Last week, "Infernal Affairs" ushered in a box office hit in both the mainland and Xiangjiang, but in the new week, the box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" ushered in a cliff-like decline. Ｘ

On Monday, Infernal Affairs had a film scheduling rate of 58 percent in the mainland and 76 percent in Xiangjiang, but the box office results did not rise but fell, only achieving 2.29 million in the mainland and 2.2 million in Xiangjiang.

On Tuesday, the box office continued to fall, with a mainland box office of 2.1 million and a Xiangjiang box office of 2.04 million.

On Wednesday, it was still falling endlessly, and the box office of the mainland box office level Xiangjiang both fell below the 2 million mark, including 1.83 million in the mainland and 1.78 million in Xiangjiang.

After getting the box office results in the past few days, Lin Cheng suddenly knew in his heart that pirated discs, the biggest enemy of the film market in this era, had finally appeared.

Lin Cheng sent people to collect some pirated discs on the market, some of the disc pictures are very clear and some are very blurry, among which the blurred pictures should be pirated in the cinema, which is commonly known as the gun version, the pirated recording effect is very poor, and it will not have much impact on the box office of the movie.

The kind with a clear picture is more disgusting, Lin Cheng is very sure that the theater company should cooperate with the outside, and the pirates buy movie copies directly from the cinema and copy them into discs, this kind of disc has a great impact on the box office, and fans will basically not go to the cinema to watch movies after watching the clear version of the pirated disc.

Lin Cheng was very helpless, he knew that pirates and cinema companies had formed a chain of interests in the distribution of pirated discs, not to mention Lin Cheng in such a huge chain of interests, even if the state came forward to rectify it, it would be powerless, at most it would only suppress the arrogance of piracy a little.

When Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was born, a special operation against piracy was vigorously launched, and even the Central Ministry of Culture came to help.

However, the pirated discs of "Hero" are still flooding the market, and Lin Cheng himself watched the film "Hero" from pirated discs in his previous life.

In today's era, piracy is an unsolvable problem for Chinese films, and only in the 10s of the new century, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous development and updating of film technology, will Chinese people re-enter the cinema and contribute to the development of China's film industry.

In order to compete with pirated discs for the box office, Lin Cheng could only increase the publicity of "Infernal Affairs" and lead the crew to big cities in the mainland for promotion.

Just like the movie roadshows in later generations, the crew members of "Infernal Affairs" continue to appear on TV shows, accept interviews with reporters, and get in close contact with fans and fans, and finally hold up the cliff-like box office a little.

On Thursday, the mainland box office of "Infernal Affairs" finally stopped falling and rebounded, reaching 2.27 million, and the box office in Xiangjiang was 2.08 million.

On Friday, the mainland box office was 2.25 million and Xiangjiang was 1.85 million.

It's Saturday and Sunday holidays again, and the mainland box office collects 3.39 million and 3.23 million in two days, while Xiangjiang collects 2.68 million and 2.36 million.

In the second week of "Infernal Affairs", the local box office achieved a good result of 17.46 million within seven days of its release, and the box office of Xiangjiang achieved a score of 12.79 million.

The box office results of the two weeks were added up, the mainland box office reached 39.06 million yuan, and the Xiangjiang box office reached 32.44 million box office, of which the mainland box office increased nearly five times compared with the total box office of 8 million released in the mainland in 2003, and the box office of Xiangjiang was also more than 2 million more than the box office of the 2002 version.

Moreover, Infernal Affairs still has three weeks to be screened in the mainland, and Lin Cheng predicts that the mainland box office can still achieve a box office of about 25 million to 30 million, and the final box office result is likely to be between 65 million and 70 million.

And "Infernal Affairs" will be released in Xiangjiang for a longer time, and now "Infernal Affairs" is hot at the box office, as long as the reputation and attendance rate are not too bad, there will be at least forty or fifty days of release cycle, that is to say, "Infernal Affairs" will be released in Xiangjiang for a month, and one month is enough for "Infernal Affairs" to win about 25 million box office results.

In this way, the box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" in Xiangjiang is about 57 million-60 million, which is at least a few million higher than the 5500 in the previous life, which can be regarded as worthy of Lin Cheng's hard work.

What kind of person is Lin Cheng now? This is a cow who goes up and down tens of millions a day, and in order to make a box office of only two or three million a day, he is running away from the demon capital and going to the capital, which is really hard enough.

However, as the end of October approached, Lin Cheng's eyes turned to the Asian financial crisis.

In early September, although Lin Cheng announced in the newspaper that he had withdrawn from the financial market, in fact, he diversified his investments and registered more than 10 capital accounts to continue to short Southeast Asian currencies.

Just to avoid attracting the attention of the international predator Soros, the investment amount in Lin Cheng's more than a dozen capital accounts is much less than in the past, and in the whole of September, Lin Cheng earned only 300 million US dollars in the financial market, which is three times less than in August.

Of course, this is also related to the gradual flattening of the first stage of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, after the four tigers in Southeast Asia suffered a heavy setback, most of their economic achievements have been taken away by international speculators, and international speculators also need time to digest the fruits of victory, and September should be their digestion period and gestation period.

