Time: May 18th.
After 17 days of filming, the production team of "Gambling Hero" wrapped up three days ahead of schedule.
Zhou Qiming once again felt the efficiency of Xiangjiang movies.
Next, the film was edited and announced. It was scheduled to be released in Hong Kong on June 28th a month later.
It was June 1990.
The weather was getting hotter.
It was so hot that Zhou Qiming kept fanning himself with a fan.
That afternoon, he was in a factory on Lantao Island.
In the factory that was about the size of a football field, all kinds of machines were roaring.
Pirated discs were produced from the machine.
"Boss, this is a newly produced CD.”Bao Wenzan, wearing white gloves, took a disc from the machine and showed it to the boss.
Zhou Qiming took the disc and examined it carefully.
This was a finished product, and it still needed to be printed with information related to the movie," Gambling Hero ".
That's right, this factory produced pirated discs.
He had stolen his company's unreleased movie,'Gambling Sword'.
Pirate yourself. You didn't expect this, right?
The reason was not complicated. The main reason was that the pirated market was very large.
There were 6 million citizens in Xiangjiang City. Would everyone go to the cinema to watch a movie?
A movie ticket costs 30-40 yuan, while a pirated video only costs 2-5 yuan. What would you choose?
Apart from Xiangjiang, there was also the vast mainland with a population of 1.3 billion.
With such a large market, even if you don't do it, others will do it.
What Zhou Qiming did was to take advantage of both the original and pirated versions.
"How much can we produce?" Zhou Qiming asked.
"We can produce 20 million pills in two months.”Secretary Bao replied.
"Not enough. Speed up production and stock up at least 50 million tablets in two months.”Zhou Qiming said. He paused and added,"If we don't have enough manpower, we'll recruit more workers. We'll ensure that the three shifts rotate 24 hours a day. We'll give subsidies to the workers on the night shift.”
"Yes, boss."
It was a little hot in the factory. Zhou Qiming went out after looking around for a while.
"We must ensure that we can stock up on 50 million discs within two months.”Zhou Qiming emphasized once again when they were outside.
Two months was the period for a movie to be released.
After the film was released, they would release the 50 million discs that they had hoarded, especially in the mainland market.
As a result, not only would it not affect the release and sales of the original movie, but it would also earn money from the pirated version.
Maximize the benefits.
However, there was a loophole.
Within two months of the movie's release, others would put pirated discs on the market.
This was what Zhou Qiming wanted to solve next.
When he returned to the factory office, Dumb was already waiting.
"Boss, we've already spoken to the factories that produce pirated discs from East Star and Lian Sheng.'Gambling Hero' is a movie that we, Hongxing, shot. They promised to give us face and not pirate it for the next two days.”Dumb replied.
This was Zhou Qiming's solution to solve the problem of other people's pirated copies.
Use the power of the club to directly tell all the underground factories in Hong Kong that 'Gambling Hero' is my Hongxing's movie, and no one is allowed to pirate it. At least not during the two months of the movie's release.
Anyone who pirated Gambling Hero at this time would be disrespecting Hongxing.
If he didn't give Hongxing face, he would think about the consequences himself.
It was that simple.
Piracy was the biggest headache for the film companies in Hong Kong, and Zhou Qiming used the club's power to solve it.
He believed that the pirate factories in Hong Kong would give Hongxing face.
Yonghui's pirated products accounted for one-third of the Hong Kong market, so it was not difficult to control them.
Even if there were some who did not give Hongxing face, it was simple. When the time came, anyone who dared to pirate "Gambling Hero" would be killed.
"Not bad." Zhou Qiming nodded and looked at Dumb.
He sized up Dumb carefully.
His actions made Dumb nervous. He didn't understand how his boss looked at him.
"Dumb, your image is not bad. Have you ever thought of acting and becoming a big star?”Zhou Qiming said with a smile.
"What? Boss, are you saying that I'm going to be a big star?" Dumb was stunned.
He didn't expect the boss to say this.
Secretary Bao, who was at the side, also looked at Dumb up and down like his boss.
"Boss, Dumb's image can scare children to tears. As a celebrity, don't be afraid to scare the audience to tears.”Bao Wenzan teased.
Dumb nodded.
"I'm talking about his image. He's a natural villain.”Zhou Qiming smiled.
" Boss, I…" Dumb scratched his head and giggled,""I'm a boor and uncultured.”
Zhou Qiming stood up with a smile and patted Dumb's shoulder." Are there any suitable roles in the next movie? I'll arrange for you to play them. I have high hopes for you with your temperament!”
The boss said he was optimistic about me?
My temperament…There was a mirror in the office. Dumb couldn't help but walk over and take a look at himself in the mirror.
"Hehe!" Dumb smiled at the mirror." Can I be a celebrity with my temperament?”
"Brother Dumb, the boss is leaving." A voice came from outside.
The boss had already walked out of the office. Dumb quickly looked at the mirror and chased after him.
Zhou Qiming got into the car. His mobile phone rang and he received a call from Wang Zhuxian.
"Hubby!" Wang Zhuxian acted coquettishly on the phone." I miss you."”
"You missed me. I missed you too."
Sage Wang Zhu was promoting the movie at Ao Men.
Recently, the cast and crew of " Gambling Hero " had been promoting the movie in Hong Kong. As the female lead, Wang Zhuxian naturally followed the cast and crew to promote the movie.
"Baby, you've worked hard!" After exchanging a few pleasantries on the phone, the call ended.
A few words ignited the fire in Zhou Qiming's heart.
"We won't go back to the hillside villa, we'll go straight to Ao Men.”Zhou Qiming said.
After the convoy left Lantao Island, they turned towards the direction of Ao Men.
