Entertainment: Succubus Monk, Starter Tornado Boy

"Yes, yes, it's just a year of training and then let go.……"

Li Zhi frowned, feeling that this was not a good idea.

Lin Shiyuan, who was standing next to her, just thought it was the general manager who was considering the cost. After thinking about it, she said,"Why don't we recruit them first, have a trial period, and train them for three months to see whose seedlings are better?"

"It's not about money."

Lizhi shook his head.

The company is actually not short of funds. Not to mention the money Lin Chen gave her later, Lizhi's own savings alone were enough to keep the company running for several years.

In addition, Sister Qingxia also became a shareholder later. I received a sum of money and helped contact investors from Baodao for film funding.

You know, at this time, at least six of the ten movies in Hong Kong were invested by Baodao Film Company or investors. They were filming Half of the funds for"Shaolin Laughing Son in Hong Kong" came from investors from Baodao.

Therefore, the company is not short of funds at all.

"Manager Nali, what are your concerns?"Since it's not a matter of funds, Lin Shiyuan doesn't understand what Li Zhi is worried about.

Li Zhi suddenly said:"I was thinking, why do we have to set up a girl group?"

Isn't it because you said you wanted to test the waters first?

Lin Shiyuan thought so in her heart, but she said:"The main reason is to consider cost savings, and we don't know what the girl group's market will be like in Xiangjiang."

"Don’t just focus on Xiangjiang, there are treasure islands, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia."

Li Zhi shook his head:"The fact that Hong Kong movies can shine in these places shows that these regions and countries are aware of Hong Kong movies. We can definitely take advantage of the trend of Hong Kong movies to promote girl groups.."

At the beginning, Li Zhi really wanted to recruit ten trainees to test the waters.

After all, the cost of trial and error is a bit high, and Li Zhi is not the unscrupulous and black-hearted artist company owner in Peninsula.

Hong Kong's laws do not allow this..

So the sunk cost of investment is very high, which is why Li Zhi only wanted to announce ten trainees at the beginning. But today I came here for an interview in person, and among the dozen or so little girls who were interviewed, there were six or seven Good seedlings suitable for cultivation.

Beautiful, cute, pure...

Everyone has their own appearance characteristics. It is still unknown what their voice is like, but little girls of this age are still in the development stage. With a little training, Singing is not that good, as long as it is not out of tune, it is 21 OK.

After all, even she, Li Zhi, almost released a record.

Li Zhi thought for a while and said,"Let's do this. If there are suitable good talents, we will recruit them all." We will train for a year first. If there are those with good conditions and the right age, we will select the best ones to debut and see how the results are. If they are still good, we will continue to train the rest."

The reason why TVB dared to hold training courses and recruit people with great fanfare was because they had the backing of the TV station.

Even if the trained artists could not find a job outside, they could at least film TV series for the TV station.

Now Hong Kong Island Most of the star actors came out of TVB training classes.

Li Zhi never thought that he could become a reality like TVB. As long as he can be responsible for his own profits and losses, he can continue this trainee project.

Instead of waiting for the debut of a future girl group Failure will lead to the collapse of the entire trainee project.

In this way, not only will he be sorry for Master Yichen, but it will also make Li Zhi feel unwilling

"But……"

When Lin Shiyuan heard that Quan was staying, she hesitated and said,"If Quan stays, the expenses for that year will be huge.""

"It's just food, drink, and accommodation. It's not a problem to hire a music teacher, a performance teacher, or an instrument teacher. It's enough to take one person or a group of people, but the other expenses are quite a lot."

The biggest investment expense for a trainee is not food, drink, housing and hiring a teacher for training, but basic salary and other expenses.

What if you hire a music teacher and pay him 50,000 yuan a month?

One-on-one guidance, or One-to-many, one person leads one class.

The three teachers of music, performance, and dance only cost 150,000 a month, and only 1.8 million a year.

But these 1.8 million can cultivate a large number of outstanding students who can sing and dance. For trainees who can act, this is a hard expense that cannot be given up.

As for food and drink, how much can a group of girls eat?

There is no problem with accommodation. I just bought a mansion in Repulse Bay for Master Yichen. , if each room is renovated, it will not be a problem to accommodate 8 people.

A luxury house can accommodate 20 to 30 people.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about funds, and who told you that we trainees couldn't make money when we first started?"

Li Zhi said with a smile:"We can definitely cooperate with TVB to shoot a weekly program, specifically to shoot scenes of these girls training and going to school, and shoot some interesting or contradictory scenes. I believe that after it is broadcast, they will definitely Attractive to watch."

The 1980s and 1990s in Hong Kong can be said to be the era of entertainment to death. The entertainment industry is unprecedentedly developed.

