Chapter 524: Heist of the Lost Ark Sells
Early the next morning, Lei Juewen learned from Nova Rester about the box office of the premiere of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" last night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time of the release of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", there were no competitive films, so "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which premiered on 2041 screens, received a box office of $2.486 million, and the attendance rate was as high as 70%.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is fortunately distributed by United Pictures, as one of the eight major Hollywood companies, the theater chain still sells some face, so usually the films released by the eight major films will get more screens, and this premiere of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has received more than 2,000 screens.
The premiere has an attendance rate of more than 70%, and as long as there is no big dive in the future, then the film will be considered a success. However, no one can guarantee whether there will be a big dive in the future, so no one dares to guarantee whether "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will be successful, but the possibility of success is extremely high.
After Lei Juewen learned about the premiere box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he knew that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" should be a success, after all, the original version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was very successful, and now this version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is not inferior to the original, and it will be successful if nothing else, and the benefits brought to him by this film will be hundreds of millions of dollars.
In the afternoon, Rejuvenyonova Lester had dinner with her and handed over the acquisition of MGM to her.
For MGM's acquisition, Lei Juewen just took a fancy to MGM's film library, among the eight Hollywood majors, MGM's film library is the most abundant and valuable, not to mention Lei Juewen's concern, even the other six of the eight are also concerned, but whether there is money to acquire it is another matter.
Lei Juewen's attitude towards MGM's acquisition was not resolute, because he knew that Corklian was also a rich man, and if the other party was unwilling to sell, he would not be able to buy it unless he offered a very high price. If the price is too high, it is not cost-effective, and it is better to invest in other industries than to buy MGM.
In fact, in the final analysis, Lei Juewen's funds are still insufficient, otherwise he would have directly acquired a TV station, because he knows that for a media group, a TV station is indispensable, and it is true that he has a TV station on Hong Kong Island, but it will not affect the United States here, to put it mildly, the United States is the economic center of the world, and having a TV station in the United States is more important than having ten TV stations on Hong Kong Island.
The acquisition of a TV station requires a large amount of money, and Lei Juewen's current funds are not enough to acquire it, and he can make it up to the end, but in that case, the development of his other industries will be affected, which he does not want, so he would rather buy the TV station in a year or two later.
Lei Juewen did not stay in the United States for long, and after staying for two days, he left the United States.
After leaving the United States, this time Lei Juewen did not go to France again, but asked Sophie Marceau to go back by himself, and he went back to Hong Kong Island alone. Sophie Marceau was naturally reluctant, but was persuaded by Lei Juewen to give her time to go to Hong Kong Island to find him, or he had time to go to Paris to find her.
Back on Hong Kong Island, Lei Juewen learned from the forestry that the clothing company and hotel under his name were blocked, but these two places are the smallest of Lei Juewen's industries, so they are just a trivial matter, so he waited until Lei Juewen came back to talk to him, and Lei Juewen didn't care after hearing it, let the forestry handle it by itself, and continue to block the industry under the name of the Guo family.
The day after returning to Hong Kong Island, Lei Juewen was invited by the three giants of Xinyi City to participate in the celebration banquet of the second part of the best partner. The second part of the best partner was released four days ago, and the evening price of the premiere was 363,000 Hong Kong dollars, the second day was 867,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the third day was 934,000 Hong Kong dollars.
After a year of development, the light curtain cinema line currently has more cinemas than last year, with a total of 32 cinemas, of which there are six leading cinemas, which can be said to be the first cinema line on Hong Kong Island, which is not unrelated to Lei Juewen's strong support from funds and real estate. And with the increase in the number of theaters and the increase in ticket prices, the box office of the same film will naturally be higher.
Judging from the current trend of the second part of the best partner, there should be no big problem for its box office to exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to reach 25 million Hong Kong dollars, as for 30 million Hong Kong dollars, it should be impossible, after all, the current ticket price is still lower, and it is difficult for a film to charge 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
The celebration banquet is in a hotel under Lei Juewen's name, which has become a practice, and now whether it is light screen film and television, Xinyi City or ATV, there will be a celebration banquet in the hotel under Lei Juewen's name, but the hotel where the celebration banquet is located may be different.
Since it is a celebration banquet, the actors who participated in the film naturally came, Xu Guangjie, Zhang Aijia, Kurata Baozhao and others all came.
The celebration banquet held by the new art city is different from the celebration banquet held by the light screen film and television, the celebration banquet held by the light screen film and television was divided into the director's box office at the beginning, so the celebration banquet of the light screen film and television was held after the film was released, and the celebration banquet of the new art city did not issue the step of sharing the box office red envelopes, and it was directly to eat and drink.
"Mr. Lei, I've read all the newspapers, Raiders of the Lost Ark's results are so good, congratulations on another movie hit."
When a few people were drinking, Mecca found an opportunity to toast Lei Juewen with a glass of wine, and congratulated him.
Lei Juewen raised his glass and touched Mecca, and said with a smile: "The best partner is a big seller, and you make a lot of money." ”
"You can't compare with Mr. Lei."
Mecca waved her hand and told the truth. The second part of the best partner is a big seller, yes, but with his shares, he will earn 20 million Hong Kong dollars at most, which is not comparable with the benefits that Raiders of the Lost Ark brought to Lei Juewen, which is at least hundreds of millions of dollars, which is dozens of times his earning.
Lei Juewen smiled and said: "You don't need to compare with me, at least you earn more than those office workers, don't you say?" ”
"That's that!"
Mecca nodded, and then changed the conversation and said: "Mr. Lei, Sanmao and you have established a company together, I want to ask, in the future, in the distribution of the film schedule..."
Lei Juewen waved his hand and said: "You can negotiate with Li Chaosheng about this matter, I don't care about this, I believe he will arrange it, if you are still not satisfied by then, you can come to me together." ”
"Okay, I got it!"
Mecca nodded to show that she understood, as long as Lei Juewen was not partial to the company he formed with Hung Jinbao.
For Lei Juewen, both companies are his subsidiaries, and he doesn't need to be biased towards any company, the main thing is to watch the quality of the film, a good film has a good schedule, and for ordinary films, the schedule will naturally be slightly worse, after all, it is a fool not to make money.
