Shen Chong was considering how to revise and operate after the acquisition of "Film Fortnightly" when the phone on his desk rang.

"Hello?"

"Ah Chong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It was Shu Qi who called, and he apologized repeatedly, "There is a set on Jiahe that needs to be rushed, I can't leave tonight, let's get in touch another day, I'll contact you another day." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy with you, we'll get together next time."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Chong smiled bitterly, even the editor-in-chief is part-time, so the future of this magazine can be imagined.

Historically, "Film Fortnightly" operated dismally for a long time, and was later acquired by capital, and then made up the Academy Awards, which was on the right track.

Since he couldn't find Shu Qi at night, Shen Chong temporarily put aside the idea of "Film Fortnightly", took out a memo, and began to write the next round of marketing plans for the Rubik's Cube.

According to the opening schedule, Visica1c will not be listed until at least July and August, and then it will be advertised and promoted, and it will not be until the end of the year at the earliest, before it can really become a cash cow.

Money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible, although in the eyes of ordinary people, the current degree of making money is already a miracle, but compared to the huge plan in Shen Chong's heart, this money can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, far from enough.

Whether a country's film industry can rise or not, the most important thing is two, one is to have a strong enough economy, and the other is to have a strong enough culture, both of which are indispensable.

Hong Kong is a small area, pale culture, and limited potential, if Shen Chong is bent on tossing Hong Kong local movies, then let alone challenging Hollywood, in a few years, even Bollywood can't do it......

If you want to lead Hong Kong to challenge Hollywood, you must broaden your horizons, in terms of economy, the mainland has great potential, and after 3o years, not to mention the United States, but at least you can fight with the United States.

In terms of culture, the heritage of the Greater Chinese cultural circle is completely intimidated by the United States.

Therefore, in Shen Chong's plan, Hong Kong is just a symbol, a bridgehead, taking advantage of Hong Kong's unique economic and political status, gathering film talents as much as possible, building a well-functioning film platform, accumulating strength, waiting for the time, and waiting for Hollywood to take off after China's economy takes off.

In the early 80s, Hollywood was unusually weak, with a total profit of only four or five billion dollars a year, which was less than half of the money Atari made from selling game consoles...... Among the eight major film companies, Warner is in chaos, MGM is still breathing, United Arts is bankrupt, Disney is half dead, Columbia is in debt, and the two superficial companies are not having a good time, 2O Century Fox has a trump card like "Star Wars", but it still has not gotten rid of the shadow of bankruptcy, Paramount seems to be infinitely beautiful, but as soon as the big boss of its parent company dies, the top management will immediately earthquake, and then languishing for ten years.

Shen Chong plans to take advantage of the weakness of Hollywood and the worst ability to control the global film industry, take advantage of the weakness, and use about ten years to conquer the Asian film market and build Hong Kong into an Asian film center in the real sense.

What Shen Chong wants is an effect like the center of a hurricane - except for Hong Kong, all other places will be destroyed, and the film resources of the whole of Asia will be attracted to Hong Kong, and in the future, any well-known Asian director, whether you are Takeshi Kitano or Kwok Jae-rong, if you want to make a small fight, whatever you want, want to go further and make influential blockbusters? No problem, come to Hong Kong!

In order to achieve such an effect, Shen Chong wanted to build the most advanced film production industry base in Hong Kong, and second, he wanted to use Hong Kong films to conquer the markets of most Asian countries, and then destroy the national film industries of these countries.

Stabilize Asia first, then engage in a tug-of-war with Hollywood, and then counterattack North America when the time is ripe.

Such a plan, the amount of money needed is not a small amount, and the rich and rival countries may not be enough, this is a rough plan for the future by Shen Chong, and how to implement it still needs to be carefully considered.

As soon as the Rubik's Cube marketing plan was written, the phone rang again.

"Ah Chong, Haiqiang is a scoundrel here." It was Li Kaiyuan's phone, and her voice sounded angry, "They want to raise the price, a Rubik's cube to raise the price by 5 yuan!" ”

"Where's Zhengda over there?"

