Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 35: Sales No. 3

   On October 3, "Shanghai Beach" officially ended, but due to Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua's stingy, the closing banquet was not held.

  The next day Kylin Newspaper Company

   Every person in charge of the Kylin Newspaper Company stayed in Li Zhiwen's office, because today is the first day of the "Kirin Daily" that is released for a fee.

The sales of "Kirin Daily" went from 75,000 copies on the first day of publication to 200,000 copies on the last day of free publication. Everyone knows that "Kirin Daily" is on fire, but these were all released when it was free. Everyone has no idea how much sales can reach on the first day.

   咚咚, there was a knock on the door.

   "Come in." Li Zhiwen said majesticly.

   "Boss, this is the sales volume of each newspaper today." The employee looked at the newspaper boss in an office and said tremblingly.

   "Okay, you can go down." Li Zhihao waved his hand and let the staff go down.

   Li Zhiwen stared at the paper. The first place was "Oriental Daily", with sales of 180,000 copies. Now that the publication of "Xun Qin Ji" is in the mid-term, the sales of "Oriental Daily" have increased a bit.

  The second place is Ming Pao, with sales of 160,000 copies. Although the explosion of "Xun Qin Ji" temporarily suppressed the "Ming Pao", the centipede insects are dead but not stiff.

Ranked third is the "Kirin Daily" with a sales volume of 150,000 copies. "The Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty" is a martial arts novel of very good quality. In order to attract readers' attention in a short time, Li Zhiwen specially selected this novel. It seems that things are going well recently, and with the one-week free distribution, most readers have stabilized.

   Ranked fourth is "Oriental Women", with sales of 100,000 copies. It seems that the female market cannot be underestimated.

   The sales volume of "Sing Tao Daily", the three major newspapers in Hong Kong before, reached 40,000 copies. Because of the lack of outstanding novels, his market share was divided by Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, and Kylin Daily.

After reading it, Li Zhiwen handed the sales report to each person in charge of the newspaper to read them one by one. Several people were crying, and there was no way. "Xiangjiang Daily" used to be the industry leader. Although it finally declined, now everyone stays. The old people in the newspaper all remember its glory, and now the "Kirin Daily" is showing signs of resurrection, how can they not be excited.

"Everyone." Li Zhiwen buttoned the table, focused everyone's attention, and said: "The "Kirin Daily" has been successful, but we can't lie on our laurels and enjoy the blessings, or we can only be surpassed by others, the old king of the editorial department, You are an old man in the company, and you are well-connected in Hong Kong newspapers. You will assist Xi Ziqiang from the personnel department to dig out people in various newspapers. You can dig as long as it is useful to our company."

   "Okay, boss." The two agreed.

"Cai Yong, the advertising department can attract investment, but the advertising price should be aligned with the "Oriental Daily". Don't look at the current "Kirin Daily" from the previous perspective." When Li Zhiwen accepted the "Xiangjiang Daily", he referred to the previous advertisers. All were refunded, and a large amount of compensation was paid for this.

   "Okay, boss." Cai Yong replied.

"Director Zhang, the printing factory will continue to expand, build factories, and purchase machines. I am going to separate the printing factory and set up a book publishing company in the future. The printing factory will have a great responsibility in the future, and a small paper mill can be purchased appropriately. Wait for supporting facilities, I will let Finance allocate you 2 million Hong Kong dollars for support."

   "Okay, boss." Zhang Chuang said. If the printing house becomes independent, his power will expand, so the smile on his face cannot be restrained.

"In addition, overseas overseas departments were established to establish distribution networks in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, RB, and South Korea. The previous relationship should be established, and the ones that have disappeared. Come and be responsible, strive to establish within three months, I will let the finance allocate you 3 million Hong Kong dollars." Li Zhiwen said.

   "Okay, boss." Ren Zhong was overjoyed when he heard that he had been promoted.

   "In addition, the HR department will send out the recruitment advertisement. The newspaper needs to hire the general manager. Someone submits the resume. Bring me the resume. I will interview in person, and I will also look for a headhunting company to follow up the matter," Li Zhiwen said.

   Everyone was a little frustrated. They all knew that Li Zhiwen had other careers and would definitely not be the president of the newspaper, but they also expected that the general manager might be selected from among themselves, and the result was an external hire. They couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

   "How about "Fashion Beauty"?" Li Zhiwen asked Zhang Ze, the head of the magazine.

   "100,000 copies have been printed? The advertisements for "Kirin Daily" and "Oriental Women" have been running for 3 days. It depends on when they are published."

   Li Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "Then let's be Monday."

   "Okay, boss." Zhang Ze said.

   Li Zhiwen thought for a long time, and there was nothing important, so he let them go busy.

   Li Zhiwen came to Zhao Ya's house after finishing the newspaper office, and reached out and handed her the "Fashion Beauty" magazine brought back from the newspaper office.

   Zhao Yazhi saw the beauty on the cover of the magazine with her mouth wide open. It took a long time to calm down. Like Li Zhiwen asked, "Is this me?"

   "Of course, a brand new you, a dazzling you." Li Zhiwen said.

   Zhao Yazhi cried Li Hua Xueyu said: "Awen, why are you so good to me?"

   "Sister, I like you, and I don't want to be too good to the person I like." Li Zhiwen persuaded for a long time. Then he asked Zhao Yazhi: "Sister, how do you look at this magazine."

   Zhao Yazhi looked at it for a long time and said, "I think it's very good. It is so beautifully made and has the potential to become a big fire. You are really amazing."

   "Of course, don't see who did it." Li Zhiwen said.

   "Smelly beauty" Zhao Yazhi scolded with a smile, and then said: "Awen, how are your movie preparations?"

