Chapter 853 Situation and Pressure

After 7-11 opened, the number of "Qilin Daily" delivery points located around these 50 stores has decreased a lot.

Because "Qilin Daily" is placed inside 7-11 for everyone to read, naturally there is no need for special personnel to distribute and guard it.

It's also very interesting to say that after "Qilin Daily" entered the 7-11, those white-collar workers who usually just take it and walk away were a little embarrassed to go in and pick up the newspaper empty-handed. They usually tried to read it. Buy something to avoid embarrassment.

This has actually increased the business volume of 7-11.

7-11 not only sells newspapers and magazines, but also sells records.

Whether it is the popular Teresa Teng, Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng, Leslie Cheung, Tan Yonglin, Chen Baiqiang, Japanese, European and American singers, or classical music, there are at least twenty or thirty kinds.

And these records are selling pretty well.

After white-collar workers come in and see their favorite singers, it is very common for them to sell one. After all, the price is not expensive.

This is a bit like robbing those record stores of their business.

But that’s how business is. In these businesses that have no barriers and no technical content, either you are robbing me, or I am robbing you. Whoever has the ability can grab customers and make money.

When it comes to stealing business, isn’t it because there are so many taxi shops in Hong Kong that 7-11 has stolen a lot of business?

The same goes for newspaper guys, breakfast shops, bakeries, and even copy shops...

Leaving aside the fact that 7-11 has created so many enemies, let’s get back to the record.

In the past half month, the best-selling albums in Hong Kong and even the entire Asian Chinese-speaking circle are no longer Zhang Guorong in February or Tan Yonglin in March, but Chen Baiqiang, who released an album in April.

The album "Take Care of Tonight" did not break Leslie Cheung's sales record at first, nor did it reach the level of Tan Yonglin. However, as time passed, word of mouth continued to spread, and the album sold better and better. Tam Wing Lin's record is getting closer.

Unlike the previous Cantonese album "Take Care of Tonight", among the 12 songs, 3 are Mandarin songs, which was stipulated by Yin Junqiang.

Although the Hong Kong music scene is still dominated by Cantonese, if you don't speak Mandarin or sing Mandarin songs for a long time, your ties with the mainland will not be so close, and you will not be suitable for selling records throughout Asia.

Hong Kong is not only Hong Kong’s Hong Kong, it is not only China’s Hong Kong, but also Hong Kong’s Hong Kong in Asia.

Although this sentence is a bit convoluted, it is Yin Jun's inner thought.

There is no future for Xiangjiang to develop alone.

Only by integrating it into the entire Chinese country and the entire Chinese-speaking society can we have a broad market and a broader future.

Of course, in order to obtain so many benefits, Xiangjiang has a lot to do.

It is necessary to serve as a pioneer in the cultural expansion of the Chinese language.

The records of Tan Yonglin and Chen Baiqiang have such a flavor in them.

"Take Care of Tonight", whether it is "Take Care of Tonight", "The More We Kiss The More Sad", or "Ye Ye Ye Ye", they all have excellent lyrics and music skills, coupled with the efforts of the current and future songwriters , the quality of records would not be out of date even in the 1990s, let alone in 1981 when there was little competition.

In any era, good songs will make people like them.

Even in the last era of records, wouldn't Jay Chou's records be able to sell millions of copies?

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Baiqiang became famous.

However, he and Tan Yonglin became popular one after another, which made the company's third singer suddenly feel a little enthusiastic.

Fei Xiang has just finished filming "Speed ​​of Life and Death", but at this time, he is no longer the same person as he was half a year ago. He has grown up and matured a lot, and has more specific pursuits for his future.

Fei Xiang actually prefers singing to making movies.

It was just that he was deceived by his idol Teresa Teng for a while, so he came to Xiangjiang in a daze and signed a full music and film contract with Qilin Culture.

Now that the filming of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" has been completed, which caused him great pain but gained a lot, then it's time to make an album, right?

Fei Xiang had such wonderful thoughts.

But when he went to the green Qilin Records recording studio to try singing a few songs, he was beaten down by a group of songwriters and producers present.

the reason is simple.

Although Fei Xiang studied drama in the United States, his pronunciation and expressiveness were not suitable for pop music.

If he wants to release a pop music album, he must undergo systematic training to adjust his voice and pronunciation.

Fei Xiang was not convinced at first.

But Huang Bogao didn't waste any time and took him directly to the recording studio where Teresa Teng recorded and let him listen to a trial recording of Teresa Teng. Fei Xiang said nothing and honestly started his own targeted recording. Sexual exercises.

Huang Bogao asked Yin Jun what Fei Xiang's music positioning was.

Should he take the Chinese route, or rely on his mixed-race advantage to directly hit the European and American markets?

Here, you can see how courageous Huang Bogao is.

A young man with no foundation at all actually wants to develop in Europe and the United States.

