The richest man

Chapter 16 600 Million Director

Zhang Jun has recently felt the guiding power of Hong Kong newspapers and media, and he is eager to have a newspaper of his own.

Bah, it's not my style to scold without answering back!

Zhang Jun pondered over and over again, and decided to start a newspaper to cheer for him, and even create his own media empire! ! !

"50 Hong Kong dollars should be enough to buy a newspaper..."

Zhang Jun decided to start a newspaper with 70 Hong Kong dollars out of the 50 Hong Kong dollars, and the remaining 20 Hong Kong dollars can be used to film "Happy Ghost".

Nowadays, 50 Hong Kong dollars is a huge amount of money, and the average salary of ordinary people is only in the early 1000s, which is more than enough to start a newspaper.

Zhang Jun acts vigorously and resolutely, and he does it immediately when he thinks of it.

That night, he discussed it with his parents.

With a confident face, Zhang Jun smiled and explained his reasons for starting a newspaper to Zhang Zhenghao and Yang Qiu.

"Newspapers are the uncrowned kings, and they hold the sharp weapon of public opinion. Didn't my dad be belittled by the major newspapers recently? I feel uncomfortable watching it. If our family has a newspaper of our own, I can go back! Newspapers are also the main way to promote movies. , the movie released by our Zhang Film Company must be promoted through newspapers. Moreover, running a newspaper can also make money. Look at Jin Yong. After founding "Ming Pao", his net worth skyrocketed, he drove a luxury car and lived in a villa, and his status was detached , very respected!"

"I'm quite confident about starting a newspaper. If nothing else, just being able to write another popular novel is enough to guarantee the sales of the newspaper!"

Because of the example of Jin Yong, Zhang Jun easily persuaded Zhang Zhenghao and Yang Qiu.

In Hong Kong, people are also accustomed to reading novels in newspapers.

This has a great advantage for Zhang Jun to start a newspaper.

Zhang Zhenghao was relatively calm, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How do you plan to start a newspaper? Do you want to start from scratch, or buy a newspaper directly?"

Zhang Jun didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Of course I bought a newspaper. I don't have so much free time. It's too much trouble to start a new newspaper from scratch. I'll investigate tomorrow to see which newspaper is about to go bankrupt." , and then bought it at a low price, and then revised the newspaper, following the example of "Oriental Daily" and turning it into a comprehensive newspaper, collecting and writing a lot of social news to attract readers."

Zhang Zhenghao frowned and said, "The "Oriental Daily" has a lot of editorial staff. How can you have so many staff for this new newspaper?"

"There are not enough people, just recruit people." Zhang Jun is not panic at all, he even wants to establish a news agency, build a network of reporters all over the world, supply news to the headquarters around the clock, and the headquarters is responsible for processing and providing news services to different customers .

A news agency is like a news factory, the cornerstone of a media empire. No matter what, Zhang Jun wants to build his news agency into a world-class one, comparable to Reuters and the Associated Press...

"Well, then you can make up your own mind. Anyway, our film company is relatively profitable, and has the capital to let you toss!"

The box office of "The Snake" is expected to be 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which is very likely to break the record of Hong Kong movies. Therefore, the box office share in Hong Kong alone will be 300 million Hong Kong dollars.As for the income from the foreign market, it is still impossible to estimate, but it will definitely be higher than the box office share in Hong Kong!
Hearing this, Zhang Jun immediately laughed, his father was also so forthright sometimes.

After chatting, Zhang Jun returned to his study and started to write again.

If you want the newspaper to become an instant hit, you must have a wonderful novel. Zhang Jun thought for a long time and decided to write "Looking for Qin Ji". "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" can be called the originator of time-travel novels, once released, it became popular in Hong Kong.

……

……

After a while, Zhang Jun was really busy.

I need to help my dad film "Drunken Master", write a book, and investigate Hong Kong newspaper materials.

On the day of September 9th, "The Snake in the Shape of a Snake" was finally released, with a total box office of 25 million Hong Kong dollars, making it the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong.

However, the first film directed by Zhang Jun, a newcomer, has achieved such brilliant results, and it is so terrifying that people have to be surprised.

