Chapter 99 PHS

Qi's father suddenly clapped his hands, remembered something, and said: "Oh, by the way, I have helped you purchase the film and television adaptation rights of that anime."

As he spoke, he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Qi Wei.

Qi Wei quickly took it and opened it. Sure enough, he had obtained the film and television adaptation rights for "Boys Over Flowers".

Qi Wei's film and television company is planning to start by shooting idol dramas.

"Love to the End" that I have filmed is an idol drama, and "Never Rest", which I will start filming after finishing my new album, can actually be considered half an idol drama. Qi Wei also invested in both of these dramas.

This is to prepare for the future shooting of idol dramas by my own film and television company.

Which idol drama is the best?

Of course, it is popular all over the country and Southeast Asia, and it is the one with the greatest influence.

That is, "Meteor Garden" adapted from the manga "Boys Over Flowers".

"Dad, how much did it cost you to get the film and television adaptation rights for this comic?" Qi Wei asked.

Father Qi stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "It's only fifty thousand yuan."

"So cheap?!"

Qi Wei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He originally thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

After listening to his father's explanation, Qi Wei quickly understood.

It turns out that although "Boys Over Flowers" is considered a very popular comic in its original form, it did not achieve very satisfactory results after it was adapted into an anime in 1996.

Now that the two countries are in the honeymoon period, there are people in China who are willing to buy the copyright and adapt it into a TV series to expand its influence. Naturally, they are willing in every possible way.

It can be given free of charge.

Therefore, the negotiation for purchasing the film and television rights was quite smooth, with only a nominal fee being charged.

Now that he had obtained the rights to adapt this comic, Qi Wei was happy but thought of another question.

That's how the script of this comic adapted into a TV series should pass the review.

Although the review of film and television dramas was relatively loose at this time, it was really troublesome for this drama to pass the review.

The plot of this drama contains campus bullying, showing off wealth and other things that are not in line with the correct domestic values. Even if it is downplayed in the local adaptation, it is still not easy to pass the censorship.

Although you can find connections through Chinese Drama or Korean Three Reviews to help pass the review, if this drama becomes popular and there is a situation like later generations where they resisted the removal of the show on the grounds of misleading teenagers, then some of the people who helped pass the review are likely to be punished.

Implicate, if you implicate others, you will owe a huge favor.

Owing a favor must be repaid, and owing a favor to an adult is a very troublesome thing.

The best situation is to find a way to pass the trial yourself, and don't involve others if something goes wrong.

What to do?

Qi Wei thought of a way.

He said, "Dad, please help me register a film and television company in Hong Kong or acquire one. It doesn't need to be too large, even a leather company."

At this time, in the domestic film and television industry, Hong Kong and Taiwan needed the mainland market, and the mainland needed Hong Kong and Taiwan's funds for development. They hit it off, which also led to the rise of co-productions.

Due to the loose policy on co-production films, there are almost no barriers for co-production films, so it should not be too easy to pass the review.

The funds Qi Wei earned from the financial crisis happened to be in his own financial company account registered in Hong Kong City.

Setting up a film and television company in a Hong Kong city to co-produce films will not only facilitate the review, but also provide a convenient way to transfer funds back to the mainland.

After all, hundreds of millions of funds are not a small amount, and they will be spent wherever they make money. It is quite troublesome to transfer large amounts of funds under such local protection policies.

It’s not just as simple as plucking the geese’s hair.

"Okay, no problem." Qi's father nodded. Although he didn't understand the reason why Qi Wei established a film and television company in Hong Kong, he regarded his son's words as golden rules and he would obey his son's instructions now.

It doesn’t matter whether the film and television company established in Hong Kong is a leather company Qi Wei. It would be great if it can scale, but if it wants to scale, it needs a good helmsman.

Qi's father knows nothing about film and television, so he is obviously not suitable.

Qi Wei thought for a while and thought of a very suitable person.

It seems that she will return to the mainland this year to set up her own film and television company in Shanghai. She is still in Hong Kong. If you find her, you might have the opportunity to bring her under the umbrella.

This time we have another mission in Hong Kong Qi Wei.

He has almost finished his work as told by his father, and the funds earned during the financial crisis have reached the final stage. His father's mission is about to be completed, and soon he will have nothing to do.

But when he was in high spirits, he would definitely not be able to take any time off. Qi Wei was afraid that he would "cause trouble", so he had to find something else for him to do.

It happened that later Qi Wei learned something about chasing a popular TV series.

After explaining his affairs, Qi Wei asked: "Dad, do you know what PHS is?"

Qi's father had a question mark on his face, shook his head and asked, "What is that?"

Qi Wei took out his Nokia mobile phone and put it on the table, pointed at it and said: "It's just like this, a mobile phone that can answer and make calls."

"It turns out to be a mobile phone!" Qi's father suddenly realized.

"It's not a cell phone, it's a mobile phone."

Qi Wei corrected him and began to explain to his father the difference between a cell phone and a mobile phone, and introduced PHS.

PHS is a mobile phone based on a fixed phone, which is connected to the fixed network at home.

It can basically be understood as the "wireless landline Plus version".

It looks like a mobile phone and feels like a mobile phone, but in fact it is defined as a landline phone.

The reason for this weird positioning is that "PHS" is actually a product of "bugs".

The three major domestic operators did not have mobile services in the early days of telecommunications.

However, as the economy develops and mobile phones gradually become more popular, the mobile business has made the other two operators a lot of money.

And Telecom couldn't get a ticket to the mobile business. The huge profits from the mobile business made it so greedy that it had to find another way.

As a result, a technology that had been somewhat outdated since its birth was brought to the forefront, and PHS was born.

Although outdated things are destined to be eliminated, it still takes time. Now PHS can really make money.

Anyone who has watched "Horse" should know how huge profits can be made.

"Dad, PHS was piloted in Yuhang on January 1st this year. The 500 numbers sold that day were all sold out within an hour."

"Is it really selling so well?"

Qi's father couldn't believe it. He actually didn't fully understand the difference between PHS and mobile phones. At that time, mobile phones were expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford them, so the sales of mobile phones had not yet reached the stage of skyrocketing.

In other words, engaging in mobile phone agency won’t be very profitable.

Father Qi still looks down upon him.

"Of course." Qi Wei picked up the mobile phone while talking, "You should know that this mobile phone costs several thousand yuan, and there are also thousands of yuan in network access fees. The tariff is still so expensive, and this PHS device is not only more expensive than

Mobile phones are cheap, and landline phone rates are more than twice as cheap. You should know what cheap means."

"Cheap means it can really be sold."

Good things may not be sold, but cheap and usable things will definitely be bought by Chinese people.

Although he didn't understand it yet, Qi's father was already interested and a little eager to give it a try.

There was a car accident when I was sending my cousin home today. Fortunately, no one was injured. I came home late after handling it. I don't have time to write more today. I hope you can understand.
