From retail to global domination

On May 15, 2005, "The Intouchables" was released. This was the second movie invested and released by Zhang Yang.

Of course he wanted to support his own movie, so Zhang Yang invited Li Ying, Ye Xinyi, and Zhang Qian to the theater.

When they heard that the second movie invested by Zhang Yang was released, the three of them were also very curious, could this guy continue to create miracles?

Ever since Zhang Yang entered the business world, he seems to have never lost money in any industry or project he invested in, and the same is true for entertainment parks.

For example, investing in Hollywood.

The first movie "Juno" has been released, and the final box office revenue exceeded US$400 million. This result immediately shocked the entire Hollywood and the world!

This movie cost 7.5 million U.S. dollars, but the box office revenue was 400 million U.S. dollars?

This rate of return is simply terrifying!

It can be said that with this movie, Huifeng Cinemas became an instant hit and became an upstart Hollywood film company.

Several actors who filmed this film at the same time also became famous and received other films one after another.

In short, "Juno" is considered a hit, and you can expect that this movie will definitely win many awards in the future.

So before "The Intouchables" was released, many people were looking forward to what the results would be, whether it would continue to have a high box office, or whether it would be a dismal box office.

The media, in particular, is constantly building momentum, some are negative, some are optimistic, and there are mixed reviews.

But this is a good thing for Zhang Yang.

Whether you are optimistic about it or not, the popularity of "The Intouchables" has exceeded that of other films. Even the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode III" and "King Kong" are not as popular as this small movie with an investment of 5 million US dollars.

.

That's right, $5 million.

In the previous life, this movie was released in 2011, with an investment of US$11 million.

But now that the filming is six years ahead of schedule, the cost is naturally not high.

In the last life, the box office of this movie was US$450 million. I don’t know how much it will be in this life, but in Zhang Yang’s opinion, the box office should not be too low, because this life has not experienced a financial crisis, especially in the beautiful country.

This is good for the box office.

The most important thing is that the popularity of "Untouchable" is much higher than that of its previous life.

So in Zhang Yang's opinion, at least 600 million U.S. dollars will be spent, because this is a good movie.

As long as the movie is good, there will be people willing to pay for it.

Especially beautiful country.

Of course, the main moviegoers are in beautiful countries.

As for the current China, it is really not good enough and cannot be compared with future generations.

In fact, this is also true.

As soon as the box office went on sale, many of Zhang Yang's theaters were sold out. On the first day of pre-sale alone, more than 30 million U.S. dollars were collected. Before the movie was released, another 20 million U.S. dollars were sold. The box office on the first day was unexpectedly

Reaching an astonishing $50 million.

The return rate reached ten times on the first day!

This is simply too scary, and the Hollywood media also exclaimed, "Wolf is coming."

Although Hollywood has frequently produced high-grossing movies in the past, these movies were all produced by established giants. It is difficult for new movie companies to make waves. Even if there is a high-quality movie, the next one will fail.

There is no way, my background is not as good as others, if you fail once, it will take a long time!

Moreover, we need to find new investment talents.

Otherwise, if you don’t have funds, how can you make a movie?

Moreover, the cost of shooting movies is getting higher and higher, and the expenses are also increasing, and the actors' remuneration has skyrocketed, which has also made many movie companies complain.

Not to mention these small companies, even if those movie giants lose money on three movies in a row, their funds will be greatly affected, and they may even be in crisis.

This is why many film companies cried wolf when they heard that Zhang Yang had entered Hollywood.

Because this guy is rich and can afford to pay compensation.

Let alone five movies, even ten movies can be compensated.

They can't do it. If they lose five movies, their finances will probably be negative!

The result is very likely to be selling the company to pay off the debt!

Such a thing will never happen to Zhang Yang, not to mention that this guy has acquired many theater chains in Beautiful Country, it is difficult to lose money!

Even if the movie loses money, the theater chain can get it back.

In short, it is basically impossible to make Zhang Yang lose money!

Nowadays, the huge profits of "Juno" have made movie giants wary.

Colleagues are enemies, and this is true in every industry and field, and entertainment parks are no exception.

