The richest man
Chapter 155 Chip and Song
Chapter 155 Chip and song (big chapter)
From noon, Zhang Jun watched more than 4 hours of cartoons with relish.
In Zhang Jun's view, the two cartoons produced by DreamWorks are very good-looking, and even have an irresistible impulse, just like the mood when watching "Dragon Ball", "Naruto" and "One Piece".
"Boss, it's almost 5 o'clock, shall we watch it tomorrow?" Liu Zhan reminded Zhang Jun in a low voice.
"It's 5 o'clock~" Zhang Jun looked out of the window. In the evening, the golden sunset covered the sky with soft colors, like a beautiful picture scroll.
Before I knew it, I had watched cartoons for so long...
Zhang Jun was stunned.
It's all because the cartoons are so good, it made him forget the time for a while.
"Even I like watching it so much, let alone other people!" Zhang Jun is very confident in "Spiderman" and "Chu Liuxiang", as long as they are broadcast, they will soon become popular.
"Mr. Liu, since the production of "Spider-Man" has been completed, you can contact Marvel and launch it as soon as possible!"
Fans of American comics have been waiting for a long time, looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping to see the "Spider-Man" cartoon as soon as possible.
Needless to say, once the "Spider-Man" cartoon is broadcast, it will definitely greatly promote the sales of "Spider-Man" comics and toys!
This is all small money!
When Zhang Jun thought of making money, he felt extremely happy.
But what worries him is that the live-action version of "Spider-Man" is not easy to shoot. He has already written the script, and the selection of directors and actors is a problem, and the special effects are also a great test for Industrial Light and Magic.
----
"Boss, good news!!! Good news!!! There is news from the American MOS Technology Company that the 6502 chip has been developed!" Zhou Liang walked into the office and said to Zhang Jun excitedly.
Hearing this, Zhang Jun stood up abruptly.
"You said the 6502 chip has been developed?!" Zhang Jun was also excited.
"Yes, boss!!" Zhou Liang nodded his head heavily. He was very clear about the significance of the successful development of the 6502 chip.
The price of the intel8080 chip is 140 US dollars, while the price of the 6502 chip is extremely low, and the production cost is only a few dollars. Once the chip produced by itself is used, the profit of the legendary game company will increase dramatically! ! !
With that said, Zhou Liang handed Zhang Jun the fax sent by MOS Technology Company.
Zhang Jun took the fax and read it carefully.
MOS Technology Company has indeed developed the 6502 chip, and its performance is even stronger than that of the intel 8080. As for the production cost, if mass-produced, it can be reduced to less than 2 dollars a piece.
After reading the fax, Zhang Jun couldn't hide his excitement.
His first thought was that he wanted to build a 6502 chip manufacturing factory as soon as possible.
And it still needs to be built on a super large scale.
The 6502 chip has a wide range of applications, including arcade machines, home game consoles, handhelds, electronic pets, computers, etc., plus external sales, it should be no problem to consume tens of millions of chips a year.
At this time, due to the substandard chip performance, many games could not be developed.
Zhang Jun thought of developing a multi-chip processor game substrate, which requires 4 chips for just one game substrate.
Although the cost of building a chip factory is very cheap now, if it is large-scale, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Zhang Jun was worried for a while.
Is it in one step to build a large-scale chip factory directly, or gradually.
After thinking about it, Zhang Jun felt that it would be better to have one in place, because the production cost would be lower and thus the profit earned would be higher.
That night, MOS Technology sent a team to Hong Kong, led by Marcy Broad, a vice president of MOS Technology.
Zhang Jun asked them to rest for one night and start working the next day.
The conference room of Legendary Game Company.
"Boss, if you want to build a factory with an annual output of 4000 million chips, it will cost at least 2 million US dollars!!" Marcy Broad opened his mouth and analyzed to Zhang Jun.
As long as 2 million U.S. dollars, Zhang Jun feels that it is super cheap, and the chip factory can pay back its capital within a year or two!
"Marcy Broad, from now on, you will be responsible for building the chip factory, and I will fully support your work!!!" Zhang Jun said.
Marcy Broad nodded and said: "Okay, boss, I will build the chip factory as soon as possible!"
