Chapter 923 Are you interested in going to the island country with me to make a fortune?
"Well, I predict that "Forrest Gump" will make at least 400 million U.S. dollars at the box office, and it is very possible that it will exceed 500 million U.S. dollars!"
"Haha, that's good!"
Everyone burst out laughing. It’s a box office of 500 million US dollars! If it succeeds, Shengtang Company will have two movies with a box office of over 500 million US dollars. Now Shengtang Company has released a total of four movies. The first one is "Pulp Fiction", which cost 1
One million US dollars, and finally achieved a box office of more than 200 million US dollars. The second one was "Die Hard", which cost 8 million US dollars and had a box office of nearly 400 million US dollars. Then there was "Toy Story", which cost more than 80 million US dollars.
With a total box office of over 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, these three films have grossed over 1.4 billion U.S. dollars.
Now the company has two film projects, one is "Finding Nemo" and the other is Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Three". This film is also the only film in which Liu Lang is not involved in the script creation. Counting now
Liu Lang's "Forrest Gump" has another good harvest this year.
"Okay, I'll take all these and start preparations when I get back. The cost of this "Forrest Gump" won't be too high, five to six million is enough, and then it will have a box office of $500 million... Haha, it can still be done
Winning the Oscar makes me so happy!"
Lucas opened his mouth with joy, as if he was about to get the Oscar statuette.
At this time, Lin Guodong spoke from the side.
"Mr. Liu, Spielberg is also looking for you. He hopes to personally film your movie "Schindler's List"!"
"No problem, but if we are one of the producers of this movie, I believe this movie will be successful... By the way, when does he want to shoot it?"
"Well, maybe next year!"
Lin Guodong replied.
"That's good, George, this "Forrest Gump" must be filmed as soon as possible. Don't conflict with "Schindler's List", otherwise it will affect our Oscar!"
"Schindler's List" is also a good movie, with a reputation as good as "Forrest Gump". The box office is not as high as "Forrest Gump", but it still has a box office of more than 300 million. If it is released at the same time, it will divert the box office.
"Jimmy, why are you afraid that I can't defeat you?"
Lucas was a little unconvinced.
"We also invested in that movie, so of course we can't crash. Moreover, I believe that "Schindler's List" will also be a big seller. By then, our Shengtang Company will have a double blessing!"
"That's true!"
Lucas nodded.
Today, except for Ye Jinsheng and Mu Xiaohu, all the senior management of Shengtang are basically here. Ye Jinsheng leads four "male gods" to hit the charts crazily, while Mu Xiaohu is busy dating female celebrities.
Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming reported on the mainland industry, mainly to Lucas and Lin Guodong. Liu Lang was always aware of the domestic situation.
Lu and Shao didn't speak English very well, and Lin Guodong was translating. Lucas was not interested in "Slam Dunk", but he still pretended to be very serious and nodded in approval from time to time.
"Brother Shao, the sales of comics in the island country exceed 10 million copies, which is much more than in the mainland. Didn't you say last time that the publisher there wanted me to participate in some activities in the island country? You can contact me and I can be the next one.
Let’s go there every month!”
"Slam Dunk" was sold like crazy in the island country. The sales volume reached 11 million copies in one year, while the national sales volume was only 7 million copies. This was mainly "benefited" from rampant book piracy. Without piracy,
, I’m afraid “Slam Dunk” can break through the 50 million mark.
Shao Mingle jumped up when he heard that Liu Lang was going to the island country. He was responsible for the island country market, and Liu Lang's visit in person was an affirmation of his work.
"Okay, I'll make preparations when I get back. It will be very grand."
"No, no, Brother Shao, this visit doesn't need to be grand. It's just a meeting with golfers to communicate with our book fans. Don't make a big deal about it!"
Liu Lang's trip to the island country this time was not just to meet book fans, he was there to "grab money."
"Well, okay, no problem, I'll take care of it!"
When Lucas arrived in the capital, Liu Lang naturally wanted to show his kindness as a landlord and invited everyone to Xidan to eat pure Sichuan food at noon, which made Lucas so spicy that his nose was filled with snot and tears.
In the evening, everyone went to a newly opened Hunan restaurant. Although it was also very spicy, some of the dishes were still very suitable to Lucas's appetite.
After dinner, everyone walked around Tiananmen Square for a while, and did not return to the hotel to rest until about nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, Huo Tianting and Wang Zhendong arrived at Liu Lang's house.
"Brother Huo, are you interested in following me to the island country to make some money?"
Huo Tianting was most willing to hear Liu Lang say this. The Huo family had made too much money following Liu Lang for so many years. The sales of Transformers models exceeded 10 million US dollars every year. Of course, the three years that made him most unforgettable were
The feat of 30 million in one day in the U.S. stock market. Although this matter was secretive, it was finally spread in Hong Kong Island.
The most widely circulated story is that Huo Tianting gambled a million dollars on the stock index at 400 points after drinking, and made a huge profit of 30 million in one day. Why was he drunk? That's because normal people would not do this. If
If he fails, he will become the laughing stock of the entire Hong Kong Island. Unfortunately, if he succeeds, then he will be a legend.
This deal has been talked about by many people, but the matters involving Liu Lang have been concealed. Some rumors only have a mysterious figure speculating on the mysterious force behind Huo Tianting. Of course, they have no basis.
, after all, this matter involves the country's military, and the Huo family does not dare to talk nonsense.
When Liu Lang "joined" the Huo family, his first words were: Are you interested in making money in the U.S. stock market with me? Now that these words reappeared, Huo Tianting felt that his opportunity had come again.
"What do we need from the Huo family?"
The Huo family now has unconditional trust in Liu Lang. In fact, the Huo family has been very concerned about Liu Lang's whereabouts over the years. They also know more about his domestic industry than others, although it is not clear what Liu Lang has achieved.
What achievements, but it is obvious that the country attaches great importance to Liu Lang. The establishment of Fucheng Industrial Zone is to cooperate with Liu Lang, and to use a city to cooperate with Liu Lang. How much trust does the country have in this little kid!
"Brother Huo, how is the economy of the island country now?"
Liu Lang asked first.
"The economy of the island country? Well, it should be very good. Both the stock market and real estate are very good. The housing prices in Tokyo are now the highest in the world, and the economy of the island country is second only to the United States. At this rate of development, I am afraid
In three or four years, the GNP of the island country will catch up with that of the United States."
"The economy of the island country has indeed developed rapidly in the past two years, but brother Huo, don't you think they are developing too fast?"
"Well, yes, many people are aware of this problem now. In the past four years from 1985 to now, real estate prices in Tokyo have tripled. It is simply a rocket speed. Many people are also worried about their development.
I believe there will be several adjustments in a short period of time, but in the long run, the economy of the island country is still relatively stable... Of course, this is just our opinion. In fact, our Huo family also has some industries in Tokyo.
It’s worth over ten million dollars.”
Huo Tianting answered Liu Lang's question truthfully.
