On Children's Day on June 1, 1988, Wang Dadong finally ushered in another moment of glory when he reappeared.
This day was the opening day of the second Kentucky store he managed - the Jinmen Hexi South Building Store officially opened.
Double BUFF stacked with opening celebrations and children's day special package toys.
The opening of this store attracted countless people, and a long queue reappeared, queuing dozens of meters away from the door.
On that day, a hundred middle school students from Tianjin wore white wigs, a rockery goatee and bow tie, dressed as Colonel Sanders in front of the store and danced a chick dance.
In addition, Kentucky also followed the gingerbread man's practice and stipulated that each customer would receive a special Kentucky toy for spending over 20 yuan.
So this day, the sales of Tianjin and Kentucky exploded, with a single-day turnover exceeding 160,000 yuan, setting a new record for Wang Dadong's single-store sales in his business career.
Although like the capital in the first place, many people in Tianjin were not familiar with how to order food, how to enjoy hamburgers and fries, and some even ate bread and meat separately, which became a joke at that time.
But in Wang Dadong's eyes, these a little uninformed guests are extremely cute, far more cute than those in Beijing.
Especially that night, sales data from the capital came, and Wang Dadong learned that the sales volume of the capital store would only exceed 50,000 yuan in one day.
The people queuing at the gate of Kentucky, Beijing, are far inferior to the gingerbread man next to them.
Especially, there are as many as three toys given by Gingerbread Man, which have been upgraded again, including Gingerbread Man fluff toys, schoolbags and stationery.
He was even more frustrated and made it clear that it was definitely wise to avoid the gingerbread man and open a shop in Tianjin.
The fast food market in Beijing has grown too fast, and people in Beijing have been spoiled by the monster Gingerbread Man.
Relatively speaking, Tianjin's business here is much easier to do, and his Kentucky has no rivals yet.
If he is asked to make a prospect for his career in the new year, it is best if the gingerbread man is trapped in the capital and never go to Tianjin or other cities.
Wang Dadong now has the most urgent thing to quickly complete the original accumulation and strengthen himself in order to fight with the gingerbread man in the future. What he doesn't want is of course to see the gingerbread man again at the beginning of his new career Come here to make trouble with him.
Why did you have the Liang? Even though he was a Chinese American, he still fully realized the melancholy of the ancients at this time.

It was also in early June that it was officially named "Mist Weekly", which belonged to the first issue of the fashion magazine under Ning Weimin Huiwentang Bookstore, and was published in Japan.
Although the name is completely divided with "Ordinary PANCH", I can't enjoy the dividends of the original magazine's readership group.
However, because with the help of MAGAZINEHOUSE's distribution channel, the single-issue circulation of this magazine still reaches 310,000 copies.
This achievement is already good for a newly-launched magazine.
At least, Ning Weimin can make money by making this issue's first issue. However, he has made a circulating volume of less than 100,000 yuan and may lose money.
Of course, as a "visual reading", the quality of the first issue of "Mist Weekly" is indeed remarkable.
Large-scale photo shoots are one of the characteristics of the "Ordinary" series of magazines in the past.
Singers, popular song books, movie stars, and photo idols often occupy a large amount of the magazine's content.
While retaining this traditional model and content, Ning Weimin also spent a lot of money to upgrade the magazine's color pages.
This is a bold move.
You should know that Japanese magazines currently coexist with black and white and color printing, which can save costs.
However, Ning Weimin's move caters to the current social background of the prosperity of Japanese society. He has made excellent first issue no matter how much it is.
It is equivalent to directly promoting the advancement of fashion magazines.
As a result, the first issue was immediately recognized by many readers.
In addition, "Mist Weekly" does have exclusive news sources.
This time during Cannes, the relevant interviews that won the award of "Crazy Rich" almost shocked the attention of the Japanese entertainment industry.
"Mist Weekly" also launched two original columns: "Celebrity Family Visit" and "Fashion Product Review".
The fashionable product reviewed in the first issue was the trolley suitcase sold by Ning Weimin, and the celebrity visited was Keiko Matsumoto.
The specific content of the "Product Evaluation" column shows the purpose, parameters and prices of the trolley suitcase.
A visit to celebrity families, he even published photos of the interior of Matsumoto Keiko's villa and private photos of her daily life, and also disclosed the exclusive news that she was pregnant and was about to become a mother.
These two columns are very consistent with the contemporary people's curiosity and consumption mindset.
To this end, Ning Weimin's fake public service for private purposes not only promoted the sales of trolley suitcases, but also narrowed the distance between idols and fans, eliminating the sense of distance between Japanese stars for the public.
It made "Mist Weekly" a hit and became a hot publication, attracting many paper media to quote reports.
