Chapter Ninety-Nine: Xiaobawang goes public
At the beginning of November, the Xiaoao Jianghu crew finally returned.
Filming was planned in June, and the shooting started in July, and it took four months to finish, and everything else hasn't started yet. Other Xiangjiang bosses have long been angry, like Shao Yifu, although he didn't say anything, he also complained.
There's no way, the old man is under a lot of pressure now, Hollywood's big investment is a mess, and the famous Hollywood director who directed the alien and became famous suffered a tragic Waterloo in Blade Runner, which made Boss Shao miserable.
It turned out that Shao Yifu was still looking forward to the movie written by Li Xuechu, but as time went by, he slowly became not optimistic. This kind of oriental martial arts may not be able to please the audience in Europe and the United States, and the European and American markets are the biggest capital of Oriental Dreamworks. In terms of Asia, although Oriental DreamWorks also has a lot of influence, in general, it may not be much better than Princess Golden Harvest in this territory.
Coupled with the large cost cast, as well as worries about the martial arts theme, the shadow of failure once again surfaced in Boss Shao's heart.
"At the beginning of the school, how did you feel about this movie?"
"It will definitely succeed, Uncle Six, look at it." Li Xuechu said with a smile.
There are no good films in the Spring Festival file of 83 years, pseudo-sci-fi interstellar blunt tires, the Xianxia drama Shushan Legend that discredited Xu Ke, are all in a mess, and the happiest laugh during this year's Spring Festival is still the Golden Princess and Xinyicheng, the best partner 2 is as successful as the same part, and now the two blockbusters of Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest, which make Princess Jin like a great enemy, have not yet reached more than half of his box office, and the interstellar blunt tire has also suffered a refund turmoil, losing the box office and losing people.
Now that Shaw Brothers has a work that can save face, Li Xuechu, who has watched the film, feels quite satisfied. Director Hu Jinquan did not lose his level, and he waited patiently in vain.
This movie can be described as full of twists and turns. After deciding to shoot in China, Wu Zhi Chen Xiaodong was very busy. It is not easy to smile at the beginning of the year. Shushan Biography is also in a lot of trouble, which makes him anxious. It's a pity that there are no talents in this area now, so I still feel relieved to find him Li Xuechu, after all, I have already communicated with these people once in the previous black heroes.
Chen Xiaodong didn't have a problem in many places in Shushan, and finally asked a Hollywood special effects company to help him get it, but Westerners don't know anything about the Eastern Xianxia theme, and the final effect can be imagined.
"Sixth uncle, I still put this movie on the prime time of the Spring Festival, of course. It's best to stagger with Princess Jin's best partner for more than ten days, so it's safer. Li Xuechu built yƬ said.
"This ...... Let me think again. Shao Yifu was a little embarrassed. Shaw Brothers' original plan was to promote interstellar blunt tires, after all, this is a co-production, and interstellar blunt tires are completely Shaw Brothers investment films, which are different from each other.
Even if he wants to, he doesn't know what the quarrel will be, and Shao Yifu can't control the current situation of the Shaw Family. Just like some large companies with complex internal relationships, it is difficult to change the current problems. In the end, I could only watch it fall.
Li Xuechu smiled and said nothing, even if he didn't mention this, he wouldn't be able to help him in the future, and the interstellar blunt tire was destined to not be screened for a few days. Because no one is watching. Li Xuechu is worried that the audience's dissatisfaction caused by this movie will affect the film that will be followed.
Shao Yifu thought for a while and asked, "By the way, when will this movie be completed." ā
"Just wait for post-production and soundtrack. It will definitely be done before New Year's Day. ā
"That doesn't affect the release, urge them to hurry up. January is also a good month. ā
"Do you want to release it early?"
"Well, do you think that's okay?" Shao Yifu asked with some embarrassment. Just said to think about it. Now that he is urging people to release it in advance, it is clear that he has rejected people's requests.
