Chapter 43 Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction

"Do you want me to make a movie?" Seeing the Liu Hao brothers casually arranging the movie arrangements, Zeng Li, who was still confused after Liu Hao left, asked in confusion.

She had always felt that making movies was too far away for her, and she was already very satisfied if she could make a music video.

"Then do you want to make a movie?"

"I don't know..." Zeng Li was still unsure.

Liu Hao held Zeng Li's hand and asked, "Do you want to make a movie with me?"

Zeng Li looked at Liu Hao, who still looked like a Peking Opera princess, and nodded.

"That's it!"

"But I'm afraid that Teacher Chang Li won't allow me to go out to film." Zeng Li said worriedly.

"We haven't even finished the movie yet. If everything goes well, it will probably start filming after the summer vacation of 1998..." Liu Hao held Zeng Li's hand tightly, patted the back of her hand and continued, "As long as you

If you are willing, as long as you want, I will take care of all this, okay..."

Liu Hao said to him with great boyfriend power.

While Zeng Li was moved, Wang Jinghua also left very wisely.

Liu Hao moved closer and closer to Zeng Li.

"Come and give me your mouth..." Zeng Li obeyed, and Liu Hao poked Zeng Li's bulging cheek.

"It's disgusting, you're already an adult and still so childish..."

"Haha, I like it, let's do it..."

"No, you still have makeup on your face..."

"It's okay, the photos have been taken. I'll put on my makeup later..."

"I don't want to become a tabby cat..."

"Then I'm going to put on my makeup right now. You can help me put it on..."

"Okay, don't move your hands..."

"Hey, I wonder who will take the initiative later..."

"Hate…"

…..

Towards the end of the year, various data were summarized in front of Liu Hao.

The first is the mainland sales of Liu Hao's first album.

The sales of compact discs exceeded 350,000, and the sales of tapes exceeded 1.6 million!

This sales volume has greatly exceeded Liu Hao's expectations.

In the past six months, Liu Hao has either been studying acting at the Chinese Opera or busy with his second major on his days off. Except for official and necessary announcements, Liu Hao has almost disappeared from the media.

Without enough exposure, it would be difficult to achieve the album sales target.

But this is just Liu Hao’s opinion.

In fact, Liu Hao's exposure is enough.

Wahaha spent a lot of effort to advertise the purified water brand, and the sales of purified water increased significantly. As the advertising spokesperson, Liu Hao was naturally able to take a sip of the soup, so that the exposure rate remained high.

Of course, Liu Hao's high popularity has also greatly increased the sales of Wahaha purified water, which is mutually beneficial.

With Wang Jinghua's help, Liu Hao has re-signed an endorsement contract with Wahaha for five years, with a basic endorsement fee of one million per year, and a maximum additional endorsement fee of one million based on performance.

It already belongs to the treatment of a top star in this era.

Of course, the employees of Liu Hao's record company didn't have to work hard and worked hard to help Liu Hao maintain his popularity.

The actual popularity of the album is beyond Liu Hao's imagination.

In primary school, during the Children's Day talent show, some primary school students imitated the Wahaha commercial broadcast on TV and sang "Loving You Equals Loving Myself" by Liu Hao.

Although they still don't understand the meaning of love.

In junior high school, junior high school students rushed to copy Liu Hao's lyrics, discussed Liu Hao's affairs, watched, listened, sang Liu Hao's "Fairy Tale" and moved themselves to tears.

In high school, high school students who are just starting to fall in love compete to sing "Those Years". In college, some college students play and sing "Waiting for You After Class" with several adapted lyrics to express their love to the girl they like.

Teenagers on the street often hum the catchy song "Love Has to Be Done". Literary and artistic young people imitate Liu Hao's music videos and sit on stools on the streets or in bars and play and sing "Beijing" ("Chengdu") to indulge themselves. Young couples love to sing duets.

"A Little Sweet" expresses the sweetness in each other's hearts.

Urban white-collar workers like Liu Hao's "In Your Singing" and wear headphones to soothe their mood. There are also lonely middle-aged people who call and order "Lonely Sandbank Cold" in the dead of night, listening to the song and quietly lighting one for themselves.

cigarette….

It covers all aspects and is an almost comprehensive attack.

This is something Liu Hao didn't expect.

