Chapter 026 Talent Recruitment
With the publicity and recruitment advertisements of the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" going out, everyone who eats the meal of the entertainment industry and the film industry has rushed to tell each other and inquire about the background of the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company". After all, such a big investment, especially the heroine, has offered a salary of 1 million, which is absolutely rare in Xiangjiang.
Not to mention the heroine, many people even show their faces in a trick, even if they don't pay for it, they are willing to get a box lunch. After all, being able to participate in such a big production is also a kind of qualification. In the future, it will definitely be more face-saving than among peers.
Especially in addition to recruiting the heroine, a large number of high-paid behind-the-scenes personnel were also recruited, which attracted many newspapers to reprint the news, which virtually did enough publicity for the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company". Anyone who eats the bowl of rice in the film industry celebrates with a crown, and for a time the reputation of "Oriental Hollywood" has risen.
However, Gu Weiqi didn't care about this, and first spent three days to drum up the outlines of the two novels "The Brave and Fearless" and "People on the Journey" and threw them to the newspaper's editorial team. Subsequently, it took half a month to come up with eight outlines: "Xinzha Senior Sister", "Joking about Qianlong", "The Prince Becomes a Frog", "Taking the Wrong Car", "Sword and Horse", "Tokyo Love Story", "Sun and Moon Sword" and "Beautiful Life".
At that time, it was already December, and Gu Weiqi just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and was ready to go to the film company to start recruiting behind-the-scenes teams, after all, the advertisements had been out for many days. Fang Lingwei took a notebook to report to him what had happened in the past half a month.
First of all, Tang Ning and they have contacted more than 500 comrades-in-arms from the mainland, and they have come over one after another, and they have now been arranged to the security departments of various companies. Secondly, the Mythical Legend Singing Contest is approaching the finals, and Huang Xizhao hopes that he, the boss behind the scenes, can go to the front desk to present awards to the winners.
Thirdly, Luo Jianan ordered the acquisition of 7 shops, and in addition to the cinema that was being renovated, the branches of "Tang Dynasty International Supermarket" and "Yushanfang International Restaurant" were opened one after another. As for the cinema, equipment is being purchased, but these seven theaters will be ready for use in a month at the latest.
Fourth, with the popularity of the TV series, "Cold Moon Lone Star Sword", "Rogue Tycoon", "Drunken Boxing King Mowgli", "Fengyun" and "Crane Roaring Nine Days" have been collected into albums, and have been sold one after another. And the ratings of these dramas such as "Huo Yuanjia" and "Cold Moon Lone Star Sword" introduced to Taiwan and Nanyang countries are also very popular, so that Phoenix TV has earned enough popularity and silver.
Especially in terms of TV ratings, in recent times, Wireless and Lishi, which has just been changed to Asia Television, can only parry and have no power to fight back. Seeing that Phoenix TV's ratings are rising like sesame seeds, many businesses agreed to double their advertising expenses, so that the company began to enter the profitable stage.
The Fifth Blueprint Hi-Tech Institute has developed a home game console, named "Blueprint No. 1" by Chai Yuqi, and has applied for a patent, and has introduced the most advanced production line to start mass production. Chai Yuqi asked him what his next project would be?
In addition to short-term operations in the stock market, the sixth "Tang Dynasty Fund" also acquired a logistics company and a foreign trade company, and changed the original company name to "Tang Dynasty International Logistics" and "Tang Dynasty International Foreign Trade" companies.
Seventh, through logistics companies, magazines, comic strips, publishing houses, Charm Baby, Strange International, Blueprint Industrial and other companies, all of them have continuously transported products including magazines, comics, books, clothing and shoes, toys and handheld game consoles to the mainland for sale. However, the profit is positive and meager, and the biggest benefit is that it is conducive to long-term development.
The Eighth "Tang Dynasty International Foreign Trade" Company also sold televisions, video recorders, tape recorders, bicycles, and other sought-after goods to the mainland, and its business has been booming recently. These profits are huge, like televisions, and every time they are sold, they make a 100% profit. But it's not a business that anyone can do.
You must know that at that time, import and export trade controls were still very strict, especially for large items that were not easy to transport to the mainland. However, according to Fang Lingwei, Jiang Hong, who was in charge of the foreign trade company, happened to have friends in the army, but he found a way to come and go for trade, and now the business is booming.
In addition, the two singles "Dream Chaser" and "This is My Life" have been put on the market, and the sales momentum is very hot, the current sales volume has reached 6 platinum, and it is still on sale, it is almost crazy to sell, and it is a mess. At present, record companies from Southeast Asian countries such as Taiwan, Yueben, South Korea, and Nanyang are discussing cooperation with Zhong Jinghui.
Finally, Fang Lingwei also said that the old man has received many good things in the mainland recently. And due to the busy business, it is often at least half a month. Gu Weiqi is not worried about this, after all, the old man can be regarded as an old man.
