Zhao Hong spent a lot of effort to stop Qingxia from crying, and the two of them were at ease with each other.

Mother Lin who was watching from a distance shook her head. Her daughter was really hopeless. As a mother, she couldn't say anything. Just crying gave her a headache.

This move left her speechless. Father Lin couldn't stand the teasing and rarely came here, and Mother Lin just settled here.

This is already a basic operation.

"Hong, why do you want to write such a novel? It's too academic! It gives me a headache."

Zhao Hong and Qingxia chatted about their novels, but she shook her head. She was not interested in such things between big countries. She liked love novels, preferably with a little bourgeois flavor.

It would be best if the male protagonist could tolerate some of the female protagonist's pretentiousness.

"This is very interesting. It's just that you don't like the big countries."

Zhao Hong shook her head and said, women just like to be lingering and sentimental, while men like to lie drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman and wake up to take over the world. The appreciation point is different.

When he was writing "The Rise of a Great Power", his mood would change with the development of the great country he was writing about. Sometimes he was excited and unexplainable, and sometimes he showed disappointment and regretted some of the country's stupid actions.

"Hong, do you think the child in my belly is really a boy?"

"Yes, I am eighty percent sure of this."

"Isn't it 20% uncertain!"

"Hey, my daughter-in-law, I'm saying this modestly, do you understand? Just put your heart back in your belly! Boys can't run away."

"Hey, you said it's a boy, what should we name him?"

"It's too early!"

"Is it early? It's already May 1st, and the baby in my belly is already six months old. He will be born in another four months!"

"Here, let me think about it."

…

Zhao Hong, who has difficulty naming, was once again struggling to think of a name. This thing really tested her own wisdom!

Finally, the name was Xiaohu, which was a bit random!

But he couldn't bear it. He chose many Qingxias and didn't like them, but this one was more pleasing to his eyes.

On May 1st, Zhao Hong also learned about the box office situation of her movie "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" around the world. By now, the global box office is basically over.

The box office of this movie in Hong Kong is not too high, that is, more than 31 million yuan. This was still shot by Zhao Hong. If it had been shot by anyone else, it would have been lower. It is not even in the top ten of the current year in Hong Kong.

These days, thanks to the operation of DreamWorks, there are too many good films in Hong Kong.

Basically, one or two or three blockbusters are released every month. Ten powerful film companies, plus many small companies, all sing and I take the stage. It’s so lively!

So far, the number of people in Xiangjiang has been approaching nine million, which is 1.5 times that of more than six million in 1982. With the growth of JDP per capita, the current consumption level in Xiangjiang is really impressive.

In a city with the highest movie box office in Asia, of course part of the box office is contributed by tourists, who come from all over the world.

Especially during the film festival, the box office of movies in Hong Kong is 20 million Hong Kong dollars more than usual. This cake is still very delicious to many movie companies.

So every April is the time when gods fight.

"Beautiful Legend of Sicily" has a combined box office of more than 40 million US dollars in other Asian countries. Overall, the box office is pretty good. It is especially popular in Japan, and the same is true in South Korea.

What I want to talk about is that the box office in Europe has exploded this time, reaching nearly 70 million US dollars. This figure is the best box office of all his films here.

This can be regarded as expanding an emerging market.

It has more than 50 million US dollars in the United States. This movie itself is a Hollywood movie, and its box office is considered good among literary and artistic films. What I want to say is that this movie won the Oscar for Best Newcomer this year, and this crown was won by DiCaprio.

.

Zhao Hong is embarrassed to talk about this. You must know that this film won the Best Foreign Language Film Award in the original time and space. His award this time was much smaller.

Of course, there are reasons for this. The main reason is that the film's promotion time is relatively short, and it also has to premiere in Berlin. This leads to the fact that few people have seen this film before the Oscars are awarded. Winning this award is considered a success.

Rather lucky.

But it’s not all nothing, it won five awards including Best Film nomination, Best Director nomination, Best Actress nomination and so on.

Zhao Hong has gained another aura, being nominated for Best Director. This is a new record for Chinese people at the Oscars, and the media has also reported on it on a large scale.

In addition to the above, there are also tens of millions of dollars in other places, including from Africa and Lao Maozi. DreamWorks is digging in these places.

Especially in Laomaozi, this year the DreamWorks cinema chain has launched a construction model here again, but it is still under construction. It is hard to say when this cinema chain will reach a large scale.

It can be said that wherever you go to a somewhat developed place in the world, there will be a DreamWorks theater. This is a paranoia engraved in your bones.

