Time flowed smoothly, and June was passing in the blink of an eye.

"The Matrix 2", which was released for 20 days, finally failed to hold on to the top spot at the weekend box office, but it managed to increase its total box office to 3.41 billion yuan with the box office of 180 million yuan this week.

This number also successfully surpassed "The Mermaid" and rose to the first place in the total box office list of mainland films!

And with the impact of refreshing the box office results, the original single-day box office has fallen by 50 million yuan, and now it has risen to 68 million, indicating that it can fight for another 500 years!

Galaxy Pictures had already applied to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to postpone the screening of the film for one month, and it was approved.

Although the total income may be very small in July, it can increase a little, at least there are still many viewers who are not bored.

North America is about to fall faster, Lin Han and "The Matrix" are fighting away from home, and when the cumulative box office reaches $370 million, the growth rate has slowed down significantly.

It's just that with tenacious stamina, it shouldn't be a problem to break through to $400 million!

China's side is 570 million US dollars, North America is 400 million, and the box office of overseas countries is also very strong, especially the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Korea, which continue to win the championship, with a total box office of 1.49 billion US dollars, and it is expected to eventually fall on 1.6 billion US dollars.

The box office is so high, and the money that Galaxy Pictures can get is not as much as imagined, after all, it is only the producer, and if it wants to share the money with the distributor and the theater chain, it will always get about 30%!

In other words, just at the box office, Galaxy Pictures can make close to $500 million from "The Matrix 2"!

How many Hollywood blockbusters have not been able to get such high box office numbers in total.

This does not count the income of copyright and peripherals, especially in terms of copyright, there is no need to share the income with others, and the money obtained is almost all your own except for the channel!

Galaxy Pictures feels that it can be regarded as making a lot of money, and the next "Matrix 3" can bring the same amount of income.

This small company, which has only shot a few movies, has a net profit that is higher than that of listed companies such as Huayi Brothers.

Countless venture capital funds want to join in, but it's a pity that Galaxy Pictures lacks everything, just not lack money!

There is a steady stream of movies here to make money, and book sales over there have reached record highs, and Lin Han really can't find anything to spend money on.

Of course, there are also many directors, screenwriters and even authors who want to find Lin Han to invest in the script, and want Boss Lin to hand over the money to them, and they are blowing up one by one.

However, Galaxy Pictures has always taken the high-quality route, preferring to make fewer movies than to make bad movies and ruin its reputation!

So the most time they spend is investing, investing in some more reliable movies or TV series.

Like Li Wenyuan's film "Out of the Galaxy", Spielberg's new film "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the TV series "Lost" all have Galaxy Pictures' investment!

With money in his hand, he has to spend it, so Lin Han is not soft on charity, and has donated hundreds of millions of yuan before and after.

This can be regarded as using some classic works on the earth to help those in need, at least it will make Lin Han's heart feel better!

……

"Xiaolin, do you still have time to teach in the second half of the year?"

Cai Yu, vice president of Peking University, made a special call to ask, he had not forgotten that Lin Han was a distinguished professor of the school, and of course this resource had to be put to good use.

Lin Han on the other side of the phone was sitting under the air conditioner, he was originally playing Dota 2, and now he had to get the character back into the base, and he quickly replied: "President Cai, I am also a member of Peking University, of course I want to come back!" ”

The agreement he signed with Peking University was that he would only take one semester of classes a year, and only one public elective course would be offered in that semester, and the conditions were quite relaxed.

"Then I'll let the Registrar's Office drain your class, or Monday afternoon, right?"

If the vice president of Peking University can make a special call to ask whether to open a course, it is estimated that there are not many people in Peking University who can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Lin Han nodded again and again, he was completely paddling now, and his teammates had already started scolding, "That's right, this time is good." ”

Cai Yu didn't know that Lin Han was in a hurry to play the game, he said slowly: "By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, I have already recommended your name and work to the Swedish Academy of Letters." This year's selection has begun. ”

"So early?"

Lin Han was very surprised, although he has always regarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as his goal, he also knows that it is difficult to impress those judges with science fiction works, especially when he is so young, it is not his turn to rank seniority.

So he simply shifted his goal to the Oscars, at least the Oscars were a little easier, and he could see the nominations.

No, he won an Oscar in February this year, although it is not the best work or writer and director, but the best original screenplay.

"It's not early. According to the regulations of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the recommendation will be submitted to the Swedish Academy of Letters before January 1 of each year, and the selection results will be announced around November 1. I've recommended your work for two years in a row, and I don't know if I can be selected by the judges! ”

Cai Yu also knows that Lin Han's recent award has little hope, one is the subject matter limit, the other is the age limit, and the other is the nationality factor.

Mo Yan only won the Nobel Prize in 2012, and the judges of the Nobel Prize in Literature could not have given this prize to a Chinese so quickly, of course, they also have very willful times.

It can't be said that it is impossible, it can only be said that the probability is low, after all, everything is possible!

The Nobel Prize in Literature stipulates that only academicians of national academies of letters, professors of literary history and language in universities and other institutions of higher learning, former Nobel laureates and presidents of national writers' associations have the right to recommend candidates.

One of the reasons why Lin Han joined Peking University is that Cai Yu once promised to help recommend his works, otherwise Lin Han would have to find other relationships!

More than 300 nomination letters are sent to the Swedish Academy of Literature every year, and so many of them have to be sifted through before they can be confirmed, primary, re-selected and finalized.

Lin Han thanked him from the bottom of his heart and said, "Principal Cai, thank you for your recommendation, let's do your best to obey the destiny of heaven now." ”

"Don't be depressed." Cai Yu comforted and said, "Since the Academy of Letters can award a literary award to a singer, why can't it be awarded to science fiction literature?" Always have a little hope. ”

He then added, "Of course, don't be blindly confident, it's better to keep these secrets, don't make a fuss, otherwise after the results come out, some media will embarrass you." ”

Lin Han knew Cai Yu's good intentions very well, and he replied: "I know this, thank you!" ”