With nearly 2 million genuine albums sold in the mainland, coupled with the rampant pirated album sales, the actual sales may be close to 10 million!

Such horrific record sales have stunned almost all musicians, and many of them regret it.

Hong Kong and Taiwan record companies have also truly realized the horror of the mainland music market, accelerated their deployment in the mainland market, and have signed several potential singers.

There were even frequent contacts from major record companies, but Liu Haodu and Wang Jinghua declined.

Now that you can be the master of your own country, why should you act like a dog to others and be looked down upon by others?

Although Liu Hao's announcement of the delay of his second album has attracted a lot of abuse and ridicule from fans, more fans are still eagerly looking forward to it.

The booming sales also made Liu Hao a lot of money.

Liu Hao's record company has a revenue of more than 10 million and an after-tax profit of more than 10 million.

After Liu Hao discussed with his father, he distributed a bonus of 6 million with a wave of his hand. Every employee of the record company received a large bonus, and Liu Hao himself also received a bonus of more than 3 million.

Four million of the personal share of the record has been deposited into the account, which is after-tax income.

In addition to the income from previous commercial performances, advertising and other announcements, minus the more than 4 million yuan for buying a house, the 500,000 yuan invested in Zhang Yang's film, the 300,000 yuan donated, and daily consumption, Liu Hao still has

More than 3.2 million.

3.2 million in 1996!

It's a bit hot to handle a huge amount of money, and it's a bit of a loss if you keep it in the bank.

But investment must be cautious. Liu Hao dare not put money in the stock market. In his previous life, Liu Hao was called the beacon of the stock market. Every stock he bought glowed green. He was still an old leek...

It's a pity that Ermao is still dormant. I don't know if Brother Dong has gone to Zhongguancun.

In your previous life, you worked for Brother Dong and you were not treated as a brother. In this rebirth, you will definitely have Brother Dong work for you. If you don’t work hard, you will also have a taste of how it feels to not be treated as a brother!

The "Boundless Film and Television Investment and Production Company" that Wang Jinghua helped register has now only invested 500,000 yuan in Zhang Yang's film, and is managed by his father. It has few employees and is a proper leather company.

Film and television production does not live up to its name.

After reading his elder brother's movie script and production plan, and being able to assemble his own crew, Liu Hao began to recognize his elder brother's ability as a director.

The most critical points in film and television production are funding, directors and actors.

The eldest brother can direct and act. Wang Jinghua has already started to set up an artist management company, and she has funds on hand.

Nothing is missing.

Then why not sign your eldest brother to your own company and start directly involved in film and television production.

If brothers work together, they can make a profit. If I sincerely invite you, your eldest brother will definitely not shirk and will definitely join your company.

I will definitely not be stingy with shares.

It is not impossible to let dad manage it and control the general direction by himself, so that it can become bigger and stronger.

Thinking about it, Liu Hao felt anxious and immediately called his elder brother.

As expected, the eldest brother quickly replied and agreed, and brought Liu Hao news of film investment.

"Brother, are you saying that Mr. Han is willing to invest in your movie?" Liu Hao said unexpectedly.

The eldest brother on the other end of the phone nodded and said: "He was very satisfied with my movie script and production plan and was willing to support me as a junior..."

Although the mainland film market has begun to reform, it will still have to wait until next year in 1997. The Radio, Film and Television Administration announced that "state-owned film units, TV stations, and TV drama production units at or above the provincial level and meeting the corresponding conditions at the prefectural and municipal levels can apply to the Film Bureau for story film lists.

Only after the policy of "Film Production License" is the participation of social capital in film production guaranteed.

In other words, now in the Mainland, you can open a film and television company and invest in film and television dramas, but you cannot produce film and television dramas.

But now it's not so strict. Basically, you just turn a blind eye and choose to make movies by affiliated with major film studios, even if the film studios don't participate in the production.

For example, the production company for Zhang Yang's "Love Malatang" was Chang'an Film Studio, while the eldest brother chose Beijing Film Studio.

After all, the eldest brother hasn't signed a contract with his own company yet, and is still working at Beijing Film Studio.

And Mr. Han is still the director of Beijing Film Studio, so he can be regarded as eldest brother’s old boss.

If the eldest brother wants to use the Beijing Film Studio's name to produce a film, he must get Master Han's permission.

