Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three A movie makes Gao Jin a god
As of early morning, the score of [Counterattack] reached 8.8 points. The score did not drop but increased by 0.1 points. Consumers generally gave it favorable reviews.
Many people left comments saying that this is a conscientious domestic film, the special effects are impeccable, and it is definitely a Hollywood blockbuster standard.
At noon the next day, the box office of China, Xiangjiang City, Taiwan Province, and Southeast Asia was released.
Tianchao, including the pre-sale amount of Starlight Cinema, has a total box office of more than 146 million.
Xiangjiang City, more than 6.4 million
Taiwan Province, more than 22 million

Singapore, US$460,000.
Thailand, US$270,000.
Seven countries in the Middle East, with a total box office of US$1.97 million.
Due to the time difference between Europe and the Americas, there are no statistics. However, just from Asia’s results, it can be predicted that the film "Counterattack" is destined to be a big seller.
The total box office in Asia on the first day was over 30 million U.S. dollars, which is not a bad result. The next step will be to see the box office in the second day and Europe and the United States.
The major domestic media have given it crazy reports. It is a textbook for domestic science fiction movies, a benchmark for science fiction movies, and a conscientious movie.
Wait, all kinds of praises are coming to Starlight Film and Television Company.
Correspondingly, Gao Jin also began to become famous as a director. Titles such as a new generation director and a future world-class director began to be assigned to Gao Jin.
Gao Jin behaved calmly. Only Shan Xiangyun knew that Gao Jin was very happy. This time, it could be seen from the fact that Gao Jin tortured himself until three o'clock in the morning last night.
I don’t know who I learned so much planning from, but my back, legs, and neck hurt from all the stress.
One can imagine how excited Gao Jin was.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the box office results of the film "Counterattack" in Europe and the United States came out.
The total box office in Europe reached US$6.27 million, and the box office in North America reached US$9.37 million.
The four major film review websites rated it as high as 8.7 points.
This is only the first day. With such a high rating, we can definitely look forward to the next performance.
(For the convenience of reading, subsequent box office statistics will be processed on the same day)
The next day, the total box office in Asia hit a new high, reaching more than 50 million US dollars.
The total box office in Europe reached more than 12 million US dollars.
The box office in the Americas reached more than 16 million US dollars.
It continued to rise, and the global box office exceeded the $100 million mark.
The third day
The total box office in Asia reached a new high, reaching more than 60 million US dollars.
The total box office in Europe reached more than 24 million US dollars.
The box office in the Americas reached more than 31 million US dollars.
The fourth day, the fifth day...the box office continued to rise, and domestic media commented one after another, [Congratulations to Gao Jin for making a phenomenal film]
Congratulations to Starlight Pictures for producing a landmark science fiction film.
All kinds of compliments and praises rained down on Gao Jinchao Starlight Film and Television Company like raindrops.
Zheng Shenzhi directly initiated the peripheral licensing and authorized the "Counterattack" movie peripherals for a one-time package worth 30 million to Xiangjiang Wufu Trading Company.
The legal representative of Wufu Trading Company is Guo Tao, and the various implications are intriguing.
Wufu Trading Company then licensed the model of the alien mothership to a toy company, and the doll models of starring actors such as Hu Ge and Zhang Jin were also licensed.
When signing the contract with the toy company, the retail price is stipulated, and the selling price must not exceed the specified price. Volume wins.
This is just the imperial capital of China.
For other countries, Wufu Trading Company provides one-time authorization, with prices ranging from high to low, with the cheapest one costing 2 million RMB.
The license has a time limit. After one year, you are no longer allowed to produce and sell it. If you want to make back the cost of purchasing the license, you must use low-price promotion methods.
No one knows how much Wufu Trading Company made in the end.
Zhou Zongyan was called to the morning market by Gao Jin. Knowing that Gao Jin was happy, she was very cooperative and did not dampen Gao Jin's interest. Over the next few days, Zhou Zongyan's whole person became extremely fresh.
After staying for a few days, Zhou Zongyan left. She couldn't stand Gao Jin's enthusiasm anymore. If she continued to be tortured like this, her figure would definitely be greatly out of shape.
Zhou Zongyan left, and Gao Jin's excitement had not passed yet. He had no choice but to vent his energy to the gym.
Time passed slowly, and Gao Jin slowly returned to normal. A month later, the film "Fight Back" was released worldwide.
Total box office, more than 1.7542 billion US dollars.
It directly refreshed the box office history of a single movie in China and became the highest-grossing movie in China.
The gap with the second place is more than 300 million.
The title of a billionaire director has been attached to Gao Jin, and one movie made Gao Jin a god.
Many fans left messages, hoping that Starlight Pictures could launch the second part of "Counterattack". The end of the first step clearly laid the foundation for the second part.
In just a few days, the expectations for the second part of "Counterattack" have reached the first place.
On this day, Gao Jin issued a statement on Weibo that he has no plans to launch the second part of "Counterattack" in a short time.
