Chapter 128 The Movie Is Released
Nasi Amos is being fooled!
But Tao Xi knows that it is not that simple to be an executive CEO of a company that can do business with a major military factory. If Naxi Amos is a guy with a small belly, maybe someone casually speaking to the people below is enough to disgust Amy. Leo Adams half day.

After all, the Adams family is not Emilio's family, he is just a member of the Adams family.

After returning to the caravan, Tao Xi finally saw a piece of news on TV that interested him, [the Japanese ambassador to the United States proposed to the US government to strengthen the safety of American residents].

The news seems to be quite big. A lot of Japanese held their cards and protested near the White House in the United States. tent.

Seeing this scene, Tao Xi became energetic in an instant. He first called Jerry Bruckheimer: "Jerry! Our movie will be released in these two days! We will use the investment department of Mitsubishi Land to The manager and the supernatural incident at the Toyota factory are a gimmick to promote the release time!"

"Oh! Damn it! Tao Xi, don't you see those Japanese expatriates protesting?"

Jerry Bruckheimer heard Tao Xi's arrangement, and his voice instantly raised several scales, but Tao Xi replied to Jerry with a sinister face: "Don't you understand the principle of profit first?" ? If someone comes to my trouble, I will donate 1% of the box office to the Los Angeles Police Department to strengthen law and order."

Without waiting for Jerry Bruckheimer on the other side of the phone to speak, Tao Xi directly hung up the phone and told Marco who was doing the settlement: "Marco! Target Burbank ABC! Let's go!"

"Oh! Tausi! My garage is making less than $7000 these days and I'm not happy!"

Tao Xi looked at Marco's distressed expression and laughed: "Don't worry! If this movie can sell well at the box office, I'll give you another 200 million to let you open a branch! One store earns 7000 US dollars, and two stores won't be enough. 14000 US dollars? Three stores is 21000 US dollars! Don’t worry about the loss of a little customer source. When you realize that your operation has not made any mistakes, you have to promote your model as quickly as possible. Your greatest success!"

"But I'm just annoyed at that workshop named [Ford Motor Modification Factory]. His address is in a basement, but his business is better than mine!"

Tao Xi tilted his head and asked back: "Then does he have a brother as awesome as you?"

Marko, who was questioned by Tao Xi, shook his head. Seeing Marko's appearance, Tao Xi directly gave him a suggestion: "If you can't compete with him, can't you buy him to work for you with 200 million dollars? ?”

"what the fxxk!"

"Tausy! You're so smart!"

Marco, who laughed silly from time to time along the way, even drove a lot faster, and Tao Xi slowly fell into thought while looking at the surrounding scenery.

With the support of Emily, the documentary called [Spiritual Records] received the full resources of ABC. The explosive energy of a large media group finally made Tao Xi feel refreshed!
Even Tao Xi was a little bit afraid, because after ABC discovered the potential of the documentary "Psychic Records", it not only forcibly withstood the investigation of the New York police, even ABC also provided this "Psychic Records" through their cable TV networks across the United States. Record] Crazy momentum.

If the popularity of [Spiritual Wind], Fox News Channel has gained the affirmation of a large number of journalists, then ABC has made a lot of money in this matter!
Tao Xi relied on the idea of ​​"Spiritual Records" and ABC each contributed 50 US dollars. The share ratio agreed by the two parties was that Tao Xi could get 20%.

In the media industry where channels are king, Emily told him that this ratio is not low.

So far, in less than half a month, ABC has paid him a return of 96 US dollars, which is close to 100% return on investment. This is only advertising revenue, and copyright income is said to have to wait for a long time.

The only thing that surprises Tausi is that since ABC was acquired by Metropolitan Communications for $35 billion, during the period from April to May, this media giant, which is a neighbor of Disney, has an unprecedented desire for international news. Emily hinted to him more than once that ABC would charge more for news in this area in the future.

When Tao Xi saw Emily Dunn again, Emily Dunn's whole body was glowing!

