"Forrest Gump" is a movie with a wonderful plot and outstanding special effects, especially the superb acting of lead actor Tom Hanks. Through the life experience of a small person, it unfolds a picture of modern American history.
Therefore, a good movie is a good movie, and human aesthetics are actually the same. All the teachers and students present are still intoxicated by the aftertaste.
"Classmates, let us welcome Director Li and say a few words to comment on this "Forrest Gump"?" The female teacher who hosted the show was very knowledgeable.
Amid the applause, Li Yuan walked to the screen with a smile: "I really don't have much to say. Let each person submit a 500-word review of the show!"
The whole audience burst into laughter, knowing that Li Yuan was joking.
"I can't really comment on this movie. I just watched it and haven't thought it through yet. But one thing is for sure - we saw the birth of a classic!"
"Director Li..." a student asked loudly.
"No, no, no, we are almost the same age. You can call me Xiao Li, or if you are more friendly, you can call me Yuanzi. We are communicating with peers."
"Well...Director Yuanzi, I have a question about..."
"..."
…
This internal film caused a sensation in the art circles and university circles in Beijing. In the end, it was even arranged to be screened at the Film Archive. During the weekend, several additional screenings were already held...
However, in North America, the box office of "Forrest Gump" was tepid. Because this is the most popular summer movie, and "Forrest Gump" has made several additional investments, even the director and Tom Hanks
Self-financing (as in history), which means huge budget overruns, has already become one of the biggest Hollywood productions of the year!
So it was tepid, and it turned into a box office failure.
The reason why this happens is mainly due to the contributions of various media.
In the movie review predictions before the release, whether they were negative or optimistic, they were all - a replica of "Rain Man" and an imitation of Dustin Hoffman!
How can the audience be interested? It's enough to watch one idiot, why do we need to watch a second one? Furthermore, can the acting skills be better than Dustin Hoffman's?
In other words, there is some aesthetic fatigue. "Rain Man" is better than "Forrest Gump", which suffers a bit.
The failure at the box office has in turn triggered waves of criticism. There's nothing we can do about it. The media is such a virtuous person. They have always been passive. And if you want to find faults, which movie doesn't have a lot of "flaws"?
Woolen cloth?
However, whether it is a fight or criticism, these are all matters within Hollywood. But no one expected that in the far east, there is still a large wave of investors who are always concerned...
…
After the market opened on Monday, Yeshan Qingquan's stock price jumped directly and fell to about 22 Hong Kong dollars.
"Shao Yuan, something bad is going to happen! I heard that your movie is a hit on the street, and orders have been sold out so much today that the counter was almost packed." Jerry Wu shouted angrily on the phone.
Early in the morning, Li Yuan was feeding Qiqi custard. This little boy didn't eat breakfast conscientiously, so his scarf was all over the place?
Li Yuanzheng is annoyed. It’s really hard to live without a mother at home!
When I received a call from Jerry Wu, I couldn't help but feel angry: "What the hell are you going to attack? Their whole family is going to attack the streets, and I can't even attack the streets!"
"Don't curse in front of your son!" Gu Yuqin finished busy in the kitchen and hurriedly came over to drive Li Yuan away.
In fact, Li Yuanzheng is baffled. According to his memory in his previous life, isn't "Forrest Gump" a hit? How could it be a box office failure? Besides, "Forrest Gump" was also screened several times in the capital, which is the same as in his previous life.
The original version was of the same quality and also drew unanimous praise from audiences and insiders alike?
How could it fail at the box office?
Jerry Wu was really anxious: "Young Master Yuan, please listen to what I have to say first. We are running out of ammunition. We have less than 22 mosquitoes now!"
"Huh?" Li Yuan slowly calmed down. This thing seems a bit strange, right?
Li Yuan did not know that in the original historical line, the box office performance of "Forrest Gump" was indeed not very good. But after word-of-mouth fermentation, it immediately caused a strong rebound.
However, when things go wrong, there must be evil! Coca-Cola is indeed powerful enough to suppress the stock price, but they have no ability to control the box office of Hollywood, right?
After thinking about it for a few seconds, I still couldn't figure it out.
Forget it, don’t think about it too much. But...?
Thinking of the subsequent operation, Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hehehe."
"Master Yuan, are you okay?" Jerry Wu was frightened. He heard that "Forrest Gump" failed at the box office, so Master Yuan went insane, right?
