Director’s Legend

Chapter 300: [Lead a trend]

In two and a half weeks, the Asian box office was 400 million yuan, which is not the end of "IMAX-3D Jade Group".

The Australian release of 1.1 million Australian dollars a week set a record for the box office of a Chinese-language film in Australia. There has never been a Chinese-language film exceeding one million Australian dollars in the box office before. It was released in Italy for a week, with 170,000 visits and 700,000 euros at the box office, which undoubtedly set the best record for Chinese-language films in Italy.

It was released in Russia for a week and a half, with 800,000 movie viewers and 120 million rubles, which is undoubtedly the number one Chinese-language film in the Russian box office. It was released in New Zealand for a week, with a weekend box office of 156,000 New Zealand dollars and a cumulative box office of 180,000. It ranked third this week, setting the best record for a Chinese-language film in New Zealand.

France, Peru, Germany, Thailand, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Turkey, and all regions where "IMAX-3D Jade Group" was released have created a lot of momentum.

Swept from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere, under the impact of IMAX-3D, the film once again won the box office of 80 million yuan in Asia, and 160 million yuan outside of Asia. The global box office totaled 640 million yuan, which is about to break the 100 million dollar mark.

A romantic film, 100 million US dollars, before it is released, no one can believe it!

Even Shao Shuaijun had to open his mouth in disbelief. The film investment is not small, but it is only the top ranking in China, more than one billion yuan, placed in Hollywood, and placed all over the world. This is a crude IMAX-3D movie.

He knew that in the future, a mediocre "Avatar" relied on perfect viewing effects to achieve the miracle of the global box office champion. But it was a super production that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It took several years to use the world’s most advanced IMAX-3D technology and facial expression capture technology. It was shot and produced in a virtual studio. The picture is smooth, natural, clear and bright enough, and the effect is several times that of "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan".

Although they are all called IMAX-3D, they seem to be in the sky and underground. If it is released after "Avatar", it will definitely be smashed by spikes, but the problem is that the schedule of "Avatar" is set for this year's Christmas file. Without "Avatar" for comparison, "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" is currently the top version of the movie viewing effect.

So, in everything, we must grab the first place!

After being released in various parts of the world, in mid-May, the summer season in North America kicked off. The previous "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine", which was released on May 1, continued to ravage the box office. "Star Trek 11", which was released on May 8th, also performed well. A series of 11 sequels can be shot, which in itself is a guarantee of the box office.

On May 15, the sister chapter of "The Da Vinci Code" "Angels and Demons" was released, which is also the time for "IMAX-3D Jade Group" to land in the United States. Because of the reimbursement contract signed with IMAX, "IMAX-3D Jade Group" will not only be shown in the general theaters in North America, but also in most IMAX theaters in North America.

"Booming Heart" basically bid farewell to mainstream theaters and handed the baton to Fengyue Film.

After three days, the box office was released.

"Angels and Demons" $46 million is not that strong, but it still tops Zhou's box office champion. "Star Trek 11" continued to be popular in the second week, with $43 million in second place, and a two-week sequel of $140 million was guaranteed. And the two-week box office almost caught up with the three-week results of "Wolverine".

This makes Shao Shuaijun a little happy. Once the "X-Men" series no longer sells well, 20th Century Fox's enthusiasm for superhero movies will definitely decline. The superheroes under the Marvel comics, 20th Century Fox took the most, so it is relatively easy to recover.

And ranked third is "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan", 21 million US dollars, not so popular. But this is also the best weekend result of this year's Chinese-language film in North America. Of this amount, US$8.2 million was provided by IMAX Cinema. This also allowed the global box office of this romantic film to exceed RMB 830 million.

According to the latest exchange rate of USD 6.825, "IMAX-3D Jade Group" has reached a global box office of 120 million U.S. dollars, surpassing "Fantastic" and becoming the most popular movie under the Dream Entertainment Group. Bai Jifei, the former director of Xia Sanlu, proudly entered the 100 million dollar box office directors club.

From May 22nd to 24th, the North American box office of "IMAX-3D Yupu Mission" plunged by more than 60, and the weekend box office was less than 9 million. Among them, 7.5 million are provided by IMAX theaters and 3D theaters. The general audience is not interested in this movie. Few people choose to watch the movie after the first week. All the seats in ordinary theaters are empty, but the effect of IMAX-3D But very popular.

Therefore, in ordinary theaters, the film is drawn after two weeks. IMAX theaters will continue to show for months, even years, after all, there are not many IMAX-3D movies in the world.

In this way, in the global journey, "IMAX-3D Jade Group" received a total of 135 million US dollars, which not only allowed Summit Entertainment to complete the accumulation of IMAX-3D technology, but also made a perfect profit. Bai Jifei, proud of the spring breeze, immediately proposed a second film plan to Dreaming Jiahe.

He wants to start shooting "IMAX-3D***"!