Even Japan and South Korea cannot compare with this. Various funny variety shows and talent shows emerge in endlessly.

In addition , In addition, in terms of scale, I also want to be big. Not to mention the romantic third-level movies, there are more than a dozen actresses taking photos of Chi Guoguo.

And all of them have become big stars in different fields..

Therefore, in Li Zhi's view, it is entirely possible to cooperate with the TV station through trainees and regularly broadcast programs about the girls' training and classes.

In her opinion, there is nothing wrong with this.

And the emergence of such The idea is that Li Zhi feels that if the fans and audiences can participate in this kind of training of artists from an early age to achieve a kind of nurturing happiness, the effect may be better.

Lin Shiyuan's eyes lit up:"Manager Li, then we can also follow the newspaper and weekly Collaborate to publish a similar weekly magazine, specifically reporting on their progress as trainees!"

"Can!"

Li Zhi thought about it and thought this would work.

Just like those major song list magazines, we can set up a voting system so that fans can support their favorite trainees by buying weekly magazines and then sending letters to the company. Here.

We vote every week to select the most popular trainees, give some benefits appropriately, and then send some relevant support posters and signed photos to the fans who voted. In this way, not only the trainees will get better and better The fans work hard and buy a lot of weekly magazines in order to support their favorite trainees.

"hiss! Manager Li, your idea is great!"

When Lin Shiyuan heard about the voting, she immediately said excitedly:"Then we can definitely find a printing factory by ourselves, print the magazines and sell them ourselves, and sell some voting papers at the same time, so that the fans of these trainees can compete with each other, just like the four The King of Heaven is currently competing for the top ten hits of the year."

The annual top ten hits list was founded by Sing Tao Daily in 1978 to compete with the top ten hits list established by TVB. It is different from the TV station's top ten hits list. The annual top ten hits list features It’s just a fan who makes the decision.

Aren’t they commenting on the top ten hits? Those judges and musicians are not qualified. In the final analysis, it still has to be left to the market to decide.

Therefore, in each issue of the top ten hits list, 5,000 cards will be distributed and mailed to each Hong Kong citizens of all ages in the industry were asked to fill in the top ten songs released this year.

Then they were unified, and the song with the largest number won the first place, followed by the second.

However, after so many years of development, in order to make money, Sing Tao Daily also During the special selection of the top ten hits, a separate top ten hit newspaper will be published. In the lower left corner of each newspaper, there is a security blank for fans to buy, cut out, and write. The songs they liked were mailed to the newspaper.

The newspaper sent special personnel to count and organize these.

In the past, the voting started in mid-December and lasted for half a month, and then in January of the following year, the top ten songs of the previous year were released. Big hits.

However, some singers released albums in November and December, and some songs were not as popular as the songs in previous years.

Due to strong protests from fans, the selection was moved forward a month and a half, starting from November 1 The account began to select this year's top ten hits.

This was almost the same as the later SMS voting.

Recently, because the four kings competed for the top spot on the hit list, their brains almost came out.

Many girls in the school because of their respective The king he liked not only bought a large number of newspapers and cut out the voting positions, but also started a fight. It was once reported by major newspapers and weekly magazines in Hong Kong.

It is said that a female student who really liked a certain king stole the house of the king. With 100,000 yuan, I went out and bought 20,000 golden tune newspapers to vote.

You know, this golden tune newspaper costs 5 yuan a piece, which is two or three times more expensive than ordinary newspapers.

Little girls in ordinary schools , buying ten or twenty copies would be a big deal, and suddenly it was revealed that someone bought 20,000 copies to compete for the first place, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the fans of the other three kings, and they started to earn money one after another.

Some of them The reporter investigated that nearly 100,000 special voting newspapers have been sold in the past few days alone. There is still more than a month before the deadline. It is not impossible to exceed one million copies.

"Wouldn't this be a good idea?"

"After all, they will debut as a group in the future. If their fans compete with each other, it will not be very conducive to their future unity after their debut."

Li Zhi frowned. It is definitely profitable to make money with this voting method, but if we really do this, in the future, these little girls will not have to fight because of their support rate?

Little girls themselves like to be jealous and compare with each other. , because this destroys unity, it will have a huge impact on future debuts.

"Manager Li is right. I didn’t think it through well, so I’ll just do what you said and find a magazine to cooperate with.……"

"No, what you just said reminded me."

Li Zhi interrupted:"When we publish a trainee magazine, we can definitely find a printing factory to cooperate. We can just find a few people to typeset, write articles and take photos."

The cost of a good-quality color weekly is as high as 10 yuan, but it can be sold for 30 or even 50 yuan for takeout.

Even if the profit of the owner of the suspension is removed, the profit is more than double the cost.

