Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 159
Luo Junyan had just arrived in South Korea with the crew, and happened to be a good thing.
South Korea’s Silver Snow Throne Entertainment will be listed on the market in July and become a member of Gosdaq. This is different from the kind of backdoor listing of Snowman Century Entertainment, which can raise a certain amount of capital.
Jin Zhehe picked out some parts that Luo Junyan could understand and reported to him, and the registration system and FSC were skipped, in case his boss came up with something else.
After Yinxuewangzuo Entertainment went public, XJ International Entertainment Media Group Co., Ltd. holds 67.8% of the shares and holds absolute controlling rights. At present, it has reached the stage of public offering of shares to the public, and the sale situation is quite gratifying. It is estimated that the total amount of funds raised this time is 25 billion won.
After the public sale is over, you can apply for listing. At the beginning of listing, the market value was about 80 billion won.
In addition, the Korean version of “My Savage Girlfriend” is expected to be released on July 26. Director Guo Jae Rong invited Luo Junyan to watch the movie. If the film sells this time, the stock price of the listed company will surely rise, which is a good start.
Luo Junyan probably understood the situation, the situation is gratifying, and the situation is pressing.
Then you have to support “My Savage Girlfriend”. After the company goes public, it’s just a little troublesome, and it has to go around the stock price. Will “Head and Master in One” go? These are all problems, and it is not good to fall behind.
Putting aside irrelevant nosy, “Initial D” continued the intense filming work. Luo Junyan also began to ponder the idea of editing. It was a wrong idea to mobilize the audience’s emotions throughout the process, and to leave time for breathing.
The soundtrack, theme song and interlude were handed over to a Japanese company to complete. Not to mention the original taste, at least the goods must be in the correct version, and the background and atmosphere must match the original.
At the same time, the Hong Kong Film Market has entered the summer season. Similar to the situation in the United States, the box office of the Christmas stalls has begun to decline, and the summer stalls have gradually become the most popular time.
Long Ge’s “Secret Agent City” finally won 30.09 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which is definitely not a surprise, only one step away from shock.
At present, it depends on what will happen to the box office of “Slimming Men and Women” which will be released on June 21 and “Shaolin Football” which will be released on July 12. Can the combination of Hua Ge and Zheng Xiuwen make persistent efforts? Brother Star has been holding back for a year, can he use his big move?
According to Hu Xin’s call to report, Director Tsui Hark is also holding back his big move. It is still his favorite fantasy fairy movie “The Legend of Shushan”, with a production cost of 110 million Hong Kong dollars. He also hired a Hollywood special effects company and used 1,600 special effects shots.
Luo Junyan didn’t know where Hu Xin got the news. But 1600 special effects shots cost so little money? Gemini digital special effects company can’t take it down, let alone Hollywood special effects company. Is it possible to hire a third-rate special effects company?
The reason why Hu Xin investigated in such detail is because “Initial D” is very likely to collide with “Biography of Shu Mountain”. “Initial D” is expected to be screened across Asia in mid-August, and the distribution work has been in operation for some time. Hu Xin is worried that “The Legend of Shushan” will steal the box office.
Luo Junyan could only tell her that “Initial D” only had more than 500 special effects shots, which cost nearly 40 million. Brother Xing’s “Shaolin Football” was given to Gemini. More than 600 special effects shots cost more than 30 million. Special effects are not the same as special effects. There are many factors involved, and there are also many second-hands in the United States.
Do you still need to worry about comparing special effects on the same stage? It is enough for Luo Junyan to ask her to do a good job of publicity and distribution.
On June 21, “Slimming Men and Women” was first released. The attendance rate for the first three days was still quite good. Hua Ge began to transform into an acting school. This time his participation in “Initial D” touched him a lot.
On July 3, the Silver Snow Throne was listed on Gosdaq. Luo Junyan still did not attend the listing ceremony and was fully represented by Jin Zhehe. However, there were so many stars in the Korean entertainment circle. Media reports caused a sensation and led the stock price to rise slightly.
