"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

After arriving in Kyoto and sending the second daughter home, Lin Yuquan returned to Rongcheng directly without any delay.

"It's good to come back, let my mother see if she's thin, it's okay, it's not thin, even if you're busy working outside, you have to remember to take care of yourself." In the eyes of parents, children will never grow up, Mother Lin looked at Lin Yuquan carefully with a smile on her face, and her eyes gradually became clouded with a layer of fog.

"Mom, I know, you and my dad also remember to take care of your health." Lin Yuquan also couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, and his eyes became moist.

"Of course your mother and I know, we're tired of flying, so sit down and rest." Father Lin wiped his eyes.

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded, put the suitcase aside, and put a bag in his hand on the table, Mom, I didn't buy anything else when I came back this time, so I bought this big crab, and we will eat crabs tonight. ”

In addition to the tight relationship of time, of course, he didn't buy anything for the second elder when he went home for the New Year this time, but he didn't think he didn't need it, but he had already made arrangements.

"Oh, where did you buy such a big crab?" After opening the crisper with ice in the bag, Lin Mu asked in surprise.

"I bought it in San Francisco, USA." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"This crab looks good, I wonder how it tastes?" Father Lin said with a smile.

"Of course it's good!" Lin Yuquan smiled proudly.

On the second day of returning home, the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled, and as in previous years, Lin Yuquan was once again extremely busy on this day, and even though it was the Spring Festival, he could not really be idle, because there were too many things for him to deal with.

"There are 3.15 million paying players in North America, 2.47 million paying players in Europe, 6.02 million paying players in China, and 690,000 paying players in Baodao. There are 760,000 paying players in South Korea and 15.86 million paying players worldwide. ”

Looking at the computer screen, Godgate Game and Dawning Game sent the January operating data. Lin Yuquan had a satisfied smile on his face. Clicking on the financial data again, the smile became more and more intense.

"Timon Games' operating income in January was US$125 million, including online game operating revenue of US$104 million, licensing revenue of US$20.95 million, total operating costs of US$17.68 million, gross profit of US$107 million, and net profit of US$81.56 million. Sugon Games' operating income was 487 million yuan, equivalent to 71.53 million US dollars. Gross profit was $59.54 million and net profit was $35.72 million. ”

The two game companies contributed a total of $117 million in profits in a single month, well, even if he is already worth a lot of money, Lin Yuquan is still amazed by this figure, if it can maintain the level throughout the year, the total profit will reach a staggering $1.4 billion, of course, this is just a beautiful vision, in fact, it is impossible.

On the one hand, it's different from other games. Wild Stories is a game that is almost maximized from the start, with the passage of time. The number of subsequent paying users will definitely decline, on the other hand, according to his plan, Dawning Games and Dimen Games will carry out large-scale acquisitions and game development.

However, even so, there should be no problem with the annual profits of the two companies of hundreds of millions of dollars, and with the support of such a huge amount of funds, even if Huayi Brothers is successfully listed, it will not be able to directly compete with him next year.

Unfortunately, due to the Spring Festival, the acquisition work has been temporarily stopped, and it will not be continued until after the tenth day of the new year, and the layout of the domestic game industry that he has high hopes for will have to wait.

Considering the planning of the global layout of the game industry in the future, Lin Yuquan closed his email and began to make decisions on the affairs of various companies, among which the filming of the works in preparation by Summit Entertainment and Dawning Film is undoubtedly the top priority.

"The Hangover" has successfully invited Hollywood ace comedy director Jay . After Roach directed, everything was ready, just waiting for him to order the start of filming. In addition to the original screenwriter Jon. Lucas, Jay. Roach brought in Todd, who had worked with him on "Borat". Phillips co-authored the script.

The actor was selected by casting Bradley. Cooper, Ed. Helms and other actors, there are no big names among them, but the image and performance fit the script very well. The cinematographer, soundtrack, set designer and other behind-the-scenes creators are all in front of this and Jay. Roach has a partner, with a budget of $48 million, filming starts in mid-February, and the finishing time is mid-April, and it was scheduled to be released at the end of July as early as last year.

