My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 430: People Are Insufficient
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Director Wu..."

"Hey, my own people, just call me Azu."

Wu Xiaozu's friendly face was full of familiarity and enthusiasm, which made Lin Xiaoming, who looked like a Hong Kong version of egg boss, very cramped.

"The videotape sales and rentals of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" are very good. Brother Xiaoming has worked hard. Instead of wine, I would like to offer you a toast—"

Xiao Ming looked at the teacup in his hand with a wry smile. He also had an inch-cut head. He was so handsome that he could play the leading role in an idol drama. He was named the most handsome director in Hong Kong by "Daily Daily." Can lose hair, hairline keeps sinking...

"Brother Zu, you called me in the middle of the night...?"

"I know you've been too busy to sleep for the past two days, so I specially called you to drink ginseng tea. How about the establishment of the videotape franchise store? With this shareholder style, the videotape business should be able to go up a level, right?" Wu Xiaozu feels that ginseng tea is in Stomach, make up your vitality.

Why can't I sleep for the last two days?I haven't had a good night's sleep...

Lin Xiaoming's face was slightly resentful, since he was "surrendered" by Cai Zhiming, he has not had a good night's sleep.The wife and he felt particularly depressed.Before, his wife had been with him, always feeling that someone was following him.

He had always been terrified.

It's not that he didn't think about calling the police, but there are too many desperadoes around the other party... Calling the police may not be effective, and the symptoms are not the root cause.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have introduced 'Ye Gongzi' to Cai Zhiming.It's a pity that Cai Zhiming is not new to work, so he is not easy to coax.

"The videotape market is slow to take effect, but it is not as cost-effective as making movies."

Lin Xiaoming sighed in a low voice, his face tired.

He is personally very optimistic about the development of the video tape market, but Cai Zhiming is ambitious. With the frenzy of LLL-level movies triggered by "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1", he is also focusing on independent productions-3000 million is too attractive .He invested more than 100 million at the beginning, and the return exceeded several hundred percent!

"There is a lack of financial support for the laying of videotape stores. Cai Sheng is not too willing to increase investment.

After all, Hong Kong Island has just started. If you want to completely establish your own channels, you need at least a few million.This also takes into account the annual increase in shop rents.

Although he can clearly see that the video tape market has great potential, but the cultivation of the market is too slow, and it will not be effective in a short time. "

"The video tape market is developing rapidly in North America. Hong Kong Island should also have a bright future. In business, you always have to take risks. If you don't pay, how can you get rewards?" Wu Xiaozu deliberately followed good guidance, "You never thought about developing Wanwan, the Southeast Asian market?"

"Rainy Night Butcher", "The Birth of a Prefix", and "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" have received good response in the market, especially the tertiary films.

A few actors can attract millions of dollars in investment. This kind of business is not comparable to the video tape market.Despite the popularity of the video tape, it is absolutely impossible to say how much profit it will suddenly bring.

"It is difficult to develop without money, which requires a lot of film sources..."

Lin Xiaoming saw the reality very clearly. Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up. Looking at Wu Xiaozu who was smiling in front of him, he subconsciously blurted out, "Wu Sheng, what do you mean...?"

"I mean? What do you think I mean?"

Wu Xiaozu served the cup in a calm manner, with a calm gaze, "Boss Lin, as I said at the beginning, we have a basis for cooperation."

The development layout of 1024 Locomotive Film Company is inseparable from the overseas distribution network.The videotape business is an integral part of the distribution chain.

If his wishes really come true, then Wu Xiaozu will become the largest distributor in Southeast Asia.

It is even possible to support several 'video tape production companies' instead of being limited to theater films.

In later generations, the IPCC continued to promote the big cake of carbon dioxide emission rights, and several old empires were restraining China's development rights.

It seems reasonable and well-founded, for the sake of all mankind, but it is not fair at all, and it is even a trap at all.This unfairness is the right to speak created by the West.

The distribution right is actually the "discharge right" of the film industry, and it is also the right to development.

In later generations, the reason why DreamWorks was strangled by the Big Six was that apart from funding problems and resource suppression, the most important reason was that it had not mastered the core distribution capabilities from the beginning to the end.

In this regard, Lionsgate has done a good job, and its videotape distribution routine is also an invincible weapon at this time!
What the 1024 locomotive has to learn is not the later DreamWorks, but Lions Gate.

Lin Xiaoming must be a talent.

His sensitivity to the market can be seen from the fact that he could fight his way out of the video tape market in his previous life.

"Jingle Bell--"

Reaching out his hand to signal Lin Xiaoming to wait, Wu Xiaozu picked up the Motorola mobile phone.

"Cai Sheng...good evening."

Wu Xiaozu looked narrowly at Lin Xiaoming who was hesitating and restless, smiled at him, and continued talking on the phone.

"No, it's just for supper~ you say—"

"Azu, I have met several big water pipes, all of whom are very interested in filming, is it convenient for me to meet?"

Inside the car, Cai Zhiming had an unruly expression on his face, and said to Wu Xiaozu with a smile, "Tonight, when we were promoting Pai Gow on Aomen Street, a few Dutch friends talked about movies. I told them, does Wu Xiaozu know? That's my good brother. They were shocked from ear to ear, arguing to get to know you..."

Wu Xiaozu looked at Lin Xiaoming who was fidgeting, and said with a smile, "Okay."

"By the way, have you paid attention to the profits of the video tape? I'll call Amin someday and ask him to share the dividend."

Cai Zhiming leaned back on the car seat with a chuckle, "Azu, do you have time? Why don't you work together on a few movies and start making money together. This time, "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" is a very pleasant collaboration... I think Let's continue to cooperate... Your younger brother can also shout together."

