Hong Kong movies: Building a chaebol starts with taking over the Ni family

Chapter 41 This slot machine market is like a casino! alarmed the Governor!

Although the technology of VCD is not as good as DVD, the storage capacity is high, and the picture quality is stable

But it's cheaper, and this can be paid for by many people

At that time, another ordinary world, because VCDs are not limited by region codes like DVDs

So it can be played on any DVD player

On Hong Kong Island, many movies and audio-visual products are distributed on VCDs

Even in 04,05, the era when computers and the Internet were not fully popularized,

VCD is even in use in Asia, Southeast Asia, and some backward places

At its peak, domestic manufacturers could sell millions of units a year

And this VCD industry can even reach 10 billion a year

Now Ni Yongxin has such a first-mover technology

Take a 30% profit every year and earn more than 3 billion a year

Isn't that fragrant?

However, to be satisfied with such a system reward,

To shoot a movie, the box office must occupy more than 20 million

Although now is the most glorious time for Hong Kong Island films,

But at this time, only a movie that is a two-week movie will be a blockbuster

Zhou

Renfa, Zhou Xingchi, and Cheng Long,

Especially Xingye, one person can occupy the top four positions at the annual box office

At present, the money is there, but what is the theme of Yang?

Throwing money directly to invite celebrities, this is not okay,

The current Chenglong belongs to Golden Harvest, and Zhou Xingchi is Yongsheng Film

Zhou Renfa also belongs to the Shaw Brothers movie

Another is that if you throw money too high-profile at the beginning,

This will also inevitably trigger a revolt from the old forces

The film industry on Hong Kong Island is also quite special

Each film company has its own cinema chain

If several large companies don't even arrange their own votes,

The movie that was made at a great price can't be released and can't make money

Although it is said that the overseas box office is also very resistant,

But this is also in the case of local movies selling well

It's better to start making youth comedies

The total production cost of 200,3 million can be satisfied, and there is no need to poach people

You can go to the campus to recruit people at a very cheap price

The director, screenwriter, and Ni Yongxin can all come by themselves

He has watched a lot of this movie, and he also watched it in his previous life

After the actor crossed the Hong Kong comprehensive world,

The first movie that many people made money from, that is, this one

"Happy Ghost",

Low-cost, amateur-level actors,

In another plain world, the Golden Princess Film Company at the time,

I wasn't even optimistic about the movie and was unwilling to promote it

decided that he would lose money

There is also a famous one that was released together at that time

"Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" directed by Mak Shuangxiong

However, at that time, because of the novel subject matter, the unique campus funny style,

led to the hot sale of this youth campus comedy,

At that time, the box office was more than 18 million

Ni Yongxin believes that after he mastered the marketing techniques of his previous life,

With the introduction of gimmick promotion, the film easily hit the box office of 20 million without a problem

The top of the Pacific Peak, which is the residence of successive governors

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose sits in the center

The commander of the Western District, Wong Bing-yiu, was trembling

The assistant next to Li Wenbin was a little more usual

Huang Bingyao glanced at the people present, among the five districts on Hong Kong Island

Only he is qualified to come from Yau Tsim Mong District

Huang Bingyao was secretly surprised, this can't be a bad experience

There are either the director of the Department of Culture, the Department of Construction, or the people of the financial district

Financial Secretary Tsang Ying stood up and said with a report in his hand

"Since the first half of the year, we have seen a 21% year-on-year decrease in revenue," he said

"This February, is the first time we have recorded it,"

he said

"Least benefit from one month,"

The listener was sad, and all the personnel were surprised

Because Hong Kong Island is a free port, there are no tariffs on goods and goods

The only way the government spends is to sell land, and the other is to rely on the Jockey Club to collect taxes

The Jockey Club is the only place on Hong Kong Island where gambling is legal

Sales have always been on the rise, and now they are falling

This worries the people who eat government food

Harbour Governor MacLehose picked up the report and looked at it carefully

It seems that this thing is really hard to do

"Commissioner of Police, how do you explain this," MacLehose said

Edward spread his hands and said, "There is really no way to do this," he said

"This has been determined by our intelligence services a long time ago,"

he said

"But should this be a blow, or a forbearance,"

he said

"It's up to you to decide,"

he said

MacLehose glared at him and said, "What's there to worry about, aren't you just talking about it?"

Edward pushed his hands and said, "Let's listen to the opinions of the police officers in our jurisdiction," he said

Edward motioned for Wong Bingyao to say

Huang Bingyao was also very sincere, and pushed it to the deputy director Li Wenbin on the side and said

"My deputy probably knows a little better than we do,"

he said

Li Wenbin seems to be a person with special feelings, and he is a person who is willing to share

"Gentlemen, the income of our Jockey Club has decreased, probably because of this coin-operated slot machine,"

he said

Li Wenbin flipped through the notebook and said a sentence

"And the slot machine is manipulated like a small casino,"

he said

"The prize once every 1 minute, once every 5 minutes, it's too fast,"

"People are easily addicted?".

"Why didn't you police crack down?" questioned Edward.