MOS Technology Company also relies on this to make a profit. Legendary Game Company purchases so many chips from Intel every month, and MOS Technology Company is jealous when they see it.
And next, Legendary Game Company's demand for chips will skyrocket.
Marcy Brod knows the internal situation of Legendary Game Company better than Intel. MOS Technology Company, as a brother company, must get the chip order!
……
"Boss, why do you look so sad?" Tian Meng, from Huanyu Music Company, looked at Zhang Jun's expression and couldn't help asking.
"Oh, I'm short of money!" Zhang Jun sighed.
"Boss, you are still short of money!" Tian Meng said in surprise, in Hong Kong, no one knows that Zhang Jun is the richest.
"Recently, the expenses are relatively high, and there is a little gap in funds." Zhang Jun shook his head and said.
Two hundred million U.S. dollars, or one billion Hong Kong dollars.
Even Zhang Jun couldn't figure it out for a while.
In fact, the company under Zhang Jun's name has always been very profitable, but Zhang Jun spends money faster.
And he has been secretly absorbing shares of many listed companies in Hong Kong, such as Standard Chartered Bank, Wharf, Hong Kong Electric, Hong Kong Telecom, etc...
At the same time, many companies under his name have established branches in Asia, Europe, America, Australia, South America, South Africa and other places to explore the local market, which requires money.
It can be described as spending money like water.
In a short period of time, it is not easy to collect 2 million US dollars at once.
As December approached, Zhang Jun asked Zhu Mingyue's album "Women's Flower" to be promoted in advance. He planned to use this album to raise some money for himself. Combined with the money earned by other companies, it would be enough to solve the problem of building a chip factory. funding problem.
At this moment, the album has not yet been released, but fans are already looking forward to it.
"It is said that all the songs in the album "Women's Flower" were all composed by Zhang Jun himself. Zhang Jun's musical talent is unparalleled in the world, and all the songs he composed are classics! I am really Really been waiting!"
"Also looking forward to it!"
On the morning of November 11th, Radio Hong Kong began broadcasting the song "Women's Flower" on demand.
"
i have a flower
planted in my heart
budding
......"
As soon as this song came out, it immediately caused a great sensation in Hong Kong.
Zhu Mingyue's gentle, affectionate and low-key interpretation sang the sadness and strength of a woman and a mother in the process of growing up.
"Female flowers, swaying in the world of mortals. Female flowers, gently swaying with the wind..."
The long ending, tender and tender, touches the soul and floats into the depths of people's hearts.
After listening to this song, countless fans in Hong Kong couldn't help but shed tears for it.
A slightly elderly middle-aged woman in her 30s was sitting in her small shop, quietly listening to the singing from the radio, with tears in her eyes unconsciously.
"What a "Women's Flower"!!! It's so beautiful, it almost sang to my heart..."
Women suddenly can't help but think that they have gone through countless hardships and ups and downs along the way, from a young girl to a mother, met their husband cheating, then divorced, and finally brought their daughter to depend on each other, but in their hearts they also longed for a pair of gentle Hands can soothe the loneliness in her heart...
The most important thing is that the world can't keep it.
In a blink of an eye, the female flower that was in bud at the beginning has gradually withered, swaying lonely in the world of mortals.
……
……
On this day, "Women's Flower" touched countless women, and tears filled the eyes of countless people. Even after the singing was over, the lingering sound still lingered in my mind.
After listening to this song, musicians in the industry also felt admiration for Zhang Jun.
The next day's headlines on the front page not only praised Zhu Mingyue's incomparably perfect interpretation of the song, but also praised Zhang Jun, the creator of the lyrics.
Even the well-known writer Eileen Chang wrote in "Ming Pao": "It's hard for me to imagine that Zhang Jun, as a man, can actually create such a touching song as "Women's Flower". Could it be that only men can truly understand women?? ?”
As soon as the song "Women's Flower" came out, Zhang Jun won the love of the majority of female compatriots. Some people even compared Zhang Jun to a "friend of women", thinking that he is the only one who understands women.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jun went out to work. Before he reached the company building, he saw hundreds of female fans around the building, just to see Zhang Jun and ask for Zhang's autograph.
"Damn it, so many little girls surrounded me! Uh, there's also a group of aunts... slip away!!!"