On July 12, “Shaolin Football” was released in Xiangjiang. In the Xiangjiang movie market, Brother Star’s appeal is still unmatched, and the venues are almost full. If this trend continues, the box office will definitely explode.
If Luo Junyan bumped into Zhou Xingchi, he would have a guilty conscience, but fortunately he would have avoided it. When “Initial D” is released, “Shaolin Football” is about to be painted.
On July 16, the production of “Initial D” was completed, and the special effects company specially produced a few CG clips. The clips are used for publicity, which may be different from the scenes in the film, but they are more eye-catching.
Luo Junyan could finally catch his breath. After attending the premiere of “My Savage Girlfriend”, he will return to Xiangjiang. This time the main battlefield will be in Xiangjiang, although the box office results of Japan and South Korea may be higher.
In these few days of leisure, Luo Junyan specifically asked Qian Shouyi to learn about the progress of the investigation.
The inner ghost has determined the object of suspicion, and is a core figure in sister army’s acquisition team. At present, this person has immigrated to Canada.
When he left Xiangjiang in a hurry, he sold an inherited property at a very low price. Qian Shouyi is planning to go to Canada to arrest him and ask for his confession.
The MAX Group has completely transformed into the entertainment industry, taking the path of signing artists and casting movies. The construction of the cinema chain has already passed half of the project. The planning and design adopted is very similar to the original plan of the army sister, except that the scale of the single building is reduced and the decoration level is lowered.
It takes a huge sum of money to build a movie theater, and even Luo Junyan’s bankruptcy was not enough. The president of MAX Group Park Daxun spent so much money to build the theater, really intends to earn movie ticket money? I’m afraid he doesn’t have that patience.
Luo Junyan feels that it is necessary to investigate the MAX Group’s financial situation and Park Daxun’s personal situation in detail. As for Black Hand, is it him? Luo Junyan didn’t think about it, and put her name first.
After the screening of “Initial D”, Huang Jiadong had to be cleaned up first. Xu Jinheng is still in line, Park Daxun has to keep this hard bone to chew at the end, and by that time he will never die.
On July 26, “My Savage Girlfriend” was released in major theaters in South Korea. The appearance of Luo Junyan still brought a very good publicity effect, and the media followed up and reported on the film one after another.
South Korean media generally like to exaggerate. A media outlet gave a detailed report on Luo Junyan’s acting experience under the title “A Man Like a King”, but other media have also reprinted it.
After this king-like man was over at the premiere, director Guo Jae-yong was taken to his house for a drink, and the protagonist Cha Tae-hyun and Quan Ji-hyun were also accompanied by the film’s male and female protagonists.
Jun Jixian felt that this king might have been living among the people for too long. The instant noodles were so full of enthusiasm that they didn’t treat them as outsiders at all, but Jun Jixian liked the kindness of Luo Junyan.
On July 27th, Luo Junyan took the opportunity to return to Xiangjiang and began to participate in the pre-heating publicity activities of “Initial D”.
“Initial D” can be regarded as a collision with “Biography of Shu Mountain”, it is absolutely head-on.
“The Legend of Shushan” is scheduled to be released on August 9, and “Initial D” is scheduled to be released on August 10. By the time the two films were released, the box office of “Shaolin Football” had not yet finished, and the competition was fierce.
The propaganda strategy of “Initial D” is to first use Luo Junyan to cross the nearly 20-year-old age difference as a gimmick, attracting the public’s attention to the new film. Subsequently, in early August, the intensive broadcast of clips on TV stations and the Internet caused a sensational effect.
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia have all been negotiated. This time, “Initial D” will be released simultaneously in several major markets in Asia. The promotion strategy is exactly the same. The promotion budget alone is as high as 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
This brings the total budget of “Initial D” to 90 million Hong Kong dollars, which is among the ranks of Xiangjiang A-level production. As for whether it can be earned back? Luo Junyan has never had such a strong confidence, because he is convinced that this film is a true classic.