"Zhengda's boss is also here, and the two of them have joined forces."

"What about the previous contract?" The Rubik's Cube was sold too hot, and the starting price of the toy factory was already in Shen Chong's expectations, but a one-time price increase of more than 5o% was too much, "They want to break the contract?" ”

"Before, it was signed according to the quantity, and it was basically settled." Li Kaiyuan said angrily: "If you want to sign a new contract now, each Rubik's Cube will cost 14 yuan." ”

As soon as Shen Chong was about to speak, there was a commotion on the other side of the phone, and then a man's voice with a male duck's voice came, "Boss Shen, I am Haiqiang's old Wang, that's the case, now everything is rising, the price of materials is rising, and the wages of the employees below are also rising ......."

"Okay Boss Wang, the price is fixed, each Rubik's cube will rise by 2 yuan, I will sign an exclusive contract with you for half a year, and all the Rubik's cubes will be produced in your factory for half a year, no less than 1o thousand per month." Shen Chong interrupted his words and said in a resolute tone: "If you don't agree, let's break up, I'll go to Taiwan to do it, even if the price is a little more expensive, I will admit it!" ”

"Boss Shen, business doesn't do this......

"I'll give you a day to think about it, and if you don't respond by this time tomorrow, let's say goodbye." Shen Chongli ignored Boss Wang's chirping and hung up the phone directly.

Stuck my neck threatens me?

I really don't know whether to live or die, Shen Chong sneered.

At noon he read the report, because of piracy, the sales degree has decreased, with the company's current inventory and the number of merchants in the market, at least can ensure that Hong Kong will not be out of stock within a month, and a one-month buffer period, enough for him to find a new agent factory, Taiwan's toy manufacturing industry is the same, the cost is lower, before the main market in Hong Kong, natural local production is more convenient, after the North American market is opened, after the production in Taiwan can be directly shipped to the United States, the importance of Hong Kong toy factory is greatly reduced.

Not to mention......

Shen Chong picked up the pen and casually wrote a date in the blank space at the top of the memo: July 8, 1979.

That's right, on July 8, 1979, the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Sino-foreign Joint Ventures" was officially implemented, and when the time came, I would go directly to Shenzhen to build a factory, and a worker in Hong Kong would earn a monthly salary of 3ooo yuan, but what about Shenzhen? It's less than 1oo pieces! The cost gap is even greater.

You are unkind and unjust, so Shen Chong opened a contract for half a year in one breath and dug a big hole, in this half a year, if you want to produce 1o thousand Rubik's cubes per month, you must recruit people and start work with all your might, and after half a year, the order is gone, see how you play......

When Li Kaiyuan rushed back from the factory, he still looked angry, and Shen Chong said something bad, so she barely lost her anger.

When he came home from work and was about to get home, Li Kaiyuan let go of the hand he was shaking with Shen Chong and said, "Don't be seen by my mother." ”

Shen Chong smiled, and didn't force it, now is indeed not a good time, he said: "Sister Yuanyuan, I brought some gifts from the United States to Uncle Li and Aunt Liu, you can help get it, I will go to your house to pay New Year's greetings, and eat by the way." ”

"Is there any mine?"

"Yes, of course."

Back in the room, Shen Chong dragged out the suitcase, took out a delicate box, and handed it to Li Kaiyuan, "Open it and see if you like it?" ”

In the box is a ruby inlaid pendant, the design is relatively simple, but it is very atmospheric, this is Shen Chong saw it in New York, and he thought it was very suitable for Li Kaiyuan, so he bought it.

The girl really has no resistance to the shiny jewelry, and Li Kaiyuan, who is plain on weekdays, also took the pendant in front of the mirror and tried it for a long time.

"I'm so nervous...... carrying two bags, and when he walked down the stairs, Shen Chong joked: "I suddenly have a feeling that my hairy son-in-law comes to the door." ”

Li Kaiyuan simply punched him in the back, which hurt a lot......

