China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After a while, the premiere of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" came to an end.

Lu Pingan declined the dinner and went directly to the airport to continue his road show abroad.

This run lasted another half a month.

On September 24, Lu Pingan finally ended the promotional activities for "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Iron Man 1".

Since "Kung Fu Panda 2" will be released globally in June, it has basically entered the final stage globally at this time.

The current global box office is 785 million US dollars, which is tens of millions better than the first film.

The performance exceeded that of the first film, and naturally exceeded the outside world's lowest expectations for the film.

Because of this, there is no objection to the fact that the "Kung Fu Panda" series has become a globally renowned blockbuster IP.

Of course, some outside organizations are still not satisfied with the results of "Kung Fu Panda 2".

They were different from others. They were very optimistic about the series, so they thought from the beginning that the film could earn more than 850 million or even 900 million US dollars.

But now, 800 million is estimated to be unlikely.

Therefore, in their view, the overall valuation of the IP "Kung Fu Panda" will also drop a lot.

In such a voice, because a well-known institution is involved.

As a result, Xingchen's stock did not continue to skyrocket as the majority of netizens expected.

But Lu Ping'an himself is quite satisfied.

Although he also knew that these institutions were so optimistic about him and raised their expectations so high in the first place, perhaps for other purposes.

But now, the result of more than 700 million is indeed more than 100 million US dollars better than the original time and space.

It can be said that this should be the greatest potential of "Kung Fu Panda 2".

In other words, Lu Ping'an has actually reached his maximum.

If this is not satisfactory, then you are overestimating yourself.

Overall, the results of "Kung Fu Panda 2" are gratifying.

"Iron Man 1" is similar.

Currently, "Iron Man 1" is in the late stages of release globally.

At this time, the global box office is only more than 20 million less than "Kung Fu Panda 2", reaching 763 million.

In the future, it will not be released in more than a dozen small countries around the world, and it will be released in North America in less than a month.

Therefore, the global box office of the film exceeds 800 million, which is basically a certainty.

It may even exceed 900 million in the future.

The result of 800 million is much better than the original time and space of 560 million.

Of course, Lu Ping An also knows that this is actually thanks to Disney's global promotion channels.

But since both families share a common interest, let’s not say thank you.

It's all for the future.

The movie is about to exceed 800 million, and the gambling agreement between Lu Pingan and Marvel is about to take effect. Lu Pingan expressed his expectation.

"Iron Man 1" is about to break 800 million, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" is over 700 million.

The performance of the two movies has caused the stock prices of Xingchen and Dingfeng to continue to rise in the past two months.

The current stock price of Xingchen is around 230 yuan, and its total market value is close to 80 billion.

The peak stock price has also reached around US$30, and the total market value exceeds US$16 billion.

As a result, Lu Ping An's net worth directly reached 70 billion yuan.

But these are current market values.

Xiang Guoqiang said that the stock price will definitely fall in the future.

Because there are ways to do this.

The company's profits are good, and a group of hot money and institutions that speculate in stocks will take advantage of the situation to drive up the stock price and attract retail investors to enter the market.

Then the stock price is much higher than the actual price.

When the company's dividends from this wave of earnings are exhausted, the stock price will fall back to its normal value.

At this time, retail investors who entered the market late were trapped, and institutions made profits and left the market. They might be able to backhand and do a wave of short selling and then reap the profits.

Both in the United States and China, shorting can actually be done, but in China it is a little more complicated, and only institutional large-capital accounts can operate.

It is always the retail investors who suffer.

Leeks, you don’t want to shout “I can’t control my fate”.

Lu Ping'an didn't care too much. He had learned some relevant knowledge over the years.

In professional terms, retail investors are speculators, and speculators are risk takers.

To put it bluntly, they are harvested.

So of course he won't pay too much attention.

After the road show, Lu Ping'an spent two days hanging out with Yu Feihong in Laomei to complete his "annual mission" before returning to China.

I didn't take a break even after I returned to China, and plunged headlong into the promotion work of "The Wind".

There will be a grand military parade on National Day this year. As the National Day gets closer and closer, various controls in the capital are increasing.

This year's National Day originally wanted him to direct some large-scale events.

But Lu Ping An still declined as he had in previous years.

The superiors couldn't do anything about him. After all, the results here were not ordinary results.

So Lao Mouzi had just finished filming "Three Guns" when he was arrested again.

Lu Ping'an didn't pay much attention and focused on his own movie.

At this time, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was the dominant player in the market.

With the advantage of background and the support of theaters across the country.

At present, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has only been released for half a month, and the box office has already exceeded 500 million.

This result is much better than the original time and space.

Han Sanpin is also quite satisfied with this, after all, the cost of the film is almost zero.

Of course there must be regrets.

If this trend continues, it will definitely be impossible for a movie to break 1 billion.

For Han Sanpin personally, it is indeed a bit regretful.

Fortunately, Han Sanpin also knew the quality and nature of the movie.

It's said to be a gift, but how subtle it actually is. Does anyone in the know know?

So if the box office is really too high, it may not be a good thing for him.

It's very good now. If this momentum continues, by the time "The Wind" is released in ten days' time, the box office will probably exceed 600 million.

Then "The Wind" was released, and the box office growth of "The Founding of a Republic" plummeted.

The market heat has completely changed.

At that time, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" had just the right score of 6 to 7 billion, which was the most perfect.

Sometimes Han Sanpin even thinks that the schedule of "The Wind" should have been moved forward earlier.

After all, this result is already a little bit eye-catching.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no point in talking about that.

The time will soon come to October 4th.

On this day, "The Wind" that fans have been waiting for for a long time is finally released.

For Lu Ping An, "Iron Man 1" finally exceeded US$800 million today.

The gambling agreement was completely reached.

According to the agreement, Lu Ping An has become the third largest shareholder of Marvel.

At the same time, because Disney had already acquired Marvel earlier, and the gambling agreement came first, a supplementary agreement was later signed.

Disney will acquire the newly acquired 20% shares of Lu Ping An based on 85% of the ratio when acquiring Marvel and Marvel's valuation after the release of "Iron Man 1".

After careful calculation, after the release of this wave of "Iron Man 1", Marvel's valuation will be much higher than at the beginning because of the topic of "Marvel Movie Resurrection".

Therefore, after completing the agreement, Lu Ping An will retain the Marvel board of directors and will also receive hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, half of which was reserved and frozen when Disney acquired Marvel, and the other half is paid by Disney.

To be honest, it is really kind of Disney to do this, because they could have ignored the gambling agreement, and they could not have used the real-time valuation of Marvel after the release of "Iron Man 1" to acquire Lu Ping An's gambling. shares.

The current attitude of doing things simply does not conform to the public's stereotype of Hollywood companies. This has once again refreshed Lu Ping'an's understanding of Disney.

However, Lu Pingan also knows that the reason why he can be treated like this by Disney is because of his own strength.

So again, it’s all about making more money in the future, so don’t say thank you.
