Zhang Guirong, Huang Zhiju, Mei Yanfang, and Ye Qianwen are all in the record company, and Lei Juewen took Deng Lijun to meet the four of them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For being able to meet Deng Lijun, Zhang Guirong, Huang Zhiju, Mei Yanfang, and Ye Qianwen are very excited, Zhang Guirong and Mei Yanfang can only be regarded as newcomers in the music world, but Deng Lijun is already standing at the peak of the music world, which is the goal of the four of them.
Lei Juewen and Deng Lijun didn't stay in the record company for long, and after Deng Lijun commented on the four of them, the two left.
Lei Juewen and Deng Lijun did not return to the villa, Lei Juewen sent Deng Lijun to Polygram, and then went to Lei's Mansion alone.
Leigh's Building, the floor where the World Magazine is located.
Lei Juewen came to Tianxia Magazine and met with He Chaoqiong. He Chaoqiong has returned from Japan, after all, she is the editor-in-chief of Tianxia Magazine, it is impossible for her to stay in Japan all the time, and after the business there is stable, she will naturally come back.
"Dragon Ball and One Piece have published three weekly magazines in Japan, of which Dragon Ball sold 150,000 copies in the first week, ranking 68th; In the second week, the ranking rose, and the sales volume was 172,000 copies, ranking 63rd; Sales in the third week of last week were 176,000 copies, ranking 62nd. Dragon Ball sold a total of nearly 500,000 copies in three weeks, and the profit was more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which was not a good result. ”
"One Piece sold 162,000 copies in the first week, ranking 65th; Sales in the second week were 177,000 copies, ranking 62nd; Sales in the third week of last week were 191,000 copies, ranking 56th. One Piece sold 530,000 copies in three weeks, with a profit of more than 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars, which is better than Dragon Ball, and the results are average. ”
After listening to He Chaoqiong's report, Lei Juewen couldn't help frowning. He never thought that three weeks had passed, Dragon Ball and One Piece had not yet hit the market, and the results were still so average, even more average than Zhi Fengyun and Chinese Heroes, and there were too many differences. In his opinion, even if these two comics don't sweep the world immediately, they will at least rank within twenty, who would have thought that the results would be so much worse than he imagined.
In fact, Lei Juewen doesn't know the reason, in the Japanese comic industry, as soon as the new work of the comic master comes out, it will naturally attract attention, and a large number of fans will buy it immediately. If the work is good, the future results will naturally be better; If the quality of the work is average, it is needless to say. And Dragon Ball and One Piece, Lei Juewen are all serialized under a new pen name, and the results at the beginning will naturally not be good.
"What are the current achievements of Fengyun and Chinese Heroes?"
He Chaoqiong replied: "Fengyun and Chinese Heroes' results are much better than Dragon Ball and One Piece, and they are also better than when they first entered Japan, and now they are ranked in more than forty, and their sales are steadily rising." ”
Lei Juewen said: "Although the current results of Dragon Ball and One Piece are average, I still have a lot of confidence in these two comics, remember that these two comics must be serialized, don't slack off." ”
"I'll remember."
He Chaoqiong nodded and said that she understood, in fact, she was already very optimistic about these two comics in her heart, but this was the story written by Lei Juewen, and the painting style was also decided by him, so she didn't recommend paying more attention to these two comics, so as not to embarrass Lei Juewen.
Lei Juewen said suddenly: "Has Kazuhiko Kato been left behind?" ”
He Chaoqiong nodded and said: "I stayed, I gave him a lot of higher treatment, and he didn't have the idea of leaving, so the cooperation was quite pleasant." ”
"That's good!"
Lei Juewen nodded, Lupin the Third is one of Japan's national manga, of course he doesn't want Lupin the Third to leave Futabasha.
"Haven't congratulated you yet, Chainsaw is a big hit in the United States."
He Chaoqiong congratulated Lei Juewen, and felt quite strongly in her heart. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have always wanted to break into Hollywood, but except for the Bruce Lee era, which was considered successful, the rest of the time they have not succeeded. But Lei Juewen succeeded in Hollywood for the first time, and it was not an ordinary success, the first film earned tens of millions of dollars, more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which was only two months before and after, it was too profitable, even her casino's casino was not so profitable.
"Thank you!"
Lei Juewen smiled slightly when he heard this, Chainsaw not only made him earn a lot of dollars, but also made him famous, saying that he is the first director on Hong Kong Island, I am afraid that everyone will not oppose it, there will be those who oppose it, but those who agree will definitely have it, it is really that Chainsaw Horror's results in the United States are too good, so good that it surpasses any film that Hong Kong Island has ever released in the United States before.
He Chaoqiong asked: "Chainsaw is a big hit in the United States, will your focus be shifted to the United States in the future?" ”
Lei Juewen shook his head and said: "I will shoot films in the United States from time to time, but my focus will not shift to the United States, at least not in a short time, as for a few years later, it will naturally be a few years later." ”
He Chaoqiong nodded and didn't say anything more. She is still mostly happy that Lei Juewen did not shift her career focus to the United States, after all, she has some thoughts about Lei Juewen in her heart, if Lei Juewen really goes to the United States, then she will have no hope.
Lei Juewen chatted with He Chaoqiong for a while, and after learning about the recent performance of Tianxia Magazine, he said goodbye and left.
Lei Juewen did not go to the office above, but left the Lei Building directly and went to ATV. Before going to the record label, he received a call from Mak Chuixiong, hoping to meet him and bring the two heroines to meet him. Lei Juewen did not refuse, and directly asked Mai Chuixiong to take someone to ATV to wait for him, and he went directly to ATV.
When he came to ATV, Lei Juewen went directly to Mai Chuixiong.
Mai Crotch Xiong was in the office, but he was the only one, Lei Juewen asked and found out that Mai Crotch Xiong arranged the actors he brought in the lounge.
Lei Juewen and Mak Chuixiong went to the lounge together.
"Mr. Lei, these two girls were met by David on the street, both of them are fourteen years old, although they are young, and they have no acting skills, but I tried them, and they are very suitable for this film."
Regarding Mai Chuixiong's words, Lei Juewen just nodded and did not express an opinion.
The two walked to the break room, pushed open the door and walked in.
There were two girls sitting in the lounge, two girls who were chatting, not very old, and the two were wearing school uniforms directly, but looking at the appearance of the school uniforms, it was obvious that these two people were not students from the same school.
"Mr. Lei, this is Lin Biqi and Zhou Haimei, two girls who are still in middle school."
Mai Crotch Xiong beckoned the two girls over, and then introduced the two girls to Lei Juewen.
