Xu Jiaming's work efficiency far exceeded Li Mu's imagination. In less than forty-eight hours, Ning Hao had not yet completed the coordination, but he had already finalized the placement of advertisements in all areas given by Li Mu.
The implants in the clothing are from PEACEBIRD, which cost 300,000 yuan;
The bicycle's implant is Giant, and the implant costs 400,000;
The implantation of the mobile phone is a waveguide, and the implantation cost is 450,000;
The beverage implant is Coca-Cola, and the implant costs 500,000;
The implant in the car is a Mercedes-Benz, and the implant costs 500,000;
Yanjing Beer finally won the beer advertising placement in the entire film, and the placement fee was 250,000;
Not counting Makino Technology's 500,000 yuan in advertising fees, the advertising investment that Xu Jiaming helped him get now is already 2.4 million. Including Makino Technology's 500,000 yuan, the total is 2.9 million, which is more than he expected. is much higher.
Although Li Mu is sure that all advertising sponsors will be worth their money, others may not believe him if he says this. If he talks about these implants, a 2.4 million order can only talk about 140,000. One hundred thousand was not bad, but the reason why the amount of two million and four hundred thousand was settled so quickly, Li Mu knew that most of it was for Xu Jiaming's sake.
With all the funds in place, even if the 2 million budget is spent, the film will earn at least 900,000 yuan. For Li Mu, the important thing is not the amount of 900,000 yuan, but this beautiful start.
With Xu Jiaming's help in attracting advertising sponsorships, at least the reputation of Makino Video has been spread among business celebrities. When the micro-movie "Oldboy" becomes popular nationwide, these sponsors and business celebrities will Regardless, everyone will truly realize the potential of Makino's images. When new films are launched in the future, there will definitely be no shortage of investment and advertising sponsorship.
For Li Mu, filming "Oldboy" is not just to help with simple planning and hype. Deep in his heart, he really wants to get involved in the film and television entertainment industry, not just TV variety shows, but also film and television production and distribution, and even If the domestic theater chain market, which is booming in the future, develops normally, China will become the world's largest film market in 2017. By then, the market value of Wanda Cinemas, a subsidiary of Wanda Group, will easily exceed 100 billion, not including The huge profits from the movie box office and the huge market space derived from movie peripherals. Li Mu could not convince himself not to get involved in such a huge market.
Therefore, the "Oldboy" micro-movie is more like a stepping stone for me to break into the film and television industry. As long as it can be fast, accurate and ruthless, Makino Imaging can officially enter the ranks of film and television companies. Moreover, I still have Ning. With Hao in hand, there are still a lot of celebrities and famous directors who will be popular in the future but are not famous yet to discover. It is not difficult to get a share of the film and television entertainment market.
…
Just after Li Mu took the time to sign all the advertising placement contracts, Zhao Kang came back from his hometown of Haizhou. Li Mu took care of him. He said to Li Mu at the dinner table: "The taxi company has been done for seven years." Brother Liang helped us get the license, government relations, and low-interest bank loans. Now the two of us have taken out the money, and the car purchase contract has been signed. Once the loan is available, we can buy the car immediately. "
Li Mu then asked: "How many cars did you buy in total? What type of car did you buy?"
Zhao Kang said: "There are three million funds in total, of which 300,000 are used to rent the venue and set aside as working capital. My dad looked at the remaining money and finally decided to buy 30 Altos and 20 Xiali sedans. He said that cars with trunks like Xiali are more likely to attract customers at the station and are more popular, and drivers have also started to be recruited."
Li Mu said: "Let Uncle Zhao decide these things by himself."
Zhao Kang said with a smile: "You are right, give your parents a career. My dad is full of energy every day now and is more dedicated than when he was working before."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Li Mu said: "I want to bring Zhengdao into the plug-in business."
Zhao Kang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Zhengdao is a very good person, and we are having difficulties now, so it would be good to bring him in. It just so happens that we still have some markets that we have not yet explored, which we can leave to Zhengdao."
Li Mu nodded and said: "That's what I mean, but I have to go back to Haizhou soon to shoot the short film of "Old Boy", so I'll leave it to you to let Zhengdao come in. I'll call him out tonight, and the three of us will Let’s chat together, tell him the general operation mode, and give him a list of markets that have not been explored yet. How far he can go depends on his ability, but he must be cautious and not blindly advance.”
Zhao Kang said: "I understand, don't worry. By the way, I will start taking care of the Internet cafe in the next two days?"
Li Mu said: "Let's start taking care of it. You can also ask Zhengdao to help you. In this series of matters related to plug-ins, what we lack now is a trustworthy helper."
In the evening, Li Mu called Hu Zhengdao out and took him directly to the house in Yucheng Garden, where he and Zhao Kang were going to talk to Hu Zhengdao about the follow-up of the legendary plug-in.
