The Rise of China Entertainment 1995

"That ungrateful white-eyed wolf bundled the album with the movie, and included most of the album's publicity and distribution expenses in the movie..."

The king gave up and interrupted Xiao Wang's "complaint" impatiently, asking: "So is there any problem with the publicity and distribution fees? Has he done anything illegal?"

Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth helplessly and replied: "The accountant I sent did not find anything wrong after reviewing it..."

"Since no problem is found, it means there is no problem. If there is no problem, then we will act in accordance with the contract. Who told us that we didn't think as far ahead as he did and didn't set a limit on the publicity and distribution expenses..."

The King paused for a moment, and continued with an obviously instructive tone: "This is the first movie produced by their company. The higher the box office and the more successful the movie, the better. It is understandable to invest such high publicity expenses. We have just entered

In this industry, you should pay some tuition fees. Millions of fees are nothing. We can still afford this amount of money, as long as we learn from the experience and gain wisdom..."

Xiao Wang disagreed and said: "Brother, he wants us to pay 6 million for publicity expenses. You are not stupid enough to want to pay this money! We can't be taken advantage of!"

"So what do you think we should do?" the king asked.

"He has already drawn a clear line with us. He is an enemy rather than a friend, so we will not play with him anymore. He can pay as much as he wants for the publicity expenses..."

The king reminded: "The film promotion and distribution expenses are included in the cost of the film..."

"Second brother, I know this. If we don't pay for publicity and distribution, the profit share of the movie will be reduced. He does so much just because he doesn't want to share the movie profits with us..."

Xiao Wang snorted and sneered: "I don't believe we can't get back the money we invested..."

The king glanced at Xiao Wang, thinking that this time Xiao Wang was not completely overwhelmed by jealousy, and followed the words and asked: "If he makes the movie a loss, we may not be able to recover our investment."

..."

"How big does the second brother think the box office of this movie will be?"

The king replied without thinking: "At least 20 million box office, 30 million is also possible..."

"A movie with a production cost of only 3.5 million can achieve a box office of more than 20 million. It can be regarded as a small gain. Logically speaking, the investors will make a profit..."

"It's absolutely okay for him to make such a movie a loss. I support it with both hands. It's best if we don't get back a penny of the investment..." Xiao Wang suddenly sneered a few times, with a hint of sinisterness, "We at Huayi

Brother still has some friends in the media industry. When the time comes, he will find some media to help him report truthfully and publicize..."

The king immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Wang's words. Because of the high risks brought by the uncertainty of the film and television industry, in this industry, when setting up a film and television project, it is usually to attract investment and find partners.

In doing so, in addition to finding someone to share the risk, it also means making the cake bigger together.

As the cake gets bigger, the piece you get will not necessarily be smaller than before.

Besides, no matter what industry you are in, if you go it alone, you will only gradually make yourself invincible, and you won't be able to do much.

In the film and television industry, the best situation is to borrow money from others to fulfill yourself and make money for yourself.

If Liu Hao's movie was a box office hit and he made a lot of money, but he found a way to make other investors lose money, the first movie would be so ugly...

You must know that when it comes to scamming investors in film and television, they also pay attention to strategy. At least they have to give some sweeteners at the beginning, so that investors feel that they will have a chance to scam them if they make some money.

If Liu Hao really does this, as long as he is guided by a caring person, it will easily scare other investors away. It will be very difficult for Liu Hao to attract investment in the future...

This is tantamount to shooting oneself in the foot and digging one's own grave.

Now in the film and television industry, especially movies, it is very difficult to attract investment. If Liu Hao really does this, he will definitely not be able to make it big.

All the big and small kings of Huayi Brothers think so, especially Xiao Wang, who desperately hopes that Liu Hao will lose all his investment, and it is best to lose all his money.

If you do this, you will lose at most 1.75 million of your original investment, and the impact will cause Liu Hao to lose more than ten times in the future.

If he could injure the enemy by a thousand and injure himself by a hundred, and lose both sides, Xiao Wang would still be willing to do so.

"That white-eyed wolf, let him do whatever he wants. We won't pay for the film's promotion and distribution expenses...

Besides, with these 6 million, we might as well invest in other people’s movies..."

When Xiao Wang said this, Wang asked curiously: "Do you have a movie investment goal..."

"The one who knows me is my second brother!" Xiao Wang said somewhat mysteriously: "My second brother should know the movie "Sunny Days"."

