Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 42 Fortunately, I have your brain
Some time later, Li Wenyu and Pang Bing left the underground parking garage of a commercial building in Central. On the way to the beach, Pang Bing asked curiously, "Why are you so optimistic about NetEase?"

Now he has paid 800 million Hong Kong dollars, Pang Bing has invested 300 million, and then they will slowly and steadily purchase it in the next few months.

Six months ago, both of them were super wealthy! Having already invested, Pang Bing would of course be curious.

Li Wenyu lit a cigarette. "I'm optimistic about online games. If you pass by an internet cafe, you should take a look, or have your assistant observe and count how many young people are addicted to online games across China."

"NetEase founder Ding is working on games, which is fine. Don't tell anyone about it, just keep it to ourselves."

The female driver and assistant who was driving the car said speechlessly, "Director Li, I heard it too."

This was the person Wang Jinghua arranged for Pang Bing. He understands Mandarin and Cantonese, and is similar to Xiao Hu, who was sent by Zhang Guorong to run errands for Li Wenyu.

Fat Bing said happily, "Even if you hear it, you have to keep it secret. If you're interested, you can invest a little, but you really can't tell anyone about it."

Li Wenyu nodded. "Being a driver and an assistant is always a job that requires strict discipline. If you follow Bingbing and do your best, you will definitely have plenty of small benefits."

"Let's go. We still have to go to the beach to film a thank you video. After Bingbing, you focus on filming the scenes with Miracle Boy first, and then we'll go back to the mainland."

"I often chat with Teacher Liu on Penguin and on the phone now."

On the 3rd, he asked Yu Bo, Ye Jing and Han Xiao from Jin Province who were at the same level to go to Niangziguan to find Da Liu. It went smoothly. Da Liu, who was also an engineer at the power plant, contacted him by phone on the 4th and got to know him.

Liu was still preparing to take a long vacation to go to Beijing to meet with him. While the other party was on leave, he also came to Hong Kong Island to increase investment and help Pang Bing get it.

By the way, finish filming the Wonder movie!
In the previous week, the box office in mainland China and Hong Kong Island continued to explode, with Wanwan's cumulative revenue reaching 1900 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 1.04 million in the Chinese region.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration that South Korea has accumulated 7500 million Hong Kong dollars and the island country has accumulated 7900 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the island country's box office market around the millennium, the best-selling movies were basically those that grossed $1 million or $2 million. Last year, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone sold $1.5 million in the island country.

The Shallows grossed $7900 million in its first weekend and two weeks, which is just shy of $1000 million.

But this is how the three countries of Nakajima and Han came out with 2.58 million!

The total amount of Europa and the United States has reached 3600 million US dollars, which is another 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars!

With various viral marketing and gimmicks, and the accumulation of various factors, "The Shallows" has really replicated the box office performance of the original.

In addition to stock investment today, Pang Bing will shoot another thank-you short video that will gross over 5 million Hong Kong dollars and post it online to thank netizens and fans.

This is also a very important part of marketing!
Just like the internet trolls making up stories, netizens from all over China showed off their dates with female friends, and asked the girls they were pursuing to watch The Shallows. Because of the thrilling and exciting feeling, as well as the beautiful sea views, etc., the next step of development came naturally.

This is to trick young men into becoming the main consumers and going to the movies.

From the time it was released to now, it has become a trend on the mainland internet. Whether or not someone confesses their love after watching Shark's Shock Wave, they still end up together and show off their affection on forums...

The water army laid the groundwork and created more than 800 small story cases. In reality, there were also true stories of netizens successfully chasing beauties in the cinema and then showing off on the Internet!
There are more than a thousand examples of this kind in Fan Bingbing’s forum on Penguin.com.

Eighty percent of it is fake, and twenty percent is real. This is so bizarre that it has turned Fan Bingbing's personal forum into a place dominated by dating, love and dating themes similar to Baihe.com and Zhenai.com.

This is part of marketing.

