Chapter 19: The Music Company Sets Sail

You must know that at this time, movies are restricted by theaters, and there are no theaters to play them, and it is useless to shoot movies. There is no Hollywood antitrust law in Hong Kong! At this time, independent film companies basically had no way to live. A good schedule is allocated by the theater's own film company, plus a guarantee fee, post-production sharing and shooting costs! You can imagine how much box office it would take to make a profit! At this time, a movie ticket is more than seven Hong Kong dollars! If the production cost of the film is too high, you can only rely on the overseas box office to recover the cost, and if there is no distribution channel, it is a dead end!

So Xi Jun was very happy to take advantage of Uncle Shao's loophole! The two made a deal and parted ways after having lunch!

Xijun came to the company and asked Mr. Lin to prepare two contracts, one acquisition contract and one film release contract. It's really at this time, the theater chain is unreasonable, and Run Run Shaw is famous! In 1978, Xu Guanwen's movie "Deed of Sale" was released to satirize Shaw Brothers movies and wireless, not to mention the squeezing of labor, the salary is not high, and there is a sign of the overlord clause! Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua are also famous! Otherwise, the Shaw Brothers movie really won't collapse! The eldest brother Sammo Hung had an unpleasant quarrel with Golden Harvest because of the later dividends, and he made a movie that was obviously a big hit, so he went to the company to ask for dividends. actually said no, and finally fought with finance, so he had to leave Golden Harvest and set up another portal to establish Debao Cinemas! At this time, it is a common phenomenon to make false accounts.

Leave professional affairs to professionals, and let lawyers draw up contracts, which is much better than yourself! In order to prevent the other party from cheating, it was really hard work, and the two of them racked their brains for an afternoon to get it done!

After leaving the company, I rushed to wireless and entered the TVB building. Find Run Run Shaw and sign a contract! Hurried to the Huaxing Record Station! Looking at the back of Xi Jun leaving, Fang Yihua asked while helping Run Run Shaw pinch his shoulder; 'Why don't you participate in the later dividends, as long as the guarantee fee can make how much?' Isn't it too cheap for this kid? Shao Lao Liu shook his head and said; 'A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he may not be simple in newspapers and music, but the movie is a layman. I've been doing this all my life, and I've ended up being put on the hook by that traitor! was also pressed by him. How much do you think this kid can do? Fang Yihua thought about it and was relieved.

When Xijun came to Huaxing Records, the first thing he did was to have a meeting. called a few people to the office and said to Chen Shufen; "From now on, you're the general manager of Starlight Records, and you can handle the personnel changes yourself, and I won't ask you how you manage the company." With Chen Shufen's ability, letting her do it is more reasonable than controlling it herself. There may be some surprises!

However, with the foresight of her previous life, she still asked her to sign Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. Leslie Cheung is still an eighteenth-tier star, and it's easy to get it, Anita Mui really doesn't know where to sing in that bar! can only let Chen Shufen solve it by herself. It's really a word from the boss, tired employees run and break their legs!

After looking at the time, I hurried to Hong Kong Commercial Radio in a car, I was really tired! I knew that I was so tired, and I wouldn't have been interviewed twice on the same day if I killed him! However, for the sake of the newly opened Starlight Records, he had to rush to Hong Kong Commercial Radio. Taking advantage of the interview to make a name for yourself can save you a lot of trouble.

Hong Kong Commercial Radio, in 1956 Hong Kong gentry He Dong died, and his descendant He Zuo inherited an inheritance of 50,000 yuan, which was the initial capital of the station. On August 26, 1959, Commercial Taiwan was officially opened, and its headquarters was located in Lai Chi Kok at that time. It is now called Mei Foo Sun Chuen. It was relocated to Broadcasting Road in Kowloon Tong in 1979. It's still in Lychee Kok, so you need to drive from the broadcast road!

At this time, there were three radio channels, and Thunder 881 Commercial One was the radio station with the largest number of listeners in Hong Kong, mainly broadcasting information, current affairs and entertainment programs. The audience is a mature general public, providing comprehensive and fast news, financial, weather and traffic news on a daily basis.

903 Commercial Channel 2, a music-based youth channel. The programme route is relaxed, lively, entertaining and creative.

