382 [Crying and fainting in the toilet]
"Ah Tian, Brother Ma's windbreaker was sold for 60,000 pieces at once, and all the inventory in my dad's factory was sold out. Now orders are still coming." Chung Chuhong happily reported the good news to Xia Tian.
Originally, Chung Chuhong was still skeptical about asking her father to make windbreakers in summer. Because it is not popular in Hong Kong to wear windbreakers. Young people wear denims, and there are more casual clothes.
Xia Tian asked his father to produce windbreakers all the time, but he didn't tell him how to sell them. As a result, after nearly three months of production, all the windbreakers were piled up in the warehouse and could not be sold. Although the money for opening a factory was paid by Xia Tian Tian, Zhong Dafu still felt very worried when he saw that the clothes in the warehouse could not be sold.
Because these windbreakers are just a piece of money. In a few months of production, the cost alone is more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars, let alone the money from buying a factory.
Although this money comes from summer, Zhong Dafu also puts a lot of pressure on him. After all, my brothers are clear about the accounts. If the factory loses money, what will people think of the Zhong family and their daughter in Xiatian!
Chung Chuhong once asked Xia Tian what to do. But Xia Tian kept telling her to just take care of the childbirth and ask him for it if she had no money to start work. This made the Zhong family confused and vaguely uneasy.
Unexpectedly, now it is better. With the popularity of "The True Heroes", Brother Ma, the hero of Yigai Yuntian, suddenly became popular. What he said, the sunglasses he wore, the toothpicks he had held, and the windbreaker he wore became popular overnight.
Zhong Dafu's stock of tens of thousands of pieces was sold out in less than a week. Now orders are still coming in, making him wish he could buy another factory and recruit another group of workers, and he would be happy to make a 24-hour round a day.
Once tens of thousands of pieces of stock were sold, Zhongji Clothing Factory also made a lot of profits. A windbreaker cost only 80 yuan, but the wholesale price was as high as 150 yuan. Sixty thousand windbreakers sold for more than 9 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting the cost and labor costs, they could still earn more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
The clothing factory was jointly opened by Xiatian and the Zhong family, and their family owns 30% of the shares. This way, they can get more than 700,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is considered to be a considerable fortune, making the Zhong family extremely happy.
"Let my uncle continue to produce it. When this movie is sold to Taiwan, Nanyang, Japan, and South Korea, it will not be difficult to sell another 200,000 to 300,000 sets." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"The True Heroes" set off a craze in the entire East Asia. With this film, Zhou Runfa became popular not only in traditional ticket stores such as Hong Kong, Nanyang, and Taiwan, but also became popular in South Korea and Japan. Especially in South Korea, this film has achieved a box office record of one and a half consecutive years, with an average of 50,000 viewers per screen. Korean young people also rushed to imitate Zhou Runfa, sunglasses and windbreakers once sold out. Therefore, it is not difficult to create sales of hundreds of thousands of sets.
"Well, thank you, Ah Tian!" Chung Chuhong nodded and then said gratefully.
Although I entered the entertainment industry and became a popular star, I was unable to improve my family's livelihood due to my limited income, which made my parents worry about the business of the women's clothing store. But I had no choice.
Unexpectedly, Xia Tian had an idea, but her parents made money all of a sudden. Seeing their happy appearance, Chung Chuhong felt very happy, so she was full of gratitude to Xia Tian.
"Silly, whoever of us is with us? You are my woman, then they are my relatives. Isn't it okay to do some favor?" Xia Tian smiled, "Don't be polite to me anymore, otherwise I'll be angry."
"Well. By the way, when will I have time? My parents want to invite you to dinner at home?" Chung Chuhong asked with a smile again.
"Just just because my uncle and aunt want me to go, do you want me to go?" Xia Tian said with a chuckling.
Zhong Chuhong blushed, then mosquito-like humming, "I miss you too."
"I heard it louder, I didn't hear it." Xia Tian smiled.
"Hate!" Zhong Chuhong said coquettishly, "Come on, I will cook for you personally! I have never cooked for anyone except my own family."
"Okay, it will definitely come at that time." Xia Tian smiled, "No matter how bad I eat it, I will eat it all."
...
"The True Color of Heroes" has been released on September 15th and has been released on November 2nd. It has been released for 49 days, with a box office of 37.92 million, setting the highest box office in Hong Kong films ever.
The box office poison Zhou Runfa became the box office magic medicine, one of the most popular male stars in Hong Kong; the down-and-out director Wu Yusen turned over and became the most popular director; the outdated star Di Long also became popular again with this film and rejuvenated his second spring; although Zhang Guorong's role is not likable, he also made a furious presence with this film...
The results of "The True Heroes" are obvious to all. Tianxia Film has created another miracle. Now everyone is convinced, and some people are even more slapped by this score and they are swollen in their faces. They dare not speak nonsense anymore.
