My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1009 Box Office Fourteen
Just like Zhang You thought.

After the box office data for "The Great Swordsman" was released yesterday, major cinema chains did not delay much and immediately reduced the film's screening rate after seeing the real-time data today.

They even replaced the most prominent advertising space in theaters with posters for "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Nobody turns down money.

If the occupancy rate were similar, we could try to negotiate for more screenings, but the situation is now quite clear. On the third day, the screening was halved, and the theaters couldn't take it anymore.

In particular, there are 2% of prime-time slots.

Besides the increased screening rate of "Goodbye Mr. Loser", two of the three animated films also saw an increase in screenings, all thanks to "The Great Swordsman". The film's high budget and box office were largely due to the crucial role of theater promotion. However, "The Great Swordsman" turned out to be a disappointing failure.

It only lasted two days before it gave out.

Fourth day.

The film's daily box office was only 3,500 yuan, and its drop was as large and rapid as that of "The Suspense" last month. However, with the increase in the number of screenings in theaters, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed 150 million yuan on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, the daily box office revenue exceeded 200 million yuan.

In other words, after five days of release, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" has grossed over 600 million yuan. With the momentum of the film, the stock price of Tianyu Entertainment has hit the daily limit for three consecutive days.

On the sixth day, the stock price had just opened a gap at the daily limit up price when, in less than five minutes, it was pushed back up to the daily limit up price by a surge of retail investors. This is the hidden benefit that a successful movie brings to a company.

Earlier, there were rumors within EE-Media that Director Zhang had bought a lot of company stock. This was likely due to his achievements in music and the success of "The Voice of China," which he co-produced with the company, giving him a reliable image. As a result, after those rumors circulated, many EE-Media employees quietly bought some shares.

Looking at it now... some employees are in a state of high excitement while working.

Some people were filled with regret and despair because they had only invested a few thousand yuan, unlike others who had invested tens of thousands. One person was even more ruthless, directly using five times leverage. In his words, "If Director Zhang's songs sell so well, his scripts must be good too."

He invested a total of 40,000, leveraged it five times, which is 200,000. Judging from the current situation, after deducting the cost of leverage, he can earn at least 70,000 to 80,000.

"Song Zhu"

As Song Lan passed by the production department carrying a pile of documents, a male colleague wearing glasses quickly called out to her.

"how!?"

Song Lan asked in confusion.

She's been in a good mood these past few days. Not long after Director Zhang bought company stock, she also invested 300,000 yuan.

For her, 300,000 yuan is not a lot, and she did not use leverage because she heard that it is easy to get liquidated if you use leverage. Her thinking was simple: even if she didn't make much, based on the company's development in the first half of the year, even if the stock price fluctuated, the fluctuation would not be too large. When the financial report is released at the end of the year, even if she is trapped, she can get out.

Ultimately, she had more faith in Director Zhang's abilities.

Even Chairman Lin has been won over by him. Now he's buying company stock, so there's no problem. It's better than keeping the money in the bank and earning a pittance!
If you deposit 10,000 yuan for a year, the interest will be less than 200 yuan.

To put it bluntly, interest rates here can't even keep up with the rate of inflation.

however.

She never expected that Director Zhang's abilities were so formidable that "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had already grossed over 600 million yuan in just five days after its release.

Today, the company commissioned an authoritative institution to predict the final box office of this film, and the result was over 1.5 billion.

With a production cost of over 40 million, it grossed 1.5 billion at the box office, something she had never encountered since joining Tianyu Entertainment. Not long ago, she came out of Chairman Lin's office.

Chairman Lin received a phone call from a shareholder.

On the phone, he seemed to have given Chairman Lin high praise... but Chairman Lin's gaze seemed a bit complicated, a mixture of joy and entanglement, and a hint of something else that was hard to explain.

Song Lan thought that it was probably because Director Zhang was just too outstanding, so outstanding that Chairman Lin felt that even his mistress was not good enough for him. But that was normal. A man like Director Zhang was like a descendant of the sun.

Because she trusted Director Zhang's abilities, she invested 300,000 yuan, which has now grown to almost 420,000 yuan. Thinking about this, Song Lan couldn't help but smile. She was secretly delighted.

Even her usually steady steps became lighter.

Following Director Zhang, she won't have to worry about food and drink. Once this wave is over, she plans to sell her current studio apartment at the end of the year, and with her year-end bonus, she can buy a two-million-dollar villa.

"Do you know when Director Zhang will ship the goods?!"

My male colleague, who wears glasses, asked this question in a low voice.

Upon hearing him ask Assistant Song such a question, the other colleagues who were working in their office chairs immediately perked up their ears. In addition, they quietly slid their chairs closer, as if trying to hear it more clearly.

"I haven't asked!"

Song Lan replied.

"That……"

The male colleague with glasses didn't say what he was going to say directly, but Song Lan was perfectly aware of what he meant. However, she neither agreed nor refused, but instead said, "Let's focus on our work first," and walked away.

“good good”

"Song Zhu has such a refined air about her; from now on, she will be my idol."

"I've always thought Song Zhu was the most beautiful woman in our company."

......

Hearing her colleagues' praise, Song Lan felt a little embarrassed. They were trying to get information from Director Zhang, and they were all starting to go against their conscience. Usually, this kind of flattery was something only the company's "sexy goddess Wu Danni" could enjoy.

Even Jiang Yiren doesn't get to enjoy that.

really.

When a person realizes the benefits of money, in addition to fully maturing, they also learn the primary rule for survival in society: "acting against one's conscience."

"cough cough"

Two soft coughs rang out, instantly silencing the somewhat noisy work area. As Assistant Song passed by his office door carrying documents, Wang Feng, the head of the production department, coughed again. When Song Lan looked over with a puzzled expression, he quickly whispered, "Assistant Song, I have something to tell you."

Done.

Wang Feng glanced at the work area again, and finding nothing amiss, went into his office first. When Song Lan walked in, looking puzzled, the forty-something-year-old Wang Feng poured her a glass of water before quietly asking, "Assistant Song, how much did you buy?"

"You bought one too!?"

Song Lan asked in surprise.

"Bought 200,000."

Wang Feng held up two fingers, then laughed and said, "This is all the money I've secretly saved up over the years. You're not married yet, so you don't know how hard married men's lives are."

"..."

Song Lan was speechless.

"No, I just wanted you to help me find out whether Director Zhang plans to invest long-term or short-term. If he's going for long-term, I still have some savings of my own."

Seeing that Song Zhu's gaze had become strange, Wang Feng, who was already over forty years old, chuckled and said, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows, you know! My wife is like a hunting dog. If she only has one burrow, she'll not only be easy to catch, but also easy to be taken down along with her whole family."
