Chapter 399: You Sing and I'll Appear

After Lin Wenlong made a work report on behalf of the real estate company, Li Paul, editor-in-chief of "Daily Express", also reported to Lin Cheng on the situation of the newspaper.

At present, "Tian Tian Kuaibao" still sits firmly on the throne of the largest daily circulation of Heung Kong newspapers, but the daily circulation has dropped, and it only remains around 350,000 per day.

The reason is naturally that a large number of gossip newspapers led by "Apple Daily" followed the layout design of "Daily Daily", which greatly impacted the sales of "Daily Express".

But even so, with a good reputation of good quality and low price and content is king, "Daily Express" still sold 70,000 or 80,000 more copies than "Apple Daily".

Lin Cheng is quite satisfied with this result, in fact, he doesn't care at all whether the "Daily Express" can make money, as long as he continues to maintain the status of the No. 1 paper media in Xiangjiang, what he wants is the influence of the No. 1 newspaper, so as to deter the power monsters who want to fight his idea.

In November last year, Xiangjiang's "Tian Tian Kuaibao" and "Apple Daily" opened branches on Baodao at the same time, and the flames of war between the two newspapers burned from Xiangjiang to Baodao.

However, unlike Xiangjiang's "Daily Express" that stubbornly suppressed "Apple Daily", "Apple Daily" overtook "Daily Express" after arriving on Treasure Island, becoming the top of the list of the five major newspapers on Treasure Island, with a daily circulation of a terrifying 700,000.

After the "Daily Express" arrived in Baodao, although it quickly opened up the market in Baodao with its high quality and low price, and beat the "Liberty Times", "United Daily News" and "China Times" on Baodao, ranking second with a circulation of 550,000.

However, "Apple Daily" often attracts readers with hunting content such as horrific Yan photos and pictures of corpses at the scene of the murder, so that the "Daily Express" has never been able to catch up with the sales of "Apple Daily".

Lin Cheng didn't care about this result, the decision of "Daily Express" to enter the treasure island was not made by him, and he was already very satisfied with such a big achievement.

Moreover, the cross-strait exchanges between the mainland and the treasure island are relatively closed, and the influence of the "Daily Express" on the treasure island cannot radiate to the mainland, so Lin Cheng is not very concerned about the situation of the "Daily Express" entering the treasure island, but he just has the attitude that success is gratifying, and defeat is meaningless.

Then, Zeng Zhiwei, the boss of Flying Eagle Entertainment, also made a work report to everyone: "Since Flying Eagle Entertainment was acquired by Lin Sheng, three movies have been made, and the box office results achieved are 60 million for "Infernal Affairs 1", 28 million for "Infernal Affairs 2", and 52 million box office for "Heroes of the Storm" during the Spring Festival.

These three films also performed well at the box office outside Hong Kong, including "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland with a strong revenue of 70 million and a global box office of 150 million, "The Heroes of the Storm" with a mainland box office of 55 million and a global box office of 135 million, and "Infernal Affairs 2" unfortunately failed to pass the mainland review and had a global box office of 35 million.

In addition, "Infernal Affairs" was also favored by the American Emperor Warner Bros. Film Company, which sold the copyright of the adapted script for $2.5 million. In short, these three movies plus peripherals have brought a total of 200 million Hong Kong dollars to Flying Eagle Entertainment.

In addition, in terms of music performance, Joey Yung's first solo album "My Pride" sold 320,000 copies, got three platinums, Xie Lemon's two records + two EPs sold a total of 430,000 copies, and after Chen Yixun came over, Lin Sheng's title song "The More I Kiss, the More Sad" album of the same name sold 270,000 points.

In addition to the three pillars, other singers also released three records, with a total sales of 80,000. According to statistics, we Flying Eagle Entertainment released a total of seven records this year, with a total sales volume of 1.1 million copies, making a profit of 52 million for the company. ”

"Crackling ......"

Flying Eagle Entertainment can achieve such brilliant results against the trend in the era of the gradual decline of Xiangjiang movies and records, which is enough to surprise everyone, after Zeng Zhiwei finished the work report, warm applause suddenly resounded in the conference room.

Lin Cheng also applauded unhurriedly, he was still very satisfied with the results of Flying Eagle Entertainment, although the Xiangjiang entertainment industry began to decline in Xiangjiang, but Xiangjiang stars still have a great appeal in Asia.

China Entertainment, which started from the beginning of later generations, always criticized the acting skills of Xiangjiang actors for being worse than mainland actors, but the salary was ten or eight times higher than that of mainland actors, and they all shouted for mainland actors.

But in fact, the high salary of Xiangjiang actors is very reasonable, in the case of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that Lin Cheng's Feilong Media Company is about to start filming, why did Lin Cheng set the first choice of the actor as Chow Tai Fat, and the second choice as Chen Zhiming?

Invite Zhou Dafa to star, maybe Lin Cheng's salary for this will be as high as forty or fifty million, and ask Chen Zhiming to star, maybe three or four million will be enough to survive.

But in terms of box office appeal, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" starring Chow Tai Fa can definitely help the movie increase the box office of three or four hundred million, while Chen Zhiming has no one to know him when he goes out of the mainland, and he has no box office appeal overseas.

When Chow Tai Fa became popular in Asia, whether it was in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait or in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, it can be said that he was popular everywhere he went, and no one could resist his charm.

Take Liu Zaishi, the first brother in the Korean hosting industry who is known as Liu Dashen in the mainland, for example, in fact, he is a brain-dead fan of Zhou Dafa, thinking that when "The True Color of Heroes" was popular in South Korea, Liu Zaishi also used to wear a little brother-style windbreaker, swaggering on the street with a toothpick in his mouth, and was worshiped by pedestrians.

This shows how popular Chow Tai Fabet is in Asia.

After Zeng Zhiwei finished the work report, the rest of the enterprise leaders sang and I appeared, and they all reported to Lin Cheng the achievements of each enterprise one by one.

After Lin Cheng's huge capital injection, most of the enterprises have regained their vitality, and in such a difficult market in Xiangjiang, they have risen against the market and achieved very good results.

Finally, according to statistics, the 25 companies of Lin's Holding Group added up to 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars last year, and in January this year, due to the company's performance, the performance of one month alone reached 1.5 billion, which is equivalent to one-third of the Lin Group, which Lin Cheng has injected countless efforts.

Compared with Lin Cheng's painstaking efforts and plans for the Lin Group, Xiangjiang's Lin Holding Group is just an accessory of Lin Cheng's casual acquisition of the industry.