   Li Zhiwen said: "Lack of a handheld photographer."

   Zhao Yazhi thought for a while and said, "I recommend someone to you."

   Li Zhiwen asked: "Who?"

  Zhao Yazhi: "It's Liu Weiqiang, the photography assistant for "The Crazy Tribulation" I filmed before."

   Liu Weiqiang was a famous director and cameraman in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, and a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong Awards. "Carmen in Mong Kok" is his photography, and the "Young and Dangerous Boys Series" directed by him has set a high box office. He is an all-rounder who can direct and photograph. If Liu Weiqiang can be brought into the Kylin Film Company, it will be for The company added a general.

   Zhao Yazhi saw Li Zhiwen not speaking, and worried that he would not look down on Liu Weiqiang, so he said: "Liu Weiqiang is a wizard, don't think he is just a photography assistant, but photography skills are no less than photographers."

   Li Zhiwen asked: "Will he come?"

   Zhao Yazhi thought for a while: "I can convince him."

   While Li Zhiwen was looking at Liu Weiqiang, Liu Weiqiang was also watching him. The two looked at each other, and Li Zhiwen stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu!"

   "Hello!" Liu Weiqiang smiled at him and nodded.

   Liu Weiqiang is still just a rookie now, in his early twenties. He has been a photographic assistant for two years, and he has not taken the shot for the first time.

   As the referrer, Zhao Yazhi smiled and said in a lively atmosphere: "Everyone is a friend, you two are so polite and do what you do, please sit down."

   Liu Weiqiang looked at Zhao Yazhi. He wanted to know what Zhao Yazhi's purpose was to come out and see Li Zhiwen by himself.

   Zhao Yazhi also didn't say clearly, only introduced that Li Zhiwen was the author of "Xun Qin Ji", and everyone made an appointment to make friends for dinner.

   The three of them started chatting, and gradually they talked about the movie.

  Zhao Yazhi’s helper Li Zhiwen touted: "Aqiang, you don’t know, I just finished filming the "Shanghai Beach" and he was A Fei’s screenwriter, and he is also the assistant screenwriter of this TV series."

   "Oh, it turned out to be like this." Liu Weiqiang nodded, but still didn't understand what Zhao Yazhi and Li Zhiwen asked him to do. In fact, he is not familiar with Zhao Yazhi, he met when he was filming "Mad Jie", and the two had never seen each other alone before.

   Li Zhiwen asked casually: "I don't know where Mr. Liu is now?"

   Liu Weiqiang replied: "I am eating together wirelessly, and occasionally come out to pick up some work."

   Seeing that the time is right, Li Zhiwen threw out an olive branch and said: "I have a job here, I don't know if Mr. Liu is willing to come and help."

   Liu Weiqiang didn't understand what Li Zhiwen meant, and asked: "Which director is Mr. Li helping to make a movie?"

   Li Zhiwen did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a notebook and pushed it to Liu Weiqiang on the table, saying, "Mr. Liu can take a look at this first."

   "Sub-shot script?" Liu Weiqiang opened it, and suddenly cried out in surprise.

   The sub-shot script of "Happy Ghost" was drawn by Li Zhiwen. However, Li Zhiwen's painting skills are too poor. Often one or two lines represent a person's body. The head is drawn more carefully, but the effect is particularly weird and funny.

   Liu Weiqiang wanted to laugh as soon as he saw the expression on the sub-camera script, watched it for several minutes before holding back, and forcibly turned his attention to the design of the sub-camera.

   Before reading two pages, Liu Weiqiang was shocked. Some of the lens designs in this script are very innovative and ingenious, which he has never heard of. When he saw the fourth page, Liu Weiqiang finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, who drew this sub-shot script, can you recommend me? I want to visit that expert personally."

   "Hehehe," Zhao Yazhi couldn't help being amused for a while, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com pointed to Li Zhiwen after smiling, "This expert is not someone else, he is far away and close in front of him."

   "Mr. Li painted it?" Liu Weiqiang's thinking was a little messy.

   Li Zhiwen smiled modestly: "A little trick. When I was in the police academy, there were always strange ideas that I thought about."

   Although the footage is somewhat similar to the comics, the difference is still very big. Liu Weiqiang obviously didn't believe Li Zhiwen's words, but he didn't ask too much. Anyway, these sub-shots cannot be faked. He actively said: "Which director is this "Happy Ghost" filming?"

Li Zhiwen took out his business card from his pocket and said: "Hello, Mr. Liu, now I solemnly introduce myself. My name is Li Zhiwen, the owner of Kylin Film Company, and the director, screenwriter and producer of "Happy Ghost". ."

   Liu Weiqiang held that business card, his brain became less and less, and it took him a long time to stare at his glasses and ask: "Are you still the director?"

   Li Zhiwen smiled and said, "You heard me right. I wonder if Mr. Liu would like to join the crew of "Happy Ghost"?"

   If Li Zhiwen invites Liu Weiqiang as soon as he arrives, Liu Weiqiang is likely to decline politely. However, after being impacted by the sub-shot script of "Happy Ghost", Liu Weiqiang only considered for a few seconds, then nodded and agreed, without even mentioning the money.

   Li Zhiwen did not invite Zhong Zhiwen to join his company, because the relationship between the two has not yet reached that level, and Zhong Zhiwen is not clear about the future of Qilin, and it is a waste of words to say it.

   Now that the business has been settled, the next topic is much easier. Liu Weiqiang points to some shots in the sub-shot script to ask questions from time to time, and Li Zhiwen also explains and answers with some reservations.

   When Liu Weiqiang left, Li Zhiwen and Li Zhiwen also left the restaurant.