Hu Zhengdao had contact with Zhao Kang when he was promoting 3321 and knew that he was Li Mu's high school classmate. As soon as he walked in and saw that he was there, he knew that what Li Mu was talking about was done with him. After the two said hello, Hu Zhengdao was not in a hurry to ask Li Mu and waited for Li Mu to speak.
Li Mu asked Hu Zhengdao: "Zhengdao, have you ever played Legend?"
Hu Zhengdao nodded: "Yanan's mother played for a few days before her accident, and even got a second card, but she hasn't played since then."
Li Mu said, "It will be easier once you have played it." After that, he opened the Legend client on a computer and said to Hu Zhengdao, "Log in to your account."
Hu Zhengdao sat in front of the computer. According to what Li Mu said, he logged in to his account and selected the district server where he was located - District 2 Light.
Hu Zhengdao was using a warrior character who was now at level 10. As soon as he entered the game, Hu Zhengdao turned to Li Mu and asked: "Brother Mu, what are you going to do next?"
Li Mu then said: "Press F12."
Hu Zhengdao clicked F12 and found that the game interface changed instantly. His character logged in and appeared in Beech's forest. Because it was night, the field of view around the candle was still very small, but after pressing F12, the field of view of the entire interface Everything is displayed in front of you, and players who occasionally walk by have a red health bar on their heads.
Hu Zhengdao said: "Why is this so similar to that plug-in called Legend Overlord? It seems that when I played Legend, everyone was using that plug-in."
Li Mu said: "This is the official paid version of Legendary Overlord. The previous free version is no longer available. If you use it, you will find that this plug-in has many more functions than the previous free version. It does not require wax, shows blood, and can penetrate people." It’s the most basic function.”
Hu Zhengdao nodded and asked Li Mu: "Is this what we have to do? Plug-in?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "I developed the Legendary Overlord, and we also handle the sales."
Hu Zhengdao looked at Li Mu dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the Legendary Overlord plug-in that almost everyone in the Internet cafe used was developed by his roommate. This really made him feel a little incredible.
However, when he thought about Li Mu's unusualness, Hu Zhengdao felt relieved. He had a lot of things to worry about. 3321 was much larger than the pattern of a game plug-in, so there seemed to be no need for him to be surprised.
Hu Zhengdao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, even if you tell me one day that you even developed QQ, I don't think I will be surprised."
Li Mu smiled and said: "The plug-in is not something difficult, it is just a small program that can make money. Now Legendary Overlord still has agents in some cities that have not been developed. I asked Zhao Kang to compile a list. Take a look for yourself. Think about where you can try it, starting with the closest places."
Zhao Kang opened a form on another computer and told Hu Zhengdao in detail how to expand the agent.
"Normally, I just go to the local Internet cafes of a certain scale and scan all the Internet cafes, and negotiate with the Internet cafe owner about the commission amount and settlement cycle. Currently, the fees are settled once a week."
In addition to the promotion method, Zhao Kang also told Hu Zhengdao the commission model.
For every monthly activation code sold, Hu Zhengdao could get a basic commission of two yuan. Li Mu wanted to train Hu Zhengdao as one of his own, so he raised the commission to three yuan.
This commission amount is already very considerable. Now Legend Overlord can easily sell thousands of copies within the urban area of a fifth-tier city. If the channels are opened up and Legend continues to be popular, there will be room for commission. It’s so big that if Hu Zhengdao can develop channels with tens of thousands of users, it’s not impossible for his monthly income to exceed 100,000.
Hu Zhengdao listened carefully and nodded lightly. The sales model of plug-ins is very simple, which is to cast a wide net. Cooperating with Internet cafe owners is the simplest, most convenient and most direct way of cooperation, so scanning Internet cafes has naturally become the most important thing in market expansion. One ring.
Hu Zhengdao asked Li Mu and Zhao Kang: "If I use 3321's Alipay, can I eliminate the middleman?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Your idea is correct, but it is not realistic in terms of plug-in sales. Most of the legendary players are young, mostly middle school students. Whether they have bank cards or not, how can they use Alipay? In addition, After all, the plug-in thing is a gray industry that only touches the sidelines, so it’s best to operate quietly.”
"Understood." Hu Zhengdao nodded, looking a little eager to try: "When should I start?"
Li Mu said: "If you do this, you will have to give up tutoring, otherwise you will not be able to be busy at all. You have to coordinate your own time schedule. No matter what, don't delay your studies."
Hu Zhengdao said seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Mu, I will arrange it. It doesn't matter if you have shortcomings now. You can catch up if you work harder."
Li Mu nodded and said nothing more. Hu Zhengdao had a poor background and was calmer than the other people in the dormitory. He was not too worried about the details.
