Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 354 The Movie Is About to Be Released (First Update)
BMW's vans have already been produced, and the sedans will be coming soon. The sedans will come in four models: 1.5L, 2.0L, and will be available in automatic and manual transmission versions.

The 1.5 sedan's design is somewhat similar to the earliest Santana.

The 2.0 version is somewhat similar to the Jetta King. All four models are available in both manual and automatic versions.

Because this type of car is more suitable for the current road conditions in China.

The Germans are actually very meticulous in doing things, but in the end, they lost because of their own people.

Germany fawns over America, and when America implements an environmental policy, Germany cuts all its coal-fired and nuclear power plants.

You have to understand that electricity is the lifeblood of industry, so in the end, many of the German factories were moved to the interior!
Several of Germany's major industrial giants have closed their domestic production lines and moved them all to the interior!
So Germany castrated itself!
Compared to the lengthy process of forging notebooks, German forgery takes less time.

Mitsubishi has been falsifying data for 35 years, deceiving a total of 258 factories.

Kobayashi Chemical is suspected of counterfeiting 400 out of the 500 types of drugs it produces, and its history of counterfeiting spans a full 40 years!
The little notebook is ruining his own factory, making them scream in pain.

Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone in the small notebook industry is the same; there are still many companies that focus on technology!

There are three models of minivans: a 1.2L manual five-seater, a 1.5L manual seven-seater, and a 1.5L manual nine-seater, as well as the four car models mentioned earlier.

There are seven car models in total, and each needs a spokesperson.

As for who to give the endorsement spot to, that's for Liu Jiale to decide!
"Thank you, boss!" Liu Jiale knew, of course, that Li Song's actions would motivate everyone at Phoenix TV to work even harder.

Because Li Song's endorsement fee is very high, generally speaking, signing a three-year endorsement contract can earn enough money to buy a house.

Moreover, Li Song would always give the money all at once and then have the other party buy a house!

This is something these actors don't get to enjoy at other TV stations.

On other TV stations, if someone wants to hire a celebrity for an advertisement, the TV station takes the lion's share.

Moreover, due to the industrial layout of Hong Kong Island, there are no industrial products at all, so there is no need to find a spokesperson!
Hong Kong Island's biggest industries are logistics, finance, and real estate; there's simply no car factory on the scale of Li Song.

This resulted in these Hong Kong artists not finding many endorsement opportunities in Hong Kong during their most glorious period.

Outside of Hong Kong Island, unless you're a big star like Ah Long!

Others wouldn't hire these Hong Kong celebrities as spokespeople because they aren't famous enough outside of Hong Kong.

Moreover, the endorsement fees are often intercepted by the TV station.

"How many of the most famous celebrities do you keep?"

"BMW will also launch a sports car, a luxury sedan, and an SUV this year," Li Song thought, recalling other BMW models that would be released later.

"Okay!!" Liu Jiale certainly understood what Li Song meant.

"In addition, this is the progress of various projects in mainland China." Liu Jiale took out a document.

The progress of the production teams for the TV series *Water Margin*, *Dream of the Red Chamber*, and *Journey to the West*.

There's also the progress of the Space Mercenaries animated series, the Transformers animated series, and the Ice Age animated series!

There are also follow-up developments at the Han-Tang Film City and the Three Kingdoms Film City.

After reading it, Li Song took out a novel from his briefcase: "The fantasy novel we talked about last time, I've rewritten it myself."

"This contains the beginning of 100,000 words, the outline, the main plot, and various settings!"

"You should find the best ghostwriter for this."

"Because I'm going to create a virtual fantasy world!"

"Then we'll use this novel as a basis to develop movies, toys, and even games!"

What Li Song presented was World of Warcraft, Li Song's novel, which features a mercenary squad consisting of human knights, elven archers, dwarf warriors, and gnome mages.

This is the story of a mercenary squad's adventures in World of Warcraft.

Of course, the main character is a human knight from a mercenary squad. Since the readers are human, they can immerse themselves in the story more easily!
These are all offered as rewards on second-hand platforms!

Li Song had talked to Liu Jiale before, but at that time, Hong Kong Island did not have a high acceptance of fantasy novels.

The main reason Li Song brought it out this time was for the international market.

Now that I have a fairly well-known international reputation, I'm sure people will pay attention if I publish a novel.

Whether the novel "Li Song" makes money or not is irrelevant; what matters is having enough popularity so that further development can proceed.

Since the novel "National Treasure" became a bestseller in the West, Li Song's works have received a great deal of attention.

"Okay." Liu Jiale took the thick document bag and nodded.

The most popular genre in Hong Kong right now is historical time-travel novels.

There's a story about traveling through the Three Kingdoms period and conquering the world!

