Just when Duan Zihao was busy with his solo album, there was a knock on the door of the recording studio, and it was Sister Zhi Zhao Yazhi. :3w

Duan Zihao hasn't seen Zhao Yazhi for a long time, and the two of them are also busy doing their own things, so it can be said that there is less gathering and more separation.

At this moment, pushing open the door and seeing Duan Zihao busy, Zhao Yazhi looked a little embarrassed, so he interrupted him and said, "Ah Hao, are you free tonight?" His voice seemed to tremble a little from nervousness.

Duan Zihao originally wanted to say that he was really busy, but after looking at Zhao Ya, he saw a bit of hope in her eyes, as if there was something important, so he changed his tone and said, "I'm free, what's wrong?" ”

"Well, that's good, come to my lodgings at eight o'clock tonight, I have something to tell you, don't be late!" After saying this sentence like fried popcorn, Zhao Yazhi quickly looked away, the heart was about to jump out of her chest, and a delicate blush spread all over her face in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, it's eight o'clock, no problem, how can I be late for Sister Zhi's invitation!" Duan Zihao was stunned, was it because she hadn't been to her house for a long time, and she felt lonely and lonely? Hehe, Sister Zhi is too sexy, it seems that she is a little impatient. Duan Zihao thought about bad thoughts.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do, it's time on time!" Zhao Yayi saw Duan Zihao's eyes, and knew what this guy was thinking, so he was shy, glanced at him with a red face, and strode away. Of course, before leaving, Zhao Yazhi did not forget to raise his palm and pretend to brush the broken hair around his ears, in order to cover the shame on his face.

Duan Zihao smiled slightly, and said in his heart that it looks like he has to buy some red wine tonight, and a candlelight dinner will be romantic......

Looking back, Duan Zihao continued to manage the release of his "Hurricane" album. He called the big four record labels in Hong Kong and hoped to use their distribution channels to sell the album.

Polygram, the head of the four major record companies, immediately agreed. However, conditions were put forward in terms of sharing.

According to the previous way of selling records in Hong Kong, companies like Polygram generally do two things, that is, to make records for distribution, and now that the records have been made by Actor Entertainment, then they help distribute in the hope of getting a 60% profit commission.

This commission amount is a bit too high for Duan Zihao, after all, the cost of the record is covered by themselves, they just provide channels, and they want to take the lion's share, which is also too whimsical.

Therefore, on the phone, Duan Zihao directly refused: "It's okay to divide it into four or six." But the actor entertainment is six, and you are four; If you want to, you can cooperate, and if you don't, you will talk about it next time. ”

Duan Zihao's refusal made PolyGram President Mr. Paul very angry, thinking that Duan Zihao was ignoring his kind offer, so he said on the phone: "Okay, dear Duan, we will work together next time, I want to see how your damn record can be sold without PolyGram's sales channel!" ”

Looks like this guy is really angry. It's a little out of measure to speak.

In this regard, Duan Zihao hung up the phone directly.

Yes, it is impossible not to admit that PolyGram Records has the most important way to release records throughout Asia. Without their help, it would have been a bit difficult to sell the record.

But Duan Zihao doesn't care about this, what he doesn't like the most is being threatened, not to mention that he is still a ghost who threatens him.

Therefore. After rejecting PolyGram, Duan Zihao continued to call the other three record companies, but the despicable Polygram had already greeted those three companies. One bite is determined, it must be divided into four or six, and the record company takes the lion's share.

It's not that they can't recognize the charm of Duan Zihao's records, but because their hearts are full of money.

In their opinion, Duan Zihao had no choice and would only succumb to their union in the end.

This new film tycoon has a hand in making movies, but he also makes records...... It's still a little tender.

Now, under the refusal of the four major record companies to cooperate, Duan Zihao is under pressure, and his head is starting to hurt, and he thinks carefully about how to solve this situation.

