Rebirth: Becoming a Tycoon from Hong Kong in 1977

“Send? Is it free to deliver? ”

Lu Jingshan was stunned. He suspected that he had misheard.

Instead of selling, it is given away for free, this is not throwing money out.

Hurriedly and cautiously reminded: “Chairman, the cost of this laser disc is not low, 50,000 is a bit much.” ”

Song Tianyao did not speak immediately, glanced at the company’s executives present, found that most of them had expressions of wanting to talk and stop, and smiled: “It’s not a free gift, there are conditions.” ”

“If you watch the Predator five times alone, you can receive a laser disc for free, and the first 1,000 viewers can get an autographed video of the hero and heroine.”

This time Yan Xuehai first raised questions, and he did not dare to directly question Song Tianyao.

I can only say tactfully: “Chairman, it’s still possible to watch it a second time, watch it five times in a row, won’t the audience get tired of watching it?” ”

“Chairman, I agree with Manager Yan’s words, it may not be sent out.”

Lu Jingshan carefully echoed, expressing his confusion, he felt that he had to show his opinion, otherwise why would the boss invite him.

“You haven’t realized the deeper meaning, just do what I say, you can’t lose.”

Song Tianyao shook his head a little disappointed, without much explanation.

Think about it, it’s very normal for them to have this question, after all, star chasing in this era is not so crazy, and they have not seen the horror of the fan economy.

But the potential nature of this fan is not absent, there are them in every era, it just needs the right soil and human guidance.

And the horror of the rice circle in the later world, Song Tianyao has long learned that you can die or live for a photo, and there is no distinction between right and wrong.

Now all he has to do is open this market. Be the one who sets the rules.

So, what is it to watch it five times? If you are a fan, in order to get an autograph, it is a small meaning to watch it ten times.

Even ordinary citizens who are not fans can watch it five times in order to take advantage.

The price of laser discs is not low, and they are beautifully packaged and collectible.

Wouldn’t it be a fool to take advantage of it, it is the minds of this type of audience that capture.

As soon as this trick comes out, there will definitely be a wave of growth in the number of moviegoers in the future.

And what Song Tianyao wants is the number of movie views, the more times, the higher the box office, the greater the natural profit.

As for the cost of the laser disc, sprinkle water.

“Okay!”

Seeing the boss’s somewhat disappointed look, Lu Jingshan nodded quickly, and then asked: “Chairman, how to count the number of movie views?” ”

“What about the materials you registered before?”

Song Tianyao said with a faint smile.

“Materials?”

Lu Jingshan frowned and muttered, suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly said: “You mean the signature on the movie ticket?” ”

“So there is still this effect!”

Before that, Lu Jingshan was still wondering why the boss ordered the audience to sign or make a mark on the ticket when he ordered the ticket inspection.

At that time, I thought it was superfluous, and secretly complained about the busyness of increasing staff.

I didn’t expect this deep meaning here, really worthy of the chairman, the thing to consider is far away.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingshan admired the sycophant: “Chairman, I didn’t expect you to plan it so early, your foresight is worth learning from!” ”

“Indeed, strategize and think deeply!”

Yan Xuehai on the side nodded and echoed with a deep smile. Although he feels that it is a bit unreliable for an audience to watch it five times. But the chairman’s foresight impressed him.

To these flattering words, Song Tianyao did not have the slightest wave, and asked Yan Xuehai: “How is the negotiation of beautiful national films?” Did the news come back? ”

Yan Xuehai pushed his glasses, flipped open another document and said positively: “Chairman, I have already replied, and the most sincere bids are Fox and Paramount Pictures.” ”

“Fox Pictures offers three million dollars for the entire rights to Predator.”

“Paramount is bidding $1.8 million for independent screening rights including North America and Europe, and intends to buy all the rights to Predator at a negotiable price.”

“No need to talk, agree to Paramount’s offer, $1.8 million, only sell the right to screen!”

Song Tianyao made a decision without even thinking about it.

The North American and European screening rights are 1.8 million US dollars, nearly 12 million Hong Kong dollars. (6.969 in ’78.)

After all, it is the first time to break into the market of a beautiful country, which is acceptable.

But the Predator’s full copyright is $2.6 million, and he simply can’t sell it.

It seems that Fox Pictures also sees the potential of the Predator, after all, the original time and space is the Predator filmed by Fox.

What movie is the most profitable?

Of course, it is the fastest money to make a sequence movie.

The sequel to Predator alone can be filmed in many films, not to mention that it can also be linked to aliens.

Predator was released for three weeks.

The movie-watching boom in Hong Kong Island has dropped a lot, but the box office has contributed nearly 46 million.

And as soon as the laser disc comes out, if it is not expected, the final box office of Hong Kong Island can touch the tail of 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

The largest share of the filmmakers is the most, but other foreign film merchants are also meat, which together are estimated to be 9 million Hong Kong dollars.

Paramount buys out 12 million Hong Kong dollars.

Disc sales reaching HK$9 million are not a big problem.

All of them add up to 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which has left Jiahe far behind.

Excluding the cost of films, the non-stop publicity, theater operations, factories, and various expenses, the profit that ultimately belongs to Song’s Film is estimated to be at least 75 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Predator’s shooting cost was only five million Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention the movie windfall profits, nearly 15 times the profit.

Of course, only Song Tianyao knew the result, so he dared to make such a bloody investment. If you change to another production company, it will be thanks to your grandmother’s house.

Not only that, Song Tianyao is ready to add 20 million at the box office to wash the gray income paid by the society.

Even so, it is still not comparable to the original time and space of Fox Films, when the global box office was as high as 98 million US dollars, which translates to more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

There is no comparison at all.

Of course, Fox was a Predator released in ’87. It’s only 78 years, and there are still nine years to go.

The current volume of Hong Kong Island is completely incomparable with the North American market, and the box office is not as normal.