The king thought for a moment and replied: "I know this. This movie is the highest-grossing mainland movie in recent years. The director is Jiang Wen..."

"Yes!" Xiao Wang smiled and clapped his hands, "Director Jiang Wen is a rare talent. He is currently preparing for his second self-directed movie and is seeking investment. I took the lead and talked with him.

The movie has great ideas and I think it has great potential..."

The king had heard of Jiang Wen's name and became interested in it. Although he felt deeply regretful about the loss of Liu Hao, it still gave him some comfort to find sesame seeds after losing the watermelon.

Then he asked enthusiastically: "What movie is it?"

""The Devil is Coming"!"

.........

These days, the CBA was still called the China Basketball League A. When Liu Hao came to the home court of the Magic City team, Boss Xu, who collaborated with Liu Hao on his personal clothing brand, also hurried over from Yangcheng.

Seeing Boss Xu again, Liu Hao couldn't say anything about him. Except for signing the contract with Brother Yao, he was really not a sleeping dragon or a phoenix.

A very capable person.

Liu Hao handed over the management of his personal clothing brand to this boss Xu, and he lived up to his expectations. He managed Liu Hao's personal clothing brand in an orderly manner and prospered, with shipments increasing significantly.

The list Liu Hao gave him was the potential players who would shine in the Olympics in the future. He personally contacted them one by one, and he successfully signed several of them.

For example, Tian Liang, known as the "Prince of Diving", will be in the entertainment industry in the future.

It's just a pity that Liu Hao's most valued brother Yao was not signed.

After exchanging polite greetings and talking about some serious matters, Liu Hao understood what was going on.

Boss Xu reported the good news: "Congratulations, boss, on your new album and movie sales. Thanks to you, boss, your shipments have more than doubled in the past few days..."

Liu Hao's Fourth Special School's "Nothing to Spend Money" from Liu Hao's Fourth Special was originally written as an advertising song for a clothing brand. In the specially produced MV, Liu Hao and Wan Qian had a dress-up show. With the popularity of Liu Hao's Fourth Special,

, the popularity of Liu Hao's personal clothing brand has greatly increased, which instantly opened up the situation.

Also, the clothes of Yu Feihong in the movie "Lonely Sand Island" were all designed by Liu Hao based on the popular fashions in later generations' memories. In the movie, he also changed his clothes several times and even advertised in disguise.

Liu Hao nodded, and then said with a smile: "You must have watched my movie. The heroine Yu Feihong is very fashionable in her dress. I think you can also sign her up."

Boss Xu understood instantly and said with a flattering smile: "What the boss said makes sense. I will make arrangements when I get back. I will do my best to sign her..."

After fighting for Yu Feihong, Liu Hao thought of Gao Yuanyuan, "Yu Feihong looks a little more mature. In order to capture the young female market, we can also sign some younger female artists. I think Gao Yuanyuan from Nortel is very good."

..”

As soon as he heard the name Gao Yuanyuan, Boss Xu thought of Liu Hao's previous scandal.

He began to make inferences in his mind. In order to please Liu Hao, he would not only sign Gao Yuanyuan, but also find a way to sign Zeng Li.

Liu Hao was very satisfied with Boss Xu's attitude, and finally said with encouragement: "You performed well, I am still very satisfied, keep up the good work..."

After chatting with Boss Xu, it was almost time. Before the game started, Liu Hao came to the stadium and gave an opening performance.

Now Liu Hao has become the CBA's promotion ambassador and performed an opening performance as the opening guest at this year's CBA opening.

Now Liu Hao is in the spotlight, with a new album released, a movie released, and a solo concert tour going on. His popularity is at its peak. Now that Liu Hao has come to the competition, the organizers will naturally not miss the opportunity to gain popularity.

The news has already been released. Today's home game of the Magic City team is packed with seats. Many people came to the stadium because of Liu Hao.

As soon as Liu Hao appeared on the stage, the audience immediately cheered, and many people screamed and shouted Liu Hao's name crazily. It was a bit overwhelming and made Liu Hao feel as if he was in his own performance.

Liu Hao, who was wearing suspenders, was holding a basketball in one hand and singing with a microphone in his hand...

Well, it's not "Chicken..." but "Born to Be Stubborn" and "Chinese".