……

The fat man Wang Jing was called to the office by Duan Hao, and Duan Zihao didn't talk nonsense, and said to him bluntly: "Fatty, we are in trouble!" Then I talked about the four major record companies uniting to deal with actor entertainment.

After hearing this, the fat man scolded and scolded these people for wanting money and going crazy.

Duan Zihao waited for him to turn off the flame, and then discussed the solution, and the fat man said: "It's a big deal to get rid of these four companies, cooperate with those small and medium-sized companies, and fight a bloody way!" ”

Duan Zihao nodded, "This is also a way, as the distribution channels of these companies are not as wide as those of the four major companies, they also have their own ways." Besides, they were not qualified to cooperate with us at all, but now that we have picked them up, it is estimated that they will also be very grateful to us, and it is good for everyone to help each other. ”

"But these are palliatives rather than cures, and if I remember correctly, the big four record companies have about two-thirds of the total sales channels in Hong Kong and Asia. Even if we take this third, it will not help, and in the end, it is we who will suffer. ”

Hearing Duan Zihao say this, the fat man nodded, "You're right, it seems that it's not okay to go head-to-head with these guys, you have to curve to save the country." ”

"Curves save the country?" The joke was haughty for a moment.

The fat man smiled evilly: "Hao, do you know what I did before I made the movie?" ”

"What are you doing, aren't you a screenwriter?"

"Wrong, the screenwriter can make a few bucks, not enough for me to go to the bar and drink a good bottle of wine...... What I'm doing is selling videotapes......" the fat man said sneakily.

Duan Zihao: "......"

Fat man: "At that time, the sales of video tapes were blocked by large companies, so I teamed up with a group of friends to start buying and selling on behalf of others...... For any video tape that sells well, we collect the money first, and then I will send you as much as you want, and to put it bluntly, I will be a middleman and draw some oil and water...... But do you know how it turned out? All the highest-grossing movies in Hong Kong, we can buy thousands of copies, why is this happening? Because there is a demand in the market! The better the movie, the better the videotape sells! And also. The fewer tapes you have, the more expensive they will sell! ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he directly lit a bright light in Duan Zihao's heart.

Odd goods can live!

Scarcity is expensive!

"Hahaha, I understand, I finally understand!" Duan Zihao laughed.

"The reason why the big four companies dare to challenge us is because we have a huge number of records and have to rely on their channels to sell them, but if we release them in limited quantities, we will only release 100,000 copies of 1 million copies, and only 10,000 copies of 100,000 copies...... What would that be? ”

The fat man also smiled: "By that time, the bullshit channels of the four major companies will still be used for birds!" Because we don't need to sell that much at all! ”

"Exactly!" Duan Zihao suddenly brightened. Then he ordered: "From now on, this record of mine is limited to 10,000 copies!" Each one had to be numbered, and I was given a personal poster and a signed stamp, and in addition to that, in terms of price - 100 times higher! ”

The fat man almost fainted with a bang, "Ah Hao, I understand what you mean, but isn't the price of 100 times higher......?"

"Hehe, it's not high, the profit after a hundred times increase is equivalent to our sales of 1 million! Since we are in limited editions. You have to take the luxury route, why is LV precious? Not because it's good quality, but because it's expensive! Duan Zihao said firmly, "Trust me." This time, our records are sure to blow up the market! ”

……

finally found a solution to record sales, and as soon as Duan Zihao breathed a sigh of relief, the phone in the office rang.

The call was from Wang Zuxian, one of the best actors in the actor entertainment company.

Today's Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung can be said to be the most favored little princesses in the entire company.

Especially Wang Zuxian is almost valued by many big directors of the actor entertainment company because of his beautiful appearance. Write a script for her to start a play. For example, the big guy Xu Ke "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", as well as John Woo's "The True Color of Heroes 2", and even Wong Kar-wai wants to invite her to star in "Carmen in Mong Kok". However, because Wang Zuxian's schedule was too full, he changed it to Maggie Cheung.