The publicity expenditure of “The Legend of Shushan” is much less. Director Tsui Hark’s production costs have been seriously overrun, which has caused dissatisfaction with the investors, and it is impossible for him to spend more than tens of millions to promote it.
“Slimming Men and Women” has been finished, and the box office performance is very good, winning 40.43 million Hong Kong dollars. The Xiangjiang film circle is full of applause. The local production of 40 million box office has not been seen for a long time. This is the kind of fire for the market to recover.
In August, Luo Junyan began to appear in Xiangjiang.
The smoothness and whiteness of the skin simply fascinated all the wealthy ladies of Xiangjiang. This is how it is maintained. From a distance, a 38-year-old man looks like a schoolboy in Form 5.
Immediately afterwards, special effects films began to bombard intensively.
Just say how shocking it is. Xiangjiang citizens felt the same as they felt when they saw “Jurassic Park”. They felt that the racing cars seemed to roar by, and the sparks splashed during the collision, and the drifting grazing feeling was so amazing and real.
Luo Junyan also discovered a benefit of the company going public. Shareholders are all helping to actively promote “Initial D”, and they must be there to support it. If this is a big box office, the stock price of Snowman Century will inevitably skyrocket.
On the same day that “The Legend of Shushan” premiered, Luo Junyan came out to speak again.
He said that the South Korean Gemini Digital Special Effects Company, an affiliate of Xiangjiang Snowman Century Entertainment, has been highly recognized by American capital after evaluation and will be listed on the Nasdaq in the United States before the end of the year.
Gemini Digital Special Effects Company has been among the top ranks of the world’s special effects production service providers, occupying a super A-level dominance in Asia.
As a result, Luo Junyan was interviewed by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. If you don’t make an official announcement, you will be talking nonsense. However, Luo Junyan promised not to reduce his holdings, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission had to warn him and deal with him. This is how he did not want to.
But the effect is indeed leveraged, completely disturbing the premiere of “The Legend of Shu Mountain”. At the same time, before the release of “Initial D”, the stock of Yeti Century began to soar, and the people of Xiangjiang recalled the bad luck of the lone star of Tiansha.
On August 10, “Initial D” was drawn on the whole line.
There was a long-awaited long queue in front of the ticket office. Even when “Shaolin Football” premiered, it couldn’t be compared with the grand occasion at the moment, because the film was so wonderful.
Luo Junyan was sitting in the car looking at the long dragon who bought the tickets, feeling a little bit emotional.
It’s not that the audience doesn’t pay for the local production, but the demand for the film has become higher. If you want to make money by relying on a few stars, it is equivalent to holding a pair of S and you dare to stud, and the chance of winning the bet is too small.
After Luo Junyan stayed in Xiangjiang for three days, he was sure that he was foolproof. Once again, I began to travel around the world, to promote the film in various places, and boost the box office.
August 2001 was a lucky month for Luo Junyan.
The novel “Construction” was published, and the first comic book “Construction” was released on the market.
Based on the design of the comics, Jin Zhehe officially started the construction of the studio in Busan, and Faust will lay the foundation.
Hu Xin’s purchase of commercial properties is progressing smoothly. At the same time, Xueguo Entertainment Network, with the assistance of sister army, reached an agreement with Shaw Brothers, and began to launch the film whose copyright belongs to Shaw Brothers.
This time Luo Junyan did not show “Initial D” on the Internet. The lessons learned from “Secret Agents” are enough to make him make the right choice. At this time, the physical theater is still a battleground for military strategists and the main battlefield of the movie circle.
In addition, in South Korea, “My Savage Girlfriend” is a big hit at the box office, and the movie-watching boom is still going on. Silver Snow Throne’s stock price has risen continuously, which is a real performance.
Luo Junyan embarked on an Asian propaganda journey humming a small song.
When the Asian box office is ready to speak, he plans to release “Initial D” to Europe and the United States, and fight for those Hollywood racing movies.
