561 The Law of the Septwolves and the Surrounding of Immortals
"call…"
Cao Xuan blew away the non-existent dust, wiped the Huabiao Best Actor Trophy in his hand with a handkerchief, and then placed it in a glass cabinet
Take two steps back, touch your chin and quietly admire the row of Best Actor trophies.
Not to mention, although the reminder of the Huabiao Award is small, it looks like a small Huabiao column, with dragons and phoenixes on the column, auspicious clouds carved on it, and the whole body is golden. It is definitely the most beautiful among these trophies.
"Don't look at it. I've been playing around with it for a day at home and I'm still not tired of updating it."
Zeng Li, who had returned home from the filming of "Sword Rain", saw this scene while leaning against the door and couldn't help but complain.
Cao kept saying that he didn't care much about the Huabiao Award, and he boasted that he was the best actor, but his body was very honest, and the trophy was almost reflective when he touched it.
"You are jealous."
Cao Xuan ignored her, turned around and hugged his precious daughter who was climbing the threshold with short legs, pointing at the various trophies in a row, with great pride,
"Look, this is your father's medal of honor."
"Want to play,"
Little Cao Li grabbed the trophy, and Cao Xuan quickly took it away.
Yesterday, when he came back from receiving the award, his daughter wanted to play with the trophy, but he didn't take it seriously. As a result, he didn't notice and dropped it.
Fortunately, the child was not very strong and could only make a small mark, otherwise he would have to contact the organizer to ask if he could exchange the trophy.
"Go on and say something."
Zeng Li sneered, Cao Xuan ignored her and took a few Barbie dolls to coax his daughter who was clamoring for the trophy.
Ignoring the girl who was struggling to break the baby's thighs, Yan Xuan turned to look at Nishinomiya Empress: "Are you going to Japan this time? I will take you to play."
"I'm not going. Then you'll only be busy with the movie, and you'll be sneaking around for two days. It's boring."
Zeng Li took his daughter and asked her not to bite the baby: "After several months of filming, I want to get close to the child. Besides, Yuan Quan is getting married soon, so I have to help."
"That's okay."
Cao Xuan didn't hesitate. Now his popularity in Japan is not much worse than that in China. It would be really inconvenient for him to travel there with Zeng Li.
After teasing his daughter for a while, Zhang Chong called to report and finalize tomorrow's flight route. Cao Xuan simply packed his luggage.
Cao Xuan and the others have already had the experience of packing their luggage when they go out all the year round. They don’t have many things, and they basically contain commonly used personal belongings. They always keep several sets at home for easy use, which is very convenient.
Soon, the suitcase was packed, and Zeng Li helped check it.
"Bring two more clothes. It's hot and you need to change frequently. It's not easy to buy in Japan."
Cao Xuan never likes to bring clothes, as he thinks they take up a lot of luggage, so he just buys them if they are lacking. Anyway, he doesn’t choose clothes. Except for a few custom-made clothes, they are basically seven wolves.
Because of this, Yan Xuan is the one with the most new clothes in the family. She has hundreds of sets every year and can never wear them out, so she packs them up and donates them every year.
Of course, they were all donated anonymously. Otherwise, if it were revealed that the clothes were worn by Cao Xuan, there would be no telling how many people would rob them, and it would be hard to say what they would use them for.
If we get some kind of Heavenly King willing to wear battle clothes, Cao Xuan will not be able to rest in peace until he dies......
"Don't bother, there is also a store in Japan called Seven Wolves."
It has been almost ten years since Cao Xuan officially endorsed the Seven Wolves in August 2000.
During this ten-year period, the Seven Wolves witnessed Cao Xuan step by step from a fledgling popular idol to a world superstar.
The two parties have been tied together for a long time, and the Seven Wolves even gave Cao Xuan 40% of the shares in the company on the condition that Cao Xuan will receive free global endorsements for life and partial investment.
However, this condition is actually not a loss. Because of the binding to Cao Xuan, Septwolves has huge popularity. It only needs to invest regular advertising fees every year, and the results obtained are much better than those clothing companies that spend sky-high prices.
