""Pacific Rim" set a box office record for Chinese-language films in its first week, 2.6 billion, and is expected to become the first movie to break 1 billion."
Pop-up news popped up on the computer screen. Lu Fei was absent-minded and focused entirely on his phone call with Sun Hongjun.
"Mr. Lu, as we expected, Samsung was unwilling to let Fuxin invest in AMSL and voted for the Middle East consortium."
Sun Hongjun's tone was full of excitement.
"How many shares do we hold?" Lu Fei asked.
"ASML gave 15% to Intel, Intel subscribed for 15%, and gave 5% to Samsung, but only 3%, and 7% to TSMC. TSMC did not subscribe for all, but only 5%." Sun Hongjun reported truthfully.
"Originally, the subscription share that was planned to be given to us was only 5%, but ASML asked us if we had the intention to take the shares that TSMC and Samsung did not want?"
"4%, which adds up to 9%."
Lu Fei touched his chin.
"It is expected that an additional US$700 million will be needed."
Sun Hongjun said the total investment was US$0.8 billion.
"Money is not a problem. We and the UAE have no shortage. The problem is board seats and priority in purchasing lithography machines."
Lu Fei raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky.
"AMSL has said that the number of board seats can be increased from 1 to 2, but the order of procurement will put the Middle East consortium ahead of Samsung at most, but TSMC in the first place and Intel in the second place cannot change no matter what." Sun Hongjun was very happy.
It's helpless.
Lu Fei pondered for a while, "That's enough. At least from fourth to third, we can get the lithography machine ahead of Samsung."
"Mr. Lu, it's strange to say that after Samsung rejected us, it hopes to continue to maintain a long-term technical cooperation relationship with Fuxin. It is willing to jointly develop the next 28nm to 14nm process technology, and the conditions given are very generous."
Sun Hongjun seriously expressed Samsung’s sincerity in cooperation.
"Oh, Samsung is in a hurry, it's in a hurry."
Lu Fei smiled coldly.
"Yes, Samsung Optoelectronics has photolithography machines, but without technological leaders in advanced processes, the gap will only widen."
Sun Hongjun also gloated.
"So no matter how generous you are, we won't pay attention to you."
Lu Fei changed the topic, "Old Sun, you informed Zhang Zhongmou that our Fuxin investment failed, and TSMC should fulfill its promise and authorize the technical data on lithography machines to Fuxin and ASML.
I want to help convince you."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
"By the way, what is AMSL's opinion on these?"
"We tested AMSL in the name of a Middle East consortium, and the answer we got was that it was impossible for AMSL to hand over core technical data and patents to Fuxin, but at the second level, there are less important and sensitive technical patents, which should be no problem.
"
Sun Hongjun smacked his lips and said, "Mr. Lu, TSMC and ASML are so straightforward, is there any fraud?"
"The reason why AMSL and TSMC readily agreed to license the technical data and drawings of the lithography machine to us is because, in addition to asking for money, they are convinced that we cannot break through the core technical difficulties of the lithography machine." Lu Fei's eyes flickered.
He said, "For example, this optical lens, if Zeiss jams the lens, it thinks it can jam us."
"Mr. Lu, then their wishful thinking was completely wrong, and it was a big mistake!" Sun Hongjun said unconvinced.
The optical lens is the most expensive and complex component of the entire lithography machine, involving optics, mechanics, computers, and electronics. Although there are only more than 20 lenses, the design is extremely difficult, but
Leica, Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and optical companies invested by Logic have been able to achieve domestic replacement of 90nm.
Although there is still a huge gap with Zeiss and Nikon.
"Well, leave this matter to Dr. Yin."
Lu Fei thought about it and knocked on the table.
"It's okay, he is a professional on a technical level."
After Sun Hongjun finished speaking, Lu Fei then told him to hurry up the construction of Singapore's wafer foundry super base and the progress of independent research and development of immersion lithography machines, which can still last four to five years.
As long as we can break through the immersion DUV lithography machine before the sanctions, the 7nm and above process technology will never be stuck again!
"Hoo~"
Lu Fei took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes.
At this time, the sound of "ding dong" came from the stereo, and messages from Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, and Jing Tian were received on WeChat, all asking him:
"Are you coming to the "Pacific Rim" celebration party?"
…………
"Pacific Rim" continued its strong box office performance in its first week, and has been making great progress. In its second week, it has surpassed "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which has more than 300 million yuan, and "The Golden Prince", which has only 400 million yuan.
But online word-of-mouth reviews are mixed.
Those who belittle "Pacific Rim" are the same as those who belittled "Source Code". They are all clichés. It is nothing more than "just a very ordinary Hollywood science fiction movie" and "it is labeled as hard science fiction but it is Ultraman fighting monsters."
Pseudo-sci-fi with no logic", "Is this the highest benchmark for Chinese science-fiction movies?"...