Besides, in addition to being very talented in acting, Wang Zuxian is also better than Maggie Cheung in terms of life. The main reason is that Maggie Cheung has a little sister style, which is disliked by many sisters, for example, Zhao Yazhi doesn't like her very much, thinking that she is not stable enough, but likes Wang Zuxian even more; On the contrary, another sister, Zhong Chuhong, likes Maggie Cheung and dislikes Wang Zuxian, feeling that Maggie Cheung has a true temperament, and Wang Zuxian is too good at "acting".

So much so that it is divided into two camps in the actor entertainment Hua Dan, one is the camp headed by Zhao Yazhi, which has Wang Zuxian, Zeng Huaqian, and Lan Jieying; The other is the camp headed by Zhong Chuhong, which has Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, etc.

There was no such thing as ganging up in the early days of actor entertainment, when the company was small, there were few people, and the competition was not fierce; However, as Actor Entertainment continues to grow, just like an empire, it is prone to this kind of problems and situations.

It's just that as the helmsman of this company, Duan Zihao doesn't know anything about it, and those directors know it very well, but they still think that Duan Zihao deliberately connived at these people in order to check and balance, so the big guys also chose their own gangs to join in order to strengthen their strength.

Among them, Xu Ke, Hong Jinbao, Wu Yusen and others have become a "veteran faction" because of their old age and seniority; Wong Kar-wai, Liu Zhenwei, and the newly joined Liu Guanwei and others, because they are about the same age and the time of their debut, they consider themselves to be "young Zhuang".

In short, the current actor entertainment is very "intertwined", but Duan Zihao doesn't know.

It is said that Xiaohuadan Wang Zuxian suddenly called, which made Duan Zihao a little confused, because according to the schedule, she should shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" on the set.

Sure enough, Wang Zuxian said hello and began to complain, saying how he suffered on the set. What can't eat enough, can't sleep well at night, the weather is cold and almost cold, etc.

It wasn't until I talked a lot that I got to the point, saying if I wanted to go to Sister Zhi's house together in the evening.

Of course, the "Sister Zhi" in Wang Zuxian's mouth is Zhao Yazhi, Duan Zihao couldn't help but be stunned, "Why?" ”

Wang Zuxian said right there: "Today is a very important day, for Sister Zhi, there is only one day a year. ”

Duan Zihao smiled and said casually: "One day a year? Don't tell me it's Sister Zhi's birthday! ”

"Birthday?"

As soon as these two words were spoken, a flash of inspiration flashed in Duan Zihao's mind, "Listen to the tone of this girl's voice." Could it be that today is really Sister Zhi's birthday? And Sister Zhi invited herself to come over tonight just to help her celebrate her birthday? Well, it's likely, it's likely! ”

"I finally guessed it, you're not stupid! Today is November 15th, which is Sister Zhi's birthday! ”

Just when Duan Zihao was speculating, Wang Zuxian said with a smile, and there was a bit of teachable meaning in his words.

"Why didn't Sister Zhi tell me about such an important matter!" Duan Zihao put away his joke and secretly smiled bitterly twice. Fortunately, Wang Zuxian came to call at this time, otherwise he would have run to Sister Zhi tonight without any preparation, and he would have been too sorry for her.

"Sister Zhi has never had a birthday in the past two years, so she naturally won't tell you. You must come here tonight, or I won't be able to spare you. Also, don't tell Sister Zhi that you already know that today is her birthday, and we can give her a big surprise in the evening! Wang Zuxian laughed proudly.

"Don't worry, I'll be there at eight o'clock in the evening!" Even if this girl doesn't confess, Duan Zihao will do it. Looking at the watch, there is still an hour, which is enough to prepare a birthday gift for Zhao Yazhi.

"Well, that's it. Bye. ”

"Bye-bye!"

Thinking of Zhao Yazhi's initiative to invite him, but he was still stupidly unclear, Duan Zihao felt funny. Anyway, you must choose a good gift for Sister Zhi today.

