The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

In August 2003, artillery fire roared in the Middle East.

The Iraq War broke out in March, when Wang Duoyu was in quarantine at home.

Majid Hussein is wanted, but has not yet been captured.

The Want Want Group did not participate much in this war, but only made a small profit before withdrawing urgently.

While things were still raging in the Middle East, in North America, a film premiere was being held at the Chinese Theatre in the most bustling area of ​​Los Angeles.

The Avengers are preparing for a global release.

It's somewhat ironic that war is raging on one side of the world while people are living in a drunken stupor on the other.

But that's the reality of this world.

Following the grand premiere, "The Avengers" was released in multiple countries and regions around the world.

On its first day, the film grossed $309 million in the United States alone.

The world was shocked after the news was reported.

The CIA, the Federal Reserve, Bush Jr., Herbert, and others all expressed disbelief: Fuck, didn't they say the counterfeit money gangs were already crippled and dared not operate anymore?

Good heavens, why are those devils out again?

Moreover, this time the release was so ruthless, with a box office of 300 million US dollars in a single day, and it was also a weekday. This is outrageous, outrageous to the extreme.

It's even more terrifying than The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug!
But how is that possible?
Regardless of how much Bush, Herbert, and others disbelieved it, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Avengers" was playing in theaters with great success, raking in box office revenue like crazy.

The people at the Federal Reserve, when they saw the words "The Avengers," suddenly felt a great sense of irony.

This sounds like the counterfeit money syndicate is coming to get revenge on the Federal Reserve, doesn't it?
"Fa Ke!!! What the hell are you all standing there for? Find them and kill them! I'm so angry! God, how can such demons exist?"

In New York, in his penthouse office at the Federal Reserve building, the newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman spoke angrily.

Before him stood his group of pot-bellied henchmen.

The group of people fell silent, not daring to say a word, and could only nod before leaving.

The box office for "The Avengers" continues to rise, and movie ticket prices have increased by another 25 percent compared to last year.

In particular, an IMAX movie ticket costs $29.90.

This is simply outrageous. He opened the door to outrageousness. It’s outrageous as hell.

No wonder "The Avengers" had such a phenomenal box office performance. With such high prices and so many people going to see the movie, how could it not be successful?
There were over two hundred IMAX theaters in the United States in 2003, which was truly alarming.

On Friday, the daily box office reached a staggering $350 million, even more terrifying than before.

It's possible that the box office will break one billion US dollars in just three days.

And this only applies to the United States, a major voting bloc, and doesn't even include other parts of the world.

Hollywood is really making a killing.

At this very moment, several more companies went public on the New York Stock Exchange today.

One of them is Lionsgate, a well-known Hollywood film company.

This company was founded in 1997 and is known worldwide for its thriller and horror films.

Riding the wave of the Avengers' dominance in the US film market, Lionsgate received immediate and enthusiastic market support after its IPO.

In less than a week, its market value reached $1.8 billion.

Many people know that there is a certain risk of a bubble, but the market has given it such a high rating and is steadily pushing up the company's stock price.

As expected, "The Avengers" broke $1 billion in just three days, with Saturday alone bringing in $401 million in box office revenue.

The box office records of breaking 400 million in a single day and 1 billion in three days have made "The Avengers" even more popular.

The entire film market became extremely volatile, and Wall Street's enthusiastic pursuit made Hollywood a holy land for the capital market to chase profits.

Many individual investors cannot travel to Hollywood to invest, but they can still get a share of the profits by investing in film companies.

For example, the stock prices of many Hollywood film companies that are already publicly listed, such as Warner Bros. and Disney, have all risen.

It's a very magical thing, and it just happened.

Ice City, Harbin Institute of Technology, the island in the middle of the lake.

"Big Fish, look at this! A Hollywood blockbuster has grossed a billion dollars in just three days! That's unbelievable! Do you think I could make that much money if I acted in a movie?"

In the living room, Wang Yifei sat down on the sofa next to her father with a tablet computer, her eyes shining as she pointed at the news on the screen.

This is a Facebook news report about Hollywood, a major news story about the record-breaking box office of the movie "The Avengers".

In recent days, the world's attention has been drawn to Hollywood blockbusters.

Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe is almost fully formed.

Therefore, the cinematic universe that has gradually formed from movies such as Iron Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America, and Thor has gradually become the largest IP in the global film market.

The box office of several films, including "Iron Man," was at least 3.3 billion US dollars, with "Captain America" ​​even taking the top spot in the all-time box office in 2001 with a box office of 4.19 billion US dollars.

The four films together grossed over $13 billion, and now with the release of "The Avengers," it will soon push the record for the highest-grossing film in history to a new high.

After all, a box office of one billion US dollars in three days is incredibly impressive.

Aren't you going to sing karaoke?

Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

Wang Sixin, who was in his arms, was still scratching his beard, but he quickly held her down.

“Singing doesn’t earn as much money as movies. I still want to invest in movies, but unfortunately I don’t have the connections,” Wang Yifei said with a regretful expression, her eyes fixed on her father.

She's currently preoccupied with making money, because half the year has already passed and she hasn't earned much yet. Two albums have been released, and while sales are decent, the profits aren't high.

Although she wasn't particularly busy, unlike other singers who travel all over the world to promote their new albums after releasing them.

For her summer album, aside from attending two TV promotional programs and a local music festival in Harbin, she only advertised on Weibo.

The ads are everywhere, and the daily sharing happens almost every few days.

In order to sell more albums, she even asked her sister for help, since Bai Doufu had already appeared on screen once.

At the same time, she kept pestering her father for ideas, and all sorts of free and time-saving promotional tips kept popping up. As a result, in the last month or two, her number of Weibo followers skyrocketed, quickly surpassing 30 million.

