Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Chapter 124 Giant Dinosaurs Sweep Across the World

The merger process of Golden Globe Bank Group is still ongoing, and in the midst of this hectic schedule, "Dinosaur Park" has begun its preview screenings.

The novel "Dinosaur Park" was on the New York Times bestseller list. Although the filming took place a year later than the original timeline, there was no other way, as it was to accommodate Universal Studios.

In addition, Universal Studios Hong Kong opened in June this year, coinciding with the release date of "Dinosaur Park".

In addition to its limited screenings in North America, the film also began promotion in Hong Kong. At the same time, it was also imported to mainland China and released simultaneously with North America.

This is where Zhang San played a role. Because this movie is a science fiction film and a commercial film without nudity, gore, or various political metaphors, it was quickly introduced to China after being reviewed by the mainland authorities, thanks to his good relationship with MCA. The share of the revenue was a bit low, but that didn't matter; it was better than nothing. Moreover, MCA wouldn't take the share; instead, it was invested in the construction of that building in Shanghai.

This is also one aspect that the mainland is willing to approve quickly, and doing so makes them very satisfied, at least the benefits stay within the mainland.

In North America, most movies, regardless of their quality, will have preview screenings, and "Dinosaur Park" is no exception.

Zhang San also arranged for the dinosaur-themed park he had prepared to open at Universal Studios in North America soon, coinciding with the release of the movie.

Various dinosaur-themed merchandise also needs to be transported to various merchandise stores, so that moviegoers can't be unable to find a place to buy it after the movie is released.

MCA was also a Golden Globe client, and the bank sent people to coordinate financial matters. A movie destined to be a hit needed good cooperation in all aspects.

To complement Universal's promotion, Golden Globe Bank also launched a Dinosaur Park-themed credit card for movie fans and gave away Dinosaur Park merchandise to families, allowing families with children to go to the movies.

Rotten Persimmons website also launched a homepage recommendation and rating for "Dinosaur Park", and major portal websites around the world have also started reporting on "Dinosaur Park" and various small comments.

Discussions have also increased on the forum, with comments such as whether the dinosaurs in the movie have a plastic-like texture.

Many of the comments expressed their anticipation for the film's release, saying that this movie was truly special.

PAY has also launched a GG for "Dinosaur Park" on its homepage, and PRICEONLINE has launched an online ticketing event with a 10% discount.

These are channels outside of traditional media promotion, and at this moment, Zhang San is making use of them.

When the box office results came out, Zhang San was not disappointed. The box office was more than $9 million in the first four days of previews. It was released in North America on Friday, and by Monday, Zhang San had earned more than $93 million in the first week of release, breaking all previous records.

Zhang San sighed. It was so close to breaking 100 million; the original box office record for this movie was over 900 million US dollars.

After the box office results came out, Universal decided to increase its promotional efforts to capitalize on the success; "The Lion King," which was originally scheduled to be released in June of this year, was replaced by Leo, the King of the Jungle, and was not released.

Forrest Gump will not be released until early July, and Dinosaur Park, which will be released in June, has no rivals.

Looking at the film schedule, Zhang San was a little worried when he saw Forrest Gump, wondering if Dinosaur Park would be affected.

To get a firsthand look at the market response to "Dinosaur Park," Zhang San went to a movie theater himself to see it for himself.

Outside the cinema, there was a line of people. Seeing the anticipation written all over their faces, Zhang San joined them and rushed into the theater.

Almost everyone was seated, and the lights in the movie theater slowly dimmed. Soon, the figures of dinosaurs gradually appeared on the screen. They were huge and majestic, and every detail was lifelike.

Viewers felt transported back to the age of dinosaurs, experiencing firsthand that world full of danger and wonder. As the plot unfolded, the audience's tension grew, with each appearance of a dinosaur eliciting gasps of surprise.

When dinosaurs and humans engaged in fierce chases and battles, the audience's hearts were in their throats. The film's special effects were breathtaking; the roars and footsteps of the dinosaurs, as well as the sound of the wind on the grassland, all immersed the audience in the experience.

Especially the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. When it roared, the audience screamed at the sight of its sharp teeth and the cold glint in them. Its huge head had a mouth even bigger than a blood basin, which was very frightening.

At the end of the film, the audience was still immersed in the awe of the dinosaur world and the lingering thoughts on the plot, reluctant to leave.

Soon after, applause rang out in the cinema.

"Oh my god, did they really bring the dinosaurs back to life? I heard that Universal Pictures is making a dinosaur theme park, let's go check it out together."

"Yes, those dinosaurs were so realistic. If it weren't for some flaws, I would have thought they were real too."

"I plan to come back tomorrow. Anyone want to come with me?"

One person's suggestion was immediately endorsed by many others, who also felt that they should watch it again, as such a grand scene could only be truly appreciated in a movie theater.

Zhang San also felt the movie was good, and he silently encouraged them to watch it again; as for himself, of course he went back to work, as he still had a lot to do.

When banks merge, accounts need to be clear. There are three banks, but actually four. Yong An Bank was merged into Haito Bank, and now they are all called Golden Globe Bank Group.

While busy dealing with bank matters, Zhang San also kept an eye on the box office performance of "Dinosaur Park." Sure enough, in the following period, "Dinosaur Park" automatically became the weekly champion; there were no other films that could rival it during the same period.

Then came the monthly champion, and then...

Until Forrest Gump was released as scheduled, Zhang San heard some rumors that Patrick had split into two voices.

One view is that their film should be released later, so as to avoid clashing with the dinosaur park and thus gain greater profits.

Some people, however, believe that it is unnecessary. If it is really postponed, it would be better to surrender, as it would be a loss of face.

Zhang San, however, was unaware of all this. He naturally believed he wasn't a guardian angel; he was in it to make money. He wanted to uncover who was behind that lead. But realistically, all he could do was give up.

On July 6th, Forrest Gump was released.

On this day, "Dinosaur Park" had been in theaters for almost a month, and its box office that month had exceeded 300 million US dollars...
