Chapter 48 The Youth Is Gone
Watching the interviews with those movie fans on TV felt very real, especially since it was that bearded guy.
"This reporter is good, and the material is good too. This GG project was worth the investment."
Robert listened as the PR team members next to him commented on the investment in GG, and he nodded slightly, but did not offer any opinion.
Someone who originally wanted to sabotage Universal was smashing everything in the office; at this moment, everyone knew he was very unhappy, partly because of the box office failure and partly because his attempt to sabotage Universal backfired.
Shortly after, "Kimba the White Lion Leo" officially surpassed $200 million at the box office. Compared to another film, it is still somewhat behind, but it will be shown for another month or even two months, at which time it should be able to break through $300 million.
This one is superior to the other in terms of painting skills and composition, so it can't be too far behind.
Starting in late June, the film began its global run in South America, officially launching its global box office haul; once it surpassed $6 million in the US, its global success was virtually guaranteed.
When Zhang San received the notification, he knew that he no longer needed to pay attention to this matter; the box office figures in America basically reflected the overseas box office data, and they were essentially equal.
This hand-drawn animation, which was advertised as having a budget of $30 million, now has one thing certain: it's guaranteed to gross at least $400 million worldwide.
An animated film grossed $400 million worldwide, and its production cost of $30 million also reached mainland China and the United States.
"Hey, factory manager, they said the production cost is 30 million US dollars, but we only have 6 million US dollars."
The factory manager looked at the artist who had come from Shandong and said, "Things are different in the US; they bundled it for six million dollars, but the screenwriter didn't get paid? The composer didn't get paid? The score didn't get paid? The voice actor didn't get paid? And... moreover, their boss bought the film and television adaptation rights for free?"
The factory manager grew angrier and angrier, then said, "You idiot, you sell things, don't you need to make a profit? If you can't figure this out in the future, then don't stay at the factory."
"I'm sorry, factory manager, I know I was wrong."
The factory manager had actually asked Zhang San about it, and Zhang San explained the process. In fact, the film production process in mainland China and Hollywood is the same. The factory manager was also wondering why there was a production cost of 30 million.
It's only because Zhang San has a good temper that he's ignored him. Otherwise, no one would have asked him why he needed a production budget of 30 million.
Zhang San had never heard of any film studio being investigated by the tax authorities for selling hats and straw sandals worth three thousand yuan.
If it weren't for the fact that the six million dollars had been transferred through the bank, he really wouldn't want to deal with these people.
"Leo the Great Emperor of the Jungle" is also very popular in mainland China, with almost every screening sold out. As for why the box office is only one-third of what it should be, it's hard to say... It's definitely not box office fraud...
When Zhang San was a child, he did something like this when he went to the movies. At that time, there was a very low air vent in the men's restroom of the movie theater. Whenever there was a good movie, he would find his friend, and the two of them would pool their money to buy a ticket. He would go in first, and sometimes his friend would go in first. The person who went in first would take half of the ticket from inside and give it to the friend outside.
After getting the tickets, the friend used the good side to sneak into the movie theater. If the theater was full, he and his friend would squeeze in together; if it wasn't full, they would each have their own seat.
As Zhang San recalled his memories of his past life, a nostalgic smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. It's a pity he can't go back.
Perhaps he was feeling playful and wanted to reminisce about the past and put it into practice.
"Xiaofen, you're at the hotel, I'm going out for a bit."
Zhang San left with two bodyguards. Sitting in the Volga, he said to them, "Wait like this... understand?"
"Boss, why is that?"
"It's fun! Isn't it exciting?" Zhang San said matter-of-factly.
The two bodyguards were somewhat bewildered, thinking to themselves that rich people think differently.
Arriving at the nearest movie theater, Zhang San got out of the car and began to observe it. He noticed all the windows were sealed off, and feeling uninterested, he went to the next one…
So he went to several movie theaters but couldn't find any flaws, and he had no choice but to slink back home.
After arriving at the hotel, Zhang San was very unhappy. "Damn it, there are too many seniors here. They've blocked all my paths and left me no chance at all."
"Boss, something's bothering you?"
"No!"
"I see you..."
"That's enough!" Zhang San thought to himself, "Why are you so concerned about me?" But his tone softened, and he said, "I'm fine, don't worry about it."
After a while, Zhang San noticed that there was no movement and found it strange. He saw that Chai Xiaofen, who looked a little aggrieved, was making him tea.
"Hey, I've made you a cup of tea."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper." Zhang San was also a little embarrassed.
Zhang San turned on the TV and saw that the North Peninsula International Invitational Tournament was being broadcast, and a young girl had won the floor exercise championship.
"From... He Meitian won the floor exercise championship..."
Zhang San stared at the TV in a daze. Wasn't that the gymnastics sweet girl, who later became the most beautiful ancient costume actress? Chai Xiaofen saw him staring at the TV in a daze and felt a little wronged, but she couldn't show it.
However, Zhang San wouldn't care about her feelings, so she needs to adjust her mindset on her own.
He had seen this sweet girl play supporting roles in several TV dramas before, such as Zhong Ling, who was really good. Unfortunately, she was a sucker for good looks.
Zhang San pulled the pretty girl next to him closer, lifted her chin with his hand, and began to look her up and down. Then he said quietly, "Some people amaze the world; while others warm the years."
"Would you like to be that one?"
Before she could answer, Zhang San smiled and kissed her...
At the end of July 1991, Zhang San went south to Guangzhou. More and more people were being sent from Hong Kong, and they were assigned to various project teams, mainly real estate projects.
When he arrived in Guangzhou, he was quite familiar with the place. In his previous life, he had been here and lived near the cellar entrance.
Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, Beijing Road, Chen Clan Academy, Baiyun Mountain... and of course, the famous Liede Village, hehe...
He came here mainly to attend the signing ceremony. This time, he has invested in quite a few places, four in total. These four places will be developed into four commercial plazas, one of which is near Gangding.
I used to be a beast of burden, now I'm a centaur... oh, a beautiful horse of a beautiful woman.
They stayed at the Baiyun Hotel, a very famous hotel in the country; construction began in 1972 and it opened on June 1, 1976. The building is 120 meters high, has 33 floors, and a total of 718 rooms.
It was the tallest building in the country back then and was renowned throughout the nation. Even decades after its completion, it still doesn't look outdated, which shows the level of technology it was at the time.
