Chapter 056 [Character on the cover of the first issue of 'GOOD'] (seeking the moon
In the spring of Xiangjiang, looking around, you can see the green mountains nearby and green mountains in the distance outside the urban area, which always arouses people's desire to get close to nature.
In a previous life, there was a Longji hiking trail in Hong Kong, which was rated as the "Best Urban Hiking Trail" in Asia by the Asia Edition of Time Magazine. Along the way, you can enjoy the Nanhua Sea, Shek O, Big Wave Bay, Stanley and Tai Tam.
Magnificent views of the area.
Mid-March.
Wanhui Publishing House is like a scented river in spring, flourishing and full of vitality.
The sales volume of "FHM" has continued to rise, and has stabilized at more than 70,000 copies. However, the Chinese version of "Playboy" as its rival has not achieved such impressive results, with sales of only about 30,000 copies. Only "FHM" has sold more than 70,000 copies.
Help half of the sales.
"GOOD" magazine is still in intensive preparation, and the team is very motivated!
Lin Zuhui is sitting in his office. Under him is a leather boss chair imported from Italy, which is full of comfort and style. There is also a beautiful secretary who often comes in and out. She has a sweet appearance, a hot figure, an intellectual temperament, and a pleasant voice.
, and always looks at his boss with admiration.
"Jingle Bell"
The phone on the desk rang, and Lin Zuhui picked it up.
"Hey...ok, I understand, let's have dinner together another day!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zuhui showed a smile. Just now, his stockbroker called and said that with 39 million of his capital plus double leverage, a total of 78 million, he bought two stocks, Sun Hung Kai and Henderson Land Development.
In this wave, Lin Zuhui planned to do short-term trading for two months, but he knew that he could only make a small profit of about 15 million, because he predicted based on the trend of the market and did not have any inside information.
At the end of February, after the chartering king made a decisive move and raised the quotation of Defeng to HK$7.4, the market seemed to have run out of good news, and then entered the adjustment stage. The Hang Seng Index fell from the highest point of 1430 points to 1320 points.
point.
Lam Cho-fai seized the opportunity, doubled the leverage of his funds, and then bought all Sun Hung Kai and Henderson Land Development. When small and medium-sized stocks plummeted in June and affected the market, he would sell out the stocks at the end of May and cash out his profits.
.
This was his main strategy for stock trading in the future. For example, in the Hong Kong securities market: clear all stocks before the stock market crash in October 1987, and then hunt for the bottom; for example, clear all stocks before June 1989 (the June 4th stock market crash), and then hunt for the bottom;
In 1997, 2008... Seize every major trend and increase your wealth geometrically.
He does not need to know the specific rising trend of individual stocks at all, he only needs to buy value stocks that he is familiar with, such as: HSBC, Hang Seng, Cheung Kong Holdings, Sun Hung Kai and other blue chip stocks.
Or he could wait until May 1986, when the Hang Seng Index futures contract comes out, to flex his muscles.
"Dong dong"
There was a knock on the door, and Cai Ning walked in and said, "Boss, it's time, you can go pick up Miss Wang!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, stood up, left his desk, and walked outside.
If Lin Zuhui can pick her up in person, she must be of a different status, basically a beautiful woman.
This time he is going to Shaw Brothers Studios to pick up Joey Wong to shoot the cover of the first issue of "GOOD".
The car is still the Mercedes-Benz 230E, but Lin Zuhui no longer drives part-time. He hires a full-time driver and bodyguard with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan. In case there are too many people, there is a company commercial vehicle behind the Mercedes-Benz.
Wang Zuxian is now a popular female star in Shaw Brothers movies. She made her debut at the age of 17 (1984) and starred in her first movie "The Lakeside Will Be Very Cold This Year". That year, she was spotted by Shaw Brothers boss Fang Yihua and paid 280,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Buy out the contract at a reasonable price and then bring it to Xiangjiang for development.
The boss of Shaw Brothers was very fond of Wang Zuxian, and signed a six-movie contract, and there was no restriction on Wang Zuxian going out to shoot movies for other film companies. The condition was that she would take 20% of the remuneration for each film (during the six-movie period, as of 1988).
Not only that, the salary for Wang Zuxian's first movie in Shaw Brothers was already as high as 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is very high.
This year, the two movies that Wang Zuxian made for Shaw Brothers were all flopped, so her net worth naturally couldn't rise. However, Lin Zuhui seemed to remember that this summer she had a movie with Golden Harvest, and then her net worth increased.
It is estimated that by 1986, Wang Zuxian's salary will reach 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is 50,000 more than Chow Yun-hua's "A Better Tomorrow". Of course, Chow Yun-hua has been known as the "box office poison" in recent years, and investors do not want to mention him.
He is the leading actor. After filming "A Better Tomorrow", Chow Yun-wa's salary jumped threefold, to almost 600,000.
...
