Chapter 523 An unexpected encounter

"Terminator 2" has been soaring at the box office in Hong Kong theaters, and more and more theaters have joined in the screenings. Hong Kong people who already like to watch movies have also praised it, although there are some nitpicks.

Yes, but it was completely drowned in the good sound.

There is a movie theater on a busy street in Central, Hong Kong. A long queue has formed in front of the door, extending for more than a hundred meters on the street and turning into an alley at the end.

"In just a few days, it is said that the total box office has exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and looking at the growth momentum, when it comes to the next level, I am afraid that even 50 million Hong Kong dollars will not be able to stop it." Together with Tong Tong.

The young man looked at the long queue in front of the cinema and sighed softly.

"Hmph, that Yu Qiuxia is really capable. In such a short period of time, Kumho Film Company has actually entered the ranks of the first-class film companies in Hong Kong!" Tong Tong frowned and said, "Luo Ning, you

Tell me, if "Terminator 2" enters mainland theaters, how much box office revenue can it make?"

The young man known as Luo Ning spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Sister Tong, you are so embarrassing! When did our country's movie box office have an accurate number? And how many screening points are there in various places?

Who can figure out the price?"

"What about the National Bureau of Statistics? Aren't there a group of people in the Film Bureau who are responsible for this? How can they carry out their work if they don't even know the box office of domestic movies in a year?" Tong Tong asked in confusion. Although her father was

The deputy director of the Film Administration Bureau has the power of life and death, but she doesn't know much about this area.

"National Bureau of Statistics? Those guys might as well call it the National Water Injection Bureau. Their data is like that water-injected pork. It looks good, but in fact it is not very reliable! If you really believe in their statistics, arrange your work according to that

, It will only make the work a mess!" Luo Ning curled his lips and said, "As for those people in the film bureau, they are just idle people who just take money and do nothing. If the film work of such a large country depends on them,

, It’s over already!”

"So what is the film market in our country like now? Luo Ning, tell me." Tong Tong said.

Luo Ning mouthed: "How should I say..."

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of the Chinese film market was quite good, and a number of good films emerged. However, as the ten years of the Cultural Revolution entered, the development of the film industry suffered serious setbacks. Originally, in China, there was no free play in films.

The film industry has a unified budget and allocation by the state, which strictly limits the theme, content, quantity, and specifications of the film, and then leaves it to the studio to complete the shooting tasks. Finally, China Film Company, the general agent of national distribution and screening, is responsible for acquiring the film.

, and then distributed them step by step to various units in various provinces, cities, and counties for distribution and screening. The strict control can be imagined. During the Cultural Revolution, it reached its peak. The model opera film with particularly serious dogmatism was that

A specific product of the period. Because the model opera reflects the lives of modern workers, peasants, and soldiers in the form of traditional drama, it is called "proletarian new literature and art."

"I know, there are eight plays for eight hundred million people!" Tong Tong curled her lips and said, "They are all for educating people. It's okay to watch them occasionally. Watching them too much will make you sick to death!"

"Yes, it seems so unimaginable now. At that time, old excellent films could not be screened, and it was not difficult to get permission to film new scripts. In those few years, China only shot less than a hundred films.

But at that time, there were hundreds of movies in Hong Kong a year." Luo Ning shook his head and said, "After the reform and opening up, everyone's life has gotten better. With the gradual popularization of the video industry, karaoke bars, and television, the cultural life of the masses has also become more and more popular.

The more colorful it is, and there are no good movies, the fewer people will go to the cinema to watch movies. Although I don’t know the specific number, our country’s movie market has been getting worse year by year in recent years! Otherwise, those who rent video tapes

How can it be that all the places in this place are Hong Kong movies and European and American movies!”

Tong Tong also sighed. It would be great if the Chinese film market was as prosperous as the Hong Kong film market. The power in the hands of his father would be even greater! A movie has a box office of tens of millions of yuan.

Dozens of movies, that’s billions! Billions of dollars, just thinking about it made her excited!

"Luo Ning, if we don't even know the specific number of cinemas in China, how do Kumho Film Company and Mainland China calculate the revenue together?" Tong Tong was a little surprised.

"It's not a direct deal with Huaying Company. They sell copies directly to Huaying Company, and then Huaying Company organizes them to be shown in cinemas across the country. I heard that the sales are not high, it seems that they only sold 30 million yuan nationwide.

, it’s only 32 million for "Terminator". As for how much more China Film Company can collect, it’s not their business." Luo Ning sighed and said, "China Film Company has taken a bite this time.