"Tao Xi! You are so awesome!" Emily Dunn wanted to rush up to hug him the first time she saw Tao Xi, but Tao Xi pushed Emily aside with a look of disgust : "Got it! Get away from me quickly! You are already the Special Director of the ABC Production Department and Reporter Investigation Department!"

Emily Dunn snatched the task card that Tao Xi held in her hand and rolled her eyes triumphantly.

Emily Dunn, who walked up to the caravan, looked at the luxurious interior of the caravan and let out a "tsk tsk tsk" sound from time to time: "You've done really well in your little days recently!"

"Speak business! Talk business!"

"Help read this promotional copy!"

"Can your company pass the review to promote it?"

Tao Xi threw a copy of the copy on Emily Dunn, and Emily Dunn looked at the promotion copy while drinking the coffee that Tao Xi made for him.

Emily Dunn spit the coffee out of her mouth when she saw the title of Tao Xi's [Promotional Copy].

[The supernatural event that makes the Japanese embassy in the United States terrified will be moved to April 4th, and can be watched in Neal United theaters and MGM home theaters]

"You don't have such a good way of rubbing hot spots, don't you know that your copywriting is just trying to provoke conflicts between two countries?"

"I don't want the copyright fee for [Spiritual Records]! Help me get this done, I know you have the means to take the pressure off this matter!" Tao Xi categorically pointed at the copywriting to Emily Dunn said.

Emily Dunn didn't bother to drink the first cup of coffee that Tao Xi made for her, but looked at Tao Xi's courage with surprise.

"Are you sure? The copyright of [Spiritual Records] is currently negotiating with several powerful media companies in the UK and France. If it goes well, you can get at least 1000 million copyright share!"

Tao Xi smiled confidently when he heard Emily Dunn's words: "You believe me! This movie of mine makes more money than this!"
-
[Ghost Story] is finally released. A movie that was operated by Tao Xi himself and assisted by Jerry Bruckheimer was released in this way. A total of 3700 screens across the United States participated in the screening of [Ghost Story].

Tao Xi has high expectations for 【Ghost Story】!
To this end, Tao Xi used all the resources he could use. Although the coverage of [MGM Home Theater] was far inferior to that of the theater company that Paramount and Warner Pictures cooperated with, Tao Xi was already very satisfied.

Coupled with the coverage of [Neil United Cinemas] in California, Tausi has reason to believe that this movie will be a hit!
"Should we ask those film critics to organize a test screening, so that they can speak well for us in the media!"

Tao Xi heard Jerry Bruckheimer's words and asked seriously: "Do you need to spend money?"

Don't look at this movie, which only cost 30 US dollars to shoot, but the advertisements of some newspapers under the ABC alone cost Tausi a budget of at least 100 million US dollars, plus [Yellow Pages] recently With uncontrolled distribution in California and New York State, Tausi has spent all the spare money he can use.

Although [Neil United Cinemas] has helped Tao Xi earn a lot of money, [Neil United Cinemas] Tao Xi only holds 30% of the shares, and his godfather has high expectations for this enterprise.

Therefore, Tao Xi has to take out 25% of the income every time to help [Neil United Cinemas] continue to expand. After all, how big a cinema can be depends on its coverage area!

Just this one-third of an acre of land in California does not allow him to have a high voice.

The ever-increasing cost pressure made Tao Xi very tight. As for [Neill Hot Dog Chain] since it decided to go public, Tao Xi never saw him again except for being asked for money from Tao Xi by Old West every month. money back.

"It's going to cost money, and those damn movie critics are always stingy, and I can't imagine what nasty things would come out of their mouths if they weren't paid!"

Tao Xi directly rejected Jerry's proposal when he heard this conclusion.

Fortunately, [Ghost Story] ushered in its first premiere amid the constant protests from the [Japanese Embassy to the US Government]! ——
New York’s ticket warehouses have always been Queens and Manhattan, and Brooklyn, as the place with the highest crime rate, has only built about 250 movie theaters in this area with a population of 40 million.