I entered the door, said hello to the New Year, and then delivered some messy specialty products bought in the United States, and then the time was almost up, and I started eating.

"Tonight is the right time to greet the New Year." Shen Chong sat down on the table, rubbed his hands and said, "So rich! ”

"What, my sister said in the morning, you have to come to eat at night, let my mother make it." Tianbao leaked the heavenly opportunity, "My mother is very stingy, and there are not as many dishes on the Spring Festival as there are today." ”

"No one to speak, when you're dumb." Li Kaiyuan unceremoniously knocked her chestnuts, "I think about eating every day, and I'm not too fat." ”

"The teacher said that when you grow your body, you should eat more, and you will be in good shape in the future." Tianbao was not convinced, and shouted: "If you don't give me good food, if I don't have breasts and ass in the future, you have to compensate me!" ”

Shen Chong laughed, and his words were unscrupulous.

"Don't be ashamed! Girls' families, how can they talk like this. Aunt Liu was angry and funny, and gave a chicken leg to Tianbao, "Eat, eat, eat, and become a model when you grow up." ”

"I don't want to be a model, I want to be a big star." Tianbao said while picking up the rice, "It's like Sister LIZa." ”

"Who is Sister LIZa?" Shen Chong asked.

"Sister LIZa doesn't know." Tianbao rolled his eyes, "It's Zhao Min who played in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", but it's famous." ”

"It's Wang Mingquan." Li Kaiyuan was stunned when he saw Shen Chong, and said, "You haven't watched "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"? ”

"I rarely watch TV series, I can't remember exactly." Shen Chong touched his nose, the "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" in his mind was the version of the Ma Sect Master, so naturally he didn't expect it to be Wang Mingquan.

"You Chong Brother is a busy man, how can he be like you, I can't wait to pick up the TV every day." Aunt Liu glared at Tianbao and interjected, "Ah Chong, how is the business of the Rubik's Cube you made?" ”

Shen Chong looked at Li Kaiyuan, and when he saw her shaking her head slightly, he smiled and said vaguely: "It's all up to Sister Yuanyuan's ability, and the sales are quite good, and it will be able to return to the capital in about two months." ”

"It's good to be able to get back to basics, slow down, you are young, don't worry." Li Tang picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, Ah Chong, have a drink." ”

"Uncle Li, I respect you." Shen Chong picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then asked, "By the way, Uncle Li, are you back to the Great Wall Film Factory now?" ”

"He, he completed the transfer procedures before the holiday." Aunt Liu grabbed a sentence: "I'll go to work as soon as the Spring Festival is over." ”

"Then has "The Legend of the White Witch" started filming?"

"Nope." Li Tang shook his head and said, "Zhang Xinyan is still writing the script, I met him yesterday, and he told me that it would be good if your father was still here." ”

"My dad?"

"Yes, every time Zhang Xinyan made a movie in the past, he wrote the script with your father, and your father wrote well."

And this kind of thing? Zhang Xinyan is actually a friend of his father's generation?

"Old man, drink too much." When Aunt Liu saw Shen Chong stunned, she thought he was sad, and blamed Li Tang and said, "It's all nonsense!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Chong hurriedly explained: "In the past, I always stayed at home without moving, and many elders didn't know each other, if Uncle Li didn't mention it, I wouldn't know that Director Zhang was a good friend of my father." By the way, Uncle Li, if you are free one day, you will take me to pay a New Year's greeting to Director Zhang? ”

"It's fine." Li Tang did not doubt him, and agreed: "Zhang Xinyan and your father have a good relationship, you should be very happy to see you." ”

It's good, I finally found an opportunity to contact Zhang Xinyan.

"The Legend of the White Witch" is just a springboard, Shen Chong is neither ready to invest, nor ready to play a role in the crew, he just needs to find a springboard, appear at the right time, appear in the right place, and have a good relationship with Zhang Xinyan, and this springboard plan will be completed.

The rest is how to stand out and let Deng Gong add up to himself in a group of people......
