"Sister Jiajia, what do you want to drink?"

Zhang Shaoping welcomed Zhang Aijia to his seat with a smile on his face.

"A glass of Blue Mountain, thank you." Sending the waiter away, Zhang Aijia turned her head, but saw Zhang Shaoping staring at her, her eyes fluttered and she said, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at the beauty." Zhang Shaoping laughed.

With short dry hair and big eyes, Zhang Aijia's appearance can only be regarded as upper-middle in the entertainment industry of handsome men and beautiful women, but her temperament makes up for the shortcomings, and she has a kind of beauty of knowing her surname.

Zhang Aijia said angrily: "I'm not a beauty, I'm a man's wife, look at the beauty, you should find your lotus sister and dragon girl." ”

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "Oh, listening to you, why do I feel sour?" ”

Zhang Aijia said disdainfully: "Do you think my taste will be so low that I like a little kid?" I only like men who are older than me, and those who are younger than me are not considered. ”

Today's women, especially women in the entertainment industry, have heavier tastes, 4 percent like married men, 3 percent like father-daughter love, 1 percent play sister and brother love, and the remaining 2 percent are normal human beings.

Zhang Aijia's relationship is very interesting, her first love is Jiang Yuwu, the second son of Xiao Jiang, who is 8 or 9 years older than her, and her ex-husband is Liu Youlin, the Hong Kong bureau chief of the Associated Press who is 16 years older than her, but her current boyfriend Luo Dayou is a better match. But it is said that the two are breaking up, Zhang Shaoping read the newspaper report, how much is it clear, Zhang Luo said it nicely, they are all people with a surname, and if it is not good, that is, both of them have a surname.

"You, a big capitalist, have always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, let's say, what are you looking for me." Zhang Aijia asked.

"Hehe, I'm here for a good thing, and I'm here to send you money." Zhang Shaoping said with a smile.

"Are you so kind?" Zhang Aijia was skeptical, "You don't want to play tricks like costume sponsorship again, do you?" I can tell you, although I am the director of Xinyicheng in Taiwan, I don't have any fart power, and I can't be the master of this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Aijia was depressed. Bay New Arts City is called Hong Kong New Arts City in Taiwan, but Zhang Aijia has the title of director, and only has 300 Hong Kong dollars for film shooting.

Zhang Shaoping stirred the coffee with a spoon and said, "What are those film companies having, how can I not know?" Don't worry, it won't make you feel bad. ”

These film companies just saw that Zhang Shaoping's themed costumes were selling well and made a lot of money, and their eyes were hot, so they were ruthless, so they simply found a reason to leave Zhang Shaoping aside and do it alone. Even if he is not so greedy, he is also advancing by retreating, trying to force Zhang Shaoping to comply and share the benefits.

But how can things be so simple, Zhang Shaoping's previous clothing sponsorship is not only ready-to-wear, but also includes clothing design, beauty and beauty, etc., such as Lin Qingxia's dusty appearance in "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", which was jointly designed by Tan Yanyu, Xia Jiamao, and Zhang Shuping. There are both garment factories, top designers, and no shortage of sales channels, except for Zhang Shaoping's companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are only a handful, it can be said that Zhang Shaoping is firmly seated in Diaoyutai, and he is not afraid of the boycott of these film companies at all.

Moreover, there are no people here, there is a place to keep people, Zhang Shaoping has already set his sights on a number of foreign film awards, fashion catwalks and European and American film and television dramas. This year's Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards ceremonies in the United States are scheduled to be held in April, and many popular European and American stars and models have come to ask Tan Yanyu and other designers to design clothes for them.

"Oh, not for that?" Zhang Aijia glanced at Zhang Shaoping in surprise, this guy is there, as if he doesn't care about the boycott of major film companies, "I don't understand, the theme clothing business you engaged in, a big piece of fat, but it is being poached by others, why don't you go to deal with it, but you come to me?" ”

Zhang Shaoping raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? How? They only want to share the profits, but I don't want to share the benefits with them, so I have to go our separate ways and play their own games. ”

"Hey, you're too greedy, don't you? The Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess are big enough to be strong enough, right? But Meiya is not a tiger snatching food and taking the biggest share? Either no one has to play, or everyone has a benefit, I said, who you can't get along with, don't get along with money! Zhang Aijia glared.

Meiya International Group Co., Ltd. is the only distribution company that focuses on the operation of Hong Kong films for overseas release and distribution of videotapes without its own film company. The strength of Meiya distribution is still the first of the four major distributors, and the quality of the film is not good, mainly to win by quantity.

Zhang Shaoping smiled, shook his head and said, "This is different!" I specially provided costume design sponsorship for the crew, just to advertise to earn fame and make themed costumes, and I didn't pay a little bit! Now that I see that there are benefits, I want to swarm to carve up, how can there be such a good thing in the world! Let's consume it, I'm not in a hurry, and when they find out that they can't make money, they will come back and beg me one day. ”

Clothing, the most important thing is design, followed by sales channels, and the role of ready-to-wear production is at the bottom.

"Rich people are different, dare not to treat money as money." Zhang Aijia held her cheeks with her hands, pillowed the table, stared at Zhang Shaoping, and sighed with envy, "Hey, you said that you gave me money, what about the money?" ”

"The money is still in everyone's pockets, and we have to find a way to take it out!"

Zhang Shaoping then told him what he meant.

"Video rental chains? Or is it global? Zhang Aijia frowned.

