Chapter 63 No Problem "Three Thousand Words"
Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help thinking, if the competition is divided into two age groups, will it attract some adults to participate?
People are very bored these days, and entertainment resources are scarce. It can be seen from the martial arts movies of Shaw Brothers movies. In Chen Yi's opinion, those old martial arts movies are still popular with many people.
Imagine, in the bitterly cold winter, everyone queues up to buy tickets at the entrance of the cinema, waiting to watch the movie.
In this situation, Boss Chen wants to...
Ahem, Boss Chen is just thinking about it. It is obviously impossible and inappropriate for adults to participate in this kind of toy competition played by children.
However, since everyone is so eager for the grand prize, those parents with children will definitely not be stingy.
After all, things that cost one or two yuan are not expensive.
Buy a Rubik's Cube for your child, which can exercise your child's hands-on and brain skills, and at the same time peek at the grand prize. Why not do it?
Tread—
Heard footsteps going upstairs
Chen Ying said, "Is Miss Wenhui here?"
Chen Yi turned his head to look at the stairs
Soon, Li Wenhui appeared in front of everyone.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Mother Chen smiled and said, "It's not too late, please sit down, Wenhui!"
Seeing that Qi Dahai didn't follow, Chen Yi asked Li Wenhui to sit down while asking, "Did Uncle Qi follow?"
Li Wenhui put down her bag and said, "He's downstairs, he's already had dinner, so don't bother."
After listening, Chen Yi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"How is business today?"
"I've been busy until now, I've been tired all day."
"More than 32,000 Rubik's Cubes were sold today, and there are 8,000 Rubik's Cube Restoration Manuals. The difference is 400 yuan, and the income is 70,000."
"So much?" Li Wenhui was a little surprised when she heard the figures. She earned 70,000 a day, so wouldn't the monthly revenue exceed one million?
However, Chen Yi's next sentence woke Li Wenhui up.
Chen Yidao: "Xiangjiang has such a small population, so we can't sell many Rubik's Cubes. After the first wave of craze passes, we won't be able to make so much money."
Li Wenhui: "Then what are you going to do next?"
Chen Yi said while eating: "Next, I plan to expand the factory, recruit employees, and store as many Rubik's Cube toys as possible."
Li Wenhui frowned: "Is it too risky?"
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "Adventure? No, is it a risk? We'll know after the next half month's sales. As long as Rubik's Cube can sell well in Xiangjiang, the Asian market will be stable."
As a transit station in Asia and a wind vane, every move of Xiangjiang is guiding the direction of the Asian economy.
Whether it is the economic level or the cultural level, Xiangjiang’s influence in Asia during this period is very huge.
Generally speaking, whatever is popular in Hong Kong, other countries in Asia will follow suit.
The Rubik's Cube toy has been verified in the previous life, as long as he can make the Rubik's Cube toy famous in Xiangjiang, then he will not worry about no sales.
Now he is not afraid that the Rubik's Cube toy will not be sold, but that once the Rubik's Cube toy becomes famous, it will be too late for production.
As early as last week, he had already placed a new order with the mold factory. Next, Dafeng Toys Factory will expand its scale by at least two to three times, and at the same time, it will continue to produce around the clock.
If it wasn't for the limited funds, he would have wanted to buy all the toy factories that went bankrupt due to the stock market crash.
Of course, these things are not in a hurry. The stock market crash has just begun. After the stock market crash is over, there will be an oil crisis. The decline in the Hang Seng Index will continue until next year. Now those toy factories are still sold at cost prices. After a few months, they will all become The price of cabbage is gone.
In this era without the Internet, if you want to make something popular, it will be impossible to achieve it within a year or so.
After eating
Li Wenhui didn't leave right away, she didn't meet Chen Yi for many days, but she was holding back something and wanted to tell Chen Yi.
After saying hello to Chen's father, Chen's mother and others, the two left hand in hand, because it was already a busy day, and Chen Yi really didn't have the energy to go shopping, so he found a movie theater and brought Li Wenhui Go to the movies.
At the entrance of Shaw Brothers Cinema, Chen Yi bought two movie tickets from an old scalper. To Chen Yi's surprise, the show in Shaw Brothers Movie Theater was not a martial arts movie.
A comedy film starring Xu Guanwen, one of the Xu brothers, called "The Great Warlord". It was adapted by the famous Shaw Brothers director Li Hanxiang based on many anecdotes and interesting histories of the Republic of China. It can be regarded as a collection of the three major warlords Zhang Zongchang (Three Ignorances, Hongri Prayer for Rain, and Filial Piety to His Stepfather), Han Fuju (Sex & Addiction Trial, Oolongs), and Sun Dianying (Stealing Dongling).
The film adopts an excerpt structure, stringing various jokes and anecdotes together. Although it is loose, under the direction of Li Hanxiang, who is good at describing the world and paying attention to details, even Chen Yi can't help but be amused after watching it.
