Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 302: Horrifying data, one hundred times compensation?
In the capital, in Lingjing Hutong compound, the leader was holding a satellite phone and nodding from time to time.

On the other end of the phone was Zhao Mancang, who was far away in Sam's Club. He was reporting to his leader on the current sales of movie-related products.

"Boss, the movie 'Jurassic Park' is a huge hit at the box office right now. People are talking about dinosaurs all over the place. It's a very popular movie."

"Hundreds of thousands of supermarkets and stores across the United States are urging us to deliver goods. Even though we already shipped a large amount of goods in advance, we still need to replenish them."

"Especially the large statues, their sales are surprisingly hot, which is something I didn't expect. The price of an ankylosaur statue is $8,000, but we have already received 500 orders in the United States."

An ankylosaurus statue costs $8,000, and with 500 orders, the total revenue is only $4 million.

But don't forget, this is just an ankylosaur, and this is just the beginning.

The movie craze that "Jurassic Park" set off was something that many people could not imagine.

The novel viewing experience brought by new technologies has pushed toys, a category of products, to the peak.

In fact, "Jurassic Park" is no longer a movie, but just an advertising film.

This movie is used to promote dinosaur peripherals.

But even though it is a commercial, there are still many fans who flock to watch it.

"Okay, you did a great job. You can make your own decisions about the follow-up matters. We will only focus on the results. I wish you a successful start."

After hearing this, the leader was very happy.

He had not expected that the movie "Jurassic Park" would become so popular.

It seems that Sam's movie really took off all of a sudden.

However, these are far away from the leader, so he will not pay too much attention to them.

However, leaders don't pay much attention to it, but many people in capitalist countries are paying special attention to it.

According to the latest news from the New York Times and Post, Sony spent a huge amount of money to acquire Columbia Pictures, spending a total of 1.2 billion US dollars.

When this news came out, it caused a sensation across the United States, and added heat to the already very hot film market.

Many Wall Street giants wanted to hit someone when they saw this news. Sony, this troublemaker, actually came to Hollywood to cause trouble?
Twelve billion US dollars, that's really a waste of money.

Even the declining Columbia Pictures was sold for a high price of 1.2 billion US dollars, so wouldn’t the three prosperous Paramount, 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures be sold for billions of US dollars?
Sony and other capital companies have certainly consulted several Paramount giants, but how could they possibly sell Paramount?
"Jurassic Park" currently being released by 20th Century Fox is sure to sell for a high price of 200 million US dollars, and even 300 million is not out of the question.

Paramount Pictures' "The Journey" has now exceeded 230 million US dollars at the box office and is steadily heading towards 300 million US dollars.

If a movie can make so much money, how could the shareholders behind these Hollywood giants be willing to sell it?

To be honest, the reason why Columbia Pictures was able to sell at such a high price is, firstly, that the Sam film market is now on the rise, and secondly, Sony is simply a big victim.

Because Sony is a Kimura enterprise, if it wants to enter the Sam's market, it will inevitably need to make many changes.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about these things. He was also paying attention to the box office and peripheral sales of "Jurassic Park".

On the first day, hundreds of millions of peripheral products were sold, with revenue exceeding 300 million US dollars.

As long as this momentum can be maintained, the movie can generate revenue of around 2 billion US dollars from dinosaur-related products alone in the first week of its release.

Definitely making a lot of money.

The box office figures for Friday were just released, and Jack, Darren Campbell, Dean Gibson and others all had their eyes shining after seeing the data.

Thirty-eight million six hundred and twenty thousand U.S. dollars!

This is the box office performance of "Jurassic Park" on the second day of its release. In just two days, it earned more than 73 million US dollars.

Horror!
The record for the fastest film to break $100 million in box office history is about to be broken again. "The Treasure Quest" just sat in this position for a short time, and was soon overturned by "Jurassic Park".

There is more to write in the newspaper.

So far, at the beginning of the summer season, several movies have been released, including "Blade Runner", "I Am Mike", "The Treasure Hunt" and "Jurassic Park". Except for "I Am Mike", the other three movies have been a huge hit.

However, although the box office performance of "I Am Mike" is not satisfactory, it is also steadily increasing. I really can't understand why so many people like to watch this type of love movie?

