"Director Wu..."
"Oh, my own people, just call me Azu."
Wu Xiaozu's friendly face was full of familiar enthusiasm, making Lin Xiaoming, who looked like the Hong Kong version of the egg market, was very cramped.
"The video sales and rental results of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" are very good. Brother Xiao Ming has worked hard and made great contributions. I will use tea instead of wine. I will toast you a cup-"
Xiao Ming smiled bitterly and looked at the teacup in his hand. It was also a buzz cut. The other party was handsome and could play the male lead in idol dramas. He was rated as the most handsome director in Hong Kong by Tiantian Daily. He couldn't sleep all night, and his buzz cut could lose his hair and his hairline kept falling...
"Brother Zu, you called me in the middle of the night..."
"I know you've been so busy that you can't sleep in the past two days, so I specially called you to drink ginseng tea. How is the videotape store set up? With this east wind, the videotape business should be able to go to a higher level, right?" Wu Xiaozu felt that ginseng tea was in his stomach and replenished his vitality.
What does it mean that I can't sleep in the past two days? I haven't had a good sleep...
Lin Xiaoming's face looked a little resentful. Since he was "subjugated" by Cai Zhiming, he has not slept for a day. His wife and he both felt particularly depressed. Before, his wife had been with him, and he always felt that someone was following him.
He had been terrified before.
It’s not that I didn’t think about calling the police, but there are too many desperate people around the other party… Calling the police may not be effective, and it’s not the root cause.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have introduced "Young Master Ye" to Cai Zhiming. Unfortunately, Cai Zhiming was not just here to do things, so it was not easy to coax.
"The videotape market is slow to achieve, but it is not as cost-effective as making movies."
Lin Xiaoming sighed in a low voice, his face feeling tired.
He is personally optimistic about the development of the video tape market, but Cai Zhiming is ambitious. With the ll-level movie craze triggered by "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1", he also focused on independent production - the attractiveness of 30 million is too great. He initially invested more than one million, and the return was more than a few hundred percent!
"The videotape store layout lacks financial support now. Cai Sheng is not very happy to increase investment.
After all, Hong Kong Island has just started, and if you want to completely establish your own channels, you will need at least a few million. This also requires considering the annual increase in store rents.
Although he can also see clearly that the videotape market has great potential, the cultivation market is too slow and cannot be effective in a short period of time."
"The videotape market is developing rapidly in North America. Hong Kong Island should also have great prospects. As for business, you always have to take risks. If you don't pay, where will you get a reward?" Wu Xiaozu deliberately guided it carefully, "Didn't you think about developing Bay Bay and Southeast Asian market?"
"Butterfighter on the Rainy Night", "Birth of a Word" and "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" have received a good response in the market, especially in the third-level movies.
A few actors can attract millions of investments. This kind of business is not comparable to the video tape market. Although the video tape is popular, it is absolutely a dream to say how much profit it suddenly brings.
"It's hard to develop without money, it requires a large amount of film sources..."
Lin Xiaoming saw reality very clearly. When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but lit up. He looked at Wu Xiaozu who was smiling in front of him, and subconsciously blurted out, "Wu Sheng, what do you mean..."
"What do I mean? What do you think I mean?"
Wu Xiaozu calmly served the cup, his eyes calmly, "Boss Lin, I said at the beginning that we have a foundation for cooperation."
The development layout of 1024 Locomotive Film Company is inseparable from overseas distribution networks. The video tape business is an indispensable part of the distribution process.
If it really does what he wants, then Wu Xiaozu will become the largest publisher in Southeast Asia.
It can even support several "video tape production companies" instead of being limited to theater movies.
In later generations, IPCC continued to promote the big cake of carbon dioxide emission rights, and several old empires were also suppressing the development rights of China.
It seems reasonable and well-founded, but for the sake of all mankind, it is not fair at all, and it is even a trap. This injustice is the right to speak created by the West.
The distribution right is actually the "emission right" of the film industry and the development right.
In later generations, the reason why DreamWorks was strangled by the six major groups was that in addition to funding problems and resource suppression, the most important thing was that it did not master the core issuance capabilities from beginning to end.
In this regard, Lionsgate Film has done a good job. Its video tape distribution routine is also a powerful tool that can be used to avoid any disadvantages!
1024 What you need to learn from Locomotive is not the Dream Factory later, but the Lion Gate.
Lin Xiaoming is definitely a talent.
From his previous life, he could see his sensitivity to the market by breaking a path through the videotape market.
"Dingling--"
He reached out and signaled Lin Xiaoming to wait, and Wu Xiaozu picked up Motorola's eldest brother.
"Cai Sheng...good evening."
Wu Xiaozu looked at Lin Xiaoming with a narrow-minded look, smiled at him and continued to talk to the phone.
"No, I just have midnight snack~ You say--"
"Azu, I met several Dashuitu, and they were all very interested in filming. Is it not convenient to meet me?"
In the car, Cai Zhiming hung a unruly expression and said to Wu Xiaozu with a smile, "Tonight, I will promote Paijiu on Aomen Street, and a few friends from the Netherlands will talk about the movie. I will tell them, "Does Wu Xiaozu know it?" That's my good brother. They were shocked and clamored to know you..."