At the same time, as a TV media, TBS TV is not willing to be lonely, and is even closer to the water and get the moon first. He uses his good relationship with Ning Weimin to benefit from it and takes the initiative to invite Matsumoto Keiko and the crew of "Crazy Richmond" On TV to do a show.
At the same time, for the sake of the program effect, the director of the TV station also asked someone to edit some of the movie "Crazy Richmond" and broadcast it directly with the movie music on the TV program.
I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good.
After all, MTV is still a new generation of things in this era. Some of the quality circulated on the market is quite poor. How can it be as beautiful and exquisite as the movie pictures?
So many Japanese viewers call when watching the show, asking where to buy such video tapes. Inspired by Taurus Palace, Taurus Palace immediately struck while the iron was hot and according to this pattern, it was directly bought by enthusiastic TV viewers.
Two hundred thousand karaoke video tapes were swept away and they had to be printed.
Then the TV screens of Snaku and karaoke in Tokyo became free promotional points for "Crazy Richmond".
No need to say, all of this further promoted the personal reputation of Matsumoto Kyoko and the fame of all the crew members of "Crazy Richmond".
How could they be unhappy when the videotape and movie soundtrack sales were immediately increased, and even brought new financial resources and additional income to Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
But then again, after all, happiness in the world is limited, and happy people are particularly hated in the eyes of frustrated people.
And outstanding people often have enemies, as are Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
Kinji Fukasaku is the one who hates them to the core.
Although he has missed the best director since the Academy Awards ceremony last year, he has been much more at ease.
I have never asked the media tabloid to smear Matsumoto Kyoko, nor have I dared to contact him in private and deliberately target Matsumoto Kyoko.
Even if he knew that Matsumoto Keiko had a conflict with the combustion system and a war broke out, he just sat down and watched the changes and did not disturb the matter.
But he knew best in his heart how much he hoped that Keiko Matsumoto would be in trouble.
Nothing else, just because Matsumoto Keiko suddenly rises like a legend, everyone dare not underestimate it.
Especially, the destruction of Zhou Fangyu Yuxiong of the combustion system made Keiko Matsumoto at its peak. Since he offended Keiko Matsumoto, who has become the capital of the Japanese film industry, he has almost no place to gain a foothold in the Japanese film industry.
Originally, with his talent and artistry, he should be the most beloved director of the "Five" and should be the most outstanding representative of Japanese film directors. He is most qualified to be compared with Akira Kurosawa. characters.
But because of this, Songzhu stayed away from him, and the next film "The No. 4" that he had originally agreed to direct was also replaced.
Now even his old boss "Toei" is unwilling to work for him again, worried that this will cause dissatisfaction among Kurosawa Akira and Mizuki Studios.
So, although he is a famous director, he is almost unemployed. He has been living in a waste of money for more than a year and has never received any jobs in a large studio.
Only some small film companies were willing to work for him, so arrogant that he had never directed a work, and no actress had ever climbed onto his bed.
Once a man loses his job and loses his ability to make money to support his family, even his always docile wife begins to dislike him.
But it's also good, because the reporters don't pay much attention to him anymore.
Otherwise, the ugly things that he and his wife would be in disagreement will definitely be known to everyone, which will seriously damage his last bit of self-esteem.
But this is not what makes Fukasara Kinji feel the most painful. Compared with his own situation, the more he lives Matsumoto Kyoko is getting better and better, and keeps achieving more and better success, which is the most heart-wrenching thing.
And even if he wants to not pay attention to these things, it is impossible, because explosive news about Matsumoto Keiko is often exposed on TV and in newspapers.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
For example, today, the headline of the newspaper life entertainment version he ordered was the title "Crazy Golden Legend" won the Cannes award, and the fog studio's big-scale film model is amazing", which made him want to turn a blind eye. Nothing can be done.
Three photos of the Cannes Film Festival, including half-body photos of Keiko Matsumoto holding an award.
And the report praised the movie continuously and was quite powerful. Basically, it was the newspaper suggesting that the Japanese-made movies that even Europe and the United States recognized, although they reflect the story of Chinese rich people, they are definitely It's worth watching, you will regret not watching it! Either go rent a videotape or just buy a plate.
The whole article is full of "The latest masterpiece of the Fog Studio", "Director Ozawa Tomoto worked hard to create", "Telisa Deng, Zunlong, Fei Xiang, Keiko Matsumoto, Tomokazu Miura, Ken Utsui and other actors Starring" and "Chinese supernova Cui Jian, Zhang Qian, Yao Peifang" and other eye-catching words.
Such slogans made Kinji Fukasaku suddenly feel that his eyes were rubbed into dust, and there was an indescribable dazzlingness.
