Chapter 091 All Stars Bring Jianlibao(2/3)
As long as you don't think about eating alone, with Zhao Donghuai's current status, it is not difficult to bring goods with an all-star cast. Besides, the Dragon Head Theater shows various movies every day. It sells Coca-Cola and popcorn, but what about selling Jianlibao? It's so basic.
Following his words, Ah Fa accepted the contract and said with a smile, "We will naturally comply with Zhao Sheng's instructions, but what's the point of picking up money? Advertising endorsement?"
Zhao Xueyan received dividends from New World. New World 2 and Hurricane Rescue each received 2 million Hong Kong dollars in investment from Lai Sun Group. Zhou Yunfa's endorsement was also very smooth. The endorsement fee was quite high, and it was easy to shoot a few sets of commercials.
Guan Jiahui spoke at this time and asked doubtfully, "Brother Huai, if you sell a can of ordinary Jianlibao, I will get a penny. If you sell a can of my own personal version of Jianlibao, I will get a cent. How much do you have to sell to save money?"
"
Zhao Donghuai, "..."
He didn't want to explain, and he felt that Jiahui had a hard time delivering water. Last night, he was still hesitating and changing, and he also worked hard to drink thickening juice. Forget it, "It depends on your charm. You have to be able to sell 10,000 cans a day. That's it."
1,000 yuan, a daily salary of 1,000 yuan!”
"As you become more and more popular and have more and more fans, selling 20,000 cans per day means your daily salary is 2,000 yuan."
"A can is RMB 18. There are more than 5 million illegal workers in Hong Kong. If you can't sell 20,000 cans a day, it will only prove that you are not popular."
"This is a fast-moving product, do you understand? If young people don't drink several cans of Coke a day, are they still called young people? I hope you can join hands and change the trend of drinking Coke to drinking Jianlibao."
The dividends he gives to celebrities and newspaper guys are all included in the cost. After all, the production cost in Hong Kong dollars is 20 to 30 cents and the retail price is 1.8 cents. If you don’t share some of it, no one will care. Of course, this is how you make money by selling on Hong Kong Island, etc.
If Wanwan is eliminated, the profits of South Korea and island countries will definitely decrease.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only does it pay taxes, but he does not have the sales system of newspaper men all over Hong Kong in those places, but if it is reduced, the income will still be high.
Guan Jiahui was shocked. When she heard it, how powerful was it?!
The daily salary of one thousand or two thousand is much easier to understand than the contract saying that each can will be sold for one penny or ten cents.
"Wouldn't it be wrong to say that the current average price in Kowloon Tong is more than 700 yuan per square foot. If I sell 10,000 cans per day, I will buy a house with more than one square foot per day?? Hiss..."
When Guan Jiahui explained like this, not to mention that she was shocked, Andy Lau and Zhou Runfa were also shocked. Damn it, how could they make such huge profits? If they could steadily promote the sales of this drink, their wealth would explode.
Mainland Ajie stars in movies and earns one yuan a day. Andy Lau, who just came out of TVB, is not much better. His monthly salary is only two to three thousand yuan, and that is after the 1983 version of The Condor became popular.
Selling soda drinks, you can expect to earn several thousand yuan a day? Tsk, it makes people want to go crazy.
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "There are people outside who are rushing to collect your issue of color photos and pictorials. A Kowloon Daily newspaper originally cost only a few cents, but it can be purchased for a few yuan or more than ten yuan. You can publish a Jianlibao collection separately in the future, no?
Sell directly."
“Calling fans to buy more drinks, such as drinking a few cans and dozens of cans to redeem them, or opening the lid to win a prize, and the reward is a pictorial photo, or opening the lid to win a prize, and get a signed album.”
"Just do some marketing. If you can't sell 20,000 cans a day in Hong Kong, it's really a shame for a has-been celebrity!"
If these celebrities go crazy trying to make money, then Mr. Zhao will earn more. If each of them sells 20,000 cans a day, there will be more celebrities.