But even if they are anxious, they can only watch and cannot stop it!

The popularity of "The Intouchables" is already so high now that they don't want to get involved anymore. The more involved they are, the more popular it will be, even if they keep badmouthing the film.

Unless the quality of this movie is not good, then they can use the media to add fuel to the fire.

Zhang Yang doesn't know what these guys are thinking. If he knew, he would definitely sneer at them.

Sorry to disappoint you.

The last life was not very popular, the final box office of this movie was 450 million, let alone this life.

The box office of this life is not low, Zhang Yang is very confident.

Several people came to the theater. To Zhang Yang's surprise, there were more than 20 people in the theater. This was really beyond his expectation.

What's going on?

When did the attendance rate of domestic theaters become so high?

When "Juno" was released, Zhang Yang remembered very clearly that no one else was watching in the entire theater, but this time there were more than 20 people?

This is really a lot.

How did he know that through the Internet, many young people in China knew that this movie was shot by Zhang Yang, and that it had a considerable impact in the beautiful country, and many people slandered the movie.

Of course, there are also scolding wars caused by the optimistic sides.

This also aroused the hatred among young people in China.

Zhang Yang is a native of China, and they always give in to Zhang Yang, so many young people who are able to afford it plan to support a movie ticket when the movie is released.

This is why there are still more than 20 people in the theater.

You know, Zhang Yang just came to a theater casually. It is conceivable that there should be many people in other theaters.

How did he know that there were not many moviegoers in Shencheng, and some theaters in first-tier cities had even sold out their tickets.

Especially in the south, there are more people watching movies because the economy there is good and the relatives there are rich.

If you have money, you have the spending power. With more than 20 yuan of support, you can still afford it.

"Is the attendance rate good? The box office should be good." Li Ying said with a smile, looking at the more than 20 people around.

"Not only is it good, the box office revenue during pre-sales was more than 30 million US dollars, and before the release, it was another 20 million US dollars. This does not include China's box office." Zhang Yang crossed his legs and said with a showy face.

"Really?" Li Ying looked at Zhang Yang with a shocked face, somewhat in disbelief.

She has been in the beautiful country for more than ten years, so she certainly knows what it means to have a box office revenue of over 50 million.

Maybe this movie will make over one billion US dollars at the box office.

"Of course, do you think I would lie to you?" Zhang Yang asked with raised eyebrows.

Li Yingxiao shook his head meaningfully.

Zhang Yang will not lie to her, and there is no need to lie to her.

So everything the other person said is true!

"How much is the investment for this movie?" Ye Xinyi on the side was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that the box office on the first day exceeded US$50 million. Isn't this too profitable?

50 million US dollars is 400 million yuan, which is more profitable than selling a house!

Ye Xinyi really doesn't know much about things in the entertainment industry. She probably knows that the movie will be released for a month, and it will cost 50 million a day. Isn't it 1.5 billion US dollars a month?

In fact, his calculation is not wrong, but no movie can be so abnormal and always maintain a stable box office.

Most of them had a strong box office performance in the previous week and then plummeted, even for the best movies.

"5 million." Zhang Yang said with an open palm.

"I'll go..."

When he heard about the investment of 5 million, Li Ying cursed out loud.

Then she quickly covered her mouth.

Apart from Zhang Yang, only Li Ying knew what this meant, so she was hit the hardest.

Ye Xinyi and Zhang Qian were also surprised, but they were just surprised.

"Awesome!" Li Ying said, giving a thumbs up.

Thousands of words, finally summarized in two words.

ox!

So awesome!!

Anyway, she didn't know what to say.

Is this guy the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?

Li Ying even doubted whether this guy would pick up hundreds of millions while walking. It was really possible!

This is an indissoluble bond with money!

So jealous!

At the same time, I also think it’s quite interesting to watch this guy make money.

She also wanted to see where this guy would go in the end.

Li Ying was looking forward to it, and at the same time she was also a little excited, because she could also invest in the filming of a new movie. This was making money without having to bend down.

She had to bend her waist to pick up money, but now she doesn't even have to bend her waist.

This feeling is so good that you don't want it.

