"This time it's about artifacts"
Cheng Long talked about "Zodiac".
In 2000, Cheng Long saw the news that an auction house auctioned China's 12 animal heads, and that year, the auction of tiger heads was as high as more than 10 million.
As a public figure and collector, Cheng Long felt the need to make a film to remind the public of the concept of protecting and promoting the protection of cultural relics.
So, Cheng Long had the idea of filming the movie "Zodiac".
Now that 9 years have passed, the rough script has been formed, and it is because of this that he found Lu Ping'an and wanted to shoot it.
Of course Lu Ping'an knew about this movie.
The cost is 300 million, and the mainland box office is more than 800 million.
It is one of the few films in the mainland that Cheng Long has made a profit on the books.
Of course, if you add all kinds of income such as overseas copyrights, this film is simply a big profit.
After Cheng Long finished his introduction, he said: "Ping'an, if you are interested, let's cooperate again, I can't trust others." ”
I sent it to the door, and of course Lu Ping'an will not miss it.
just didn't wait for Lu Ping'an to talk about not having time to direct.
Cheng Long himself said first: "But this time I want to direct it myself, the meaning of this film is not ordinary to me, you can understand it." ”
"Of course no problem, I will provide you with technical and financial support."
Lu Ping'an waved his hand, there was nothing to hesitate.
The matter is directly decided, and Xingchen will invest and participate in the global issuance.
In terms of global distribution, Lu Ping'an also knows Cheng Long's current worth.
Then the two discussed the specific distribution of benefits and the plot, and after the end, Cheng Long happily took out the red wine and said that he would have a drink anyway.
Lu Ping'an did not refuse, this time he made tens of millions of dollars of profits for Xingchen, which is indeed worth celebrating.
The next day, the two appeared together at the North American premiere of "Kung Fu Panda 2".
Also on hand were the voice actors of the film.
The voice actors are generally similar to Kung Fu Panda 1, and the new characters are the same as the original.
The voice actor of "Lord Shen" is still played by Gary Oldman, who is the perverted sheriff in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
The rest of the new characters also added surprise cameos such as Shange Winton, Michelle Yeoh, and Stallone.
This also made the premiere star-studded, which fiercely met the expectations of North American kung fu fans.
Then in the opening performance, this time the Xingchen team also invited the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple.
The appearance of eighteen warrior monks surprised fans and the media at the premiere.
After all, Shaolin Temple is the most mysterious place in the mysterious ancient country of the East in the impression of the old American people, the birthplace of kung fu, the place where dreams begin, and the place where all kung fu lovers must make a pilgrimage in this life.
This is not what Lu Ping'an said himself, but what people really think.
This is also due to the spread of Hong Kong films in the Golden Age.
In short, this time Hollywood kung fu superstars, Chinese kung fu superstars, plus the real Shaolin Temple warrior monks were present.
directly filled the opening heat of "Kung Fu Panda 2".
And the overall quality of "Kung Fu Panda 2" should be said to be the best in the series.
In addition, the schedule for the premiere of "Kung Fu Panda 2" in North America is not bad.
It's a week to two and a half weeks away from Transformers 2 and Harry Potter 6 and Flying House.
So there is no need to say much about the next box office.
"The 3D animation "Kung Fu Panda 2" was released in 4,226 theaters in Laomei last Thursday, with a weekend box office of $50.76 million and a single box office of more than $12,000, ranking second."
"The North American premiere of "Kung Fu Panda 2" is gratifying, and Chinese animation once again stands on top of the world"
"Behind the madness of the warrior monks across the ocean, the shock of the old beauty, and the madness of the fans, is the hardcore output of Chinese animation and culture"
""Kung Fu Panda 2" is gratifying at the box office, and Xingchen's stock price has soared"
Soon, mainland media who were also paying attention to the box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2" released various reports.
The three-day box office in North America is more than 50 million, and it is not a big problem for North America to break $200 million in the future.
The mainland's "Kung Fu Panda 2" also attracted its premiere, and the real-time box office exceeded 100 million in two days, and it is no longer a problem to break 500 million in the future.
The box office was a hit, and both exceeded the minimum expectations of the earlier institutions.
That's the basics.
The double harvest of box office word-of-mouth also means that the "Kung Fu Panda" series of movies has officially taken shape.
The market value of a series of movies and a single movie is naturally different.
The most immediate impact is the sharp rise in Xingchen's stock price.
In the past few days, after experiencing a surge in stock prices after listing, Xingchen's stock price has been in a state of shock, and it has not exceeded the highest price on the first day of listing.
But now, as soon as the good news comes out, the stock price will directly break through the shock zone and march towards the highest level in history.
What followed was that Lu Ping'an's net worth skyrocketed again.
From 18.9 billion a few days ago, it is now a hop per hour, and it has quickly rushed to 21 billion.
According to the prediction of professional institutions, if the global box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2" is higher than that of "Kung Fu Panda 1".
It's not just a matter of forming a series.
It's a question of the world's top series of films.
This thing is placed in China, a country that is already weak in terms of film culture.
The meaning can be very different.
So if you really want to do it more fiercely than the first part.
The market value of this wave of stars may rise to an incredible level.
As a result, various institutions rushed to enter the game.
The ultra-high trading volume also drove the stock price to continue to rise.
This is how the stock market was speculated.
Then wait for "Kung Fu Panda 2" to be released a week later.
At this time, the North American box office was 120 million.
The mainland box office is 310 million.
The rest of the regions have also begun to be released one after another, and the news of gratifying results has spread back to China.
Xingchen's share price directly broke through the all-time high and came to a high of 127 yuan.
Compared with the closing price of 79 yuan on the first day of listing.
Almost doubled!
However, Xiang Guoqiang also called soon.
Said that the next step is to be mentally prepared for the stock price to fall.
Because it's not very normal now, the inflated height is relatively large.
Of course Lu Ping'an knows.
So he didn't jump up and down like Hu Qingquan, Ning Hao and others in China.
But think about it, in such a week, Xingchen's market value is about to double, and his value has skyrocketed.
Like Lu Ping'an, a week ago, his net worth was 18.9 billion, and now it is more than 30 billion.
It's scary.
Lu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
It's too easy to make money!
No wonder so many listed companies don't want to do things, just hype.
This is really unbearable for ordinary people.
"Kung Fu Panda 2" was released for a week, and the box office was gratifying.
This has also had an excellent impact on the valuation of the peak.
Another week later, Lu Ping'an temporarily returned to Los Angeles after a roadshow in London.
Watzberg smiled and took out the report: "Guess how much we value now?" ”
