I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 523, New Year’s Eve

When Xu Shanhe, the little kid next to him, saw this scene, he curled his lips and whispered in his mother's ear:

"Mom, such a little kid is not well-behaved. Unlike my brother and me, he doesn't cry and make trouble."

He Minhong suddenly became happy and gave the little guy a thumbs up and praised him.

The little guy suddenly became more happy.

The family walked around the street all afternoon, had dinner outside, and then went to watch a movie.

Today I just wanted to go out for a walk and watch a movie.

The premiere of the movie Jurassic Park will be held in the 5,000-seat hall of Xintiandi Plaza, and many big names will come.

These have nothing to do with them for many years. They will only appear in the VIP box on the second floor to watch movies, and forget about the rest.

So, not long after they arrived, the movie started playing.

Since it is adapted from a novel, the entire movie will be slightly different from the original work.

Of course, the general context of the story is still the same.

What's more, this is a pure popcorn movie, focusing on the visual effects and nothing else.

"Wow, it's really a dinosaur. It's such a big dinosaur, taller than trees. Grandpa, is there really such a dinosaur in the world?"

When the Apatosaurus appeared in the movie screen, the two brothers Xu Shanhe and Xu Shanyou suddenly opened their eyes wide.

Even the two little guys who have been in my arms for many years have the same big eyes.

It was obvious that they were all shocked by the movie scenes in front of them.

As a movie that can be watched by all ages, many little kids came to watch today's premiere.

The whole cinema was filled with exclamations, and some scared little kids.

Many movie professionals in the industry looked shocked, dumbfounded, and their expressions instantly became solemn.

Because it is obvious that such a movie is definitely not an ordinary movie, and its impact on the entire film industry is absolutely unparalleled.

Such realistic special effects almost truly recreate the age of dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago.

No wonder it's called Jurassic Park. This movie is really not common sense.

Although the novel created a wave of craze when it first came out, after all, it was a novel written more than ten years ago.

I didn’t expect that the novel would have such a huge impact after being adapted into a movie.

Many people think of the novels created many years ago, such as The Legend of Mortals Cultivation into Immortality, and the Transformers comics.

Once it becomes a live-action movie, I'm afraid the box office will explode.

"So do you think there were dinosaurs?"

Many years looked at the little guy and asked with a smile.

He didn't answer the little guy directly, because the movie had just said that this was a dinosaur created through experiments.

The picture in front of me is not TV news, but a movie.

A kid of four or five years old should have his own judgment.

"Brother, you are so stupid. This is a movie and it is not real. This is fake." Xu Shanhe said quickly, which attracted praise from He Minhong and Qin Huairu.

The little guy suddenly became very happy.

However, the little guy Xu Shanyou was not so happy, with a small head and big doubts.

The movie continued to show, and more and more dinosaurs appeared in the movie.

And as the plot develops, Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, etc. also appear one after another.

Various shocking scenes made people shout and scream, it was really incredible.

Some timid little kids were scared and wanted to see, so they could only cover their eyes and watch secretly.

The whole family watched this movie with gusto, and even after many years, I was fascinated by it.

Should I say it or not, this time and space, with his participation, is already very different from the original time and space.

At the very least, the land they are standing on now is what he used the power of space to build in a year or two with all his efforts.

A whole ten square kilometers, it’s not that big an area at all.

Although the area of ​​Hong Kong Island is not small, more than 90% is mountainous, which is not suitable for living at all.

However, starting from the 1950s, due to Hong Kong Island's superior geographical location and the benefits of the times.

Therefore, Hong Kong Island's economy took off rapidly.

As a result, even Hong Kong Island, which has a lot of mountainous areas, can rapidly increase its population to more than 10 million in just 20 to 30 years.

Of course, this speed is slower than Jiangbei County in the mainland.

After all, Jiangbei County has been driven by the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, attracting Huo Jiandong, Pao Yugang and other Chinese-funded tycoons.

The most important thing is that many of these big guys own real estate construction companies or started their careers in this field.

Therefore, Jiangbei County, where Xishui Village is located, is taking off much faster than Hong Kong Island.

It's only 1984, and construction of the subway has already begun.

Once the subway opens, the population siphon will be even faster.

Therefore, from the airport to the film and television city, to the many tourist attractions, business circles, etc. in the city, as well as the old county seat in the south, the economy of the entire county will once again take off to another level.

By then, a city with a population of over 10 million will be within reach.

Hong Kong Island's rapid take-off model has been replicated in Jiangbei County over the years.

The economic scale, population size, etc. of Hong Kong Island itself are very different from the original time and space.

Therefore, even special effects technology has developed by leaps and bounds due to its emergence over many years.

The current Jurassic Park movie, with its realistic special effects, is a powerful reflection of the film industry.

Without such technology, there would be no way to shoot such a realistic movie.

However, the investment is really huge, directly exceeding HK$500 million.

You know, the current exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is about three to one.

In other words, 500 million Hong Kong dollars is almost 16.7 billion US dollars.

This was US$1.6 billion in the 1980s, which was quite valuable.

With such a large investment, the box office will definitely not disappoint for many years.

No, it will be released from the end of December and will be released in cinemas all over the world simultaneously.

The box office on Hong Kong Island on the first day directly exceeded HK$14.2 million, directly breaking the record since the opening of Hong Kong Island.

The entire Hong Kong media was in a frenzy, reporting the incident on their front pages.

It was a completely phenomenal movie, which directly bombarded the whole city, and everyone was completely excited.

Since it is a movie that everyone can watch, many adults watch it with their children.

