Saigon.

The short, stout young and Dangerous boy with a hostile face was wearing a gray striped suit, with his chest exposed, and a gold necklace with the thickness of a thumb. He put his feet on his feet and squatted at the stern of the boat. leave.

"Who are you?"

"Holland boy—" Market Wei with a bitter melon face replied with a smile, "It's a big deal. Rich, powerful, and powerful!"

"Hold that star! Let me blow the sea breeze at night! If it wasn't for the sake of not losing face, the ghost would wear this suit! Ah Xie—"

The short and stout young and Dangerous boy spit, tightened his suit, took the cotton coat on the ground and put it on his body, and smashed a cigarette butt at the student-looking horse beside him who looked a bit like Gu Tianle, "Xi Mihua , You idiot! Why don’t you hurry up! Waiting for someone to treat you to supper?”

"Okay, Brother Ju!" The low-profile version of Gu Tianle hurriedly ran to order the boat to sail.

"Damn you, it's true that the water on Hong Kong Island is too muddy. Brother Wei, accompany me to play Mo Luobing for the past two days. The gambling kings on the Haojiang River even let out the wind to attack Junket Operator. It doesn't make sense on Hong Kong Island." This group of people can eat meat, but we can only drink sea breeze!"

Brother Short Zhuangju cursed and said, "The last time I came here, I got off to a bad start. Don't come to Hong Kong Island from now on!"

"Boss, you can start a film company! Na--lll movies have a box office of 3000 million!" Xi Mi Hua enviously agreed.

"Fuck off, fuck off your old mother!" Brother Short Zhuangju said indignantly, "I will get rich in the future, so I insist on getting someone to make a film of my character and pass it on to you guys!"

Suddenly, several speedboats left.

at the beach.

Two black cars left one after the other.

"Amin, I heard that the lll-rated movie you invested in is very popular?"

The man with a small beard and a black suit and black shirt smiled and teased Cai Zhiming next to him, "Everyone around me told me that this movie sold 3000 million at the local box office alone, and the recent video tape is also very popular! No wonder You guys threw hundreds of thousands of dollars on the poker table from the very beginning! Got rich??"

"Brother Yong, don't embarrass me."

Cai Zhiming helped the other party light a cigarette with a smile, and said, "I didn't even make much money from this movie. Others took the big money. I just drank the soup! I spent several million at the box office to support myself.

There is a lot of investment in the early stage of the video tape, which seems to be very prosperous, but the income is really mediocre... It is far worse than the opening of the film, which is fast and stable. "

"Then you can find people to start a show." The elegant man with a mustache smiled and said, "Now you just need to find a few celebrities who have box office, and you will naturally make money."

"what?"

Cai Zhiming turned around in a daze, and smiled at the man with ponytail in the front row, "Ponytail, what Brother Yong said is quite reasonable! Would you like to tell me sooner?"

"Boss, I'm stupid." Ponytail driving replied with a smile.

"It's not stupid, it's crazy!"

Cai Zhiming cursed with a smile, turned his head and said to Mustache, "Brother Yong, I will take advantage of you in the matter of Junket Operator. If you start a film company, I will start a movie, and I will give you 10%!"

"Send me money so generously?"

"We're all on our own... By the way, Mawei, tell Xiao Ming that the video tape market has increased its publicity. We invested a lot to earn so much..." Cai Zhiming smiled ostentatiously.

"It's better to call Wu Xiaozu, his brother is the one who made "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1"." Ma Wei suggested.

"Okay! Just call him!" Cai Zhiming smiled narrowly, "Let Director Wu contribute."

...

Mongkok is still prosperous in the early morning, because the rent pressure is too high, and the shops here are open 24 hours a day.

Rong Hengxiang audio-visual record store.

"Boss, do you have "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" rented?"

A middle-aged man dressed as a polite intellectual carried a briefcase, moved to the counter with a slightly nervous expression, and lowered his voice to ask the busy boss.

"Brother, these are all rented "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1", don't be careful."

The boss swipe to the side without raising his head. There is a long line of cashiers next to him. Most of them are elites in suits and leather shoes. Among them are students in school uniforms. Everyone is holding video tapes. Staring at him anxiously, the middle-aged man blushed. He hurriedly went to get a video tape, lowered his head and followed the queue to pay.

The box office of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" is very high, and many people have watched it more than once, otherwise the box office of the movie would not be so high.

But there is always a time when a movie is released. What if there is a short stirrup on the lower stick and the stirrup becomes too hard... What should I do?

Always have a fun science guide.

Just at this time, the videotape of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" instantly solved the distress of many men like Indian oil.

No matter when, no matter where, I know your difficulties, "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" will help your right hand muscles...

At this time, the video tape market began to heat up.

There are three types of rental customers: first, singles and old widowers for many years; second, intellectuals, senior white-collars and other people with above-average income; and third, the underage student party.

Compared with the super high price of video tapes, rental is obviously more popular.

The appearance of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" stimulated the entire video tape rental market and the video hall market.

In just one week, the sales and rental of genuine VHS video tapes in Hong Kong exceeded 5 people.

Many record stores, audio-visual products stores are soaring.

Huanyu International itself has cooperated with 80% of the audio-visual product stores in several major regions in Hong Kong.Control the entire distribution channel.

In the previous life, companies such as Meiya, Huanyu, and Huanya first took the road of entertainment distribution, which is also the foundation of their career.

In this life, Huanyu International entered here ahead of schedule.

It's just that Cai Zhiming can't understand the things here alone.

