Chapter 523 Unexpected Encounter

The box office of "Terminator 2" in Hong Kong theaters is soaring, and more and more theaters have joined the ranks of screenings. Hong Kong people, who originally like to watch movies, are also applauded by it, although there are some nitpicking, but they are completely drowned in the good voice.

There is a movie theater on the bustling street of Central in Hong Kong, and there is a long queue in front of the door, which extends more than 100 meters on the street, and turns into an alley at the end.

"It's only been a few days, and it is said that the total box office has exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and looking at the momentum of this growth, I am afraid that 50 million Hong Kong dollars will not be able to stop it when it comes to the next level. The young man who was with Tong Tong looked at the long queue in front of the movie theater and sighed softly.

"Hmph, that Yu Qiuxuan is really capable, in such a short period of time, Kumho Film Company has actually entered the ranks of first-class film companies in Hong Kong" Tong Tong frowned and said, "Luo Ning, you say, if this "Terminator 2" enters mainland theaters, how much box office revenue can it have?"

The young man known as Luo Ning spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Sister Tong, you are embarrassed by the box office of our country's movie, when did you have an accurate number." And how many screening spots there are in various places, and what the ticket price is, who can know?"

"What about the National Bureau of Statistics? Aren't there a group of people in the Film Bureau who are in charge of this? They don't even know how much domestic film box office a year is, how do they carry out their work?" Tong Tong asked puzzled. Although her father is the deputy director of the Film Administration and has the power of life and death, she doesn't know much about this part.

"National Bureau of Statistics, those guys might as well be called the National Water Injection Bureau, their data is like the water injection pork, it looks good, but in fact the credibility is not high, if you really believe in their statistics, and arrange the work according to that, it will only make a mess of the work" Luo Ning pouted, "As for those people in the Film Bureau, they are all idlers who just take money and don't do things, and the film work of such a big country, if it all depends on them, it will be over."

"So what is the film market in our country like now? Luo Ning, tell me. Tong Tong said.

Luo Ning clicked his lips and said, "What do you say......"

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of the Chinese film market was still quite good, and a number of good movies emerged, but with the entry of the ten-year Cultural Revolution, the development of the film industry suffered a serious setback. Originally, in China, there was no room for freedom in films, and the film industry was uniformly budgeted and allocated by the state, strictly limiting the theme, content, quantity, and specifications of the film, and then handing it over to the studio to complete the shooting task. Zuihou is responsible for the acquisition of films by China Film Company, the general agent of national distribution and screening, and then distributed them to various units in various provinces, cities and counties for distribution and screening. The strictness of the discipline can be imagined. In the Cultural Revolution, it reached its peak, and the model drama film with particularly serious dogmatism was a specific product of that period. Because the model drama reflected the life of modern workers, peasants and soldiers in the form of traditional drama, it was called "proletarian new literature and art".

"I know, 800 million people and eight plays" Tong Tong pouted, "It's all about educating people, it's okay to watch it occasionally, it can disgust you if you watch too much"

"Yes, it seems unimaginable now, at that time, old excellent films could not be screened, and it was not difficult for new scripts to be allowed to shoot, and in those years, less than 100 films were shot in China, but Hong Kong was hundreds of films a year at that time. Luo Ning shook his head again and again, "After the reform and opening up, everyone's life has improved, with the gradual popularization of the video industry, song halls, and television, the cultural life of the masses has become more and more colorful, and there are no good movies, and there are fewer people who go to the cinema to watch movies." Although I don't know the exact number, but the film market in our country has not been as good as a year in recent years, otherwise, how can those places that rent videotapes be all Hong Kong films and European and American films?"

Tong Tong also sighed, if only the Chinese film market was as prosperous as the Hong Kong film market, the power in his father's hands would be even greater A movie is tens of millions of yuan at the box office, and if you shoot dozens of films, it will be tens of billions, billions of billions, and she will be excited when she thinks about it

"Luo Ning, if you don't even know the specific number of movie theaters in China, how can this Kumho Film Company and the mainland calculate this income?" Tong Tong was a little strange.

"It's not a direct deal with China Film Company, they directly sell copies to China Film Company, and then China Film Company organizes movie theaters around China to release them. I heard that the sales are not high, it seems that it has only sold 30 million yuan in the country, and it is only 32 million when it catches "Terminator". As for how much Huaying Company can collect, it is not up to them. Luo Ning sighed and said, "Huaying Company has bitten a big piece of fat this time" Before that, he also thought that the people of Kumho Film Company were crazy about money, and they dared to offer such a high price, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Tong Tong also feels the same way, how big is Hong Kong, how much population, this box office income may exceed 50 million Hong Kong dollars, converted into * RMB is more than 50 million yuan, and the screening rights of the entire country in China only cost 30 million yuan, which is too cheap and she has also watched "Terminator 2", and she is sure that "Terminator 2" is sought after in the Chinese film market.

