superstars like Golden Harvest and Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao, otherwise, it is difficult to sell well.

So in the summer, I feel that this rent is a bit outrageous, and it is likely that there will be more time to lose money and less time to make money.

……

"Rich and capricious. Chen Yixin pouted and said, "The funds of good friends are all provided by Huang Yulang, and Huang Yulang's money is all the money of shareholders, and it is not spent in vain, of course I am willing to do it."

Moreover, he didn't necessarily know about this theater, maybe he was fooled by Zeng Zhiwei, thinking that he could make a lot of money with a theater, so he invested in a daze. ”

When Summer heard this, she smiled and nodded.

Huang Yulang has indeed been a crazy acquisition in the past year, eating seas and swallowing many companies. For example, "Daily Daily", "Fresh Weekly", "Youth" impurities, News Building, and even "Sin Chew Daily" that wants to swallow Xingkapalu.

His unscrupulous and unscrupulous acquisition highlights his ignorance and arrogance. You know, although acquisition is the fastest way to make money, but you also have to be careful of "indigestion".

After the acquisition of many enterprises, if the management is not good, they will also lose money. Just like Sony's acquisition of Colombia, it lost $3.1 billion in the next five years, which is simply miserable.

When the summer acquired Wenhe Group, Asia Television, China Gas and other companies, it took a long time to successfully digest them. At the same time, it is also inseparable from the assistance of talents such as Liang Botao, Zhou Liang Shuyi, and Zhao Shikang.

But Huang Yulang does not have such a capable person around him, and he is indeed too greedy. Unlike the summer, he has six billion funds to build a foundation, he has no money himself, and he relies on raising funds from the stock market rights issue. Once the stock market fluctuates, then everything he has now will have to be returned.

A person like Huang Yulang who is arrogant and rejoices in his achievements, when he meets Zeng Zhiwei, who fools the dead and does not pay for his life, he will definitely be pitted!

"Regardless of what it thinks, in short, this theater can't let him get his hands on it. Summer instructed Chen Yixin.

Huang Yulang is a businessman, not a filmmaker, once he gets it to the theater, in order to make money, no matter what good or bad movies are made, no matter what Hong Kong and Western films are, in short, they will all be released.

In this way, the Hong Kong film industry will be miserable, and he has to be stirred into a pot of porridge.

"Okay. Chen Yixin nodded, "I talked to the lawyer, and she studied the contract we signed with Shaw Brothers, and thought that the 'priority signing' clause was still very influential."

First of all, before we have clearly stated that we will give up the renewal of the lease, Shaw Brothers cannot contact any interested tenants. Secondly, under the same conditions, our World Pictures has priority. ”

"Well, then release the news, just say that our World Pictures intends to renew the lease of those four leading theaters, so that those people who make up their minds will know that if they want to talk to Shaw Brothers about the lease, they must first come to our temple to worship God. Summer thought for a moment.

Whether it's Golden Harvest, Debao, Xinyicheng, or good friends, these companies think that the lease expires in the summer, and it has nothing to do with these four leading theaters, so they don't say hello to him, and they want to get involved in those four theaters. Now I have to let them know that if they want to get the theater, they have to come and worship themselves first.

"Hmm. Chen Yixin nodded, "But Brother Tian, can this really prevent good friends and Debao from getting involved in those four theaters? Even without our permission, I'm afraid they will start talking with the Shaw Brothers." ”

"That's nature. I'm sure they will talk in private, even if they don't talk about it openly. I asked you to release the news, just to show our existence, lest they treat us as a little transparent. Summer smiled, "Besides, let's take a stand, those who are ready to move should always weigh their weight first to see if they can compete with us." This will scare off a group of people. ”

"Well, Brother Tian, you have an idea. Chen Yixin praised with a smile, "Then I'll let the wind out immediately." ”

……

Chen Yixin's speed is really fast, the news was released in the morning, and it has spread all over the Hong Kong film circle in the evening.

Knowing that the summer would not let go of the four leading cinemas, the Hong Kong filmmakers who were originally eager to try were all stunned for a while.

"What does Summer think? Based on his current relationship with Shao Yifu, do you still think that people will continue to rent the theater to him?"

"Doesn't he already have a new cinema chain? The location is good, the area is large, and the equipment is still brand new, so why should he continue to occupy those four old theaters?"

"I heard that the summer lease agreed that after the lease expires, he has the right of first refusal to renew the lease. In this case, Shaw cannot refuse his lease renewal unless he voluntarily renounces the lease renewal, or someone can offer a higher price than him. ”

"Summer is so rich, who can offer higher conditions than him. Let's talk to him and persuade him that it's easier to give up the lease renewal. ”