In the previous life, Huanyu was not the first entertainment distribution company to enter the video tape market.It is indeed a very successful one.Its distribution of videotapes really makes it a real predator in the distribution market!
In the 80s, LD laser discs were popular in the market, and the price was extremely expensive!It is not a product that ordinary consumer groups can consume at all.The style is similar to VCD and DVD discs of later generations, but the size is similar to vinyl, and the price is more expensive than vinyl.Video tapes are also produced by Panasonic and Sony, and they are expensive.

At this time, the entire video tape market was in the pattern of Western films.There are very few Hong Kong-produced films, or the resources are exhausted.This is also the reason for restricting Hong Kong film videotapes.At the same time, the high price of video tape players is also one of the reasons.

At this time, not to mention the video halls on Hong Kong Island, it is basically the world of young and Dangerous boys, and the powerful young and Dangerous boys basically have the final say on what movies to show, so there are no rules to talk about?

Moreover, theater resources on Hong Kong Island are sufficient, ticket prices are low enough, and video halls have not been developed.

It's not like the mainland at that time.

In the 80s and 90s, resources were scarce in the mainland market, and video halls, billiard halls, and video game halls were listed as the "troika" that parents at the time turned pale.

For example, Internet cafes around 2000 were regarded as scourges by countless family members.This kind of taboo and fear is unimaginable for many current student parties.

The deeds of Thunder Dharma King Yang Yongxin are probably feared by many people born in the 80s and 90s.

The entry of Hong Kong Island movies into the mainland is actually the entry of the video tape era!
At that time, many coastal areas, Kyoto, Magic City and other places first asked people to buy original video tapes from Hong Kong Island, but generally the bosses were reluctant to play them (the tapes have a screening life), so they could only transcribe and play them.

In the era of mainland video halls, gunfight movies are the mainstream.

But it's LLL-rated movies that really make the boss money.

Ordinary video halls will only show LLL-level movies for some adults at night, and better video halls usually have a side room. You only need to pay another fee, and you can go through the thick curtain to explore the mystery inside.

At that time, the owner of the video hall would use Liushen as an air freshener at the end of the show. There was no way, the smell of raw seafood in the room was unbearable to anyone else.

In the previous life, Director Wu, as a teacher, once shared "*******" as a niche road trip film with many literary and artistic young women.

The rare youthful restlessness, sunshine, beach, sea waves, cacti, horse herders, rock music, and the refreshing Mr. Li showing a charming body and hippie-like life attitude at the age of nearly 30, is simply the originator of Chinese road movies. No. 1!

Even if this movie is watched in 2019, it is still an inspirational chicken soup movie that cleanses the soul and body, and it is as inspirational as a book called "My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker". (〃'▽'〃)!

Resignation, traveling, poor travel, going to XZ, being yourself, trying, yearning for freedom, independence, there are not many elements that should be there. This is the true portrayal and pursuit of those petty young girls nowadays ╮(╯▽╰)╭ ...

The power of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" is not only an LLL-level movie, but also a re-cognition and subversion of traditional Chinese gender concepts and historical values.Interpreting history from a female perspective is definitely a brand new way of film interpretation.

This kind of subversion has advanced the trend around 93 by 5 years, and it is definitely more shocking than the previous life! ! !

at this time.

All the video halls in Hong Kong are filled with the smell of raw seafood. Most of the people who go to the video halls are students, each of them is full of blood and contains the energy of hundreds of millions of tadpoles...

Even in a video hall in the New Territories, there was a loop playing, and the video playback machine almost exploded.

Ahem... It can be seen that the people love "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1".

Looking back and thinking about it, the status of Lll-level movies with exquisite plots will never be replaced by simple and rough adult romance movies!
Ok……

At this time, local films were not made into videotapes on a large scale, and there were not even TV dramas. Most of them were Western films.

In fact, emerging distribution companies such as Meiya, Universal, and Media Asia began to pay attention to the video tape market, which contributed to the boom of video tapes in the mainland in the 90s!

Today, the price of a box of video tapes is around 200-300.

Limiting the popularity of video tapes.

However, compared with theaters and TV sets, the biggest advantage of videotapes is that you can choose what to watch.

If possible, in the audio-visual store, there can be a large number of movies and TV series resources on the shelves, allowing customers to choose.This option is a very attractive advantage.

This right to choose is especially important!

In fact, this point already has the meaning of Internet thinking in later generations.

In later generations, few Chinese-speaking researchers have studied the film and video tape market in Hong Kong Island. Why?
chaos!
Piracy is inevitable in a place like the United States, which places great emphasis on genuine video tapes, let alone Hong Kong Island?
However, the piracy on Hong Kong Island is indeed much smaller than that in the Mainland.This is actually the inevitable path of economic development.

In later generations, in addition to novels, copyright awareness of movies and music on the Internet in the Mainland has begun to go on the right track.

In the previous life, around 1996-2003, on Hong Kong Island, the number of videotapes, VCDs, DVDs, genuine and pirated sales, and rental results of a big-selling movie was about 80. After 1994, the population of Hong Kong Island grew to more than 600 million.

In 1988, the total population of Hong Kong Island was about 560 million.The population density per square kilometer reached a staggering 5684 people.

This is definitely a very large market.

This is just the local area. Southeast Asia, Wanwan, Korea, Dongying and even Europe are all vast markets for video tapes.

At this time, in Kowloon Walled City, Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at Xiao Ming, who was nervous and wearing small glasses.
