Movie tycoon

Chapter 475 Becoming a Billionaire (Part [-])
It is said that Moying Entertainment's first film "God of Gamblers" broke the historical record in Hong Kong with a box office of 230 million on the first day.But in Chen Xiaotang's view, this is the first day. Whether a movie's box office is good or not, we have to wait until the weekly box office in a week's time, and the monthly box office in a month's time.It is too early to say that this movie is a hit at the box office.

Chen Xiaotang's extraordinary calmness could not prevent the major media from reporting on the record-breaking drama.

The next day.

"Big news! Big news! The premiere box office of "God of Gamblers" broke the record!"

"Extra, extra-large! The box office of "God of Gamblers" exceeded 200 million on the premiere day!"

"Hong Kong film premiere breaks another record, 230 million people write new history!"

.......
It has to be said that the box office of "God of Gamblers" broke the record on the first day, giving the whole Hong Kong movie a shot in the arm, proving that the curse of 200 million on the premiere day can be broken!
At the same time, all walks of life in Hong Kong's entertainment industry have also expressed different opinions.

First of all, Chen Xiaotang and his friends in the circle.

Zhang Guorong: "I'm really happy to hear this news. I've always watched Ah Tang's movies, and I even participated in the premiere of "God of Gamblers". If you attended the premiere like I did that day, you will understand what I mean."

Tan Yonglin: "It's a surprise, it's only been a few days since Ah Tang's record broke the record, and now his movie premiere broke the record again, this is really a miracle after another, or in other words, he himself is a person who is good at creating miracles! "

Chen Boxiang: "Accident? I'm not surprised at all! Ever since I met Tang Zai, this guy has always been elusive, doing some surprising things! If you say he came from Mars, I will believe it too! "

.....
Then there are some movie people.

Huang Boming of New Art City: "How should I put it, Mr. Chen Xiaotang has proved with his actual actions that the premiere box office of the "Best Partner" we once created can be broken. I hope he will continue to work hard and surpass us in the total box office. This drama, after all, can only develop if there is competition!"

Golden Harvest Cheng Long: "Hehe, Ah Tang's movie put me under a lot of pressure. The box office reached 230 million on the premiere day alone, which is really surprising, but I will continue to work hard, Tang Zai, let's work hard together! "

Wu Siyuan, honorary chairman of the Golden Image Awards Association: "Mr. Chen Xiaotang has proved the arrival of the prosperous era of Hong Kong film with his practical actions. We all need to work together to create brilliance together! Here, I solemnly invite Mr. Chen Xiaotang to join us to discuss the establishment of the film Matters of cooperation!"

……

If these voices are superficially praising Chen Xiaotang's "God of Gamblers", then the following remarks are a bit sour.

Tang Zhenye, a popular TV star and TVB Five Tigers general, said in an interview with the media: "In my opinion, the box office on the first day doesn't represent anything. Maybe it's just that you media made a big fuss. Besides, Chen Xiaotang relied on him to win on a gambling boat." A gimmick has attracted people's attention to this drama, this drama has just been released, and there is still a long way to go, it may be possible to have the last laugh!"

"Then Mr. Tang Zhenye, are you jealous of Chen Xiaotang?" The reporter couldn't help asking,

"I'm jealous of him? Oh, I'm joking! I made my debut earlier than him, and I was already popular before he was popular. It can be said that I also came here from somewhere. There is still a long way to go, let's keep working hard!"

Ni Zhen, a newly promoted screenwriter of Yongsheng Entertainment, also accepted media interviews: "God of Gamblers? I haven't seen this drama at all! How should I put it, because in my opinion, this drama has no connotation at all. It's a complete sensationalist! Especially the part where people become fools after amnesia, bloody, extremely bloody! So I suggest you take a look at my adaptation of "Wesley", so that you can learn a little bit of national culture!"

In contrast to Mr. Ni Zhen's indignation, Xiang Huasheng, the boss of Yongsheng, said very politely: "Well, how should I put it, Mr. Chen Xiaotang and I are also friends. I am also very happy that his movies are so good. Haha! However, this drama has just started now, and Yongsheng's "Wesley" is also showing great stamina, so let's watch the box office in a week, and then we will know which of the two dramas is the big winner!"

……

With everyone in the entertainment industry holding their own opinions on the record-breaking box office of "God of Gamblers" on the first day, people became more interested in this movie out of curiosity. It's hard to get a ticket in many places.

At the same time, He Gambling King also formally signed a contract with Chen Xiaotang, asking him to be the spokesperson for his major hotels and real estate, with an endorsement fee of 1000 million!

After receiving a check worth tens of millions, even though Chen Xiaotang reminded himself not to be greedy for money, being greedy for money is bad and wrong, but he still couldn't help holding the check and kissing wildly.

"Oh also! Get rich!"