According to the daily sales of his main store of 300,000 cans, and the direct daily revenue of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, leaving aside the illegal workers and illegal households in Hong Kong with more than 5 million people, cannot drink 300,000 cans of Jianlibao a day?
For every 300,000 cans sent from the Mainland, the cost price of each can is 30 cents, and you can get 90,000 Hong Kong dollars. This can be directly exchanged for US dollars. It’s a steady flow of money!
Just this earning of foreign exchange can give the green light for all the way up and down the eastern part of Guangdong.
This is still Hong Kong Island. When we enter Haojiang, Wanwan, South Korea, and the island countries, the market will be much broader. Even if we pay more in various taxes in those places, Zhao Donghuai can still earn a lot.
As for whether there will be a smuggling problem once it is sold out, and a large number of people will smuggle Jianlibao from Pengcheng to Hong Kong? There will definitely be, but it is not a big problem. He is not only a Hong Kong businessman, one of the major shareholders of Jianlibao, but also a newspaper tycoon and film industry tycoon.
Tycoon, the joy of stacking BUFFs is sometimes that simple!
One of the major shareholders of the joint venture, which holds 49% of the shares, does not have as much weight as the media tycoon.
To control the bulk, small-scale smuggling, etc., and if you want to sell them to make money on Hong Kong Island, Zhao Donghuai will crack down on them.
Zhao Donghuai looked at Ah Hua in the midst of a group of people who were extremely confused. "Hua Zai, how are you doing with your singing practice? When the filming of the movie officially starts, I plan to let you and Ah Rong sing new songs together."
"Even if your singing skills are temporarily incompetent, if Arong takes you flying, you will still be able to fly!"
"The song I took was from IWa, whose single with Ah Wing sold over one million copies.
On a level, if you stretch too far, you will be seriously hindered."
"I don't have high expectations for them. It doesn't matter if they lip-sync or fix their voices or whatever. I still have expectations for you."
In the early days, TVB training classes also taught dance and singing skills, but professional singers did not have the in-depth guidance. Acting and singing were also a fast way to make money. Hua Zai joined the training class in 1980.
He originally joined Huaxing in 1985 to release his first album, and now he is 84 at the end of January.
Liu Dehua, "Ah?!"
Stunned for a moment, he danced in surprise, "Brother Rong, take me? This...this..."
This is like gold bricks falling from the sky!
In the first New World, Tan Yonglin led Ah Rong Fei, in Hurricane Rescue, Ah Rong went solo, and in the third film, Lone Agent Ah Rong led Hua Zai, what a fine tradition.
TVB is the star-making base, and Director Zhao’s Zhao is the stage for take-off.
It’s 1984, and Zhao Donghuai plans to start taking off in all directions after the new year. Why after the new year? Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
On the night of Bei Xiaonian the day before yesterday, the best partners The Queen's Secret Order, Shaolin Boy, Teppanyaki, etc. all came to the midnight show. Yesterday, Nan Xiaonian started a large-scale battle.
In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, not only were various business arrangements being made, more directors were being recruited to prepare for the establishment of a team, but theater chains were also being consolidated. He had just won four leading theaters and was going to win over other small and medium-sized theaters to become a shareholder. He became a director.
For a long time, other theaters will take shares and dividends to do things.
It’s already after the Spring Festival.
New World 2 is being screened across the board? Johnnie Du is waiting... Sir Du is in a stable mood.
………………
The Spring Festival flies by.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Donghuai used theater management personnel hired from the mainland and recruited from Hong Kong Island to attract more than a dozen small and medium-sized theater chains to join him in a stock-taking situation, forming Zhao's Cinema Line.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, there is no midnight show. Zhao's will screen New World 2 in all directions, mainly in four leading theaters.
Of course, the propaganda campaign started as early as a year ago. The Kowloon Daily published advertisements every day, and even started to slander each other with the Oriental Daily. It was he and Ma Chengkun who chatted on the phone and talked about a wave of public opinion. The Oriental newspapers began to spray wildly.