……

Sky. Gradually, it darkened, and night fell over Hong Kong.

Zhao Yazhi didn't go to the set tonight, and since he came back from the end of filming in the afternoon. She began to work in the kitchen. After more than an hour, a sumptuous dinner was finally placed in the hall. Zhao Yazhi took off the apron tied around his waist, looked at the fragrant dishes on the table, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Looking at the time, seeing that there were still a few minutes before eight o'clock, Zhao Yazhi turned around and went into the kitchen to clean up.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, there was a loud exclamation from outside.

When Zhao Yazhi heard the sound, he hurriedly walked out, and saw Wang Zuxian with his dark and round eyes, his eyes turning around on the table, and his small nose twitching from time to time, looking drooping. Zhao Yazhi was a little amused when he saw this, and said randomly but with some surprise: "Zuxian, why are you here, you don't have to film?" ”

Wang Zuxian woke up from the fragrant temptation, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi, today is your birthday, as your loyal admirer, how can I not come to celebrate?" As she spoke, Maggie Cheung stretched out the palm hidden behind her back, and a square gift box appeared in front of Zhao Yazhi.

"Sister Zhi, happy birthday!"

"Thank you!"

Zhao Yazhi took the gift, his heart was touched slightly, his lips opened, and he was about to say something of thanks, but he suddenly heard Wang Zuxian smile and said narrowly: "Sister Zhi, listening to the tone of your voice just now, it seems that you don't welcome me back...... Well, and you have prepared such a good meal, hehe, you can't be someone particularly important, right? ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Zuxian found that there were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table. Wouldn't you, do you really let yourself be right? Seeing Sister Zhi so happy, could it be that the person who came here was Duan Zihao's guy? If that's the case. Then calling Duan Zihao today is redundant.

Wang Zuxian almost subconsciously thought of Duan Zihao, and only Duan Zihao in the whole Hong Kong could make Sister Zhi so happy. Looking at the smile on Zhao Yazhi's face, Wang Zuxian was also sincerely happy for her. It's just that after a while, the girl muttered in her heart again, "Hmph, stinky boss, I obviously made an appointment with Sister Zhi, but when I answered the phone, I pretended not to know that today was Sister Zhi's birthday, but for Sister Zhi's sake." I won't bother with you! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there can be any special people tonight, you don't know my habits?" Zhao Yazhi rolled her eyes at Maggie Cheung angrily, but lowered her head a little weakly, and straightened the two plates that were not neatly placed.

"Really?"

Maggie Cheung looked at Zhao Yazhi and giggled twice, and suddenly patted her thigh and screamed "oops". If her guess just now is correct, Sister Zhi estimates that she wants to live a two-person world with Duan Zihao tonight. Wouldn't this one of them have an extra light bulb between them? It seems that it is really a bad time for me to come back!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wang Zuxian's sudden move, Zhao Yazhi was taken aback. Hurriedly glanced at her.

Wang Zuxian's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just too excited!"

Zhao Yazhi was stunned: "Excited? ”

"Yes, of course I'm excited to see the deliciousness of this table, and if no one else comes, then the two of us will enjoy all these dishes. Sister Zhi, I can't wait now, why don't you start dinner now? Wang Zuxian said as he pulled over one and sat down. grabbed a pair of chopsticks and stretched out a plate of roast duck in the middle, but his eyes were secretly aimed at Zhao Yazhi.

"Ahh

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but scream, looking quite anxious. Seeing Wang Zuxian's two "doubtful" looks, Zhao Yazhi smiled a little unnaturally. Quietly glanced at the phone, and felt a little resentful in his heart: "Dead Ah Hao, it's almost eight o'clock and you haven't come, if you don't show up again, I, we won't wait for you!" ”

"Suzuzu~~"

Hodi, a string of crisp doorbells wafted through the hall. (To be continued......)