Whether others can understand it or not, Universal Pictures' subsidiary has gone crazy.

Because based on this box office performance, the movie "I Am Mike" may really break 50 million US dollars.

Among the movies that generally make over 100 million dollars at the box office nowadays, a box office of 50 million US dollars is indeed not that good.

But the problem is that the investment in the movie "I Am Mike" was only one million US dollars. If the box office reaches 50 million US dollars, it would be a huge profit.

"Write me a script, a parody, I want to make money!"

Inside the office, Jack's eyes were fixed on people like Clint Richard, Rolf Curry and Dean Gibson.

Seeing how popular "Jurassic Park" was, Jack didn't care anymore.

On the one hand, he also needs to deal with the threats from Wall Street financial giants, and on the other hand, he needs to seize the time to make a lot of money.

In the past, people made money just for the sake of money, but now making movies is not just about making money, but also about survival.

Warner Bros. is a listed company, and Jack doesn't have much leverage.

When Wall Street sees that Sam's film market is so hot and is eager to get in, it will definitely be willing to spend more money to acquire Warner Bros. Pictures.

Columbia Pictures was acquired by Sony, which was $1.2 billion in real money.

However, the good news now is that the overall market for SAM movies has risen, and the stock price of Warner Bros. Pictures has also risen accordingly.

There is no way. The current film market is indeed very hot. A large amount of hot money has entered the film market, making it seem as if the US dollar is worthless.

But in fact, the current situation is that Sam Movies is going crazy.

Jack didn't want to lose Warner Bros. and went crazy.

Klin Richard and Rolf Curry felt very bitter, but there was nothing they could do; they had to go ahead and do it.

Just imitate them, it’s not the first time they have followed the trend.

Both of them had seen the movie "Jurassic Park" more than once, and to be honest, it was very shocking.

With Warner Bros.' current film technology, it is highly unlikely that they would be able to produce such a realistic dinosaur movie.

So it can only fool the audience.

A few days later, Clint Richard came up with a script for "The Cretaceous Age". It was a bit watery, but after Jack read it, he still approved it and asked people to poach people from 20th Century Fox and start filming immediately.

Warner Bros. Pictures will not make any money this summer, but it should be able to get a share of the pie during the off-seasons of September and October.

Even if you get scolded or sued, as long as you make money, that's enough.

On July 6th and July 7th, both weekends, the box office of the movie "Jurassic Park" was 40.97 million and 39.2 million US dollars respectively.

In just two days, it grossed 80 million US dollars, and the entire North American market went completely crazy.

When other countries and regions around the world saw this news, their first reaction was disbelief.

Although Sam is the most developed country on the planet, is the box office of one of their movies really that incredible?
The single-day box office exceeded 40 million US dollars. This is simply outrageous and outrageous. It is outrageous to the extreme.

But that's the truth!

Because this is "Jurassic Park", a movie that Zhao Mancang used new film technology to produce, which forced 20th Century Fox to close down for nearly three years.

For a movie like this, it broke 40 million in box office in a single day. Isn’t this normal?

In the first four days of the weekend, the box office of "Jurassic Park" has reached 153.4 billion US dollars, which is simply terrifying.

The movie that broke the 100 million US dollar box office the fastest and the 200 million US dollar box office the fastest is definitely "Jurassic Park".

News about "Jurassic Park" was everywhere in the newspapers. If it weren't for other giants like Paramount who were willing to spend money on publicity, there would be no publicity for other movies like "The Treasure Hunt".

Even so, the box office of other films such as "The Treasure Hunt" have been affected to varying degrees.

After Sunday, Monday is almost here.

The box office results of the new week are very important, so many people in the industry are paying attention to whether "Jurassic Park" can maintain its performance or take a big dive.

Jack and the others naturally wished it could jump off the ten-meter diving platform, but that was not the case.

On July 8th, Monday, the box office was a bit unexpected, unexpectedly high, because "Jurassic Park" won a box office of 34 million US dollars.

hiss!
Such an unreasonable box office trend has left many people confused. What the hell is going on?

This day is Monday, a working day!
Summer vacation is just a summer vacation for students, and office workers don’t have to go to work, so why is the box office still so high?
Many people couldn't understand why, but after some research, they discovered that Jurassic Park was incredibly well-received. Many students watched it twice or even three times, and even watched it several times with their friends.

