Chapter 281 280, Lisboa Hotel
Russian writer Chekhov once wrote a novel.
It tells the story of a man who was watching birds flying in the sky, and he was very absorbed in watching. Passers-by who didn't know what he was looking at also stopped and looked up. Then the fourth and fifth people joined the group, and even the cars on the road stopped, and the police on duty came over...
More and more people gathered, but no one knew what they were looking at in the sky, but they just looked at it seriously and enthusiastically.
And Sun Hao's [promotion] for the movie "Train to Busan" is to seize this kind of psychology of people - curiosity.
There are 200,000 young people in South Korea taking to the streets to protest "Train to Busan". What are these people protesting about? No, I have to go to the cinema to take a look.
So, "Train to Busan" became popular.
On October 31, there were 376,000 moviegoers in South Korea, and the actual box office revenue was 3.79 billion won, which is equivalent to 3.17 million US dollars.
On November 1, Halloween, the number of moviegoers in South Korea reached a terrifying 410,000, and the actual box office revenue was 4.213 billion won, equivalent to 3.5238 million US dollars.
On November 1, Halloween, the box office revenue of Hong Kong Island movies was 8.64 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the box office revenue of 1.56 million Hong Kong dollars released in advance last night, the total box office revenue exceeded 10 million, creating the best sales record of Chinese local movies in Hong Kong.
On November 1, Halloween, Japan, which has always had a special liking for horror movies, actually collected 586.5 million yen in box office revenue, equivalent to 5.1 million US dollars.
On November 1, Halloween, North America, the world's box office powerhouse, "Train to Busan" was released in 3,000 theaters at the same time, and the box office revenue was 11.14 million US dollars, creating the best record of non-English films released in the North American film market.
On November 1, Halloween, "Train to Busan" also exploded in the European film market, and won 7.54 million euros in box office revenue in just one day.
………
While the movie "Train to Busan" swept the global film market with the help of Halloween and the collective protest of 200,000 Korean students, Sun Hao, who created this historical record, was sleeping in the Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau.
That's right, on November 1, after leaving Korea, Sun Hao did not return to Hong Kong to make a film, but came to Macau alone quietly.
One is to wait for news, waiting for news from Tokyo, Japan; the second is to pay the debt. Although the rule of the old tailor in Korea is to do the work first and then collect the money, you must pay this money...
Want to default, haha!
November 2, 10 am
Sun Hao, sleepy, sat up from the bed, looked at the laptop next to him, and was in a daze.
In order to adjust the script of "Final Destination 1", I stayed up until 1 a.m. last night, and I am still a little confused until now. I dare not work so hard in the future.
After self-examination, Sun Hao got up from the bed and turned on the TV with the remote control.
【Hello, everyone. This is Phoenix TV’s Finance Channel. I am the host Jing Yi. Before the show officially starts, I would like to insert a piece of financial news.
Masayoshi Son, the founder and chairman of Japan’s SoftBank Group, had a car accident on his way to the company at 8 o’clock yesterday morning. In order to avoid a pedestrian who suddenly appeared, the driver drove into a garbage truck on the side of the road. Fortunately, Son was not seriously injured.
However, even so, he still pushed aside all official duties and went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday. Affected by this news, SoftBank’s stock price fluctuated slightly in the Tokyo stock market of Japan...】
“Pah…”
The remote control in Sun Hao’s hand fell directly to the floor, and the battery came out of it, rolling several times on the smooth floor.
The old tailor and his people are really awesome!
They keep their promises, even if the other party is such an awesome figure in the financial world of East Asia or even the world, they will drag your legs if they say they will.
It is not clear at present whether the pedestrian on the road is one of their people or the driver who drives for Masayoshi Son. Of course, there is a great possibility that it is both!
Just thinking about it, Sun Hao heard someone knocking on the door.
Walking over and opening the door, Sun Hao saw a young man in a suit standing outside the door.
The young man was not too old, about 20 years old, and not too tall, just over 1.70 meters, but with big eyes and looked very energetic.
Seeing Sun Hao coming out, he bowed slightly.
"Hello, Mr. Sun, I am a waiter working in this hotel. My surname is Chen, and I am from Jinjiang, Fujian Province. This time I will serve you."
"Well... OK, wait a moment!"
Sun Hao knew the rules, and reached out and took out 1,000 Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed it over. This is a tip, which must be given.
And you have to give it afterwards, it is a wedding money, whether you lose or win.
"Thank you!"
After getting the tip, the young man bowed again, but his attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant.
Sun Hao entered the room, changed his clothes, and took out his bank card. According to the price agreed with the old tailor, he had to throw away 2 million US dollars here this time. Oh..., it was really a bit heartbreaking!
Fortunately, it was agreed with Harvey Weinstein and Han Shanye that this part of the money would eventually be included in the publicity and promotion costs of the movie "Train to Busan".
If he had to pay for it himself, Sun Hao would be heartbroken!
After packing his things and locking the door, Sun Hao walked towards the elevator under the guidance of the young man named Chen, but at this moment, a text message suddenly came on his phone.
[Boss, I have already been in contact with the two people you talked about. They suspected that I was a liar. However, when they saw the authorization agreement you gave me, we talked for an hour.
Ju Neng, surnamed Ma, said that Niu B's boast was really loud. He said that if we could give him 10 million US dollars, he promised to make the company into the world's largest online sales platform within five years.
This reminds me of what Yuan Chonghuan said in front of Chongzhen, five years of Ping Liao...]
"puff…"
Sun Hao wanted to laugh, but the assistant he had found was becoming more and more venomous!
However, Sun Hao thought for a moment and stopped. He signaled the young man named Chen to wait a moment, then stood in the corridor and started editing text messages.
〔you mean…〕
[What I mean is that you may have been deceived. No matter how you look at them, they look like scammers. A small company with less than 30 people wants to invest tens of millions of dollars just by talking...
Well, in your words, it’s just not very reliable! 】
[Haha..., just leave it alone!
I directly told the man named Ma that I had invested in Centen, and I would give him as much money as he wanted.
But we must get 33% of his shares, and the shares can be traded in the future but cannot be diluted. 〕
This time, it took a little longer.
After waiting for five minutes, Sun Hao received Li Xue's reply message.
[What about the voting rights derived from shares?
The man surnamed Ma said that even if he only holds 1% of the shares, he must have 100% say in the company's decision-making. 】
[The voting rights derived from the shares can be authorized to him, but the authorization agreement can only be signed for 20 years. 〕
【receive! 】
Seeing Li Xue's reply, Sun Hao put his phone into his pocket and smiled at the young man.
"Sorry, the crew just had something to deal with."
"it does not matter!
According to custom, your appointment with Mr. Jin didn’t come that early either. "
"Mr. Jin?" Sun Hao frowned.
As of now, I really don’t know who I will lose the 2 million US dollars to?
"Yes, Mr. Jin!" At this point, the young man named Chen suddenly lowered his voice.
"Mr. Sun, it is said that Jin Zhengnan is from the north..."
Jin Zhengnan, heard this name.
Sun Hao suddenly stood stunned on the spot, God, what kind of people have I provoked? !