The former song "Born to Be Stubborn" has become one of the theme songs of CBA, and the latter song "Chinese" is Liu Hao's most influential song this year.

After singing these two songs, under the arrangement of the on-site organizer, Liu Hao was also arranged to play a small game, where he had to shoot a few fixed-point shots.

The shooting percentage... is a bit touching. If I had known it, I would have asked Liu Huohua from my class to come with him. He loves to play basketball, so he should be better at shooting than me.

In addition to fixed-point shooting, he also had a slam dunk with the assistance of the players.

The "prestige" game ended quickly. After Liu Hao stepped down, the match between the Magic City team and the Zhejiang team began soon.

And the young Yao brother also appeared in Liu Hao's expectation.

It's just for show, well... I'm a professional, and I won't laugh unless I can't help it.

Just like the title of the song that suddenly came to Liu Hao's mind.

Superman Can not Fly.

The 1997-98 season was the year when the 17-year-old Yao entered the professional arena for the first time. In this match against the Zhejiang team, Yao was defending the Zhejiang team’s center Yu Leping.

Yu Leping was a well-known domestic insider in the 1990s. He was in and out of the national team all year round. He was at the peak of his form. Although he was not as tall as him, in terms of body weight, experience and skills, he completely overwhelmed Yao's younger brother at that time.

In terms of positioning, Brother Yao cannot resist due to physical disadvantages. In terms of fighting, Brother Yao cannot be strong enough. Every time he has a fierce confrontation with his opponent, Brother Yao will fall down every time.

Liu Hao's attention was focused on Brother Yao. According to Liu Hao's incomplete statistics, Brother Yao fell down 15 times in this game. The sound of his muscles rubbing against the floor was impressive.

What embarrassed Brother Yao the most was that in the end, Yu Leping also completed a quasi-win in front of Brother Yao, helping the team win.

After the game, Liu Hao was led by the staff to the locker room of the Magic City team.

At this time, Brother Yao was unhappy and seemed very depressed. After all, he was beaten in the game and no one would be happy.

But when Liu Hao appeared in the locker room, Brother Yao was shocked and then overjoyed.

Well... Brother Yao is also a fan of Liu Hao.

After distributing the prepared new album records and other gifts, Liu Hao found an opportunity to be alone with Brother Yao.

After a few words of greeting, Liu Hao began to say: "I think you should know the purpose of me looking for you alone..."

Brother Yao nodded. When Boss Xu approached him and wanted to sign a contract with him, he had already made it clear that this was Liu Hao's clothing brand.

Brother Yao was still a little depressed and asked: "You came to the scene today and saw my performance. Are you disappointed? After all, my performance was so bad..."

Liu Hao shook his head, "Why should I be disappointed? It's just a game, it can't explain anything..."

"It shows that I was completely beaten by him, and I am completely inferior to him..."

"You can't compare to him, it's just now, he is the present, and you are the future!"

Liu Hao smiled and encouraged like a good teacher: "Everyone will encounter setbacks. This is inevitable in growing up. Everyone has to pay tuition fees, but I believe this small setback cannot stop you. You are better than you."

I imagine there is more potential, and the future is limitless...

And this is why I came here in person and must sign you up..."

Brother Yao was inspired, his eyes lit up, the gloom on his face swept away, and he suddenly laughed.

This man who can become famous in the NBA in the future is far stronger mentally than Liu Hao thinks. Even without Liu Hao's encouragement, he can quickly cheer up in setbacks.

"You think so highly of me?" Brother Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course, I strongly believe that in the future, you will be the number one player on the Chinese basketball team. Maybe, in the near future, you will land in the NBA, or be selected as the number one pick, and finally establish yourself in the NBA and become a legend.

...." Liu Hao said following what happened to Brother Yao in the memory of later generations.

Brother Yao couldn't help laughing, "You really dare to think about it!"

"Why don't you believe it? How about we make a bet." Liu Hao said confidently.

Brother Yao stopped again and again, "It's really hard to believe what you said, but what you said is my goal, and I will work hard for it!"

Brother Yao said very confidently and firmly.

Liu Hao was stunned and laughed, "Very good, I believe you will succeed!"

Then he smiled and took the opportunity to ask: "I am so optimistic about you, I personally invited you, and I will show my best sincerity, so are you willing to sign a contract with my clothing brand?"

Brother Yao had thanks in his eyes, but in the end he shook his head helplessly.