People invited their friends to watch the movie and gathered together to discuss it. It can be said that the popularity of this movie is extremely high.

What’s funny is that the box office of other movies such as “The Treasure Hunt” was originally going to continue to decline, but it managed to hold up. The reason is very simple, that is, many fans who wanted to buy tickets to watch “Jurassic Park” simply couldn’t get them.

So in the end I had no choice but to buy other movies to watch.

But among the movies currently on sale, the best ones are "The Treasure Hunt", "Blade Runner" and "I Am Mike", and the others are not good.

You can tell from the movie box office.

Newspapers such as The New York Times and Post update the box office rankings almost every day. The ranking of total box office positions can show which movies are awesome and which are average.

Because all movies are bought with real money by the audience, and which movie has more viewers in the cinema can be seen with the naked eye.

Rely on others to brag?
Haha, the audience is not stupid. They have their own eyes, how could they not see it?

On Tuesday, the movie "Jurassic Park" successfully broke the $200 million mark.

Although many people know that it is not difficult for it to break 200 million US dollars, it broke through 200 million US dollars in just six days. Isn’t this too scary?
"Could it possibly break through 300 million US dollars in just half a month?"

Such a guess suddenly appeared in Jack's mind, but he quickly shook it off.

How is this possible?
However, in the current annual box office rankings, "Jurassic Park" is about to surpass "Blade Runner" and is not far from "The Treasure Quest".

This shows that "Jurassic Park" is still quite powerful.

But what many people have not noticed is that the sales of products related to the "Jurassic Park" movie are the most terrifying.

The box office revenue was only a few hundred million U.S. dollars at best, but the dinosaur peripherals had already earned $2.3 billion in six days, which was more than a day faster than the original plan of earning $2.1 billion in seven days.

This is so scary!

If these revenues were leaked, then the rumors that "Jurassic Park" was a promotional video for dinosaur-related products would be confirmed.

July 11th is another Thursday, and a new movie is about to be released, this time it is "Rambo" produced by Universal Pictures.

The plot of this movie is very simple. It tells the story of Rambo, a veteran who suffered in the Monkey War. After retiring, he returned to live in a small town, but was bullied by the sheriff and falsely accused of crimes. He was detained for no reason and then fought back.

The plot is very simple, but very exciting.

Unfortunately, although this movie is awesome, it ran into "Jurassic Park," so on Thursday, "Rambo" wasn't the top of the box office charts.

Although "Rambo" earned $30.8 million at the box office, "Jurassic Park" also topped the list with a box office of $32.2 million.

It is estimated that in another day, "Jurassic Park" may break 300 million US dollars.

Seeing such box office trends, everyone became excited.

Because "Jurassic Park" is very likely to break the box office record of "Sadako", although the box office of "Sadako" has now exceeded 700 million US dollars, it is definitely a giant and stands out from the crowd.

But the current performance of "Jurassic Park" is also very terrifying, so it is really hard to say whether "Sadako" is more awesome or "Jurassic Park".

On Friday, "Rambo" tried to make a comeback and took in $35 million at the box office, but "Jurassic Park" managed to outperform it.

The latter's box office actually rose against the market trend and earned 36 million US dollars.

hiss!
It’s exceeded 300 million US dollars!

Moreover, according to this trend, it will not be far from breaking 400 million.

The movie "Jurassic Park" is so awesome, it's simply amazing.

No one can understand it, but "Jurassic Park" is making breakthroughs at an incredible speed.

On Saturday's box office, "Rambo" finally made a comeback, earning $37.8 million, and the consecutive championship record of "Jurassic Park" was finally broken.

But it was no use, and on Sunday, "Jurassic Park" was back.

In this way, it is estimated that in two days, the box office of the movie "Jurassic Park" will exceed 400 million US dollars.

Judging from the current box office trends, it is very likely that the film will break the current box office record of more than 700 million US dollars of "Sadako".

A new week has arrived. On Monday, there are still many audiences waving US dollars in movie theaters across the United States wanting to buy "Jurassic Park".

These people don’t know how many times they have watched it.

But no matter how many times you watch it, the cinema owner will definitely not turn away customers.

After Monday, the box office results for the first day of the third week of "Jurassic Park" were also released, with more than 26 million US dollars, ranking first.