"That's right! I'm going to start a rental company, but the business has been changed to videotapes. Zhang Shaoping explained, "You know, the current video rental stores are basically working alone, and basically have no capital to integrate them. And my video rental company will span all over the world, you think about it, if you were in Taiwan. North to rent a videotape that can be in Taiwan. Nan's store can be returned in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and other places, and even in the United States and continental Europe, so what? ”

Zhang Aijia tilted her head and pondered for a while, glanced at Zhang Shaoping and said: "It's very convenient, it can reduce the payment of additional rent, and it will hit the traditional video rental shop, but the risk is very high and the cost is high, you don't know which film and television dramas are popular and which are unpopular!" ”

Zhang Shaoping smiled: "We have already figured out a way to solve the film, which can definitely reduce the loss of money." As for the high cost, it is inevitable, and the risk is high, but it may not be. ”

The current video rental shop has business difficulties, the owner basically does not know what movies are in the store, and the customers see the cover of the video in the store, and after deciding to rent a certain movie, the clerk takes the cover to the storage room to check whether there is any stock. The weakness is obvious, the staff are exhausted, and the customers often can't wait for the movie they want.

Zhang Shaoping, Yuan Tianfan and others have already summed up all kinds of drawbacks, and then improved them. For example, having the company's experts compile a set of software to manage the stock of movies, and then having the computer make a list of what movies customers rent each day, which will allow all branches to track the stock movies on a daily basis, and also determine which films are the most popular and which are not popular.

Zhang Aijia saw Zhang Shaoping smiling brightly at first glance, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she thought of a possibility, she covered her small mouth and said in surprise: "You...... Do you want to control the distribution end of the world's films? ”

In l975, Sony Corporation launched the world's first home camera betamax, Chinese translated as Bet Marcos, referred to as beta recorder, commonly known as the small 1/2 recorder in Hong Kong. With the advent of this video recorder, expensive video halls were quickly replaced by cheap video halls all over the streets, and even the income from the distribution of video tapes became more and more.

The VCR has become cheaper, but the videotape is not cheap at all, a blank videotape costs more than 60 Hong Kong dollars, and the cost of filling is almost 30 yuan, so the price on the market is more than 130 yuan. With such a high cost, not to mention pirates, even smaller companies can't stand it, which leads to a pitiful number of pirated videotapes on the market.

Video tapes are so expensive, for those humble video halls, it is a big expense, so unless necessary, video halls generally do not buy video tapes, but find video rental shops to rent them. Therefore, don't look at the income from video cassette distribution getting better and better, in fact, the majority of buyers are a number of large and small video tape rental shops.

Yuan Tianfan's strategy for Zhang Shaoping was to control the lowest-end video tape rental shops in order to dominate the distribution market. Once the video tape chain rental company becomes the climate, all film companies and distribution companies will be choked by Zhang Shaoping, and he will release whichever film he wants, if he wants to block a film, even if the film is a blockbuster, it will definitely not appear in the audience's field of vision.

Not only that, video rental companies can also integrate film and television dramas from all over the world, Hong Kong films are distributed to North America, Europe, or Europe and the United States want to distribute films to Asia and other places, video rental companies are an unavoidable hurdle.

"Hell, how dare you think about it!" Zhang Aijia was so shocked, and admired the smiling man in front of her.

"That's what you said, I didn't admit it." Zhang Shaoping smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Have you ever thought that even if you make a great effort to control the end of distribution, other distribution companies and film companies can follow suit, they have no pressure to buy film sources at all, and when the time comes, the price reduction competition is enough to squeeze you down!"

"Haha, how can it be so simple, what about money, where do they get the money? It's likely to be a loss, they can't afford it! Zhang Shaoping smiled faintly, "Besides, I can invest a sum of money in it and let the video rental company develop slowly, while other companies can still make a lot of money." But they are different from me, if they dare to invest a sum of money, they will lack the liquidity to make movies and videos, and when the time comes, it is likely to lead to the breaking of the capital chain and the bankruptcy of the company. ”

In fact, Zhang Shaoping has a lot of hole cards, and he is not afraid of competitors at all.

Zhang Shaoping stared at Zhang Aijiajiao's beautiful face and asked, "Sister Jiajia, just say it, are you willing to do it?" I know, you are named director of New Arts City, in fact, to put it bluntly, you are still an actor, and New Arts City Stage. The Bay Branch is also a shell company, and it is a waste of your youth and talent to stay here. ”

Zhang Aijia's face was cloudy, and her heart was too entangled, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while. She likes to be an actor very much, but she also likes to be a director, especially after Mao Sui recommended herself to direct her debut film "Old Dreams Don't Need to Be Remembered", she wants to make a breakthrough in directing. But this new art city can't give her, and in fact, no company is willing to give her the opportunity to direct.

"I ......"

After struggling in her heart for a long time, Zhang Aijia couldn't let go of Huang Baiming's kindness and friendship after all, and after a sigh, she wanted to reject Zhang Shaoping. But as soon as he opened his mouth to say the word "I", he was interrupted by Zhang Shaoping, who smiled and said: "That's it, anyway, Xinyicheng doesn't stipulate that you can't concurrently hold positions in other companies, you can pick up two ends and one shoulder." ”

That's a good idea. The most popular thing in this year is to wear multiple jobs and build more leather bag companies, such as Hong Jinbao and others set up three companies of Garbo, Baoxiang and Baohe, and then there will be Debao Company, which can be said to be built if you want to build it, and it is very free.

Zhang Aijia's eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled and squinted and said, "Hehe, then I'll be disrespectful." ”
