Chapter 7: Sony
Five days later, Shinjuku, Japan.
As soon as Shen Chong walked into the door of the Hilton Hotel, Zeng Lizhen hurriedly greeted her, looking at her appearance, she had been waiting in the hall for a while.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Shen, your method won't work." She said with a bitter face: "I asked Zhu Jiading to find more than ten companies, but no one is willing to sponsor." ā
"It's definitely not so easy to do with a new business model." Shen Chong walked towards the elevator and said, "Is there really no one?" ā
"There is a small shrimp that is willing, and Binbin Fashion Company intends to sponsor 1o million Hong Kong dollars." Zeng Lizhen said: "With such a little money, it is better not to have it." ā
Fashion is Yip's company, which specializes in trendy fashion and jeans, and he also runs a film company of the same name, which has a lot of roots in the Hong Kong New Wave of cinema.
Xiao Fangfang's "Jumping Ashes", Yan Hao's "Eggplant Fei", Chen Xinjian's "Inside and Outside the Wall" and other new wave films are all done by Binbin Film Company, Ye Zhiming has a younger sister named Ye Yuqing, who will be a famous star in Hong Kong in the future, but at this time, she should still be a little Lori.
"Ye Zhiming is worthy of making movies, he has a vision, and he wants to be small and big." Shen Chong stood in front of the elevator, pressed the up button, and said: "He is in a difficult situation now, he can take out 100,000 yuan, which can be regarded as very sincere, his film company is about to go out of business, right?" ā
"I'm still struggling, and I've heard that I'm looking for someone to raise money everywhere." Zeng Lizhen said: "It's too difficult to offend Taiwan, offend Golden Harvest and Lisheng in a row, and want to do a film business in Hong Kong." ā
Ye Zhiming originally set up a film company, just to advertise its fashion, he cooperated with Lisheng Cinema and Golden Harvest Cinema, did a few plays, sold well, and earned a lot of money.
It's okay to play casually, but if you really want to make a big deal and become a competitor, how can Golden Harvest continue to cooperate with him, naturally you want to squeeze him out, so the two sides broke up, and Ye Zhiming's appetite was too big, and he also fell out with Lisheng Cinema - Lisheng Cinema, the predecessor of the famous Golden Princess Cinema, is the third largest cinema chain other than Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.
Shaw Brothers is the same as Golden Harvest, it's okay to screen one or two, Ministry? Don't even think about it......
Ye Zhiming had no choice but to make a desperate bet and rented the "Shuangnan" cinema of the leftist film company to screen these 20 or so films, and the result can be imagined, and the Taiwan side was immediately furious -- you guys, take our movies and go to the leftist theaters to show them, so that the leftists can make money from the rightists, this is a blatant act of "capital enemy", and it must be blocked.
Without the Taiwan market, it is naturally miserable, not only the film company is going to close, but even the parent company Binbin Fashion is also being dragged down, Ye Zhiming is now on the verge of bankruptcy, so Shen Chong said that he can get 100,000 yuan, which is already very rare.
Ye Zhiming is still quite capable, although this incident made him finally bankrupt, but later he made a comeback, founded Feitu Records in the 9o years, and those who have experienced the Vcd era should still remember that this company produced a large number of nV and kara CDs, and later this company was acquired by the Emperor, Nicholas Tse, Rowan and others also became the Emperor's artists.
"Except for Binbin, there is no other company?"
"Coca-Cola said that if Mr. Shen you play the leading role in person." Zeng Lizhen followed him, walked into the elevator, helped press the number on the top floor, and said: "Not only did they provide full sponsorship, but they also gave Mr. Shen an additional $5oo dollars in global advertising endorsement fees." ā
"I can't imagine that I, who looks mediocre, is worth so much money." Shen Chong laughed self-deprecatingly twice and said, "You didn't go to a Japanese company? ā
"I found it, but the management of the Japanese company is very strict, and the branch in Hong Kong does not have the authority to make decisions, so you need to apply to the head office, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth." Zeng Lizhen was a little anxious and said: "The crew has been on for four or five days, and the heroine hasn't been done yet, how can I afford to wait so long." ā
"Isn't the place where you're standing now in Japan?" Shen Chong walked out of the elevator, took out the door card, and said, "Go directly to the head office with the intention." ā
"But I don't know Japanese, I don't know anyone in Tokyo, and I haven't done advertising or sales......
"If you don't know, you know, and if you don't know it, you can do it." Shen Chong said indifferently: "Sister Zhen, you are too timid, you should break through more, this is a shopping mall, not a battlefield, you can't die." ā
While speaking, he opened the door of the presidential suite, and after walking a few steps, he felt a little wrong, and when he looked back, he saw Zeng Lizhen standing in the corridor, with red eyes and crying.
