After months of publicity, Red Alert has finally landed in the UK for release.

Although he has a lot of confidence in his film, because the schedule is too close to the annual Christmas schedule in Europe and the United States, "Red Alert" needs to face the competition of several American blockbusters at the same time, so that even Lin Xiaozhi himself has no bottom about the box office of this movie.

"Manager, how's the box office. Is the OD count out? ”

As soon as Zheng Fei got into the car, before he could get rid of the snow on his body, he heard the young man sitting in the driver's seat chattering and asking, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Do you think Britain is Hong Kong?" Do you only need to count the data of one city in London? Not yet, I only have data for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are still counting, and it is estimated that it will be a few hours."

The heating in the car quickly melted the snowflakes on his hands, and the ice water seeped into the collar of Zheng Fei's clothes, which made him shiver and tighten his clothes, "Hurry up and drive back to the hotel, it's so cold outside." I went to Canada last week and it snowed heavily, and I thought it would be warmer when I came to the UK, but who expected it to be snowing here."

As a standard Hong Kong person, although it is not the first time that Zheng Fei has seen snow, he also does not like this cold weather.

"Okay......" The young man started the car, and the two drove along the curvy road to the hotel.

"Manager, after you go back this time, the boss will definitely give you a promotion, I heard that after we complete the merger with Debao, we will consider going public, I don't know if there is a share incentive in Ludao Company?"

When they came to Europe from Hong Kong, Lam's acquisition of Debao was a foregone conclusion. Many people in New Asia are aware of Lin Xiaozhi's development strategy, and after acquiring Debao and digesting the entire company, the company's next strategy is to go public for financing. Lin Xiaozhi also released a rumor that before the listing, he would give equity options to some of the company's senior executives, and any employee could buy some of the company's original shares at a low price internally before the listing. This is an opportunity to make a fortune, and many people are gearing up for the company's future prospects.

"Just you talk a lot, it's snowy and slippery, drive your car honestly" Although a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Zheng Fei still scolded unceremoniously, making the young man silent for a while.

Unfortunately, the silence in the car didn't last long, and soon the young man sitting in the driver's seat couldn't help but ask: "Manager, what did the boss send you and Director Sima to do in Canada before?" ”

Zheng Fei was just about to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he was asked a question again, and he couldn't help but glance at him, "Qizai, if I knew that you were a chatter before, I wouldn't let you beat me to death."

Sitting in the driver's seat was a twenty-two or three-year-old young man, his name was Wang Qi, and his name Qi had the same sound as Qi, so acquaintances called him 'Qizai,'. Qizai is not tall and average-looking, but he is a young man with a very sunny personality. Implicitly, it is an extrovert and good at making friends, but to put it bluntly, this baby has a long grass in the ass and is naturally active. He was recruited at the end of 89 when New Asia expanded, graduated from a foreign language major, he is good at Latin, English and French, and he also knows some German. In order to open up the European and American markets, as well as the Japanese and Korean markets, the New Asia Distribution Department has recruited at least a dozen professionals who are proficient in multiple foreign languages.

"Hehe" Qizai smiled, he had already familiarized Zheng Fei's temperament, and he was not afraid of him at all. Seeing that he didn't speak, he didn't insist on asking.

Zheng Fei was questioned by him for a while, and finally became impatient, and said angrily: "Sima also followed, what else can there be." Lin Dong wants to buy a company in Canada, let's talk about it."

Xu is because of the acquisitions of Xinyibao Records, Tianxia Publishing, Chengbao and Debao, and the last hurdle is handled by Sima Jie, who is proficient in legal affairs.

Qizai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The boss wants to buy a new company?" What Canadian Company? Manager, can you tell me? ”

"A computer software development company, it is said to be a company specializing in writing film special effects synthesis software, and the eight characters have not been skimmed yet, what are you anxious to ask." Zheng Fei asked him anxiously and said that he had missed his mouth, and he already regretted it in his heart, and after thinking about it, it was almost done, so he continued: "Sima is still talking to a few ghost guys in Canada, and the acquisition has to rely on him, a person who is proficient in law. I'm not worried about handing over a few of you here in Europe, so I reacted to Lin Dong and came to the UK to watch the movie come to the UK."

