"Blade" finally spoke in North American theaters, and the release period reached a month and a half, which is more than the general release period of ordinary movies, which is enough to see the popularity of "Blade" in North America, and the final box office also reached an astonishing $120 million, this figure was still generated in the case of the impact of the stock market crash, and it may be higher if there is no stock market crash. Not to mention the high-level management of EGK Company, even Gu Chen himself was taken aback. Because in his memory, the original "Blade" shot in the 9o years of his previous life didn't seem to have such a high box office, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't afford to doubt it.

However, after careful analysis, this box office does not seem to be too incredible, as early as the beginning of the film's release, the "Los Angeles Times" reported on "Blade" and said: "This is undoubtedly a very good movie, excellent plot design, excellent makeup, dazzling fight scenes, cool props, and that flying car that seems to be from an alien planet, showing everyone a more wonderful blade warrior than the comics." Of course, there are also special effects that are comparable to the level of Hollywood, it is said that a special effects company under Mr. Gu's name made zuò, which is really unbelievable, when did the special effects in Hong Kong also have this level, don't they only engage in some funny and ridiculous models? It seems that Hollywood has been standing still for too long. Well, to get back to the point, every great movie can't be perfect, and this film is no exception, and perhaps most people who have watched the film have a question - what kind of zombie is it? Are they also afraid of sunlight? Also donating blood for a living? Are they the same creatures as vampires? ”

"Yes, I'm curious about what zombies are, too. Does the producer need to explain? Maybe we can go to the library and look it up. ”

After the film was released at the box office with a high price of $120 million, Hollywood media also gave a lot of coverage, and most of the reports were positive. The film is highly rated for its well-made, action scenes and computer special effects, and is considered to be the best film ever produced in Hong Kong, comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. However, there are also some media who are not so friendly, they grasp the problem of 'zombies', and mockingly say: "It is a miracle that the zombies from the East have not adapted to the soil and water in the North American Big 6." ”

For this kind of discriminatory prejudice, Gu Chen naturally laughed it off. In front of the iron-like number jù, those who ridicule are even more ridiculous.

After reading the detailed box office report of "Blade" in North America, Gu Chenchao Wu Siyuan, who was sitting opposite, said with a smile: "To be honest. I'm also a little surprised that "Blade" can achieve such results in North America, and it seems that the North American moviegoers are much more receptive than I thought. ”

"yes, it's a bit of a surprise, and I think it's all about the special effects. The special effects in Blade are really well done. is not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters, and it is normal for the film to achieve such results from this point of view. Wu Siyuan's analysis is very objective, and he continued: "The final box office statistics for Europe and South America should come out in two days, and I estimate that it should not be less than 8ooo million US dollars, and the global total box office is more than 2.5 US dollars, which is very rare even in Hollywood in the United States." ”

"It's a pity that most of the profits have been earned by EGK." Gu Chen said lightly, but the next words surprised Wu Siyuan: "I originally wanted to discuss with you in a few days, but it was just right for you to come over today." I intend to acquire EGK in the future. North America will still be the largest film market in the world, and if Hong Kong films want to make a bigger difference in the North American film market, they can't always be controlled by others, you can contact EGK now, as long as the asking price is not too excessive, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more. ”

You must know that EGK is one of the largest cinema companies in North America, and in the United States, where film production is separated, as long as it can acquire EGK Company, Gu Chen will have a pivotal position in Hollywood, and at the same time, the control over Hong Kong films will also be strengthened - Gu Chen has already controlled the Hong Kong film industry, and everyone in the entire Hong Kong film industry has to look at Gu Chen's face. If Gu Chen controls one of Hollywood's largest cinema companies, it is tantamount to building a high wall on the road for Hong Kong actors to go out.

"If it weren't for the antitrust law in the United States, I really want to buy all the theater companies in the United States, if the senior management of EGK does not agree to the acquisition request, there is more than one theater company in the United States, you can talk to AMC, AMC's scale will not be smaller than EGK, anyway, this time I have to buy a theater company anyway, I don't want to be led by the nose forever."

Gu Chen's resolute attitude shocked Wu Siyuan's spirit again, and he hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, I will start to arrange the acquisition, and personally fly to the United States to negotiate, and strive to complete the acquisition in the shortest possible time, but Chen Shao, do you want to use Tang Dynasty Cinema as the acquirer, or ......?"

