Resource Tycoon Reborn

On January 18, "Pearl! Harbor.

Entering the Japanese film market, it set a box office record of more than 3.379 billion yen that week, including a weekend box office record of more than 1.683 billion yen over the two weekends, breaking the record in one fell swoop

"Spirited Away", produced and distributed by Studio Ghibli and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, set the 2001 weekend box office record for a local Japanese film, becoming the biggest box office hit in the Japanese film market since 2001.

It ranked third at the box office last weekend, and in the Japanese film market so far, among the top five movies at the weekend box office, there is only one local film, "Spirited Away."

The remaining four films are completely occupied by works shot by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and its partners. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" deserves to be the first, followed closely by "The Lord of the Rings", which originally ranked third.

"Ice Age" was pushed to fourth place by "Pearl Harbor" with a negligible box office gap of 3 million yen. These three movies were also the top three in the Japanese film market in 2001 in terms of total box office.

"Spirited Away" ranked fourth with a score of 30.3 billion yen. However, judging from the current movie viewing momentum, many people doubt whether it can ultimately maintain its fourth place in the face of the aggressive "Pearl Harbor"

's throne.

This box office record has surprised many people, especially many Japanese. In their opinion, such a movie that puts Japanese people in the villain role should not be welcomed by the people in Japan.

.Although neither the government nor the media can make public statements of boycott, since the filming of "Pearl Harbor" officially started, many people in Japan have privately called on the Japanese to boycott "Pearl Harbor" through various obscure methods. But very

Obviously, all their efforts were in vain. The popularity of "Pearl Harbor" in Japan also triggered a fierce debate in Japanese society and the media about Japan's role in World War II.

.

September 21st·"Pearl Harbor" officially landed in the Korean film market. It immediately set off a movie-watching craze in South Korea. In the three days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, nearly 2.4 million people visited South Korea.

Entering the cinema, on Saturday and Sunday, it set a box office record of more than 870,000 and 980,000 in Korean movies! Moreover, "Pearl Harbor" also caused a stir in Korean society.

It severely criticized Japan's numerous crimes of invading the Korean Peninsula and enslaving the Korean nation, and especially expressed concern about the increasingly right-leaning status quo of Japanese society in recent years. Among them, the ownership of Dokdo, compensation and apology to comfort women, and Japan's revision of educational history to beautify

Several topics such as the history of aggression are important topics of discussion among Koreans.

As for China, it was released in mid-August and achieved quite good box office results. Although it is still in theaters, the total box office has ranked fourth this year. In the following week, "Pearl Harbor"

It was successively released in other countries in East and Southeast Asia and achieved great success.

Many professional film media have already exclaimed - if there are no good films at Christmas time, in 2001, they have completely reduced to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and its small partners.

Our world! Four movies that were screened around the world, all with amazing box office, and they just took the top four in the world movie box office rankings. How can other people mess around?

And "Fang", who is "named" as a screenwriter in every movie, is undoubtedly the absolute candidate for next year's Oscar screenwriting award. Although the Oscars have all kinds of particularities, sometimes they have to show that they are not entirely focused on the business of movies.

Achievements, but with such unbelievable results, it is really unjustifiable if we cannot even win the screenwriting award.

Although this person has never participated in the Oscars in any year, the statuettes are always received by his partners.

At the end of September, the screenings of "Final Fantasy: Souls Within" in Japan, North America and Europe are coming to an end. Although there are still screenings scheduled in several countries, basically, the box office results are already determined! 150 million

A huge investment of 100,000 US dollars, but in the end only got back a mere 35.25 million global box office, not even a fraction of the investment was returned! In this way, apart from the fees paid to the cinema line and the distributor,

The profit that Square Co., Ltd. was able to obtain was less than 20 million U.S. dollars! In other words, it lost almost 130 million U.S. dollars!

After the news came out, Square Enix's stock price plummeted again, down 13.7%. Compared with the peak of its stock price, Square Enix's share price has dropped by nearly 10%.

One in two! Although "Final Fantasy X", which was launched after "Final Fantasy: Souls Within", still achieved surprisingly good results in the global game market, "Final Fantasy: Souls Within"

The broken halberd still makes Shi Keer angry.

