Chapter 986 Kung Fu Panda
Hearing the whistle, the girl in red quickly walked over.
Open the car door and come up.
"I'm freezing to death, it's so cold."
As he spoke, he took off the big sunglasses on his face, revealing a beautiful face that could be both angry and happy.
"You know it's cold, why don't you wear more clothes."
Xu Liang said.
“I’m anxious to come down to see you.”
“Gangzi, turn up the heat.”
“Hey.”
"Hehe, I knew my husband was the best to me."
Fan Xiaopang took off his coat, revealing the lavender cashmere sweater underneath. The high-elastic fabric showed off the woman's plump lines. Paired with a black butt-covering skirt and thin pantyhose, it will reveal the ultimate charm of a mature woman.
Noticing the man's eyes, she quickly leaned over.
The soft body fell into the man's arms like a snake.
“Husband, I miss you.”
Looking at the woman's watery eyes, Xu Liang put his arms around her slender waist.
"Then let's go home directly?"
"If you don't go back, you promised to go to the movies with me today."
I knew this was the result.
“Gangzi, let’s go.”
The car started and arrived at the underground garage of Taihua Shopping Center.
The building here is very large, and the three-story garage is enough to accommodate three thousand vehicles at the same time.
Although it seems a bit wasteful now.
But as the number of private cars increases, especially during holidays, the convenience of parking will bring more passengers to Taihua.
Get out of the car with Fan Xiaopang, who had put on his clothes and glasses again.
They didn't go directly to the cinema on the fourth floor. After all, there was still some time before the movie they wanted to watch started.
Exited the three-story underground garage.
Taihua Shopping Center has a total of six floors of commercial space.
One underground floor and five floors above ground.
The basement floor is Kelong Supermarket, Food City, and boutique department stores.
The first floor is for jewelry, luxury goods, and stores of hard technology companies such as Kunlun Technology;
The second floor is for clothing, shoes and hats.
The third floor is a brand restaurant.
The fourth floor is the leisure and entertainment area, including cinemas, video games, children's entertainment, etc.
The fifth floor is a multi-functional area, including gym, children's training, beauty salon, indoor swimming, etc.
The distinction is not absolute, and there are also some alternative stores, such as bookstores, interspersed between each floor.
But this is probably the differentiation model.
Xu Liang walked into Kelong Supermarket with great interest.
The Kelong supermarkets you stay at in Taihua are basically ‘supermarkets’.
Only daily necessities and fresh food retail are retained, and items sold in "hypermarkets" such as clothes, jewelry, shoes and hats have been eliminated.
Especially the fresh food area takes up almost half of the area of Kelong Supermarket.
Walked around, bought some peanuts and melon seeds, and then came to the first floor.
No woman doesn’t like shopping.
Fan Xiaopang is no exception.
But today is different.
After walking around for a while, they pulled Xu Liang to the fourth floor.
Looking at the luxuriously decorated ‘Thaihua Cinema’, the bright eyes suddenly burst into astonishing brilliance.
Quickly dropped Xu Liang and walked in quickly.
Looking at it here, touching it there, the smile on her pretty face never stopped.
I stopped when the movie was about to start.
"Have you seen enough?"
"This is not my first time here, but I have never felt as friendly as now." Fan Xiaopang said happily.
"Stop your mercenary attitude."
Holding his arm, Fan Xiaopang said proudly: "Don't you just like people like this?... My dear , when will Taihua Cinema be handed over to Jiahua Group?”
“Can’t wait?”
Fan Xiaopang nodded quickly.
This is Taihua Cinema, the top theater chain in the country.
Although there are not many in total, there are only 27 in total, but each one has more than 15 cinemas. Top shopping malls like Taihua City even have 30 cinemas. .
And there are also many IMAX theaters that have just begun to be installed in China.
Once Jiahua completes the acquisition of Taihua Cinemas, it will have access to nearly 400 screens.
It has become the third largest theater chain after Shanghai United and China Film Group.
Moreover, as there are more and more Thai-Chinese cities across the country and even in Southeast Asia, the number of Thai-Chinese cinemas is also growing rapidly.
By the end of this year, the number of screens may be 600.
Next year it may exceed 800.
The further you go, the more.
It is foreseeable that Taihua Cinema Chain will become the largest cinema chain in the country in the next three years, and may even become one of the top five cinema chains in the world in the next five years.
In the next ten years, there is a chance to become the number one in the world.
With such a huge theater chain under its control, Jiahua will be on the fast track of development both at home and abroad.
Become a world film and television giant with real industry influence.
So how could she be unhappy!
"Let's celebrate the New Year. Now Taihua is still busy integrating Fuhua Real Estate and Kelong Supermarket. When the New Year is over, they will be almost busy and can talk to you about the delivery of Taihua Cinema Line."
"Is it going to take so long?"
She can't wait to change Taihua Cinema Chain to 'Jiahua Cinema Chain'.
"Be patient. Besides, it's only a few months, not a long time."
"Okay."
"It's almost time, let's go."
Xu Liang got up and walked to the front desk.
Bought two movie tickets for "Kung Fu Panda".
Grava, China’s first online movie ticket purchasing website, was founded in 2008 and has no presence yet.
“We can let Bonima try to develop it.” The movie ticket purchase network is not important now, but it will be an important way for movie promotion and distribution in the future, and half of the country’s movie ticket retail sales basically come from online.
Having such a website can not only enrich Penguin’s revenue, but also increase user stickiness.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Xu Liang shook his head and asked, "How much is the box office of "Kung Fu Panda"?"
Fan Xiaopang's face Showing intense excitement.