Open-minded am864 Commercial English Channel, an English-language radio channel, focuses on carefully selected international pop music, providing listeners with a choice of local songs beyond local songs. The outspoken Commercial Station has always been popular with Hong Kong citizens.

Xijun promised the radio interview for a purpose, and he planned to take a stake in the radio station. If you don't participate in management, you will only be transformed later. Radio can complement Xijun's Starlight newspaper, record label and film company. The mature entertainment market in his previous life taught Xi Jun the importance of publicity, a Hollywood film cost $30 million to produce, and his post-publicity expenses may need $45 million. Otherwise, no matter how good the movie is, it won't be a big hit. Every step of Xijun is steady and steady to prepare for the movie!

Xijun sat next to Yao Jiahao, the second commercial station of AM903, and introduced himself briefly. Then the two of them farted and blew water on each other to come to the audience question session.

I invited the first lucky viewer to call, 'Hello, my name is Ding Junfei, a resident of Lamma Island, I listened to Mr. Yu's "Walking on the Road of Life" and liked it. However, I am already middle-aged, old and young, and the pressure of life has made me enjoy listening to music. I just want to ask when Mr. Yu will release the album? ’

"Mr. Ding, hello, I'm Yu Xijun, I listened to you. I appreciate your enjoyment, first of all, I'm busy, so I don't have time to release an album. The second point is that this song has been sold to Teresa Teng for a symbolic one Hong Kong dollar! So I'm sorry to tell you the news here, but letting the big beauty Teresa Teng sing should be more attractive than me singing! ’

Hearing the laughter from the other side, Xijun continued; 'Listening to the pressure of your life, I feel the same way. Here I have a song for all the listeners and friends who are struggling, don't lose hope in life. I hope you enjoy it. ’’

The radio host was blinded, and the tuner outside was also blindfolded, and I didn't prepare in advance! He Zuo, the person in charge of the radio station, came directly from the office to the mixing room and commanded; Try to follow his rhythm and improvise. The tuner had no choice but to bite the bullet!

If you have deceived you about life, do not be sad, do not be anxious! Melancholy days need to be calm, believe it, happy days will come! This song "Climbing" is given to everyone, I hope you like it......

Sometimes I ask myself

What the hell is it for?

What is a win?

Have you ever asked yourself

...... OA oh love oh love ......

At this moment, the radio listeners soared, and this inspirational divine comedy from the previous life bloomed in its own glory at this time. Almost all Hong Kong Islanders love this song. Before I finished singing, a bunch of phone calls came in, some wanted to release an album, some wanted Xijun to hold a concert, and so on. There are also some brainless fans who want to kiss Xijun...... It's crazy.

The radio staff was blinded, I didn't expect this interview to be so popular! Consider whether to interview a few more times, but when you think about the identity of the other party, forget it.

After the end, Xijun came directly to the conference room with He Zuo. Straight to the point, you want to take a stake in the radio station. He Zuo considered that the other party was the owner of a newspaper and a record company, so he agreed, and with the help of these high-quality resources, He Zuo was confident that he could better improve the radio listening rate.

Xijun was also happy and got 50% of the shares of Hong Kong Commercial Radio for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. His entertainment empire has expanded one more point!

After the end, he rushed to Guan Zhilin's house non-stop, picked up the beauty and went to the Taiping Theater. Promise her a candlelit dinner after watching the movie. Xijun can also be regarded as shooting himself in the foot. The last romantic date captured the heart of the beautiful woman and became obsessed with this tune. Always going on another romantic date!

When I came to the door of the beauty, I saw the pink beauty looking left and right from time to time. Looking forward to it, Xijun's heart melted! Quickly opened the car door and hugged the beautiful woman for a long French kiss.

The two of them, panting, looked at each other and smiled. Everything is silent, and silence is better than sound at this time.

When I arrived at the cinema after a while, I originally wanted to buy "Deed of Sale" by Xu Guanwen, a cold-faced smiler, but unfortunately I had to buy two copies of "Wild Goose Death Squad". Xijun had never heard of a movie in his previous life......

Xijun didn't know that this movie was in 1978, that is, the fourth place in this year's annual box office list, winning more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. It's also a good box office gain.
