Backdoor listing is a relatively common operation. What Zhao Mingyang is interested in is not that this company can be listed through backdoor listing, but that this company has a large number of artists who have been in the industry for many years.
The average age of these celebrities is almost 40+, and there is basically no market here. On Hong Kong Island, not only local stars are competing for the market, but also Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States and other places are coming to compete for the market.
Moreover, many celebrities here have become obsolete, similar to some artists of the older generation of domestic entertainment, such as those stars in the 1990s. Many people today simply don’t remember, or even recall, some singers whose songs have become popular all over the country.
Now no one cares about it.
Many Hong Kong entertainment industry artists who are familiar to mainland audiences, the works everyone watched at that time were all made in the 1980s and 1990s. Around the turn of the millennium, a large number of Hong Kong entertainment industry artists completely disappeared.
This group of artists basically receive a job occasionally and then work as usual. Except for evergreen trees such as biweekly 10%, most of the artists have no market. Mainland audiences think that some artists should be very big in Hong Kong Island, but in fact they are just that.
Angry.
Just like the original golden girl singer who was basically a household name in the domestic entertainment industry, no one paid attention to her later. There are only a handful of evergreens in the entertainment industry who have been popular for twenty years.
The reason why mainland audiences think that many artists are still popular in Hong Kong is that most of them saw their works from the 1980s and 1990s on TV only after the turn of the millennium. There is a time difference.
For example, many TV stations are still broadcasting Hong Kong dramas from the 1980s in 0405. This kind of time difference has caused misunderstandings. In fact, a group of artists have been out of fashion on Hong Kong Island for a long time.
Therefore, after the millennium, a large number of Hong Kong artists came to the mainland. To be precise, this is the case for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.
How much income do they earn in the Mainland? Ten days of work fees are more than what they earn in a year in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is not a secret in the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is why mainland audiences say that some Hong Kong and Taiwan artists come to make money, because in
Their income in Hong Kong and Taiwan is similar to that of ordinary migrant workers, without any explosive income.
The main reason is that in the early years of Hong Kong Entertainment, the 1980s and 1990s were the peak period. Hong Kong Entertainment was the strongest in Asia during that period and was known as the Hollywood of the East.
At that time, their market was the whole of Asia. R's music was strong at that time, but the entire entertainment market was far behind Hong Kong Entertainment. The main reason was that Hong Kong Entertainment was creating stars in batches, one after another, and Hong Kong Entertainment was the strongest.
It’s not the Hong Kong Philharmonic, but the film industry on Hong Kong Island.
Top screenwriters, top directors, and top actors appear one after another, one after another, all converging on Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong Entertainment actually didn't make much money in the mainland market at that time. Basically, everyone watched pirated movies and TV shows, and many of the songs they listened to were pirated.
At that time, Hong Kong Entertainment was making money from other regions in Asia, especially money from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
For example, all the posters posted on the streets of Han Country belonged to my brother and Zu Xian. Uncle Long’s popularity in Japan and South Korea at that time could simply be described as crazy.
This is also why many celebrities did not dare to disclose their relationships easily in the future. The reason was that when Uncle Long disclosed his relationship, there were fans on R’s side who couldn’t accept it...
There were some bad dramas, and later most celebrities did not dare to open their relationships easily. At that time, the entertainment center of Asia was Hong Kong Island, which is why Hong Kong Island appeared in many anime, Japanese comics, and film and television dramas.
At that time, Hong Kong Entertainment had no rivals in the entire Asian market, so a group of actors and directors went to Hollywood to seek greater breakthroughs, because they were on their own and could only increase their popularity by going out.
But it was precisely because of this period that Hong Kong Entertainment was stolen. Japan and South Korea began to make efforts to create stars. They began to occupy the Asian market. Europe and the United States also saw the huge cake in the Asian market and began to come over to share the cake.
Many people in Hong Kong entertainment have gone to the United States to make a career. If they succeed, they will say it. If they don’t, they won’t. If they say they want to study there, most of those who say they want to study abroad have never made it.
It was during this period that Hong Kong Entertainment opened up a huge market for other companies to share.
Especially in the film and television industry, the dividing line was set after 1995. The Asian market was crazily occupied by Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea. It was too late for those in the Hong Kong circle to make efforts again, because Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States joined forces.
