If you can't buy it in stock, customers will make a reservation.
The film company has a hard time accepting bookings. You must know that they have previously produced two million pieces of various peripherals, including dolls and props. Each doll sells for an average of five US dollars, which is a sales volume of ten million US dollars.
The results were good, they were all sold out in just two days.
They underestimated the influence of this movie, especially the novel sci-fi approach that made the interstellar struggle so realistic.
Even the Kate Gate and the others were shocked, let alone ordinary people.
What you see for the first time always leaves the deepest impression on people. Many people watch the movie several times, and they really feel like they never get tired of it.
Especially those who like movies, and especially this one, many people bought more than one of the peripheral products, even if they didn’t eat, and many people bought one of each peripheral product.
Including weapons, starships, etc.
How can such two million items be sold?
In less than a week, the pre-orders exceeded 10 million pieces. The film company was excited and invited more toy manufacturers to work overtime for production.
They need to deliver these products to customers as soon as possible.
Ten million pieces, mostly large ones, and the sales from these predetermined orders alone can reach 60 million.
Including the previous more than 10 million, that is to say, the sales volume of product peripherals has reached more than 70 million.
It's simply terrifying.
Time has passed slowly, and the US box office total of this shocking and epoch-making science fiction movie has finally been released.
One hundred and fifty-six million.
Strongly topped the box office championship.
The North American box office soon followed, and it was no surprise that it exceeded 200 million. Canada has a small population, but it contributed a lot to the box office. They also liked this movie very much and were shocked by it.
It is still being released in Europe, and the response is very good, and the box office is increasing every day. It has not yet started in South America, and the early publicity is very good. To promote it, Loach went there in person, and the audience's expectations are great.
Over in Asia, several places with better box office are preparing, and the total box office is expected to exceed 10 million US dollars.
Calculating it this way, there is no problem if the global box office exceeds 300 million U.S. dollars. It depends on whether it can exceed 400 million U.S. dollars.
No matter what the final numbers are, the film will set a record at the box office.
Chu Lingyun's film company made a lot of money from this.
The movie did well at the box office and made money. Chu Lingyun was not stingy. The company directly rewarded him with three million. The director, screenwriter and starring actors were all rewarded, but the rewards were not particularly large. The total amount was one million.
The biggest contributor to the success of this movie is the hard work of the film company and Chu Lingyun's unbridled creativity.
Excluding rewards and movie theater dividends, Chu Lingyun's final share was over 70 million.
Chu Lingyun directly distributed dividends to Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen according to this amount.
The two of them had a 30% share, and they took away 20 million US dollars, which was a little over 10 million each. Fortunately for Ni Loach, his assets had already exceeded 10 million, and Shen Hanwen had become a millionaire in such a stupid way. Millionaire.
He didn't even know what happened, but he became a rich man.
Including his shares in the Loach TV Factory, his small TV station, previous dividends, etc., Shen Hanwen's current net worth is about to reach 20 million US dollars.
Ni Loach and Chu Yuan asked him to treat him, but Shen Hanwen didn't care at all. He chose a place and ate as he pleased.
"Team leader, I'd like to toast you, thank you."
Shen Hanwen entertained guests, and Chu Lingyun arrived. The place chosen by Ni Loach was either a particularly good restaurant, or Liu Chengzhu's, and the wine was also the best domestic liquor.
Shen Hanwen took the initiative to stand up and toast. He was not stupid. He understood that the team leader was specifically supporting him, otherwise he would not have made so much money.
Ten million dollars, he didn't even know how to spend it.
At first, he didn't have much idea about ten million US dollars, he just knew that it was a lot of money. Loach understood his situation and converted the ten million US dollars into oceans for him.
Almost 30 million oceans, 5,000 oceans per box, a total of 6,000 boxes.
Not to mention one house, it can't fit in even ten houses.
Thinking this way, Shen Hanwen was really shocked. These are all his, alone?
And it's just the first dividend from the movie box office.
There is more to follow.
This time, the box office share is from the United States, and then there will be box office shares from other countries. Except for Canada, the share for other countries is a little less, but no matter how small it is, the minimum share is 20%.
Calculated at US$100 million, it is a share of more than US$20 million.
Moreover, their overseas box office revenue is more than 100 million, with a minimum of 150 million.
With a share of 30 million US dollars, Shen Hanwen can get another 4.5 million in dividends.