And there was also a revelation that Matsumoto Kyoko revealed that she was pregnant, and there was another recent recent photo.
I have to say that the pregnant Keiko Matsumoto has become much fatter than before, but she is also much more beautiful.
And it made Fukasara Kinji involuntarily remember Koxia, played by Matsumoto Keiko in "The March of Kamata".
Thinking of this, Kishiki Kishi felt more and more jealousy accompanied by anger, condensed into a depressed aura, slowly rising from his throat.
The shadow-like thing slowly expanded on Dong's chest. He didn't dare to look on, otherwise he would inevitably feel depressed.
It took him decades to build the reputation of a famous Japanese director and the reputation of a literary master. Now he has lost all the female star who has been famous for his own movies. How could he accept it?
So this kind of hatred is really deep into the bone marrow, irreconcilable, and cannot be resolved. He really wishes he could not eat his flesh.
"Dingling" At this moment, the phone at the entrance rang.
Soon Fukasaki Kinji's wife found him and said, "If you have your phone number, go and answer it. Maybe it's work. Don't be too picky either. Otherwise, you will be forgotten by the film industry."
< br>Looking at his wife's disgusted face and listening to the heart-wrenching teasing, Kinji Mitsusa was so depressed that he wanted to go crazy.
These hateful women are really damn!
He stood up silently, walked to the entrance and picked up the phone on the table.
I didn't expect that the loud voice of Jiaochuan Haruki came from the other end of the phone.
So Fukasaki Kinji's brows stretched out, feeling that maybe his wife was really talking.
"Ah, is there anything?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
"I have something to discuss with me? Well, what exactly is it What's going on? Is it a movie? "
Kinji Fukasaku is really skilled, and he is indeed short of work, although the funding for films in Jiaochuan Film is very small.
But now he doesn't care about being picky anymore. As long as someone is willing to find him to make a movie, he doesn't care about anything. "In fact, this is the meaning. But in addition to this, I would like to invite you to meet someone. No, it won't take up too much time. We made an appointment in the old place, Drink and talk..." Jiaochuan Haruki on the phone suggested easily.
Kinji Fukasaku was stunned when he heard this. He was not a fool and realized that there was a deep meaning in this sentence. "Who do you meet? You have to explain the matter clearly to me. A person like you suddenly called and solemnly said he wanted to introduce a friend to me. I was really flattered! Don't look at me like this, I'm actually very timid, hahaha!"
Kinji Fukasaku deliberately laughed loudly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll just say that there is a wealthy Asian family willing to continue to invest in us and let us make big-name movies. The first movie is about 10 million US dollars..."
" Is there such a good thing? Are there any additional conditions? "
"They just hope that we can choose movies to snipe at the fog studio's screening project, and take away the box office of the fog studio as much as possible. It would be better to squeeze this studio out. How about it? Are you a little interested? "
"Don't make such jokes. Why should I do this?" Xin Er in the Mitsusa was stunned for a moment, and immediately deny. "Okay, then I'll pretend you're out of interest. Goodbye." Unexpectedly, Haruki Jiaochuan was not nostalgic at all.
Shinzaki Shinzaki quickly spoke out and tried to stay.
"Wait, you'll explain clearly first, who is the other party? Why target the Mist Studio?"
"Okay, I'm not afraid to tell you that it's the Guo family in Asia. …”
"Guo family? Are they not Zhou Fangyu Xiong's former backer..."
Kiner Mitsusa was shocked and unconsciously raised his voice, "How dare you contact them? Are you I'm not afraid of the ending like Zhou Fangyu Xiong..."
"Oh, it's not me who found them, it's them who found me. I just don't know what to do, so I came to you to discuss it. I want to ask what if it was you, what would you do..."
Haruki Jiaochuan, Jiaochuan He takes retreat as advance, and speaks with great skill. "Director Shenzao, the key now is what you think, I don't care." Jiaochuan Haruki fanned the flames like a matter of nothing. "If you don't come, I will refuse them and concentrate on making two movies adapted from novels. Anyway, I'm just making movies for interest, and Jiaochuan's main business is still the publishing industry."
Listen to him like this He said, Fukasato Kinji could no longer hold back, "Ah, no, don't refuse. It's better to meet. We can have a drink...
"Okay, at five o'clock in the evening, The SORA club in Ginza is dressed more handsomely, don’t be too decadent, otherwise it will make people distrust…”
Jiaochuan Haruki also agreed readily, especially in the end, he did not forget to stimulate Mitsusato's 11-1 short time.
This was indeed useful. After hanging up the phone, a light appeared in Kinji Mitsusaki's eyes, as if he had made up some kind of determination. (This chapter ends)
