Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 167 Booting up

"Yes!" Chen Xing tried to hold back his smile, "Boss Huang said it was a medium target, so it is a medium target."

"Don't believe it yet."

"I believe."

"You..." Huang Ze's words of explanation were suppressed by Chen Xing's silence. He said, "Drink some water, take care of your health," and changed the subject.

"I will be going back to Shanghai in a few days. When the filming starts, it may take three to four months, half a year, or even longer. I can't say for sure how long it will take."

"When the time comes, it will be you, Old Chen, who will be fully responsible for the record company."

"Don't worry." Chen Xing said, "I have been in the Hong Kong music market for too long, nothing will go wrong."

"Well, I trust you to do the job!" Huang Ze nodded slightly, "But I still want to tell you two things."

"You can make the decision on other matters, but regarding Mariah Carey and Zhou Huimin, if either of them wants to release a song, please call and report it."

"Especially Maria!"

All beginnings are hard!

We have finally made a good start, so we must keep it up.

No matter how talented Maria is, who knows how many drafts she had to discard before she could write the songs she wrote in her previous life?
Huang Ze has to keep a close eye on it no matter what.

If you don't have the dozen or so songs you know, just copy one of her songs from her previous life and try to make her a cash cow that earns the company tens of millions of dollars a year.

"Also, for girl groups, the main focus should be on learning."

"You need to talk them through. Don't be impatient. When the time comes, I will naturally push them out."

"Also, if you see any good talents that you want to recruit, recruit them as soon as possible. Just don't recruit too many people at once. It's up to you to decide."

It doesn't cost much to recruit a new talent in Hong Kong Island.

Similarly, the sales of Cantonese songs are about the same. After deducting the fees for music stores and singers and the low cost of promotion, it would be good enough if we can break even.

It mainly depends on commissions from endorsements or something.

They were all small incomes, so Huang Ze didn't want to care about them.

After giving instructions to Chen Xing, Huang Ze first went to the residence he bought for Zhou Huimin.

The bodyguard let them rest next door.

In order to ensure security and privacy, Huang Ze bought all three houses in this unit.

In fact, only one family was willing to sell, and the other one was going to use it as a wedding house for their son.

But Huang Ze was willing to spend money, so he offered a 50% premium right from the start, which stunned the homeowners, who were afraid that Huang Ze would not buy.

With a quick and decisive move, all three houses were in our possession.

After sitting down and picking up the phone, Huang Ze asked the paging station to send the four words "secret hut" to Zhou Huimin's paging station. Huang Ze opened the refrigerator, took a look, and went to cook.

What volcanoes are falling snow, the swallow grass is as green as silk, and the yellow crane has gone and will never come back.

Chef Huang was showing off his cooking skills when the door to the living room opened.

Seeing Huang Ze in the kitchen, Zhou Huimin, who had just changed her shoes, was a little surprised, "Oh, Brother Ze, you can cook?"

Realizing that she was indeed cooking, a sense of comfort and warmth rose in her heart and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"What's the word?"

"I know a lot more."

"I can do a little bit of what most people can do, except that I can't get pregnant."

Thanks to my good memory, I can learn things quickly.

Also, when I first started playing supporting roles, I worked in a restaurant in my spare time. Cooking a few dishes was a piece of cake for me, like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts.

"You came back just in time. Try this first. The swallow grass is as white as silk."

"Isn't this stir-fried shredded vegetables?" Zhou Huimin sniffed, "And you're making soup?" "Yes!" Huang Ze curled his lips after being exposed by Zhou Huimin, "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup."

"What's that?"

"In the countryside, it's commonly known as swill, which is used to feed pigs." Huang Ze pinched the other person's nose and flicked it twice, "I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing with your studies?"

"Not bad." Zhou Huimin rolled her eyes. "Maybe it's because my English foundation is good enough, I think it's pretty easy to learn."

“By the way, I’ll bring Yang Yuying to live with me. I’ll talk to her in English and let our group go global as soon as possible!” Zhou Huimin raised her eyebrows excitedly.

"Okay!"

The best way to learn spoken English is to put it into that environment.

Among these three people, Yang Yuying is indeed weak in English, while the other two are much better than her.

If Zhou Huimin is willing, then let her do it.

"Don't be in a hurry, just try to lay a good foundation first."

“Can you feel the gap between you and Maria?”

"Yeah." Zhou Huimin shook her head slightly. "I always thought I could sing well, but after listening to her high notes, I realized what talent is."

“It’s simply indescribable.”

"It's okay, you have me." Huang Ze pointed to the kitchen, "The chicken soup will take some time, let's have a meeting!"

……

After staying in Hong Kong Island for three days, Huang Ze returned to Shanghai with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

After inspecting the preparatory work and not finding any major problems, Huang Ze gathered the actors together and started reading the script with them.

Look around.

Li Lianjie, Chen Hong, Yu Rongguang, Zhou Xingchi, Zhen Zidan, Zheng Zeshi, Jiang Wen, and the governor of the Black Flag Army found Wei Zongwan from Shanghai.

Many of them are not famous yet.

But Huang Ze had a feeling that all the heroes in the world were in his orbit.

If it were the time when I was reborn, this group of people would not be able to get together enough money to pay at least 300 or 400 million yuan, right?
This may be an underestimate. After all, it took 77 days for Shuang to make million yuan. These people should have made more than two Shuangs.

"Okay, let's get started!"

"When you read, treat it as acting. Try to figure out the emotions of the characters in the play. I'll read the lines for those who haven't arrived!"

In this way, Huang Ze led everyone in the script reading for nearly ten days.

Some actors who had fewer lines to read were almost reciting their lines backwards, and the script reading stopped only then.

It’s not that Huang Ze felt it was enough, but the preparatory work was finally completed and it was time to start filming.

Because many crew members are from Hong Kong Island, in order to make everyone feel more at ease, Huang Ze held a start-up worship ceremony at Chedun Film and Television City.

There was nothing fancy, just a simple burning of incense and then Huang Ze went to deal with the reporters.

There aren’t as many entertainment reporters here as there are in Hong Kong Island.

But Huang Ze’s influence is huge!

There are also twenty or thirty reporters gathered here today.

"Director Huang, this is a martial arts film, is it something like Shaolin Temple?"

"Yes and no."

"Director Huang's words are quite mysterious!" The reporter smiled, "Is that true?"

"It is a martial arts film, but the fighting moves will be very different from Shaolin Temple, and it can even be said to be groundbreaking. I am just trying it out, and I don't know if the audience will like it. In addition, I will add some humanistic thinking to this film, so it is not a pure martial arts film."