"Havoc" was finalized by James. After Gunn became the director, he and two assistant screenwriters completed the script revision, and the male and female lead actors were selected as Channing. Tatum and Jessica. Bell, the former has risen in popularity in recent years because of his appearance in films such as "Dance Out of My Life", and is the best among young Hollywood actors, while the latter has starred in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Blade 3", "My Grand Gay Wedding" and other films. Timberlake's girlfriend became famous.

Although the main creative team behind the film is not top-notch, they are all experienced. Gunn gave a relatively high budget of $60 million within Summit Entertainment, which is expected to start filming in April, end filming in June, and release in April next year.

In terms of other films, "I Have Cancer" is an investment cooperation, and there is no need to worry too much about Summit Entertainment, "Fatal Bend 4" is already being filmed, and the director is still James. Gunn, "Source Code", "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse" and "Wild Story: Hundred Clans" will start preparations one after another.

And Summit Entertainment's first TV series, "Sherlock", which tells the modern version of Sherlock Holmes, will also be produced this year, and the number one starring role is naturally Benedict. Cumberbatch, the specific production time is uncertain, different broadcast methods have caused a world of difference between Chinese dramas and American dramas in terms of production methods, Chinese dramas are generally promoted to TV stations by film and television companies after the filming of the drama is completed, if it is a popular drama, then it has been robbed by the TV station before the start or during the filming process, but American dramas are not, in the United States. The first is that professional screenwriters go to TV companies with a synopsis of the story to sell it. The TV company thinks it's okay to be creative. If the TV station thinks it's okay, it will ask the TV company to provide the full script, and once the TV station approves the script, it will start to produce a 1-3 episode of the first episode, and if the first episode is well received, OK. At this time, the TV station will officially sign a production contract with the production team formed by the TV company for one season, and the American drama that the audience usually sees is finally released.

The current situation is that the outline of "Sherlock" has passed the review of CBS TV, and the complete script is being created in full swing, and when the script is completed, once the quality of the script is up to standard, the first episode will be produced, and if the response is good, the first season production contract signed with CBS has been obtained, and then the production of "Sherlock" has officially begun.

Dawn films. First of all, in terms of movies, the script revisions of the two films "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "People in Embarrassment" have been completed day by day. Among them, the former has not determined the release time, and the latter is scheduled to be released in this year's New Year, "Du Lala's Promotion", "Gentleman's Makeover" and "The Piano of Steel" will start to form the crew after the year, and the release time is to be determined, as for his own "Immortal", it will also be fully formed after the year, but the release time is basically determined in early December.

In addition, in terms of TV dramas, dramas including "New Three Kingdoms", "Borrowed Gun", "Snail House", "Daughter-in-law's Beautiful Era", "Tie Pear Flower", "My Brother is Shunyu", "Love Defense War", "Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Step by Step Shocking" and other dramas will start filming from the end of the year.

Because he is in the Oscar season, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes" is a popular relationship for major awards, Lin Yuquan naturally can't stay at home this Spring Festival, when the time comes to the third day of the new year on February 8, he has to fly to London, but he is not alone, Lin's father and Lin mother are also with him, in the past year, he has hardly accompanied the second elder, and then until the Oscar ceremony, in addition to attending the major award ceremonies, he will accompany the second elder on vacation.

I went to London to participate in the 62nd British Academy Film Awards held on the evening of February 8, London time, which is the highest annual recognition in the field of film and television, also known as the British Oscars.

Initially, the British Oscars mainly recognized British films and foreign films starring British actors, but since then the rules have become more and more open, and as long as the film released in the UK is eligible for nomination, it has truly become an international award.

As the annual box office champion in the UK last year, and now the Oscar favorite, "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Apes" naturally performed eye-catching at the British Oscars, and in the previously announced list of Oscar nominations, a total of nine nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay were included. Serkis was a British man of his own who eventually led to the British Oscar being given to Andy. Serkis's superb performance is an affirmation.