Zhao Hong is also happy about this. It doesn't matter whether some places make money or not, but they must see his company's movies or bloodthirsty movies.

In fact, there is nothing that does not make money, it is just the length of time it takes to recover the costs.

This is really not a problem for DreamWorks, which currently has a lot of money.

Besides, as long as the channels are laid out, DreamWorks will not only make money from movies, but also products from other places.

The total global box office of the movie "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was US$180 million, which shocked many people's jaws.

Can literary films be so profitable?

In fact, they don't know that this is still an exposed part, and they don't know much about other ways to make money. It can be said that DreamWorks Clothing Company made a lot of money this time.

Several models of the same style of Malena's clothing aroused the interest of many people as soon as they were released.

The popularity is really unimaginable. Tens of millions of sets were sold in just two months. Each set of these clothes can earn about 300 Hong Kong dollars, which means that this is a net income of 3 billion.

.

DreamWorks Clothing has also had a hard time brushing its face in Europe. The returns are really amazing, not counting the actual benefits but also the invisible wealth.

It can be said that the clothing company under DreamWorks has made the most money in this wave!

The profits made by other companies from this movie are no less than one billion, including video tapes, peripherals, audio and video, etc., which are all areas where money is made.

Zhao Hong discovered a problem, that is, it is most profitable for him to shoot modern movies, especially peripheral ones.

Many departments in DreamWorks now want him to shoot several movies a year, so that the performance will increase by at least a few percentage points.

They all had the same feeling when Zhong Xi Meng was in the publishing house that they wished they could lock Zhao Hong up and create more, but they just thought about it.

Xi Meng is currently running a hotel business very well, and this woman has a very strong career ambition.

One year is basically spent at work, 360 days and 100 days are spent on airplanes.

At present, the scale of Peninsula Hotels is increasing. In addition to cultural hotels in the mainland, there are about ten hotels in Europe and the United States.

There are three such hotels in the United States, one in Los Angeles, one in New York, and the last one in Hollywood.

This is also luxurious enough.

As for the other seven, they are all in world-famous metropolises, such as London, Paris, Berlin, Willis, etc.

All of these hotels are of the highest quality, and it is no exaggeration to say that each of them is a seven-star hotel.

Currently we are planning to build a hotel like this in Moscow, and this matter has been put on the agenda.

It can be said that since Xi Meng took over as the general manager of DreamWorks Hotel, he has been aggressively encircling the area, spending a huge amount of money.

Now it is slowly starting to make a profit, but it is really far away to recover the cost, mainly because Ximeng has to keep building hotels.

It's the kind of hotel where you feel like you have your own house.

That's a lot of money to begin with.

Fortunately, DreamWorks made a huge fortune in Japan last year, and its own company's profits are also amazing, so the company will not have loans or anything like that.

In recent years, although DreamWorks has been given the impression of low-key development from the outside, in fact it has been investing a lot of money, including billions to tens of billions in hotels, electricity, shipping, automobiles, etc.

No wait.

In addition to the money earned from investments in the Japanese market, the money earned by DreamWorks Investment Company is also not a small amount, plus DreamWorks' other relatively mature industries.

This makes it easier to maintain the current situation.

At present, the various subsidiaries of DreamWorks are developing quite rapidly. Among them, the subsidiaries that rely on channels are steadily advancing rapidly around the world, following the company's footsteps.

No company's profits are growing at a rate of more than 10% every year.

Nowadays, there are no big agents in the world, and they are basically replaced by Mongolian direct sales. The effect of this is also amazing. Without middlemen to make the difference, it is difficult to make money!

Take the DreamWorks toy company as an example. In the past, this person basically took away 30% of the profits from agents in various regions around the world. But now this part belongs to DreamWorks itself, and the profits are

It is reflected directly.

Of course, DreamWorks still has agents, but these are places that DreamWorks itself is unwilling to venture into. In some places, the market is not yet mature at all. We need to wait for some people to develop the market first.

If you enter again then, the effect will be better.

As long as Zhao Hong knows her company well, she usually doesn't care much about small details. My sister handles them very well.

Over the years, his elder sister has become very handy with the company's affairs. In addition, in the past year, she has recruited or promoted a large number of outstanding employees of the company from all over the world to occupy important positions.

This resulted in the company's affairs being handled more smoothly. Except for major decisions, everything was executed well, which made Zhao Hong feel more at ease.

"Chairman, we have almost completed the preliminary preparations for the movie. It is estimated that it will be completed in another half month, and the filming will be started by then."

"How are the actors preparing?"