Zhang Jun was speechless secretly, and immediately told the driver to turn around and go home. The enthusiasm of fans came and disappeared quickly after working at home these days, and it must be better after a while.
On the way back home, Zhang Jun was still in a good mood.
"Women's Flower" is so popular, the sales must be good.
I can definitely make a lot of money.
……
On the morning of May 12th.
Zhu Mingyue's album is the first to be released simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
On this day, Hong Kong and Baodao are full of people!
Not only because of the theme song "Women's Flower" became popular in both places, but also because the album was advertised as "a female song album created by Zhang Jun himself".
It can be said without hesitation that Zhang Jun is already the most famous Chinese singer in the world, with no less than 5000 million fans worldwide.
Right now, many people are actually buying the album "Women's Flower" mainly because of the songs he wrote!
The bosses of all major audio-visual stores knew that "Women's Flower" would be a hit, so they all bought a lot of goods. Seeing the crowd rushing outside the door, the bosses couldn't help but smile...
After the fans bought the album, they couldn't wait to take out the recorder and play it.
The 10 songs are all classics, which undoubtedly make the fans super satisfied.
"Wow!!! Zhang Jun really didn't disappoint me, these 10 songs are very good, I love it to death! God, why is Zhang Jun so talented, I admire him so much!" In a university dormitory in Hong Kong, A female college student said loudly with great excitement, her eyes glowed with fiery light, she looked at the photo of Zhang Jun on the wall poster, as if she wanted to melt Zhang Jun.
When the other roommates in the dormitory heard the words, they all nodded involuntarily.
"It's really nice, but I really like "Girl Waving Wings". This song is very inspirational and brings me strength!!!"
"I like "Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques", the melody of this song is very beautiful, plain and sad, there is a feeling of secret love and parting..."
"..."
Zhu Mingyue's album was really a hit, and for a while, her singing was playing everywhere in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong and Baodao.
Zhu Mingyue has also become the most popular female singer in the two places, and she has the same beauty for a while! !
"Women's Flower" naturally has an excellent reputation, word of mouth, and sales are increasing day by day!
Only three days have passed.
Sales in Hong Kong reached 45 copies.
Sales in Taiwan reached 115 million copies.
The record companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan were stunned, and this achievement may only be surpassed by Zhang Jun's album.
An album is 20 Hong Kong dollars. Since the record factory is also owned by the company, the profit is astonishing, accounting for 50%.
In other words, within these three days, Universal Music Company earned 1600 million Hong Kong dollars, which may not seem like much, but you must know that this is just the beginning, and it has not yet been released to other parts of Asia.
In addition, this album also made Zhu Mingyue famous.
In the past two days, countless big-name companies have sent cooperation intentions, asking Zhu Mingyue to endorse, and the lowest offer is 100 million Hong Kong dollars.And there are various performance invitations, which are expensive.
In one year, Zhu Mingyue can bring hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue to the company.
Of course, Zhu Mingyue can earn a lot of money herself, and becoming a multi-millionaire is not a problem.
You know, if you don't count the advertising endorsements, Cheng Long's film salary at this time is only more than 50 Hong Kong dollars.
The worst ones are Shaw Brothers Film Company and tvb artists. They usually earn dead wages. Even if well-known artists have endorsements, their endorsement fees will be severely exploited by Shao Daheng. Although many celebrities are very popular, but in fact For the poor, it is difficult to even buy an apartment.
The album "Women's Flower" is so popular, the media in other Asian countries naturally reported it one after another, and many local fans can't help but be full of curiosity about this album.
On December 12th, the album "Women's Flower" was officially released in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
On the first day of release, there were huge crowds of people, and "Women's Flower" achieved amazing sales in all regions.
"Boss, this is a report from the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian branches. The total sales volume of the "Woman Flower" album is as high as 323 million!!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jun had to sigh "Awesome".
It's almost catching up with me.
"Boss, many people are actually targeting you. The reason why this album can achieve such a good result is that your contribution is relatively large!" Tian Meng smiled, his face full of excitement. Outsiders can hardly imagine the joy of having such a musically talented boss at the booth...
In short, Tian Meng is extremely glad that he can join Huanyu Music Company.
Right now, Huanyu Music Company has acquired many music companies in various regions of Asia through investment. This time, the release of the "Women's Flower" album is almost all relying on the strength of its own company.