At the same time, I am very happy that Zhang Yang is back.

Just when everyone had their own thoughts, the movie was released. It was a comedy.

The movie begins with a midnight car ride. Driss was driving Philip and was stopped by the police for speeding. However, they pretended to rush to the hospital because Philip had an emergency and escaped punishment from the police.

The police believed it and not only did they not issue a ticket, they also opened a way for them and escorted their car to the entrance of the hospital.

A young black man and a paralyzed white man work together in perfect harmony, which shows that they have a deep friendship.

And Dehis is a street gangster who has no knowledge and accomplished nothing. Although he was invited for an interview, he did not expect to do this job. He just hoped to get a signature to prove that he was rejected. If he was rejected more than three times, he would be able to get the job.

Get unemployment benefits.

Philip saw something different in Driss.

As a child of a noble family, he received a good education and followed principles in his work.

These qualities made Philip interested in him, so he persuaded Desis to stay regardless of the strong opposition of those around him. Two people in different worlds, seemingly inaccessible, came together because of their different needs.

.

Philip thinks that Driss is a rude, capricious, arrogant and vain person, but the only advantage he has is that he is very humane.

Driss never cared about Philip's disability and showed no pity, sympathy or discrimination towards him. He often even forgot that Philip could not move.

For Philip, what he wanted most was the respect of others, not sympathy, so he kept Desis by his side and didn't care about Desis's past at all (he had been imprisoned for robbing a jewelry store).

The arrival of Desis rekindled Philip's passion for life. He would take Philip for a ride in a sports car; install a new 12km/h engine on Philip's scooter; and encourage him to pursue communications for 6 months.

pen pal.

Unlike the male nurses Philip had met before, Driss never regarded him as a boss who needed special care, but as a companion who worked hand in hand through a difficult life.

And Philip also slowly changed Desis, letting him learn to control his emotions, abide by the rules, and face life positively. He also let him feel the influence of art and develop the skills of painting.

From then on, Driss was no longer a street gangster who had accomplished nothing but relied on relief funds to survive, but was instead a motivated and promising young man who was willing to work hard.

All in all, this is a very positive movie, and it's also very funny.

After the movie was released, laughter could be heard from time to time in the theater.

Even Ye Xinyi, Li Ying and others are like this.

Zhang Yang had watched this movie many times in his previous life, so he had no desire to watch it this time.

But she wasn't idle either.

The cinema was dark, and his big hands were not idle, taking advantage of Ye Xinyi.

Ye Xinyi took the trouble to get rid of this guy's big hand, maybe to hide something, she laughed from time to time.

In fact, her pretty face turned red.

This bad guy didn't forget to take advantage of her.

She really wanted to bite this bad guy hard, but with Li Ying and Zhang Qian beside her, how could she dare?

If this is really the case, will the two of them discover something from time to time?

So she could only watch the movie and try her best to endure it.

It would be embarrassing to be discovered.

It wasn't until the end of the movie that Ye Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the movie was over, otherwise she would have been really worried that she couldn't help it!

This guy is simply too bad!

Well, she was lonely watching this movie. She only watched the beginning, then the middle and the end. After watching it, she didn’t watch it!!

After watching the movie, several people came out of the theater. Zhang Yang looked at the three of them and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a barbecue."

"Hello." Zhang Qian on the side praised.

Ye Xinyi and Li Ying also had no objections.

"I'm going to the bathroom first, you guys wait for me." Ye Xinyi finished talking to a few people and walked towards the bathroom.

On the contrary, he was flamboyant and had a smile on his face.

If you want to say where the best barbecue is, it has to be in the Northeast.

At night, most barbecue stalls will be full.

Especially in the summer, sitting outside, playing with skewers, drinking draft beer, and bragging is the favorite of Northeastern people.

The same was true for Zhang Yang in his previous life.

My buddy and I were jerking off to each other and bragging about how cool we were. I got a few pussies today.

Most of them are like that.

You can no longer brag about your awesomeness in this life. Your status determines your words and deeds.

If this spreads out, it will be bad, his reputation will be ruined, and Huifeng Group will be implicated...
