Don't call me Master, call me Director

Because the contents of the DVDs sold on both sides are different, the North American version of the DVD has only one shell except for one disc, while the Japanese version of the DVD also comes with character stickers, movie setting booklets and other small things.

In fact, DVDs sold in North America also have a bonus setting set, but that is a deluxe edition priced at $35.

The reason for such a gap is due to the business strategy habits of both North America and Japan.

The sales strategy of Japanese entertainment companies has always been sustainable.

As long as it doesn't drain your wallet, suck it to death.

The one who developed this kind of sales thinking to the extreme is that fat man Akimoto Yasushi.

The series of business operations he completed when running the 48-series family in the future really wrote "I want all the money in your pocket" on his forehead.

In the past, the greetings among fans were "Have you bought the CD of your favorite idol?"

After Qiu Fatzi put the general election votes into CDs and sold them together, the greetings among fans became "How many CDs did you buy for your idol?".

There were even chains of contempt such as "How dare you call yourself a fan if you have less than 5 photos?!"

The entertainment industry environment like Japan has naturally created an extremely introverted ecology. In order to let fans buy discs, whether it is music CDs or video DVDs, some small gifts will be included to make consumers feel that they are worth the money.

It is a completely different situation here in Europe and the United States.

The pricing of the merchant has nothing to do with the cost, but depends on the limit of the consumer's affordability.

If consumers are willing to spend up to 10 yuan to buy their own things, then the prices of European and American merchants will not be as low as 9 yuan, even if the cost is less than 9 yuan.

Many people like to say that European and American merchants have high prices because they have high quality and a product culture, but in fact they are all fake.

There is only one reason why they will choose this pricing - how much consumers are willing to spend on their products.

This is why Europe, the United States and Japan cannot do business with rabbits, because the pricing habit of rabbits is to calculate profits based on costs, as long as they can make money.

It may not be so obvious in the entertainment industry, but in the real industry, various commodities are directly sold by rabbits at the price of cabbage.

So when it comes to doing business, if the rabbit wants to be the second in the world, no one dares to be the first.

However, the second master did not learn from Rabbit's pricing strategy, but followed the trend and sold as much as he should.

After all, the current Xingyue is too weak to overthrow the entire market.

When the Internet is more developed and the streaming media platform is launched, the second master will tell people all over the world what it means to make small profits but sell quickly.

It's just that the future is still unknown, and the immediate interests are the real things.

For Shinji, there is nothing more enjoyable than a large sum of money.

So at the beginning of August, when Times Group paid the first investment share to Xingyue Film Company according to the contract, Shen Er's face was full of smiles.

Although the DVD has just been launched and was not included in this share, but the box office plus various related peripherals, Xingyue received a total of 4500 million US dollars in dividends this time.

There is so much money in just the first dividend of a movie, which is enough to make countless people and companies envious and turn their eyes red.

"This amount of money is not enough to buy an ultra-luxury yacht."

In the Xingyue Movie Office, Kariya's voice was unusually loud.

"Since when did you become interested in yachts?"

Shinji raised his eyes and asked.

"Don't mention it, the last time I attended Toei's annual meeting, a director hugged a female star and talked to me about the private yacht for half an hour."

Kariya's tone was full of unwillingness.

"At that time, I decided that I must buy a yacht more luxurious than his."

"This is the company's share, and it has nothing to do with you, second uncle." Shen Er complained, "Don't worry about the share, you actor who earns a dead salary. If you really want to buy a yacht, you must go to grandpa or a rich woman."

"Looking for the old man? He probably wants to feed me a can of insecticide first. Last time he punished him on the set, he hasn't forgiven me yet." Kariya bared his teeth and said.

Shen Er didn't bother to talk to him, he just raised his left hand high and gave Kariya a middle finger.

"Forget about anything else." Kariya said anxiously, tugging on Shenji's shoulder, "The celebration party must be held! A grand celebration party! At least let me have fun with the female stars."

【Look at your shy look. 】

Shen Er hesitated whether to take a picture of his second uncle and send it to Uda Chuan Nan Ou.

"Let's hold it in a month." Cloris smiled. "Filmmakers who are closely related to the Time Group will also participate. We need to arrange the time."

"Then do as Lizzy said, and all the heroic spirits will participate then."

Shinji knew that this was a chance for Cloris to take a look at the movie that Time Group was going to shoot in Fuyuki City.

After all, starting a formal business negotiation directly can easily lead to a deadlock in the relationship. The two parties first communicate in a relatively relaxed environment like a party, and even if they refuse, it will not be too embarrassing.

Shen Er has already decided in his heart that he will not reject the project provided by Times Group. Even if he is not optimistic about the project itself, technical support is still no problem.

