Chapter 216: The Lost Summer File

The month-long acquisition is finally over, Yahoo Inc. with 1.2 billion US dollars in cash plus Alibaba's 40% stake in the acquisition of BE transaction did not disclose the transaction amount, a small number of Yahoo and BE executives who know the specific transaction also agreed to keep it secret at the request of Lin Yuquan, but even so, Yahoo's acquisition of BE still caused great repercussions in the United States, Yahoo's own influence is one of the world's No. 1 video website The name is not covered, The effect of the combination of the two instantly attracted the attention of people in the financial and technological circles.

As the boss of BE, Lin Yuquan has naturally become the central figure of the acquisition storm, in fact, his identity as the boss of BE has long been exposed by the media, and this matter cannot be hidden The two videos with the highest clicks on BE are the boxing videos he uploaded when BE was online, it is not difficult for people to guess the extraordinary relationship between him and BE, and the employees of BE know his boss identity, because the identity of his boss has been circulating in a small circle a long time ago, as long as the media has the intention to verify, It's not hard to know this.

However, in the past, media reporters mainly reported Lin Yuquan's news in movies, and the fact that he was the boss of be was only mentioned once or twice in passing, and it did not cause much repercussions, which is similar to his situation in China, and the media almost all knew that he was the boss of Shuguang.com, but except for when Shuguang was launched, no one would usually report it, because there was no news.

But this time it's different, Internet giant Yahoo's acquisition of the world's No. 1 video website BE is blockbuster news from any point of view. And since it is reporting on this blockbuster acquisition, how can it be missing Lin Yuquan, the BE boss.

Fortunately, the transaction amount was not disclosed, otherwise the media reports would not know what the madness would have become. With a whopping $3.3 billion, this should be the number one acquisition deal in the world. What is even crazier than this is that the 23-year-old Lin Yuquan has a wealth of more than 30 billion US dollars in one fell swoop, what a crazy thing, you must know that in last year's Forbes China Rich List, Rong Zhijian, the richest man in the mainland, is only 1.64 billion US dollars, even if it is the Forbes Global Rich List, this wealth is enough to rank among the 200 or so.

And even if the specific transaction amount is not disclosed, Lin Yuquan's wealth has become a topic that is happy to chase in media reports, but it is the world's No. 1 video website. The acquisition of such a website is not a matter of several hundred million dollars, and although it is not clear what Lin Yuquan's stake in the BE is, the income obtained by it must not be a small amount.

Fortunately, there is a lack of substantial numbers, so Lin Yuquan's life has not been affected much, and after reaching an acquisition deal, after returning to Kyoto from the United States, due to the long delay before, in the face of the angry Jiang Li, he knew that he was at a loss, so he stayed in the actor's special training class to study wholeheartedly and improve his acting skills. During this period, the lively summer file is gradually coming to an end.

For the global summer file, this summer file is undoubtedly lively. A series of Hollywood blockbusters with huge investment and star-studded stars are coming strongly, bringing people the ultimate visual effects enjoyment, and the N-strong battle for the king of the annual box office is even more addictive to watch.

This year's summer box office war was unveiled from "Mission Impossible 3", on May 5, "Mission Impossible 3", which was released on the scale of 4054 theaters in Hollywood history, won the North American box office champion of the week with a box office of $48 million, although the start was slightly shabby, but with Brother Liangtang's personal charm and the influence of the "Mission Impossible" series, it finally closed $133.5 million at the North American box office and $397.1 million at the global box office.

Immediately after May 19th, by Tom Murphy. Hanks, Audrey. Starring Tatu and others. Adapted from American writer Dan. Brown's best-selling novel of the same name, The Da Vinci Code, made the summer season even more lively, with a first-week box office of $77 million. Compared with "Mission Impossible 3", the box office is much more gratifying. Although after the release. The film is controversial and has received a lot of negative reviews, but the influence of the novel with 40 million readers is not covered, after more than two months of release, the film finally got a more dazzling box office result than "Mission Impossible 3", with a North American box office of $217.5 million and a global box office of $770.7 million. You can't expect every movie to be a hit and a hit.

And next week's May 26th, it was the turn of the high-profile "X-Men 3" debuted, compared with the first two parts of the 54 million, 85 million first weekend box office, "X-Men 3" with a surprising result of 107 million US dollars, achieved a box office explosion in the opening weekend, and received a lot of praise, a new story, familiar faces, plus hot action scenes and dazzling computer stunts, with a good reputation, "X-Men 3" has always maintained a good box office trend in the following weeks, as of the next draw, It grossed $234.4 million in North America and $458.8 million worldwide.

This is only May, and after entering June, more and more Hollywood blockbusters have landed and been released.

On June 2nd, by American sweetheart Jennifer. Aniston, Vince. Vaughn's "Breakup Man and Woman" was released, and although it was not a super blockbuster, this romantic comedy film achieved a surprising box office counterattack, snatching the weekly North American box office champion from the surging "X-Men 3", and finally earning $118.7 million at the North American box office.

On June 9, the animated film "Cars" produced by Pixar was released in 3,985 theaters, earning $62 million at the box office in its first weekend, and then topped the North American box office again the following week, not only in the United States, but also overseas The film was also popular with parents and children, and finally the film's North American box office reached a new high, surpassing the previous "X-Men 3" and "The Da Vinci Code", reaching $244 million, and the global box office was also $461 million.

June 23rd, by Adam. Sandler and Kate. Beckinsale's co-starring comedy film "Remote Control of Life" hit the screen, earning a total of $40 million in 3,749 theaters in North America on its first three days. stopped the triple hegemony of "Cars", and as of the end of the painting, it received $137 million at the North American box office.