"That's a good idea, I'm okay with that." Li Xuechu said with a smile.
Although he failed to take over the prime file of interstellar blunt tires, it was much better than being affected by him.
"That's good, that's it." Shao Yifu breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Xuechu doesn't cooperate, Shao Yifu will be really embarrassed.
After talking about the movie, Shao Yifu asked another topic he cared about.
"By the way, what is the product you advertise on wireless called?"
"Video game consoles, which will be available next month, at least let everyone know about it now."
"The two TV stations advertise together in prime time, it seems that you are very optimistic about this product."
"I'm quite optimistic about this project, now is the era of technology, and electronic technology will definitely enter all areas of life, especially entertainment."
Shao Yifu nodded: "That's right, but unfortunately I don't understand this thing." ā
"I don't know much about the specifics, but I just need to know that he has a future, and the technical things are for the professionals. Uncle Six, in fact, you can also consider doing some electronic projects, such as the current mobile phone, I feel very good. ā
"Hehe, forget it, I don't know anything about this. Let's start your own TV station, this one is more familiar. ā
Shao Yifu was also a little moved, the young man in front of him had done a lot of things that shook Xiangjiang, like an operation last month, which made a group of rich people stunned. Seeing that he is so willing to spend money on this project, he is obviously very optimistic about this project.
It's a pity that the other party is not short of money in hand, and his proposal to cooperate at this time is undoubtedly equivalent to picking fruits, and he can't do this kind of thing.
"That's a pity, this project is still very promising."
"Then why aren't you going to do it?"
"I'm too busy with my business, even if I'm optimistic about this project, I don't have the extra energy to come in."
"Hehe, others don't know what they will envy when they hear it." Shao Yifu himself is quite envious.
Mobile phone Li Xuechu didn't plan to get involved, but he could consider investing in shares, and now he can't be busy with so many things. With the listing of Xiaobawang and the gradual decline in real estate prices, after making a lot of money before, there is bound to be a new round of wealth growth, and the amount of money is too fast to count.
The telecom market is lucrative, but the investment is also high, and dealing with the government is indispensable, and there are too many troubles, especially at the government level. Li Xuechu's speculation this time is destined to make the government unhappy. Although they are also fueling this trend, their ideal wealth pickers should be British. To this speculator who suddenly pounced and swallowed up assets. and the followers that followed, the British government in Hong Kong did not look at it horizontally and vertically.
"You'll have to be careful in the future." Li Xuechu thought secretly.
Financial speculators are like hyenas on the African savannah. If you don't prey on others and rob others, you won't be treated by the government and the people anywhere. Li Xuechu didn't want to be resented by the government and people of a small half of the continent like Soros in later generations, especially if the place where he did it was the area where he lived. Fortunately, Hong Kong Ying can't get out of it by himself, and it's not good to point fingers at him and scold Huai.
Despite this, Li Xuechu is still indispensable to fight among the media, and he really doesn't know what he will scold himself for when he orders soup and drinks. There are many people in the Xiangjiang media who dare to scold the government, but fortunately they don't spray their own financiers, and they will be fine if they are willing to collect money.
However, the eighties were still very tolerant of speculators. Especially in Xiangjiang. To put it bluntly, half of the city's inhabitants are speculators. Every economic turmoil in Hong Kong is so big that it is related to the small size of the region and the British government in Hong Kong, but it is also inseparable from the local people's enthusiasm for making quick money, and the proportion of shareholders here is among the best in the world, and it is basically a short-term operation. Of course, this trend has not yet become widespread.
ā¦ā¦
At the same time, influenced by Eastern and Western cultures, the ability of Heungjiang people to accept new things is quite good, especially in Asia, and they are at the forefront of the region. It's a pity that one of them is a little disappointed themselves. They are fashion and high-tech junkies, but the city has not done much of a few, which is a small pity.