Of course, the Asian financial crisis has only just begun its first phase, and the insatiable international speculators will not stop on the offensive. Lin Cheng remembers very well that in late October, international speculators will move to Xiangjiang, the financial center of Asia, to launch the first round of impact on Xiangjiang's linked exchange rate system, and then a magnificent financial war will begin.

It is now October 13, and there are still about 10 days left before Soros attacks the Hong Kong financial market.

Although Huo Yingdong's descendants have many unscrupulous and did not inherit his loyal and patriotic qualities at all, the descendants of the Huo family in later generations are only interested in domestic businesses that make quick money, and they have not invested in domestic industries at all, which is useless to the country.

But since the acquaintance, Huo Yingdong has been very helpful to Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng has thought about it for a long time, and still fulfilled his obligations as an ally, reminding Huo Yingdong to pay close attention to the movements of international speculators, and warning them that Soros will launch an attack on Xiangjiang's linked exchange rate system in ten days at the earliest.

Huo Yingdong attached great importance to Lin Cheng's reminders and warnings, and after receiving the news, Huo Yingdong immediately invited Lin Cheng to Huo's house for dinner, and he needed to ask Lin Cheng in detail, in order to get more and more accurate information.

Lin Cheng regretted it immediately after receiving Huo Yingdong's invitation, and secretly scolded himself for being nosy, even if he didn't have his own reminder, Xiangjiang would have survived the financial crisis without danger, what are you doing with a mouse!

"Damn, I just want to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world without worry, how can I become worried about the country and the people like other reborns?

Although helpless, Huo Yingdong's summoning Lin Cheng still had to go, but in order to pretend to be forced in front of Huo Yingdong, Lin Cheng still made up for Chen Huiyi's financial knowledge, so as not to be embarrassed if he couldn't answer when Huo Yingdong asked.

After playing a temporary cramming, Lin Cheng drove a bulletproof BMW to the Huo family villa that night. At this time, Huo Zhenting, Huo Qigang, father and son will not snub Lin Cheng like last time, now Lin Cheng is worth nearly 10 billion, plus he lives at No. 22 Baijia Road on the top of Taiping Mountain, no one in the entire Xiangjiang will dare to treat him as an upstart who does not learn and does not know how to do it.

In order to show the importance of Lin Cheng, the Huo family courtyard opened the middle door, and Huo Zhenting, Huo Qigang, father and son, went out in person to welcome Lin Cheng.

Although Lin Cheng was quite unpleasant to Huo Zhenting, Huo Qigang's father and son's praise and low-level behavior, he still put on a flattered appearance when greeting the two, which made Huo Zhenting, Huo Qigang and his son feel a little more balanced in their hearts, thinking that Lin Cheng's character is still good, and he has not become proud because of the rapid improvement of his identity.

Old man Huo Yingdong also walked out of the door of the house to greet him, and after seeing Lin Cheng's figure, he greeted Lin Cheng from afar, and said enthusiastically: "I asked you to come at eight o'clock, why did you come at half past seven?"

If it weren't for the worry of coming too early to disturb your old man's rest, I would have rushed over after receiving your call to invite me. ”

Lin Cheng's ability to tell people and tell nonsense has been perfected, and this time the sycophants came down, Old Man Huo really used it very much, and laughed.

Lin Cheng went to a study under the guidance of Mr. Huo Yingdong, but he was surprised to find that there was something else in the study, and he found more than a dozen laptops and network cables in the corner of the study.

Seeing Lin Cheng's doubts, Huo Yingdong explained: "I'm old, and if I go to the trading floor to command, my body can't bear it, so I learned from foreign financial tycoons and got a small financial operation room in my own home, which can command nearby and quickly give instructions." ”

Lin Cheng exclaimed loudly: "When the motherland was embargoed by the United Nations, I heard that Huo Lao also set up a transportation headquarters at home, and under the siege and interception of the British authorities in Hong Kong, he commanded thousands of horses and thousands of troops to send the most urgently needed materials to the motherland. Now that Huo Lao is doing his old tricks again, he must definitely beat Soros and his group of national speculators to the ground. ”

Huo Yingdong waved his hand and said: "Today is different from the past, when I was young and strong, coupled with my love for the motherland, I feel that even if I go to the soup for the motherland, I will not give up." Now I am over 70 years old, even if I still love the motherland, but my body is not forgiving, the future of the motherland, mainly depends on you young people, I will help you pave the way at most, and send you a ride. ”

Lin Cheng said movingly: "I have always remembered Huo Lao's love for me, and I will definitely live up to Huo Lao's trust and become a talent who is useful to the motherland and the people." ”

Huo Yingdong motioned for Lin Cheng to sit down and speak, and said to Lin Cheng earnestly: "I have seen your performance in the past few months, and the short selling of Southeast Asia in the financial market is regarded as earning a lot of capital for yourself, which I do not encourage or criticize. On the contrary, I praise your Lin family's large industrial investment in the motherland, our country is so big, only by doing business in a down-to-earth manner can it be of greater benefit to the motherland!"
