Chapter 352 I Invested 100 Million, Two Months, Still Haven't Started?(2/3)
"The popularity hasn't dropped much at the beginning of this month. It's worth making a movie just to sell products."
"What I'm curious about is, can this kind of fishing gear promotional novel also become a best-seller in North America? The adaptation rights of US$2 million have not been negotiated yet? Isn't it too expensive?"
"Instead of making such a big movie, why don't you invite Brother Dahua and Brother Jiahui to come out and remake a commercial of wearing helmets for fishing, and then Brother Jiahui will strangle Brother Dahua with fishing line or something, and then
Prove it to the audience.”
“If you wear a helmet and a high-quality fishing rod and line in time, you will no longer have to worry about missing Liansheng!”
Liu Yijun's eyes lit up, "Yes, Master Xing, your idea is great, why didn't I think of it before?"
A Qian patted him directly and said, "Don't call him Xing Ye, call him Xing Zai, otherwise how will my seniority be calculated?"
Ah Xing was speechless and cast a self-seeking look at Ah Jun. Ah Qian was beautiful, but she had a big personality and was difficult to take care of.
There was nothing I could do about it, after all, I was born in Bai Fumei. Compared with the low-level common people like them, I was much superior. I was pampered like a little princess by my parents, brothers and sisters since I was a child.
In countless Hong Kong movies and TV dramas, the descriptions of the common people changing their backgrounds and achieving class jumps all hope to train their children to become lawyers or doctors... A Qian's father and two brothers are both famous doctors.
In 2022, there are relevant reports that the average annual salary of doctors in Hong Kong is more than 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars. Yes, the average annual salary is more than 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars! The monthly salary of interns is 30,000, which ranges from 60,000 to 100,000 after becoming full-time. The internship period has just ended, you may
The annual salary has reached the level of one million.
In the 2020s, it was common to have an annual salary of more than one million. Now in 1990, doctors are also among the super golden collars.
Aqian's two brothers are less than 30 years old and belong to the young and strong group. Her father is a famous doctor. As early as the early 1980s, he was earning hundreds of thousands a year just like playing. In the early 1980s, Ah Xing was still earning more than 1,000 yuan.
I can live on my monthly salary.
Are you saying that she is unruly, willful, and unreasonable? No.
But it is necessary to have a strong personality and not be easy to coax.
The next moment, Ah Xing suddenly said, "A Qian, I heard that my uncle joined the Baicaotang Group and became a pharmacist leading the group?"
A Qian nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ah Xing laughed and said, "Congratulations, no wonder you can go wherever you want to shoot movies and TV shows recently, and Shao Sheng doesn't care about you."
"Instead of continuing to negotiate copyrights with North America, it would be better to make commercials as soon as possible."
An ordinary wealthy doctor is nothing to Shao Daheng, but joining Zhao's Baicaotang and becoming a pharmacist in charge of projects alone is extraordinary.
Ajun nodded, "Thank you Brother Xing, I'll meet up with Brother Dahua later."
He has a very good relationship with Ren Dahua... Because he has been in the celebrity circle for many times, Dahua likes fishing the most and also likes to bring friends to go fishing together. Isn't this the best person to bring goods to the fishing gear factory he opened in Chang'an?
Ah Xing said happily, "It's better to choose the day than to hit it. Now call Brother Dahua and let's get together. I haven't played with him for a while."
More than half an hour later, when Simon Yam arrived, he started to complain as soon as he came in, "Fuck the street, Wu Yusen contacted me a few months ago and said that he wanted to make a gangster film that was shot in Vietnam, and he wanted to ask me to be the boss.
supporting role."
"I ran off to take pictures in the blink of an eye. It was a serious waste of my feelings."
The original track was released in August. It took such a long time for this film to wait for a good release. Although it was such a hit after its release, even Xiang Laoshi was pleasantly surprised.
Not to mention Lao Wu.
But Lao Wu was completely blinded by the excitement of such a big project, and had long forgotten about it.
………………
November 5th.
In the ATV office, Zhao Donghuai was having lunch when he saw a picture flashing on the TV that was originally playing the replay wheel.
The picture shows Liang Jiahui and Simon Yam sitting together by the river, each holding a fishing rod and talking.
Switching between close shot and long shot, Liang Jiahui's magical voice rang out, "I'm thinking that our club only has one talker, which doesn't seem to be good. Most clubs outside have two, and some have four.
.”
"To put it bluntly, if something happens to one of them, the other one will be there to support him."
Liang Jiahui's giggling laughter was full of stupidity, and the close-up view showed a large camera focusing on Yam Dahua's side face, where Dahua's temples were gray, and he snorted with both mockery and energy, which was full of funereal atmosphere.
When Jiahui continued to nag, Ren Dahua raised the fishing rod and caught a fish. While responding calmly to Liang Jiahui, he smashed the fish's mouth with a cruel iron hook.
On the other side, Liang Jiahui was still cursing about not being able to catch any fish, while Ren Dahua had already abandoned his fishing gear and fish, walked towards Jiahui, and even lifted a stone.
A classic scene in the movie was about to take place. Liang Jiahui, who was squatting to collect fishing gear and bait, quickly pulled a helmet buckle from the edge of the pony tie and said, "Pushing A Le, I knew you had bad intentions in asking me to go fishing."
"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm wearing a helmet, and I'm determined to sit in the stadium with Lian Sheng."
Seeing this, Ren Dahua, who was holding the stone, still held up the stone to hit Jiahui ferociously, while Jiahui grabbed the fishing rod and swung it.