After watching the movie, many little kids want to watch it again.

For this reason, after noticing this for many years, Dangji informed the cinema that if you bring your children to watch it a second time, you can bring the previous ticket stub to re-purchase the second movie at a 40% discount. ticket. This situation has further boosted the box office of the Jurassic Park movie.

Although many people stole chickens and bought movie tickets with other people's ticket stubs at a 40% discount.

As everyone knows, many years are the biggest winners.

Not to mention a 40% discount on movie tickets, even a 10% discount would be years of hard work.

You know, the cinema is open for business, no matter what, the daily expenses are fixed.

But after lowering ticket prices, it actually increased attendance.

And many people may have only planned to watch it once, but now that there is a discount, they must take advantage of it.

Although it is only 40% off, for consumers, 40% off is also a discount.

It's worth saving a little bit.

Therefore, after breaking the 15 million box office record on the second day, it directly broke the 16 million record on the third day, directly reaching the single-day box office record of 16.7 million.

Many people in the film industry were shocked when they learned the news in the newspaper.

Good guy, can a movie make money like this?

In just three days, the movie box office in Hong Kong Island alone has exceeded 46 million Hong Kong dollars.

You know, many previous movies have not been able to exceed 40 million in box office.

As a result, Jurassic Park showed everyone what a box office harvester is.

Horror!

However, when the Hong Kong Island media reported the news from across the Pacific, the citizens of Hong Kong Island were shocked.

In the three days of its first weekend in North America, the box office of the Jurassic Park movie has already reached US$130 million.

hiss!

Three days!

In just three days, so much box office revenue?

Anyway, all the media in Bald Eagle Mainland have gone crazy. They can't believe their eyes. How can a pure Hong Kong movie have such huge box office appeal?

In this movie, there is neither international superstar Bruce Lee nor the above kung fu and other elements.

It's just a very simple visual blockbuster, nothing more.

No one knows why it has such magic power.

However, I couldn’t resist everyone’s enthusiasm to watch this movie.

The same is true even in many places such as Europe and Southeast Asia.

All movie fans were attracted by the real world of dinosaurs and were completely obsessed with this movie.

If the box office of movies is enough to make a lot of money for many years, then the toys produced by Yaya Toy Factory are the real winners.

Just two days after the movie was released, sales figures for dinosaur toys were received for many years.

On the first day the movie was released, dinosaur-related toys already had a 70% growth rate.

You know, dinosaur toys were already a hot-selling product before the movie was released.

The result is now even more brutal, with dinosaur toys sold out in many toy store warehouses.

The store clerk and manager were forced to notify the store to replenish the goods quickly.

In Hong Kong Island in 1984, computers were already used for cash registers in many places, and communication-level applications were already very popular.

Just because we had money for many years, we spent a lot of money on these infrastructure projects.

After all, although computer investment is expensive, a computer may cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

But it is much better than artificial.

When I come to Hong Kong Island, many of the cashiers have already exceeded 3,000 to 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, which will be 30,000 to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars in a year.

Secondly, computerized cash registers can eliminate many management-related mistakes. With the addition of video surveillance and other means, it can be said that Huimin supermarkets, movie theaters, toy stores, etc. on Hong Kong Island are all very modernly managed.

This results in fewer incidents like cashiers stealing money.

On the whole, it's very, very good.

Movies are doing well at the box office and toy sales are rising, which has been expected for many years.

But he didn't expect it to be so popular all over the world, and it was simply more terrifying than a Category 12 tornado.

In such a noisy atmosphere, 1984 passed.

On the New Year's Eve of 1984, many years were spent not on Hong Kong Island, but with Qin Huairu and the others back to Xishui Village.

Because here in Xishui Village, several factories joined together to hold a quite big party.

Many celebrities were invited to perform on the same stage, and the audience was factory workers.

For example, the audio-visual disc company's factory has more than 6,000 workers.

It would be difficult to find a venue if held alone, and it would be a waste of money to invite celebrities to perform.

It would be better for several factories to come together and perform directly in a stadium just built last year on the outskirts of the city center of Jiangbei County.

This stadium is quite small and can accommodate more than 30,000 people watching at the same time.

Seven factories worked together, and almost all workers went by car to watch such a performance.

Hundreds of buses alone were hired to transport these workers in several rounds.

The audio and video disc factory where Alian works, the underwear factory where Liu Yongfen and others work, etc. all came to the stadium by bus.

Starting at 6:30 pm, after everyone arrived, the show almost started.

The guests were all celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and the songs they sang were all the most popular songs at the moment.

After all, today's VCD is no longer a high-tech player, but a crappy player.

In bustling business circles, you can hear these VCD players playing music non-stop every day.

Whether it is Hong Kong, Taiwan or the Mainland, many popular songs will be played.

Even the childhood and other songs that Bai Doufu sang more than ten years ago have been translated.

Therefore, many workers were immediately excited after hearing these songs.

After all, these songs are often played in the factory canteen.

As a big boss for many years, I just sat backstage and felt the atmosphere, that's all.

During the intervals between concerts, some grand prizes will also be launched.

There were more than 30,000 people in the audience, and each person was guaranteed at least 200 yuan.

This money is distributed directly on site, which is a participation award.

There is also a lottery that relies on employee numbers, which is done through the computer backend.

The technology is advanced enough.

Alian, who was favored by the goddess of luck, received a bonus of 200,000 yuan, which made her so excited that she fainted.

If the colleague next to her hadn't supported her, she might have fallen down on her seat. (End of chapter)
