"Rocky" is a hit, and it is already unstoppable.

The next day, under Lansing's operation, almost seventy percent of the American media praised DreamWorks boss Wu Cheng's extraordinary vision, praised the good shooting of "Rocky", and built momentum for "Rocky".

The typical American spirit of "Rocky" makes the audience feel very high!

In particular, 'Rocky' did not overturn his opponent in the end, but persevered all the way, and this spirit of 'stick to the end and never give up' can be said to be applicable all over the world.

The addition of "Rocky" has become inevitable!

And with the popularity of "Rocky", not only the fame of "DreamWorks" has increased, but also the fame of the main creators of this drama has also grown wildly, especially the starring Sylvester Stallone.

Of course, Wu Cheng's own fame is also increasing.

Especially, when people know that this young Oriental is still a very talented musician, this kind of pursuit makes Wu Cheng himself feel a little unreal.

Of course, these are all later stories, after the premiere of "Rocky", Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi, as well as Hong Jinbao and Shenglong, are ready to go home, and Xiangjiang is still a mess!

Before leaving, Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi went to buy some small gifts for their families, Wu Cheng originally wanted to buy some toys for Zhou Huimin and Lan Jieying, two little pot friends.

As a result, he found that the toys of this period seemed to be quite large in size, and small toys were still relatively difficult to find, let alone the variant King Kong that Wu Cheng wanted.

After carefully searching for his memories, Wu Chengcai was pleasantly surprised to find that the Autobot Transformers had not yet appeared. And Hasbro Toys has not yet developed the habit of letting little pot friends develop a habit of collecting small toy models.

This situation will not start until next year, when Star Wars launches Star Wars toys.

Wu Cheng feels that this is a piece of fat that can't be fatter, in Hollywood, the income of a film, the box office only accounts for a small part, although this situation has not yet appeared, but there are already a little signs. I believe that as long as it is a few years later, this situation will definitely appear.

As a 'person who has come over', Wu Cheng can be said to know this situation best. The income of toys will account for more and more of the revenue of movies.

Wu Cheng felt that it was completely possible to set up a toy company to prepare for next year's 'Star Wars'. In addition, he can also start a comic company, draw all the comics he has seen, and put them on the market, and the income from this piece will definitely not be less.

For example, Hong Kong Manga's 'Fengyun' series, 'Crazy Boy' series, such as Japanese comic Transformers and Street Fighter, etc., can also be adapted from Resident Evil, these are all pieces of fat and oily fat.

Although Street Fighter Wu Cheng has only played arcade machines and his skills are still very good, this does not prevent him from turning these characters into stories, into comics, and then developing them into games.

Wu Cheng feels that he still has a lot to do, especially the establishment of a toy company. Because 'Star Wars' is about to be released.

……

And just when Wu Cheng and the others left California, his pure music album "Piano Rhapsody" swept all the music charts with a dark horse posture and swept the entire European and American markets.

If Wu Cheng's album were a Chinese album, it would definitely not have such an amazing effect, but this is a piano music album without borders, which makes many people who love music can't stop listening to it, and they can't stop.

As a result, within a month, this pure music album sold more than 5 million copies in Europe and the United States, leaving countless musicians jaw-dropping and exclaiming.

After seeing this situation, Polygram's senior management finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer felt at a loss about exchanging the distribution rights of this album for Deng Lijun's contract.

Wu Cheng just smiled when he got the news. He was mentally prepared for this situation, but he didn't expect that the truth was even crazier than he imagined.

He reckons that being able to do this has a bonus effect on him promoting himself in California, promoting the film company and the new film "Rocky".

Otherwise, there will never be such strength in propaganda under normal circumstances.

Taken together, the multiplicity of these is ...... Wu Cheng could only smile and secretly scolded: It's really cheap for Polygram's bastards!

Fortunately, Wu Cheng's income from this album will not be less, which makes him feel a little comforted in addition to helplessness. The licensing fee for an album is two and a half dollars, and five million copies, that's more than $12 million. Fenglong Records' revenue this year has ranked first among Wu Cheng's many companies. No wonder countless singers want to be popular, this is simply a money grab!

With this money, Wu Cheng directly used nine million dollars to take over the cinema chain in Hollywood, and hung the cinema chain under Zhao Yazhi's name, named 'Angel', which is Zhao Yazhi's English name. Lao Mei has an anti-monopoly law, and Wu Cheng has his own film company, so he can't have his own theater chain. Things can be flexible, though!

There are so many film companies in Hollywood, all of them are taking advantage of the loopholes of the law. Although there is an anti-monopoly law, if the eight major film companies do not have their own theaters, he will not believe it.

