People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 425 Breaking Through History
In the blink of an eye, time has come to December 1978, 12.

Today is a very special day. In the Gregorian calendar, today is the last day of 1978!
Early in the morning, Su Cheng got up early with Gillian and Amei waiting on him.

Then, as usual, we went out for a morning jog with the two beauties.

Gillian and Mei came back the day before yesterday. After spending Christmas with their parents at home, they could not wait to return to Hong Kong.

Although Gillian and Amei knew that their identities meant that they would not be able to gain status in Su Cheng.

However, they are already very satisfied with their current lives. So what if they follow such a man and have no status?

It was a bit chilly in the winter morning, but after the run, the three of them were all sweating slightly, but they didn't feel cold at all.

After returning to the villa from outside, Su Cheng first went back to the sofa in the living room on the third floor, sat down, and turned on the TV.

Gillian and Amei were downstairs arranging breakfast and newspapers for Su Cheng.

At this time, it happened to be the morning news period of Jiayi TV Station.

Ever since Su Cheng provided Jiayi TV with numerous variety show ideas, TV series scripts, etc., Jiayi TV's ratings have never fallen, and it has been ranked first among Xiangjiang TV stations for a long time.

In order to surpass the ratings of Jiayi TV, these two TV stations, TVB and Li's TV, tried every means, but in the end they failed to surpass Jiayi TV in ratings.

The result of this is naturally that the advertising fees of Jiayi TV Station continue to rise, while the advertising fees of TVB and Li's TV Station continue to fall.

According to Brother Wu’s intelligence information, these two TV stations have suffered varying degrees of losses in the past two months.

However, these two TV stations have large financial groups behind them, and they can still persist in the short term.

However, if this continues for a long time, if the TV stations in Xiangjiang change from a three-legged structure to a dominant one, TVB and Li's TV station may go bankrupt sooner or later.

After all, no matter how much money the consortium has, it cannot continue to lose money.

Most of today's news didn't have any new highlights. However, after watching it for 10 minutes, the host broke a piece of news that Su Cheng was interested in.

"As of December 12, the box office of the movie "Junior" shot by Jiayi Film Company in Hong Kong has officially exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the first movie in the history of Hong Kong to exceed 1012.8 million Hong Kong dollars in box office. At the same time As early as a few days ago, it surpassed the HK$8 million box office of "The Contract" directed and starred by Xu Guanwen, which was released in August this year. It has been officially confirmed to be the annual box office champion in 782, and "Junior" started on December 1978 It has only been released for 12 days since it was released at 7 noon. Next, "Junior" is expected to continue to break its own record and become a film that is difficult to surpass at the box office!"

"Hey, it exceeded 1000 million Hong Kong dollars so early?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.

In the previous life, although the final box office of "Junior" also exceeded 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching a good result of 1102 million Hong Kong dollars, it also became the first movie in the history of Hong Kong movies to exceed 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, in the previous life, "Junior Brother Goes Out" was broadcast for two months before being released, and finally achieved this result.

But now, "Junior", which has exceeded 1000 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, has been released for only 24 days, not even a month.

With such good results, it is natural that it cannot be released for only one month.

Therefore, next, the final Hong Kong box office of "Junior Brother" has a chance to exceed 1500 million Hong Kong dollars!
The reason why "Junior Comes Out" has such good results is mainly due to the support of Shaw Brothers Cinema.

In order to prevent Golden Harvest Films' "The Pact" from becoming the box office hit of 1978, Shaw Brothers Cinemas chose to proactively become the release channel for "Junior Brother".

This will naturally lead to a great increase in the number of cinemas showing "Junior Brother" in Hong Kong, reaching 51 cinemas in Hong Kong showing it at the same time, which is already more than three-quarters of the cinemas in Hong Kong.

The end result, of course, was excellent box office performance.

Moreover, because the movie "Junior Comes Out" was performed very well, many viewers went to the cinema for a second or even third viewing, which also provided a very good boost to its box office.

And this is just the box office of the film market in Hong Kong.In addition to the movie box office in Xiangjiang, "Junior Brother" is also broadcast in Haojiang, Wanwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Siam, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and other places.

With Sioux City's current reputation, it is simply too easy to open up overseas markets for Jiayi Film Company.

Therefore, this movie will definitely make a lot of money.

At this time, Gillian and Ami also went upstairs carrying breakfast and newspapers.

Today’s breakfast in Sioux City is an egg and beef rice roll with a glass of milk.

The same goes for Gillian and Ami's breakfast.

After Su Cheng took a sip of milk, he put down the cup and picked up a copy of Oriental Daily.

Today, the headline news of "Oriental Daily" is the news that the box office of "Junior" has exceeded the 1000 million Hong Kong dollar mark.

The description in the article is much more detailed than the news broadcast by Jiayi TV Station.

However, TV news has time limits after all and is usually just a briefing.

Unlike newspaper articles, there is no big limit on the range of numbers.

Therefore, the description and details in the article even reach the level of how much the movie box office is every day.

Su Cheng read this article carefully with interest.

1000 million Hong Kong dollars, considering Su Cheng's current worth, is not a lot of money.

But this is not a question of more money or less, but a good start.

"Junior Brother Goes Out" is only the first movie actually shot and released by Jiayi Film Company. Next, more movies will be shot one after another and then released in many places around the world.

Including the revenue from overseas markets, a box office of more than HK$4000 to 5000 million is definitely possible, and even a box office of more than HK$[-] million is not impossible.

The original investment cost of "Junior Brother Goes Out" was just over 200 million.

You can imagine how high the profits are.

Su Cheng has already given ten movie scripts to Jiayi Film Company. Within the next year, these ten movies will definitely be released one after another.

And these 10 movies have all passed the test of box office, and there is a strong need for sequels.

If all of these movies are not only released within one year, but also have second sequels, then Jiayi Film Company will be equivalent to showing 20 movies in one year.

The box office of each film plus all the movies in overseas markets reaches HK$4000-[-] million, so the total box office of Jiayi Film Company for the whole year will reach HK$[-] million.

Jiayi Film Company has its own release channels, and the benefits it creates for Su City are much greater than those of other film production companies. After all, the revenue from Su City's theaters also belongs to Su City.

Excluding some channel expenses, it is absolutely no problem to earn [-]-[-] million yuan from this [-]-[-] million yuan in revenue.

This is just the income of a subsidiary!
In addition to Jiayi Film Company, the other subsidiaries are also continuously creating profits for Su City. Added together, it is a very scary figure.