Anyway, no matter how bad the movie is, it has nothing to do with the special effects technical team, but the special effects team itself needs a lot of work accumulation to increase experience and technology.

Shen Er is determined to use other film projects as experience points for his team.

Of course, if there is a good project among them, Shen Er will also get involved.

Whether it is investing or providing heroes, Xingyue can provide help, and I believe the filmmakers of those projects will be interested.

"it's a pity."

Kariya turned to the sky and let out a long sigh.

If it was a banquet led by the Times Group, then he would definitely have no chance to pick up girls.

"You don't have to go if you don't like it."

"Then how can I do it!" Kariya quickly jumped to retort, "What if a director takes a fancy to my good looks? Why don't you ask me to act in a movie?"

"Ha ha."

Kariya got a taunt from Shinji.

Then before his second uncle could speak, Shen Er left the meeting room first.

"It's time to get off work, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, Shinji closed the door of the conference room under Kariya's dissatisfied eyes.

Shen Er didn't go downstairs directly, but went back to the office first.

The money was distributed today, and he was going to take a few close people, including Ophelia, to have a good meal and celebrate.

"Ophelia?"

After opening the office,

Shen Er found that the little secretary who usually ran over to greet him did not appear.

"She left work early? How rare."

While thinking this way, he opened the back room of the office and prepared to change into casual clothes.

Then, he saw it.

"What... what!? Ophelia!?"

Shinji called out loudly.

The one who came into the second master's sight was Ophelia, who was wearing a OL formal attire, and she was kneeling and sitting on the desk.

And for some reason, Ophelia's collar was opened very low, revealing half of the white lace underwear, and she was wearing black stockings with suspenders on her lower body, and she was holding a strangely shaped whip in her hand.

"Boss, please ravage me."

Ophelia said in a rather blunt tone, expressionless.

Chapter 9 The first global box office record

Move forward in time a little...

On the second day of Ophelia's "date" with Cloris, she wrote in her blog diary:

[I go on a date with Miss Flora, and she is very shocked. 〕

Li Jia: Hey hey hey hey hey hey! ! ! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

Titi: I think I'm shocked!

Yecao: Miss Yani, you... are really bold.

Yani: Will you?

Li Jia: Are you using the way of others to treat others?

Yecao: I am impressed by Miss Yani.

Li Jia: Uh, should you be impressed by this kind of thing? (⊙?⊙)

Yecao: And I was taught a lesson.

Li Jia: ￣△￣

Yecao: Ms. Yani made me understand that for those who dare to take action against other people's husbands and break through the moral bottom line, there is no need to talk about morals in the world, and they must do something that scares the other party!

Li Jia: I see... I also learned a lesson!Want to have an intimate relationship with the person my husband is having an affair with...Note, note...(???*)

Titi: No, I don't think it should be that far...

Yecao: Then what?What did the woman say?Did she say she would never pester your husband again?

Yani: She said she would not betray the master.

(Original words of Cloris: "Are you worried that I will cheat Shen Er? No, a genius like Shen Er can only make more money by cooperating with him, so I will not betray him.")

Li Jia: Hey hey hey hey hey hey! ! ! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

Titi: Sister Yecao is right, there is no bottom line for unlucky women.

Ye Cao: It's really a big heart to say such things to his wife.

Titi: It's not a big problem anymore, is it? !

Li Jia: Sure enough, we can only get a divorce!Hurry up and separate from that kind of man!This will only make you more unfortunate! (○??д?)?

Yani: I don't want to leave my master's side.

Yecao: Hey~ You must have your own reasons.

Titi: Don't admit defeat!All three of us are on your side!

Ye Cao: It's come to this point, I can only start from my husband!

Li Jia: Isn't it because it's too difficult?Didn't that man go to have an affair because he was tired of Miss Yani? (╯‵ ′)╯

Yecao: How about starting with the interest of the other party?Since Miss Yani's husband likes to play exciting things, I think we can start from this aspect.

Titi: Hey~~

Yecao: Titi, you have to know that when a couple enters a period of boredom, this is a good stimulus.

Li Jia: Will Miss Yecao also play like this at home? ?(????)

Night Grass: That's right, it's really refreshing to come here once in a while, especially when you're bored.

[Ye Cao withdraws a message. 】

Yecao: Ah!How could you make me say such a thing!

Titi: So, Miss Yecao, what advice do you have?

Yecao: Miss Yani, you have to conquer your husband.

Yani: Huh?

Yecao: Let me tell you, I will introduce you to a good website, specifically...

"Hmm...so that's the case, should I do this?"

Ophelia who opened the mysterious website didn't blush like an ignorant girl.