As the capital of the United Kingdom, London is also a city that never sleeps. But perhaps because the city ushered in the first snow of the winter, it was only past eleven o'clock, and there were not many passers-by on the streets. Zheng Fei looked at the snowflakes falling outside the car window, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he smiled and took out a piece of paper with several sets of data written on it from the inner pocket of his clothes.

"At £4 a ticket, more than 80,000 tickets were sold on the first day in England alone. Although the other districts are not as strong as England's purchasing power, and we don't invest as much in the promotion there as we do on England's side, I think we should add up to £300,000. Over £600,000 on the first day, this report card handed over is also considered a passing ......"

In the midst of the snowflakes, the car slowly drove towards its destination.

"£740,000 on the first day of box office in the UK?"

Lin Xiaozhi put down the phone, frowned slightly, and then sighed, "Let those media in Hong Kong know the truth, I'm afraid it's not going to gossip again."

He was not very satisfied with the result. Compared with other movies, the first-day box office of "Red Alert" is already very good, even better than "Killer Leon" at the beginning. But the movie was released at the wrong time, this year's Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", with the help of the momentum of a big hit in North America, swept away more than 10 million pounds at the box office in more than a week after landing in the United Kingdom, and now it has squeezed into the top ten of the British November box office list.

Although this movie is in addition to Golden Harvest's investment, from the crew to the actors and even the distribution, it is all done by the Yankees, and it is an out-and-out American movie. But the Hong Kong media doesn't think so, don't watch Hong Kong movies and be happy, but the name of 'Oriental Hollywood' can only fool the natives who have never seen the world in Southeast Asia, and go out of Asia to the United States and even Europe, and foreigners scoff at it.

It is rare for the Chinese to invest in a film with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, and countless media in Hong Kong are staring at the European box office changes of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Although Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" hit the streets in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it sold well in Southeast Asia and Japan, especially Japan. I heard that the box office exceeded 100 million in just four days after its release, and Golden Harvest has recently been very high-profile in Hong Kong, it is said that their film started filming in early August in a low-key manner, and Cheng Long paid 10 million Hong Kong dollars with Golden Harvest to shoot "Flying Eagle Strategy", and now it has received an additional grant of 10 million. Golden Harvest is ambitious and wants to take advantage of the infighting among the three giants of the new art city, and Lin Xiaozhi has just acquired Debao and has not yet gained a firm foothold, taking the opportunity to determine Golden Harvest's supremacy in the Hong Kong film industry.

At this time, as soon as the British box office of "Red Alert" comes out, it will inevitably be compared between the old overlords and the upstarts.

Lin Xiaozhi really didn't guess wrong, although it was a little later than him, but there are not a few people in Hong Kong who pay attention to the British box office of "Red Alert", and on the afternoon of the day he got the data, the box office data of "Red Alert" appeared on the "Sing Tao Evening News", and the whole Hong Kong discussion continued for a while. may have praise and envy, but more people are compared to Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", there are those who are optimistic and there are more people who sing about it, which is ridiculous

Lin Xiaozhi's counterattack was also very fast, although three days before the release in the UK, the total box office of "Red Alert" barely exceeded 3 million pounds, which was much worse than the original momentum of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but as the film was released in Taiwan for nearly two months, scholars and Cai Songlin gave him a big gift, and when "Red Alert" was released in the UK and was about to be full moon, a data was officially announced, and on the 57th day of its release in Taiwan, the box office of "Red Alert" stubbornly exceeded 100 million Taiwan dollars (about more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars). It immediately shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In recent years, it is an indisputable fact that the United States has invaded Hong Kong's traditional ruling areas, and even Taiwan is about to fall under the iron heel of the United States. In the past few years, a number of imported American blockbusters have grossed over 100 million in Taiwan, while Hong Kong dollars have not yet appeared in Hong Kong with a box office of over 100 million.

However, this record can finally be overturned, and Hong Kong people can proudly announce that our film has sold more than 100 million yuan in Taiwan. Because in 19UU, "Red Alert" invested and filmed by New Asia finally broke this record after nearly two months of release. not only took over the crown of the 1990 champion of Taiwan's box office list from the American blockbuster "Die Hard", but also exceeded 100 million Taiwan dollars at the box office

And the sensational effect it achieved was no less than half a point worse than the hot sales of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in Europe and the United States