European and American style music became popular, and European and American teams helped Japan and South Korea shoot movies and come up with themes for post-production. In the past, European and American film and television dramas were not very popular in Asia because they were not accustomed to the climate. But to change their thinking, Sonn and Seven Stars have successively acquired European and American film and television and
music company.
Bring the employees here to work together on film, television, music, and entertainment operations. The strength of Europe and the United States is capital operation. A large number of screenwriters in the Hong Kong circle have been poached, leaving the Hong Kong circle basically an empty shell.
A large number of employees are out of work, and Japan and South Korea are making stars much faster than Hong Kong entertainment. Hong Kong entertainment is experiencing a shortage of jobs. Coupled with the marketing operations that Europe and the United States are good at, the Asian market is quickly taken over.
At this time, a large number of Hong Kong practitioners thought of the mainland market and rushed to the mainland to film movies around the turn of the millennium. The mainland's economy grew explosively after the millennium, the demand for entertainment was high enough and there was money.
At first, Fat Mantis wanted to risk its life to hold on to Hong Kong entertainment, but in the end it was unable to save it, so it brought a group of people to the mainland, but what it could bring was only the top ones, because there was a market for those people in the mainland, and the rest were basically still in Hong Kong.
Island mix.
When the Hong Kong circle came to the mainland, R originally had no market due to some historical reasons, but Han Guo took advantage of the loophole and sent a large number of idols.
This is also why Milk Tea Lun has such a high status in the music scene, because at that time, the entire Chinese music scene had never seen singers and dancers like Han Guo come in batches. There were more than ten or twenty people in a team, all of them were handsome boys and beauties. They
He also knows how to operate and create characters. He also directly purchased European, American and Japanese copyrights for music and directly adapted it, so he has plenty of ammunition.
At that time, the streets were full of songs and posters of Korean boy and girl groups for sale. Just when Korean entertainment was just emerging, the Chinese music "milk tea rhyme" appeared, which seemed to be a kind of calling. After the emergence of milk tea run, a large number of Chinese original musicians seemed to
They were all inspired by the small universe, and they directly cheated and maintained the Chinese music scene at that time.
But all this has nothing to do with the artists who stayed on Hong Kong Island. They still get off work in and out of work with fixed companies. There is no job for them in the film and television industry, and there is no job for them in the music industry. Young men in their twenties have now become 30 or 40 years old. I am an old man now. The old uncles have now become old men.
The original girl has become an aunt, and the aunt has become a grandma. There are still many of these people in Hong Kong entertainment. Most of them are supporting roles or people who have been popular and then out of fashion.
What Zhao Mingyang wants is that this company has contracts with a large number of these artists, and they want to renew them. This group of artists is not good at anything else, and there are many well-known characters in the mainland.
Zhao Mingyang wants to use them to create greater value, but Zhao Mingyang can't say that to this company. He can only say that he wants to buy this company and list it through a backdoor, otherwise the other party will raise the price if they find something fishy.
After buying it, Zhao Mingyang will sign a ten-year contract with these artists, with a maximum value of ten years, and give them a high monthly fee. For example, if they can earn 20,000 yuan a month now, give them 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
January.
This group of people don't know how valuable they are. In his previous life, Zhao Mingyang knew very well that these outdated supporting actors could sell tens of millions of goods in a live broadcast. The premise is that most of them only bring goods once and then lose their popularity.
, but they are well-known and can help other Internet celebrities in the company make jokes.
They can also go to wedding celebrations, make blessing videos and sell them, and participate in some nostalgic variety shows.
In the future, domestic entertainment will focus on the nostalgic style for a period of time. All major variety shows will do this type of show, and they can still make a fortune. As for the future of domestic entertainment, Zhao Mingyang doesn't care, he just wants to make money.
Making money is the kingly way. Zhao Mingyang doesn't want to think about other emotions, because the moment he sells his feelings, he is making money.
Zhao Mingyang plans to make money by selling feelings. Selling feelings is the easiest way to make money, because buyers are embarrassed to say so and feel that the money is not worth the money.
Zhao Mingyang can earn hundreds of millions by making a movie with these artists together, and his slogan is to pay for youth.
