Chapter 658: A good start to imitate the success

In fact, currently operating a music company in the Mainland is more profitable than a film company or a TV drama company. Although people's income is not high, they are still very active in spiritual consumption.

During this period, many mainland singers were too embarrassed to part with a million-dollar album if they didn't buy one. The profits were considerable. Last year, DreamWorks Music entered the mainland and signed four or five singers.

So far, four albums have been released, each of which has sold an average of about 1.5 million copies in the mainland. Coupled with DreamWorks' channels in Southeast Asia, each album has sold about 500,000 copies externally.

.

The sales of the album alone gave DreamWorks Music a good start in the mainland, and other commercial performances were also very profitable. However, during this period, the commercial performances in the mainland were not perfect, and many remote places were rejected.

This is mainly due to the fact that since the severe crackdown in 1983, there has been no proper management for six or seven years. Subsequently, economic development has led to a lot of chaos, such as roadblocks, extortion, car theft, etc. that have occurred frequently.

It can be said that the security in the mainland was a bit chaotic during this period. Zhao Hong remembered the news one by one, that is, a distant relative of a great writer was greedy for his money, so he killed him directly in his house.

From this, we can see that many people during this period had a desire for wealth and a weak legal awareness. This is a product of this era. When everyone was equally poor, everyone lived an honest life.

But when you see some people becoming developed and the development is uneven, people's hearts will be different. This is not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality.

Although there are problems like this, in this wild era, it is really easy to find gold. As long as you find the right way, you will not worry about making money.

At this time, Zhao Hong wanted DreamWorks' entertainment industry to move inland. It was not about how much money it made, but actually a matter of early investment and slowly cultivating the market first.

For example, they currently invest in movies in the Mainland every year, not just one or two, but more than five. Of these, they cannot make money in the Mainland, and they cannot recoup the cost of buying copies, but it is still the case.

He is not afraid of losing a little money, as long as he has a certain market share.

It is also good to hoard movie rights.

During this period, there were still many good directors in the mainland, and the restrictions on filming were relatively small. Unlike after 1994, when the main theme of filming was introduced, many other types of films at that time could not pass the review. It can be said that the next

These few years were the last good days for filmmakers in the 1990s.

But there is one disadvantage, that is, the copyright does not belong to itself, but is affiliated with the film studio. Fortunately, the films DreamWorks shoots in the mainland are all co-productions, so there is no such worry.

In addition to working hard in movies and music, DreamWorks is also famous in the mainland TV drama circle, mainly because over the years, the mainland has introduced countless TV dramas to Suzaku TV.

Zhuque TV is also a household name in the mainland, and DreamWorks TV series are well-known in the mainland.

In addition, DreamWorks has invested in major mainland TV series such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "The Legend of the Gods", etc. This has also made many TV series directors or mainland TV stations know that this Hong Kong company is very wealthy.

It is worth mentioning that the TV series "Fengshenbang" was very bold in many places, with many provocative plots and revealing clothing. After a few episodes, it was directly banned in the mainland. However, it was different on Zhuque TV. It was broadcast in Southeast Asia as soon as it was launched.

It caused a whirlwind.

The TV series was beautifully filmed and the style was bold. Many young people liked it very much, and they discovered that the mainland was not as conservative as they thought.

In fact, many celebrities have a certain degree of popularity in Southeast Asia. It can be said that celebrities from the mainland who knew well during this period were famous in Southeast Asia. This was mainly due to the powerful publicity channels such as Suzaku TV.

During this period, as long as they were large-scale costume TV dramas filmed in the Mainland, they were extremely popular in Wanwan, Xiangjiang, and Southeast Asia. As for modern dramas, they were a bit acclimated, such as "The Capital Man in New York", "The Big Show", "Desire"

", "Story of the Editorial Office" and other TV series that are popular in the mainland, but the response is mediocre when they are broadcast on Suzaku TV.

