After the lingering feeling passed, the circulation data of "Daily Headlines" finally dropped from 1.5 million to a stable 960,000 copies.

The sales volume did not exceed one million, but it was no different from those giant-level newspaper companies.

From an influential newspaper in the West to one of the top five newspaper giants in the United States, it took just over two months.

What is a legend?

This is the legend!

Countless newspaper publishers were amazed and began to face up to the "Daily Headlines" that had taken advantage of the giant newspaper industry.

The "Wall Street Journal" has a dedicated front-page journal that conducts a comprehensive analysis of the crude and direct traffic marketing methods used in this war.

It is said that the sales volume of this issue of the newspaper increased by 100,000 to the middle-class families who delivered it to their homes, and the supply exceeded the demand.

At the same time, many well-known universities announced that this classic marketing case will be included in economics, management and other professional textbooks.

Some newspapers are also not idle, inviting professionals to analyze the characteristics of headline newspapers, and conduct detailed analysis from many aspects such as content, editing, layout, graphics, and topic selection.

Finally, I came to a point of view that this kind of newspaper with rich pictures and texts, fast pace and fun is in line with the current post-war mentality of many people pursuing entertainment.

I also want to do color printing!

It’s difficult. Small and medium-sized newspapers don’t have a strong capital supply chain, can’t compete on price, and don’t have first-mover advantages.

Large newspaper companies do not dare to easily give up users who have accumulated savings for many years. If they take too big a step, they will easily get into trouble. No manager has the courage to give up his career and take risks.

At the user level, many readers, including some passers-by, who watch advertisements on TV every day, are also very interested in the person behind "Daily Headlines".

Chen Jun's identity is not difficult to check for those who are interested.

But almost all large newspapers have chosen blind silence, while small newspapers cannot reach that level even if they want to investigate. Only a few medium-sized newspapers want to take advantage of the popularity and retaliate.

But it doesn't matter if you don't check, it will scare people to death if you check.

That night, the managers of three medium-sized newspapers received three yellow bullets wrapped in envelopes.

At the same time, all printing stations where newspapers were being printed were burned down.

Greetings from the Corleone family.

In the end, everything ended up falling into the sea!

This matter was told to Chen Jun by Johnny Fontan, who returned to Los Angeles from New York. After staying with the Corleone family for two months, his mental outlook improved a lot.

"I would also like to thank you. If it weren't for your method, it might be difficult for me to get my favorite role."

Big star Johnny Fontane's attitude was quite enthusiastic, "What have you been busy with recently? I admire you for being able to make such a big impact in such a short period of time."

"nothing."

Chen Jun was a little confused: "Recently, I have been acquiring some small and medium-sized newspapers and formulating an assessment system."

During this period, the most important thing is to tap the professional talents of major newspapers, fill in the structure of the newspapers, and integrate the newspapers into the newly established media company.

As for the shares of the original president Adams, they were exchanged for a reasonable amount of money, and all the shares are in his hands.

"You established a media company? Oh...then what do you think about movies? Are you interested?"

Chen Jun shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know much about it. I don't really understand the operating mode here?"

"What's wrong? You look worried?"

"Let me tell you directly, Godfather plans to get involved in the film industry and set up a special production company for you to control. I will be responsible for assisting you."

"Actually, I don't understand either." Johnny shrugged, "Maybe my talents are only in singing, acting and women's bellies."

"But you still came to me. I can see that you don't want to give up this opportunity!"

Chen Jun sat on the office chair with his fingers crossed.

In the original plot, the movie industry under the Godfather was dominated by Johnny, but now it is controlled by him, with Johnny as his assistant.

Johnny Fontan frowned, suddenly clenched his fists and then relaxed them: "My voice is broken and I can't be a singer. This time, the role that could have won me an Oscar was targeted by Waltz's public relations, and I am worried about the future of my performance."

"I don't want to continue like this. I want to be a person who can move the wind and rain, a powerful person!"

"There's no reason why a fool like Waltz can become a movie tycoon, but I can't." There was a gleam in his eyes.

"Um!"

He responded in his usual nonsensical manner.

Laying out a new industry was a task given to him by his godfather. But now the Corleone family was in a secret war with the other five major families in New York. The unknown character of the plot made him confused as to how to proceed.

Johnny interrupted his train of thought, "What do you think?"

"I don't know. Out of caution, I need to get familiar with this and get feedback before I can give you an answer on whether to get involved in a new industry!"

He really doesn't know how the movies of this period work, whether they are the kind of movies of later generations, and he has even seen the classic "Gone with the Wind" among the movies of this period.

Johnny was obviously a little disappointed and then regained his mood, "Anyway, if you are in Los Angeles, why don't you go to Beverly Hills? There will be a cocktail party there tonight. I know many film producers and we can communicate with each other."

These days, Chen Jun often attends various parties and negotiates a lot of advertising business.

This model is very popular in Los Angeles, where you have a party while talking about business.

Movies are part of the media, and he is somewhat interested in it.

After two weeks of various experiences in Hollywood, Chen Jun became familiar with Johnny and even visited his family two days ago.

His divorced ex-wife was very beautiful and also a Hollywood actress. She chose to divorce because she couldn't stand Johnny Fontane's flirting with women.

They gave birth to two daughters as delicate as angels, with strong genes.

Often wearing a traditional dress, patent leather shoes, and pushing a breakfast trolley, as soon as he saw his father, he would jump up and down, open his arms, and run to Johnny.

This scene makes Chen Jun envious. Frankly speaking, Johnny is not a good husband, but he is a good father.

But he only stayed there for one night, and he heard a quarrel in the night. Johnny ran away in anger the next day, and he couldn't stay much longer.

"Where to go?"

"Martha's Club in Hollywood, there's a big reception there on Friday night."

"That kind again?"

"It depends on how you look at it. Hollywood is basically like this. Either you prey on others or you are preyed upon by others. I am used to it and I never tire of it."

"Don't worry, this place is of high standard, and the attendees are all top film producers, movie stars, and executives!"

"Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Mae West, Lana Turner and Joan Crawford."

"I don't know anyone!" Chen Jun shook his head.

"Okay, you have high vision, then let's talk about communication seriously."

Johnny drove Chen Jun to Beverly Hills, got off the car and entered a splendid manor that looked like a European-style palace.

"They are all public relations consultants for film companies. They are responsible for accepting some men and women who are eager to climb up. They are also responsible for solving customer needs and problems."

He introduced the models here to Chen Jun one by one, and at the same time secretly introduced the female stars who were popular in the United States during this period.

Beautiful is beautiful, but he has never heard of any of them.

"Did you see that?" Johnny coughed lightly, "That's Howard Hughes, a playboy and a top rich man. That old ghost Woltz is just a small player in front of him."

I have heard about this Chen Jun. He is a very awesome person. He has been a director, made movies, designed airplanes, and set many flight records. It is said that he is the prototype of Iron Man.

But Chen Jun looked at the group of women surrounding him and had no desire to deal with them.

He walked to the corner and randomly picked up a glass of red wine. Suddenly, he glanced at her, pointed at the woman in front of him, and asked, "Who is she?"

"Vivien Leigh!"
