At the end of 1980, Fang Jianhui summed up his past year:

made two movies, among which "The Sixth Sense" had a total global box office of 495 million, beating "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" and winning the box office championship at the end of the year. This film has refreshed the film history record of the British and RB box office, the third in the history of Germany (after Jaws and Home Alone), with more than 8 million attendees, ranking first in France as the annual champion, and the countries with a box office of more than 10 million US dollars include Italy, Spain, Australia, Brazil, etc., and in Taiwan and Xiangjiang in the Chinese region, it is also a well-deserved annual champion (not counting the "My Sassy Girlfriend" that is being released), of which the Taipei box office is more than NT$28 million, and the Xiangjiang box office is more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars.

Another "My Savage Girlfriend", which is being screened in East Asia and Southeast Asia, in addition to a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, it has also set off a wave of "barbarism", in which the heroine often adds fists and kicks to the male protagonist, which has been imitated by many women, Zhong Chuhong has also become the idol of countless teenagers, her faith value is rising rapidly every day, and many girls do not hesitate to re-enter the cinema again and again in order to remember the ten rules of love. With the hot screening of the film, Ibelieve sung by Fang Jianhui also resounded all over the streets and alleys.

helped Teresa Teng release an album "Guilty", in which WomaninLove entered the top of the Billboard Singles 100 chart and won for three consecutive weeks; Guilty, who sang with Fang Jianhui, is on the charts, reaching the third place on the Billboard 100, and the excellent performance of the two songs has led to the hot sales of the album, which was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America two months after its release, and has now shipped more than 3 million copies worldwide. Together with the popularity of the single album, Fang Jianhui filmed the MV for Teresa Teng, which premiered on Fox TV Network's MTV, and was favored by various TV networks with its excellent quality, and was broadcast in turn on major TV networks. This trend has gradually spread beyond the United States, and now even Xiangjiang's wireless and Li's TV can see Teresa Teng's MV.

The single "EndlessLove" sung by him and Teresa Teng has not yet been released, because a film company named Polygram Pictures is preparing to make a movie called EndlessLove. Fang Jianhui read the script of the movie and found that the box office of the movie was okay, and the song would be better when the song was launched with the momentum of the movie, so he agreed.

Looking at his financial situation, because of the acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox and the formation of the Fox television network, Fang Jianhui borrowed a huge debt, and needs to repay about $200 million a year. $200 million may seem like a lot, but it's not a lot of pressure:

Of that $100 million can be repaid by the profits of Twentieth Century Fox, with Fang Jianhui's vision and Andy's management, Twentieth Century Fox's profitability has increased significantly, and in 1980, among the top ten films in the global box office, Fox occupied three films, namely "The Sixth Sense" (first), "Star Wars" (second) and "9 to 5" (in theaters, temporarily ranked seventh). According to Andy's projections, the after-tax profit of Twentieth Century Fox in 1980 will reach a record $160 million, and in addition to paying off the $100 million in arrears, there is still room to expand production.

In addition, the global box office of "The Sixth Sense" of 495 million US dollars also brought Fang Jianhui more than 160 million US dollars at the box office, in addition to the 80 million used for the down payment on the Fox TV network, 20 million was also invested as the operating capital of the TV network, 10 million as the funds for the rebuilding of the record distribution of Fox Records, and the remaining about 50 million US dollars were continued to be invested by William on Wall Street to buy Walyards stock. With the addition of his previous investment, Fang Jianhui now owns about 15% of Walma's shares, LB Company's shares of about 20%, and Cheung Kong's shares of about 4%.

Another important reason why Fang Jianhui has no fear, with the current strong profitability of Twentieth Century Fox, he can go public at any time, even if he only takes out one-third of the shares for public sale, it is enough to pay off his debts, and once listed, he, as the major shareholder of Twentieth Century Fox, will immediately become a super-rich man with a market value of billions of dollars. He knows this, and so do the banks and investment banks on Wall Street, so even if he has a lot of debt, if he wants to borrow money, there will still be a lot of people willing to lend him.

Fang Jianhui's industry in Xiangjiang, Angel Pictures also benefited from his insight, and the films invested in were all profitable, and the estimated profit was close to 15 million throughout the year; Angel Cinemas' profit is about 20 million; Angel Distribution is still in the investment stage because of its start-up, with a loss of about 2 million for the whole year; Angel Records is also a loss, with an amount of about 1 million. For the profitable Angel Pictures and Angel Cinemas, Fang Jianhui did not withdraw funds, but invested funds in the construction of studios and post-production centers, or acquired new cinemas to expand the scale of the theater chain.

