Chapter 319 Excellent peripherals and reputation
In the movie theater next to Chinatown, Jack Zhao and Irene's merchandise store was brightly lit. Store manager Liu Yue was instructing clerk Wang Zhenzhen and others to quickly distribute goods, waiting for the midnight show audience to leave.

Jack Zhao and Irene have already married late, and Irene is still pregnant, so they are resting at home, while Jack Zhao personally sits in the store, waiting for sales data from other branches.

A handsome white man also came over at this time and held the hand of an Oriental woman.

"Collins, why are you here free?" Jack Zhao put on a warm smile and hugged Collins.

Collins is the largest peripheral marketer in the Bay Area and is said to have a good relationship with a senior Disney executive.

Relying on his father-in-law's connections, Jack Zhao met Collins and became one of Collins' largest partners in the Bay Area.

Collins smiled and said: "I'm here to see how the sales of "Lord of the Rings" peripherals are doing? This is related to our performance this year."

"Don't worry," Jack Zhao said confidently: "I will definitely create brilliant results, I have a hunch. At the end of the day today, my eight stores combined have sold US$130,000 worth of merchandise. ”

"That's good," Collins reassured: "Some of these goods are manufactured in factories in China, and I'm afraid the quality is not up to standard.

But it seems that the factory there is quite responsible. Not to mention the low cost, the quality is no worse than in North America. "

"It's okay, you go ahead, let's go shopping..." After Collins finished speaking, he took Ziyi Zhang around the store.

These fans don't even consider whether they can wear it or whether it fits them properly, for fear that others will take away their items if they are late.

"The show is about to end, Collins. You guys sit down while I work first." Jack Zhao said.

"Part of it is that the factory there has not yet been fully constructed. By next year, most of the peripheral products will be produced in China and then shipped to North America." Collins answered.

The oriental woman on the side looked curiously at this large peripheral goods store. She was stunned when she heard this sentence and immediately asked: "Dear, are all these products produced in China?"

Even the Princess of Rohan dress priced at US$399 and the Arwen elf armor priced at US$599 were snapped up by enthusiastic fans.

Perhaps the life-size model of Gandalf's prancing horse and whip displayed in the peripheral merchandise store was too attractive, and many midnight showgoers rushed towards the peripheral stores.

Jack Zhao also looked happy, and he didn't forget to joke: "That's great, I also have money for the baby's milk powder."

As for Gandalf's wizard hat, white robe, Aragorn and Arwen's swords, Legolas' bow, dolls, necklaces and pendants, etc., they are all sold out.

At this time, the audience at the midnight show had already come out one after another.

He also introduced this Oriental woman to Jack Zhao: "This is my girlfriend, a Chinese actor named Zi Yizhang. She acted in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Zi Yizhang followed Collins to Jack Zhao. Jack Zhao looked happy: "It's very good. In just over an hour, the store generated sales of US$6."

Jack Zhao shook hands with Zi Yi Zhang in a friendly manner and chatted for a while.

Collins was very satisfied: "It seems that you are going to make a fortune, Jack Zhao. After the official premiere, one store's sales in a week can exceed one million."

Zi Yizhang was surprised to find that these movie fans seemed to be possessed. When they entered the store, they didn't even look at the price and just picked and picked up.

Store manager Liu Yue kept arranging replenishment and was busy for nearly an hour before the frenzied wave of merchandise dissipated.

This summer, "Rush Hour 2" starring her and Jack Cheng will also be released. "

Collins was very satisfied with the performance of the surrounding stores. After chatting with Jack Zhao about the upcoming work, he left with Zi Yizhang.

On the way back, Ziyi Zhang also asked Collins: "If you just watch a movie, why would anyone waste money on peripheral products?"

"Honey, you don't understand, if these fans don't buy it, how am I going to make a fortune?" Collins said. Ziyi Zhang thought so, but she still couldn't understand it. After all, the business model of Hollywood is completely different from that of the Chinese film industry.

It’s not that there is no such thing as peripheral products, but it is simply unheard of to create such a high sales volume in one day. According to Collins, that's not even the most exaggerated moment.

Premiere weekend is when peripheral merchandise explodes.

Ziyi Zhang got involved with Collins because of his relationship with Disney executives. The success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" gave Ziyi Zhang the determination to break into Hollywood.

Now her press releases in China are all about international superstar Ziyi Zhang, and people give her the nickname International Chapter.

Even if you can't make it in Hollywood, you can still export to domestic sales, which is a good choice.

Of course, it would be better if he could survive, and it would be best if Collins could hold Little Gilbert's thigh, which was the thickest thigh.

Little Gilbert didn't know Zi Yi Zhang's many convoluted thoughts, and he had no interest in Zi Yi Zhang. Not to mention anything else, both the fairy sister and the powerful little Gilbert can do it.

Of course, this is just a thought, not necessarily something to do. There are too many women, and little Gilbert is also very troubled!
No, little Gilbert woke up in the morning, with Anne Hathaway lying in his arms on the left, Cameron Diaz on the right, and Naomi Watts lying on her body.

Three women surrounded him, and little Gilbert felt that his hands and feet were numb.

After finally taking his hand out, Cameron Diaz leaned over again in a daze, entangled little Gilbert, making him unable to move.

Little Gilbert pulled out again, and this time no one was bothering him. Little Gilbert was able to get up from the bed, wash his face and brush his teeth.

The housekeeper Kyoko had prepared breakfast and the newspapers had been delivered. Masae and Sayuri served little Gilbert for breakfast.

Assistant Anna came over early in the morning. After Kyoko brought her coffee, Anna reported to little Gilbert the situation of yesterday's early and midnight performances.

"Yesterday, there were 2200 early screenings, and a total box office of 264 million US dollars was obtained. The average attendance rate at midnight screenings reached %."

"Eighty-five percent?" Little Gilbert paused and asked, "How much is "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"?"

"Eighty percent."

"Eighty percent? Yes, you continue."

Anna continued to report: "Our affiliated investigation agency collected survey data from 160,000 survey reports. The A+ rating reached 95%, and the A+ rating reached 98%.

Below C, less than one percent...

In terms of media ratings, 97 media rated it, with an average score of . This is a must-see masterpiece.

The IMDB rating hasn't been lifted yet, but I think it won't be lower than nine. "

"Not bad, how about the box office performance of the midnight show?" After eating the bread and drinking the milk, little Gilbert was very happy when he heard the excellent data performance.

"The midnight box office grossed US$983 million, once again breaking the midnight box office record set by "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."
Congratulations, boss, it looks like we're about to hit it big again. "

Great success is inevitable.

Anna has been Little Gilbert's assistant for so many years and has become accustomed to Little Gilbert's success. If little Gilbert fails one day, that will be big news!
