Chapter five hundred and thirty six. Achievement of a billionaire
Speaking of which, the first movie "God of Gambling" in Magic Shadow Entertainment broke the Hong Kong historical record on the first day with a box office of 2.3 million. However, in Chen Xiaotang's opinion, this is the first day. Whether a movie's box office is good or not must be determined by the weekly box office in a week, and the monthly box office in a month. It is a bit too early to say that this movie has a big box office.
Chen Xiaotang's extraordinary calmness cannot stop major media from reporting on record-breaking reports on this drama...
The next day.
"Extraordinary news! Extraordinary news! The premiere of the Magic Shadow "God of Gambling" broke the record!"
"Extra, extra large number! The box office of "God of Gamblers" exceeded two million on the premiere day!"
"Hong Kong movie premiere day sets another record, with 2.3 million writing a new history!"
....
It has to be said that the first day of "God of Gamblers" broke the record, giving the entire Hong Kong movie a shot of heart, proving that the curse of two million unbreakable on the premiere can be broken!
At the same time, different remarks have been made in all walks of life in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
First of all, Chen Xiaotang is a friend in the circle.
Zhang Guirong: "I'm really happy to know this news. I've always watched Ah Tang's movies, and I've participated in the premiere of "God of Gambling"; how to say, I'm not surprised that the box office on the first day has broken the record. If you attended the premiere like me that day, you'll understand what I mean."
Tan Yonglin: "It's a surprise. It's only been a few days since Atang's record broke the record. Now his movie premiere has broken the record again. This is really a miracle and a miracle, or in other words, he is a person who is good at creating miracles!"
Chen Baixiang: "Accident? I'm not surprised at all! Since I met Tang Zai, this guy has always been elusive and did something surprising! If you say he came from Mars, I believe it too!"
.....
Then there are some film industry insiders.
Huang Baiming, Xinyi City: "How to say it, Mr. Chen Xiaotang proved it with his practical actions. The premiere box office of "Best Partner" we once created can be broken. I hope he will continue to work hard and surpass our drama in the total box office. After all, there will be development only if there is competition!"
Jiahe Cheng Long: "Haha, this drama Atang puts a lot of pressure on me. The box office on the premiere alone reached 2.3 million, which is really surprising, but I will continue to work hard. Tang Zai. Let's work together!"
Wu Siyuan, honorary chairman of the Golden Star Awards Association: "Mr. Chen Xiaotang has proved the arrival of the Hong Kong film prosperity with his practical actions. We all must work hand in hand to create brilliance together! Here, I solemnly invite Mr. Chen Xiaotang to join us to discuss the establishment of the Film Association!"
...
If these voices are all praising Chen Xiaotang's "God of Gambling", then some of the following remarks will be a little sour.
Tang Zhenye, a popular TV actor and the TVB Five Tigers General, said in an interview with the media: "In my opinion, the box office on the first day does not represent anything. Maybe it's just that you media have done a big deal. Besides, Chen Xiaotang relied on the gimmick he won a hand on the gambling ship before, which attracted people's attention to this drama. This drama has just been released, and the road ahead is still long. Maybe if you can laugh to the end!"
"Mr. Tang Zhenye, are you jealous of Chen Xiaotang?" the reporter couldn't help asking.
"I am jealous of him? Oh, I love to joke! I debuted earlier than him. I was already popular when he was not popular. I can say that I also came from where I got there. The road is still long, so continue to work hard!"
Ni Zhen, a new screenwriter of Yongsheng Entertainment, also accepted an interview with the media: "Do you know "God of Gambling"? I haven't seen this drama at all! How to say it? Because in my opinion, this drama has no connotation at all. It is completely sensational! Especially the scene where people become fools after losing their memory, it is bloody and extremely bloody! So I suggest you take a look at my adaptation of "Wesley", which will allow you to learn a little bit of national culture!"
Compared to Mr. Ni Zhen's indignation, the boss of Yongsheng Xiang Xiasheng said politely: "Well, what do you think, Mr. Chen Xiaotang and I are friends. I am very happy that his movies are so good, haha! However, now that the drama is just beginning, our Yongsheng "Wesley" is also full of momentum, so it's better to watch the box office in a week. At that time, you will know the two dramas, which one is the big winner!"
...
As everyone in the entertainment industry insisted on the record-breaking box office of "Game God" on the first day, people became more interested in the drama out of curiosity. Therefore, "Game God" continued to be popular, and even made it difficult to get a ticket in many places.
At the same time, King He Gambler also officially signed a contract with Chen Xiaotang, allowing him to be the spokesperson for his major hotels and real estate, with an endorsement fee of 10 million!
After getting a huge check of tens of millions, even if Chen Xiaotang reminded himself not to be greedy for money, it is bad and wrong to be greedy for money, but he still couldn't help but kiss the check with it.
"Oh! You're rich!"
That's true. Chen Xiaotang is indeed rich now. You know, his original net worth is only 50 million yuan. After establishing Moxiu Entertainment and Moxiu Records, he has no funds for opening two consecutive movies. However, the battle of the gambling ship made him gain 20 million yuan at once for thanks to Mr. Zhou, Zhutou, who "sees money as dirt", and six cinema chains worth 25 million yuan. At this time, Chen Xiaotang's net worth has reached an astonishing 95 million yuan!
