Chapter 90
"Three Seasons of Love" ushered in an explosive period one week after its release. From the beginning, three or four small theaters were screened, it attracted more theater participation by free copying. The sad and beautiful ending song touched countless people and became a hot topic for people's conversations. In addition to the high praise from film critics, the popularity of this movie has increased.
Unfortunately, the movie type is a midnight movie and is not suitable for screening in public. Many people only hear about it but do not see it. As the popularity increases, it finally attracted attention from theaters. Jiahe and Princess Jin called to cooperate and wanted to delete the film and re-edit it and released it in theaters.
Li Shenghao asked Haisheng how to deal with it? Haisheng gave two choices. One was that the theater company paid 300,000 yuan in one lump sum to obtain a copy of the movie. Howard Johnson did not participate in the subsequent dividends. The more you earn, the more you earn, the less you earn, the more you earn, the more you earn, the other one could also get a free copy, but it would have to be matched with a magazine suit of 30,000 yuan.
Most theaters have chosen the second one, which can get a copy without spending money, and can also sell magazines and get another copy. As for magazines that are not suitable for sale in regular theaters, they can be digested using other channels. For theater owners, that is not a problem.
With theaters participating in promotion and promotion, the popularity of movies has increased. Shaw Brothers also wanted to get a share of the pie when he smelled the smell. For some reason, he was targeted by Howard Johnson. He had to pay 500,000 yuan for copying the movie alone, which was 200,000 yuan higher than other theaters. If it was matched with a magazine suit, it would have to be bound to 50,000 yuan, and the purchase price was higher than that of other theaters.
Shaw Brothers was dissatisfied with this. Li Shenghao was tough and said whether he wanted to love or not! There is naturally a reason why he was so arrogant. First, Haisheng's explanation was set by him.
On the other hand, movies are so popular that magazine tapes have long been out of stock. The factory expanded production and workers worked in three shifts, and the shutdown of the machine still could not meet the demand. If the order is placed, the shipment may not be issued. The supply is in short supply, and the situation is naturally in a state of confidence.
Movies and music are not only popular in Hong Kong, but also favored by foreign businessmen. Among them, Vietnamese businessmen placed orders for 50,000 magazines, 100,000 regular records, and 300,000 tapes, and may also follow up.
"Three Seasons of Love" is more popular in Vietnam than in Hong Kong. The edited and deleted version of the movie attracted widespread attention as soon as it was released. The ending song of the movie swept across the country in a short period of time. If nothing unexpected happens, it will become the most popular song of the year!
The song was so popular that the songwriter received unanimous praise from the Vietnamese people. Unfortunately, she only heard of her name but didn't know who she was. So the singer was invited to go back to China to hold a concert. The film company also invited her to make a movie, and the powerful paid a house to hope that Miss Lian would go back to China to settle down.
After hearing this, Miss Lian cried with joy. When she was interviewed by reporters from her country's newspaper, she thanked the people for their care and love for her, and told her about her life experience, which was actually somewhat similar to the movie's description. She also fled to Xiangjiang due to war. The difference is that her country's soldiers are not that bad and are still the guardian god of the people. After arriving in Xiangjiang, she was deceived by her fellow villagers and sold to local gangs to engage in the business of picking up customers.
Life is not good or bad. As a foreigner fleeing man, it is already very good to be able to settle in Xiangjiang and have a good meal. Thinking about living a normal life is a luxury for her. She really hopes to meet a sincere young man like the Sanlun Brother in the movie. Unfortunately, she has never met a single person in her 20 years of life today!
Miss Lian finally gave some advice to her sisters. She said that there are many rich men in this world and many successful people, but there may not be one man who is willing to give you sincerely in his life. If you are lucky enough to meet him, don’t let go!
After her interviews and reports were published in the domestic newspapers, she gained another wave of presence. The public's favorability towards her increased greatly, and her fame soared and she became a star.
People are popular and have many troubles, and some people are not accustomed to being jealous and envious, so a scandal of Miss Lian broke out, saying that she was just a lady on the stage and was defeated by the willows. The uncut version of the movie she starred in was unsightly, and the photo albums she produced were even dirty, and her singing skills were average. The songwriter was the real master, and it was many times better than her if she sang.
The emergence of negative news has made Miss Lian’s reputation and criticism, and she argued endlessly. The popularity continued to decline. Affected by this, the orders received by Howard Johnson Company floated like snowflakes.
It is a good thing to have a lot of orders, so you don’t have to work hard to sell, but the output cannot be made, and the orders are piled up in your hands. Li Shenghao is so anxious that he jumps up and down, and often supervises production in the factory.
The hot sales of products attracted peeks. They were originally small profits but fast sales, all relying on quantity. The price was already very low, and there were pirated versions coming out to grab the market. Li Shenghao asked Haisheng to discuss how to solve the problem, but Haisheng was busy making movies without the time and energy to distract himself, so he let Li Shenghao handle it himself.
Li Shenghao is very arrogant and has limited ability. If he can handle it himself, he still needs to ask others. Master Zhou and his father are helpless and can't count on it. He had to continue investing money to expand production scale and increase production capacity, so that he can make more money.
The factory expansion requires a large number of manpower. Li Shenghao arranged for the tribe to work in the factory, and Haisheng also arranged the land-selling neighbors. For a time, there were many people and the production was not stopped every day.
After working hard for more than a month, most of the orders were finally completed. As time went by, the popularity of the movie weakened, and pirated copies were disrupted, and subsequent orders gradually decreased.
The factory can meet the order needs normally, so there is no need to work overtime, Li Shenghao breathed a sigh of relief. Taking stock of the monthly income, Hai Sheng took away 1 million, and he got 300,000, which seems very little. After all, the business is so popular that it is impossible to have such a little profit.
In fact, they all get net profit. Apart from taxes, they still recovered most of the investment and left some money as working capital. Haisheng demanded that money be paid first and then goods be made, and all they get was cash and no debts were owed, and they could accept the amount of money they made.
Li Shenghao got less than Haisheng and had no complaints. After all, Haisheng was doing most of the things, and he was just running errands. In addition to the profits of magazine tapes, the girls who participated in the movies rose because of the popularity of the movies, especially Lian's value soared and became a little famous, which was no worse than ordinary stars.
He often receives invitations from wealthy and wealthy people, especially wealthy Vietnamese businessmen invite her to parties or sing songs. The appearance fee is quite high, and one session costs tens of thousands of yuan. Of course, Li Shenghao would not miss the opportunity to make money. He equipped Miss Lian with a bodyguard with a small car, and sent his right-hand man, Master Zhou, to the girl as a guide.
Miss Lian is a country girl, but she has a handsome figure, but she has never seen the world. Suddenly, she has changed from a pheasant to a phoenix, and from an ordinary lady on the stage to a famous lady, she travels between high-end places and high-end places, obviously too young and tender, and lacks the heat and cannot support the scene.