A big fat piece of meat!" Before that, he thought that the people at Kumho Film Company were crazy about money and dared to offer such a high price. Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Tong Tong also feels the same way. With how big the land and population is in Hong Kong, the box office revenue may exceed 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 50 million when converted into RMB. The screening rights for the entire country of China only cost 30 million.

RMB, so cheap! And she has also watched "Terminator 2", so she is sure that "Terminator 2" will be popular in the Chinese film market.

"Miss Tong, Mr. Luo, a hundred meters further from here is Hong Kong's most famous jewelry store, Chow Tai Fook!" A young man in his twenties walked over from the side and said in a somewhat weird Mandarin, "We have more than

The 80-year-old Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Shop is the leader in our Hong Kong jewelry industry!" He said with a thumbs up.

"Master Li, I'm going to trouble you this time!" Luo Ning said with a smile.

Li Shao and Li Zhiwei are the third sons of Li Wenjie, the major shareholder of the Hong Kong listed company Changhong Trading Group. The main business of Changhong Trading Group is import and export, and it can be regarded as an above-average company in Hong Kong. These days

In recent years, due to the increasingly high labor and land prices in Hong Kong, many factories have been transferred to the Pearl River Delta region in the mainland.

This Luo Ning is a section chief of the Development and Reform Commission of a neighboring province. Although it sounds like his position is not high, considering his age, department, and more importantly, his family background, Li Zhiwei does not dare to underestimate him at all.

If Changhong Trading Group Co., Ltd. wants to develop stably in the Pearl River Delta region, it is essential to make good friends with powerful figures in the province. Li Wenjie has mentioned more than once at home that the future development of Changhong Trading Group Co., Ltd.

The direction is domestic, and if you want to establish a foothold in the country, you must find a few allies in the domestic officialdom. So after Luo Ning came to Hong Kong, Li Zhiwei did his best to take care of him. No, today Luo Ning proposed to come to Hong Kong

After checking out a well-known jewelry store, Li Zhiwei drove to accompany them.

"No, no, Mr. Luo will be a distinguished guest of my Li family when he comes to Hong Kong. Of course I will do my best to be a landlord!" Li Zhiwei said with a smile.

The three of them walked along the street towards Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. Li Zhiwei also noticed the long queue at the cinema next to the street and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Master Li, it seems that you Hong Kong people like watching movies very much?" Tong Tong suddenly asked.

"Uh, haha, Miss Tong is right. Movies can be said to be an indispensable part of our Hong Kong people's lives. But it's not that exciting like today. It seems that "Terminator 2" will enter the box office this year.

There is great hope for the top three." Li Zhiwei glanced at Tong Tong, and he is still confused about her origins. Luo Ning did not mention Tong Tong's origins, but it was just something that could make Luo Ning call "Sister"

Li Zhiwei will naturally not be offended.

"I heard... Huh?" Tong Tong pointed to the people who were getting out of the car in front of him and said in surprise, "Luo Ning, look at those people, are they the same people we bumped into at the entrance of the "Terminator 2" theater that day?

?”

Luo Ning looked in the direction of her finger, squinted his eyes for a while and said, "Sister Tong, you are mistaken, I don't think it looks like it!"

"Humph! Isn't that true?" Tong Tong immediately quickened his pace.

"Is this the Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Store?" Fang Mingyuan said as he looked at the elegant shops on the street. He was no stranger to Chow Tai Fook. Although he had not bought anything a few times, every time he went to Xidan Street in the capital, he could see the most conspicuous shop there.

place and saw its signboard. At that time, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Co., Ltd. had become the largest diamond importer in Hong Kong, accounting for about 30% of Hong Kong’s annual diamond imports. Dr. Cheng Yutong was also described by jewelry industry experts as one of the best diamond importers in Southeast Asia.

The "King of Jewelry". Its first 999.9 pure gold jewelry is stipulated as the fineness standard for Hong Kong gold jewelry in the Hong Kong government's gold products legislation. The market also equates Chow Tai Fook's gold with quality assurance, becoming a domestic brand.

Consumers are looking for the preferred brand for gold jewelry.

"How's it going? It's grand. There are a wide variety of products sold here, with novel and unique styles and great taste, including 999.9 pure gold jewelry, diamonds, gems, jade, South Sea pearls, Japanese cultured pearl jewelry, etc.; and the most popular k gold in Italy

Jewelry; we also represent world-famous watches and clocks. Mingyuan, if you want to buy jewelry, watches and the like, this is the perfect place." Fang Bin said with a smile.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and everyone stepped into the store.

As soon as they entered the door, Zhao Ya and the others were dazzled by the jewelry and jewelry in the store, and were curious about everything they looked at.

"Sister Lian, take them to see if there is anything they like. My uncle and I will go check the watches!"
