Because the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is now overheated, and the price completely exceeds their own value, Wu Ming has not set up a cinema chain in Xiangjiang for the time being. Instead, he is going to wait until the collapse of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang before setting up a cinema chain.

However, Wu Ming's vision is naturally not limited to a small piece of Xiangjiang, but focuses on the world. That's why Wu Ming will buy a cinema chain in the United States, and Southeast Asia, which is relatively popular with Xiangjiang films, will naturally be no exception.

And because prices in Southeast Asia are relatively low, Wu Mingna let go of his hands and wantonly bought movie theaters. It only cost $270 million to set up such a large cinema chain with more than 70 theaters and 300,000 seats.

In order to acquire these two theater chains in the United States and Southeast Asia, Wu Ming spent all the profits of Xingchen Entertainment in the last half year, and Huo Jianning complained about it for a long time.

The reason why Wu Ming is in such a hurry to set up a cinema in Southeast Asia is also because the Shaw family, where Shaw Yifu belongs, has a very strong influence in Southeast Asia. Now that his relationship with Shaw Yifu is so bad, Shaw Yifu will definitely get in the way of it, so that DreamWorks' films will not be released there. Therefore, Wu Ming had to set up a cinema chain in Southeast Asia that was completely his own.

As Shao Yifu's old opponent, Zou Wenhuai naturally suffered from it. It's just that Golden Harvest has been established for so many years, and it still has some connections.

Moreover, Golden Harvest is now the overlord of the Heung Kong film industry, and its films belong to the most sophisticated level in Southeast Asia. Cinema operators in Southeast Asia are not stupid, and they don't know how to make money if they have money. At first, for the sake of the Shaw family, they all refused to show Golden Harvest's films. After the rise of Golden Harvest, how will they throw the cash cow outside.

It's just that the Shaw Brothers family has deep roots in Southeast Asia after all, even if the Shaw Brothers movie has been lonely, Golden Harvest is still not as good as the Shaw Brothers movie over there.

Now knowing that Wu Ming actually has such a super-large cinema line over there, Zou Wenhuai suddenly sighed that he did not make a mistake. As soon as the alliance was formed, his allies gave such a big gift.

"From now on, I will have to rely on Wu Sheng's help in Southeast Asia!" Zou Wenhuai said excitedly.

Wu Ming smiled and said, "We have formed an alliance now, and we will naturally help each other in the future, and Golden Harvest can go to DreamWorks if it is necessary in Southeast Asia." Of course, in Xiangjiang, DreamWorks will also unceremoniously look for you Golden Harvest. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Of course!"

……

"Best Partner" really did not disappoint Wu Ming, and after its release, it was really a standout and a peerless ride. After the premiere, everyone else knew that it was a good film and bought tickets to watch it, and the attendance rate on the third day reached 80%, the fourth day was 90%, and the sixth day was full.

A week later.

"Boss, the box office came out in the first week, six million! There are six million!" Shi Nansheng shouted excitedly.

Now the box office champion of Hong Kong is the HK$17.7 million of Modern Bodyguard, but the box office in the first week did not reach such a height of HK$6 million. And "Best Partner", although it has been heavily promoted, is after all the work of the new company DreamWorks. The box office in the first week reached 6 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really quite remarkable.

Wu Ming already knew that "Best Partner" would have very good results, and HK$6 million was just a small amount in his eyes.

Therefore, Wu Ming just pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "Hehe, Manager Shi." The days to come are still long, and six million is nothing. Our DreamWorks films will sooner or later exceed HK$10 million at the box office in the first week. ”

Shi Nansheng was also a little speechless when he heard Wu Ming say so "unashamedly". shook his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Boss, this is our company's first movie, and it is already a great luck to have a box office of 6 million in the first week." ”

"It's a good sign that DreamWorks has had such a good start. Wu Ming said with a smile.

Shi Nansheng nodded and smiled: ""Best Partner" broke through the box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars and became the champion of the box office list. In this way, our DreamWorks will be able to make a name for itself, and it will be much easier to recruit people. ”

In the past six months, although DreamWorks has the full support of Wu Ming, there is also the help of a group of elites in Hollywood. But after all, he is a newcomer to the film industry, has no influence, and develops relatively slowly. Now with the movie "Best Partner" as a guarantee, I believe that DreamWorks will soon enter the fast lane of development.

Wu Ming smiled slightly, looked at Xu Ke, and said, "Director Xu, you are the director of "Best Partner", and this movie can get such good results, you should take the first credit." ”

Xu Ke said modestly when he heard this: "If you didn't write such a good script without your boss, I wouldn't have been able to make such an excellent movie." Or the boss, you have the most credit. ”

"Okay, you're a Xu Ke, I didn't expect you to be a sycophant. Wu Ming scolded with a smile, "A good script must have a good director to make a good movie, so you don't have to be so modest." ”

Wu Ming thought about it carefully for a while, and then said with a smile: "That's it, in addition to the 300,000 director fee you already have, after the movie is painted, you can take another two percent of the total box office." ”

Xu Ke immediately said respectfully: "Then thank you boss!"

Wu Ming nodded and asked, "Director Xu, do you still need to rest?"

When Xu Ke heard this, his eyes lit up, and he understood that Wu Ming had another task to hand over to him. hurriedly replied: "No need, I've been resting for nearly a month since the end of "Best Partner". ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "That's good, I have a comedy action movie here that I want you to shoot." ”

After speaking, Wu Ming took out a script from behind him and handed it to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke took the script and read it carefully.

Half an hour later, Xu Ke read the script and said with emotion: "Boss, you really have a talent for comedy, and you actually wrote such an excellent comedy action movie script as "Five Lucky Stars". ”

"Five Lucky Stars" is the first film in the "Five Lucky Stars" series, and the "Five Lucky Stars" series of movies was filmed by Golden Harvest to compete with the best partner film series. With its strong local comedy elements, ultra-luxurious star cast, and gorgeous film production, the Five Lucky Star series has been dominating the top position of the movie box office for several years and the best partner series.

"I hope you can finish filming this movie within four months and release it in time for the Spring Festival. Of course, that's not to make you let your demands down. It's about speeding up the shot while maintaining quality. ”

Wu Ming took out the script of this movie, not only to take down the IP of "Five Lucky Stars" first, but also to hope that DreamWorks can show its skills again during the Spring Festival.

Wu Ming looked at Xu Ke and asked, "How is it, can it be completed?"

Xu Ke pondered for a while and replied firmly, "No problem!"

There is also a change, which will be released at about three o'clock.
