Chapter 37 The company develops by leaps and bounds

'It's a heartache, if I knew that music albums are so profitable! If you kill Xijun, you won't sell the golden bump of "Home Alone". That's billions of profits! ’

Since it is so profitable, strike while the iron is hot and make persistent efforts! He said to Chen Shufen; 'You go back and prepare for Xiaomei's concert first!' I'll be writing a few songs for both of them in the future. I auditioned the song myself. ’

After sending Chen Shufen away, Li Zhong hurriedly rushed up and said; "Chairman, our newspaper now has nine branches, and has established branches in Taiwan, Singapore, RB, South Korea, Malaysia, Brunei, Laos, the Philippines, and Thailand. Because of the war at the beginning of the year, the application was not approved, and some countries did not agree to our establishment of newspaper branches. However, we have offices in more than 100 countries around the world! Our International News module is firmly established! More than 500,000 newspapers are sold on Hong Kong Island every day. That is, when is the follow-up plan going to be implemented by the boss? ’

After hearing this, Xijun also had to admire Li Zhong's high efficiency, but the cost was also large! It is not enough for the newspaper to invest all its income in the past half year! I also pay a part of the record company's account as a fund! Newspapers are getting bigger and bigger, and so are the newspapers and periodicals. Advertising revenue has increased from HK$3 million to about HK$5 million per month. Combined with the daily turnover and the income from the publication of novels, this is really a lot of money! However, for the future expansion plan of the global entertainment industry, we can only continue to invest! And he commanded; 'Let's prepare a follow-up plan for a color newspaper! In addition, it is necessary to establish branches in Europe and the United States more quickly, especially in Britain and the United States. In some densely populated cities, it is necessary to establish an outreach department first, which is conducive to news gathering. As for the branch management, if you can't find it, you can ask an international headhunter for help, and I think they will select qualified managers for us. I'll go to the newspaper office tomorrow morning to deal with the rest, so you can go back to work first! ’

Send Li Zhong away, and have a simple understanding with Zhou Liang Shuyi, the general manager of Starlight Film Company, and now people in the Hong Kong Island film circle think that Yu Xijun, an entertainment tycoon, looks down on the small waterhole of Hong Kong, and has been making movies in Hollywood, because the US dollars are worth more than Hong Kong dollars! So Hong Kong Island Film Company has been in a state of no filming! Many of the studio's employees are already ready to find another job! Xijun can't help it, he crossed too early, and those familiar superstars in his previous life are still young boys and girls, and they haven't debuted! It makes Xijun feel a headache! Xijun can only make money in Hollywood now, and after their debut, they are making those popular movies in their previous lives, and they are also discussing the next shooting plan of Hong Kong Island Film Company with Zhou Liang Shuyi!

Zhou Liang Shuyi also told Xijun about her thoughts, "Chairman, now the company's personnel can make three crews start filming at the same time, but you have been busy in the United States, which has caused personnel fluctuations, and many people want to change jobs!" It's better to find a script from the outside and start filming! You can also ask the company's screenwriter to write some scripts, otherwise it will be up to you to shoot alone, and the company will really waste manpower and material resources! ’

Xijun thought about it for a while and agreed. Said; 'Well, three million films, you're in charge of it. More than 3 million show me before you decide! ’

'Is the filming of "Happy Ghost 2" and "Fifty First Loves" and Xu Ke's "Butterfly Change" now completed? I've finished making two movies in Hollywood, and I'm waiting for the post-production special effects to be completed, and they can be released after Halloween! ’

Zhou Liang Shuyi looked at the young chairman, took out the cast list of three movies to Xijun, and said; 'It's already been filmed, and "Butterfly Change" has already been painted! The box office was only 1.15 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was released for 7 days. ’

Xi Jun looked at the information of "Butterfly Change", several actors, Zhang Guozhu, Liu Zhaoming, Huang Shutang and so on. I don't know anyone....... I also have some impressions of Michelle! Excluding the cost of making the film and the theater guarantee fee, it lost hundreds of thousands of ....... The movie is on the street on Hong Kong Island, and there is no sales in the foreign market! Fortunately, he has a lot of money and can afford to lose, and at the same time, he understands that a director's style is after failing again and again. To sum up, it is impossible to give him a script to shoot the effect of his previous life!

Xijun thought about it and said to Zhou Liang Shuyi; If the company lacks a director, it is not good, and it is directly advertised in the newspaper. Directors who are interested in directing movies can join Starlight Films. Let's invest and let them help make the movie! This will increase the output of the film and will also get the company people moving. As for the director's remuneration, it is linked to the box office of the movie, and the more you sell, the more points. If you lose money, you won't be paid! Set up your downline and go-live! The lowest is one percent and the highest is fifteen. According to the director's fame, you can solve this by yourself. I just don't have time to manage these things! ’

Zhou Liang Shuyi wanted to persuade the boss's decision, but when she thought of a "Home Alone", she sold 250 million! is equivalent to more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, so I won't be persuaded! The cost of making movies is very low now, and there is no sky-high salary in later generations! The production cost of a movie is about one or two million, and with the boss worth $250 million, he can make more than 500 movies! Can you still lose all your money? Besides, the boss's second movie also sold tens of millions of dollars, which is a miracle!

Xijun's current movies cost $30 million except for "Ghostbusters", and the rest are really small-budget movies! But the box office is a super hit! What Zhou Liang Shuyi didn't know was that the director's remuneration was a product of the mature film market in Xijun's previous life, not only the director had a basic salary, but also a box office dividend in the later stage. Even the stars also joined the box office dividends in the later stage of the movie! The first to create a late box office dividend was Hollywood superstar Tom. Cruise! Because of the limited production cost of the film, he lowered his salary to star and added a later box office share to the contract! Unexpectedly, the movie was a big hit, and the box office share was several times that of the original personal salary! This gives a taste of the sweetness of Tom. Cruise, constantly increasing his box office dividends. It also opens the way for Hollywood actors to participate in the later sharing of the movie box office!

What Xi Jun didn't know was that he created this director to share box office dividends in the later stage of the movie, which made Hong Kong directors flock to him! It has almost all the film directors on Hong Kong Island! This made Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest grit their teeth ruthlessly! There are constantly directors who run to Starlight Film Company to make movies! In addition, Xijun has a strong network in Hollywood, so that many ambitious directors continue to join Starlight Film Company. I just want to use the channel of Starlight Film Company to become famous internationally!
