Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 388 Inspection

Chapter 388 Inspection
Huang Ze returned to his loyal Shanghai again.

After returning home and having a meal, Huang Ze went to inspect the BBK Electronics company under his control.

Without saying hello in advance, he went straight to Duan Yongping's office.

Duan Yongping, who was processing something, looked up and saw that it was Huang Ze. He immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Huang, you are here?"

"I'm getting ready to come back to shoot a new movie, so I'll take a look at it."

"You're shooting a new film right after winning the Palme d'Or! Mr. Huang, you're really a model worker. Your fans will be so happy to know this."

"You know this as well?"

"Of course! Many newspapers have reported it." Duan Yongping immediately invited Huang Ze to sit down, "Director Huang, I have a request, can you discuss it?"

"Huh? Tell me."

"Why don't we release Farewell My Concubine in domestic theaters first? Why don't we release it directly on VCD?"

"This film was produced independently by the company, so you can consider it." Huang Ze gave the answer instantly.

After all, BBK can bring itself huge profits.

And what about domestic theaters at that time?

how to say.

To put it nicely, I am just seeking fame temporarily, but do I still need fame now?

To put it bluntly, not to mention the box office sales, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of the figures. Even if it is true, how much of the profit will you get in the end?

Three to five million is a big hurdle!

It seems a bit shabby to earn this much money easily by selling a few thousand VCDs!

As for changing the profit-sharing model, Huang Ze feels that it would be easier for him to compete for the Oscars for Best Director or Best Picture.

The entire distribution system now is based on the consciousness of millions of canal workers. Unless they are really starving to death, anyone who dares to move will be in big trouble.

If the distant relatives go one step further...

amount.

It will take until September to make another step forward, and that means two more steps, and maybe there will be more to come.

pity.

By that time, there will be no need to smooth things over myself, as the issuance will have been changed long ago. If it is not changed, we will starve to death. There is no other way but to break down.

"and many more!"

"In that case, you have to promote it yourself. After all, not everyone reads the newspaper every day."

"Let me see if we can release it in theaters and on VCD at the same time."

"By the way, what are the sales volumes now?" Huang Ze asked.

"Although we will give away discs, and there are several versions, if you exchange them with each other, everyone can watch a lot of movies and TV series. In addition, Shanghai is a base, so there are many preferential treatments, and the consumption power of the entire Yangtze River Delta is sufficient. However, because everyone has never seen this thing, the sales are not too optimistic."

"In more than half a year, only 50,000 units were sold! At least a thousand of them were bought by friendly companies."

When talking about this number, Duan Yongping looked serious.

But there was always an irrepressible smile on the corners of his mouth.

Fifty thousand units.

The number may not seem large, but a VCD costs 5,000 yuan. How much output value is this?
Two hundred and fifty million.

And the ever-increasing sales curve proves that this thing still has a bright future!

As long as it is gradually promoted and people accept it, and even regard it as an indispensable appliance in the home like refrigerators and televisions, then it will be time to start eating meat.

"Fifty thousand units? Why are you so serious? This number is not bad. It has exceeded my expectation." If Huang Ze remembered correctly, after Wan Yan in his previous life was created, only 20,000 units were sold in the first year.

That's pretty good, isn't it?

If they want to make a big rise, they just need to wait for the CCTV auction to start in the second half of this year. Then they can push the VCD concept to the whole country in one fell swoop. "By the way, are there other companies following suit?"

"Not yet." Duan Yongping shook his head. "By the way, the Anhui Province Wan Yan that I reported to you before is still following up and advertising a lot."

"Yeah, I know." At that time, Duan Yongping reported the matter to see if he could rely on some of the patents to kill the other party. Anyway, the other party did not have any core technology, so there was no need to collude with the other party.

But for something like VCD, which has its own copyright and patents, but does not comply with the patents, can it be called a patent? It is unlikely that China will regulate this.

Even if they do, what is protectionism for?

Could it be possible that Shanghai and Anhui Province would have to fight?

So I ignored it and instead kept it so that we can develop the market together.

The two companies worked together to promote this concept.

"Don't worry." Looking at Duan Yongping's frown, Huang Ze knew what he was worried about and waved his hand, "He won't be a competitor."

"They have limited funds, so it would be good enough if they can develop the product and advertise it for a year."

"Besides, we have more bullets than they do! Wan Yan is no match for them."

"On the contrary, once the market opens up and people see the huge market for this kind of thing, there may be a situation where there are big companies outside and grassroots companies rising up inside. This is what you should worry about."

"Especially in East Guangdong Province!" Duan Yongping nodded heavily. "There are many electrical and electronic parts companies there, and it is adjacent to Hong Kong Island. They can actually lower costs more easily than us in developing VCDs."

"But we have occupied the market with the highest spending power, and we can also distribute our products along the river, right?"

"Okay, go ahead and promote it with all your strength. Next year will be the time when our BBK really takes off."

"Ah? Mr. Huang, why do you say it will be next year? Is there any inside information?" Duan Yongping asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes!" Huang Ze smiled mysteriously without revealing any more secrets.

“Can it really have such a big effect?”

"Eighty percent likely." Huang Ze nodded.

After all, it was the first bidding event organized by CCTV.

In order to successfully promote the concept of bidding winner, it is not just a matter of an advertisement during prime time every day, there are also various other accompanying publicity. CCTV will really try its best.

In the previous life, the first Confucius Mansion Banquet became famous all over the country overnight.

VCDs cannot be compared to wine, but we must also believe in the power of advertising in this era, especially CCTV advertising, which is absolutely powerful.

"Well, if we can increase this sales volume tenfold, then our BBK will be even better. I dare not even think about it!"

"Be bolder. The bolder you are, the more productive the land will be." Huang Ze slapped the table and stood up.

"Let's go and see the factory."

"it is good."

After inspecting the production base, Huang Ze returned home.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Huang Ze received a call from Cheng Hong, "Where are you? The Palme d'Or director."

"Huhai!" Huang Ze said, "They are preparing to shoot "Life is Beautiful"."

"So you'll be staying in Shanghai for the next few months?"

"There is a high probability that it will be like this."

"Is Gong Xing here too?"