But [Neil United Cinemas] has built 4 drive-in theaters on Brooklyn Avenue.

The two ends of the Brooklyn Bridge are the places where you can see the clearest gap between the rich and the poor in New York. At the eastern end of the Brooklyn Bridge is the Brooklyn District.

[Neill's Fast Food Chain NO.141] and [Neill's United Cinemas NO.1049] are located in the parking lot east of the Brooklyn Bridge. The only shop facing the street in the parking lot is occupied by [Neill's Fast Food Chain]. The one who was cooking was a not-so-beautiful woman.

This woman looks very busy, she keeps processing one hot dog after another in her hand.

There are also two small workers in the back kitchen who are frying chicken legs. One of them wipes the sweat from his forehead and deep-fries the chicken legs from time to time, while the other keeps complaining: "Mom! Install an air conditioner in the shop, if I keep working like this I will definitely get sick!"

The hot dog processing woman replied dissatisfied: "Robertson! Don't forget your mission, you are just a part-time worker, you have no right to make any plans for this shop, if you are not satisfied with everything here, you can go back to Los Angeles at any time Go to the paper mill to move the waste paper."

Hearing this, Robinson shrank his neck and continued to work. Their father was commanding the little girls they recruited from Queens with a nervous face!

These little girls are all good-looking, and everyone is wearing a red JK uniform with roller skates on their feet.

"Listen girls, I don't look like a good boss, but I think you're going to work hard on our first day of business selling hot dogs and giving the best rides to the moviegoers. good service."

"When every customer comes, you must tell them that if they want to improve the sound synchronization, they must adjust the radio to listen to the FM88.36 frequency band, only then they can listen to the big screen in the car. signal of!"

Not far from the [Ticket Office], there are posters of the recently hit movie [First Blood 2] and their main promotion [Ghost Story].

The sky in New York is getting darker and darker. There is a clear distinction between luxury cars and civilian cars on the Brooklyn Bridge. Those second-hand cars that can be seen everywhere on the street seem to have received some kind of signal. Line NO.1049] drove away.

After these second-hand cars were inspected by the two ticket inspectors at the door, these second-hand cars were brought to the parking spaces in the parking lot by those extremely beautifully dressed waitresses.

After a while, a parking lot that can hold 400 cars was filled!
Some of these customers came with a family, some with their girlfriends, and some came in alone after ordering a hot dog movie viewing package.

Robinson took a freshly prepared [Hot Dog Movie Viewing Package] and sent it out along the window. Before he could finish his work, the ordering phone in the room rang.

"Hi! Hello~"

"A hot dog package A, delivered to 471 Brooklyn Avenue!" Robinson recorded the address and reported to his mother, then walked to a dilapidated cabin in the parking lot.

"I have an order for 471 Brooklyn Avenue, whoever of you is full will come to pick up the order!"

As soon as Robinson finished speaking, there was a neat row of children sitting in the log cabin, scrambling to be the first to raise their hands for the order. Robinson saw the positive expressions of the children and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry! Don't worry! Tonight's There must be a lot of orders, and I will guarantee that each of you can earn $8 tonight!"

After leaving the cabin, Robinson stretched hard and walked towards the back kitchen. The long line at the entrance of the ticket office made Robinson stunned.

"I want to book a family ticket for tomorrow!"

"Hello, if you have children, I don't recommend bringing your children to watch"

"Oh! Fxxk, my kids aren't those white kids, buy a ticket! Here's your money!"

The fiery ticketing scene at the ticket office made Robinson shrink his neck, because the ticket office and the meal delivery office are not managed by the same company, and Robinson didn't say much.

Instead, his father was busy dealing with various complaints and customer complaints at the projector.

"Fortunately, the weather is good recently! If it really rains, maybe I have to go back to the paper mill to move paper again!"