Universal Music has also become one of the largest record companies in Asia.
Next, what Huanyu Music Company needs to do is to be able to establish branches in Europe and the United States, improve its own distribution channels, and become an international record company!
Tian Meng discussed with Zhang Jun all morning, planning to build a heel in the United States first.
When Zhang Jun releases an album next year, on the one hand, he can use the US branch to release the album, and on the other hand, he plans to use Zhang Jun's album to open up the situation and establish a relatively complete distribution channel.
"It's almost noon, let's go eat first."
While chatting, Zhang Jun felt hungry, so he said to Tian Meng.
"Well, okay." Tian Meng nodded, and the two went to the cafeteria to eat.
The canteen is a public canteen, where the executives and trainees of Universal Music Company also eat.
At this time, a trainee was more courageous, walked over to Zhang Jun and Tian Meng and said, "Boss, Manager Tian, hello, I am the company's trainee Leslie Cheung..."
Zhang Jun looked up and saw Leslie Cheung standing in front of him nervously.
"Oh, hello, what's the matter?" Zhang Jun asked with a smile.
"Boss, I want to ask, can the company's trainees participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong" hosted by Phoenix TV?" Leslie Cheung asked.
"The Voice of Hong Kong" has been aired for two episodes, and it is very popular in Hong Kong. Some of the popular contestants are even as well-known as singers who have debuted for many years. Therefore, this program has become the best way for many people who dream of debuting.
Trainees also debut.
Leslie Cheung's family background is relatively good, his father is a well-known tailor in Hong Kong, he has made clothes for many stars, so he boldly came to ask Zhang Jun if he could participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong".
Zhang Jun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Trainees can also participate, but before participating, they need to pass the selection first, and only those who pass the final selection can participate in the competition!"
If so many trainees all participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong", then wouldn't this program become "The Voice of Trainees", which is not acceptable.
Even if he sent a trainee to participate in the competition, Zhang Jun was also worried that others would say that he manipulated the competition behind the scenes. After all, the owner of Huanyu Music Company and Phoenix TV is the same person.
In addition, the emotions of the trainees are also very important. Even if one person is selected to participate in the competition through selection methods, it may not convince them.
Zhang Jun thought for a while, trainees are actually high-quality resources, so he simply created a variety show "Idol Trainees", threw all these trainees into it, and filmed their daily life and work.
When Leslie Cheung got the news, he said goodbye to Zhang Jun and Tian Meng.
While eating, Zhang Jun told Tian Meng what he just thought.
Tian Meng was taken aback for a moment: ""Idol Trainee"? Boss, filming the life and work of trainees can also be made into a variety show?"
"Why not?" Zhang Jun said with a smile, "Let the trainee singer participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong" first, and then create a topic and make the trainee famous. It is best to give this trainee who participated in the Voice a few singles , Let him become popular in Hong Kong! At this time, we can launch the variety show "Idol Trainee"."
"I don't believe it, the audience is not curious about how the trainees of Huanyu Music Company train and live..."
As long as the first trainee is popular in Hong Kong, his status as a trainee will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Tian Meng thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be impressed by Zhang Jun's brain opening.
"Boss, after what you said, I think the variety show "Idol Trainee" is indeed feasible! In this way, the trainees we cultivated have already gained a lot of fame before they really made their debut. !" Tian Meng couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.
Zhang Jun nodded with a smile, and added: "You forgot to mention that the ratings of this variety show will also be very high!"
Tian Meng nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Well, yes, the ratings should indeed be very high. Even I can't help but want to watch this variety show now..."
The two quickly finished their meal, and then came to Phoenix TV together.
When Huang Xizhao saw Tian Meng and Zhang Jun coming together, he thought they were here to talk about the broadcast of Zhu Mingyue's MV, but he never thought that the boss would come up with another variety show.
Huang Xizhao couldn't help but secretly nodded after understanding the variety show "Idol Trainee".
"Boss, this variety show is very feasible, but there is still a risk. It seems that there is no such style of show in the world..."
"This is called a reality show! Cultivation-like reality show!!!" Zhang Jun explained, paused, and then said, "Among all the trainees of Huanyu Music Company, the winners will be selected by the popular vote to form idols. Boy group F4 debuts!"