The fishing line was directly wrapped around Ren Dahua's neck, "You have rocks, and I have mosasaurus fishing rods. You may be better than me at fishing, but you are far behind at pk."
At this point in the advertisement, Liang Jiahui proudly made a scissor hand gesture, and the TV station also re-entered the main TV series.
Zhao Donghuai was stunned for a moment, then put down the steak, "Talent, is this an advertisement for Liu Yijun's fishing gear brand?"
Ah Zhen went directly to make a phone call. After some communication, she smiled and said, "Yes, that Ah Jun was still very ambitious at first. He wanted to buy the remake rights of a North American novel "Da River" and asked Jim Carrey to make a movie called "Fantasy".
Where’s the fishing movie?”
"The cost was really high. Just to change the copyright, the asking price reached 2 million U.S. dollars. Ah Xing just persuaded him to make a series of Simon Yam fishing commercials."
Zhao Donghuai said in astonishment again, "Filming Dahe Lian? I really have an idea..."
How does Dahe Lian write about fishing? Fancy fishing? Of course not.
The fishing gear brand advertisements that have been flashed before are much cheaper. Indeed, this advertisement is to create a joke in the minds of the audience and movie fans. It uses movie blockbusters to promote the brand, and there is no need to say whether it is novel or not.
At least in terms of cost, efficiency, etc., it’s much better than shooting a movie about "River Love" to show off various fishing techniques.
As for the Hong Kong Haowan fishing gear market, what big brands dominate the market? Zhao Donghuai has never studied this aspect. He is not in this business, but Liu Yijun's Mosasaurus fishing gear commercial was broadcast in such a drama-level project
out.
It will definitely have a certain impact on the market.
Azhen explained with a smile, "Originally, in the Haowan fishing gear market in Hong Kong, the brands from island countries were relatively strong. Shimano and Bentin were sold more frequently. There are also Pacific fishing gear brands in Bendong Province, which are more popular."
"My second brother likes fishing, so I know a little bit about it."
"If they want to promote this brand, it's better to use public relations to get the movie to the movie channel for free broadcast for a few rounds, and then cooperate with this advertisement to have a stronger impact."
"If we hold a fishing competition, give the first place a bonus of RMB 100,000 to 80,000, create a lot of hype, and invite a few celebrity friends to compete with citizens to fish, we can achieve a very good promotion effect without spending much money.
"
Zhao Donghuai looked over in surprise, "Okay, Zhen, you have a very flexible business acumen."
Azhen said calmly that her mind is not just flexible in business.
………………
On November 15, at a beach in Western District, Ren Dahua sat on the shore holding a fishing rod. He skillfully baited and threw the hook, and then began to wait quietly. When he saw Zhou Xingxing missed another rod, he burst into laughter.
He said, "Axing, you are so patient."
"I've helped you make nests, but you haven't caught any yet?"
"Are you going to join the Air Force if you follow me?"
Three big fish have been caught in the fish bucket next to Da Hua, which is enough to make up a table for lunch. As for the small fish? Da Hua basically catches them and finds them small, so he releases them back.
On the other hand, Zhou Xingxing could see the fish float sliding and swimming from time to time while sitting here. It seemed that there was bait biting the hook, but when he pulled the rod, it was all empty.
Following Da Hua's words, Zhou Xingxing lit up a cigarette and complained, "The Air Force is the Air Force. I can't calm down. Hey, it's released today. I'm just waiting to be scolded."
Brother Da Hua was stunned and laughed again, "No way, no way."
Ah Xing shook his head, "Why not? They are all moviegoers who go to see comedies because of my reputation. After going in for a show, it turns out to be a tragedy, tsk~"
"I can now imagine how the newspapers and magazines will scold me tomorrow. The newspapers will still refrain from scolding me. If I really appear in front of the audience, I'm afraid someone will beat me."
Ren Dahua laughed loudly, laughing a bit, "Then just get drunk, sleep for two or three days, and you'll be fine when the limelight passes."
"No matter how the situation changes, it's impossible for him to be like Jim Carrey, who almost had a patrolman pull out a gun and aim at him on the street, right?"
No wonder this guy suddenly came to him to fish, it turned out to be to avoid the limelight.
The beach in Sai Wan where the two of them were at the moment was indeed very remote. No matter how big the movement was, they were not afraid of being discovered and surrounded.
Zhou Xingxing didn't mind Da Hua's smile. He took another long breath of smoke and complained, "If the situation here is to be reversed, I guess I have to wait for Jim Carrey's box office performance in Europe and the United States to be reversed. I I really want to find a place to hide for a few days."
"But now it's also being released in Mainland China, Bend Province, South Korea, Thailand, etc."
He couldn't find a safe haven even if he wanted to.
Ren Dahua laughed again for a moment. He wanted to say that Ah Xing's reaction was too extreme, but he still didn't say it out loud. The other party's emotion was only temporary. There is a saying. It will be released with the release of a love tragedy movie, which may affect Ah Xing's reputation. , cursing.
But with the fan base accumulated by Ah Xing's previous films, as long as the movies are not too bad, they will really be tolerated.
Moreover, when this movie was promoted in East and Southeast Asia, it was never said to be a comedy. It was just a normal poster with Zhou Xingxing as the protagonist, and newspapers announced that Xingxing's new movie was about to be released.
It's really not advertised as a comedy.
This kind of publicity method... After the big name starring Shen Tong swept the Internet, if you go to the cinema and watch it, you will find that only Shen Tong Paper Man has a lot more conscience, right??
And it’s not a new love movie, it’s really not bad!
To be continued...