When Wu Cheng was dealing with these things, Hung Jinbao's "The Loser" was also released in Xiangjiang, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers did not fight with Wu Cheng this time, and even sent a message to Wu Cheng, with the intention of co-releasing "The Loser" with Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng is happy to see this situation. Although he also knows that Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers must have their reasons for doing this, maybe they will ask Feilong Cinema to release their films in the future. But Wu Cheng felt that it didn't matter, someone helped release "The Loser", such a good opportunity was sent to the door, if you don't seize it, you will be a fool.

Heaven gives Fu to take, but suffers from it!

Sure enough, ten days after the release of "The Loser", the box office reached more than 10 million, and the three theaters were shrinking their screens, Golden Harvest proposed to Donglong to jointly release their films.

The film was called "Iron Fist" and was directed by the bald guy Mecca.

In the previous life, Wu Cheng had not seen this film, or even heard of it. In his mind, it should be a bad movie that is not very famous! Otherwise, it would not be well-known at all.

Under the joint screening of "Lost Word Boy" in three theaters, Wu Cheng had no choice but to draw it on the twelfth day of its release, because its potential has been squeezed out.

The final box office was more than 11 million, which still failed to exceed the box office of 'Five Lucky Stars'.

However, such results, in the eyes of Wu Cheng and Hong Jinbao, are a very satisfactory answer. You must know that the investment in "Lost Words" is not as big as "Five Lucky Stars".

Speaking of which, these films can be regarded as typical of knives and sawing trees.

This also made Donglong International and Wu Cheng breathe a sigh of relief from a red deficit.

December of '76 was a bumper month for Wu Cheng himself, for Fenglong Records, for Donglong International and DreamWorks.

Not to mention the big sales of the record, the movies are also big sellers, whether it is the film "Rocky" that he invested in Hollywood, or the film "The Loser" on the side of Xiangjiang, Wu Cheng has surfaced from the vast sea of debts, and there is a sense of relaxation and pleasure that he has finally come out of the way and is waiting for the harvest.

Just like the old farmer watching the rice harvest in the field, the mood is particularly refreshing.

In addition to these good news, in addition, Shirley Lansing, the general manager of DreamWorks, sent another good news to Wu Cheng, that is, the three films of "Fuxing One", "Drunken Fist", and "Miscellaneous Boy" have finally found a theater to release in North America.

Lei Shidong's help made Wu Cheng happy and grateful, but also had some surprises.

But if he can't figure it out, Wu Cheng will just think about it, Lei Shidong sells him well, and he will ask for something in the future, as long as he can help, he won't mind helping.

You can't refuse such a good thing just because you're worried that someone else will ask for something, isn't it!

As for the English versions of these three films, the translations have long been done.

Moreover, the box office revenues of the two films "Drunken Fist" and "Miscellaneous Boy" in Japan and South Korea were also settled at the end of November and early December, that is, after Wu Cheng returned to Xiangjiang, and the money was transferred to Donglong International.

These two films, because of the foundation of 'Fu Xingyi', have an income of more than 60 million in Japan and South Korea, that is, a film has an income of more than 30 million over there, and they are all after-tax income. Compared with the box office in Xiangjiang City, there are many box offices over there.

South Korea is still a little behind, and the ticket warehouse on the island of Japan is terrifying.

I remember that Shenglong's "Plan A" had a box office of nearly 3 billion yen on Nichishima, which was equivalent to more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars at that time, and the box office ration was more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars.

It can be said that Shenglong at that time was the most gold-absorbing superstar among Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Calculated that when Wu Cheng came to Christmas, the company's income, including those that had not yet been entered into the company's account, totaled more than 340 million.

Among them, more than 60 million are from Fenglong Records, more than 70 million are from Donglong International, and about 10 million are the profits of Tiancheng Brokerage Company. And "Rocky", which was produced and released by DreamWorks, actually brought nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars to DreamWorks.

In North America, the box office of "Rocky" is more than 110 million US dollars, which simply scared the eyes of countless people on the American side. MGM even regretted vomiting N liters of blood.

As for the "Urban Entertainment Daily", it was not counted.

This money, in addition to taxes, and the basic operating funds needed to leave the company, the arrears that should be paid off by the bank this month, and the dividends of several company shareholders, plus the acquisition of the 'Angel' cinema line, there is still about 200 million Hong Kong dollars left to belong to Wu Cheng personally.

Of course, the box office in North America did not enter DreamWorks so quickly.

So he swiped his pen and used three million funds to set up a comic company, Fengyun Comics, and then recruited troops.

And for 10 million, he acquired a toy company in North America and changed its name to 'Children's Toys'.

The first toy - Rubik's Cube!
