It's all about the money. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the current popularity, the schedule of "Ghost Shadow" can last at least three months, but even if it gives way to future movies, it will continue to be screened in local theaters for a period of time. has been released since mid-November, and as of Christmas Eve, more than 60 million box office has been recorded, Alice simply calculated, this money is thrown away from the theater share, and then some messy expenses, she should be able to make about 40 million.

After all, as an "experimental film that the little girl paid out of her own pocket", DreamWorks itself really didn't inject any money at all, no matter how popular the box office was, it could only make some fixed publicity and operation fees from the box office in accordance with the rules of the industry.

During this period, Lawrence found Alice's father, and he really grabbed the other party's hand with tears in his eyes, and said quite sincerely that if his daughter wanted to make any more movies, he must also let him be half an investor!

Otherwise, no matter how high the box office is, there will be no share of him!

In other words, this is really, a net profit of 40 million US dollars a month......

Publicity costs can be high or low and are not counted. With a shooting cost of 20,000 yuan, he made a profit of 2,000 times in the first month of release, and in this era when the Internet economy has not yet arrived, it seems that even stocks can't do it, right?

As a result, the Lawrence family and the Wang family got together to discuss and unanimously decided to increase publicity again.

The most important thing is that the shooting cost must be exposed, and it must be compared with the current box office results. According to what Alice said, the people's collective tendencies and curiosity are very scary, and when everyone hears that the cost of this movie is only 20,000, but there is such a result, even if it is only for this factor, they will definitely buy a ticket.

As soon as Alice came up with the idea, she was immediately warmly praised by Lawrence. He even kept congratulating James that he could give birth to such a business-minded eldest daughter, which really made him envious.

In fact, Alice just moved out the current situation of the mainland film market in the later period...... The worse it is, the more popular it is, the more bad it is, how stupid people are, and some people buy tickets just to see how bad a bad movie is, this is all historical practice.

However, no matter how much the box office of the whole movie will end up in, that will be for later. After the first month's $40 million went into Alice's bank account, the serious business was finally about to begin.

In other words, what is this movie for?

In order to raise funds.

What is the purpose of raising funds?

In order to create a clothing brand, he took advantage of the hot screening of "The Man from the Atlantic Bottom" in the mainland, and pushed the toad glasses and bell bottoms to the mainland to make a lot of money.

The fundamental purpose must not be forgotten.

Although for Alice's big ambitions, this purpose is only a foreshadowing for the next purpose.

Regarding the clothing brand, after more than a month of processing, Sophie has already registered the company, the nominal chairman is herself, and the real major shareholder is Alice. Of course, who calls someone still young after all, so he can't hold any specific positions.

As for the name of the brand, after consultation between the whole family and Ashley, who came to the house, it was decided to intercept the names of Oscar and Hannah, and it was called "Oscar-Hannah" clothing.

"Jack Jones, Louis Vuitton, and Giorgio Armani, who was founded a few years ago, are all named after the founders themselves, which is so boring, so wouldn't it be nice for us to come up with a group name, just like Rolls-Royce?"

Ashley's words are a bit outrageous, after all, for a true fashion designer, it is a sublime honor to name a brand after himself and then make it a world-renowned class. But seeing that she looked like she was abandoning this, Alice certainly had no reason to object, so the name of the new brand was set.

"Jack Jones, Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, and now Oscar Hannah, haha, it's all about the same, almost the same, it feels good."

"But I really feel awkward......"

It's impossible for Oscar to say that he is unhappy that his sister actually uses her name as a clothing brand name, but she wants him to be like Hannah and happily give Alice a few kisses on the face? Just kidding, that's something you can't do even if you kill you, and the shame is amazing.

As for the specific registration location of the mainland branch, after some careful discussion, everyone unanimously decided that it is better to set up in Shanghai. Although the labor-intensive industries in the Pearl River Delta are developed, Alice is not a garment processing industry after all, but a serious and very tall clothing design, which should of course be registered in Shanghai.