About the three major warlords, what Chen Yi remembers the most is Zhang Zongchang, a great warlord poet. This Xiaokun (Xiaokun is the character of the warlord Zhang Zongchang) poem notes can be described as a highlight.
Through many warlords in the Republic of China, this boss successfully entered the attention of future generations with his unique style of poetry, leaving a strong mark in history.
Basically just read it once and you can memorize it
High imitation version of Dafengge
I also write a big song "Author Zhang Zongchang"
The cannon fires and blasts his mother,
Vega Haineixi returns home.
Number of heroes, Zhang Zongchang,
Ande's giant whale swallows hibiscus.
Let’s not talk about it, the lines of this poem are quite smooth and there is nothing wrong with it.
Especially the last line, it can be called the crowning touch of the whole poem, echoing the first sentence, especially the last three words, it can be described as shocking, weeping ghosts and gods, unprecedented, never seen again...
Among them, the simple word "swallow" contains the essence of my culture and national sentiment for five thousand years. This word alone is enough to prove that the author of this poem is absolutely extraordinary.
Finally, the whole poem is easy to understand, catchy to read, majestic and majestic.
In Boss Chen's view, Poet Zhang is simply a genius, a talent that is rare in a hundred years.
If you don’t believe me, let’s continue to appreciate another masterpiece of this song “You Taishan”.
Looking at Mount Tai from a distance,
The upper head is thinner and the lower head is thicker.
If you turn Mount Tai upside down,
The lower head is thinner than the upper head is thicker.
This poem, ahem, is there nothing wrong with it?
Our great poet Zhang still has the potential to be an observer. A simple poem describes the appearance of Mount Tai.
Talents, unborn talents.
Okay, let’s stop talking about this kid.
Although the film was released as early as last year, as one of the top three blockbuster discourse films last year, coupled with the small number of Shaw Brothers comedies, Shaw Brothers will release it intermittently every once in a while.
For Boss Shao's way of making money, Chen Yi had to say he admired him. It's no wonder that Shaw Brothers movies will be closed later if the movie is made like him.
Or the monopoly of giant companies can easily cause an industry to stagnate and stagnate. In the golden age of film in the 1980s and 1990s, apart from the rapid economic development of Xiangjiang, it was the competition between filmmakers and the capital behind them.
For movies, Chen Yi is not very interested. He mainly wants to build movie theaters. To be honest, the current movie theaters in Xiangjiang are really bad experience. It is completely different from those movie theaters in the later generations that are concentrated in commercial plazas.
In the next 20 years, Xiangjiang Films will be a big cake. If you master the theater chain, you will have the opportunity to participate in and share this big cake.
The Xu Brothers are a cash cow. Xu's comedy and humorous style can be said to be a highlight of Xiangjiang movies, especially in the 1970s, which can be said to be a very prosperous generation.
The Xu brothers, civil and military heroes, except for the second brother Xu Guanwu who is mainly engaged in behind-the-scenes work, the other three are well-known comedians who are popular.
Xu Guanwen was the most influential comedian in Xiangjiang before Zhou Xingxing appeared.
Xu Guanjie is the Xiangjiang movie star who has the most (eight) annual box office champion films among the Hong Kong movie stars.
Xu Guanying's personality is full of clowns, which impresses the audience deeply, and there are countless wonderful performances.
In the 1970s when Xiangjiang’s economy took off, the local culture of Xiangjiang began to become popular, and the Xu brothers were the important founders of Xiangjiang’s popular culture. Hui Guanjie’s Cantonese slang songs created the trend of popular Cantonese songs that have been popular for decades.
The Hsu Brothers Film Company created a series of ghost comedies such as "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" and "Half a Catty Two", which not only created box office legends, but also successfully revived the lingering Cantonese films.
If such a group of brothers can be brought together, they will definitely only make money and not lose money.
As for how to win over, there is definitely no chance now, but he has no chance, and neither does Golden Harvest.
Because the Xu Brothers will have to wait until next year to leave Shaw Brothers Films and set up their own film company.
A year is neither long nor short.
As long as you make good use of it, you may not have the opportunity to enter the film circle.
As for saying that if you don’t understand movies, you can’t enter the movies, that’s pure nonsense. Later, Boss Golden Princess Lei, and Mr. Pan, who took over Shaw Cinemas, both don’t understand movies either.
It was these two people, one supported the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City, the other supported Debao's big brother Sammo Hung, and continued to practice Tai Chi with Jiahe, no one could do anything to the other.
Movies are all about capital and money.
It doesn’t matter whether the boss understands movies or not, as long as he has money, there are plenty of professionals who know how to manage it.
It doesn't matter if the movie doesn't make money. In his previous life, Master Pan didn't make movies to make money, but to promote his company's various brands.
Star effect, with the rise of the film industry in the future, the influence of stars will become greater and greater. The preferences of stars will form a trend. Entering the film industry will be able to pinch the veins of actors and stars.
