"It's invincible in the same period, it's a terrible thing!" After hearing this rumor, Xia Tian did not take it seriously.

There are more than a thousand Hong Kong filmmakers, including many capable people, Cheng Long, who was a world superstar from a dragon and tiger martial arts master, Sir Shao, who started from scratch and achieved tens of billions of assets, and Hu Jinquan, a great director who won international awards and is famous overseas...

I have just made my debut, and even if I have some achievements, it is just that. If I want to be "invincible", I have to make a name for myself in Hollywood at least.

"President, this is our customized Falun. Do you think it's okay?" Tang Congsheng handed Xia Tiandao a sample of the pocket magic weapon customized for the comic "Buddha is the Tao".

This Dharma wheel is dark blue, the size of an adult's palm, and can be held in the palm of the palm. It is shaped like a rudder, and is densely engraved with Sanskrit scriptures. However, in the eyes of summer, this scripture should be mostly fabricated.

"How much did it cost?" Xia Tian asked curiously.

"It costs HK$15,000 to make molds alone, and customize 5,000 pieces, and the cost per piece is another HK$2. President, we are really taking risks this time." Tang Congsheng said with a bitter face.

The Falun is a plastic product, and the cost is relatively cheap. If it were made of metal, the price would probably be at least ten yuan. Even so, the price of a Falun is as high as five yuan now, while a comic only costs three yuan.

The gift items are more expensive than comics, which really corresponds to the ancient idiom "Buy a box and get a bead". How stupid people are to be fooled by this kind of evil. Anyway, Tang Congsheng vowed that he would never buy it.

"Don't worry, I believe this method will work." Xia Tian smiled confidently.

In order to collect the magic weapons given by the "Fengyun" comics, his classmates spent all their money, which shows how obsessed he was.

"Okay." Tang Congsheng saw that he nodded, and it was useless to persuade him, so he had to nod.

"When will the comic be officially released?" Xia Tian asked again.

"The first issue has been drawn, and I have asked the printing factory to print samples. I expect to get the first sample in the afternoon." Tang Congshenghui reported, "If the president feels that it is not bad at that time, then let them print in large quantities. The first print of 30,000 copies is expected to be completed tomorrow afternoon and officially launched the day after tomorrow." Tang Congshenghui reported.

"OK, it's done well." Xia Tian nodded, "How did readers react after the advertisement was published? Do you have any expectations for this comic?"

"Yes. Readers have strong reactions and want to see this comic as soon as possible. Many readers have sent their own figure images, and some of them have painted pretty well." Tang Congsheng smiled again, "I didn't bring those letters with me. If the president is interested, I will pick a few letters to you and read them."

"Okay, it's OK to care about the needs of readers." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "By the way, select a few pictures with good paintings or innovative ideas and publish them in our magazine. Just set up a column for readers' manuscripts so that readers can also participate."

"This idea is good. President, you are really smart." Tang Congsheng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

Xia Tian waved his hand. His idea was to learn from mainland entertainment magazines. Many entertainment magazines have fan letter columns, publishing letters written by fans to celebrities, and also graffiti drawn by fans for celebrities. That should be considered the "Baidu Tieba" in the era of paper media.

This kind of column should be more popular. Xia Tian remembered that his classmates were very obsessed with F4 back then, and once wrote a letter to "Contemporary Music World". Then he would buy one for each issue of "Contemporary Music World" to see if his letter was published. But maybe it was not written enough, and he didn't read it after buying it for half a year, so he was discouraged and never bought it again.

"Stop flattering, hurry up and do things." Xia Tian smiled again.

...

After dealing with Tang Congsheng, several major film companies sent bids again.

I don’t know if it is because of the rumor that “invincible in the same period”, the bids submitted by major film companies are significantly higher than before.

"Shaw Brothers four million."

"New Art City has four million and a half million."

"Jiahe 4.3 million."

"Darong is 4.2 million."

...

"Debao four million and two million."

"Yongsheng 4.9 million."

...

"I'll go, Yongsheng is crazy, right? Four and nine million?! He is so sure that the total revenue of this movie will exceed 50 million?" Xia Tian was shocked when he saw it.

"Brother Sheng, isn't you wrong? Four million and nine hundred thousand?! Are you so confident in me?" He quickly called Xiang Huasheng.

"Of course. Mr. Zombie, Taiwan alone sold 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Including the income from Nanyang and Hong Kong, it is at least 90 million. Even if this "Best Bad Friend" is bad, at least 60 million." Xiang Huasheng smiled, "Besides, aren't you claiming to be 'invincible in the same period'? Who else can I believe if I don't believe you?"

