Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 673 Propaganda (24)

Shen Yan took out his phone and showed her a picture of his safe, then said, "There are five hundred gold bars in here, mostly bought from Chow Tai Fook... I'm planning to sell my shares in Huayi Brothers and Enlight Media in a couple of days and buy another 200..."

"Will they sell it to you?"

Shen Yan looked at him like he was an idiot: "Big sister, I'm Shen Yan! I said I wanted to buy some gold bars to invest, and they were overjoyed. I'm a spokesperson for Chow Tai Fook!"

"…Too!"

Dilraba nodded: "Then I'll have my agent agree to Zhou Dasheng's contract, and then buy 5000 million worth of gold..."

"No...where did you put it?"

Where did you put it?

"I'll deposit it in the bank!"

"I'll deposit my money in the bank too!"

"Okay, remember to choose one of the four major banks!"

Dilraba nodded, then asked, "So... are there any other investment options besides buying gold?"

"You could buy some Tencent and Kweichow Moutai stocks..."

"Huh? Buying stocks?"

"You want to play it safe, right? The market capitalization of Tencent and Kweichow Moutai has definitely not reached its peak... so they can definitely maintain their value! You can also buy Ali's stock!"

At present, the major internet platforms are still in the process of competing for incremental growth!
The so-called incremental competition is actually just about seizing opportunities...

Later, the competition for new growth turned into competition for existing market share, and then problems began to emerge among large companies, affecting their market capitalization…

"...How many should I buy?"

"casual…"

Did you buy it?

“I bought it in 2011. I didn’t have much money then, so I bought it for over 20 million. In 2013, I bought another 200 million… If I were to cash it out now, it would be worth about 600 million!”

Wow...you're so rich!

Shen Yan smiled and said, "But I'm also a big spender..."

Dilraba: "But all the movies you invest in are definitely profitable!"

"You can't say that..."

"They say you made over a billion from 'The Martian'!"

"It's not that exaggerated. The company only holds a 30% stake in the investment..."

The first round of box office revenue sharing for "The Martian" has been released, totaling 17 billion yuan. After deducting 80 million yuan for marketing, production, and ticket subsidies, the profit is approximately 11 billion yuan. Shen Yan will receive 25%, which is 2.75 million yuan…

Overseas copyright exports, including new media copyrights and television copyrights, totaled over 3 million yuan. Shen Yan also participated in the profit sharing, receiving 7500 million yuan…

There will be follow-up products—book publishing, co-developed toys, and even a "Running Man" themed amusement park planned for Xiangshan, which will also have a "Mars Rescue" theme, requiring licensing fees…

This income isn't much, but it's considered subsequent revenue…

But no matter how you calculate it, it won't reach a billion!

Dilraba nodded, then took out her phone to browse Weibo for a while, when she suddenly shouted, "...Brother, look!"

"What's wrong?"

"...Sanma Investment in Huayi!"

"Three Horses?"

Shen Yan took the phone and glanced at it. Good heavens, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, and Ma Mingzhe of Ping An Insurance invested 35 billion yuan…

黄中军则说了‘募投资金使用方面，31亿元拟用于影视剧项目，包括预计拍摄12部超大型影片、12部大制作影片、7部中小制作影片以及400集电视剧！’

That's so well said!
Then, less than a week later, they spent 10.6 billion yuan to buy Dongyang Meila, Feng Xiaogang's shell company.
However, this time Dongyang Haohan was not there...

Without the support of "Running Man," Li Chen, Yang Tianbao, and Zheng Kai probably wouldn't have reached the same level as in the original timeline... He's overthinking it; these guys were put into "Challenger Alliance"...

However, it didn't matter to Shen Yan. He immediately called his stockbroker: "Sell all Huayi shares when the market opens tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

"...Oh right, also sell off your Enlight Media shares next month!"

"Cheng... what do you want to buy?"