There's also a story about traveling back to the late Ming Dynasty to fight the Tartars!
There's also a time-travel story to the late Tang Dynasty!

The Wonderful Magazine had no choice but to create a separate magazine for these time-travel historical novels.

The novels from Wonderful Magazine are somewhat better.

There are already some time-travel novels published in tabloids and magazines, the content of which is no less than that of early online novels.

What's this about transmigrating into Water Margin and becoming Ximen Qing? In other words, the protagonist transmigrates into Ximen Qing, goes against the Liangshan heroes, and then steals the female characters, including Pan Jinlian, Lin Chong's wife, Song Jiang's wife, and even Sun Erniang.

Hong Kong Island has a history of erotic literature, and many films about Pan Jinlian have been made there.

These tabloids and erotic magazines will write anything as long as they sell!

And you know what? These magazines sell pretty well! So the novel market in Hong Kong is booming right now.

"Boss, Lam Ching-ying is preparing to film a zombie movie series!"

"His previous film grossed six million."

"He wants to get more investment for his next movie!" Liu Jiale added.
"You can decide these things yourself!"

"It's not much money anyway!"

"Support those who need it!" Li Song had no intention of getting involved in these matters!

Because Li Song wants to see more directors and produce better works.

Of course, one can select famous directors or famous movies from memory!
But what's the use? I've already seen all of these.

I'd like to see something different!

"Okay!" Actually, Liu Jiale was a little unsure about these movie scripts and wanted to ask Li Song to take a look!

But after hearing what Li Song said, Liu Jiale felt less pressured, because for the boss, this amount of investment was really nothing!
"Boss, this is the general plan for the award you mentioned last time, which we were going to hold on Hong Kong Island!"

"We just haven't decided on a name yet!" Holding a film festival with awards is not unusual.

"Let's call it Golden Photograph."

"We're going to throw money at this from the very beginning!"

“This project will operate independently!” Li Song said, taking out the documents as he spoke.

Li Song saw that the proposal included plans to build a cinema chain!

The movie theaters are getting worse and worse!

There were simply too many forms of entertainment available, and at that time, cinemas were still very lucrative.

However, Hong Kong Island is small, so the construction of cinemas is just so-so.

And now, cinema chains are being established in other parts of mainland China!
We are facing many more problems!
However, to organize a film festival, you need your own distribution channels; relying solely on television channels is too limited.

"Develop cinemas on Hong Kong Island first!"

"Our future development direction is the mainland!"

"I have a big plan in mainland China!" Li Song plans to develop projects similar to Wanda Plazas in the mainland!

Moreover, I have more advantages than Wanda because I own a lot of cultural and entertainment projects.

"So don't be afraid to spend money in the early stages; the more reputation you build, the better!"

"Our main focus is on Chinese-language content!"

"We need to differentiate ourselves from those major international awards!" Li Song said this because Liu Jiale proposed internationalization in the plan!
Li Song disagrees with this point, because competition in the cultural field is equally fierce!
My main market is mainland China!

"Ah."

"Boss, Jinling Cinema is planning to release the film ahead of schedule."

"The main reason is to avoid the National Treasure of Jiahe!"

"We've considered it and decided to start the filming on April 25th!" Liu Jiale said, looking at Li Song.

Li Song nodded: "You can arrange that as you see fit!"

Li Song also knew that the original plan was May 1st.

"Okay, the Southeast Asian theater distribution deals have also been finalized." The Wonderful Magazine and Li Song have a great influence in Southeast Asia, plus the Little Notebook has also invaded Southeast Asia.

The film "The Nanjing Incident" largely depicts the battle between soldiers and the Japanese in Nanjing, interspersed with the Japanese's evil deeds and the friendship between the soldiers.

These friendships are described very little, just a glance or a gesture.

Because in that kind of situation there is no time to be sad, no time to cry.

Some people just kept going, one after another, fighting with their own lives!

Historically, the East has been ruled by foreign tribes, but each time they were driven out through continuous resistance. This film mainly highlights this spirit, and then incidentally exposes the ugly face of the Japanese at that time.

Li Song did this because the Japanese consistently denied the invasion and even changed history textbooks.

"I'll attend the premiere!" After hearing this, Li Song knew that Liu Jiale had already made plans.

Li Song had no complaints about this, because things are not static.

Since I've entrusted the management to Liu Jiale, I should trust him.

"When will the boss see the sample footage?" Liu Jiale asked.

"Give me a copy, I'll watch it myself when I get back." Li Song did this so he could take the film back and have it edited by a second-hand platform.

Make some super-exciting promotional short videos!

Second-hand platforms have a significant advantage in this regard, and editing is also much easier.

"Okay!" Liu Jiale nodded.

Liu Jiale gave the copy to Li Song, and Li Song took the copy home.

Then Li Song watched a movie with these bodyguards.
