257.Chapter 257: Jealousy
"Zhang, that's crazy! It's crazy! In two months, we have accumulated 1 million registered users! The average daily active IP is between 200,000 and 300,000 per capita! ”
Mark's voice came from the phone, Zhang Heng snapped, pressed the pencil in his hand, and nodded after a while: "Okay, the development trend is good, but Mark, you have to remember that you must adhere to the path of sustainable development, and you must be cautious and careful before doing anything." Also, as last time, you don't have to rush to do the Chinese version of Facebook. Well...... Now it's inconvenient for me to go to the United States, Mark, you can help me look up the information of three people in the Facebook IP database. ”
"Oh, who?" Mark was a little confused.
Although Facebook's influence is expanding day by day, Mark still can't believe that Zhang Heng would let him help find someone?
This is an illegal action to steal users**, and if it is known by the authorities, the traffic that Facebook has managed to gain will be wasted in an instant.
"Three men, named Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, and Liz Stone, all three are slightly proficient in computers." Zhang Heng smiled bitterly: "At present, I only have these, and other information is vacant." ”
Mark was silent, and his voice was lowered: "Zhang, I can use the IP library to find the information of these three people for you, but you have to promise me that you have to keep this matter secret, otherwise, our Facebook will be finished soon." ”
Zhang Heng nodded and agreed.
The United States is a country that pays attention to human rights, and once this kind of human rights violation is exposed, it is not just a matter of Facebook playing out, but Mark and himself will receive countless lawyer's letters and court leaflets.
According to Zhang Heng's impression, these three people are still working in a technology company in the United States, working from 9 to 5, living a muddy life, as if they have not become the next billionaire.
Zhang Heng's original idea was to let Ma Huateng, a domestic OICQ69 book bar technology company, create a microblog with the concept of micro-blog while developing instant messaging software to counter KK chat software.
But in the face of the $10 million acquisition plan, Ma Huateng hesitated and said that he would consider it for a few days.
But more than two months have passed, but there has been no news from the other party, so Zhang Heng chose to give up Ma Huateng and let him fend for himself, and instead asked Mark to find Jack Dorsey, the founder of "Twitter", and others.
The blog era is coming to an end, and a new era is coming, for Xinhai Weibo, which will be popular all over the country in the future, Zhang Heng definitely gives the idea of strangling in the cradle.
He is ready to create his own "Xinhai" Weibo!
Twitter is one such popular social network and microblogging service, which allows users to post their latest news and ideas on the website in the form of text messages from mobile phones, and all Twitter messages will be limited to 140 characters.
According to Zhang Heng's understanding, the Twitter social networking site with omnidirectional global users has become more than 2 in later generations. 500 million netizens, an indispensable social tool when communicating online.
This is an emerging thing in a new era, and Zhang Heng has no reason to choose to push it back.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heng rubbed his brows.
He didn't sleep well in the past two days, firstly, for the purchase of a new company address, the information given by Citibank has been confirmed, and the location is the Fuxing Building in Lujiazui, the golden area.
Fuxing Building is 18 floors high, the topography, surrounding environment, and office scenery all belong to the top area of Yanhai, with convenient transportation, there are buses on the left and right sides of the front and back, and there are two subway lines not far away, which can be used by employees to commute to work.
On the opposite side of the Fuxing Building, is the Oriental Pearl Tower, next to the building, it only takes more than ten minutes to walk, is Zhang Heng's current residence, the emperor of the mountains and rivers!
Zhang Heng is very satisfied with Citibank's service attitude.
As for the specific purchase funds, Zhang Heng didn't know, but he had seen the fax pictures sent by Han Xueqiao, and after handing them over to Ye Hui, Wei Lan and others, they all concluded that the value of this office building was at least worth 2 billion yuan!
Prime location, prime real estate, plus an endless stream of people.
Super hot office location!!
This is destined to be the new address of Nirvana Film and Television, which will be unexpectedly high-quality, and the new place of work will be settled in Fuxing Building, the eighth golden floor from the tenth floor upwards!
In Yanhai, a city where every inch of land is valuable, to be able to buy a house in Lujiazui, basically the head of the household is worth more than 10 million, and to be able to contract an eight-story real estate in a prime location in Lujiazui, the daily rent is definitely more than six figures, which is a tearful figure that can make many house slaves collapse.
Another reason why Zhang Heng couldn't sleep was because "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog" began to be released in North America, Europe and other regions, and the good news was frequent, which caught Zhang Heng off guard.
On a new day, Zhang Heng updated on Facebook: "Happiness comes too quickly, it's quite silly and cute. ”
After "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" was released in Southeast Asia for one month, the total box office was 190 million US dollars, plus the 300 million US dollars Chinese box office that has ended, Zhang Heng's film is definitely making money and making a lot of money, refreshing the previous record! Dominates the overall champion of the Chinese box office history!
Now it has just been released in North America, and its single-week box office has exceeded 130 million US dollars, which has completely exploded the single-week box office of all countries in China and Southeast Asia!
In Europe, the box office was only $30 million, but even so, after more than two months, Zhang Heng successfully won nearly $700 million at the box office with "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko".
This shocked the world.
A movie from China, "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog", is only behind the $820 million "Spider-Man" and the $870 million "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings".
