Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 367: Finished Product
"Ah? Not an action movie?" Jackie Chan was stunned for a moment, his whole body was in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Huang Ze raised his lips, "Are you afraid of getting a bad grade in the end? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

After Huang Ze said this, Jackie Chan reacted.

That’s right, Director Huang is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?
I am an action comedian myself.

But Huang Ze is a director who can shoot any type of film.

The failure of a feature film did not affect his ability to make action films. He retreated back to the field of action films and remained a tyrant.

But if it succeeds, the meaning will be very different.

It will represent its expansion from action movies to all fields.

This is definitely worth the gamble.

Moreover, this was proposed by Director Huang. Whether it was for the purpose of further advancement in the future or to repay the favor of "Rush Hour", there was no reason for me to refuse.

After quickly sorting out the pros and cons, the confusion on Jackie Chan's face turned into a smile of gratitude.

"I was a little surprised for a moment."

"After all, I have always been shooting action movies. I have tried non-action movies, but the results were not that good."

"Director Huang thinks I have a talent for making non-action films?"

"You can try it." Huang Ze spread his hands. Actually, this was the only way to deal with it.

When making a feature film, which is different from an action film, you must choose someone who has a certain degree of fame among North American audiences.

If you want to be famous enough among North American audiences, you can only rely on action actors.

This is an endless cycle.

So Huang Ze can only revolve around Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan.

Oh, there is one exception, myself.

But I can't possibly act as the leading actor myself, right?
This is no longer the time when we were filming Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

"What, no confidence?"

"I have confidence now even if I didn't have confidence in filming Director Huang's movie." Jackie Chan patted his chest confidently, "When will we shoot? I have reserved a schedule."

"It will take two or three years. We'll talk about it then."

"Okay, take a break." Huang Ze immediately closed his eyes and stopped talking. He had been very busy during this period of time. It was time to take a break.

……

After returning to Hong Kong Island, Huang Ze went straight back home.

"came back?"

"A successful and famous director." Gong Xing joked, "I saw the newspaper praising you again."

"They say that you have brought out another Kung Fu superstar after Li Lianjie. Together, they can surpass Bruce Lee in the film industry."

"If you want to become a global movie star in the future, you have to work with Director Huang."

"Hey, no, no." Huang Ze waved his hand, "It's all just empty reputation, empty reputation."

"By the way, I'm going back to Shanghai tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Can we take the child with us?"

"I'm still studying."

"Study, what the hell!" Huang Ze raised his hand and gently slapped his son on the head, who was in his last year of kindergarten. "I'll only be back for a few days, what can it delay?"

"Children should combine work and rest when studying."

"It's not a festival, why do you want to go home?" Gong Xian looked at Huang Ze with doubt, "Based on my understanding of you, there must be something wrong."

"It's nothing, really. Go give some encouragement to BBK."

"BBK?" Gong Xing recalled, "The one who works in electronic technology?"

"That's right!" Huang Ze nodded, "Two weeks ago, they finally made the finished product I wanted, but I couldn't leave at that time."

"Now that I'm back, I need to give some awards."

"The machine that stores movies or TV shows on a disc and can play them on TV?" "Yes." Huang Ze nodded. "The cost of a disc will be much lower than that of a videotape. There will be a big market for it in the future!"

"Doesn't that mean that there is also a big market for pirated products?" Gong Xing immediately grasped the key point. "Whether it is in China, Hong Kong, or Southeast Asia, pirated audio and video products cannot be banned."

“Does this machine feel a bit like digging into your own roots?”

"That can't be helped." Huang Ze was also helpless, "I won't dig, but there are plenty of people who will."

"There is a company in China that is also working on this thing."

“And the market demand is huge.”

"As the economy develops, people's entertainment needs are growing, but domestic movies and TV shows cannot satisfy them."

“Everyone needs more and more novel programs.”

“It gave rise to a number of video studios.”

"Why doesn't anyone buy a VCR and watch it at home?"

"Video tapes are too expensive. A VHS tape costs dozens of dollars and is useless after watching it. This leads to many people going to small video halls to watch movies."

"It's very cheap to make pirated CDs, and pirated copies will appear sooner or later. It's only a matter of time before these machines explode in China!"

"Instead of letting others make the money, I'd rather make it myself and make up for my losses on the movie."

"Besides, we should be more broad-minded. I wonder how many jobs this VCD factory can bring to my hometown. It's also a high-tech enterprise. It's also prestigious to talk about it. How many people can the film industry accommodate?"

Huang Ze still needs to continue to cast amulets for himself.

Nowadays, apart from earning foreign exchange, what could be more popular than working in high-tech enterprises?
“Will this one be popular in Europe and America as well?”

"It's pretty bad." Huang Ze was also quite helpless.

VCDs were not very popular in Europe and the United States in the past.

The reason is very simple. Almost every household has a VCR, and VCD is not much more advanced than a VCR, so people have no desire to change.

You'll have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

But what about the DVD format?

It is not possible to create something by yourself with foresight. At most you can just follow behind and get some benefits.

But don’t worry about it, just eat the meat of the VCD first.

……

After a long time, Huang Ze returned to the old place again.

After returning home and settling his wife and children, he went straight to BBK's office.

"Mr. Huang!"

"Mr. Huang."

Huang Ze's face is the best business card. Even if most employees have never seen him in real life, they have seen him on TV or in newspapers. Therefore, there is no such dog-blood drama that employees don't know the boss.

Those employees who Huang Ze had no impression of greeted Huang Ze enthusiastically one by one.

"Ah."

Huang Ze nodded and went straight to Duan Yongping's office.

The other person heard the employee's voice and walked out, and the two met at the door.

"Good job! Let's go and see the effect of the machine."

Huang Ze didn't say much and he and Duan Yongping chose a movie to watch using the VCD invented by BBK.

The effect is definitely not as good as that of a movie screen, but it is also optimized quite well.

Huang Ze watched and nodded repeatedly.

"Old Duan, I really made the right choice to cooperate with you."

"By the way, I asked you to register a global patent. Have you done it?"