During this time, the most discussed thing in Xiangjiang was an electronic product. Electronic products are not uncommon in Hong Kong. The difference this time is because this video game console is made in Hong Kong. The TV advertising had a good effect, and although we haven't experienced the product yet, everyone knows about it now.
In fact, this is made in China. However, Li Xuechu imitated the crazy model and did a good job in China. Pull back Xiangjiang and package it, all live! It's different from love crazy. The research center has also been placed in China.
In later generations, China was a global OEM base, covering everything from shoes and clothing to electronic products to animation, film and television. While scolding domestic brands for being rotten, people are constantly praising foreign famous brands, and they ignore that many famous brands are 'domestic'. Of course, there are various reasons, domestic foundries can achieve first-class quality, but they have been criticized for themselves.
Foreigners are very strict on OEM, they are not allowed to say that you are a foundry of XX on the bright side, they are not allowed to advertise, it is best not to have their own products, all kinds of suppression. And do it yourself, all kinds of cottages smash signboards, the lawsuit procedures are too cumbersome, all kinds of mud inaction, everyone rolls in a muddy pond. Obviously, many companies have accumulated a lot of strength, but they are still trapped in a low place and can't get out.
So the strange status quo came out, everyone said that it was good to buy a pair of Adi, and the value of the factory that did Adi immediately dropped by more than half when it pasted its own brand, although it was from the same factory, there was no difference except for the signage. As for Adi, not only is it domestic to buy in China, but it is still the case when you buy abroad, and people don't have a physical factory at all, but no one can say that it's bad.
Domestic film companies run Hollywood companies to do special effects, and Hollywood pulls the business back to domestic OEM, and finally the domestic profit is 30%, and people get 70% of the 'intermediary fee', and the domestic film companies that spend a lot of money are also full of praise for special effects: it is worthy of being a big Hollywood company, and this strength is a cow.
A whole bunch of similar examples.
Sometimes the distance between the domestic factory and the point of sale is so far that it doesn't look like it's in a country. There is no way, three points of the concept of the Chinese people, three points of the 'ingenuity' of foreigners, plus four points of administrative inaction, and a strange industrial body was born in this way.
"Boss, the magic capital has faxed over, and the first batch of products will arrive next Thursday." This is Zhang Daming, the newly hired manager of the electronics factory, graduated from Xiangjiang University, a rare local engineering talent, and has five or six years of management experience in the electronic watch factory.
"You go and ask the factory if there are any problems, don't have something wrong at that time, and it will be troublesome if it affects the time to market of the product."
"Okay, I'll ask." Zhang Daming nodded in response, and said with some unwillingness: "Actually, there is basically no problem if you are only responsible for packaging, boss, are you considering delegating some production tasks to come here?" ā
"Let's look at this later, I'll think about it."
Looking at the subordinates who wanted to speak and stopped, Li Xuechu soothed: "Manager Zhang, you know that we still have to build a research room here, and future projects will not be the only one." ā
Zhang Daming's heart finally relaxed, he didn't want to be just a manager with the nature of a workshop director. He also has a lot of ambitions for the electronics industry, and he is full of thoughts to create a Sony-like electronics giant in his hometown. It's a pity that there has been no chance before, and none of the so many rich people in Xiangjiang seem to have this mind, and they all ran away to real estate and finance.
I used to live in an electronic watch factory for five or six years, which is really enough. If he had done this here, even if the salary was not low, he would have considered finding a job or emigrating. The nostalgia for the place where he was born and raised made him not make up his mind to go abroad, but Xiangjiang is really young. If it weren't for some expectations for the electronics company founded by Li Xuechu, he might not be here now.
Li Xuechu didn't fool him, the two research institutes are not much for an ambitious company, and it is a lot more convenient to do things in Xiangjiang. There is nothing to worry about when you come to Xiangjiang, but in the current environment in China, it is simply a tiger's den for some people.
There is no way, this is the propaganda of the foreign media now. (To be continued......)