"I'll go, can you believe this? It's obvious that someone deliberately praised me and hung me up as a target to shoot me." Xia Tian said depressedly.

"A Tian, ​​I don't care what others think. In short, I believe in your strength. If you work hard, I will rely on you." Xiang Huasheng smiled.

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded.

He then informed other film companies of the result.

When I learned that Yongsheng had a dividend of 4.9 million, several companies including Xinyi City, Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, Darong were a little stunned.

"Four and nine hundred thousand is too messy. With such a high price, even if you bid, you will definitely earn it back? Isn't it too confident in Xia Tian?" He Guanchang curled his lips after hearing the news and said disdainfully.

In his heart, Xiang Huasheng and Xiang Huaqiang brothers should not be in the movie industry. It would be great to be a promising profession with a high-profile career, so why bother to come here to embarrass people?

4.9 million Hong Kong dollars! If "Best Bad Friend" loses badly at the box office, then their brothers will be devastated.

"The Xiang brothers don't look like random people. They spend so much money. Do you know some news that we don't know?" Zou Wenhuai frowned.

Based on his understanding of Xiang Huasheng and Xiang Huaqiang brothers, although both of them were from the Black X Association, they were not reckless men who only knew how to fight and kill. In fact, Xiang Huasheng is also a top student studying abroad, so he should not be so unpredictable.

"That's possible. Xia Tian is getting closer to the two brothers, maybe she revealed something to their brothers." He Guanchang nodded, "I also heard that Xia Tian asked Sir Shao to sell the movie to South Korea recently, and also heard that his distribution manager was contacting Japanese hospital merchants."

"So that's it. I didn't expect that he was a young man with great ambitions. He just started his business and wanted to enter Japan and South Korea." Zou Wenhuai said in surprise, "He really has an idea to ask for help from the Jazz."

"I heard that Jazz is very interested in his proposal. Recently, he is contacting some old friends in South Korea and want to rebuild the distribution channel. I think he plans to change Shaw from a production company to a distribution company and use his previous connections and channels to release movies. This can effectively utilize the connections he has accumulated before, and the cost is low, and it can also ensure profits due to drought and flood." He Guanchang also reported.

"Let him make trouble. If you don't make a film, how much money can you make by just releasing a movie?" Zou Wenhuai waved his hand. He still prefers to make a production by himself, publish by himself, and run a theater chain by himself, so that the meat can be rotten in the pot without having to be paid to outsiders.

He Guanchang also nodded, "But if the markets in South Korea and Japan were opened up by summer, his movies might indeed have increased significantly. In this way, 4.9 million Hong Kong dollars is not unreasonable."

"Let's take a look first. South Korea and Japan's two major markets are so easy to open? How much time and energy did you and I take to get it done? If he had made a situation with three punches and two kicks, wouldn't you and me live to be a dog?" Zou Wenhuai waved his hand. He didn't believe that Xia Tian could easily open up the Japanese and Korean markets.

Because he knew clearly how difficult those two markets were, it was no less than breaking apart the thighs of a chaste woman.

"Then how much will we have to bid next time?" He Guanchang asked again.

Last time it was only 3.8 million, but this time it was already 4.9 million. So will it cost more than 5 million next time?!

"Just write 4.6 million, which is not much profitable anymore. If it is higher, it would be better to invest in our own movies." Zou Wenhuai thought for a while.

In his opinion, although the movie "Best Bad Friend" is a comedy and has a guaranteed box office, it is at most only 170 to 8 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, the box office in Taiwan and Nanyang is only 50 million. One ingredient dividend is only 5 million, and spending 4.9 million to bid is simply an idiot.

...

In the afternoon, Xia Tian got the sample of the first issue of "Buddha is the Tao".

Because it is the first issue, the printing is particularly exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the content again, the drawings were also very good. The story was wonderful, the storyline was smooth, and the characters were beautiful, which was very in line with the expectations of summer.

"Yes, Xu Jingchen is a talent." Xia Tian nodded with satisfaction, "Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars, it's true that there is no waste."

Even if the general comic writer is famous, his monthly salary is only 40,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Like Ma Rongcheng, although he became famous in "The Hero of China", his monthly salary was only 80,000 Hong Kong dollars at this time. As for Huang Yulang's beloved disciple Zhang Wanyou, who served as the chief writer of "Dragon and Tiger Gate", his monthly salary was only 60,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Xu Jingchen had just climbed from assistant to chief writer, but he had not achieved his inch of his achievements, and he could receive a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, which can be said to be quite high.

And his performance did not disappoint Xia Tian. He painted this comic "Buddha is the Tao" both beautiful and exciting, and I believe it will definitely satisfy readers.