Taking into account the brand factor, Chu Lingyun only gave them box office dividends, but not peripherals. If he had given them peripherals, Shen Hanwen would have become a millionaire just by relying on this movie series.
"Brothers, you don't need to be so polite. Now that there is no war, you have worked hard to get through the war. It's time to enjoy the blessings."
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Shen Hanwen was like a loach, he had been by his side from the beginning, and he was loyal and loyal, going through life and death.
Chu Lingyun would never treat his own people badly.
Chu Yuan is his brother-in-law, and he also owns shares in the pharmaceutical company. According to the current market value of the pharmaceutical company, Chu Yuan has assets of over 100 million, and he will not treat Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen badly.
Especially Shen Hanwen, a reckless man who could lose all his money on his own without the support of himself and Ni Loach.
"Team leader, thank you too."
After Shen Hanwen made a toast, Ni Loach hurriedly stood up. Although he already had assets worth over ten million, he was equally happy to be able to earn tens of millions at a time.
He and Lily loved these gadgets.
Now they have bought a big villa and are ambitious to start a business and earn more than ten million yuan, which will be of great help to their future development.
Loach is confident to make his company bigger and stronger.
"You deserve this. You did a good job this time."
Chu Lingyun raised his glass, and Ni Loach was in charge of publicity. He did a really good job. He had a share of the credit for the high box office.
But it was Chu Lingyun who made the most money this time.
It's not just box office share.
Tens of millions is nothing to Chu Lingyun, but if this movie can be made into a series and form a separate brand in the future, the value will be high, and it can bring Chu Lingyun at least several billion dollars in profits in the future.
And this is just Star Wars, how many other brands are there?
Chu Lingyun doesn't need to do too much, just cut off a few random ones, like Marvel.
Marvel is having a hard time nowadays. There are many voices opposing comics in the United States, believing that comics are harmful. Marvel is now on the verge of collapse. Chu Lingyun has arranged for Liu Shukui to contact people at Marvel, especially Mr. Stan.
Chu Lingyun will not directly dominate Marvel. Marvel is not important, the key is the content inside.
He only needs to occupy the shares first, wait for all these heroes to be born, and finally acquire them in one fell swoop.
Now it is equivalent to raising them, slowly raising them first and then talking about it. For Chu Lingyun, the money to raise them is simply insignificant.
The Spring Festival is coming. Ever since Chu Lingyun went to the United States to celebrate the Spring Festival, she has never been back to Taipei in these years.
However, the welfare benefits of the inspection office have not changed. With Chu Lingyun and Zheng Guangtao gone, the people in the inspection office have once again had a good year.
The Inspection Office's factory is very profitable, and Yu Huaqiang is doing very well. He plans to open a branch factory after the year to earn more extra money for the Inspection Office.
This year he received the largest dividend.
Chu Lingyun once promised him a 5% dividend every year. The total profit of the inspection office this year reached 800,000 US dollars. His dividend was 10,000 US dollars. Plus internal rewards and so on, he almost got it this year.
Fifty thousand dollars.
Not to mention in Taipei, even in the United States, fifty thousand dollars is not a small amount.
The per capita annual income in the United States last year was only over 2,000 US dollars, which was twenty times that of Americans.
Even in later generations, fifty thousand dollars is still a lot.
According to this ratio, future generations of Americans will earn around forty thousand dollars per year, which is twenty times the equivalent of $800,000. This is indeed a lot of money.
The inspection office was happy, but Qi Limin was not happy.
After the two groups of agents failed, he activated another two groups of agents himself. Later, when he learned that an important figure was going to Southeast Asia for a meeting, he plotted to assassinate him. Needless to say, he failed again.
This failure made the old man very disappointed with him. It is not easy for him to see the old man now.
This was absolutely unimaginable before. How could he ever go to see the old man without seeing him?
Even if the old man is really busy with something, he will receive him immediately after finishing his work.
Now, no matter what happens, I rarely see him anymore.
Qi Limin already has a huge sense of crisis. He has offended too many people. Once he completely loses power, his death will follow.
If nothing else, the eldest son and Chu Lingyun would definitely kill him.
Especially Chu Lingyun.
He did not come back to the United States, but his influence was still there. Qi Limin heard that the old man specifically mentioned Chu Lingyun during the meeting before the Chinese New Year, and even publicly praised Chu Lingyun.