"Rambo" is awesome, but it only grossed over 25 million U.S. dollars, not as much as "Jurassic Park."

Universal Pictures was stunned when they saw this scene.

Damn, "Jurassic Park" is really awesome, it's extremely popular and its box office performance is as steady as an old dog.

After Tuesday and Wednesday, "Jurassic Park" had been released for fourteen days and the box office had unsurprisingly exceeded 400 million US dollars.

Next up was July 18th, when MGM's new movie, Star Trek, was released.

MGM has a lot of ambitions for the box office of "Star Trek," but it's not sure whether it can support such ambitions.

However, on this day, "Jurassic Park" aired a new promotional video on many TV stations across the United States.

That was the video where the husband just came home, and his wife brought her two daughters in dinosaur costumes to scare him, but the husband refused expressionlessly, saying he was tired from work.

Seeing the man go back to the bedroom, his wife and two children were very disappointed, but after a while, the man came out of the room wearing a huge dinosaur costume. For a moment, the house became lively.

This is just an advertising video, simple and warm.

But it sparked everyone's love for the movie. Many people bought tickets to watch the movie, and even more people went to Wanjia Supermarket and other places to buy such costumes, because the dinosaur costumes mentioned in the promotional video were so fun.

Soon, the box office figures for movies on July 18th were released. "Jurassic Park" ranked first with a box office of 36.45 million US dollars. The second place was "Star Trek" with more than 35 million US dollars, and the third place was "First Blood" with 21 million US dollars.

After the box office rankings came out, everyone gasped.

How is this possible?
The entire film market sold over 100 million US dollars in one day. Isn’t that too scary?
It's absolutely incredible!

It is indeed a terrifying and crazy film market. The attention of global investors has been attracted, and the four Hollywood giants, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures and MGM, have all been infinitely magnified.

Everyone desires success, so they pursue it so much.

"Jurassic Park" produced by 20th Century Fox was so successful that it broke the 400 million US dollar box office in less than half a month, and now it still maintains a single-day box office increase of more than 30 million US dollars, which is simply terrifying.

The most important thing is that July 18th is not a weekend, it is just a Thursday, and the single-day box office still remains at 36.45 million.

So how long is it until "Jurassic Park" breaks 500 million or 600 million?

Zhao Mancang reported these situations in detail to the leaders in Beijing, which also left the leaders dumbfounded.

What the leader is happy about is not the box office, because no matter how impressive the box office is, it has little to do with the domestic market. What he is happy about is the business surrounding the movie, which is really amazing.

After all, judging by the current growth in movie box office, the popularity of dinosaur-related products will continue for a long time.

"Jurassic Park" was supposed to be a movie, but now it seems to be just a product promotion video.

The financial giants on Wall Street have also discovered that dinosaur peripherals are very popular, but they can only watch helplessly because they cannot intervene in this part of the business.

"Can't we just copy or pirate it?"

Some desperate businessmen want to take risks and directly produce and sell dinosaur accessories and other peripheral products without paying copyright fees, but how is this possible?
Wanjia supermarkets are now spread throughout Sam's Club, and there are many companies under Zhao Mancang's name. The relationship network formed by these companies is very large and complex.

There is also the police network, so as long as anyone dares to take the risk, they will definitely be discovered within a week.

With the legal teams of Wanjia Supermarket, 20th Century Fox, cinema giants and other related companies, any businessman who dares to pirate dinosaur peripheral products will definitely not have a good ending.

Just now, Phil Gak, a greedy capitalist from the First Citibank Group, one of the financial giants on Wall Street, hired someone to act as an agent for a factory that specializes in the production and sales of dinosaur-related products.

Dinosaur peripheral products do not require any technical content at all. Anyone can produce and sell them as long as they obtain copyright permission.

However, the financial tycoon Filjak had no intention of paying 20th Century Fox copyright fees, he just wanted to get it for free.

So less than a week after the dinosaur peripherals were put on sale, 20th Century Fox had already traced the details and reported them to Zhao Mancang.

After Zhao Mancang learned about this, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Find out all the detailed revenue information for me, then immediately file a lawsuit and sue them for damages one hundred times their revenue!"

Everyone was stunned. A hundred times the compensation?