New Art City was crying and fainted in the toilet. Wu Yusen was originally their director, but they swept the house out like throwing garbage. Now, the movie is so popular that it has become, and New Art City has become a joke in the film industry after Shaw Brothers.
At that time, Shaw Brothers made the king of comedy Xu Guanwen, and invited the king of kung fu Bruce Lee from the United States. However, because Shaw Yifu didn't know anything, the two of them came to Jiahe one after another and became the pillars of Jiahe, making great contributions to Jiahe's development. Therefore, Shao Yifu was laughed at as saying that he "caught a deer but did not know how to take off his horns", which became a joke.
Now, just like Shaw Brothers, Xinyi City made the same mistake and missed the talent Wu Yusen. This has also become one of the jokes in the film industry.
"Who decided to fire Wu Yusen at the beginning?" Mai Jia slapped the table and cursed.
"No one fired him, it was his resignation letter. At that time, he lost money from "Two Tigers" and "Laughter" he filmed at that time. If it weren't for Xu Kelibao, he would have been fired at that time. Later, the company hid him for half a year, so he handed over his resignation letter, so the company immediately approved it." Huang Baiming explained.
When Mai Jia heard this, her face turned dark. She wanted to scold her but didn't know who she should scold!!
In the past two years, Xinyi City has a lot of talents and has achieved great box office results, such as "Happy Ghost", "Best Partner", "I Love the Night Fragrance", "Family Photos", "Little Scared", etc., almost one hit, one hit, one hit, one hit, and the whole company has developed a pride, arrogance and blind confidence.
Many directors who worked with Xinyi City were swept out by Xinyi City because they modified the script while filming. For example, Liang Puzhi, this guy was replaced twice; some directors were fired by the company because of the unfavorable box office of the movie, such as Wu Xiaoyun, the director of "Caiyun Song"...
At that time, no one thought there was any problem with doing this, but now it seems that this approach of box office theory and seven-person group theory has also laid a considerable hidden danger for Xinyi City.
One of the hidden dangers is that the director's autonomy is strictly limited and he can only film according to the script of a seven-person group. Although the movies made in this way are popular, they kill the director's creativity. After the seven-person group was disbanded, the remaining directors didn't even know how to make the film, so the quality of the movies they made can naturally be imagined.
The ideal director who did not want to be bound by the seven-member group chose to leave, and Xu Ke went out to start a movie studio.
The second hidden danger is that the company's monotonous movie type is almost entirely urban comedy, and almost all of them are sequels. For example, "Best Partner" has filmed three consecutive films, "Happy Ghost" has also filmed two consecutive films, "Ghost Wise" has also filmed a sequel "I Love Night Scent", and "Little Scary" has successfully produced comedy ghost films such as "Yin Yang Fault", "The Spiritual Aura", "Good Luck" and "God Help"...
Because the company only has box office theory, it is naturally the safest to shoot sequels and use the previous successful templates to shoot movies, which also makes the only urban comedy films left in New Art City.
In comparison, Summer Tianxia Film has launched different types of movies such as spiritual fantasy kung fu films, urban comedy films, urban hero films, women's action films, romance art films, ethical tragedy films, etc. Jiahe has always won with action comedy films, but this year it also launched a warm-hearted film like "Dragon Heart".
Other film companies are recruiting talents, seeking innovation and change. However, Xinyi City is busy with internal struggles, sticking to the rules and expelling talents. No wonder it has fallen into its current situation.
Mai Jia is not an idiot. He quickly figured out these joints and couldn't help but feel so upset. What made him most annoyed was that even if he figured out the crux of the problem, he was unable to change it.
The reason why New Art City has these problems is the unfair distribution. The equity of New Art City is arranged in this way. Huang Baiming accounts for Jiubaxian, Shitian accounts for the nineteenth baxian, Mai Jia and the behind-the-scenes boss Lei Juekun occupy the remaining seventy-two baxians. Among these seventy-two baxians, Lei Juekun accounts for fifty-one baxians and Mai Jia accounts for forty-nine baxians.
The original division of labor in Xinyi City was that Huang Baiming was the screenwriter, Ishida was the actor, and Mai Jia was the director. In this way, there were all directors and directors, and the three brothers made a fortune together.
However, with the development of Xinyi City to this day, Huang Baiming is not only a screenwriter, but also a director, and an actor. The "Happy Ghost" he made is also the most profitable movie in Xinyi City. In this way, he would only take Kowloon Fairy to be too few.
Ishida was originally positioned as an actor, but with the increase in talents in the New Art City, his role has become less important. It seems too much to win the Nineteenth Sin.
Mai Jia used to be a director, but now she is the boss. She sat in the office, blew the air conditioner and gave orders, and got the largest piece of cake, which made Huang Baiming and Shitian satisfied.
The most annoying thing is Lei Juekun. He took a little money and occupied more than 30% of the company's shares. The money he received now was dozens and hundreds of times the investment he invested back then, which made Mai Jia, Shitian, and Huang Baiming secretly scolded him for losing money in the business.