"I'm afraid the time is not very convenient." Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly.

"You say that, I'm so ashamed in front of my friends..."

Choi Chi Ming laughed heartily, "I know you're a busy person, why don't you do it like this. Your younger brother will lend me a play for me, okay? You don't want me to lose face in front of my Dutch friends, do you?"

"Of course I don't want Cai Sheng to embarrass you. How can we embarrass ourselves in front of the Dutchman? You can talk to him about my brother's schedule, but—" Wu Xiaozu's smile instantly brightened.

Lin Xiaoming swallowed.

"What?"

"Huanyu International."

There was silence on the other side.

At this time, Cai Zhiming, who was sitting in the car, sat up straight, staring at himself in the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, "Azu, are you so interested in the video tape business?"

"There is a long-term prospect." Wu Xiaozu also smiled.

He never regarded Cai Zhiming as a fool, instead of covering up, it is better to be true or false.Everyone can see the prospect of the video tape market, and Wu Xiaozu doesn't have an aura of wisdom, so it's not easy to fool the other party into the urn.

"Okay, let's meet and talk."

Cai Zhiming smiled darkly, but his mouth was very enthusiastic.Hanging up the phone, his eyes flickered.

"Mawei, do you think the video tape market is profitable?"

"Of course, video tapes are so popular now." The driving horse replied without looking back.

"You know what, Wu Xiaozu has no reason to show it so bluntly? Is he not afraid of me? Or does he have other plans?" Cai Zhiming said to himself.

"Lll-level movies and videotapes... Is this Pujie really so optimistic about videotapes?"

Cai Zhiming fell into deep thought, not understanding why Wu Xiaozu suddenly cut straight to the point.

In his opinion, Wu Xiaozu's farts are all fake, and he will tell himself his purpose straightforwardly?
"Damn it! I don't care about you!" Cai Zhiming cursed, rolled down the car window, and got some air.

...

"Director Wu? Isn't that what you mean?"

Lin Xiaoming looked at Wu Xiaozu who left his brother behind like a fool.He suddenly felt that Wu Xiaozu had a kind of whimsy.Really want to use filming as a bargaining chip in exchange for "Huanyu International"?
This is not called idiot's dream, this is called IQ test!

"Boss, the bird's nest you want..." At this time, the waiter came over with two steaming porcelain bowls and put them on the hardwood table.

"The pigeon's nest here is very good, try it - it's also good for hair!"

Wu Xiaozu pinched the lid of the cup with a towel, and a gust of heat rose.Seeing Lin Xiaoming's puzzled face, he scooped up a spoonful, articulate, and said vaguely, "Isn't the video tape very promising?"

"Of course." Lin Xiaoming was determined.

He himself 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 also has an in-depth understanding of the operation mode of Hollywood's video distribution.Seeing how delicious Wu Xiaozu's food is, especially for the fact that it is good for hair, he couldn't help taking a spoonful.

"Is it good to eat?"

"On time!"

"I don't want to tell you, how do you, a layman, know that this stew pot here is delicious?" Wu Xiaozu methodically scooped up the pigeon, and said lightly, "Sometimes, people don't know whether a thing is delicious. Dare to try? What do you think?"

Lin Xiaoming paused, savoring Wu Xiaozu's words carefully, and slowly chewed out a little taste, but before he could continue thinking, Wu Xiaozu's voice sounded again.

"Zhao Kuangyin has occupied the post for the Chai family for decades, so he waited for the opportunity. Wang Mang was absolutely loyal before usurping the throne. Brother Xiaoming, it's time for you to show your loyalty. The video tape market is so vast, of course it's up to you to tell the boss If the videotape market wants to develop, film sources are very important, how much do you think the film sources of various companies and the sequels of TVB and ATV's hit TV series are worth?"

Wu Xiaozu looked at the stunned Lin Xiaoming with a smile, raised a finger lightly, and smiled in his ear, "I think it's worth [-] million!"

"One hundred million?!!" Lin Xiaoming swallowed, then lowered his head and calculated. If 1 million can be sufficient and a large amount of resources, will it make a profit or a loss?

It's definitely not worth it at present.But if you think about it carefully, it is definitely a big profit!
The film library is definitely the biggest confidence of the video tape distribution company!
"Do you think Boss Cai will be willing to give up the money?" Wu Xiaozu smiled coldly.

"What if he is really willing?" Lin Xiaoming asked persistently.

"It just so happens that I put a few examination equipment in the Kowloon Walled City, so I'll chase the bad money for the good money."

Wu Xiaozu pushed the bird's nest cup aside, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and stared at Lin Xiaoming, "I think Boss Lin is a smart person. You know what cooperation is and what coercion is.

Some people are not suitable to be collaborators and bosses.

I have 1024 Locomotive, Jianghu Emergency and Star Entertainment in my hand.To tell you the truth, I have a close relationship with real estate developers in Hong Kong Island, and I can buy many popular shops at low prices, and they can all be developed as our specialty stores!In Southeast Asia, my film distribution network is also being laid.Once it is achieved, theatrical movies and videotapes are two-pronged, then..."

Wu Xiaozu didn't continue to talk, Lin Xiaoming was already shocked.There is another point that neither of them mentioned, but they both know it well.With Cai Zhiming's character, he would not disregard such great interests.

If this kind of thing really happens at that time... I am afraid that he, the dragon crossing the river, will not be able to protect himself!

"Are you a good collaborator?" Looking at Wu Xiaozu who got up to leave, Lin Xiaoming asked hoarsely.

"I'm a businessman." Wu Xiaozu smiled back.

The rest speaks for itself!