"I'm not buying it right now... I need the money!"

"it is good!"

The stockbroker respected Shen Yan greatly and never flaunted his knowledge or experience.

Shen Yan told him to sell, and he sold; he told him to buy, and he bought…

pretty good!
……

The next day, in Shanghai.

When Shen Yan met with the crew of "Life's Big Events," he first bowed and said, "I'm so sorry everyone... I missed the promotional period for the movie I starred in!"

"It's okay, I know you're busy..."

"I'm back now!"

"...You've been livestreaming for eight consecutive days, with over 1000 million viewers for each session. That's already very good!"

Several people comforted him...

At this time, "Life's Big Events" had grossed 14.47 billion yuan, and with both days being the weekend, the daily box office revenue exceeded 4000 million yuan...

The day after tomorrow is the 12th, and "Avengers: Age of Ultron" will officially be released...

By the way, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is really taking good care of Shen Yan; Avengers: Age of Ultron is releasing on Tuesday!
It will be released on May 1st in most parts of the world…

May 12th, Mainland China!
Of course, Japan's version is even more ruthless—it won't be released until July 4th!

Hollywood blockbusters are mostly delayed in their release in Japan…

Furthermore, Marvel superhero movies have never performed exceptionally well in the Japanese market – a superhero graveyard…

In fact, no Marvel movies appear in the top 100 highest-grossing films of all time in Japan. After all, even "Avengers: Endgame" only grossed 55.8 billion yen, a difference of 4 billion yen from the 20th-ranked "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" with 73.4 billion yen...

But if you say Hollywood isn't popular in Japan...

That's not right either. "Titanic" and "Frozen" occupy two of the top five spots in film history!
As for Nolan, his best box office hit in Japan is Inception, which grossed 35 billion yen!
The much-hyped film *Oppenheimer* only grossed 16.7 billion yen at the Japanese box office…

Back to the topic of publicity...

"Life's Big Events is actually a realistic film. Mo Sanmei is an ordinary character, and it's a story about everyday life. It can help us find the warmth and humanity of ordinary people in a noisy world, and through the bridge of film, it can convey more positive energy to the audience, allowing everyone to embrace the beauty and hope in life..."

"I had a classmate in elementary school whose grandfather was a timber merchant who often made coffin boards... During summer vacations in elementary school, I often went to his house to play, and his yard was full of coffin boards... We often played hide-and-seek inside the coffins..."

"Kids don't understand taboos or life and death... This is probably the main source of my writing 'The Big Events of Life.' I can still remember the smell of wood shavings from new wood. It's my most beautiful childhood memory and the source of the idea for this film to be told from a child's perspective. I think children don't have a concept of life and death."

"It really does smell nice. The coffin is mainly made of elm, willow, mulberry, pine, and cypress. The pine and cypress smell especially good. You can fall asleep inside it after it's been in the sun."

"Major Events in Life" has entered the later stages of promotion, mainly involving invitations to various universities to share the creative process...

We are currently in the auditorium of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

“Funerals, especially those in rural towns, offer a glimpse into a person’s entire life. You can see how your relatives and friends evaluate you, the closeness of relationships within a family, and even conflicts over inheritance… I think funerals could be a good angle for a film!”

"I talked to Han Yan about it, and he also thought it was a good idea. On the surface, Chinese people seem to avoid talking about things related to funerals. But we have a very romantic and open-minded attitude towards death..."

Han Yan continued, "Our funerals are colorful, with paper offerings, coffin-carrying chants, and instrumental bands. The whole process is a healing process. People communicate with the deceased as if they were still alive, which is a manifestation of open-mindedness."

“I once heard my grandmother say, ‘If one less person is on earth, one more star will appear in the sky.’... The people who ferry people across the gap in this process are those in the funeral industry, which is how the ‘people who plant stars’ came about.”

"We weren't trying to express anything, we were just telling a story... a story suitable for all ages,"