"After 23 days of release, the global box office has reached 453 million U.S. dollars. Honey, we have created a miracle!"
Miracles are natural.
The production cost is US$63 million, plus investment from Xuanfa.
The total investment in "Kung Fu Panda" is close to US$100 million.
Moreover, channels such as Jiahua, Universal Pictures, and Vidhiwang are all open.
It can be said that the publicity and distribution resources currently provided by "Kung Fu Panda" are more outstanding than those of "Kung Fu Panda" in history.
“I still remember when Hongmeng Animation was first assigned to Jiahua, someone was still unwilling to...”
“Oh, they admit that they are short-sighted. But who can let them have a good one? Man, where is your good husband?" Fan Xiaopang said coquettishly.
Glanced at her.
This woman is very smart and knows how to use her own strengths and grasp his weaknesses.
"Dear, you don't know.
The most envied person in the country's film and television circles now is Jiahua. "Kung Fu Panda" has set a box office record for Chinese movies. The news at 7pm made an exception and gave us 10 seconds. Zhong, I have never been so prosperous in my life." Fan Xiaopang said proudly.
"Is this great?"
Fan Xiaopang nodded vigorously, "Those old perverts who looked down on me in the past and wanted to do anything to me now all beat around the bush and want to treat me to dinner. Please forgive me.
There are also those trash in Hong Kong who appear to be sanctimonious but secretly are male thieves and female prostitutes.
If you want to play a role, you have to go to bed with them first.
I don’t agree with them, so you want to block me?
These bastards have now learned to keep their heads down and be coy. Hum hum, let's see how I deal with them this time. ”
Looking at the woman who was full of ambition and pointing out the country, Xu Liang smiled.
If she hadn’t followed him earlier, she would most likely have compromised.
While we were talking, it was time for the movie to start.
In order to increase the selling point of "Kung Fu Panda", J. Wah, Universal, and Vivendi deliberately promoted him as the film's chief screenwriter.
For this reason, his portraits of Po, Master Raccoon, Taro, and Master Oogway were specially used to hold small exhibitions in Beijing, Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles, London and other places.
Even when the movie was first released, a one-minute video of him sketching Abao was inserted.
As a graduate of CAFA, no one suspects him of fraud.
As the founder of Hongmeng and Hanhua, a world-class financial investor, entrepreneurial elite, and No. 1 on the Forbes rich list, his influence is indeed world-class.
"Kung Fu Panda" opened with great success.
It grossed US$60 million at the box office during its first weekend in the United States, winning the weekend championship.
Three weeks later, the global box office exceeded US$400 million.
A sensation across the country.
In the past many years, no Chinese film has ever achieved such high box office worldwide.
Under the emotional trend of curiosity.
The box office of "Kung Fu Panda" in China is getting higher and higher. Less than a month after its release, the box office has exceeded 240 million Chinese dollars, far surpassing "The Promise" which topped the box office last year.
Poet Chen awkwardly posted his congratulations on Sina Weibo.
While Xu Liang was thinking about it, the movie was also advancing rapidly.
One and a half hours passed very quickly driven by the wonderful plot of the movie.
After the duel between Po and Taro ended, the movie came to an end.
The lights in the theater lit up, and the ending song "Ideal" came from the original pirated version of Boss Xu's life.
Everyone listened, but did not leave immediately.
Sure enough.
When the behind-the-scenes ended, a short film about Abao appeared.
Although it was only 30 seconds, it instantly raised everyone’s expectations for the second part.
This little trick is of course the work of Boss Xu.
"Let's start the production of "Kung Fu Panda 2" when we get back from the Chinese New Year, and try to release it in time for 2008." Xu Liangdao.
The production of an animated film is very troublesome, and two years is the most basic.
"Yeah."
"How is the production of "Black Cat Sheriff (Zootopia)" going?"
"According to the script outline you left, it's almost halfway done. If everything goes well, it will be released around March 2007."
With the example of "Kung Fu Panda", her expectations for the Jiahua Animation Division have been raised to the highest level.
"Dear, do you have any other ideas? There is a lot of liquidity in Jiahua's account now, which can be used to make another animated movie."
The box office split of "Kung Fu Panda" will bring at least US$250 million in pre-tax income to Jiahua.
Coupled with peripheral products, the income will only be higher.
In comparison, domestic live-action movies, even the box office champions, cannot earn 100 million Chinese dollars.
With an income gap of seven to eight times, smart people certainly know how to choose.
“You are so greedy. For Jiahua Animation now, two film production departments are enough. In two or three years, when the talents have been trained, it will not be too late to expand.”
Seeing that the people were almost gone, Xu Liang stood up.
“Let’s go too.”
But they did not go home directly, but came to Jiahua headquarters.
With the completion of the first phase of the Future Science City, Jiahua’s headquarters has also moved here from the Zhongding Building on the North Third Ring Road.
Owner of an office building with a construction area of about 50,000 square meters.
In the CEO's office on the top floor.
After Fan Xiaopang handed over the tea in his hand, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the second phase of the Future Science City that had been suspended in the distance.
“The environment here is indeed much better than when we were in Zhongding Building.”
“It’s still a little bit worse now. When you look at it from here in the spring, the scenery will be even more beautiful.” Xu Liangdao.
In order to create a first-class global headquarters for Hongmeng.
In the original 680-acre World Style Park, only some of the highly completed park buildings were retained, and the rest were converted into green spaces.
The overall effect is like a smaller version of 'New York Central Park'.
The landscape effect is first-rate.
Of course the surrounding housing prices have also gone up like crazy.
Even at the lowest point in 2005, the floor prices of the surrounding land exceeded 7,000 yuan.