"Alas, don't cry, don't cry." This is the first time this kind of thing has been encountered, Shen Chong was a little overwhelmed, stunned for a while, had to beckon, and said: "If you have something to come in, don't stand there, let people see how bad it is, I don't blame you." ā
When Zeng Lizhen walked into the room, Shen Chong closed the door, asked her to sit down, took a box of tissues to her, and said, "What are you crying about, don't cry, don't cry, I'm most afraid of women crying." ā
Fortunately, Zeng Lizhen quickly controlled her feelings, she wiped her tears with a tissue, and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape." ā
"It's okay, everyone has tough times." Shen Chong sat opposite her and said, "Seeing you like this, you have suffered a lot of grievances? ā
"Little Japan is too hateful" Zeng Lizhen snorted, gritted his teeth and said: "I have bought more than ten plane tickets this month, flying around, giving enough sincerity, they bite the tongue and do not let go, and yesterday added a new condition, saying that Miura Tomokazu will also be added to the crew, and he will be specially designed for a role, and he will be paid 5o US dollars, I really shouldn't have proposed to find a Japanese to act, this is spending money to hire someone to film, I fucking spend money to find myself uncomfortable, and beg grandpa to sue grandma everywhere for ......"
After venting for a while, she calmed down and said: "Yamaguchi Baihui doesn't want to go to Hong Kong to film at all, her salary for filming in Japan is at most 5o US dollars, and she will give us 3oo yuan, and this and that conditions, Mr. Shen, why don't we change someone else to shoot?" Japan is not the only one who is popular. ā
"No, the more she doesn't want to shoot, the more she wants to shoot." Shen Chong smiled and said, "You sue the brokerage company, you can agree to any condition, but we also have one condition." ā
"What?"
"After filming this drama, Momoe Yamaguchi can't take on any new movies." Shen Chong said: "We want to make sure that 'Die Hard' is her retirement work. ā
"Mr. Shen, this ......" Zeng Lizhen said a little uncertainly: "You want to buy out Yamaguchi Baihui's acting career?" ā
"Even if I am rich and rival the country, I can't compete with Japan, how can I have such a great ability to buy her out." Shen Chong smiled, he stood up, walked to the miniature bar, picked up the glass, poured a glass of water, handed it to her, and said: "I heard that Yamaguchi Momoe agreed to Tomokazu Miura's marriage proposal, according to Japanese tradition, if she gets married, she will quit the entertainment industry, since she spent 3oo thousand, she naturally wants to maximize the use, her fans are very crazy, and it is very beneficial to the box office to put a retirement gimmick on "Die Hard". ā
"What about Tomokazu Miura?"
"Promise them too." Shen Chong poured himself another glass of water, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Give him a small role, the kind that dies miserably." ā
"But he wants a salary of 5o yuan, which is too high." Zeng Lizhen held the cup and said: "In this way, the budget will be paid, and I am unwilling to let him take so much money for no reason." ā
"It's okay, for your sake, I'll help you once and let the Japanese pay for it themselves." Shen Chong laughed twice, he took out a business card from his pocket, then picked up the phone next to Sha, and said, "I'll make a call." ā
After the phone was connected, Shen Chong first said two sentences in Japanese, then changed to English, and after chatting for a few minutes, he put down the phone and said to Zeng Lizhen: "Okay, tomorrow you take my business card, bring the movie plan, and go to the advertising department of Sony Company." ā
Zeng Lizhen repeatedly hit a wall in Japan, and her confidence fell to the bottom, at this time, seeing what he said lightly, and contacting a world-class electrical company, she was a little incredulous, and hesitated and said: "Will Sony agree to sponsor?" ā
Shen Chong flipped through the business card in his hand, put it up to show her, and said, "Do you know who this person is?"
"Akio Morita, AK-IT" Zeng Lizhen read out the English name on the business card with some difficulty, and then asked, "Who is he?" ā
"Sister Zhen, you usually need to know a little bit of business information, if you make movies, you can not understand movies, but you can't not understand business." Shen Chong took back his business card and said, "Akio Morita is the chairman of Sony
Zeng Lizhen's eyes widened.
"Don't be so surprised." Shen Chong smiled very stinkyly, pointed to himself, and said, "I'm honored to inform you that the person sitting in front of you is Sony's largest individual shareholder and strategic partner. ā
That's right, Shen Chong's biggest purpose in coming to Japan this time is for Sony.
The speculation of gold futures has come to an end, Shen Chong has entered more than 300 million US dollars, at this time the exchange rate of the US dollar against the yen is 1:o and the stock price of Sony is only in the early days, which can be described as the price of cabbage, which is a good time to rush to buy.
Shen Chong is preparing to build its "film power" real yĆ n room, specializing in the study of new technologies in film, Sony in video and audio, has a deep technical accumulation and strong research capabilities, before there is tam video tape technology, now there is aIkmau, there will be cd, high-definition cameras and other digital audio-visual products, these things, are what he dreamed of.
At the beginning of the Ru era, the mainland's digital product research capabilities were basically blank, Hong Kong and Taiwan, have always done little in scientific research, the United States, Texas Instruments, which has the key technology of digital film, is a semi-military company, Shen Chong can't start, so it is the best choice to establish a cooperative relationship with Sony, which has a low stock price.
The acquisition of Sony is obviously unlikely, but if you can have enough shares and become a member of the board of directors, you can easily grasp the research trends and some key technical information, and rely on the big tree, so that your research office can grow quickly.
Sony is the most international company in Japan, and the epoch-making aIkmau has been successfully developed, but it has not yet been introduced to the market, so the stock price is low, and it is a good time to start.