"Boss, why is it called F4?"
Tian Meng was startled, not quite understanding the meaning of this.
Zhang Jun also had an idea, and explained with a smile: "I plan to let them make a TV series. The name of the TV series is "Meteor Garden". The 'F' in F4 is
flower, the meaning of flower..."
Huang Xizhao asked in surprise, "Boss, what story does "Meteor Garden" tell?"
"This should be regarded as the first youth idol drama, creating a new genre of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas..."
Then, Zhang Jun talked about the plot of "Meteor Garden" in detail.
Huang Xizhao listened for a long time, a little uncertain whether such a plot would be liked by Hong Kong people.
Zhang Jun smiled lightly, and said to Huang Xizhao, "It's okay, try it out, the cost of shooting 20 episodes is not high, maybe what if it becomes popular?"
"Meteor Garden" is adapted from the Japanese long-running manga "Boys Over Flowers". This manga has occupied the throne of Japan's best-selling shoujo manga for a long time. It has been translated into various languages and sold overseas.
At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly realized that he had never proposed comic ideas for "Hong Kong Girls Comics Weekly", and they were all doing it themselves, and they did it very well.
"I'll find a time to go to the Legendary Comic Magazine Company later, and hand over the outline of the story of "Boys Over Flowers" to them..." Zhang Jun murmured.
"Okay, boss!" Huang Xizhao nodded in response, since the boss mentioned it, maybe this drama will really become popular.
Holding the teacup, Zhang Jun took a sip, and said with a smile, "I plan to let Legendary Comic Magazine publish the comics first. I think that after the pre-publicity of the comics, there will definitely be a certain amount of enthusiasm when the TV series airs!"
When Huang Xizhao heard this, he immediately had a little more confidence in the drama "Meteor Garden".
At this time, Zhang Jun was thinking that among the company's trainees, those who are more handsome are more suitable for F4.
Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang...
I'm going, I feel that the temperament is not right...
Time flies, 20 days have passed since the release of the "Woman Flower" album.
Total sales in Asia exceeded 1500 million albums.
Europe and the United States, Australia, South America and other places also sold a lot, adding up to about 230 million albums.
Universal Music's profit exceeded 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the sales volume in Europe and the United States is low, the album price is high, which is calculated in US dollars.
Affected by Zhu Mingyue's album, Zhang Jun's own album is also selling well during this period. He and Polygram Records make a monthly settlement. It is estimated that in December, Zhang Jun will be able to share more than 12 million US dollars...
That's right, Zhang Jun's English song album is still selling well in Europe and America, which once made European and American record companies jealous and crazy!

"Wow!!! Zhang Jun really didn't disappoint me, these 10 songs are very good, I love it to death! God, why is Zhang Jun so talented, I admire him so much!" In a university dormitory in Hong Kong, A female college student said loudly with great excitement, her eyes glowed with fiery light, she looked at the photo of Zhang Jun on the wall poster, as if she wanted to melt Zhang Jun.
When the other roommates in the dormitory heard the words, they all nodded involuntarily.
"It's really nice, but I really like "Girl Waving Wings". This song is very inspirational and brings me strength!!!"
"I like "Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques", the melody of this song is very beautiful, plain and sad, there is a feeling of secret love and parting..."
"..."
Zhu Mingyue's album was really a hit, and for a while, her singing was playing everywhere in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong and Baodao.
Zhu Mingyue has also become the most popular female singer in the two places, and she has the same beauty for a while! !
"Women's Flower" naturally has an excellent reputation, word of mouth, and sales are increasing day by day!
Only three days have passed.
Sales in Hong Kong reached 45 copies.
Sales in Taiwan reached 115 million copies.
The record companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan were stunned, and this achievement may only be surpassed by Zhang Jun's album.
An album is 20 Hong Kong dollars. Since the record factory is also owned by the company, the profit is astonishing, accounting for 50%.
In other words, within these three days, Universal Music Company earned 1600 million Hong Kong dollars, which may not seem like much, but you must know that this is just the beginning, and it has not yet been released to other parts of Asia.
In addition, this album also made Zhu Mingyue famous.