He was praised even more, and he was praised to the heavens.
"The first truly Chinese science fiction blockbuster!"
"Originally, I went for Uncle Long Zeng Li, but ended up watching the mecha monster instead."
“The biggest fireworks during the Lunar New Year period.”
"A masterpiece that has made a huge leap in the Chinese film industry!"
Netizens thought they had exaggerated enough, but they did not expect that the state media, especially Yangma, would report it in endless articles.
Defined as "a milestone masterpiece of Chinese science fiction movies"!
"Pacific Rim" has once again broken the circle. The composition of movie fans has expanded from teenagers to all ages. The statistics do not lie. Meituan's ticketing system shows that the movie tickets in the past week have been almost sold out, except for midnight shows, morning shows and other junk shows.
.
It has become a phenomenon-level blockbuster movie in the year-end Lunar New Year period. Because of the gambling-style tiered box office split, theaters have increased their budgets and continued to pour film scheduling resources into "Pacific Rim."
Even during the Han and Tang dynasties, Feimao's flagship store sold derivatives such as posters, figures, commemorative manuals, assembled models, etc., with sales ranging from hundreds to thousands, or even exceeding tens of thousands.
"Pacific Rim" accounted for nearly 70% of the Lunar New Year box office, and in its second week, the box office already exceeded 4.8 billion.
On the other hand, "Thirteen Hairpins", which had high hopes, was thought to be the first film in the history of Chinese-language films to break the 1 billion mark, but it encountered an unprecedented failure. If it were not for Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Weiping would have been so anxious that he would have cursed.
At the moment, "Pacific Rim" is the most favored "good boy". It has received the extension key from the film bureau, but it seems that it is not necessary, because in the third week, it lived up to expectations——
The cumulative box office of "Pacific Rim" reached 1.2 billion RMB.
It has earned more than 500 million U.S. dollars domestically. Relying on the box office appeal of Cheng Long and Zeng Li, it has successively earned a total of about 200 million U.S. dollars in more than 30 countries and regions around the world.
There is no doubt that it stands proudly at the pinnacle of Chinese-language films!
Such an astonishing box office has greatly shocked the entertainment industry and film and television companies. They can't help but ask themselves: Are science fiction movies really so profitable?
Looking at the skyrocketing stock prices during the Han and Tang Dynasties, film and television giants such as China Film, Huayi, Enlight, and Bona focused on heavy industry films and the celebration banquet of "Pacific Rim."
Everyone hopes to cooperate with Han and Tang!
The moonlight was sultry, and the dark sky had few clouds.
"Wrong, wrong, Sissi, wear this low-cut dress." Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter in the mirror, with her hair tied up and wearing a pink skirt, not mixed with other colors, pink and tender, very pink.
It's pure and adds a bit of girlish spirit.
"Mom, mine is not big, why are you wearing this?"
Liu Yifei raised her hand when she saw the deep V black dress.
"What do you know! You can wear it if you are told to. You are not allowed to show it to the fans. It is for Mr. Lu. I forgot what Yang Mi was wearing at the last celebration party. No matter what she wears this time
None of them can be compared.”
Liu Xiaoli looked like she hated iron.
"Even if I wear it, I can't be bigger than her. She is the biggest, and he doesn't like me wearing it either."
Liu Yifei wore a snow-white mink velvet shawl.
"You don't even have a boyfriend until now, how do you know what men like." Liu Xiaoli said stubbornly.
"He is not an ordinary man. I know him better than you do. He likes me dressed like this and doesn't like that kind of coquettish bitch!"
Liu Yifei posed several poses in front of the mirror.
"It's up to you, but you must cherish this opportunity."
Liu Xiaoli repeatedly reminded her that the last time we met, she got the film contracts of "Four Famous Catchers" and "Tongque Terrace". This time...
The mother and daughter came to the hotel where the celebration banquet was held with great anticipation. There were a lot of luxury cars and people at the door.
The cold wind was howling, but the entertainment reporters, regardless of the cold, gathered together to take pictures of the invited guests, using their flashlights non-stop.
"Kakakaka."
The camera was filming Liu Yifei wildly. She was posing as usual, but suddenly she saw a commotion break out in the crowd.
Many long guns and short cannons had their guns turned.
Liu Yifei glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the smile on his face immediately froze. He saw Yang Mi wearing a low-cut mermaid dress, with long hair scattered on her shoulders. She was obviously a girl in her early twenties, but she smelled like a young woman.
Liu Shishi, who was with her, was wearing a black leather jacket. He was cool and cool, with a feminine figure. The two of them looked very orange together.
"snort!"
With all his attention taken away, Liu Yifei rolled his eyes calmly, not wanting to stay another second, and immediately walked to the banquet hall.
"Sissi, here."