Shiki Co., Ltd.’s 2001 financial year is destined to end with huge losses

At this time, people look at the global box office results of "Ice Age", then look at the global box office of "Final Fantasy: Souls Within", and recall the scene before "Final Fantasy: Souls Within" was released.

It's like a lifetime ago.

A huge loss of more than 100 million U.S. dollars. Even though Square Co., Ltd. is the leading company in Japan's video game production industry, it is a serious setback that is enough to break bones. The board of directors of Square Co., Ltd. has to consider the request of new shareholders to join. At present,

, there are many companies that have proposed to buy shares of Square Enix Co., Ltd., among which Nintendo Co., Ltd., Sony Corporation, Enix Co., Ltd. and Gantatian Co., Ltd. are hugely famous in the industry - everyone is still relatively optimistic about Square Enix Co., Ltd.

future.

The boards of directors of Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Square Enix Co., Ltd. will never consider it. Yamauchi Tomari proposed this proposal, which is more of a humiliation to Square Enix Co., Ltd. The hatred between the two determines their peace.

It is not an easy task, let alone making Nintendo Co., Ltd. the second largest shareholder of Square Enix.

But among the remaining Sony Corporation, Enix Corporation and Gamestatian Corporation, which one to choose makes the directors of Square Co., Ltd. worried. The three companies can be said to be important forces in the industry.

No one can underestimate it.

Fang Mingyuan, who happened to be handling the business of the Saga0 Co., Ltd. Group in Japan, met with Keijiro Hei who came to visit. After the two were alone in Fang Mingyuan's office for half an hour, the happy Heike Jiro left the headquarters of the Saga0 Co., Ltd.

Building. In the afternoon of the same day, Sony announced that it would withdraw from the competition for the equity of Square Enix, and announced that the game "Onimusha" tailor-made for PS2 by Ganrstatan will be officially released before Christmas 2001. This

As soon as the news came out, PS2 sales for that week increased by a full 7% compared to the previous week!

Sony's withdrawal immediately reduced the dispute on Square's board of directors by five or six points, and in the end, Gamestatian, which promised not to purge Hironobu Sakaguchi and others, won. On September 30, Ganrestian will invest in a company

For US$30 million, he acquired 26.4% of the equity of Square Co., Ltd., becoming the second largest shareholder in Square Co., Ltd. after founder Masashi Miyamoto! The difference between the two

The difference was less than 10%! The next day, Square Co., Ltd.’s stock rebounded sharply on the Japanese stock market. And a week later, the stock price had basically regained its lost ground and returned to the

The initial high position.

This shows that investors are still very optimistic about Gqnrestatian's investment in Square Enix.

People in the Japanese video game industry generally believe that after acquiring more than a quarter of Square Enix's shares, Gantatiwn's position in the Japanese game production industry has been completely consolidated, and it has become a well-deserved top player in the industry.

The company has formed a complete industrial chain.

At the same time, Sega Co., Ltd.'s stock price has also increased. It is generally believed that because through Ganrestatiwn Company, Sega Co., Ltd. indirectly holds shares in Square Enix Co., Ltd., and this will make Square Enix Co., Ltd. even more profitable in the future.

Sega Corporation attaches great importance to the game needs of Sega Corporation. Enix Corporation also benefited for the same reason.

When the dust settled on the whole thing, people looked back and discovered that only Nintendo Co., Ltd. seemed to have not received any obvious benefits from this process.

On October 18, in Hong Kong, Kowloon Airlines, led by four companies: Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, Kwok Shipping Group Co., Ltd., Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Goldsmiths and Cheung Kong Holdings, and invested by seven or eight Hong Kong companies, was officially listed.

As the third air transport company in Hong Kong, Kowloon Airlines was founded with capital injection from the four major Hong Kong families, which immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong.

On the same day, an Airbus spokesperson publicly announced that Airbus had received an order for eight A380s from Kowloon Airlines. This is the first A380 order Airbus has received from China Airlines so far.

.This transaction, which may be worth nearly 3 billion US dollars, immediately attracted the attention of many media and Chinese people!