However, it's just an advertisement. The most important thing is that Cao Xuan's popularity and celebrity status continue to help the Seven Wolves gain popularity.
It turns out that Septwolves is only positioned in the domestic mid-range market, and even often does not let go of the low-end market. With Feixuan's endorsement, Septwolves appeared on major domestic headlines.
Shopping has even appeared in international headlines, with the Septwolves appearing at the Grammy Awards, Oscars, global concerts and many other occasions.
Thanks to Cao Xuan's tireless efforts, in the eyes of the outside world, the level of the Seven Wolves has continued to rise.
Septwolves also seized this opportunity, hired outstanding designers at home and abroad, optimized clothing design, improved product quality, focused on franchise management, and made a series of improvement efforts, and finally succeeded in moving from the mid-to-low-end to the mid-to-high-end and even the affordable luxury market.
In 2007, it surpassed Rimba Men's Wear and became the number one men's wear brand in China. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, it even won orders from some athletes and volunteers.
And in 2008, leveraging Cao Xuan's influence, Septwolves officially announced its entry into the Asian market, with direct stores and dealers in more than a dozen countries including Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
It is easy to save advertising costs, but improving the quality of one's own brand and successfully entering the international market cannot be achieved by an enterprise's own efforts.
Cao Xuan definitely played a major role in it, which is why the Seven Wolves were willing to give up a large number of shares to bundle them.
Because of this incident, Septwolves and Cao Xuan not only became a business legend, but many people also studied the success of Septwolves.
In addition, various data on products endorsed by Cao Xuan such as Pepsi, Samsung, M-Zone, etc. have also been dug up by interested parties and found that the advertising effects are excellent.
However, since these are all large companies with a large basic market, various increases are just the icing on the cake, unlike ordinary companies like Qipidu. It is almost because of Cao Xuan that he has made earth-shaking changes alone.
Because of this situation, the success of the Seven Wolves has a certain degree of specialness and is even unreplicable.
Even if Cao Xuan is now fully committed to endorsing an ordinary company, without the legendary nature of both parties growing up together, the effect will be compromised compared to the Seven Wolves.
After all, the Seven Wolves Yu Cao Xuan experienced many dreamy moments.
For example, when Cao Xuan wore Septwolves for the first time at the Grammy Awards ceremony and won China's first authoritative Grammy award, Cao Xuan now wears another brand to attend the Grammy awards. They are completely different.
concept and meaning,
On the other hand, with the help of Cao Xuan, Septwolves subsequently introduced elite management, restructured the company, and imitated the business models of later successful brands such as Uniqlo. This is the most critical factor.
The mutual success of both parties is the real core of this matter. Otherwise, no matter how popular Cao Xuan is, if the quality of the brand's hardware cannot keep up, it will just be a waste of the popularity brought by Cao Xuan.
Therefore, perhaps Cao Xuan can achieve another type of corporate success, but I am afraid he will never be able to copy the route of the Seven Wolves...
Therefore, many people also take this successful model and call it "Fei Xuan's Law" or "Seven Wolves Law"
Many reborn business web articles like this model to start with. The protagonist Fei Xian suddenly signs a ten or twenty-year contract at a bargain price and easily earns a clothing giant with a market credit of nearly 10 billion.
However, compared to trying to grab Fei Xuan's box game, cutting off Hu's shares in Penguin in advance, and letting Fei Xuan work for the protagonist entertainment company, this is already drizzle.
The first person on the Internet to be raped for free!
Cao Xuan doesn’t even know how many Internet novel protagonists he has passed through, and he is definitely one of the top figures in the Internet literary world. Maybe in two years, when these people get tired of writing the routines, he will probably become a poisonous point, and he will be persuaded to quit once he appears.
The kind of...
After packing his luggage and putting it directly at the door, Cao Xuan returned to the living room. The Empress of the East Palace was pulling Zeng Li to watch TV, and her hearty laughter spread directly to the courtyard.
Cao Xuan looked over and saw that Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian on the TV were using remote control to pick up girls. They were full of jokes and made Hu Jing and Hu Jing laugh.