Especially with his kung fu mastery, although the old man is older, his body is very good. Ordinary ten or eight strong men don't want to get close to him. What gave him a headache was that he was going to take a breath and start making a movie, but now he is entangled in all kinds of affairs. I don't know how long this delay will be delayed.
But although it is a headache, things still have to be done. Fortunately, Loganan and they shared most of the affairs for him, otherwise it would have given him even more headaches. After signing the stack of documents that Fang Lingwei brought over, Gu Weiqi went to Blueprint Hi-Tech and tried out the home game console they developed, and it felt pretty good.
Later, Gu Weiqi and Chai Yuqi ordered them to develop three projects: "Contra", arcade and "King of Fighters". Then I went to Phoenix.
At the same time, the flagship store of the "Legend of Nature" audio-visual chain in Mong Kok was crowded with people, playing the songs "Dream Chaser" and "This is My Life", and the two cashiers and two service staff were busy sweating, taking out boxes of records that had just arrived, and men and women were rushing to buy them.
Gu Weiqi naturally didn't have time to pay attention to this scene, but Zhong Jinghui, Wang Fuling, Lu Guanting and others couldn't help but pay attention.
When he came to the door of the store, Zhong Jinghui said to a girl with glasses and baby fat on her face: "Pretty girl, you are also here to buy records?" ”
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, I bought two yesterday, and today I bought them for my classmates." Uncle, do you prefer 'Dream Chaser' or 'This is my life'? ”
"'Dream Chaser', what about you?"
"I like it all, 'Dream Chaser' feels pretty good." This is my life's rhythm is also great, and it is a rare masterpiece in English song rock in recent years. It's just that there is no promotional poster for the singer, and I don't know what the singer looks like? ”
Zhong Jinghui smiled bitterly, originally he planned to take a few photos of Gu Weiqi as a promotional poster. However, Gu Weiqi was so busy that he didn't have time for a license. And after the audience heard these two songs on TV, they almost burst the hotline of the TV station and asked for a record.
In this way, in a hurry, Zhong Jinghui hurriedly put these two records on the market. Unexpectedly, the sales are particularly hot, and now the workers in the filling factory are working overtime day and night to catch up with the production, but it is still in short supply, which can be regarded as a good start for the "Tian Lai Legend International Music Company".
At this time, Gu Weiqi had already arrived at Phoenix TV Company, and when he found Huang Xizhao, he asked straight to the point: "Mr. Huang, how is the singing competition going?" Have you found any good seedlings with potential? ”
Huang Xizhao smiled: "Don't say it, there are really a few potential good seedlings." ”
"Oh." Gu Weiqi said with interest: "Quickly show me the information of potential players." ”
"No, that's it." Huang Xizhao hurriedly delivered a folder to him.
Gu Weiqi couldn't wait to open a folder, the first thing that caught his eye was a photo of a demure girl, there was a vague sense of déjà vu, and after taking a closer look at the information, he found that it was Chen Huixian - that's right, it was the one who debuted in history in 1984 with a "Lost Promise", and then launched classic songs such as "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" and "Drifting Snow", I couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is a "big fish".
There is no doubt that if a contestant like Chen Huixian can appear in the first session, then this singing contest was not held in vain. However, what surprised Gu Weiqi even more was that when he opened the second profile, the "Queen of Change" Anita Mui's youthful avatar came into view, and he smiled at that time.
The first Myth and Legend Singing Contest was held in a really timely manner, and it attracted all the two "divas", Gu Weiqi couldn't help but secretly sigh that his luck was really good. But the surprise was not over, and I flipped through a few more pages. In the end, Ye Qianwen's information entered his sight again, this is another diva.
Gu Weiqi was pleasantly surprised, closed the information and took a deep breath, with these singers with unlimited potential, coupled with those classic songs in his head, I believe that he will definitely be able to sweep the music world in the future. The most important thing is that the three girls Chen, Mei and Ye are all good-looking, if they sign into their own company, wouldn't they be able to get close to the water and get the moon first?
Huang Xizhao looked at his weird smile and was confused, and just asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you think of these players?" ”
"Not bad." Gu Weiqi came back to his senses and said solemnly: "These players are quite good-looking. The most important thing is that they basically have a certain musical foundation, as long as they are slightly tuned, and then write a few classic songs for them, it is difficult to promote and package. By the way, what stage is the game going on? ”
"The finals will be held this afternoon, and the venue is in the 'Tang Dynasty Flagship' Grand Theater, which can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time, and 3,000 tickets were sold out as early as yesterday."
"The flagship theater of the Tang Dynasty?" Gu Weiqi nodded, this is his own theater, Fang Lingwei mentioned it to him, it seems that Luo Jianan also asked him to name the largest theater in the Tang Dynasty, at that time he casually said that it was called "flagship of the Tang Dynasty", but he didn't go to this theater to see it, because he was very busy during this time.