"Jerry, I will call the Bank of China and send you 100 million right away. With normal leverage, we will buy as much as you have!"
Li Yuan was not afraid at all. Because he knew very well that "Forrest Gump" not only won awards, but also created miracles at the global box office. It was just a little accident in the first few days, and he didn't care about it at all.
.
But just because of such a small accident, didn't it give me a chance?
Take advantage of low prices and make a profit! Since you want to take the initiative to send money, Brother Yuan, I am also very helpless!
But when he heard Li Yuan's words, Wu Jierui was so frightened that he almost knelt down: "Master Yuan, it's just a pallet, and you want to increase leverage?" Isn't that asking for death? Wu Jierui doesn't want to lose his job for the second time.
"It's okay. I still have follow-up funds." At this point, Li Yuan still needs to be reassured.
Jerry Wu was so anxious that he almost cried: "If you have little luck, you can't get it without leverage?" Is it a problem with follow-up funds? If it continues like this, it may only take a few days or even a few hours for a thunderstorm to happen.
"Don't worry! Follow my orders!" Li Yuan finally lost his patience. Jerry Wu is not a beauty, why should he coax her? Why not just have a pua!
mmp! Some people are just cheap!
And Wu Jierui didn't dare to persuade him any more. He sighed in his heart: "Got it! I will personally take charge of it."

…
After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan almost burst out laughing.
Is there such a good thing? He actually gave himself such an opportunity? When he was most short of cash flow, the Hong Kong stock market became a timely gift?
Is this how his equity in Yeshan Qingquan increased significantly again and again?
This is really annoying. I no longer want to be the big boss of Yeshan Qingquan?
Alas! The ancients said - nine times out of ten life will be unsatisfactory! As expected, even if you want to make less money...
Li Yuan was feeling sad about Versailles in spring and autumn when he heard Gu Yuqin yelling: "Did you hear that? Take this nasty guy away! I'll wash the scarf first."
Okay, okay! My wife is the boss at home, and we men are at a disadvantage!
"You don't need to wash it, right? Don't you still have to eat fruit puree and vegetable puree?"
"You have to wash it when it's dirty! Do you wash your hands once and eat for three days?" Gu Yuqin said disgustedly.
Li Yuan and Qiqi looked at each other. They had already felt the murderous intention of the tigress. Let's go! If we can't afford to offend, why can't we hide?
"Don't go! I haven't wiped my face yet."
Lie down!
…
In the stock market on Monday, the stock price of Yeshan Qingquan staged an astonishing scene of three ups and downs. Finally, with the strong support of Li Yuan's capital and leverage, it barely held the 20 Hong Kong dollar mark.
As Tuesday passed, the long and short sides were still fighting repeatedly around HK$20.
Finally, another news came from North America. The box office of "Forrest Gump" remained sluggish on Tuesday.
When it comes to judging a film's box office, the first weekend's box office is indeed very important, but the box office on next Monday and next Tuesday is equally important, and can generally predict the total box office of the film.
Because on a working day, the daily box office on Monday will definitely drop sharply. But a drop of about 30% is considered excellent, which proves the strong box office outlook; a drop of 50% is considered qualified. Generally, it is similar to the predicted result; a drop of 70%? Then?
Just wait for the bloodbath!
Of course, the type of movie also has an impact on the box office. For example, when fans want a movie, they usually only watch the first two weeks. Once the fans’ enthusiasm is exhausted, there will be nothing to follow.
There are three major commercial film types - comedy, action and romance. As long as there is a phenomenon, the box office prediction will be no longer predictable. Just watch it take off! For example: "Titanic".
And "Forrest Gump" fell by 53% on Monday and Tuesday? It's barely qualified!
But the original box office was a hit, and the decline was barely acceptable? Wouldn’t it still be a hit?
Especially Tuesday!
In the North American movie market, Tuesday is a very special day - half price all day long!
Therefore, the daily box office on this day may not be very high, but the enthusiasm of the audience can be judged.
If most viewers feel that they can watch it or not, they will have this mentality when encountering half-price on Tuesdays - then go watch it! This way you can judge the popularity of the film.
But now you can’t even be popular among passers-by?
On Wednesday, the stock price finally began to plummet. At the close of the day, it dropped to HK$15.49?
…
"Baby, how is the baby? Does he miss grandma?" My mother Zhang Zhen called me from all the way away. Is that what she called her? It's easy to get confused... right?
