After sleeping for a whole morning, Shao Shuaijun got up to eat, today is the first day of the official release, and when the box office statistics in the evening come out, Shao Shuaijun and others will leave for China to carry out publicity in the mainland. Wang Zhonglei is always busy with entertainment, so Shao Shuaijun, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei, and a Lionsgate staff member hang out in Santa Monica.

Santa Monica is California's most attractive coastal city, especially the beaches along the coast, making it a great place to visit during the summer months. It's a pity that the weather is still a little cool, and the beach is not open to the public, so they can only walk around the streets of the city a few times. A small city like this in the United States, not much bigger than a small town in China, can be visited in one afternoon.

Driving on the coastal road of the town, watching the blue sea, seabirds flying by from time to time, and the metropolis of Los Angeles across the sea, Shao Shuaijun couldn't help but sigh that the local scenery is really well protected, and there is basically no such dirty and messy phenomenon. In China, Shao Shuaijun has not been to many coastal cities, Haijin is one, and Ludao is also one.

The sea area protection of Haijin City is quite average, but Ludao City is poor, and the sea water is stinky and black. It is said that a railway was built to the island by building a seawall, which blocked the flow of seawater, making it impossible to swallow the silt at sea, and eventually affected the local marine environment.

Fortunately, the city of Ludao has realized this mistake and began to build the Xinglin Bridge to replace the seawall railway.

After a rare day of relaxation, the next day, the box office statistics came out.

Because it was released on April 22, everyone was mentally prepared for the box office, but when the box office on the first day was 7.5 million US dollars, everyone still couldn't stop cheering. A total of 2,000 theaters in North America released "Source Code", and the revenue of a screen reached a high box office of $12,000 based on a ticket of $7.

This kind of data is almost all the kind of data that can only be achieved by blockbusters.

"Wow, not only was it not affected by the earth, but it also won so much box office! Dear Shao, you have once again conquered the American audience. After Rob saw the box office, he shouted excitedly, "Haha, now I can go to major theaters and strive to reach 2,800 theaters next week!" ”

"Xiao Shao is our God of Wealth, Rob, he will make more movies that conquer Hollywood!" Wang Zhonglei shouted that from the preliminary trial of "Buried Alive" to the release of "Source Code", Huayi Brothers is looking forward to the North American market more and more. Anyone who has made a little achievement in North America will never forget it, because Lao Mei's money is too easy to make, as long as the movie is made well, the income is more than ten times that of the mainland.

Of course, you have to have the ability to make a movie that meets the appetite of American audiences.

In a good mood, Wang Zhonglei took Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei back to China to continue publicity, while Shao Shuaijun went to Phoenix under the pretext of having something. Lee has set up a company here, a small shell company that currently specializes in the Twilight books.

"Ah Jun, you are finally here, the formalities have been completed, the company has chosen the 18th floor of the Phoenix George Building, and it is still under renovation, this is the company's material, for you." In a café, Li Xiuxiu handed a stack of materials to Shao Shuaijun.

The materials are all about the company's procedures and certificates, Shao Shuaijun opened them casually, and the company's name jumped into his eyes - "Twilight Entertainment Co., Ltd." That's right, the name is very old-fashioned, Shao Shuaijun's idea is very simple, since it is the operation of "Twilight", then it is better to call it Twilight.

I'm too lazy to come up with a domineering name.

Li Xiuxiu is also a wonderful person, Shao Shuaijun said this name, she didn't object, and used it directly. Perhaps, neither of them thinks that this company will become a big company, so naturally there is no need to come up with a cool name.

"The registered capital was the first launch fee for Twilight. Now that "Twilight" is priced at $10, we've sold 1.5 million copies, and we're getting $2.8 million in profits, excluding Phoenix Press and Mel's share. Of that amount, $800,000 was used to rent a house and pay for renovations, so the company's registered capital was $2 million. ”

"Sister Xiuxiu, thank you for your hard work." Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Xiuxiu's somewhat haggard face, and said sincerely, it is really embarrassing and distressed to let a girl fight the world for him outside, "It's still the old rules, I will leave you 10% of the shares, but these shares can only be dividends, not resale." Because I want to wholly own this company, avoid risks and maximize profits for the future "Twilight" series of movies. ”

"It's 10% again, Ah Jun, are you supporting me?"

"Haha, Sister Xiuxiu, if I really plan to support you, are you willing? Okay, there is no place for you in the big room, and the two and three rooms can be considered. ”

"Die! A little kid is starting to learn badly, and I'm still preparing one, two, three, four, or five rooms, don't even think about it! Li Xiuxiu glanced at Shao Shuaijun with contempt, "As a boss, you are really unqualified, how can there be such a generous person who doesn't treat his own money as money?" Shao Shuaijun Studio, you sell your shares casually, and this company also gives away shares casually, do you say you are stupid? ”

Shao Shuaijun laughed: "Sister Xiuxiu, I don't think I'm stupid, what is money?" When you have money, money is some data, and it makes no difference if you have more or less. Take Shao Shuaijun's studio as an example, I can keep all the shares and monopolize it alone, but is it interesting? ”

In Shao Shuaijun's thoughts, in the future film market, high cost is an inevitable trend, high cost means high risk, and only co-production is the way out for films. Shao Shuaijun's studio is too thin, and it can't develop on a large scale if it is even stronger, so it will cast a net to invest in films.

His memory is only nine years away, and if you don't fight for a good movie, you will never be able to win it. Only by dividing the interests and making the cake bigger can we be more in line with our own interests. But he couldn't say it, so he had to say: "I'm a partial student, I only know how to make movies, and maybe I have some eyes to see the direction of investment." But these are not enough, the shares are divided to Huayi Brothers, and even Huayi Brothers is allowed to participate in the investment, the purpose is to use Huayi Brothers' public relations capabilities and distribution capabilities to publicize and win the cinema company to win the film bureau. Giving shares to Sister Xiuxiu is also a fancy to Sister Xiuxiu's ability, hoping to tie you to my studio, work for me for a lifetime, and find an opportunity to support you by the way. ”

"Cut, the box office of the movie has been good recently, so I'm complacent, right, I've become flamboyant, look at you! Go on and why, let me see your vision, and maybe I'll fall under your jeans. ”

"Haha, dividing shares to Xu Yu, Ning Hao, and Huang Bo is optimistic about their future, and there are also some friendship elements. In the mainland's film market, relationships are very important, and everything is inseparable from relationships. I hope that Xu Yu, Ning Hao and Huang Bo can grow into big stars in the entertainment industry while making friends with various forces for me and clearing the obstacles on the road. You also know that I, as a person, can speak well with familiar people, and when I go to a strange occasion, I show off and can't open my mouth. Sister Xiuxiu, am I very far-sighted when I do this? ”

"It's average, although I don't have a delicate heart, but I'm not a wooden person." Li Xiuxiu responded nonchalantly, "However, you see that the problem is still a little simple, the shares are not distributed like this, this person has a short-sighted surname." In the case of getting something for nothing, you will only want to get more, and you will not think about what you should do. Sooner or later, you're going to suffer! ”

"How come, the market and shares are all divided, and making money together is the king, where is there so much fighting."

"Well, I think you'd better concentrate on making movies."

“……”

Shao Shuaijun was speechless, the way he had thought about running the company for a long time was ignored by Li Xiuxiu.