"Miss Tong, Mr. Luo, walk a hundred meters further from here is the most famous Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and Gold Store in Hong Kong" A young man in his twenties walked over from the side, speaking in a somewhat strange Mandarin, "Chow Tai Fook Jewellery & Gold Shop, which has a history of more than 80 years, is the one in our Hong Kong jewellery industry," he said, stretching out his thumb.

"Li Shao, I'm bothering you this time," Luo Ning said with a smile.

Li Shao, Li Zhiwei, is the third son of Li Wenjie, a major shareholder of Changhong Trading Group Co., Ltd., a listed company in Hong Kong. In recent years, due to the increasing price of labor and land in Hong Kong, many factories have moved to the Pearl River Delta region in the mainland.

This Luo Ning is a section chief of the Development and Reform Commission of a neighboring province, although it sounds like a low position, but considering his age and department, and more importantly, his family background, Li Zhiwei does not dare to underestimate him at all. If Changhong Trading Group Co., Ltd. wants to achieve stable development in the Pearl River Delta region, it is indispensable to make good friends with the real power figures in the province. At home, Li Wenjie has mentioned more than once that the future development direction of Changhong Trading Group Company is domestic, and if you want to gain a foothold in China, you must find several allies in the domestic officialdom. So after Luo Ning came to Hong Kong, Li Zhiwei did his best to take care of him. No, today Luo Ning proposed to go to a well-known jewelry store in Hong Kong, and Li Zhiwei drove to accompany them.

"Where, where, when Luo Gongzi came to Hong Kong, he was my Li family's honored guest, of course I want to be a landlord," Li Zhiwei said with a smile.

The three of them walked along the street towards Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Gold, and Li Zhiwei also noticed the long queue at the cinema on the side of the street, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Li Shao, it seems that you Hong Kong people like to watch movies very much?" Tong Tong suddenly asked.

"Uh, haha, Miss Tong is right, movies can be said to be an indispensable part of our lives in Hong Kong. However, it is not very common to see such a lively scene as today. It seems that "Terminator 2" has great hope of entering the top three at the box office this year. Li Zhiwei glanced at Tong Tong, he was still confused about her origin, Luo Ning did not mention Tong Tong's origin, but the person who could make Luo Ning shout "sister", Li Zhiwei naturally would not offend.

"I heard...... Huh?" Tong Tong pointed to the few people who were getting out of the car in front of him, and said in surprise, "Luo Ning, look at those people, are they the people who bumped into the door of the "Terminator 2" theater that day?"

Luo Ning looked in the direction of her finger, squinted her eyes for a long time and said, "Sister Tong, you are wrong, I don't think it's like it"

"Huh, isn't it?" Tong Tong immediately quickened his pace.

"This is Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Gold Store?" Fang Mingyuan looked at the magnificent shops on the street. He is no stranger to Chow Tai Fook, although he has not bought anything a few times, but every time he goes to Xidan Street in the capital, he can see its signboard in the most conspicuous place. At that time, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Limited had become the largest importer of diamonds in Hong Kong, accounting for about 30% of the city's annual diamond imports. Dr. Cheng Yu-tung has also been described by jewellery industry experts as the 'jewellery king' of Southeast Asia. Its first 999.9 pure gold jewellery is set as the fineness standard for gold jewellery in Hong Kong in the Hong Kong government's gold products legislation. The market has also equated Chow Tai Fook's gold with quality assurance, and has become the preferred brand for domestic consumers looking for gold jewellery.

"How's it going? There are a wide variety of goods sold here, with novel and unique styles and great taste, including 999.9 pure gold jewelry, diamonds, precious stones, jade, South Sea pearls, Japanese pearl jewelry, etc., as well as the most popular K gold jewelry in Italy, and also acting as an agent for shijie famous brand clocks. Mingyuan, if you want to buy jewelry, watches and other things, this is the perfect place. Fang Bin said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand, and everyone stepped into the store.

As soon as they entered the door, Zhao Ya and the others were dazzled by the jewelry and jewelry in the store, and they were curious about everything.

"Sister Lian, you take them to see if there is anything you like, and my uncle and I will go and take a look at the watch."