It's incredible!
All foreign filmmakers who pay attention to the box office of movies are speechless.
When did the box office of Chinese movies become so violent?
Today, among the movies released worldwide, the top three are "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", "Spider-Man", and "The Story of Hachiko".
One of the most important points has been noticed by almost all fans.
"The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is not a ...... that will be released simultaneously around the world"
"There are still many countries in Southeast Asia that are still in theaters......"
"North America and Europe have only been released for a week......"
According to the conclusion concluded by fans, the box office of "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog", after the end of cinema screenings in all regions, may approach one billion US dollars!
The potential is limitless!!
You must know that in terms of fan audience, North America is the world's number one fan gathering area!!
"Spider-Man" received 4 in North America. With a box office of $3.7 billion, it became the unprecedented North American box office champion in 2002!
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring received 3 in North America. With a box office of $145, although the North American box office ranking is second only to "Spider-Man", but at the global box office, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is a step ahead of "Spider-Man"!
And now, an even more terrifying existence has appeared!
"The Tale of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" grossed $130 million at the North American box office in just one week of release, and the momentum is so strong that the producers of "Spider-Man" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" tremble.
You must know that the investment cost of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is more than 100 million US dollars, and the production cost of "Spider-Man" is nearly 140 million US dollars!
What about "Hachiko the Loyal Dog"?
The investment is less than 80 million yuan, which is only 10 million when converted into US dollars......
The cost of making a zuò of 10 million dollars, a few months later, turned into a box office of 700 million dollars! Stripping away the share of the theater chain, "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" can at least nearly 300 million US dollars!
Thirty times the rate of return!
And that's not all......
Nima: This box office is not the final point!!
There is even a follow-up and continuous follow-up box office......
Sam Raimi, director of "Spider-Man", and Peter Jackson, director of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", poked their eyes and cried with their heads in their arms......
Now Zhang Heng's funds are very abundant, and the Chinese box office share of "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" has been received, with a box office of 300 million US dollars, the theater side has taken 60% of the proportion, the distributor Yinggu Film and Television Group has taken about 10% of the proportion, and the remaining 30% is about 100 million US dollars.
It sounds like Zhang Heng has very little money, but if you want to earn the box office of fans, you must release it in theaters.
According to the contract, the cinema chain will take 60% of the box office, and the next 40% will be shared by the production company Nirvana Film and Television and the distribution company Yinggu Group.
After Nirvana Film and Television Company has its own cinema line, it has the license to make film and has the right to distribute it, and in the future, the films produced by Nirvana Film and Television will be approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and they will be able to directly invest in the factory to make and produce film films, and after finalizing the screening contract and theater ranking with major theaters across the country, Nirvana Film and Television can distribute the film film produced to major cinemas.
In fact, even if it is exploited layer by layer like this, the box office funds of Nirvana Film and Television can make all filmmakers drool.
10 million US dollars, after being made into a movie, just by being released in China, it changed hands and reaped ten times the benefits!
When Zhang Heng was considering the material for the next movie, his "profiteering method" of constantly accumulating money had been coveted by Duojia Film Company.
Hong Kong, Central, in a super-grand building with a height of 69 floors.
The gold carved yellow decorations, the beautiful lights are sprinkled down, the scarlet carpet, the golden fabric sofas, and the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls are full of luxury.
A short-haired man, sitting on the couch at this time, shaking a glass of red wine, squinting at the large screen hanging on the wall.
On the big screen, various box office index reports on "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" are being played, and the box office of more than 5 billion yuan makes the corners of the short-haired man's eyes jump.
He has been making movies for half his life, coercing and seducing many disobedient stars for many years, but this Zhang Heng has only made a few movies, and he has already earned half of his worth!
He was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, he leaned over and picked up the phone in the tea seat: "Connect the phone number of Director Wang Jing for me." ”
Half an hour later, a panicked voice came from the phone: "Brother Qiang, what's the matter?" ”
"How's the news for you?"
"Brother Qiang, I've already checked Zhang Heng's new movie, but their company's secrecy conditions are too strict, I only know the type of material for his next movie......"
"Go on." The short-haired man crossed his waist with one hand and held the phone with the other, staring directly at Zhang Heng on the big screen with an eagle-like gaze.
The eyelids are beating more and more cheerfully......
"It's a science fiction movie genre."
Wang Jing was a little distressed and said: "It's about the end of the world, Brother Qiang, I only know this now, the specific details, I think you still have to ask Andy." ”
The short-haired man said lightly: "Oh, Andy has tasted the sweetness?" Are you going to continue filming him in the next scene? ”
"Yes, Brother Qiang, I feel that Andy has been a little dishonest recently, he has hundreds of millions of fans in the mainland, and he is getting more and more showy, do you think you personally went out and beat him?" Wang Jing said tentatively.
The short-haired man hummed, hung up the number, and began to fumble for a diamond ring on his left hand.
"Science fiction? Eschatological? ”
A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I, Xiang Huaqiang, have been in the circle for twenty years, and I will lose to a barefoot guy?" ”
"Science fiction? Clap! Eschatological? Clap! ”
Xiang Huaqiang slammed the red wine glass in his hand on the big screen, with a snap, the glass shattered, and the red wine juice like blood spilled all over the ground.
