858: One Billion Money Goes Into Las Vegas
There was heavy snow in Boston, which made it convenient for the crew to shoot the snow scene.
"Magic has disappeared from the world for a long time, and people can no longer realize their wishes by making wishes. For those who are innocent, we will tell the story of a little boy and the magical Christmas wish that will change his life forever. The story took place in 1995, a small town outside Boston..."
On Christmas Eve, the children were all enthusiastic. On this special day, the children in Boston gathered together to bully Jewish children. Even if the fight was very lively, there was such a child who was not in high spirits. Hero-hua, every community had such a child who was very difficult to make friends.
The story begins with this snowy kid fight.
The Chinese hero played by Li Donglai, with the English name Hero, is obviously a Chinese immigrant. But in the United States, Chinese are even more so than black people, and this arrangement is reasonable.
The movie was first filmed when he was a child, Hero-hua obtained a talking teddy bear toy while praying. Although she did not have the role of Black for the time being, she was still very enthusiastic about staying in the crew. This is a good opportunity to get along with each other openly, isn’t it?
From November 4th to 6th, North American "Kung Fu Panda 2" won the championship for US$53.5 million, a drop of only 29%. Ten days after its release, the box office in North America successfully exceeded 100 million, accumulating US$163 million, and the global box office even exceeded 400 million, which was completely in a state of momentum beyond the original work.
But this week's decline myth is not a panda, but a dreamworks animated movie "The Cat in Boots" that comes from the runner-up.
This week, Latin Cute Cat has expanded its screenings in small scale, adding 11 theaters. With a super low drop of only 3.1%, it was the second-place runner-up for ten days after the release of the film, and the cumulative box office reached US$75.5 million, and the revenue of a single-player studio is still hovering at a high of US$8,336.
Both movies have seen a slight decline, and Mengmao even hit a non-holiday low of 2,500+ theater films released. However, this phenomenon does not stem from the popularity of "Latin Cute Cat". It is similar to the performance of "Inception" the next week and "Avatar".
First, due to heavy snowfall in the eastern United States last weekend, hindering the travel of a large number of viewers. This weekend, it was finally over the middle of the day, so I quickly returned to the theater to make up for my unfinished homework. The second is the holiday factor. Last week, it was a Halloween Festival with gusts of storm and howling. You can see the strong festival atmosphere in the major American dramas. So I think a large number of viewers are busy pretending to be scary and ignore the funny pandas and little cats. After removing the skeleton monster makeup this week, it will naturally return gradually.
The last time this movie with a very small drop occurred was the PK between Li Donglai and Cameron.
"Inception" carries unparalleled momentum and wins box office records again and again, but the decline in the next week is also greater than that of "Avatar". This time, "Kung Fu Panda 2" is also amazing. The decline is also greater than that of "Cat in Boots", and history is sometimes surprisingly similar.
Although the level of the movies between the two sides has dropped by one level, it is still well documented.
So will Cute Cat eventually stage a box office war with a continuous small decline?
Obviously it is impossible, and the level is still slightly worse after all. So this time, the Phantom won again. Looking at the Phantom’s big-selling works, one feature can be found. It is that it performed very well in the first week, then quickly robbed global banknotes and gained high box office returns. The opponents were also silently analyzing the reasons for this situation, and after the final analysis, it was still in place for publicity. In addition, Li Donglai cultivated a large number of loyal fans.
Because the films Li Donglai participated in basically never disappointed them. As long as they were interested, they would be willing to go to the cinema to watch Li Donglai's movies directly.
This performance of "Kung Fu Panda 2" also confirmed the reputation of the "Seven Hollywood" that the media clamored last week. There was no accident. The Phantom was smoothly overtaken until the second week, and continued to launch a strong sprint towards the record of 300 million in North America, 800 million in the world.
It can be said that in addition to the small number of productions and shallow foundations, Phantom has indeed possessed the ability to kill the sixth place at any time. Phantom will have several major productions released next year, perhaps next year.
What is even more amazing is that every investment has made money so far and has never suffered any losses. Looking at all Hollywood film companies, no one has the ability to do this. Not only invest in filming, but also invest in business and stocks, Li Donglai has never lost his hand. It is also this almost miraculous hand that has allowed Li Donglai to accumulate nearly 4 billion US dollars in wealth in just a few years.
The Phantom is about to go public next year, and this number will be raised up. Because their stocks are generally favored by the industry.
Phantom, this rising star entertainment company, exudes infinite vitality and impact in Hollywood, the world's entertainment capital. It kicks the Hollywood giants who have been stable for a long time, warning them to be careful of their chrysanthemums.
Hollywood is advocating the magical progress of the Phantom, and China, far away from the other end of the earth, is even more lively.