Don't ask for more, a week If you sell 50,000 copies, 200,000 copies a month, you can basically deduct the trainee expenses. If you even produce some posters, photo albums, etc., you can start to make a profit.

"If you have any good ideas, sign them all!"

With a wave of her hand, Li Zhi also decided to sign high-quality trainee targets.

Regardless of success or failure, she would still be able to pay for the cost in the first year.

In this way, after the first day of the interview, she had ten Several individuals are optimistic about signing.

There will be several days to come, and I don’t know whether the final number will exceed 50 or even more.

………..

While Li Zhi was still interviewing trainees, (to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Chen, who was far away in the United States, also arrived in Seattle smoothly.

In a large hotel in Seattle.

Qingxia and Zhou Shengnan were reporting to Lin Chen on the situation of receiving the grand prize this time.

Because George, the former supervisor of the prize redemption center, contacted reporters to let the identity of the Qingxia Grand Prize winner be exposed in advance.

A foreigner won a grand prize of US$230 million in the United States. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

In the past two days, some bad words have appeared in many local newspapers.

However, Qingxia and Zhou Shengnan were not worried that these remarks would affect them.

After all, the next step was to hold a charity press conference to announce that all the money would be donated to the American Yichen Charitable Foundation.

In this way, the hatred value will not be so high, and it can also gain a wave of favor from ordinary people in the United States.

This is conducive to Lin Chen's plan to take the upper-level path in the United States.

The founder of a valuable charitable foundation or a pastor from the East, who is more popular with the big shots?

Of course it's the former.

Not to mention that when the two are combined, the influence will be even greater.

As for Lin Chen himself, he just took the opportunity of this charity conference to show his face a little bit, and then get some happiness points first.

Due to the lottery, his joy value was basically cleared. Although it has increased a lot during this period, it is only a few hundred thousand.

There is still a long way to go before we can re-engrave 10,000 joyful Buddha statues, so 083 will take advantage of this trip to the United States to gather more joy.

This afternoon.

In the venue provided by a large hotel in Seattle, several local newspapers, as well as a dozen major newspapers from Washington, New York and other regions, reporters from Fox TV, and local Seattle radio stations came to attend this charity conference.

Although the number of reporters attending was not large, the news media these days are still firmly in the hands of traditional media. Newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations, these three media organizations, can be said to have an unshakable status.

Therefore, the efficiency of dissemination is still very high.

In addition, the news that the first foreigner in the history of the American lottery won a jackpot of more than 100 million US dollars is quite a gimmick.

The companies behind Powerball, Super Lotto and other companies will definitely not miss this wave of popularity.

Attract foreigners who come to the United States for tourism or business to buy lottery tickets, maybe they can win big prizes?

You know, hundreds of millions of people come to the United States every year for tourism and business trips.

If each person buys a lottery ticket, it can also bring a lot of dividends to these lottery organizations.[]

Without keeping this group of people waiting for too long, Qingxia met with Zhou Shengnan and Thomas from Deloitte Accounting Firm.

"Click click click~~"

There was constant sound of taking pictures at the scene

"It’s really Qingxia!"The two Chinese reporters looked at each other. They didn't expect that the person who won the lottery was really Qingxia.

As one of the cities with the largest number of Chinese residents in the United States, Seattle is home to hundreds of thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese.

So many Chinese and overseas Chinese. Chinese Americans naturally gave birth to Chinese newspapers.

These two reporters are the staff of Seattle Chinese newspapers. The reason why they came to attend the press conference this time was because the Fox Television Network broadcast a video of the grand prize winner on a local TV station not long ago.

No. The young Chinese recognized this person as Qingxia, the popular actress in Hong Kong.

However, some people felt that it was just a similarity and not Qingxia herself. Such a hot topic naturally aroused the idea of ​​​​the Chinese newspaper and dispatched two people who were familiar with the environment of Hong Kong. Reporters came to interview.

At first glance, it turned out to be Qingxia Benxia!

"Dear journalist friends, I am very glad that you can come to participate in this charity conference. Qingxia

Luoluo said generously in English:"I am the grand prize winner of US$230 million this time, and I am very happy to win this grand prize." This is a lot of money, enough to support me for the rest of my life even if I retire right now."

There was laughter at the scene.

Just kidding, this is 230 million U.S. dollars. After deducting taxes, it must be half at least, right?

More than 100 million U.S. dollars, as long as It would be enough for a person to spend ten lifetimes without gambling.

"I am a devout Buddhist!"

Qingxia didn't explain Buddhism. After all, there are very few people with low education who can be reporters. Even if you don't understand the three major religions in the world, you must have heard of them.

"So, I am going to donate all the dollars from this lottery win to charity!"

Wow!

The scene was filled with excitement.

Did you hear that right?

Donate it all?"