The number of internet users nationwide is growing rapidly, but it would be quite good if there were two or three hundred million internet users.

It's no surprise that her Weibo followers have grown to over 30 million, making her the female celebrity with the most Weibo followers in the Chinese entertainment industry. That's truly impressive.

"What are you looking at me for?"

“Big Fish Brother, you’re my dad, why can’t I look at you?” Wang Yifei retorted, then suddenly grabbed her father’s arm and said obsequiously:

"Can you help me secure the investment share for this Hollywood blockbuster?"

"Hollywood is too complicated; you can't handle it, so don't even think about it."

Wang Duoyu stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead:
"In short, you can't go wrong by listening to me. Study hard, and maybe you'll actually be able to make money in the future and beat your second brother fair and square."

Yes, I beat her second brother fair and square.

Instead of thinking about cheating, after all, getting her father to pull strings is what you call cheating.
"Hmph, Big Fish, that's not fun. I'm not asking you to cheat for me. I just want you to give me some pointers."

"Sisi, you're practically jumping off my face with your abacus beads, and you still have the nerve to say you're giving me some pointers?"

"Hmph, Big Fish, you're not cute at all now. I don't like you anymore."

"Xin Xin, listen to how your older sister talks! You ingrate!" Wang Duoyu immediately said to the little one in his arms, indirectly criticizing her.

The words "ungrateful wretch" carried immense weight, infuriating Wang Yifei to the point of turning ashen-faced. Yet, she couldn't afford to lose her temper, or she would truly become an ungrateful wretch herself.

She could only accept her bad luck and leaned closer again: "Big Fish, I was wrong, please forgive me."

"No, you're not wrong, I can't guide you."

The father and daughter chatted on the sofa for a while before ending when Liu Xiaoli called out for dinner.

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the second week arrived as scheduled. The Avengers continued its strong performance at the North American box office.

In its opening weekend, the film grossed $1.35 billion in the United States, and in the three weekdays of its second week, it also raked in $680 million.

As a result, after seven days of release, the total box office in the United States reached 2.23 billion US dollars.

The global box office figures are not yet available because the film has not yet been released in many markets around the world, such as mainland China.

Even if we only consider Europe, Australia, Canada, South America, and other regions, the total global box office outside the United States reached 1.1 billion US dollars.

In seven days, it grossed a total of $3.13 billion worldwide.

So terrifying.

On Thursday, Disney released their blockbuster movie: Shrek 2!
This movie is amazing. When Shrek 1 was released two years ago, it grossed nearly three billion US dollars.

Now it's the second movie, and it's coming on strong.

Disney invested a huge amount of money, and as an animated film, it was completed in just two years, which shows its production efficiency is rare in the world.

It's highly likely that after the first film broke box office records when it was released two years ago, Disney quickly established a second film project and then arranged for people to produce it quickly.

Whether it's Hollywood or Wall Street, this is a characteristic of Americans: as long as they can make money, they won't care about anything else.

The wildly popular movie "Shrek 2" grossed $180 million on Thursday alone after its release.

In the US stock market, Disney's box office revenue surged in response.

On Friday, the single-day increase exceeded 2.5%.

Horror!
Don't underestimate a single-day increase of 2.5%. It may seem like a small amount, but it is actually quite significant.

In Harbin, at the Harbin Institute of Technology, on the island in the lake, Wang Jun'an sat on the sofa, with Wang Yifei, Bai Doufu, Wang Junxian, and Wang Sixin, siblings, beside him.

"Second Brother, Disney's stock price is rising. Should we continue to buy more shares?"

Since she was unable to get guidance from her father, Wang Yifei turned her attention to her second brother.

Actually, she wanted to trade stocks on her own, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it and would suffer heavy losses, which would make her cry.

Although she is currently studying in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, and has chosen financial mathematics as her major, she really has no experience in stock trading.

Calculations based on reference data models may not be 100% accurate.

Now, Disney's box office has soared thanks to the movie "Shrek 2," but Wang Yifei is hesitant.

She wanted to increase her position and remain bullish on Disney, but she was afraid of buying at the peak and being left holding the bag.

Because today is Friday, and the weekend is just around the corner.

Once the weekend is over, the stock market stops trading, and who knows if Disney's stock price will continue to rise by Monday?

While it largely depends on the box office performance of Shrek 2, no one can predict whether the film will achieve high box office numbers over the weekend.

Keep in mind that "The Avengers" is still showing in theaters, and the weekend is dominated by this movie. It's really hard to say which of the two movies is better.

"What do you think?" Wang Jun'an asked with a smile.

"Second brother, I'm asking you a question, why are you throwing the question back at me?" Wang Yifei said with dissatisfaction.

"You can't rely on me, can you? Don't you have your own judgment? You can share your own thoughts."

Wang Yifei thought for a moment and said:

"I think it's worthwhile to continue adding to the position."

"Then you should buy more. You need to trust your own judgment."

"But I'm scared."

Wang Jun'an rolled his eyes and shrugged: "If that's your attitude, after hearing my judgment, you probably won't want to ask me again, and you'll definitely blame me afterwards."

"Okay then, I'll add to my position?"

Just then, the door was pushed open, and her father returned from outside: "What, adding to your position? Wang Qianqian, are you trading stocks?"

"Yeah, Brother Big Fish, do you think Disney's stock price will continue to rise? Should I buy more shares?" Wang Yifei's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.

Her father is the real expert. If her father also thinks she should increase her holdings, she will definitely do so without hesitation.

She might even leverage her position to make a fortune! (End of Chapter)