Indeed, now Chen Xiaotang is indeed rich. You know, his original net worth was only 5000 million oceans. Let him earn 2000 million in one go—thanks to the pig-headed Mr. Zhou who "sees money like dung"—plus six movie theaters worth 500 million, Chen Xiaotang's net worth has reached an astonishing staggering amount at this time Ninety-five million!
But this is not over yet, don't forget, the 500 million that Chen Xiaotang made for Pan Disheng and Xu Jinheng as brand endorsements, and the huge endorsement fee of 1000 million given by the gambling king, now Chen Xiaotang has finally squeezed into the billionaire ranks!

Three years, starting from scratch!Work hard!Become a billionaire!It would be a lie to say that Chen Xiaotang himself was not moved.Chen Xiaotang was so moved, for his hard work and struggle.But at this moment, his mood is not what he thought before. He becomes crazy when he becomes a billionaire, his breathing is not smooth, and he is on the verge of death with excitement... It's just that his heart beats a little faster, and he is a little short of breath. Said he was immune to excitement?
Chen Xiaotang couldn't figure it out.

In fact, everyone is growing up all the time, and Chen Xiaotang is no exception. He used to imagine what it would be like to become a billionaire when he was poor, but when you really have to step by step and become such a rich man from nothing, it is gone. The excitement and passion of the past.

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang yawned with a tens of millions of checks after the excitement was over. He had no choice but to be busy with movie premieres recently, so he didn't sleep well.But now there is trouble again, he must consider the investment and use of funds.How do you say that sentence, the money you save in your hands is not money, only if you put it into the market operation, it is living money!
Especially Moying Entertainment is facing a big leap forward, Chen Xiaotang must allocate his capital chain reasonably, this is something that as a boss and investor, he must be able to handle it.

Chen Xiaotang roughly calculated, excluding the fixed assets of Moying Entertainment, the funds that can actually be operated are the 2000 million won and the 500 million obtained from the endorsement fee.

Zhou Xingchi and others who joined Moying Entertainment are currently filming "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", which needs 400 million filming funds.My future "Jing Wu Heroes" will require an investment of 800 million yuan even if I lower the film salary for myself. In this way, only 300 million yuan is left to live on. Chen Xiaotang plans to spend another 500 million yuan to acquire the Hong Kong local market Four movie theaters; in the end, there are 800 million left, of which 500 million Chen Xiaotang plans to build movie theaters in the mainland...

As soon as Chen Xiaotang proposed to build a movie theater in the mainland, he was immediately opposed by the high-level Moying people.

And it is firmly opposed!

It looks like Chen Xiaotang went to the widow's house in the middle of the night, the risk is high, and it's unreasonable!

"A Tang, did you make a mistake and invest so much money in building movie theaters in mainland China?" These were the words of Fatty Wang Jing.

"Tang Zai, you have to think about it carefully. People in the mainland can't even eat enough to eat, so how can they have spare money to watch movies?" These are the words of the old man Huang Zhan.

"Boss, although I don't know much about the situation in the mainland, I heard it's very poor!" This is what the female secretary Ye Zimei interrupted. "Also, I heard that people over there can't even afford a toilet, and they just dig a hole and squat down to make it..."

"Talky!" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but glared at Ye Zimei, Da Bomei stuck out her tongue, it wasn't for some reason, after being in contact with this boss for a long time, she felt that he had no airs at all.

Chen Xiaotang can accept everyone's incomprehension of the current situation in the mainland, but if you don't understand it, you should go and see it instead of just doing what others say. Do you know that the mainland is carrying out reform and opening up?People in the mainland are also eager to pursue entertainment, you know?You say that people can’t fill their stomachs, that’s all in the past tense, now there are corn grits, Hu spicy soup every day, [-] cents a bowl of Hu spicy soup, there is more beef in it than Hong Kong char siu!
As for entertainment, the mainland in the early 80s is definitely a huge market. If it is said that Hong Kong had a golden decade for movies, then the mainland has a golden nine years.Why nine years?Because since the reform and opening up of the mainland in 1980, it has continuously accepted foreign ideas and cultures. The most popular foreign films in major movie theaters are foreign films from the Shanghai Translation Factory, and then Hong Kong martial arts films, such as "The White-haired Witch", "Clouds and Seas". Bow Fate, The Drunk Man, and the co-produced "Dragon Crossing the River", "Mirage", "Great Shanghai 1937", etc. It can be said that as soon as each film is released, countless people will buy tickets and enter the theater , it was extremely hot.It costs one yuan per ticket, and it’s so chic to bring your girlfriend in. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, you can sneak into the movie theater through the women’s toilet, and scare the lesbians who are urinating.

It can be said that the nine years of the early 80s were definitely the most active era in which the mainland accepted foreign cultures the most.Until that incident happened later, the government felt that too much indulgence in the entry of foreign cultures would cause terrible consequences, so it adopted entertainment control, banned many movie theaters, and turned the movie theater into a grocery market, selling sheets and pillows , a stall selling chicken feathers...

People have no place to entertain, and smart people created the legendary "Video Hall" at this time. It is still one dollar a ticket, and you can watch it for a day, and there are four or five plays in succession. Mixed with some tertiary films from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Taiwan, as long as you yell at the boss in the middle of the night: "Boss, change the film!" You can immediately enjoy some exciting scenes that are not suitable for children.
