Chapter 450 Comic Overlord
Back in Hong Kong, Cheng Xiaodong started the production period without stopping, while Qiao Feng contacted Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, two of Huihuang and the other two sages who had worked together for more than 20 years, took the theme song arrangement and soundtrack of the ancient and modern wars of the Qin Warriors.
"After singing this song, you can still win a golden song award this year." Qiao Feng said to Ye Qianwen, so Ye Qianwen was only entangled with Qiao Feng for a day and then he went into the nervous recording. Then Ye Qianwen's agent and the person in charge of Huaxing Records immediately began to collect songs for Ye Qianwen, preparing to add a few songs that have been there before releasing an album.
"The Flying Dragon and Raptors won 35.6 million box office, the Eight-Star Newspaper won 39 million box office, and the Gambling Saint broke the local box office record created by the Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers last year with a box office of 47 million box office. "On this day, Qiao Feng went to the theater to check out the recent schedule, and Li Zhi sorted out the box office sales in the Spring Festival period and reported in detail.
Li Zhi has reported all these box office situations, but they are all reported separately. Although Qiao Feng generally remembers them clearly, this summary report still allows Qiao Feng to understand the box office situation of the Spring Festival more intuitively. Qiao Feng is very satisfied with Li Zhi's work ability and attitude as an assistant and theater manager.
"What are the main releases recently?" Qiao Feng asked after listening to the report.
"There are monogamous and husbands produced by Jiahe and starring Ms. Zhong, Bawanghua, Weihe and Cheng Long's co-produced by Bawanghua, and Tiger released by Xinyi City. These three movies are the three highest-scheduled movies in our theaters recently. "Li Zhi answered it directly without thinking about it, and these have been remembered in his mind for a long time.
"Oh." Qiao Feng nodded. Except for the one-wife and husband Qiao Feng who had never watched these three films, Qiao Feng had watched the other two films. He knew that both of them were pretty good, especially the Tiger updates, and the box office results should be very good. Qiao Feng was very satisfied with this, which means that the theaters have good films continuously, and the theaters naturally make the more money they make.
"Is there any new progress on Huang Yulang?" Qiao Feng asked again.
"No, he rejected the acquisition of Zheng Jinghan and Hu Xian of Xingdao Group, and the same is true for ours." Lizhi shook his head and said.
"Okay, it seems that this guy really has to stand up." Qiao Feng shook his head and chuckled without comment.
Zheng Jinghan is the boss of Paramount Group. He also took the lead in introducing the Chinese version of Playboy, making Playboy a high-end taste magazine in the Chinese publishing industry. He also founded "New Modern Pictorial", which is the earliest comprehensive fashion magazine in China and the first "Made in China" to enter China International Airport and five-star hotels. "New Modern Pictorial" has been the focus of social elites since its inception. Zheng Jinghan is a great master in the publishing industry.
Not to mention Sing Tao Daily, one of the three largest newspapers in Hong Kong, the boss Hu Xian was even called the "Queen of the Newspaper Industry", which shows its status.
Zheng Jinghan, Hu Xian, including Qiao Feng, the three companies bid to acquire Huang Yulang International, a listed company that bought Huang Yulang. The three companies competed with each other and the price would definitely not lose to Huang Yulang, but Huang Yulang was still unwilling to sell it. It can be seen that this person is determined to stick to his comics.
It is a good thing to persevere, but in order to persevere, some of them are brain-related.
Qiao Feng knew that Huang Yulang was such a person.
Huang Yulang's life can be said to be a legend. He went to Hong Kong at the age of 7, dropped out of school at the age of 13, helped others draw comics, and published a comic called "Son of Superman" under the pseudonym of "Huang Yulang", which initially showed his talent, with a monthly salary of 140 to 200 Hong Kong dollars, but the good times did not last long, and soon he lost his job due to the slump of the comics industry.
In 1964, when Qiao Feng was just two years old, Huang Yulang had started his first business after he was unemployed. He borrowed 1,000 yuan from his father to start a comics club, started his own "publishing business", and published a weekly magazine called "Joker World". He painted, edited and printed by himself, and his collaborator was his brother. Without the publishing house, he and his brother walked around the streets and alleys, and sent "Joker World" to the sales station. However, the release of "Joker World" did not improve at all. After only 5 issues were published, he failed and even lost all the money he used to start a business.
Huang Yulang was not discouraged when he failed his first business venture. On the contrary, Huang Yulang believed that "the biggest gain of "Joker World" made me very familiar with the streets of Hong Kong and Kowloon District because I was going to deliver the goods myself." It seemed that this was beneficial to him. A year later, he was eager to try it out and jointly published the Entertainment Comics Daily with others for three months. Unfortunately, the lifespan of this newspaper was only three months. Due to poor sales and insufficient income, it was stopped after three months.
Huang Yulang failed his second business venture again. Because his savings were exhausted, he had to work for others. At that time, Cui Wei from the Hong Kong comics industry was eager to recruit comic talents, so he went to take the exam. In Cui Wei Group, he created 40 or 50 stories a month, with 210 paintings each, with a salary plus manuscript fee, and his income was good. However, Huang Yulang was not satisfied with the current situation and had only been stable for more than a year. He cooperated with the painter He Ke and published his own comic daily. He started his third business.
This time he succeeded, but his success was very short-lived. Due to the lack of shoddy manuscripts and political reasons, everyone in Hong Kong was in a turmoil and their consumption power was reduced. As TVB started broadcasting, people's attention was focused on TV, which had a great impact on comic books and newspapers. Huang Yulang failed again.
In 1969, Hong Kong's economy began to take off, citizens' consumption power increased, and the comics market also showed vitality. Huang Yulang, who was hit hard, gave up the idea of changing careers and decided to stick to it to the end.
At the end of 1971, an elderly friend who runs a bookstore attracted Huang Yulang's concentration on the comics industry and his tenacious style. He cooperated to establish Yulang Book Company, which specializes in publishing various comics publications. After three years of hard work, Yulang's publications' sales ranked first in the Hong Kong market, overwhelming the "domineering" Japanese books.
Later, Huang Yulang, who made a lot of money with the little hooligan, the Dragon and Tiger Sect, began to expand his comics career. On June 27, 1979, Yulang International Co., Ltd. was officially established and began to recruit soldiers and fight, trying to break the entire Hong Kong comics market. In 1981, he reached an agreement with Shangguan Xiaobao to classify his "Bruce Lee" into "Yulang". From then on, the country was officially unified, and all comics were produced by Yulang comics.