However, Shao Shuaijun dispelled this idea. Dreaming Entertainment will no longer invest large costs in Fengyue Films. This movie can sell well because "Avatar" was not born, and it is not realistic to follow the trend to shoot high-tech Fengyue films. . However, although the IMAX-3D version was not passed, the "3D***" plan was reached.

Also planned during the same period are "3D All the Way to the West" and "3D Yupu Tuan 2", these two romantic films, one is a modern urban theme and the other is a sequel. However, while relying on Fengyue film to make a lot of money, Chasing Dream Jiahe also inevitably suffers from many criticisms in the society.

For this reason, Shao Shuaijun compromised.

Under the subordinate of Chasing Dream Jiahe, a leather bag company, a 3D technology film innovation and fashion entertainment production company was established. This company will independently complete the production of all Fengyue films. Dreaming Golden Harvest is only an investment. In fact, it is just a change of thinking and wearing a fig leaf, essentially unchanged.

If it is said that the filming of "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" before, it was Shao Shuaijun's little taste, plus it was to reserve IMAX-3D technology. It’s not Shao Shuaijun’s will to shoot now. The directors of the company are crazy about it, and Shao Shuaijun is not good to object.

In the past April and May, "Popular Heart" and "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" each delivered perfect answers.

In June, another film "Dancing Out of My Life 3" under Summit Entertainment was released. At the same time, the delayed release of the 2009 Forbes Global Billionaires List was announced. Due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, Forbes postponed the release of the list, postponing the original release in March to June.

"Forbes" actually lists the world's richest people with assets of more than one billion US dollars every year. The subprime mortgage crisis this year has caused many rich people to shrink their assets. The number of people on the list has shrunk from 1,125 last year to 794 this year. Bill Gates once again became the world's richest man with 40 billion US dollars.

The stock **** Warren Buffett ranked second with $37 billion, and Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Elu ranked third with $35 billion.

And Shao Shuaijun landed on Forbes for the first time, ranking 40th with US$9.8 billion, equivalent to RMB 66.8 billion. This data ranks the third richest person in China after Li Chaoren in Hong Kong with $16.2 billion and the Guo family in Hong Kong with $10.5 billion. However, Forbes also noted in the list that Shao Shuaijun’s assets are only valuations, because Shao Shuaijun’s holdings in Summit Entertainment and Dreaming Golden Harvest have undergone a series of complex conversions, and it is difficult to define how many shares they occupy.

In order to balance the data, Shao Shuaijun, on the suggestion of his old sister, made his own shares cross and weakened by registering more than N offshore shell companies, making them less conspicuous in the entire Dream Entertainment Group. No matter how he makes money in the future, his total assets will stabilize at the figure of 10 billion.

Neither conspicuous, nor excessively modest, won the golden mean. In fact, his shares have not been weakened too much, and his total assets are estimated to have reached 15 billion US dollars.

In the words of the media, it was originally expected that Shao Shuaijun would become the richest man in China, but he did not expect it to be so much worse. If it were not for the real estate industry to suffer an economic crisis, Shao Shuaijun's title of the richest man in the Mainland would not be able to keep. However, they can't hide the data, but they can't hide the eyes of professionals. Many financial institutions don't believe that Shao Shuaijun's wealth is so small, but they can't produce evidence that Shao Shuaijun is rich.

In the words of financial professionals, Dreaming Entertainment Group is a company with relatively concentrated equity among all large listed companies. Regardless of whether it is the holding of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest or Summit Entertainment, they have not undergone too much trading and circulation. The market value of these two listed companies is almost reaching 100 billion yuan. They are the best performing companies in the economic crisis. What about Shao Shuaijun’s assets? Suddenly evaporated?

There is something tricky among them, and financial professionals sighed.

However, the data is here, and I suspect that it won't work. Shao Shuaijun is only 9.8 billion US dollars.

The tycoon controversy has just passed, and the North American summer box office in June has entered a white-hot stage. The box office of "Dancing My Life 3" is the same as the previous two. North America won more than 40 million US dollars and overseas more than 100 million US dollars. But there are quite a few, and the plan for the sequel is naturally put forward with persistent efforts, and will come again next summer.

Then, the most heavyweight movie of this year, "Twilight Saga: Lunar Eclipse" began to be released. Compared with the first few movies this year, which can only cost more than one billion yuan, the stated goal of "Lunar Eclipse" is to have a global box office of no less than 600 million US dollars!

On June 25, 2009, Shao Shuaijun was cleaning the weeds in the courtyard with Li Xiuxiu in his villa in Santa Monica. A news came, and the world was cast a shade of gray.

The king of pop music, American singer, dancer, performer, philanthropist, musician, humanitarian, and pacifist Michael Jackson died suddenly at the age of 50 due to a sedative overdose by a private doctor.

At this moment, Jackson is the only focus of global media!

"MJ's departure is a loss to the world, and we mourn deeply." Shao Shuaijun said regretfully on his scarf. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