This year, Shaw Brothers will give up film production and lease its theaters to Debao Films, a company owned by Dickson Poon, at a price of 40 million per year. Shaw Brothers movies are already a thing of the past, and its withdrawal will not affect the development of Hong Kong films.
On the contrary, Xiangjiang movies then entered their most glorious period.
Jiahe, New Art City, and Debao are the three giants, and many independent film companies have subsequently developed, driving the development of the entire Hong Kong film industry.
In fact, Hong Kong movies are very profitable, especially if Lin Zuhui enters this industry, he can make a lot of money. Just shooting Chow Yun-hua's movies and Stephen Chow's movies can make him a lot of money.
Although he is not a professional filmmaker, he is after all a person who has watched a movie several times. He can barely remember clearly the lines, shots, etc., which is no different from a professional.
Of course, he looked down upon that kind of money. A movie earning 10 million, and 10 movies made a year, was only 100 million. This kind of money would really be nothing to him in the future.
He also said that entering this industry is easy to pick up girls!
I have two best-selling magazines, and if I have a media group in the future, why am I afraid that I won’t be able to get in touch with more female celebrities?
However, nothing is absolute, so Lin Zuhui just doesn't think about it for the time being. Maybe one day he needs to pick up girls, so he can open a film company for fun.
At the moment, I still don’t have the energy to do it!
...
An hour later, Shaw Brothers Studios.
Cai Ning took Wang Zuxian to the car. Lin Zuhui was a little surprised, because the last time she met Wang Zuxian, her mother had been with her. This time she was alone. Could it be that her mother had returned to Taiwan?
Wang Zuxian currently lives in a dormitory at Shaw Brothers Studios, making movies and learning Cantonese at the same time. Because she has not become completely popular, she does not have any advertising endorsements or activities.
Lin Zuhui held the flowers in his hand, handed them to Wang Zuxian, and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, we meet again!"
Wang Zuxian and Lin Zuhui met twice before when they were filming the cover of "FHM", but this was the first time that Lin Zuhui came to pick them up, which was a bit surprising.
She first took the flowers politely, and then said in Mandarin: "Mr. Lin, please come and pick them up in person! However, I don't like flowers very much!"
The tone was very sincere. If the two had not met twice, it would be easy for people to misunderstand that Wang Zuxian was not polite or that he disliked Lin Zuhui.
"Oh, I forgot, you are a beautiful flower yourself! Cai Ning, help Miss Wang get it!"
Wang Zuxian's face suddenly turned red, and under the care of Lin Zuhui, she got into the back seat of the car, with Lin Zuhui following closely behind.
As soon as they entered the car, the two started chatting.
Wang Zuxian asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, did you also conceive of this magazine? You can actually publish two magazines in a row in just a few months. It seems that you are not much older than me!"
Lin Zuhui also shed his boss aura and said in a joking tone: "From your words, it seems that you admire me very much!"
"Tch, I've been reading newspapers recently and there are a lot of people who don't like your magazine and say you're not stable enough!"
Lin Zuhui stared at Wang Zuxian. This woman was indeed good-looking, second only to Guan Jiahui. In Lin Zuhui's heart, Guan Jiahui, Lin Qingxia, Li Jiaxin were on the same level, and the second echelon was Wang Zuxian, Qiu Shuzhen and other actresses. (PS
:The above are only the results of Baidu search for "the most beautiful woman in Xiangjiang" and do not represent the author's personal thoughts.)
Wang Zuxian could have been in the first echelon, but she was not anti-aging, and her appearance declined drastically before she was 30 years old.
Seeing that Wang Zuxian looked down on his own magazine "GOOD", Lin Zuhui joked: "You are the cover star of this magazine's first issue, but you are not confident about it. How about we make a bet?"
Wang Zuxian wanted to take back what she just said, but when she saw Lin Zuhui looking at her so presumptuously, she said unconvinced: "How to bet?"
"In Hong Kong, there are only a handful of magazines that can sell 50,000 copies. Each one is called a 'cash cow' and its influence is huge. Just like our magazine "GOOD", if it can have 5
With sales of 10,000 copies, it is basically the spiritual food for teenagers in Hong Kong. If you shoot our cover and accept interviews, it will at least be of great help to your reputation, and it will also be of great help to increase your salary.
"
On this point, Joey Wong could only nod. Although her last two movies have been a hit, when she was filming the cover of "FHM", she was dubbed a "pure beauty", so she took on two commercials, which made her a lot of money.
Made a fortune.
When Lin Zuhui saw Wang Zuxian admit that cooperation with her was very helpful to her, she also felt a kind of honor; it was as if whoever she wanted to praise could become popular.
"Let's do this! If the sales of the first issue of "GOOD" can reach 50,000 copies, you will make an appointment with me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Zuxian blushed to the roots of her ears!
Naturally, she would not look down on the young and rich Lin Zuhui. On the contrary, she had some ideas, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden!
"Humph, I agreed! I don't believe that the students in Xiangjiang are so rich!" she said deliberately.