Speaking of which, it was only today that Cao Xuan saw "Love Apartment" and remembered that Hu Jing and Zeng Li have the same surname as the male and female protagonists of this drama. What a bad fate·
"Hey, come and watch, this drama is quite interesting, not as bad as "Wulin Gaiden"."
Hu Jing, who was so amused, did not forget to give Cao Xuan an advantage, and even possessed the proprietress, and even came up with the idea of this drama.
"I checked online and found that this drama is quite popular. Many young people like to watch it. The production company is not a big company. Why don't we invest some money? I think we can make a profit."
"I know this show."
Cao Xuan sat on the sofa, looking at the young and tender protagonists in the play, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Compared with "Wulin Gaiden", which featured an evil flower with a big mouth, the starring attributes of "Love Apartment" are much more complicated.
Except for Zhang Wei, there are only a few aunts, and the reviews of others are all flawed, especially Guan Gu and Zeng Xiaoxian, who are also considered controversial figures in the entertainment industry.
"How about it? Is it successful? I think the investment is not big. It can be done in a few million dollars. Once the TV series is sold, it would be good to put it on Penguin Star. It will fit the audience."
Hu Jing has not been a senior executive for nothing in recent years. She still has a business vision. She immediately identified the advantages of "Love Apartment". It is extremely popular among young people and is very suitable for Penguin Star's network route.
"The plot is indeed interesting, but it's a pity that it's all Chineseized."
Cao Xuan had no choice but to show his hands. Hu Jing was quite busy with work. Although she also watched some European and American movies, she mainly focused on movies and watched relatively few American TV series.
Although Zeng Li usually watches some American TV series, such as "Friends", but for a while, she couldn't quite follow the plot. However, after Hu Jing said this, she really felt that the plot was a bit familiar.
"There is a plot in "Brother Xinzha Chasing the Girl" in 1995 that is almost exactly the same as this one."
Hu Jing is also someone who has watched "The Humility of the Can Wolf". Almost all the "Love Apartment" she watched was completely transformed into "Chinese Public Benefit", and almost every episode has a plot that can be followed.
He has a very special impression of this drama. Of course, he himself is not a good person and is not qualified to comment on this matter.
However, Fanxing definitely cannot invest in this drama, otherwise Fanxing will be found out for producing plagiarized dramas in the future, and Fanxing’s reputation will be lost.
""
The Empress of the East Palace who was originally very excited, after listening to Hu Jing clarifying the truth, and then watching "Love Movie" on TV, could no longer find the feeling she had just now.
Hu Jing, on the other hand, had a fierce attitude, and even thought about what she had just said: "Plagiarism or not is aside, but this drama is indeed suitable for Penguin Star, and the Internet copyright can be obtained."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will scold you in the future?"
"If you get scolded for making a TV series, it has nothing to do with the platform. On the contrary, we can lower the price."
Hu Jing has never been a good person. Except for some principled matters, his own moral bottom line is very low. He made his fortune by plagiarizing, and he doesn't care about using this drama.
"Profiteer!"
Zeng Li, a people's teacher, covered her daughter's ears, not wanting little Cao Xuan to hear such evil capitalist remarks. However, little Cao Xuan did not do what she wanted. Instead, she stretched her ears to listen and clapped her hands to cheer her father on.
Boss Cao was greatly relieved and felt that he had a successor.
When doing business, you must adhere to the bottom line, but you must not be too rigid. There is no model company that everyone praises. Only relatively flexible business methods can enable the company to develop healthily.
After being deceived, Cao Li picked up the remote control to adjust the channel, and then a happy sister Shuangzi appeared.
"First, my name is not Hey, my name is Chu Yuxun!"
"Ahem..."
Hu Jing almost choked to death, and then she remembered that the new drama that has become popular recently is not only "Love Apartment", but "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" is the real trump card.
When Wei Chen was signed by Fanxing, Tianyu asked Wang Shuoxin, who also debuted in 2007's "Happy Boys", to replace him. The other three were not replaced, and partnered with Sister Shuangzi to produce this mainland version of "Meteor Garden".
Frankly speaking, from the perspective of later generations, this drama is simply outrageous and embarrassing, but in 2009, it was relatively okay.