It is said that Chu Lingyun contributed a lot to the construction of Taipei and even brought an investment group directly from the United States.
Chu Lingyun has indeed attracted a lot of investment in the United States. This is something that Lang Youqing and his concubine are interested in. If someone is willing to invest, Chu Lingyun will introduce it to the eldest son.
Taiwan is all Chinese, and its development will benefit its own people.
As for the military, even if the development is not good, will they reduce military spending?
When we look at China, we know that it is simply not possible.
Time passed slowly. After the Chinese New Year, the sales of Star Wars peripheral products were still booming, and it was not until April that it gradually slowed down.
In the past few months, it can be said that the film company has made a lot of money through peripheral sales.
The final sales volume was over 100 million, which really shocked many people's jaws.
It was unimaginable before that they could make no less than the box office share by relying only on the sales of peripherals. Many film companies followed their example and began to vigorously develop peripherals in an attempt to reopen a new way of making money. However, their sales were obviously unable to match Chu's.
Compared with Lingyun's side.
The main reason is that Star Wars movies are so influential.
Coupled with the strong ideological and science fiction elements, it has become a hot seller.
The global box office of Star Wars has also come to an end, with a total box office of more than 396 million, but it failed to break 400 million, which is really a pity.
But this is the first one. According to Chu Lingyun’s plan, this is a series of movies.
There are not many movies in this movie series in later generations. This time Chu Lingyun is planning to develop a few more movies, striking while the iron is hot, and the second Star Wars movie will be filmed this year.
This time more science fiction elements are added.
And this time the investment was even bigger. Chu Lingyun directly allocated an investment of 20 million U.S. dollars. The last investment was 12 million U.S. dollars, and an additional 2 million U.S. dollars was added. This time it was a direct increase of 6 million U.S. dollars.
And it is an initial investment.
Out of 20 million, the cost of publicity reached 5 million.
Fifteen million is the production cost. This movie will be more sophisticated and have a better story, especially in terms of special effects. Chu Lingyun told the entire crew, don’t be afraid of spending money, just make a high-quality product.
The 15 million must be spent. You can risk it and provide them with additional investment later, but you can never leave any money left.
The special effects of later generations were expensive, and the special effects of today are the same.
For example, if you want to shoot a star battleship with good effects, you must make extremely sophisticated models, create appropriate scenes, shoot these models with multiple cameras, and assemble them into a realistic look in the movie.
As well as the interior of the battleship, etc., all require sophisticated production to achieve the desired effect.
The investment is big, and a lot of new-style props have been added this time. After the movie is broadcast, I am afraid that the cost can be recovered just by relying on the movie peripherals.
People in the film company were even more happy, and everyone in the company once again worked for this movie.
Nowadays no one says they only know how to produce small projects.
They can also do large-scale productions, and do them better. So far, no one can compare with Star Wars in the field of science fiction films. This is their confidence.
Japan, Tokyo.
Karl is at the airport, sitting in a jeep. His military uniform is very conspicuous, with shining general stars.
Chu Lingyun is coming today.
When Chu Lingyun came to Japan, Mike would personally drive Chu Lingyun away whenever he came to pick him up at the airport. Carl wanted to imitate Mike, but he was a little uneasy.
His influence and status cannot be compared with Mike.
Chu Lingyun is his boss behind the scenes, not a supporter or friend like Mike.
"Mr. Chu."
When he saw Chu Lingyun getting off the plane, Karl immediately greeted him. The difference between him and Mike could be seen just from the greeting.
If it were Mike, how could he be so polite? He would hug Chu Lingyun regardless of whether he agreed or not.
Then pull him away and enjoy the comfort of Mike's racing.
"Go back and talk."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Carl happily took Chu Lingyun into the car. Unfortunately, unlike Mike, they were the only two in the car.
Chu Yuan followed and sat next to Chu Lingyun.
Carl didn't dare to race like Mike and drove the car honestly. Instead, he looked like a driver. He didn't learn from Mike at all, but he imitated him.
In Japan, the number of members of Genshin Shrine has exceeded 500.
Yuanshen Club has grown very strong, and Chu Lingyun is going to take a pause to digest the existing members, and then recruit new members after they grow.
Pausing for a moment and providing more promotions to members can enhance the sense of identity and loyalty of all members.
Blindly recruiting new members is not necessarily a good thing.
