Chapter 277 million box office record (I)
It's a box office record of 70 million, the title is wrong.
There have been a lot of happy events in recent days.
First, Li Lizhen became pregnant, then she made $1 billion in the Japanese stock market, and now "Star Wars" has sold 100 million copies worldwide.
But that’s not all. As soon as Liu Hongmin got up, he received a call from Zou Shifang.
"It exploded! It exploded!"
Zou Shifang laughed and said, "The box office of Source Code is a blast!"
After the establishment of the cinema alliance, all major cinemas signed cooperation agreements. After everything was settled, Source Code was released yesterday.
"How much is the box office?"
"322 million!"
Zou Shifang said excitedly, "The audiences gave very high ratings and were very enthusiastic about watching the film."
"Is that all?" Liu Hongmin was a little dissatisfied.
Zou Shifang was speechless, "Brother, Hong Kong is so small, 352 million is almost the limit of Hong Kong's single-day box office."
Liu Hongmin shrugged. He was used to making a lot of money these days. Even Star Wars made at least 7000 million US dollars and 352 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which was not even a fraction of the stock and royalties.
“How’s the attendance today?”
"Very good, the attendance at 8 o'clock was over 70%."
Hong Kong has a rich nightlife, so people generally get up late, so the morning work time is generally set at 8 o'clock. At 70 o'clock, most people are sleeping, and the occupancy rate of % is very high.
"If we can keep this popularity, won't the box office exceed 60 million?"
"Of course!" Zou Shifang said, "We have done the calculations, and 60 million is basically stable. And according to the calculation results, it is not impossible to hit 70 million."
"Seventy million? You really dare to think so." Liu Hongmin laughed, "Does the Hong Kong market have such great potential?"
Zou Shifang: "Yes, if all theaters show Source Code, let alone 70 million, even 80 million is possible."
Liu Hongmin was speechless, "How dare you think of this!"
"The bolder the people, the more productive the land!" Zou Shifang said with a smile, "The film market is different from agriculture and industry. As long as we arrange it properly, it is not impossible for other film companies to make some concessions."
"What are you going to do?" Liu Hongmin asked curiously.
Zou Shifang: "Brother Wei has come up with a plan to take out another 20% of the investment in the Source Code series and distribute it to other film companies in a certain proportion. In this way, all the film companies in Hong Kong can make a profit, and it will be a huge profit for at least three to five years. I think no company can refuse such an exchange of interests, right?"
Liu Hongmin nodded. This way, all the big movie companies would agree. And after Source Code broke the record, their investment share would make more profit.
"You are trying to set off a big firecracker!" Zou Shifang said in a deep voice: "There is obviously a problem with the Hong Kong film market now. The homogeneity is too serious. When a theme becomes popular, other companies will immediately rush in, either imitating or copying it. On the other hand, Hollywood has been researching technology, whether it is science fiction films with advantages or other types of films, there have been obvious improvements. If this continues, Hong Kong films will be defeated sooner or later. The Hong Kong film market is so small. If it loses Southeast Asia, Hong Kong films will only die."
"We all agree that planning ahead for the mainland market is the real way out for Hong Kong films. Therefore, before the mainland market grows up, we must maintain the vitality of Hong Kong films. Otherwise, before the mainland market is developed, Hong Kong films will die."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "This is just an idea. Whether it can work or not is still unknown!"
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try!" Zou Shifang said, "This is the responsibility of our No. 1 film company in Hong Kong."
Liu Hongmin laughed, "Great! Old Zou, you have been in Hong Kong for so many years, but you still haven't forgotten your origins!"
Zou Shifang also joked: "Of course, we are old Zou, but we have come through hard times, how can we forget our original intentions!"
Joking aside, Zou Shifang really wasn't bragging. He really didn't forget his original intention over the years, and he has always had a good relationship with his wife, and he hasn't lost contact with his hometown folks. Liu Hongmin didn't do this, and it was always Liu's father who kept in touch with his hometown folks, and his family's relatives had never been to Beijing.
Like Liu Hongmin, Zou Shifang also does charity work. However, he cannot manage the affairs in the mainland from Hong Kong, so he donated the money to Liu Hongmin's charity fund. With Liu Hongmin's supervision, he feels relieved.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Liu Hongmin said, "If you want to do something big, I won't stop you. But there is one thing you should pay attention to. This matter touches the interests of too many people, so you have to be more careful."
Zou Shifang nodded, "I will tell Brother Wei and the others, but don't think too much about it. We have troops to protect us, unlike the locals in Hong Kong."
Since the troops stationed in Hong Kong were stationed in Hong Kong, they have been Liu Hongmin's biggest support. The reason why those societies dared not touch Tomorrow Film Company was because of this reason.
Liu Hongmin knew this, but he was still worried. After all, there were gangs everywhere in Hong Kong, and it was inevitable that some people would take risks.
"It's better to be careful."
"Okay!" Zou Shifang agreed readily, and after hanging up the phone, he wanted to do other things. However, thinking that Liu Hongmin had said it twice, he still felt it necessary to tell Wang Yaowei.
He called Wang Yaowei and said, "Brother Wei, Hongmin told us to be careful when we do things. This matter will affect the interests of many people, so it is inevitable that some people will take risks."
Wang Yaowei thought about it and said, "Then we will raise the security registration to the highest level and donate some money to the police station in the name of the company. We can make this a bigger event and set an example to attract more attention."
Zou Shifang nodded, "I know what to do?"
After hanging up the phone, he called his secretary in, "Does Ren Dahua have any announcements today?"
"I'll check it out."
"Okay! Tell me immediately if you know where he is!"
Ren Dahua's brother works in the police station, and his position is not low. To donate to the police station, you naturally have to find an acquaintance to do it, so that you can build a closer relationship in both public and private, and you can get the effect of double the money with one dollar.
Zou Shifang has been managing finances for so many years and has developed the habit of maximizing profits.
Of course, Ren Dahua has no problem with this. First, he can help his elder brother gain support from the society, and second, he can build a closer relationship with the company's CEO. This is something that benefits all three parties, so why not do it?
A few days later, most media in Hong Kong competed to report that the Tomorrow Film Company donated one million Hong Kong dollars to the police station, setting an example for Hong Kong citizens.