If you are not an audience with high requirements for watching movies, you can accept the setting of this drama and even find it quite comfortable.
Not to mention the youth group, this drama has become extremely popular among those in college and below. The student fans of Sister Shuangzi’s drama circle have not been completely dispersed until 2022.
Hu Jing actually has a deep impression of this drama. In Goldfinger’s memory, when this drama was on the air, he went back to his hometown to recuperate due to poor health. Several neighbor children discussed the drama every day, and his classmates also watched it.
He also watched a few episodes at that time, but later almost forgot the plot. He only remembered that this drama was the most popular, and the famous line "Metusbonwe".
Xiao Zhou is the spokesperson of this brand. The two Chinese kings have contributed a lot to the domestic clothing industry.
But if Hu Jing remembers correctly, Metersbonwe was on the verge of bankruptcy and closed more than 1,000 stores in three years. I don’t know if Xiao Zhou was still the spokesperson at that time, otherwise there might be a "Jie Lun Law"
Cao Li also watched "Meteor Garden" back then. He figured out the details of the show within a few minutes of watching it, and felt even more bored.
"Are there no new dramas to watch these days?"
"Yes, I have."
Chai Bei smiled: "In September and October, Penguin Star will host two online dramas. One is "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" starring Guo Zhenni, and the other is a small company. But don't underestimate it. Fanxing has already invested in it.
Qian cooperated with him."
"What's the name of that web drama?"
""Mao Liar"."
Empress Xigong covered her daughter's ears again and glared at Hu Jing, who quickly explained.
"It's not the movie we watched, it's a pornographic film, which means Street Hustlers. The first part has actually been filmed, but it was a special one. We voted for the second part, and the script is usually the best."
"Mao Liar" is the highest-rated online drama on Douban. Although it is partly a niche drama, it has its merits with such a high score.
Especially the final chapter, "Jiji Ji Fen Shen" may be a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed the most outstanding part. Even if you single out the best part, you can make a movie of quite good quality.
Hu Jing didn't think about this drama at first. The other party knocked on the door by mistake.
After the establishment of Penguin Star, it consciously acquired some online dramas to fill its resource library. It just finished filming the first part of "Mao Liang" and delivered it to your doorstep.
Although the production of the first part of "Mao Liang" was very crude, it still showed some spirit. It happened that Penguin Star was short of materials and spent money to win it.
During this period, Chai Bei has been paying attention to the early development of Penguin Star, so she saw "Mao Liar" from the report and asked people to call and inquire. The second part is being shot and written, but due to easy funds, the progress is very slow.
Boss Cao waved his hand, and not only Penguin Star and Fanxing jointly invested 5 million in the crew of "Mao Liang" to film the second part of "Mao Liang".
Even if Hu Jing intends to let Qipengxing acquire or invest in this company in the future, this team has produced quite a few works, and the quality is also good, which is also a good complement to Penguinxing.
It is impossible for a company like Fanxing to fill the needs of a platform from Penguin Star, and Guolan may not be enough. In addition to other outsourcing, Penguin Star itself also needs to invest or produce films and TV shows to be self-sufficient and save costs.
"It will take half a month."
Cao Li was a little discouraged, so Hu Jing grabbed him and said, "Why don't you come here to play if you don't want to watch a drama? Let's clean up in the afternoon and have a barbecue in the yard today."
The Empress of the East Palace looked at the darkening sky, then looked at her watch, and gave him an annoyed look.
"You call it afternoon after seven o'clock?"
"In our hometown, it's afternoon when the moon doesn't appear."
Chai Bei glanced at the sky again. The sky was dark and full of clouds. There was no shadow of the moon anywhere. She was a little frustrated and said, "Cloudy days also count?"
Chai Bei nodded shamelessly; "Forget it, without the moon, it will be afternoon before twelve o'clock in the morning." Chai Bei: "Bah!"
Zeng Li: “Bah!”
Xiao Chaibei looked at the two of them and thought it was funny, so she spat at her father with a chubby face.
"Pooh!