There may be no difference between using Tang Dynasty Cinemas as the acquirer and Tang Dynasty Holdings or Gu Chen as the acquirer for Gu Chenlai, but it is very different for Tang Dynasty Cinemas.

EGK is one of the largest cinema chain companies in the United States, with a large number of theaters in North America, Europe and even South America, although it is not listed, but the valuation should be more than 700 million US dollars. This method can be ruled out first, because Gu Chen will never agree; Second, Gu Chen injected capital into the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line. However, this will inevitably lead to dilution of the shares of other shareholders.

The dilution of shares is thought to be a reduction in the right to speak, Wu Siyuan is nothing, he was originally following Gu Chen, whether the shares are diluted or not has no effect on him, but it is different for Golden Harvest and Kowloon Jianye, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are probably unwilling to lose their right to speak in the company.

However, Gu Chen has a controlling stake in the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, and if he insists on injecting capital, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun will not be able to stop it at all. Now the key depends on Gu Chen's plan.

It seems that he has considered this problem for a long time, Gu Chen said without hesitation: "Let's take Tang Dynasty Holdings as the acquirer, and I will send someone to assist you at that time, and when the acquisition is completed, I will form a group company with Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, and you will still serve as the general manager of the group." ”

Hong Kong is Gu Chen's home base, and he doesn't want to have a tense relationship with the local tycoons if he doesn't have to, so he naturally won't deliberately make others uncomfortable with something like this. In fact, if you don't consider the company's right to speak and only pay attention to investment income, it is undoubtedly the best choice to take Tang Dynasty Cinemas as the acquirer, after all, the North American film market is far greater than Hong Kong, and the future appreciation potential of cinemas is naturally greater than that of Tang Dynasty Cinemas.

Gu Chen's words made Wu Siyuan's heart suddenly burst with joy, from managing Hong Kong's cinema resources to managing one of the largest cinema companies in the United States, this is a huge leap, and the total value of assets under management has also doubled much, and according to this form, Gu Chen will acquire more cinema companies in the future, and at that time, with the continuous expansion of the management industry, his status will naturally rise with the tide. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy that he had sold Siyuan Film Company and resolutely followed Gu Chen's wise decision.

"Thank you for your trust."

Gu Chen was very satisfied with Wu Siyuan's reaction, nodded, and said, "You have followed me since the beginning of my business, and you have worked hard in the past two years, don't worry, I won't treat you badly." In the future, I will also acquire cinema chains in Japan and South Korea and other countries, especially those in Japan, which will also be a fairly large-scale film market in the future, with huge potential for cinema investment, but now is not the time. ”

The real estate market and stock market in Japan are still rising, and their market capitalization has far exceeded their true value, which is absolutely irrational.

……

After Wu Siyuan left, Gu Chen held a high-level meeting and listened to the exhibitions of his various companies. Bellucci walked up to him and said, "Boss, Xiang Huaqiang of Yongsheng Film Company asked when you had time and wanted to ask you to sit down." ”

Xiang Huaqiang? Gu Chen looked thoughtful, he hadn't talked about Xiang Huaqiang for a while, the performance of Yongsheng movies last year was still quite good, not to mention the "Jiupin Sesame Official" cooperated by the two companies, Yongsheng himself also made several blockbuster movies, but they all said that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly found himself today, I am afraid that he couldn't sit still after seeing the report of "Blade Warrior" in the newspaper.

"Blade" was not only reported by the Hollywood media, but also set off a wave of discussion in Hong Kong, and its high box office made countless people jaw-dropping at the beginning of the exposure. You must know that even in Hollywood, there are only one or two movies with a box office of more than 100 million in a year, and a Hong Kong film can actually achieve results that most Hollywood films in North America, the backyard of Hollywood, cannot achieve.

He didn't answer Monica? Bellucci walked all the way to his office, and it was not until he reached the office door that he said, "Tomorrow afternoon." ”

With his current power and influence in Hong Kong, of course, there is no need to look at Hua Qiang's face, but Xiang Jia's influence in Hong Kong is still not small, especially the influence of the underworld is even more important, and the two sides have cooperated in two movies before, and the relationship has always been good, but now there is no need to hurt the relationship for such a trivial matter as co-making a movie. Moreover, he does have a movie that needs to be cooperated with Xiang Huaqiang. (To be continued......)