The reason why Huang Bogao is so confident is that he has an omnipotent boss.

People can use two English songs to praise Teresa Teng as a first-class queen. The album she has produced now is even more amazing. If she doesn't win the number one sales spot in the world, those people are blind.

The boss is so talented and asks him to give Fei Xiang two or three English songs and release a single every six months. If it takes one or two years, Fei Xiang will not be able to become a world-class singer?

However, Yin Jun rejected Huang Bogao's idea.

In terms of singing, Yin Jun is not very interested. Although he wants to cultivate stars, he also wants to create a lot of singers. But for things like an expedition to the European and American markets, only one diva sister is enough. He really doesn’t have that many Do this mentally.

At least now, Kirin Group has a loan of US$3.7 billion. It is simply impossible to say there is no pressure at all.

Although Yin Jun never showed anything on the surface, everyone around Yin Jun could see that Yin Jun's level of hard work had increased a lot.

Even if he wants to engage in music, he has to wait until Yin Jun pays back the 3.7 billion US dollars.

Only then did he have the energy to create new people one by one.

Today, the best way to repay debts is to make movies and TV shows on the one hand, and to actively focus on "Kilin Weekly" and its derivatives on the other.

If you are lucky, you can pay off most of the US$3.7 billion loan in about two years, and almost all of it can be paid off in four years.

Don’t forget, loans carry interest. The interest rate is 350 million U.S. dollars a year, which works out to 1 to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Not everyone in the wealthy families of Europe and the United States can afford it, let alone today’s Hong Kong.

If Yin Jun hadn't owned the big IP of Transformers, he would never have followed Goldman Sachs' advice and bought Disney two years in advance.

It was precisely because of the already established Transformers and because this opportunity was so rare that Yin Jun gritted his teeth and won it.

Four years later, in Xiangjiang, there is actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

That is, after Xiangjiang's real estate enters a trough, it will immediately begin to rebound within two years at most. The time was 1984.

This wave of rebound was basically smooth sailing. It did not plummet until 1997, and it took more than ten years for it to recover.

Super rich people such as Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, etc. took advantage of this opportunity and spent 13 years to become the top figures in the Chinese rankings.

Yin Jun doesn't like real estate, but he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to make a lot of money.

This time, the acquisition of United Artists Film Company, Disney, and 7-11 made him understand the importance of capital.

No matter how talented Yin Jun is, without capital as a backing, it is unlikely that his dream will come true.

Only with the help of capital, can Yin Jun's entertainment career gradually expand to the mainland, all of Asia, and the world!

Although Yin Jun can also develop slowly, the young man himself knows best. Although this is the safest approach, the key is that time waits for no man!

In a few years, Japan will make a mess of its capital market and the U.S. buying and selling market.

Columbia Pictures is about the same size as United Artists, but how much did Sony spend to buy Columbia Pictures in 1989?

The purchase price of 6 billion US dollars, agency fees and other various expenses add up to more than 600 million US dollars, which is close to 6.7 billion US dollars!

This is a crazy price!

If Yin Jun doesn't speed up his pace quickly, he will definitely be beaten when he competes with the Japanese who have suddenly become rich and don't know how to spend their money - the price of land in Tokyo is more than that of the entire United States. What are you going to do with it? Fight with others?

Therefore, even though he is working harder now and has more debt, Yin Jun still has to bite the bullet and buy the company he wants to buy, and then start the layout.

It is not an easy task to reorganize a company full of contradictions.

Now that Yin Jun has two such companies, it is even more difficult.

It is absolutely impossible to turn their situation around without three to five years.

In Hollywood, one movie and one success are not enough to make you a winner.

Only with continuous and stable success will you be accepted by Hollywood and become a reliable target in the eyes of movie fans and TV fans.

This is how the image of an entertainment company is established.

Only Yin Jun, who has so many classic movies, TV series, and variety shows in his vault, dares to move forward resolutely under such difficult conditions!

Even so, Yin Jun can't guarantee when he will successfully dominate Hollywood.

It is easy to gain a foothold, but if you want to convince them in Hollywood, which is dominated by Americans, this road will definitely be long and extremely arduous.

But if a person, a person who traveled from 42 years ago, doesn't even dare to have this dream, what's the point?

In his previous life, Yin Jun was a very aloof man, kind and unambitious. He just wanted to do the job he liked, get married and have children when the time came, and live a peaceful and happy life.

But back to 42 years ago, after more than three years of accumulation, Yin Jun already has a clear understanding of his future.

Something must be done.

I can't do anything else for our country and people who are in urgent need of proving themselves. I can only do it in the entertainment industry to make everyone proud of Chinese entertainment!

On a larger scale, this is also about spreading our culture!

Under the subtle influence of Chinese movies, TV series, variety shows... and other entertainment, we can't be demonized by others whenever something happens, right?