The next day, Hu Jing took a private plane and rushed to Japan to promote the second part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff". Dongbao head Gao Chaibeige personally came to the airport to greet her as a sign of his importance.
It's not just "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" that Toho has tasted the benefits of. After all, it is also the local hegemon in Japan. Toho's position in the Japanese film market is even greater than that of the stars.
Last year, there were a total of seven animated films in the top 20 box office in Japan that were produced by Toho or among the top 10 box office movies of the year. Toho alone accounted for eight of them, a ferocious batch.
Although the first part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" ranked second in the box office last year, Toho only received about 50% of the related income as dividends. It made a lot of money, but it was not something that Gao Chaibeige could do so casually.
But the problem is, he may be able to stay calm in one movie, but he won't be able to stay calm in two or three movies.
Since the second part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" was released in Japan on August 12, it has gained extremely strong momentum, even surpassing the Hollywood blockbuster "Harry Potter 6" at the same time, winning the championship for two weeks in a row.
As of now, the second part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" has been released for less than two weeks, and the box office has exceeded 5 billion yen, or 365 million yuan.
Looking at this momentum, "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" is likely to break into the tens of billions of yen club.
This is also top box office data in Japan that countless classic anime movies and Hollywood blockbusters cannot achieve.
No matter how well-informed the head of Toho is, he cannot ignore a movie that is destined to be recorded in Japanese film history.
Not to mention that after "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", there was also "Three Kingdoms: Guandu". He didn't know that this movie was not controlled by Zhaoxing, and even if he knew, he might not care.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the influence of the Three Kingdoms IP in Japan.
Moreover, Wu Baige's name is still very popular. Fa Ge, Guo Tianwang, Jin Chengwu, and Liu Tianxian are also influential in Japan. Even if they are not as good as Chai Bei and "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", as long as they can cut down half of the box office
, Toho also makes some money.
Not to mention that this time with Fanxing and China Film, Japanese movies under Toho can also be released in China.
There were two films last year and three films this year. They have taken a piece of meat from Hollywood.
Of course, it's said to be a grab, but in fact it's just a stroke of a pen from China Film Group. Adding those two strokes has nothing to do with Hollywood's share.
The share of imported films varies every year, some are more and some are less. China Film Corporation said at the beginning of this year that it was about 20 films, but the exact number is very flexible.
The "Three Kingdoms" series has a large ticket sales in Japan, and it relies on Toho's contribution. This can be regarded as a sweetener given to Toho by China Film.
If you cooperate well, everyone will make a fortune together. If Dongbao doesn't cooperate, the subsequent share can be "swayed" or "swayed".
On Hu Jing's side, Penguin Star also came forward to purchase the copyrights of a large number of Toho's film and television animations. The price of the scattered pieces is also considerable.
The key point is that few other online platforms have paid copyright fees. Dongbao was so touched.
Hu Jing is not at a loss either. Toho has mastered many high-quality IPs. "Detective Conan" and "Doraemon" are both its works, which is a good selling point for Penguin Star.
At the same time, with a large number of genuine copyrights in hand, Penguin Star can also take advantage of the trend to attack a wave of friendly sites.
Qi Peng Nanshan Pizza Hut and the entertainment industry's top litigious lawyer team under the stars are gearing up to get their bonuses.
Youku and Tudou were preparing to go public. They were afraid of trouble and possibly a wave of compensation, so they sold their shares. There were not many other websites that could compete with Penguin.
Dongbao has been smitten with all kinds of sweets and benefits. Faced with such a gold mine, he has to consider whether to let Dongbao sleep with Boss Cao, let alone pick him up at the airport.
But if you really do this, it will be considered as a complete feud with Boss Cao——...
After picking him up at the airport, Gogramme considered that Hu Jing was tired from the journey, so he arranged for him and his entourage to go to a hot spring together, and then found a massage fairy to relax.
After taking a bath, everyone had a meal together. Rice Sage cooked rice, then made sushi for Sushi Sage, and BBQ Sage grilled rice.
Lamps and meat skewers, fried food for the lady to borrow, and a golden fish for you to slice into sashimi.
Chai Bei sat there watching them busy at work, and suddenly felt like the Jade Emperor.
