Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 160
This time, Luo Junyan’s publicity journey started in Southeast Asia, the first stop in Singapore.
Propaganda is only one of the purposes. In addition, he wants to investigate the commercial properties that Hu Xin bought. Hu Xin is good at shopping and building things, Luo Junyan has no idea.
Hu Xin, a shopaholic, occupies a territory in the core business districts of the capitals of Southeast Asian countries. He is impartial and one country. Sure enough, the construction of the experiential cinema is still in the planning stage. It seems that only the army sister can put on Hu Xin’s curse.
Southeast Asia was the hardest hit area of the 1997 Asian financial turmoil, and now it has only stabilized the situation, licking wounds in the nest. This makes the prices of commercial properties in various countries extremely cheap, with 3 to 50% off prices everywhere.
Had it not been for Luo Junyan to force Hu Xin to have only one experiential theater in one country, he would first solve the problem of existence and non-existence. It is estimated that 100 million US dollars have been spent now, and women have no resistance to discounted things.
Luo Junyan’s influence in Southeast Asia is far less than in South Korea and Japan, and even lower than in Taiwan, because he rarely travels around Southeast Asia.
But it is different in the film and television industry. Luo Junyan’s status is still quite high, and he is the idol of many celebrities.
Therefore, Hu Xin’s tailor-made publicity plan for him is a public service advertisement. In name, it is to match popular celebrities from all over the world and shoot a public welfare film that protects the environment. In fact, it is an excuse to pull people to the platform to promote “Initial D”.
Anyway, I went all the way to shoot, and by the way, I took celebrities from all over the world to the theater to go to the platform. Luo Junyan can definitely be regarded as the last predecessor, what is the most popular star? Both are younger siblings.
I have to say that Luo Junyan is really stealing the spotlight. Li Nanxing stood with him to take pictures, and both had to stand a little farther away. This product was so tender that it made Li Nanxing a middle-aged uncle.
The road in Southeast Asia is smooth, and the media are also following up and reporting. The movie-watching craze of “Initial D” continues, and there is no lack of follow-up mentality in any era, and people must first make themselves hot.
When Luo Junyan was about to end his trip to Southeast Asia, “Shaolin Football” was drawn in Xiangjiang.
The final box office of “Shaolin Football” was 60.73 million Hong Kong dollars.
This box office result is only less than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars lower than Luo Junyan’s record of 62.07 million in the box office of “Wu Shuang”, but what market is the Xiangjiang movie market now? Under the downturn and defeat, this result is particularly eye-catching, and it is even more praised by the insiders.
At the same time, “The Legend of Shushan” was also finished ahead of schedule, and the final box office was 11.91 million Hong Kong dollars.
This was a terrible failure, and the box office share recovered in the Hong Kong local market could not even be recovered for the promotional cost. Of course, there are mainland film and television companies among the producers, and they may be able to get the quota of foreign films, and they will get more from the mainland market.
But what about other overseas markets in Asia? Who would take care of a movie that hits the street.
Luo Junyan believes that there is no such thing as “Initial D” stealing the box office of “Shu Shan Chuan”. Why is “Shaolin Football” unaffected?
Does Director Xiangjiang really understand the role and intention of special effects? The film remuneration of popular movie stars is deducted. How much can 1600 special effects lenses cost? How much money can be left for the average cost of each special effects lens?
If you make CG visual effects classics with such a small investment, then Hollywood spends tens of millions of dollars to make special effects, isn’t it the act of two fools? Then talk about what is sweeping the world.
In short, Luo Junyan is still very happy, “Initial D” has become the dominant family again.
After Luo Junyan arrived in Taiwan, he first met with Uncle Yang. It’s been a long time since the couple had been dating.
Today, Yang Dengkui’s weather is different. The head of Taiwan’s eight major televisions can speak out in Taiwan’s entertainment industry. But to Luo Junyan, he always regarded him as his nephew, although they had not seen each other for many years, the two were close.
Yang Dengkui is now mainly engaged in filming TV series, and basically no longer shoots movies. For Luo Junyan’s “Initial D”, Yang Dengkui gave a deadly order, and the whole Taiwan continued to enthusiastically. All the artists under his banner must go to the platform to support it.
Luo Junyan’s promotional activities in Taiwan were also arranged by Uncle Yang, who went on variety shows, did road shows, and did interviews. The TV series “Meteor Garden”, which was hit in Taiwan this year, became popular with the starring F4 group and Xu Xiyuan. They have to go to provide a foil for Luo Junyan.
When Luo Junyan reluctantly bid farewell to Uncle Yang, he was very emotional. The accidental meeting many years ago, the decision overnight, turned out to be Uncle Yang’s many years of help. This may be cause and effect.
Japan and South Korea are Luo Junyan’s traditional ticket warehouses, and they have always been the main force of box office collection.
Over the years, his initial batch of fans has entered middle age, but young people from Japan and South Korea continue to like Luo Junyan.
The entertainment media has also conducted questionnaire surveys to explore the mystery, and the best evaluation word is cute. This cuteness is a bit weird. Luo Junyan himself can’t figure out where the cuteness is. He should have seen all the muscle photos. Shouldn’t it be bodybuilding?
In any case, Japanese manga does not draw characters according to his image, and the market is always right.
After strolling in Japan and South Korea for a few days each, Luo Junyan found that there was no need to waste time here. “Initial D” is already hot enough, and his appearance can only be added to the cake, only symbolic.
On September 17, Luo Junyan ended his publicity trip and took the opportunity to return to Xiangjiang.
Before boarding the plane, Luo Junyan called and asked Hu Xin to contact Lao Ha. “Initial D” can be released to the North American market, and I have to earn some dollars back.