I am the chairman of a group company, and my focus is on the corporate side. Making movies is just for fun. I will consider the second one when I have more time.
As soon as this statement was announced, the number of retweets increased sharply.
The Weibo message section is in chaos, with all kinds of rumors floating around.
First floor, Wan Piao, you have shot a phenomenal movie, it is Wan Piao, how can you let those so-called great directors live, hang yourself!
On the second floor, I have seen people showing off, but I have never seen people showing off in such a fresh and refined manner.
Third floor, come and shoot a movie, we really need muscular men.
Fourth floor, come and shoot a movie. No one will reject you among the beauties in the film and television industry.
.............................
For a while, the demons were dancing wildly, and it could be described as chaos.
Ordinary people don't feel it, but other film and television companies in China are very uncomfortable at the moment.
The situation in the past was that our group made bad movies. There was no worst, only worse. Anyway, consumers had no choice and they made money no matter what.
It's different now.
Once such a high-quality "Counterattack" movie comes out, the quality of the film you shoot needs to be improved. If it is a bad movie, many people will probably not watch it.
This is not unfounded worry by the film company. After the [Counterattack] movie was canceled, not one of the more than 20 newly released films scored more than 4 points.
Moreover, it also attracted a lot of criticism, which made many directors and film and television companies start to doubt their life.
Just like the martial arts novels of the time, the fantasy and cultivation novels always turn the world upside down, and the kind of one-by-one martial arts fights immediately make people lose interest.
[Counterattack] The film is so excellent, with positive energy, main theme, and commercial elements perfectly integrated together.
After seeing this, people's tastes have become picky. If they are used to eating high-end ingredients, they will no longer want to eat Chuanchuanxiang sold for 50 cents on the roadside.
If a film wants to achieve good box office results, it must produce real materials.
Another thing, although the movie "Counterattack" made history at the box office, Starlight Pictures didn't make much money.
After excluding all costs, including taxes and fees, Starlight Film and Television's net profit is only about US$100 million.
Of course, this is obvious.
How much Starlight Pictures actually makes is unknown to outsiders.
I only know that Zheng Shenzhi issued a statement that this [counterattack] brought about 500 million net profits to Starlight Film and Television Company.
As for whether the 500 million is RMB or US dollars, no one knows.
On this day, Ji Xueyi came over to report that after about a month of tug-of-war, the bank approved Ji Xueyi's resignation.
Gao Jin wanted to reassign a staff member from the key account department to Gao Jin, but Gao Jin refused on the grounds that he wanted to set up an investment company and assign dedicated personnel to make financial investments.
As for who is the person in charge of this investment company, although Gao Jin did not say it, the bank knew it well and did not mention it again.
Ji Xueyi came over, went directly to the personnel department to go through the procedures, signed a contract with Xingling Group, and became the general manager of Xingguang Investment Company.
Annual salary of 600,000 yuan and commissions.
Ji Xueyi doesn't care about annual salary, as long as she can take care of her daily expenses. As the general manager of an investment company, she relies on commissions and bonuses to make money.
The relevant company procedures are handled by the legal department, and the office floor of a nearby building is used as the residence of the investment company.
Financial personnel, legal personnel, and administrative personnel are dispatched by the headquarters, while Ji Xueyi recruits the rest of the personnel himself.
After the company procedures are completed, Xingling Group will allocate 10 billion funds to the investment company for operation.
Xingling Group handles various procedures very quickly at the morning market, and no department dares to delay things, in the words of Zhang Hongbin and Qiao Mingxian.
Anyone who dares to provide poor service to me should just leave and find someone who can do the job.
Nowadays, the work efficiency of the entire morning market administrative department is definitely ranked among the best in the country, and it is very convenient.
Within a few days, the business license and other licenses were issued. Zhou Ziru allocated 500 million to Ji Xueyi and lent 9.5 billion to the investment company.
This facilitates tax planning.
After arranging the company's affairs, Gao Jin and Zhou Ziru took a plane to Xiangjiang. After a month of investigation, Guan Hongsheng had already locked in the acquisition target.
Sheng Ye Bank, a small bank with only two branches, has an international currency settlement mechanism.
The controlling family is the Lin Wenhai family. Unfortunately, there is no successor. The two sons are good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but they are really bad at running a business and managing a bank.
The two young men lost more than 60 million yuan in business. They went to work in the bank and transferred more than 50 million yuan back and forth.
Fortunately, the Lin family was the controlling shareholder, so Lin Wenhai used money to make up for the shortfall. He also transferred his two sons out of the bank, giving each of them 10 million and driving them out of the house.
"When will you come back with a net worth of 50 million, you can eat, drink, whore and gamble as much as you want, and your family will not give you a penny." This was Lin Wenhai's exact words to his two sons.
Later, the supplementary credit cards of his two sons were stopped, and the two young men were actually kicked out of the house.