June 28th. Another super blockbuster is coming, that is, "Superman Returns", which has an investment of up to $350 million. However, compared with the high investment, the box office of this film is not too ideal, the box office in the first week is only 52 million US dollars, and it suffered a fiasco overseas, and finally 200 million US dollars in North America and 391 million US dollars in the global box office.

"The Queen Wears Pudara", which was released on 6.30, is very likely to be the biggest box office dark horse of the year. When the film was released, it was actually not favored at all, and how many people loved to watch the film about the life of the fashion circle, but things were often unexpected, and the female audience exploded with amazing enthusiasm for watching the movie, not to mention the North American box office of $27 million in the first week, and then it became more and more courageous, and finally the North American box office was $124.7 million, and the global box office was $317 million.

If "The Queen Wears Pudara" brought an accident, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Coffin", which was released on July 7, made everyone jaw-dropping. The first episode of the previous "Pirates of the Caribbean" was a big dark horse in the summer of 2003, setting a good result of $305 million at the North American box office. It also made Captain Jack, who is more bewitching than a woman, one of the few classic screen images in the neutral aesthetic trend of the new century, and became popular all over the world.

Before the film's release, almost everyone was optimistic that the film would get a very high box office. However, no one expected the film to be so impressive at the box office. $55.5 million on the opening day and $132 million in three days, this is the opening weekend result of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin", and in the next box office journey, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" completely played the role of a rescue work, and Shun LĂŹ achieved three consecutive hegemony.

Not only in North America, but Captain Jack also set off a trend of movie-watching overseas, and as of the end of North America, it has received a very strong North American box office of $423.3 million. That's almost twice as many as "Cars," the second-most so far this year, if there are no surprises. It should be the annual box office champion in North America. Overseas, the film continues to be released. It is expected that the global box office will eventually exceed $1 billion, becoming the third billion club member after "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

At this time, the box office war of the king of the box office of the year has basically come to a conclusion, the only pity is that such an amazing film is very likely to be released in the mainland, earlier "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" was not approved because of the review, and it was rumored that it would be postponed to August in China, but by August, the problem of film review was still not solved, and there was not even a definite reply.

Due to the need to avoid the edge of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin", the major film companies did not arrange any super blockbuster releases in the next few weeks in July, "Newlywed Oak", "Monster House", and "Miami Vice" are the better of the new films released, and finally won 75.6 million, 73.66 million, and 63.45 million North American box office respectively.

And in August, although the situation was slightly better, there was no new* film like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin".

Looking at China again, "The Da Vinci Code", "King Kong", "Mission Impossible 3", "Superman Returns", "Garfield 2: Two Cats", one after another Hollywood blockbusters have captured the summer file like no one, among which "The Da Vinci Code" and "King Kong" have achieved box office results of more than 100 million. On the whole, this summer file is extremely lively and exciting, but the situation of domestic movies or Chinese films is particularly bleak, and the best is "Dragon Tiger Gate" starring Zhen Zidan, Nicholas Tse, Li Xiaoran and others, but the box office is only 49 million, which is dwarfed in front of many Hollywood blockbusters, and it is really not amazing.

Although fans only care about the difference between good movies and bad movies, and don't care too much about whether it's Hollywood or domestic, as long as it's a Chinese person, deep down, I'm afraid everyone wants to see domestic movies in the limelight, and filmmakers and media reporters are even more so.

When will there be a good domestic movie, people who don't know may ask, and those who know have set their sights on the upcoming September.

On September 1, "Tokyo Trial" directed by Gao Qunshu, one of the four highest-grossing directors of Chinese TV dramas, is coming, this film brings together Liu Songren, Zhu Xiaotian, Lin Xilei and other stars, and tells the difficult trial process of 28 Japanese war criminals at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo in 1946, which has a strong anti-fascist significance.

The next September 14 will be released by Feng Xiaogang "Night Banquet", Feng Xiaogang's golden sign alone is enough to make people have a strong desire to watch the movie, not to mention that this film also brings together Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Zhou Xun, Wu Yanzu, Huang Xiaoming and other strong star lineups, and has Yuan Heping, Tan Dun, Ye Jintian, Sheng Heyu, Zhang Li, a group of world-class behind-the-scenes teams.

And at the end of the month, it is even more lively, on September 28th, Cheng Long's new movie "Baby Plan" will be released, this movie is directed by Chen Musheng, in addition to the eldest brother, there are Gu Tianle, Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Guanwen, Chen Baoguo and other stars to join, telling the story of Cheng Long, Gu Tianle, Xu Guanwen played by the bandit trio with a little baby A series of spitting oolong scenes, very funny, very happy.

And also on September 28th, there is one of the most anticipated movies, that is, this year's most watched Lin Yuquan's new work "Painted Skin", Li Lianjie's sky-high salary of 100 million, adapted from "Painted Skin" in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", an unprecedented special effects cost of 16 million US dollars in the Chinese film industry, "Painted Skin" has already made people itch unconsciously before they know it. What's more, there is the most important reason, because this movie is directed by Lin Yuquan, after experiencing "Huo Yuanjia" and "Red Cliff", if you want to say that the director with the most box office appeal in the Chinese film industry now, I am afraid it must be Lin Yuquan, and the movies he directed alone make fans impatient.

Four Chinese eye-catching movies, three large-scale productions of over 100 million yuan, including Lin Yuquan, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Musheng, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Gu Tianle, Xu Guanwen, Chen Baoguo and other celebrities, it is really a crazy September, it is crazy enough to think about it.

As the time approaches September day by day, all fans, filmmakers, and media reporters have the same voice in their hearts, this is the land of China, and it is time for Hollywood blockbusters to see the power of our Chinese films. (To be continued)