Attending the auction in the evening, Zhao Mingyang wore a black suit and arrived at the venue on time. There were hundreds of bodyguards inside and outside the auction venue. They were all people worth over tens of billions.
Even billions of people couldn't come to this place. Zhao Mingyang saw some acquaintances, including Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing was also surprised why Zhao Mingyang came here. Zhao Mingyang whispered: "Someone asked me to come."
In fact, Xu Qingqing didn't want Zhao Mingyang to come here, because a sum of money from the Xu family was enough. She felt sorry for Zhao Mingyang's money. Ren Jiani from the Ren family also came, and each family pushed out the younger generation.
Zhao Mingyang and Xu Qingqing were not sitting in the same place. The rows of boxes all had doorways. Xu Qingqing was sitting in a box with the word "Xu" and another word hanging on the door, while Zhao Mingyang's box had the word "Xu" hanging on the door.
The characters Zhao and Wu are one character on each side of the door.
Zhao Mingyang also knew for the first time who was behind Xu Qingqing's family. The other families now also knew who belonged to which family. All the doors were open, there was no obstruction, it was a circular venue, and everyone could see it.
each other's faces.
Zhao Mingyang didn't like this feeling very much, and probably everyone present felt the same, but this was the most intuitive way for people to see whose family you were from.
Zhao Mingyang saw many familiar faces, and they were also staring at Zhao Mingyang, a young boy.
The only advantage of this is that when each company wants to attack another company, it will consider who is behind it, and some industries may not do it.
They were all sitting on the second floor. The auctioneer was standing in the middle of the first floor. After the auctioneer briefly introduced the rules, Zhao Mingyang realized something was wrong.
Why are there still online people involved? Are these online people the backers behind each company? If the other party is not satisfied with the bid, they will bid?
As Zhao Mingyang expected, this was indeed the case. Because there was no child care present, there were just a few people. Zhao Mingyang counted almost fifty people, one for each small stall. Zhao Mingyang didn't recognize many of them and didn't know who they were.
But Zhao Mingyang saw a child sitting in a box with the word Chen written on it. A very young boy. Xu Qingqing said that he was the son of the owner of Lingshi Palace. Zhao Mingyang was also confused, so he asked
Such a young child coming here?
This kid is calm enough, sitting there in a dignified manner, not panicking at all. Does the boss behind Lingshi Palace want to train a kid to take his place and retire early?
When it came to Zhao Mingyang's auction, Zhao Mingyang directly bid 100 million instead of 50 million, because he saw that others were starting with 100 million, and he couldn't be an outlier. Asking for 50 million seemed to make Wu Zhonghua lose his reputation.
When the auction ended, Zhao Mingyang did not see the picture of everyone gathering together happily. Xu Qingqing came over and whispered to Zhao Mingyang: "Everyone avoids suspicion. Usually eating and drinking together can be said to be business dealings. At this time,
Whoever gets close to whom will be afraid of being stabbed in the back in the future.
And it can also leave a way out for yourself. For example, if your backend fails and you defect to my backstage, then you can say that you wanted to join me in the first place, but your backstage doesn’t allow it. You understand, you are leaving a way for yourself.
.
For people like you and me, there is basically no way to avoid it. We all know that we are together. If we deliberately avoid it in life, others will think that the person behind us may not be able to deal with it, or maybe I have a conflict with you.
, these people’s eyes were all shining brightly.
Mr. Wu has gone to great lengths for you. I told my parents that they couldn’t believe it because many people wanted to get in touch with Mr. Wu, but he didn’t agree. My parents asked you to treat Mr. Wu well.
, he is highly respected and has a large number of disciples, so he is considered a person with a relatively strong voice in the circle."
"I know, I was thinking, this money is really easy to make. I made more than several hundred million in cash in a short time." Zhao Mingyang said.
"That's not true. This money is enough for a medium-sized enterprise to earn in a lifetime, but it may not be possible to earn it.
Even for a big company, this is a huge amount of money, which is equivalent to an ordinary person’s net worth of three million, but the house takes up 2.6 million, the car takes up 200,000, and after paying off credit cards and other debts, there is almost only
If you take out 50,000 to 60,000 yuan and make 30,000 yuan, you still have another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It is really not that easy to make another 30,000 yuan.