In the past two days, countless big-name companies have sent cooperation intentions, asking Zhu Mingyue to endorse, and the lowest offer is 100 million Hong Kong dollars.And there are various performance invitations, which are expensive.
In one year, Zhu Mingyue can bring hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue to the company.
Of course, Zhu Mingyue can earn a lot of money herself, and becoming a multi-millionaire is not a problem.
You know, if you don't count the advertising endorsements, Cheng Long's film salary at this time is only more than 50 Hong Kong dollars.
The worst ones are Shaw Brothers Film Company and tvb artists. They usually earn dead wages. Even if well-known artists have endorsements, their endorsement fees will be severely exploited by Shao Daheng. Although many celebrities are very popular, but in fact For the poor, it is difficult to even buy an apartment.
The album "Women's Flower" is so popular, the media in other Asian countries naturally reported it one after another, and many local fans can't help but be full of curiosity about this album.
On December 12th, the album "Women's Flower" was officially released in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
On the first day of release, there were huge crowds of people, and "Women's Flower" achieved amazing sales in all regions.
"Boss, this is a report from the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian branches. The total sales volume of the "Woman Flower" album is as high as 323 million!!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jun had to sigh "Awesome".
It's almost catching up with me.
"Boss, many people are actually targeting you. The reason why this album can achieve such a good result is that your contribution is relatively large!" Tian Meng smiled, his face full of excitement. Outsiders can hardly imagine the joy of having such a musically talented boss at the booth...
In short, Tian Meng is extremely glad that he can join Huanyu Music Company.
Right now, Huanyu Music Company has acquired many music companies in various regions of Asia through investment. This time, the release of the "Women's Flower" album is almost all relying on the strength of its own company.
Universal Music has also become one of the largest record companies in Asia.
Next, what Huanyu Music Company needs to do is to be able to establish branches in Europe and the United States, improve its own distribution channels, and become an international record company!
Tian Meng discussed with Zhang Jun all morning, planning to build a heel in the United States first.
When Zhang Jun releases an album next year, on the one hand, he can use the US branch to release the album, and on the other hand, he plans to use Zhang Jun's album to open up the situation and establish a relatively complete distribution channel.
"It's almost noon, let's go eat first."
While chatting, Zhang Jun felt hungry, so he said to Tian Meng.
"Well, okay." Tian Meng nodded, and the two went to the cafeteria to eat.
The canteen is a public canteen, where the executives and trainees of Universal Music Company also eat.
At this time, a trainee was more courageous, walked over to Zhang Jun and Tian Meng and said, "Boss, Manager Tian, hello, I am the company's trainee Leslie Cheung..."
Zhang Jun looked up and saw Leslie Cheung standing in front of him nervously.
"Oh, hello, what's the matter?" Zhang Jun asked with a smile.
"Boss, I want to ask, can the company's trainees participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong" hosted by Phoenix TV?" Leslie Cheung asked.
"The Voice of Hong Kong" has been aired for two episodes, and it is very popular in Hong Kong. Some of the popular contestants are even as well-known as singers who have debuted for many years. Therefore, this program has become the best way for many people who dream of debuting.
Trainees also debut.
Leslie Cheung's family background is relatively good, his father is a well-known tailor in Hong Kong, he has made clothes for many stars, so he boldly came to ask Zhang Jun if he could participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong".
Zhang Jun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Trainees can also participate, but before participating, they need to pass the selection first, and only those who pass the final selection can participate in the competition!"
If so many trainees all participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong", then wouldn't this program become "The Voice of Trainees", which is not acceptable.
Even if he sent a trainee to participate in the competition, Zhang Jun was also worried that others would say that he manipulated the competition behind the scenes. After all, the owner of Huanyu Music Company and Phoenix TV is the same person.
In addition, the emotions of the trainees are also very important. Even if one person is selected to participate in the competition through selection methods, it may not convince them.
Zhang Jun thought for a while, trainees are actually high-quality resources, so he simply created a variety show "Idol Trainees", threw all these trainees into it, and filmed their daily life and work.
When Leslie Cheung got the news, he said goodbye to Zhang Jun and Tian Meng.
While eating, Zhang Jun told Tian Meng what he just thought.
Tian Meng was taken aback for a moment: ""Idol Trainee"? Boss, filming the life and work of trainees can also be made into a variety show?"
