Chapter 122: Johnny's Request [Asking for Recommendation]

As the aftermath passed, the distribution figures for Daily Headlines eventually fell from 1.5 million to a stable 960,000 copies.

It didn't break a million sales, but there was no gap between it and those giant-level newspaper companies.

It took just over two months to leap from a relatively influential newspaper in the West to one of the top five newspaper giants in the United States.

What is a legend?

That's legend!

Countless newspapers were amazed, but they also began to face up to the "Daily Headlines" that had been snatched from the newspaper giants.

The Wall Street Journal has dedicated its own front page to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the crude and direct drainage marketing methods in this war.

It is rumored that this issue of the newspaper has directly increased the sales of 100,000 among middle-class families who have delivered to their homes, and the supply exceeds the demand.

At the same time, a number of well-known universities announced that they would include this classic marketing case in the selection of professional textbooks such as economics and management.

Some newspapers are not idle, inviting professionals to analyze the characteristics of the headline newspaper, and to analyze the content, editing, typesetting, graphics, topic selection and other aspects.

In the end, we came to the point that this kind of illustrated, fast-paced and interesting newspaper was in line with the entertainment mentality of many people in the post-war era.

As for the color printing, too!

It is difficult for small and medium-sized newspapers to have a strong capital chain supply, and the price level cannot be compared, and there is no first-mover advantage.

Large newspaper companies do not dare to easily give up their users who have accumulated their savings for many years, and it is easy to take too many steps, and no manager has the courage to give up his career and take risks.

At the user level, watching advertisements on TV every day, many readers, including some passers-by, are also very interested in the behind-the-scenes controller behind "Daily Headlines".

Chen Jun's identity is not difficult to check for those who have a heart.

However, almost all large newspapers have chosen to remain silent, while small newspapers have not been able to reach that level if they want to investigate, and only a few medium-sized newspapers want to take revenge.

It doesn't matter if you don't check, it's scary to death.

That night, the managers of three medium-sized newspapers each received three yellow bullets wrapped in envelopes.

At the same time, all the printing stations where the newspapers were being printed were burned.

This is a greeting from the Corleone family.

In the end, it all ended in stone!

Johnny Fontan, who had returned to Los Angeles from New York, told Chen Jun that after two months in the Corleone family, his mental outlook was much better.

"I also want to thank you, if it weren't for your approach, it might have been difficult for me to get the role I wanted."

Big star Johnny Fontan's attitude was quite enthusiastic, "What have you been busy with lately?" I admire you for being able to make such an impact in such a short period of time. ”

"Nothing."

Chen Jun was a little confused: "Recently, we have acquired some small and medium-sized newspapers and formulated an assessment system. ”

During this period, the most important thing is to tap the professional talents of the major newspapers, fill in the structure of the newspapers, and incorporate the newspapers into the newly established media companies.

As for the shares of the original president Adams, he was given a reasonable amount of money to replace them, and all the shares were in his hands.

"You started a media company? Oh..... So what do you think of the movie, and are you interested? ”

Chen Jun shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know much about it, I don't know much about the operation mode here?" ”

"What's wrong? Do you seem to have something on your mind? ”

"Let's just say it, the godfather plans to get involved in the film industry, set up a special production company, let you control it, and I will be responsible for assisting you."

"Actually, I don't understand either." Johnny shrugged, "Maybe my talent is just in singing, acting, and a woman's belly." ”

"But you came to me anyway, and I can see that you don't want to give up this opportunity!"

Chen Jun sat in an office chair with his fingers crossed.

Originally, the godfather's film industry was dominated by Johnny, but now he is in control, with Johnny assisting.

Johnny Fang Tan frowned, suddenly clenched his fists and relaxed: "My voice is bad, I can't be a singer, I could have won the role of the Oscar this time, but I was targeted by Waltz for public relations, and I was worried about the future of the performance." ”

"I don't want to go on like this, I want to be a person who can call the wind and rain, a powerful person!"

"There's no reason why a fool like Waltz can be a movie mogul, but I can't." There was a glint in his eyes.

"Hmm!"

He replied in his customary non-semantic manner.

The layout of the new industry is the task that the godfather took the initiative to give him, but now the Corleone family is fighting with the other five families in New York, and the unknown surname of the plot makes him unable to figure out how to go.

Johnny interrupted his train of thought, "What do you think?" ”

"I don't know, out of prudence, this has to be investigated and familiarized, and I can only give you an answer after getting feedback, whether to get involved in a new industry!"

He really doesn't know how the movies of this period work, whether they are the kind of later generations, and even the movies at this time he has seen a classic "Gone with the Wind"

Johnny was obviously a little disappointed, but regained his mood, "Anyway, in Los Angeles, why don't you go to Billside Hills, there's a drinking party over there tonight, I know a lot of filmmakers, and I can talk to each other." ”

These days, Chen Jun often attends various parties and negotiates a lot of advertising docking business.

This model is very popular in Los Angeles, where business is discussed and parties are thrown at the same time.

Cinema is part of the media, and he is also a little interested in it.

After two weeks of various Hollywood experiences, Chen Jun and Johnny also became acquainted with each other, and even went to his family for a visit two days ago.

His divorced ex-wife is very beautiful, and she is also a Hollywood actress, but she chose to divorce because she couldn't stand Johnny Fontan's troubles.

They gave birth to two angelic daughters with strong genes.

Often in traditional skirts, with patent leather shoes on his feet, and pushing a breakfast cart, as soon as he saw his father, he would jump up, spread his arms, and run towards Johnny.

This kind of picture makes Chen Jun very envious, and in his heart, Johnny is not a good husband, but a good father.

But he only stayed there for one night, and at night he heard a crackling quarrel, and the next day Johnny ran away in a rage, and he didn't stay long.

"Where to go?"

"Marks & Spencer Club in Hollywood, there's a big cocktail party there on Friday night."

"What kind of thing again?"

"Then what do you think, Hollywood is basically like this, either hunting others or being hunted by others, I'm used to it, and I never get tired of it."

"Rest assured, this is a high-profile company attended by top filmmakers, movie stars, and executives!"

"Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Mae West, Lana Turner, and Joan Crawford."

"I don't know any of them!" Chen Jun shook his head.

"Okay, you have a high vision, so let's talk about it seriously."

Johnny drove Chen Jun to Beverly Hills, where he entered a splendid manor house that looked like a European-style palace.

"They're all PR consultants for film companies, and they're responsible for taking in men and women who are eager to move up the ladder, and they're also responsible for fixing customer needs and problems."

He introduced the model here to Chen Junyi one by one, and at the same time secretly introduced the female stars who were popular in the United States during this period.

Pretty is pretty, but he hasn't heard of any of them.

"See?" Johnny coughed slightly, "That's Howard. Hughes, a playboy and a top rich, is a small character in front of him as the old ghost of Waltz. ”

This Chen Jun has heard of it, a very awesome character, who has been a director, made movies, and designed airplanes, and has set many flight records, which is said to be the prototype of Iron Man.

However, Chen Jun looked at the group of women around him, and he had no desire to deal with them.

He walked to the corner, took a glass of red wine at random, and suddenly glanced at it, pointed to the woman in front of him, and asked, "Who is she?" ”

"Vivien Leigh!"