But this is not over yet. Don’t forget that Chen Xiaotang earned five million for brand endorsement by Pan Disheng and Xu Jinheng, two rich sons, and the huge endorsement fee given by the gambling king now has 10 million yuan. Now Chen Xiaotang has finally squeezed into the ranks of billionaires!
After three years, he started from scratch! Work hard and became a billionaire! It was fake to say that Chen Xiaotang was not moved by himself. Chen Xiaotang was too moved, and he was working hard and striving for his own efforts. But at this moment, his mood was not as crazy as he had thought before. He became a billionaire, and he was not breathing smoothly, and he was about to die excitedly... but his heart was beating slightly faster, and he was a little panting, picking. Could it be that he was immune to excitement?
Chen Xiaotang couldn't figure it out.
In fact, everyone is growing up at any time, and Chen Xiaotang is no exception. When he was poor, he fantasized about what would happen if he became a billionaire, but when you really took one step at a time and became such a rich man from scratch, you will lose the excitement and excitement that used to be.
At this moment, Chen Xiaotang was yawning with a million check after being excited. There was no way. He was busy premiering the movie recently and didn’t sleep well. But now he is in trouble again, so he must consider the investment and use of funds. What does that mean? The money saved in his hands is not money. Only by putting it into market operations is living money!
Especially Moying Entertainment is facing a big leap, and Chen Xiaotang must allocate his capital chain reasonably. This is something that must be handled as a boss and an investor.
Chen Xiaotang roughly calculated that in addition to the fixed assets of Moying Entertainment, the funds that can actually operate are the 20 million won and the 15 million won by endorsement fees.
Zhou Xingchi and others who joined Moxiu Entertainment are starting to film "The Martial Arts Principal Su Qi'er", which requires four million yuan in shooting funds. Even if you reduce your salary for the future "The Hero of the Fine Martial Arts", they still require eight million yuan in capital investment, and in this way, there is only 23 million yuan left. Chen Xiaotang plans to spend another 15 million yuan to acquire four cinema chains in the Hong Kong local market; in the end, there is still eight million yuan left, of which five million Chen Xiaotang is planning to establish a cinema in the mainland...
As soon as Chen Xiaotang expressed his suggestion to establish a cinema in the mainland, he was immediately opposed by the senior officials of the Magic Shadow.
And it is a firm opposition!
It looked like Chen Xiaotang touched the widow's house in the middle of the night. The danger was high and unreasonable!
"Atang, are you wrong? I invested so much money in mainland China to build a cinema?" This is the words of Fatty Wang Jing.
"Tangzi, you have to think clearly. People in the mainland can't even eat enough, so where can they have free money to watch movies?" This is the words of Old Man Huang Huang Zhan.
"Boss, although I don't know the situation on the mainland, I heard that it's very poor!" This is what the female secretary Ye Zimei interrupted. "Also, I heard that people over there can't even afford toilets, and they just dig a hole and squatted down to do whatever they do..."
"Too talk!" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but glared at Ye Zimei, and Dabo Mei stuck out her tongue. Why, after having been in contact with this boss for a long time, she felt that he had no airs at all.
Chen Xiaotang is okay with everyone's current situation in the mainland, but if you don't understand this, you should go and see it, instead of what others say. Do you know that the mainland is carrying out reform and opening up? People on the mainland are also eager to pursue entertainment? You know that they are not full of food, which is the past. Now there are corn sprouts, hot soup, and 50 cents a bowl of hot soup. The beef in it is more than Hong Kong char siu!
As for entertainment, the mainland, which was in the early 1980s, was definitely a huge market. If there was a golden decade of movies in Hong Kong, then there was a golden nine years in mainland China. Why was it nine years? Because since the reform and opening up in 1980s, it has been constantly accepting foreign ideas and foreign cultures. The most popular movies in major cinemas were foreign films from Shanghai Translator Factory, and then Hong Kong martial arts films, such as "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "The Sea of Clouds and Blue Bows", "The Drunken Man", and the co-production of "The Dragon Crossing the River", "Mirage", "The Great Shanghai 1937", etc. It can be said that as soon as each movie is released, countless people will buy tickets and enter the venue, which is very popular. One ticket is one dollar, and it is so cool to take your girlfriend in. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can go through the women's bathroom and sneak into the cinema, and by the way, scare those lesbians who are urinating.
It can be said that the nine years in the early 1980s were definitely the most active era in mainland China to accept foreign culture. Until that incident happened later, the government felt that too indulging in foreign culture would cause terrible consequences, so it adopted entertainment controls and banned many cinemas, making the cinemas a grocery market, selling sheets, pillows, and chicken feather stalls...
People have no place to entertain, and smart people create the legendary "video hall" at this time. They still cost one dollar per ticket, which allows you to watch for a day, and there are four or five dramas in succession. Occasionally, there are some third-level films from Hong Kong and Taiwan. As long as you shout to your boss in the middle of the night, "Boss, change the movie!" You can immediately enjoy some scene that is not extremely exciting for children.
