Chapter 151 "Detective 2" breaks the record again
After the establishment of Transformers Company, Pengcheng Toy Factory immediately received a large order of 100 million Transformers. As long as this contract is completed, Pengcheng Toys The factory will receive nearly one billion US dollars in foreign exchange.
Pengcheng attaches great importance to this matter. You know, the country’s foreign exchange reserves were only US$8.9 billion last year. If Pengcheng can obtain this billion US dollars in foreign exchange, it will not only be able to complete this year's foreign exchange reserve task, but also become the number one person in foreign exchange reserves.
So, Pengcheng used all its connections to help the toy factory purchase production lines and molds, and help the toy factory expand its scale. And a piece of land was approved to build employee dormitories for the toy factory.
Wang Yaowei followed Liu Hongmin's wishes and went to Pengcheng to negotiate. Liu Hongmin wants not only employee dormitories, but also a family community, so he will need a lot of land. He planned to exchange all the one billion US dollars in foreign exchange into RMB, and then set up a construction company specifically to build a community for his family.
In Liu Hongmin’s vision, the family community should build at least 15 buildings, with at least 12 floors, and at least 6 households on each floor. Each household is more than 90 square meters, all of which are fully decorated so that employees can move in with their bags.
Place it in Xiangjiang, and this is a thousand-foot mansion.
The properties in the community are all managed by the toy factory itself, and there must be fitness venues, garden paths, shops, markets, hospitals, schools and other ancillary facilities.
As long as the toy factory community is completed, it will inevitably become a benchmark for the domestic construction industry. To avoid waiting for Mr. Li to enter the mainland, he would bring over the public area and cause harm to the people in the mainland.
When Pengcheng heard about this grand plan, they felt incredible and welcomed it very much. If the toy factory community is built, it means that the toy factory will not be at risk of relocation. After all, no one can afford to lose money with such a large investment.
This matter quickly entered the negotiation stage, and the pre-investment agreement signed will only start after the toy factory receives the final payment next year.
In July, a batch of 2 million Transformers from the toy factory was shipped to the Americas and Europe. These are two important markets that the toy factory has always wanted to win. It has been shelved just because of lack of channels. Now with Hasbro's channels, Transformers can be fully distributed in these two economically developed regions. Once it was put on the shelves, it immediately caused a sales boom.
No one can resist the charm of Transformers, whether adults or children, they all want to own a Transformers. If financial conditions permit, I even hope to own a complete set.
When Transformers began to gradually take the world by storm, Liu Hongmin also completed "Face Changing".
After Sanlian Publishing House proofread the manuscript, it immediately began mass printing and full distribution. Random House has acquired the rights to other languages and plans to distribute it around the world. Although compared with the benefits of Transformers, the benefits brought by "Face" are small. But mosquito legs are also meat, and there are only so many opportunities to make a lot of money. If you rely solely on these opportunities, Random House will go bankrupt long ago. Books are all about adding up and adding up. Random House publishes at least tens of thousands of books every year to achieve its current status.
The script of "Taoist Master Huang He" has been worked out. Xu Xiaoming completed the production of "Bao Qingtian 7" and started filming immediately.
On July 12, "Chinatown Detective 2" will be released. Due to the success of the previous film, the box office revenue on the first day was HK$2.06 million.
The key is that the audience thinks very highly of "Detective 2" and thinks it is as good as its predecessor. Coupled with the peg between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, Hong Kong has gradually got rid of the Hong Kong dollar crisis, the economy has recovered, and the desire of Hong Kong people to watch movies has increased. Major theater chains have increased the number of theaters, further promoting the rise of movie box office. The first Spring Festival movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" had a box office of more than 29 million. If it weren't for "Chinatown Detective", it would have broken the Hong Kong movie box office record.
This is what happened to movies of the same period. Xin Yicheng's "Family Portrait" had a box office of just over 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and was cut in half.
This movie was specially shot by Xin Yicheng for the Green Island market, so Xin Yicheng did not expect it to get much box office in Hong Kong, so there was no period for a change of gears. As a result, after it was released in Xiangjiang, it was unexpectedly loved by the audience. Looking at the box office drive, it could at least get more than 20 million. As a result, as soon as "Detective 2" was released, the final box office stopped at 15.78 million.
Almost all theaters now only show the movie "Detective 2", but there is no objection from the audience. Because "Detective 2" has too many elements, not only reasoning to solve crimes, but also light comedy, love drama, coupled with magical editing techniques, this movie is suitable for all ages.
In the first four days, the box office of "Detective 2" exceeded 10 million.
The whole of Hong Kong is caught up in the craze for "Detective 2", and even the peripheral products produced by Tomorrow Film Company are very popular. The peripheral profit in the past few days has reached more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Tomorrow, the film company and major theater chains will make a lot of money.
At the beginning of the second week, although the box office of "Detective 2" dropped by 45%, it still had 1.57 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, it's Monday and people have to go to work, so a drop like this makes perfect sense. By Tuesday, the box office had reversed its decline and turned upward, earning HK$1.65 million. By the weekend, the number had risen to more than 2 million again, and it once again won more than 13 million box office in a single week.
In the third week, the box office on weekdays was still around 1 million, and it increased to more than 1.8 million on weekends, with a box office of nearly 10 million in a single week. On Saturday, the total box office reached 31 million, breaking the box office record of 30.75 million set by "Chinatown Detective".
However, the box office potential of "Detective 2" has basically been exhausted. Starting from the fourth week, the box office on weekdays was only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. On weekends, the single-day box office was only 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. Just under 3 million in a single week.
When "Detective 2" was removed from the shelves, the total box office reached 34.63 million, raising the Hong Kong box office record by nearly 4 million Hong Kong dollars.
The major film companies were disappointed. Xin Yicheng finally managed to catch up with the box office results, only 1 million Hong Kong dollars were left, and now it has become 5 million Hong Kong dollars. This is because "Detective 2" was not released during the Spring Festival. If it had been released during the Spring Festival, I am afraid the box office results would have been even better.
New City and Zhongyuan Film Company are very lucky, otherwise it would be difficult for "The Queen's Secret Service" and "Shaolin Boys" to exceed the box office of 20 million.
The theater chain and Tomorrow Film Company are very happy to cooperate. "Detective 2" not only brought them high box office, but also brought in more than 10 million in peripheral income. After dividing the accounts, both the film company and the theater chain will receive 20 million yuan tomorrow.
Wang Yaowei took advantage of the boom of breaking box office records and once again collected 100 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue from Waifu. Preparations for "Detective 3" have already begun. As soon as Xu Xiaoming finishes filming "Huang He Dao Zhang", he will immediately take the crew to Thailand.