Japan owns Sony/Columbia in the United States, and now China finally has big-name film companies that can be used as a prestigious one. The Phantom belongs to Li Donglai and also represents that Chinese films stand tall in the world.
In terms of scale, the Phantom is far from comparable to Sony/Columbia, but it is obviously more charming than that old company.
When "Inception" was released, the box office of a movie exceeded the total box office of China's annual movies. With the development of China's economy in recent years, the box office of movies has increased year by year. The number of movie screens has increased from a few thousand yuan the previous year to tens of thousands last year, and this year it has exceeded 13,000 yuan. The total box office of Chinese movies has gone from billions to over 10 billion yuan, and then to higher records, and it has developed rapidly.
However, even this year, China's annual box office has reached 13 billion so far, but the box office generated by Phantom has reached 9 billion yuan, which is still more than half of the box office of movies in China.
To count, the box office generated by movies made by 1.3 billion people in China is not as good as the box office generated by Donglai Ge alone...
"How big is the market for movies that has not been developed?"
This phenomenon has caused heated discussions in the entire Asian film circle, and Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia are hotly discussing how much "Donglai Brother" can earn.
The new film company in the Hollywood entertainment industry, Phantom Film Production, is already an unignorable giant, and it is difficult not to pay attention to it.
The box office of a film company created by a film company is equivalent to more than 50% of the total box office of the entire Chinese circle, including the mainland, and Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In the past few months, much news in the entertainment industry has come from this company and a young man in this company - Li Donglai. It is a bit of a belittlement to say that it is a male god. After all, in this era when male gods and goddesses are not worth it - he is a myth and is destined to attract attention.
Just as "Kung Fu Panda 2" continues to grab money around the world, the Hurun Rich List released the latest ranking changes in the Rich Ranking.
The most obvious change is that Li Donglai's ranking has risen again. He squeezed out Guangxian Media's Wang Changtian and his wife, becoming the veritable richest man in the Chinese cultural and entertainment industry, with total assets exceeding 21 billion yuan, ranking 35th.
He has become the fastest-rising rich man in recent years, the only star rich man, and the youngest rich man on the top 100 rich man.
As for "Kung Fu Panda 2", which is not included in the statistics, according to the estimates of the authoritative American institutions, the global box office is likely to exceed 800 million US dollars, and Donglai Ge's ranking will rise again at any time.
"I can't believe that movies are so profitable, but they are really good. Yes, I bought tickets to watch them. When I was a kid, Abao was so cute. I watched them twice with my girlfriend, and we were all very excited. Don't blame us for watching Hollywood movies. You know, Chinese movies look similar after shooting. No one can make a movie of this level except Phantom and Brother Donglai!"
"Yes, I also read the news. I really can't believe what is said above. Hurun Rich List is a scam, right? Can you make so much money by making movies? So many governments in China, and rich people like to make money on the land, making people miserable. Why not make movies!"
"Brother Donglai is a god, please don't look at God from a mortal perspective, okay. Moreover, these reports are too one-sided and highlight the ability to make money in movies. In fact, Brother Donglai really makes a lot of money. Apple stocks are the proof that his private investment in Apple stocks has already made a billion dollars."
"Ah, Apple stocks are so profitable, I'll buy them too..." "Buy yours, do you know when to buy them, and when to sell them? Otherwise, if so many people trade stocks, why do they always jump off buildings?"
"Some time ago, I read the newspapers and said that he was not good, and that his two girlfriends had an affair with many female celebrities... Actually, I really want to say to him, come on and shoot your movies, and let those media that report randomly eat shit!"
These reports do not stop at the entertainment page. Not only ordinary netizens are very keen on discussion, but even other classes were shocked by this "economic information".
"I can't believe, is movies really so profitable? If you shoot a movie abroad, a film company can make hundreds of millions of dollars, which is much easier than if I worked hard to buy land! Then why build a building? The housing market is not easy to do. The government is thinking of us paying high taxes, but also afraid that the people will overreact. It's really a bitch to stand up. I'm going to wait and see if it's true. I'll just make dozens or tens of billions of dollars into the entertainment industry. If others shoot movies, I won't shoot them and buy theaters. A US amc theater is not awesome, so I will buy it. Then I will build the world's largest cinema in Qingdao and call those big stars to me to support the scene." Wang Wanda, a top tycoon who has been engaged in the real estate industry for many years, has a big figure who is worth over tens of billions and can compete for the richest man in China at any time. He was very moved at a banquet, which caused a lot of response and flattery, "Wang Dong Gaoming."
However, this news caused by the change in the Hurun Rich List rankings was immediately covered by another news.