The success rate of the sequels is over 90%.
Every paid media critic is criticizing the film from all angles.
Of course, some people in the Kowloon Daily are calling for New World 2 to be renamed. Stars such as Ah Fa and Ah Wing have opened special issues in the newspaper and have made various appeals to the fans.
Then the Oriental group continued to criticize Ah Fa for his poor acting skills, bad luck, etc... They criticized Zhang Guorong for being useless except for being pretty, and criticizing him for not being able to sing Cantonese songs well and instead singing English songs was not the right thing to do.
Specializing in crooked ways.
Hype, black and red are also red!
The two newspaper bosses commanded their subordinates to spray wildly in the newspapers, which can be regarded as a very happy New Year for all Hong Kong citizens.
Because of the hype, at the height of the controversy, the daily sales of the two newspapers each increased by 10,000 to 20,000 copies. Some fans and movie fans of Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and others ran to the Oriental Daily Building to ambush and embarrass the film critics.
Eggs and the like.
Such as Huang Weiming!
Huang Weiming strongly criticized this behavior in the newspaper the next day, and also said that unless bombs were planted on Princess Jin and Golden Harvest Cinema, New World 2 would not be able to achieve good results when it was released.
If New World 2 can beat the attendance of films such as Golden Harvest, Shuang Nan, Golden Princess' Teppanyaki, Best Partner, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Shaolin Boys after the Spring Festival, he will go to Tsim Sha Tsui to run away...
People who eat melon are getting more and more excited!
Huang is indeed a well-known film critic and senior journalist. When New World 1 was released, he was sitting in the back row chatting with the founders of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng, preparing to start a fuss.
That time he didn't have a chance to complain. This time? He started complaining before it was even released? Running wild in the city?
It feels vaguely familiar. I seem to remember that when Hurricane Rescue was released, some people said that the behind-the-scenes footage showed a certain Wanwan brother running away on the rooftop of the airport?
Didn't see it that time.
What now??
Some news programs on TVB have begun to join in and discuss the effects of this Guoban.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Donghuai stood in front of the glass window in the large office on the third floor of Mongkok Longtou Cinema. It was not yet 8 o'clock in the morning, and the first show was not officially screened. There were a large number of spectators, either in small groups or with their families.
Come and buy a ticket and enter the venue.
His expression was very happy.
In the simulator, when I just took over the theater chain, there were rumors that there was a bomb, which made ordinary audiences afraid to go to the movies for a short period of time, which led to the failure in the first few months.
But Lao Huang publicly shouted in the newspaper that unless someone planted a bomb on Princess Jin and Jiahe, he would guide the situation and stir up public opinion. News about a bomb in a theater would naturally become fun.
Now, if you go out on the street and tell people which theater has a bomb, the other person's mind will directly shift to Huang Weiming Guo Ben... and they won't take it seriously.
Besides, in order to maintain order, he hired military uniforms to double the patrols in each theater. There were also temporary workers from Zhao Films such as Snake Ming, Ba Guan, Little Overlord, and Fat Snake, as well as non-staff dragon and tiger martial arts masters and acting instructors.
The media cooperates with so many groups of people to spread rumors, and it is not that easy for someone to come up with dirty tricks.
After laughing, he raised a glass of champagne and clinked a glass with Ma Chengkun on his side, "Old Ma, how much did Mr. Huang pay before he was willing to take on the role of Guo Ben?"
Ma Chengkun laughed, "It's only 30,000 yuan. The worst I can do is run around at one or two in the morning when no one is around and take a blurry photo."
This is child's play compared to the hype generated by the two newspapers and the sales they stimulated.
You don’t think that newspapers rely on sales of a few cents per copy to make money, do you? The sales volume is high, ranking first in Hong Kong, and investment advertisements can earn huge profits. In this era, many companies’ recruitment information is published in newspapers.