In terms of women, the number of girlfriends and lovers has not changed this year, two girlfriends and four lovers at the beginning of the year, and there are still so many at the end of the year. Although there are many spare girlfriends and lovers, he is very satisfied with the current situation and is not in a hurry to increase the number of people in the harem.

The number of girlfriend lovers has not increased, but two supernumerary women have been added, one is the life secretary Kuroki Tong, and the other is Shirley Lee who was summoned. These two women, in addition to not being able to increase his faith, were no different from his women in terms of loyalty.

After summarizing Fang Jianhui's personal annual memorabilia, let's take a look at the international situation this year:

On April 24, the Iranian hostage crisis intensified, and the United States, after taking a series of measures such as severing diplomatic relations and economic sanctions, launched an armed raid on this day in an attempt to rescue the hostages by force. Unfortunately, the raid went a catastrophic error, and after losing 8 lives, it failed in disgrace. After this operation, the already tense relations between the United States and Iran have fallen to a new low.

On July 19, the Moscow Olympics, which had been boycotted by Soviet invasions of Afghanistan, began. Of the more than 140 IOC member units, only 81 countries and regions participated in the Games, and 16 of them refused to fly their flags at the opening ceremony. It is worth mentioning that China, Albania and Somalia, which are also socialist countries, also participated in the boycott.

On September 22, Iraqi planes launched air strikes on Tehran, Iran, and other places, and the Iran-Iraq war broke out. In Fang Jianhui's memory, in his previous life, the war was fought for eight years, and the five permanent members of the Security Council were in it, selling weapons on both sides, and making a lot of money.

In this year's China, there were also some far-reaching events:

On May 31, the chief designer affirmed the practice of package production to households in FY County, AH Province.

On August 26, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress approved the decision of the State Council to establish special economic zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen in FJ provinces of GD Province.

On September 25, our party called on a couple to have only one child.

Important events in Hong Kong:

On 12 February, the opening ceremony of Hong Kong's first MTR line, the Kwun Tong Line, was held at Central Station, officiated by Lord Alyssand of the British Royal Family. So far, the early MTR correction system - the section from Kwun Tong to Central has been fully opened to traffic.

On July 7, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was established.

On August 27, the Hong Kong Elizabeth Stadium officially opened with 3,600 seats. It has become the largest performing arts venue in Hong Kong.

In the new year (1981), the most direct impact on Fang Jianhui was that Xiangjiang's movie ticket prices rose again, from 8 yuan last year to 10 yuan.

"Mr. Fang! General Manager Wu is here. Bai Annie pushed the door and let Wu Diming in, and Fang Jianhui, who was pondering, came back to his senses.

"Uncle Wu, sit." Fang Jianhui stood up and led Wu Diming to the small reception room.

"Jianhui, there is such a thing, I think we can do it, I want to ask your opinion." Wu Diming was not polite to him, and went straight to the point. Fang Jianhui has achieved a great career step by step in two years, and he is really happy for his old friend's successor.

"Oh, what's the matter, Uncle Wu thinks it's okay, it should be fine."

"That's right, I heard the news that our Heung Kong's Li's TV station, its majority shareholder in the UK, Li's Voice Group, seems to have a business problem, and is now planning to sell its shares in Li's TV station to raise money. If that's true, I think we can buy it off. Wu Diming said: "When the time comes, just like the Fox Movies and Fox TV Network you got in the United States, there will also be both Angel Pictures and beautiful TV in Xiangjiang, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"How much does it own? What is the approximate market capitalization? "Fang Jianhui is really interested in getting a TV station.

"I inquired, and Li's Voice Group probably accounts for 61.2% of the shares of Li's TV station, with a market value of about 120 million Hong Kong dollars." Wu Diming came prepared.

Although the ratings of Li's TV station have been suppressed by wireless and continue to lose money, there is a TV station that does have a lot of benefits, not to mention anything else, as long as it can give his women more exposure, it will be worth it for Jianhui.

"Uncle Wu, your idea is very good, I completely agree with it." Fang Jianhui said: "That's it, Uncle Wu, you can start this matter immediately, I will let William from the United States come over to assist you, he is more experienced in corporate mergers and acquisitions and financing." ”

"I'll help William." Wu Diming understands in his heart that this William is not only 'more experienced', but also the world's top investment expert.