Liu Xiaoli waved. At this time, she was getting close to Zhong Lifang, Chang Jihong, Tang Danian and other Han and Tang executives with a smile.
Although Liu Yifei didn't like this kind of occasion, he thought that Liu Xiaoli would not hesitate to lose face and suppress her petty temper in order to fight for resources for him, laughing and toasting with him.
"Sissi, Shishi, Mimi is over there. Go and have a few drinks with them. They are all pretty girls, so you have to come and go often."
Hearing Chang Jihong's words, Liu Yifei felt a hundred unwillingnesses in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and slowly approach Yang Mi and the two.
He saw them turning their backs to him and muttering.
"Tiantian got a big win this time with Sister Zeng Li!"
Master Liu fiddled with the small pendant of the black collar around his neck.
"Yes, it is said that Tian Tian will replace Sister Zeng Li as the female lead in "Pacific Rim 2"." Yang Mi pouted.
"You don't have to be so sour."
Liu Shishi rolled his eyes, "Your resources are no worse than Tiantian. After "To Youth", "Xiu Chun Dao 2", "Di Renjie 2", "Back to Twenty"..."
He poked it with his elbow and said, "If "Twenty Again" is successful, didn't Sister Yuanyuan say that this big project of a Sino-Korean co-production, this little girl like you will be the main force."
"Hehe, isn't that why I am the Koi Goddess's best friend and am blessed by the Koi Goddess?"
Yang Mi smiled and hugged her waist.
Looking at Liu Shishi and Yang Mi chatting and laughing, and then thinking about Jing Tian's career in Hollywood, Liu Yifei felt the bitter wine in his throat and his heart ached.
Although with the support of Lu Fei and Zeng Li, the embarrassing situation of lack of film contracts was finally ended, and the "Tongque Terrace" and "Four Famous Catchers" series were received, but after all, they were only investments from the Han and Tang Dynasties, not produced by the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Only products produced in the Han and Tang dynasties must be considered high-quality products!
Seeing that Liu Shishi is at the peak of her power, the Koi Goddess is in great demand from the beginning of spring to the end of the year. Last year she had "Jingxin" and this year she has "The Princess". She is still the top four actresses.
This year’s Golden Eagle Goddess is the proof!
Yang Mi and Jing Tian will follow closely behind, starring in "The Legend of Ancient Swords" and "Nirvana in Fire", which are also expected to premiere at the beginning of the year.
Why!
Why can they get more favor from him!
Obviously my feelings for Lu Fei are no less than theirs! And there is definitely not as much interest mixed in as theirs!
"correct!"
Yang Mi didn't notice that among the crowd behind her, there was a pair of resentful and angry eyes, staring straight at them.
"What?"
Master Liu's cheeks were slightly tipsy.
"This time I discussed with Tiantian to make up for the belated Christmas gifts for seniors. Tiantian said, will you come?"
Yang Mi blinked slyly.
"You, you guys are too much nonsense!"
Liu Shishi thought of last year's Christmas, and Xiafei's cheeks, even though they were covered by the blush from drinking, were still shy to the naked eye.
"Just say whether you are coming or not. Otherwise, the senior will be left to me and Tiantian. As for you, you can find a way to send Christmas gifts to the senior by yourself." Yang Mi smiled playfully.
"You're going to die, and it doesn't matter whether Brother Lu can bear it or not?" Master Liu pinched the tender flesh of her arm shyly.
"You don't know senior yet, last time the two of us..."
Yang Mi winked, "Someone in particular."
"Damn it! It was my first time last time!"
Master Liu clenched his small fist and hit his best friend on the body.
he tui!
Disgusting, that's a serious Christmas gift!
Looking at the two people laughing and playing, Liu Yifei spat, but he didn't realize that his face was red and hot, and his heart was beating wildly.
At this moment, guests arrived one after another.
On the stage, a small platform was covered with a red cloth.
As the music played, the host Xie Nan came up, said an opening statement, and then reached out and uncovered the red cloth.
A string of ice sculptures representing "1 billion" suddenly appeared.
"I'd like to invite you..."
Liu Yifei looked up and saw that Cheng Long, Zeng Li, Jing Tian and other creative staff, as well as Lu Fei, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhong Lifang and others, one came on the stage from the left and the other from the right, and finally stood in front of the ice sculpture, and on the big screen behind him,
A slide pops up.
As of today, Hantang’s market value is 400 million yuan!
"Knock it on."
Lu Fei stood in the middle, looking at Gao Yuanyuan on the left and Zeng Li on the right, making eye contact, and the three of them raised the mallet and struck in tacit agreement.
"3,2,1..."
"Bang bang bang!"
The ice sculpture symbolizing the 1 billion box office was immediately smashed.
Liu Yifei looked at Lu Fei infatuatedly, and watched with amusement as Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li made secret glances at him, twisting their fingers together.