"Why not?" Zhang Jun said with a smile, "Let the trainee singer participate in "The Voice of Hong Kong" first, and then create a topic and make the trainee famous. It is best to give this trainee who participated in the Voice a few singles , Let him become popular in Hong Kong! At this time, we can launch the variety show "Idol Trainee"."
"I don't believe it, the audience is not curious about how the trainees of Huanyu Music Company train and live..."
As long as the first trainee is popular in Hong Kong, his status as a trainee will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Tian Meng thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be impressed by Zhang Jun's brain opening.
"Boss, after what you said, I think the variety show "Idol Trainee" is indeed feasible! In this way, the trainees we cultivated have already gained a lot of fame before they really made their debut. !" Tian Meng couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.
Zhang Jun nodded with a smile, and added: "You forgot to mention that the ratings of this variety show will also be very high!"
Tian Meng nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Well, yes, the ratings should indeed be very high. Even I can't help but want to watch this variety show now..."
The two quickly finished their meal, and then came to Phoenix TV together.
When Huang Xizhao saw Tian Meng and Zhang Jun coming together, he thought they were here to talk about the broadcast of Zhu Mingyue's MV, but he never thought that the boss would come up with another variety show.
Huang Xizhao couldn't help but secretly nodded after understanding the variety show "Idol Trainee".
"Boss, this variety show is very feasible, but there is still a risk. It seems that there is no such style of show in the world..."
"This is called a reality show! Cultivation-like reality show!!!" Zhang Jun explained, paused, and then said, "Among all the trainees of Huanyu Music Company, the winners will be selected by the popular vote to form idols. Boy group F4 debuts!"
"Boss, why is it called F4?"
Tian Meng was startled, not quite understanding the meaning of this.
Zhang Jun also had an idea, and explained with a smile: "I plan to let them make a TV series. The name of the TV series is "Meteor Garden". The 'F' in F4 is
flower, the meaning of flower..."
Huang Xizhao asked in surprise, "Boss, what story does "Meteor Garden" tell?"
"This should be regarded as the first youth idol drama, creating a new genre of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas..."
Then, Zhang Jun talked about the plot of "Meteor Garden" in detail.
Huang Xizhao listened for a long time, a little uncertain whether such a plot would be liked by Hong Kong people.
Zhang Jun smiled lightly, and said to Huang Xizhao, "It's okay, try it out, the cost of shooting 20 episodes is not high, maybe what if it becomes popular?"
"Meteor Garden" is adapted from the Japanese long-running manga "Boys Over Flowers". This manga has occupied the throne of Japan's best-selling shoujo manga for a long time. It has been translated into various languages and sold overseas.
At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly realized that he had never proposed comic ideas for "Hong Kong Girls Comics Weekly", and they were all doing it themselves, and they did it very well.
"I'll find a time to go to the Legendary Comic Magazine Company later, and hand over the outline of the story of "Boys Over Flowers" to them..." Zhang Jun murmured.
"Okay, boss!" Huang Xizhao nodded in response, since the boss mentioned it, maybe this drama will really become popular.
Holding the teacup, Zhang Jun took a sip, and said with a smile, "I plan to let Legendary Comic Magazine publish the comics first. I think that after the pre-publicity of the comics, there will definitely be a certain amount of enthusiasm when the TV series airs!"
When Huang Xizhao heard this, he immediately had a little more confidence in the drama "Meteor Garden".
At this time, Zhang Jun was thinking that among the company's trainees, those who are more handsome are more suitable for F4.
Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang...
I'm going, I feel that the temperament is not right...
Time flies, 20 days have passed since the release of the "Woman Flower" album.
Total sales in Asia exceeded 1500 million albums.
Europe and the United States, Australia, South America and other places also sold a lot, adding up to about 230 million albums.
Universal Music's profit exceeded 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the sales volume in Europe and the United States is low, the album price is high, which is calculated in US dollars.
Affected by Zhu Mingyue's album, Zhang Jun's own album is also selling well during this period. He and Polygram Records make a monthly settlement. It is estimated that in December, Zhang Jun will be able to share more than 12 million US dollars...
That's right, Zhang Jun's English song album is still selling well in Europe and America, which once made European and American record companies jealous and crazy!