In fact, most of the money is not cash flow. You can feel at ease when you have cash flow in hand. But there is no choice. Our family has five times more money than yours this time. What can we say? Don’t worry about it. Buy Ping An. We all have it.
I bought Ping An Incense to keep me safe." Xu Qingqing said.
Zhao Mingyang estimated that this group of people had the same idea. To outsiders, they all looked very rich, but in reality they didn’t have that much to use. Moreover, the company was not a personal property and could be sold at any time. If you have the money, you should divide it up.
, keep some for yourself, that’s almost enough.
Wu Zhonghua was really nice to Zhao Mingyang. He didn't ask for the money. He directly transferred it to the Youth Chamber of Commerce for charity. It's hard to say about other families. Zhao Mingyang thought that the Xu family started at 500 million. It was really not a big deal.
It's a small amount.
"Zhao Mingyang, stand at the pillar." A voice suddenly came from behind.
Zhao Mingyang looked back and saw that it was Ren Jiani.
Xu Qingqing also looked at Ren Jiani. She really remembered this girl. They had met her at a party when they were children. This girl was very naughty. Xu Qingqing also met her once when she was in middle school, attending an elderly party.
At the birthday banquet, Xu Qingqing and this girl almost got into a fight over a gift given by a host.
The last time we met was probably the previous time. We went to a wedding banquet that we had to attend. The boss's son was getting married. Xu Qingqing's family and Ren Jiani's family both went.
At that time, Xu Qingqing and Ren Jiani were still sitting at the junior table. They didn't say a word and looked at each other unfavorably.
Zhao Mingyang didn't know that these two people had this story, but after thinking about it, he understood that they were all in the same circle, and it was inevitable that they would meet at some wedding banquets, because the wedding banquets they attended were probably at the homes of the big guys behind the auction.
wedding banquet.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Mingyang looked at Ren Jiani and asked.
"Isn't it okay for me to call you? Why did you run when you saw me? What do you mean, are you afraid that others will know what we have?" Ren Jiani walked towards Zhao Mingyang and said.
"We have nothing." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Hey~ Men are all the same. They love the new and hate the old. When you find a new love, you forget about the old love. We were so happy when we were together, so we turned our backs and refused to admit it." Ren Jiani said with aggrieved face.
Zhao Mingyang looked at Xu Qingqing and said, "Do you believe me when I tell you that she spread rumors?"
"Believe it, why don't you believe it? Some people look at eighty when they are three years old. When they were children, someone else clearly grabbed the gift first. Someone can say that he got it first." Xu Qingqing looked at Ren Jiani and said.
"The little fat guy has grown up and his mouth has become more powerful." Ren Jiani said.
"Who are you talking about, the little fat guy?" Xu Qingqing glared at Ren Jiani and said.
"Whoever admits it is his fault. Anyway, I remember that I grabbed that gift, and it was the little fat guy who said he grabbed it." Ren Jiani said.
When Zhao Mingyang saw it, something was wrong. Why were these two people so angry?
He didn't know that before he came, Ren Jiani's car and Xu Qingqing's car were scratched. Both parties said it was the other's fault, but they endured it in order to rush for time.
When they arrived at the venue, the two argued again. They cleared up old scores about Chen Zhizhi's rotten millet, including some things that happened when they were young. If an elder hadn't come out to persuade them to make peace and let them separate, they would have been arrested on the spot.
It’s not just this time that these two people have been in a group, a group belonging to the younger generation in their inner circle, and they have sparred with each other before.
These two people have been feuding for a long time, but they never got into a fight.
Both sides disliked each other. At this time, Zhao Mingyang was in the middle and felt panicked.
"Is she your fiancée? Her eyesight is getting worse and worse. It's time to go see an ophthalmologist." Ren Jiani fired first. She was still angry about the car's scratches. She firmly believed that her driving skills were fine and it was all because of Xu Qingqing.
Girls are terrible at technology and they still refuse to admit it.
Zhao Mingyang took a breath, did he fire so directly? He looked at Xu Qingqing and found that Xu Qingqing had two words "fire" written all over her face.
Zhao Mingyang has never seen Xu Qingqing like this. Women's war is very scary. He wants to leave temporarily, because if he doesn't leave, he will definitely suffer.