Hong Kong newspapers even gave Zhang Jun the reputation of "600 million directors".

At 7:[-] p.m., Golden Harvest Film Company held a celebration banquet for Zhang Jun and the leading actors of "The Serpentine Hand" at the Peninsula Hotel.

At the celebration banquet, all the stars gathered.

Zhang Jun even met the Xu brothers.

"Zhang Sheng, this is Xu Guanwen, a Hong Kong comedy comedian..." Zou Wenhuai introduced him.

"Mr. Xu, hello, I've heard about your name for a long time, and I hope we can cooperate more in the future!" Zhang Jun stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Xu Guanwen.

"Zhang Sheng, hello, it's a great honor to be able to cooperate with a young and promising director like you in the future!" Xu Guanwen looked at Zhang Jun unconsciously and curiously. Such a young and outstanding director is really rare.

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "Haha, we are all on our own, and we will definitely work together in the future!"

"Well, definitely!" Zhang Jun nodded with a smile. The Xu Brothers' films are very popular, and he really wants to cooperate with them.

On the other side, Cheng Long was chatting with Hong Jinbao and other fellow apprentices.

At this moment, Cheng Long was in high spirits. The box office of his first starring movie exceeded 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which immediately promoted him to become a popular star in Hong Kong.

Now when he walks on the street, people often recognize him and ask him to sign his autograph. After years of playing tricks, he has finally experienced the feeling of being popular!

Zhang Jun looked around, and Cheng Long and his brothers could not help but attract his attention.

"Zhang's Film Company is no longer the small company it used to be. "Serpentine" has already gained fame. Now if Hong Jinbao and others are brought over, will it work?" Zhang Jun thought in his heart. , ready to dig Jiahe's corner.

Hong Jinbao and others are currently signing Golden Harvest, but they are not popular.

Seeing how beautiful Cheng Long is now, wouldn't they be envious?
Zhang Jun thought about it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Then, he walked slowly towards Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

"Brother Jun, you're here!" Cheng Long saw Zhang Jun coming, and hurried forward to say hello.

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "How does it feel to be popular? Are you still used to it?"

Cheng Long laughed and said, "I wasn't used to it at first, but now I'm used to it!"

Zhang Jun said: "Hehe, it's good to be able to adapt! You will become more popular in the future, and even become the most popular actor in Hong Kong! Especially the movie "Drunken Master", I think it can open up the RB market. A box office of [-] million yen is no problem!"

Cheng Long was excited when he heard the words. Although it was very likely that Zhang Jun was talking big and making fun of him, he still couldn't help but look forward to it.

At this moment, Zhang Jun turned his head to look at Hong Jinbao, and said, "Brother Hong, are you interested in coming to Zhang's Film Company? director."

Who is Zhang Jun?Hong Kong writer, well-known screenwriter, director.

Nowadays, many film companies even offer sky-high prices to invite Zhang Jun to write the script, but Zhang Jun is indifferent.Now he would create a script for himself, and Hong Jinbao was suddenly excited.

"Director Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"Of course I'm not joking. If you agree to come to Zhang's Film Company, I will write the script for you right away, and you will be the director, starring role, and action director!"

"I, I'll think about it!" Hong Jinbao was moved. Although he said to think about it, he actually agreed in his heart.

Zhang Jun smiled and said: "No problem, just tell me when you think about it, the door of Zhang's Film Company will always be open for you."

After speaking, Zhang Jun left.

Cheng Long immediately said to the elder brother: "Brother, what else are you thinking about, just agree directly. With Brother Jun writing the script for you, you will definitely be popular!"

Hong Jinbao hesitated for a moment, and said: "Jiahe treats me well, if he leaves suddenly, it seems a bit disrespectful."

"Brother, Golden Harvest previously supported mainly Li Xiaolong. Besides, Zhang's Film Company and Golden Harvest have a cooperative relationship. If you go to Zhang's Film, Golden Harvest will not say anything."

"Well, okay, then I'll go to Zhang's Film Company." Hong Jinbao thought for a while, then nodded.