On the night Luo Junyan arrived at Xiangjiang, Brother Cheng hurriedly came to the door.
“Construction” was a success, and it was the pinnacle of a step.
After the novel began to be serialized, the Dongfang Daily was out of stock. The comics are even more popular. The server of “Emperor Net” was almost destroyed, and the click-through rate is rising steadily.
Cheng Ge said concise and concise. There are two things to do now. Firstly, find agent distributors of comics in various countries around the world to penetrate the enemy, and secondly, set up a “Construction” Cosplay club covering the world.
Cosplay has long been in the works, and there is always a bunch of fanatics in real role-playing. But Brother Cheng does it differently. He pays you to play, organizes competitions, and sets up high bonuses.
Of course he did not pay the money, but Luo Junyan. It doesn’t cost much, two or three million US dollars per year is enough for the group of people to toss, and the father does not feel distressed when he spends his money.
Luo Junyan felt that this idea was good. At the beginning, “StarCraft” was not just a helper who fudged by this method, the prize money was only 50,000 US dollars, and everyone was eager for it.
But there must be someone in charge of this matter. Well, I can only let sister Xi reluctantly, take this crucial work in her hands, and artists can also take the opportunity to hype and get the best of both worlds.
South Korea’s filming base is speeding up in an all-round way and is expected to be put into use before the end of 2002. Although they all look good, they are not easy to build, and there are so many special landscapes.
Luo Junyan can afford to wait, and he is confident that he can play Richard Archimonde around the age of 40.
Other artists are frozen age, he is a reverse growth, make-up can be competent for any role in the age range of 18 to 58. No matter how old the character is, it’s damaging to the cute image, so you have to be careful.
After Hu Xin took the samples to meet Lao Ha, the agency distribution in the North American market was settled. Lao Ha, this guy is not for nothing, his eyes are very poisonous, he can basically guess 80 or 90% of whether the film can make money, this is talent and experience.
The stock of Snowman Century is also very interesting at this stage, and it is still rising after leaving the queue of penny stocks. A series of small Yangxian, among the stocks, looks extremely eye-catching.
As long as “Initial D” is still in theaters, the stock price keeps rising. Shareholders are staring at the box office performance on a single day every day, instead of looking at the stock trend, this time they bet on Luo Junyan again.
Luo Junyan didn’t understand that Snowman Century Entertainment was only the producer, and the investor was the Wind Snow Giant Trust Investment Fund. Even if the box office explodes, independent producers can only get a 5% box office share. What can be speculated about the stock price?
Despite thinking so in his heart, he still looks forward to getting out of the Yangxian every day, and he looks comfortable.
At the end of September, Jin Zhehe called, “My Savage Girlfriend” was finished, and the number of viewers exceeded 4.88 million. The result of preliminary estimation is that the box office is about 35 billion won, this time it has made a lot of money.
Luo Junyan jumped up from the sofa while holding the phone. Damn, why did you give the director 10% of the box office share in the first place? Didn’t I get into the water at that time? This time I lost a lot.
Don’t guess the thoughts of a wealthy fan. You can’t understand even after guessing. Just like Luo Junyan, he has a different perspective from ordinary people. He has his own way of understanding whether he is losing or taking advantage.
At the same time, Jin Zhehe reported to Luo Junyan and asked for instructions. The South Korean director is aiming at Luo Junyan’s film this time. Director Yoon Ji-kyun, who has just finished the filming of “Head and Master,” wants to remake “Color is Empty” and seeks the investment of Silver Snow Throne.
Luo Junyan agreed to invest, but requested that the director’s box office share be reduced to 5%. Luo Junyan didn’t feel so distressed about the money he got back from the stock market.
The rhetoric of reducing the director’s share is also easy to handle. Since Silver Snow Throne is already a listed company, Luo Junyan cannot be allowed to speak up, and he must be responsible to all shareholders. According to industry rules, the director must charge a 5% box office share to meet the conventional standard.
At the same time, Luo Junyan asked Jin Zhehe to talk about himself as furiously as possible, and dropped the cup on the spot, so that the director’s grievances would not spread to him. When we meet each other in the future, Luo Junyan will act again, maybe her reputation will rise to a higher level.
In addition, Luo Junyan once again emphasized that the main business of the Silver Snow Throne is the training of celebrities and agents. It is necessary to further strengthen the advantages of the main business and expand the scope of business coverage.
In fact, the risk of shooting a movie is very high. Luo Junyan suggested that it is not advisable to invest too many films each year, with three films as the upper limit, and be extra cautious about large-scale productions. In this way, even if you lose money, you won’t hurt your muscles and bones.
After the completion of the filming base in Busan, Silver Snow Throne will have a new main business and commissioned the operation of the studio.
This is a trade that makes a profit without losing money. Only the “Construction” series that Luo Junyan plans to shoot will allow the Silver Snow Throne to receive high profits, not to mention that there are so many independent production companies that want to rent studios.
Putting down the phone, Luo Junyan thought about Jin Zhehe’s final report.
Sister Xi chose a unique road. Other companies repaired reservoirs, so she chose to charge expressway fees.
There is not a single artist under its contract, but it has a very wide range of channels. Many students from the Silver Snow Throne were introduced by Sister Xi. They are from the Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and they charge service fees on both sides.
This is just a training business, other business shows, endorsements, variety shows, TV series, movies, etc. list. Who wants to quickly become popular? Just look for Sister Xi, who will definitely provide a full set of caring services.
Sister Xi is not easy. Basically, without relying on Luo Junyan’s support, he fumbled around in the circle, encircling the highway for life.
Luo Junyan decided to give more support, at least to help her surround her contacts, Hollywood can’t recommend people from the past. “Construction” is definitely a big business for Xi’s sister. Once it is done, it will be able to create several international superstars.