Wu Xiaozu looked at Lin Xiaoming who was restless and said with a smile, "Okay."
"By the way, have you paid attention to the profits of the videotape? One day I will call Ah Ming out and ask him to give the dividends one point."
Cai Zhiming chuckled and leaned on the seat, "Azu, do you have to have time? Why not work together to start working together in several dramas and make money. Everyone has been working together this time in "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1"... I want to continue working together... You guys are also calling you together."
"Time is probably not very convenient." Wu Xiaozu smiled faintly.
"If you say this, I'm so embarrassed in front of my friends..."
Cai Zhiming laughed heartily, "I know you are a busy person, so why not do this. Your little guy lends me to start a show for me, don't you? Don't you want me to be embarrassed in front of my Dutch friends, right?"
"Of course I don't want you to be embarrassed by Cai Sheng. How can we be embarrassed in front of the Dutch? You can talk to me about my silly schedule, but--" Wu Xiaozu's smile instantly brightened.
Lin Xiaoming swallowed.
"What?"
"It's Universal."
There was a silence on the opposite side.
At this time, Cai Zhiming, who was sitting in the car, sat up straight, staring at himself in the reversing mirror, and smiled and said, "Azu, are you so concerned about the videotape business?"
"Is there a long-term view?" Wu Xiaozu also laughed.
He never regarded Cai Zhiming as a fool. Instead of hiding it, it is better to be true or false. Everyone can see the prospects of the videotape market. Wu Xiaozu did not have the aura of wisdom, so it is not easy to fool the other party into the trap.
"Okay, we'll have a meeting."
Cai Zhiming smiled with a slight smile, but his mouth seemed very enthusiastic. When he hung up the phone, his eyes flashed.
"Ponytail, are you profitable about the videotape market?"
"Of course, the video tape is so popular now." The driving ponytail answered without looking back.
"What you know is that Wu Xiaozu's flop is unreasonable and reveals it in a blunt way? Aren't he afraid that I will be afraid? Or is he saying that he has other intentions?" Cai Zhiming said to himself.
"Lll-level movies and video tapes... Is this a failure really so optimistic about video tapes?"
Cai Zhiming fell into deep thought and did not understand why Wu Xiaozu suddenly came straight to the point.
In his opinion, Wu Xiaozu, a man who farted three points, would he tell himself his purpose directly?
"Hello! I care about you!" Cai Zhiming cursed, rolled down the car window, and made it breathable.
…
"Director Wu? Isn't this what you mean, right?"
Lin Xiaoming looked at Wu Xiaozu, who had left his elder brother, as if he was foolish. He suddenly felt that Wu Xiaozu had a whimsical idea. He really wanted to use filming as bargaining chips to exchange for "Huanyu International"?
This is not a fool, it is a test of IQ!
"Boss, the bird's nest you want..." At this time, the guy walked over with two steaming porcelain bowls and placed them on the hardwood table.
"The pigeon bird's nest here is very good. Try it - it also works for the hair!"
Wu Xiaozu held a towel and pinched the cup cover, and a heat surged. Looking at Lin Xiaoming with a look of unclearity, he scooped a spoonful, smelled the mouth, and said vaguely, "Is the video tape very promising?"
"Of course." Lin Xiaoming was sure.
He has been exposed to the video tape market in the United States, so he is very confident in the video tape market. At the same time, he has also gained a deep understanding of the operating model of video tape distribution in Hollywood. Seeing the delicious food of Wu Xiaozu, especially for what he said is effective for his hair, he couldn't help but scoop a spoonful.
"Is it good to eat?"
"On the right time!"
"I'm different, you said, how do you, an amateur, know that the stew pot here is delicious?" Wu Xiaozu scooped the pigeon in an orderly manner and said lightly, "Sometimes, people don't know if something is delicious, so how dare you try it? What do you think?"
Lin Xiaoming paused, savored Wu Xiaozu's words carefully, and slowly chewed out a little bit, but before he could continue thinking, Wu Xiaozu's voice rang again.
"Zhao Kuangyin occupied the Chai family for decades, and he was waiting for the opportunity. Wang Mang was definitely loyal before usurping the throne. Brother Xiao Ming, it's time for you to show your loyalty. The videotape market is so vast, of course you can tell your boss. If the videotape market wants to develop, the film source is very important. How much do you think the film source and TVB of each company and the popular TV series sequels of ATV are worth?"
Wu Xiaozu looked at the shocked Lin Xiaoming with a smile, raised a finger gently, and smiled in his ear, "I think it's worth 100 million!"
"One hundred million?!!" Lin Xiaoming swallowed, then lowered his head and calculated that if 10 million could have sufficient resources, would he make or lose?
It is definitely not worth it in front of you. But if you think about it carefully, it will definitely be a big profit!
The film library is definitely the greatest confidence of the video tape distribution company!
"Do you think Boss Cai is willing to bear money?" Wu Xiaozu's smile was cold.
"What if he really wants to give up?" Lin Xiaoming asked without giving up.
