Chapter 656 Mr. Cowell
This time, Jing Jian went to New York to go public for Delta Power and to meet with Mr. Cowell, a famous securities investor on Wall Street.
Finally, the actress Carolina from Poland accompanied Jing Jian to New York was accompanied by Carolina. The reason why she brought this Carolina with her was for some kind of publicity.
The campus comedy film of Beijing Film Academy has been released globally in the New Year period. In addition to the domestic box office, the box office in Hong Kong was 32 million Hong Kong dollars (the third year, the first in the history of mainland films. "Shaolin Temple" is considered a Hong Kong-based mainland co-production film); the box office of Japan was 2.9 billion yen (the eighth most popular Chinese films in history, the top seven are all Hong Kong and Taiwan films, the first in the mainland); Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand is 6.4 million US dollars (the first in mainland films); France is 34 million US dollars (the seventh in Chinese films in history, the second in mainland films, and the second in mainland films, and the second in the super-god "The Wrangler"); the UK is 24 million US dollars (the eighth in Chinese films, the second in mainland films, and the second in mainland films).
It is particularly worth mentioning that under the operation of Seed Cinema, it was specially approved for release in Taiwan, causing 10,000 people to be out of stock, with a total of US$17 million in Taiwan; and in the three Eastern European countries where the Europa League cinemas are located, it also achieved a good box office record of US$8.1 million; the competition in the US market is fierce, although it has received a box office of US$5.1 million and a video rental income of US$1.5 million, a Chinese-language film has already achieved great results.
Finally, the global box office was as high as more than 47 million US dollars. It should be said that Jing Jian’s words were correct at that time - comedy does not distinguish between national boundaries, while sports and action movies do not distinguish between national boundaries.
After the results came out, the mainland film industry was full of joy. Moreover, the responses sent back from abroad were quite positive. Many foreign film review columns were commenting: "... Only then did you know that China is no longer fighting in ancient costumes, hahaha, and then you know that China has long entered modernization..."
The leaders in charge of the cultural circle directly praised it at the celebration meeting: "...showing China's good appearance after reform and opening up is a good publicity for the whole world..."
Anyway, Shen Songsheng has been drunk for a long time at the celebration banquet on the axle. Many people have ignored the fact that this video has been bought out by Seed Cinema.
If the Chinese film industry and Beijing Film Festival make face, then the seed theaters make money. If you continue to work hard, the American version of "Youth in Flowers" has been raised for filming at Hollywood's Seed Films, with an investment of US$9 million. China's university campuses were transplanted into American universities, and the actors were also replaced by European and American actors. Many European and American gimmicks were added to the jokes in the story, and this Carolina is the heroine who just signed the contract.
After acquiring theaters in the Three Eastern European countries, Jing Jian did not regard those theaters as tools for making money, but he still did a lot of jobs that won people's hearts. In addition to accepting the tens of thousands of staff and increasing their income and benefits, Bai Lianhua also established a special foundation to support and promote excellent local films and recommend outstanding film and television candidates to develop in European and American film circles such as Hollywood, and this Carolina is one of them.
It has to be said that these behaviors are quite successful. The current European Union and White Lotus have received praise from the cultural circles of the three Eastern European countries, and have even become some examples of the "successful privatization" of the local government. This good reputation immediately received good returns. Several other Eastern European governments have negotiated with the European Union and White Lotus, hoping to replicate such a privatization model.
...
Not to mention the further expansion of Europa League theaters in Eastern European countries for the time being, she talks about the female companion Carolina who went to New York this time. She doesn't know Jing Jian's true identity, and she has a kind of reserve. Of course, she maintains a polite respect for Jing Jian and respects this Oriental director who has made a name for herself in Hollywood. Perhaps Carolina believes that Jing Jian is also an artist in a socialist country supported by a certain European and American foundation?
However, as soon as she got off the plane, Carolina felt the difference. The luxury car, the temporary housekeeper who greeted him, the precious evening dresses and jewelry purchased for Carolina, the paparazzi everywhere around her... This made her realize that she and Jing Jian lived completely in two worlds. Until the evening, Jing Jian and Carolina were invited to visit Cowell's home on Manhattan Island, and Carolina had a fairy tale-like unreality.
"Hello, Bramble. Of course I'm happy to meet you, the beautiful Miss Carolina." Cowell looked like a kind-looking old man, and his words and deeds were quite kind. From the outside, few people could know how many bloody storms he had caused on Wall Street.
"I have also admired my name for a long time, Mr. Cowell." Jing Jian did not dare to underestimate the old man in front of him at all. In fact, in the last Blue Star Network storm, there was this Cowell's black hand behind him.
This is the best thing about banquets in the United States, with less red tape. Cowell's home is particularly pragmatic, and the dishes are served very quickly and the dishes are exquisite, so he eats directly. Mrs. Cowell, who was next to him, was talking with Carolina, and Cowell asked about investments directly: "Branbull, I have always been very interested in your investment cases. Excluding your investments out of personal interests, I am a little confused about your theater investment. Forgive me for being straightforward. We have analyzed your investment habits. You like to rely on your sensitive sense of smell to seize fleeting opportunities and cash out in the market in the short term to make profits. Another type of thing is that you prefer to start from scratch to invest in popular industries and raise financing arbitrage in the securities market. These two habits are very inconsistent with your behavior in theaters. Can you please ask me if there is any reason here?"
Jing Jian didn't expect that Cowell would choose such an inconspicuous place to start. He smiled: "As you can see, some of my investments are more radical, which requires a pressure regulator, and theaters are a more suitable industry." Jing Jian would not reveal any deep-seated reasons. Today, he was just a communication from the perspective of investment.
"Oh? The pressure regulator?" Kewell wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. "Although your financial data has not been disclosed, it should not be profitable yet, right?"
Jing Jian understood that Cowell was asking about Seed Cinema. Europa League is a listed company, and unlike privatization companies like Seed Cinema, they can keep financial confidentiality. Of course, because they have to have relationships with financial institutions, simple profits will definitely get news.
"Excluding the newly acquired theater chains this year, the original theater chains lost about tens of millions of dollars last year. However, this is the layout construction and modernization of theaters, which is a necessary investment for the future. From the theater chains alone, the profit rate should be around 3%.