This is also his first time attending the British Oscars, not that he has not received any nominations before, in fact, he has been nominated for the British Oscars almost every year, and has also won several awards including Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design.

In fact, it's not just him, such as Steven. Spielberg, Peter. Jackson and others, if they are not shortlisted for major awards and have a high probability of winning awards, who will go all the way to make such a trip, unlike actors, directors do not need media exposure, and the authority of the British Oscars is not too high in international awards.

After having lunch with Lin's father and mother, and shopping around Regent Street, Oxford Street and Bond Street, the busiest shopping streets in London, and sending the second elder back to the hotel, Lin Yuquan went to the Royal Theatre in London, where the British Oscars were held.

Because "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" is the favorite to win the award, and Lin Yuquan attended in person, this year's British Oscars have undoubtedly attracted the attention of the media in the Chinese cross-strait and three places.

Prior to this, Li Yu had achieved great success at the British Oscars three times, and could be called the darling of the British Oscars, once in 1996 at the 49th, "Sense and Sensibility" won the best picture, best actress, and best supporting actress three awards in one fell swoop, beating "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13" to become the biggest winner of the awards ceremony. The first was in the 54th session in 2001, when Li Yu won the best director, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best foreign language film, and Tan Dun and Tim Yip also won the best music and best costume design awards respectively. Another time was the 59th in 2006, when "Brokeback Mountain" won four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Therefore, it is very much exciting to look forward to what kind of results "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", which has been shortlisted for nine nominations, will finally achieve.

Of course, it is also very worrying to look forward to it, as an independent award, the British Oscar and Oscar awards are not only not high, but extremely low, such as the 48th in 1995, the Oscar won a big victory in "Forrest Gump" only won an almost consoling Best Special Visual Effects Award, such as the 51st in 1998, the "Titanic" that swept the Oscars did not receive anything, such as the 52nd in 1999, "Saving Private Ryan" He only won two awards for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects, and since then, Steven. There are too many examples of Spielberg never attending the British Oscars, and many times, the Oscar popularity is not necessarily a good thing in the British Oscars.

In addition, the local bias of the British Oscars is always so obvious, and to Lin Yuquan's disadvantage, the biggest competitor Danny. Bauer happens to be British.

"The winner of the Best Director Award at the 62nd BAFTA Awards"

In the star-studded Royal Theatre, the awards ceremony has reached the penultimate award, and it is also the high-profile award of this year's British Oscars.

"Danny. Bauer, Slumdog Millionaire. ”

"Wow!" On British soil, Danny. Naturally, Bauer's award was met with deafening cheers, applause, and screams.

While smiling and applauding, Lin Yuquan shook his head slightly, so far, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" has only won one Best Visual Effects Award, which is also the third time that his film has won this award after "Red Cliff" and "Hurricane Rescue".

However, Lin Yuquan was not disappointed, after reading the list of previous winners, he was mentally prepared, in fact, the main purpose of going abroad this time was also to accompany the second elder on vacation.

The awards ceremony continued, and the best British film went to "The Tightrope Walker", which was also the biggest favorite for this year's Academy Award for Best Documentary.

At this point, the award ceremony finally ushered in the final award.

"The winner of Best Film at the 62nd BAFTA Awards was Slumdog Millionaire."

As the words of the awarding guests fell, more and more applause, cheers, and screams rang out.

Lin Yuquan smiled again and shook his head, Okay, it seems that he can also learn from Steven. Spielberg will not come to London to participate in this boring chicken rib award in the future.

After the British Oscars ceremony, he accompanied the second elder in London for a day, and then he and the second elder flew directly to Belle Island in the Bahamas, before that, this luxury private island with a price tag of $120 million has been successfully bought by him for $100 million, although the formalities will take some time, but this small island is already his own.

In addition to accompanying the second elder on vacation, Lin Yuquan's busyness has never stopped, and when the time comes to February 14, he has become even busier, on the one hand, he must fly to Los Angeles to attend a series of award ceremonies, on the other hand, as domestic companies officially go to work after the year, while the acquisition work continues to advance, the preparations for "Immortal" must be carried out quickly.