The eldest brother continued: "However, the factory has limited funds. Master Han can only support us with 500,000, but he will support me in other aspects, such as film review, distribution, theaters, etc., so you know..."

Liu Hao replied: "It doesn't matter if you have a larger share. I still have more than three million here, is that enough?"

Being picked up by Mr. Han shows that Big Brother's movie has great potential, and with his help, it's almost impossible for Big Brother's movie to hit the streets.

Coupled with the brotherhood, Liu Hao is willing to fully support his eldest brother this time.

"I didn't expect you to be so rich. If I had known, I wouldn't have worked so hard to attract investment," the elder brother laughed and scolded on the other end.

But he immediately continued: "Film investment is risky. I don't want to squander all the hard-earned money you earned from singing. The investment of three million in my movie is enough. I have accepted investment from Huayi Brothers before. If you

If you want to support me, big brother, at most one million is enough..."

After chatting with his elder brother on the phone, Liu Hao was in a good mood and continued to read the information and data.

Liu Hao's previous poverty donation of 300,000 yuan has been put in place. Under Liu Hao's special instructions, Wang Jinghua specially sent people to monitor the flow of funds, and two teaching buildings named after Liu Hao will be built soon.

Liu Hao was very satisfied and wrote "plus 200,000" after the word "300,000" on the paper.

After thinking about it, I felt it was a bit inappropriate, so I donated 100,000 yuan to each of my alma maters, including the Chinese Opera.

With hundreds of thousands left as spare, and about one million left, Liu Hao planned to find professional investors to ask about investment matters. If it didn't work out, he would buy a few more houses and stockpile them.

You definitely won’t lose money buying a house in Beijing.

Some are satisfied and some are dissatisfied.

In the chairman's room of Huayi Brothers, Xiao Wang vented his dissatisfaction.

"I just said they are a bunch of wolves who can't get enough to eat..."

The king glared at Xiao Wang, "How many times have I told you, don't be alarmed when doing things, don't be alarmed when doing things, just sit down and talk!"

Xiao Wang calmed down, obviously a little unconvinced.

The king ignored him and just asked: "What happened?"

Xiao Wang pouted and said: "Liu Hao's eldest brother Liu Kai is only willing to accept our investment of 1.5 million, and he rejected my invitation."

The king wondered: "What's going on? Isn't his movie budget three million?"

"It's 3 million, but now he only accepts 1.5 million from us. His brother invested 1 million for him, and Mr. Han from Beijing Film Studio invested 500,000 for him..."

Hearing that Master Han had invested, the king fell into a brief thought, and then asked: "Then why did he reject our invitation?"

"Is it because you have a bad attitude?" The king added. He, Ou Doudou, likes to be emotional. He has always hated Liu Hao's father Liu Jianguo, and he was also unhappy with Liu Hao's two brothers.

"No way, brother, I sincerely invited him according to your request, but he refused and planned to start a film and television production company with his brother..."

"He clearly knows that we are going to set up a film and television production company. Isn't this an obvious attempt to tear us down and slap us in the face..." Xiao Wang began to complain again.

The king pretended not to hear, and put his fingers on his chin, deep in thought, saying: "They are so optimistic about the film and television market, it seems that I am too slow..."

"What are you talking about, second brother? Can you speak louder..."

The king warned: "When you make an appointment with Liu Kai later, tell him that the money invested is like water poured out, and the remaining 1.5 million will be used as an investment in his next movie."

Although 1.5 million is a huge amount of money, the total investment money comes from Liu Hao's record company anyway, so the king doesn't care.

"What, second brother, I heard you right," Xiao Wang couldn't believe it and said angrily, "second brother, others have slapped you in the face, and you still show your face again. If you ask me, you should give all the money

Want to come back…”

"Forget it, I'll make an appointment with him myself," the king waved, indicating that the matter would be over.

But this made Xiao Wang's dissatisfaction even more intense.

"Don't you have any surprises to tell me?" the king asked again.

"I have already connected with the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City. PolyGram's president Zheng Donghan is willing to help us and introduce us..."

"Oh, what does he want?"

"He wants to acquire our shares in Liu Hao Records..."

"Is this what you call a surprise? Humph!"

"We can negotiate. He said the price will definitely satisfy us..."
