Chapter 307: The ferocity of Avengers 4 (monthly pass plus update)

9:30 a.m.

A curve and a straight line appear on the screen, and when it first appears, the curve is above the straight line, and then soon the curve is farther and farther away from the straight line, and it keeps rising.

At about 10:50 a.m., Haoshi Network sealed a word board, up 10%, to 33 yuan per share, with a total market value of 66 billion yuan!

Haoshi has a total of 2 billion shares, Haotian Media owns 40% of the shares, Li Hao personally holds 10% of the shares, Tong Liya and Jingtian each hold 10% of the shares, and the management and employees of the company hold 5% of the shares, and the 500 million shares traded in this listing account for 25% of the total shares!

In this listing and financing, Haoshi has raised a total of 15.75 billion yuan!

To raise such a large amount of money, the first thing is to buy 2 office buildings, with a construction area of 100,000 square meters and a total price of 7 billion yuan, which is almost half of the money financed.

These two buildings are Wanda's office buildings.

This year, Wanda Group's life is not very easy, and it can only be regarded as a life-and-death crisis.

In the past two years, Wanda Group has opened the road of 'selling, selling, selling', selling cultural tourism projects and hotels to Sunac and R&F, AMC Cinemas to Haotian Media, and low-key disposing of the entire equity of Centennial Life (accounting for 11.55%) held by it at a price of 2.718 billion yuan last year, and also sold 60% of the shares of R&F Properties' first overseas asset project, London ONE project, sold two projects in Sydney and Gold Coast, Australia for 315 million Australian dollars, and sold 17% of Atletico Madrid Club Even the One Beverly Hills plot in Los Angeles was sold for $412 million.

In 2018 alone, tens of billions of dollars were withdrawn by selling these assets.

Not long ago, Wanda Group also sold its 37 Wanda Department stores to Suning Tesco, a transaction of nearly 8 billion yuan!

Li Hao found Lao Wang, and as soon as he talked about buying an office building, Lao Wang agreed without saying a word.

No why, just for Li Hao not to be able to lower the price, and to give money happily.

Lao Wang likes to do business with real people like Li Hao the most, he is simply refreshing, and he agrees to give money when he agrees, and never procrastinates.

If he could, Lao Wang wanted to sell Wanda Group to Li Hao and start his retirement with the money.

Haoshi was busy moving into the new headquarters, and Li Hao did not pay much attention to it, but focused on the filming of the crew of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".

Even if "Avengers 4: Endgame" was released in China, Li Hao did not go to the premiere.

"Avengers 4" was released in the mainland on April 24, and this time the mainland, Xiangjiang, Macau, Baodao, and the entire Chinese movie box office are all owned by Haotian Media.

The box office sharing in the mainland is also according to the treatment of co-productions, and the box office sharing of co-productions is almost equivalent to that of domestic films, rather than Hollywood films entering the mainland as imported films in the past.

The proportion of imported Hollywood films has undergone three evolutions.

In 1999, the two countries reached a bilateral agreement on China's accession to the WTO, doubling the quota for imported films to 20 films, and the account sharing ratio was 13%! 13% is not 13% of the total box office, because imported films also have to pay 5% of the special fund for the film industry and 3.3% of the special business tax, which means that the 13% share ratio is 13% of the box office that can be shared.

That's almost 11.921% of the total box office!

In other words, don't look at the Hollywood movies in those years, which overwhelmed domestic films, in fact, most of the money was still earned by theaters and distributors.

It's almost done, China makes money and China spends, and thinks about it.

By the time 2012, the Chinese film market was already quite considerable, and Hollywood was naturally very greedy, the Chinese film market was so small in the past, and the total box office of the whole year was only 800 million when the agreement was signed, even if it was given to Hollywood movies, there were not many, and Hollywood naturally didn't care too much.

But by 2012, the Chinese film market had surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest film market after the United States, and Hollywood naturally did not blush.

As a result, the two sides launched fierce negotiations, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on resolving WTO film-related issues, agreeing to increase the quota of 14 films per year, that is, the annual quota of Hollywood films is 34, and the proportion of accounts will be increased from 13% to 25%.

And last year, the two sides launched another fierce negotiation, considering that the level of domestic films has improved a lot compared with the past, and in order to force the level of domestic films to continue to improve under external pressure, the final proportion of revenue sharing of imported films is 35% for producers, 17% for distributors, and 48% for exhibitors!

After the two sides negotiated, Disney and other companies almost vomited blood, because at that time the agreement for "Avengers 4" had already been signed.

It can be said that if there was such a sharing ratio, Disney would definitely not have agreed so happily in the first place.

The premiere of "Avengers 4", a number of Hollywood movie stars participated, this is the first time in so many years that a Hollywood movie star has come to China to participate in the promotion, although the promotional activities are only two days, but it still makes a group of Marvel fans excited.

Of course, the producers of "Avengers 4" did not suffer a loss, because when "Avengers 4" was released, AMC Cinemas gave "Avengers 4" 80% of the film schedule, and Nanyang Cinemas gave "Avengers" 70% of the film schedule.

"Avengers 4" is also ferocious, winning 4.98 billion box office in the mainland within 11 days of release, of which it received more than 2 billion yuan at the box office during the May Day holiday, and easily won the 2019 "May Day" box office champion, two months after its release, "Avengers 4" won 6.253 billion yuan, creating a new record for Hollywood films in the Chinese market, and also a new box office record for foreign films in the Chinese film market!

The box office of "Avengers 4" in the first week of Xiangjiang was close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office reached 235 million Hong Kong dollars when it was drawn, and it won the equivalent of 34 million yuan at the box office in Macau, and it was equivalent to 1.533 billion Taiwan dollars in Treasure Island, which is almost 330.4 million yuan, which also created a box office record for Treasure Island!

No way, "Avengers 4" is a Hollywood blockbuster, and the brand is brighter than "The Wandering Earth 2".

It is undeniable that the influence of Hollywood films is still far ahead of Chinese films, and the gap between the two will not be able to catch up for a while.

After all, it took decades for Hollywood movies to completely complete the establishment of the empire!

By July 21, the global box office of "Avengers 4" had exceeded 3 billion US dollars, winning the overall box office champion in global film history.

Officially because of the ferocity of "Avengers 4", "The Wandering Earth 2" can only rank second at the annual global box office.

The Wandering Earth 2 mainland box office has reached 7.589 billion so far, and it continues to be postponed, with a box office of 1.098 billion in other Asian regions and countries, a box office of 422 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, and a total of 1.6825 billion US dollars in the global box office.

Although the mainland box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" is no longer expected to break the box office record of its predecessor, it has surpassed its predecessor in the global cumulative box office, and there are also two records, one is the highest global box office record for a domestic film (in US dollars), and it is also the best result achieved by a domestic film in Europe and the United States.