"What can he do? He looks like he has ADHD. Now he has successfully replaced your mother's position. Hahaha!" Li Yuan thought to himself, the 100 yuan reward was really worth it.
"She? Can she take care of a child well? She is still a child herself." Zhang Zhen mumbled.
"Mom, how have you been playing with Uncle Jiang these days?"
"It's very good. Your friend A Dong is also very good. He stays with us every day. I also take Ling Ling with me, and we even travel long distance with Ling Ling's mother. Such a good girl, but you are such a frivolous person..."
"Okay!" Li Yuan quickly changed the subject, "As long as it's okay."
However, Zhang Zhen hesitated for a moment: "Yuanyuan, that Adong is pretty good in other aspects, but he keeps asking me what stocks he owns? What movie box office he does, and he's already got his wife's book? What does that mean?"
"?" Li Yuan was stunned, "Oh, then tell him - the market outlook is strong!"
Although Tie Zhidong was a gangster, he was still very respectful to Li Yuan. He still couldn't be cold to his heart.
"I understand. The market outlook is strong! Um...what do you mean?"
"Mom! Go ask Uncle Jiang! Alas!"
…
Having said that, even Li Yuan can't bear to see the stock price drop like this. Stimulated by the appearance of the World Cup, the stock price has more than doubled before. Now it has not only fallen back, but it has also fallen below the price before the rise?
Of course Li Yuan knows that the stock market and stock investors are absolutely irrational. But don't be so exaggerated and aggressive?
Even if you are really bankrupt, it is personal bankruptcy! It has nothing to do with Yeshan Qingquan! Yeshan Qingquan is still a high-quality listed company in the beverage industry!
In this case, let’s get going! Li Yuan immediately notified Bank of China to use up all the 400 million unsecured credit line!
He didn't believe it anymore. Let's see who can persist to the end!
That's right! That's "Forrest Gump"!
Thursday was another day filled with smoke. Both the bulls and the bears reached a white-hot state.
"Li! I'm Jeff from Coca-Cola. Have you thought about it? We can buy it at HK$18 per share?" On the phone, Jeff made no secret of his pride.
However, Li Yuan is also "out of ammunition and food" here. He has used up all the funds on hand. Now he is waiting for the box office results of the second weekend.
In this case, let’s chat nonsense with Jeff!
"Jeff, don't you feel that you are in danger? You Coca-Cola have bought too many short selling orders, so you are not afraid that I will still have follow-up funds? I heard that there are many venture capital investors waiting at the gate of Parallel Line?"
"Hahaha!" Jeff laughed, "Li, maybe your information is wrong. They should be waiting for you to go bankrupt and get the equity of your parallel line at a low price, right?"
"Whatever you say. Anyway, if I'm bankrupt, I won't give you Coca-Cola."
"Don't be so impulsive. We are still friends. Wouldn't it be better to be friends with Coca-Cola? We have never thought about killing them all, and we are not a group of vampires on Wall Street. Let's do it! 19 Hong Kong dollars, you can use our Coca-Cola reputation to give you
The...asset reorganization releases some good news. At least it can be sold at a higher price. How about it?"
"Haha. Not so good! Anyway, I have already advised you. Let me give you the inside story! "Forrest Gump" will be a box office hit soon."
"Hahaha!" Jeff laughed again, "Aren't you crazy? The thing you are most worried about now is that you won't be able to survive Friday! Be honest! Lee! Surrender! We can leave you the last
Decent.”
"Then we'll see! Haha."
"We'll see! Haha."
"..."
Friday finally arrived, the last trading day for the stock market. Throughout the morning, the stock price plummeted, and by the time it closed at noon, it closed at the lowest price of HK$12.34.
At this time, the entire Hong Kong Stock Exchange is paying attention to this stock. Many people are talking about it - it will definitely not survive this time, right? It is very likely to fall below the 10 Hong Kong dollar mark in the afternoon! That will almost force Li Yuan
In desperation?
Let me pick! Who is so cruel? He doesn’t even leave Brother Yuan a way to survive?
However, not long after, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange issued an announcement - Yeshan Qingquan announced the latest dividend plan, giving out 3 7 shares for every 10 shares, and the placement price was HK$8.5. Due to the announcement of major events, Yeshan Qingquan suspended trading for half a day!