Pang Bing posted a short thank-you video using her own registered account, and netizens responded... The total number of replies to her last thank-you post exceeded 30, and there were no internet trolls!

Pang Bing's account was handed over to his assistant, who would occasionally pop up on the floor to interact with netizens.

This is similar to the future of Weibo, where celebrities' verified accounts interact with their fans. Before Weibo's rise, celebrities felt a huge disconnect from their average fans and fans, primarily due to distance and a lack of communication channels. Writing a letter to an idol and then waiting for a reply was about as likely to happen as winning the lottery.

That’s why Weibo was able to rise quickly and become a dominant platform.

Pang Bing’s account posted her real-life thank-you video, which was equivalent to official website certification. She interacted a little with fans and showed off her Shark Beach performance, which was another strong boost for Shark Beach.

Outside of mainland China, after the first weekend and two weeks of screenings, The Shallows has definitely entered a period of decline, with box office revenue decreasing and the screening rate steadily decreasing.

But the mainland can still continue to rise, and the love economy of young men and women is a market that contains billions of wealth. The Beach Boys took the lead in creating a huge gimmick that it is easy to hold hands while watching a movie.

Thousands of netizens share their success stories on Tieba...

There is no shortage of male netizens who watch The Shallows repeatedly and ask one or more different girls to watch it.

Pang Bing is active in forums and interacts with netizens, which also allows netizens to feel for the first time how down-to-earth she, a big star, is!

Therefore, with a cumulative box office of 16 million RMB in 4300 days, it is still possible to break the 8000 million RMB box office in the long run. Previous films such as Titanic, Life and Death Decision, and Jackie Chan's Who Am I, which reached over million RMB, all achieved this.

Who can blame the small number of big screens?

In terms of anti-piracy, all teams are still working hard so far.

Everyone knows that this is the first time, and it can be replicated a second time in the future, allowing mainland China and Hong Kong co-productions to take the lead in competing with Hollywood films at the box office.

Originally, the hero was the first to succeed. How much would The Shallows eventually break out in mainland theaters? Anti-piracy is also a top priority moat. More than 600 million in bonuses have been issued to many whistleblowers.

More than 60 citizens and ordinary people who made a fortune by reporting the incident and receiving the bonus are almost becoming the first generation of Internet celebrities.

Fat Bing was very excited when he heard his words. "Almost 6 million! I never dared to dream of it. Do you think if I appeared on the streets of Hong Kong Island without a disguise now, would it cause traffic congestion?"

Seeing her eagerness to try, Li Wenyu pondered her conscience and said, "You'd better use your brain. If you do that, it will not only cause traffic congestion, but it may also cause a stampede."

"If there are deaths in a stampede, no matter how popular you are now, the backlash from public opinion will cause you to suffer a huge blow."

Fat Bing was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, she said awkwardly, "Fortunately, I have a brain like you."

"By the way, the mainland and Hong Kong box office has reached 8600 million. Doesn't this mean that Brother Rong will start with at least 3000 million? If he keeps doing it, he'll slowly reach th or th place. If he really makes hundreds of millions from the box office and sales, the DVD sales will last even longer."

"Is our celebration banquet also in Hong Kong Island?"

Everyone is watching Zhang Guorong's profits safely in her pocket, and Li Wenyu's filming in various places will also progress more smoothly.

He laughed and said, "Anywhere is fine. They've already started to assemble the crew for Let Me Embrace Happiness over there. The female lead hasn't been decided yet, and the film will be shot on and off, waiting for the Cannes Film Festival."

Amidst the conversation and laughter, the car arrived at a beach.

A small team had been waiting for a long time, which consisted of a nanny car with a professional video camera, a photographer and a makeup artist.

Li Wenyu quickly led Pang Bing to stir up trouble.

At the beginning of 2002, she really became the top female superstar after the millennium. Her contract with Huayi would not end until 05, but Huayi would give face to the big director Li Wenyu under Wang Jinghua's persuasion and realize an % or % profit share for Pang Bing.

After all, Huayi is still begging to cooperate with him on a new project!