"So, let's draw up a list of going to China."

At this time, in a conference room registered in a single-family building in west Los Angeles, all the members of the new company are in a meeting.

The members are, Sophie, the nominal chairman and the actual CEO, James, the theoretical vice president, Alice, the actual largest shareholder and the real chairman, the second largest shareholder and chief designer Ashley, the members of the SOS group who were kindly given a little bit of shares, and Oscar and Hannah, who came to play soy sauce as the ones who enjoyed the naming rights.

"Our whole family is definitely going to go, and by the way, we have to travel, my mother is the company's representative and legal advisor, and Ashley is the designer, and we must go......"

As a result, with the head office in the Americas still just a leather bag, relying on the large amount of money obtained from "Ghost Record", Alice has begun to firmly target a huge overseas market.

In other words, it seems that this kind of "overseas" leather bag of "domestic" companies...... A hot film industry in Tokyo is typical......

Alice suddenly thought.

"I said boss, there is no need to think about such a thing as a list of going to China, right? Why don't you just go all? ”

Thirteen-year-old Ashley Olaire, the chief costume designer of the company and the owner of a position with a theoretical annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, is slamming her chin on the table, and chirping: "After the "Ghost Record", you are basically a billionaire, but it is just the air ticket and accommodation fee for eight people, you won't be unable to pay it, right?" ”

Sissi sipped the mellow milk tea and snorted: "The evil capitalist is not even willing to pay for the air ticket to the employees. Come on, sisters, let's seek power and usurp the throne! ”

Hannah sat at the end of the table and exclaimed, "Well done! Elect me as the chairman, and I will reimburse everyone for the ticket money! ”

Oscar clasped his arms in his hands, looked at his sister and looked like he had eaten the "Platinum Yoneda Total 1984 Supreme Limited Edition", and also joined in the fun: "If you choose me as the chairman, I will not only reimburse you for the air ticket money, but also all the expenses during the whole journey!" ”

Hannah glared at her brother: "Oh~ You are so generous, then do you want to buy a panda puppet for everyone?" ”

Oscar looked at his sister slyly: "Do you think everyone here is a ten-year-old girl like you?" What's so ...... about this kind of thing?"

"I'm sorry, I'm fifteen, and I like Muppets too."

Suddenly, Maiya's words blurted out, and Oscar was immediately asked to eat a pot of "Platinum Yoneda Total 1984 Supreme Limited Edition", while Alice laughed energetically as if she had eaten the "Boutique Golden Columella Popeye Fairy Bean Edition".

Therefore, the list of going to China has been decided. All the shareholders and employees of the leather bag and clothing company, two adults and a group of girls rushed to Los Angeles International Airport, carrying a male creature named Oscar, who didn't know why he was coming, and flew over the Pacific Ocean.

Time, just after Christmas.

In the high-speed and huge Boeing 747 first class, elegant soft music resounds melodiously all around, which is not noisy but very clear. Hours after takeoff, late at night, and several of the girls were already asleep, Alice was still awake in her chair, looking intently at the outside world that was being crossed the time zone.

"What do you think?"

James, who had returned from the bathroom, saw this scene and said softly.

Alice first made a reproachful expression towards her father, pointing at Sissi, who was sleeping on her lap, and then said in a mosquito-like voice: "It's just a daze, dad, you are, you've been in a daze since you got on the plane, homesick?" ”

James didn't speak, but silently looked out the window, it was also night, and he couldn't actually see anything, only his reflection through the light in the cabin.

"yes, homesick."

James patted his daughter's head and whispered, "Since your father and I were born, I have never had a chance to go back to see it." ”

Alice was silent as well.

She looked at the newspaper in her hand, and the first date of 12/26/1984, although in black letters, was far more glaring than any color word.

"There will be more and more opportunities in the future, and next time, call your grandparents too."

Hearing Alice's words, James glanced at her slightly intentionally and showed a warm smile.