This is actually normal. The main reason is that there is still a certain gap between the aesthetics of the mainland and Xiangjiang. Most of their clothes are outdated styles of Xiangjiang. Furthermore, there are things happening around the mainland that people in other regions have not personally experienced. This

It is difficult to resonate with the audience.

However, although the response was mediocre and the ratings were only moderate, the Suzaku TV station still made a lot of money by buying it at a relatively low price.

Currently, DreamWorks and the Mainland have cooperated with each other before. TV series from Zhuque TV are broadcasted in the Mainland. Some classic TV series from the Mainland are also broadcasted by Suzaku TV. The same is true for movies.

In addition to the above three aspects, DreamWorks has also started building buildings in the mainland. Under this situation, DreamWorks' real estate companies have also begun to enter the mainland. This is also the time to enter the mainland. In fact, many real estate companies in Xiangjiang have been in the mainland for a few years.

It started entering the mainland years ago.

Therefore, DreamWorks Real Estate Company’s entry into the mainland is not fast at all, which is just right!

For this reason, DreamWorks also set up a real estate subsidiary. During this period, it was still easy for Hong Kong investors to acquire land in the mainland. Not to mention that a company like DreamWorks, which has a good relationship with the mainland, spent more than 200 million yuan on the early stage.

Future big cities such as Magic City, Pengcheng, and Jingcheng took some land.

As for the cinema chain, it remains the same, with only ten built within the permitted scope.

The main focus of DreamWorks Cinemas this year is to improve the construction of established cinemas in regions such as Africa and Central Asia, and to supplement local cinemas that have developed in existing regions.

As for the Mainland, the main thing is to start building its own channels from next year and build the buildings first. As for the theater chain, it will not be too late to slowly expand after the millennium.

Zhao Hong also paid close attention to the Oriental Charming Ceramics Company. The hard work paid off and the Kangxi Flower God Cup was finally copied. This thing caused a sensation when it was exhibited in the museum.

It immediately attracted the attention of many collectors. They wanted to buy it, but they were all declined.

It's just that one set will be auctioned every month. In this case, Zhao Hong established an auction house. The main reason is not how much money he makes in the auction house.

But with this company, I can buy a lot of good things that I want. Moreover, I will imitate a lot of precious porcelain every once in a while. These porcelain cannot be sold directly. To reflect its value, auctioning is the best way.

choice.

Of course, Zhao Hong also gave away several sets, including one set for each of Mr. Jin and Huang Laoxie. Mr. Jin loved tea very much, so he gave him such a set of cups. He still respected Mr. Jin very much.

The old man has given him a lot of advice on writing matters over the years.

As for Huang Laoxie, he was a bit arty, and Zhao Hong was very frightened by the way he was stalking him. Come on, he could only give him a favor and send him away.

We also gave them to the National Palace Museum and the Taipei Museum, so that no one would be offended. Our own products are not worth much anyway. The cost price is around 100,000 Hong Kong dollars per set. The real value is the craftsmanship and technology involved.

Both museums are very happy about the donation of Oriental Charm. Neither of them has a complete collection of the Flower God Cup, which can be regarded as filling a gap in the collection.

The appearance of the Flower God Cup has caused a stir in the porcelain market around the world. Among them, a British collector took out a set of Flower God Cups for auction at Christie's Hong Kong auction house.

In the end, it was bought by the DreamWorks Museum for 80 million Hong Kong dollars and became the treasure of the museum. This made the mysterious seller very happy. In fact, he did not know that if it was auctioned after the millennium,

If you pay three or five times more, you may not be able to buy it.

This is also the highest price ever paid for Chinese porcelain.

Now that the reputation of Oriental Charm Porcelain Company has begun to show, the elder sister is a little jealous at this time. For this reason, Zhao Hong had to let DreamWorks also hold 10% of Oriental Charm's shares. Of course, the money still had to be paid, and she also guaranteed

From now on, he will take her with him on any new projects he has.

Zhao Hong was also speechless. Why didn't she get involved in their hot spring project?
