Chapter 2196 One Is Deserted and the Other Is Popular (Third Update)

When Yin Jun returned to Xiangjiang, Microsoft's stock was still rising.

After soaring 60% in the first day, it has been rising slightly in the past few days, and its market value has exceeded the 9 billion US dollar mark.

Even if there will be some ups and downs later, it is not very important.

Because if the financial report at the end of the year comes out and the turnover and profit are in line with expectations, it can exceed 10 billion US dollars no matter what!

As a result, stock market experts around the world admire Yin Jun greatly.

Not only them, but also young people who work hard and start businesses in Silicon Valley also regard Yin Jun as the best talent in the world.

In the two weeks that the boy was in the United States, he received more than 300 financing requests and entrepreneurial funding.

These are all selected by the company's staff, and they all have some foundation or look reliable.

If it's all useless, trying hard to sell concepts and nonsense, the total number will be at least 1,000 copies.

Yin Jun brought these financing requests and entrepreneurial funding documents back to Xiangjiang.

In fact, he had already watched most of it on the plane.

Unfortunately, not many of the financing requests and entrepreneurial funding requests in front of him are of interest to Yin Jun.

Even if I find it somewhat interesting, I have never heard of it in later generations.

However, Yin Jun did not give up just like that.

He still thinks that investing more than 20 shares would cost more than 3 million US dollars.

It's not because they are cheap, but because Yin Jun thinks they have a future, otherwise he won't waste a penny.

In the past life of Silicon Valley, thousands of companies were established every year, and thousands more would go bankrupt.

There was no shortage of creative and excellent things, but due to various reasons, they did not succeed in the end.

Yin Jun wanted to see if these companies would have the chance to grow and develop if he supported them.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. This is an attempt anyway, and it definitely doesn't have to be successful.

For a person who likes entertainment, Yin Jun naturally likes to see the performance of movies, TV series and other markets.

After returning to Xiangjiang and having time to stroll around with his wives, Yin Jun took the time to read the news about the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang during this period.

First of all, the first one is from the TV industry.

Kylin TV's summer drama "101 Proposals", which started airing at the end of May, did not become as popular as expected.

Liang Xiaolong suddenly changed from Chen Zhen, who fought fiercely, to a middle-aged man who was too honest and even a little pitiful. The contrast was really too great.

This setting has attracted many viewers from the beginning.

As a result, after watching two or three episodes, the audience couldn't help but cursed and said they were fooled.

Why?

Liang Xiaolong is really such a coward, he is useless and knows nothing, he is the most honest and the most bullied.

Forgetting his repeated failed blind dates, nothing goes smoothly at work or in life. This makes people wonder if this TV series is intentionally torturing people?

After finally meeting the heroine played by Qi Yuzhen, everyone thought that his fortune must have turned around. He must have had a good career and love, and he could finally be happy...

But things didn't develop as they imagined.

Of course Qi Yuzhen still looked down on Liang Xiaolong at first, but Liang Xiaolong liked her very much and clumsily used various ways to get along with her.

Slowly, everyone was suffocated and gained some new insights.

Isn't Liang Xiaolong's working and living situation that of ordinary people?

When we reach middle age, we are always faced with troubles of one kind or another, and we are always filled with sorrows and sorrows of one kind or another.

However, even so, Liang Xiaolong did not give up, he still lived strong and worked hard to seek his own happiness.

After thinking about it like this, everyone finally began to calm down and slowly looked at how this miserable middle-aged man could change his destiny.

At least you can win a beautiful woman, right?

But in the next ten or so episodes, the situation still hasn't changed much, and the relationship between the two is still so dull and boring.

Among the audience, some scolded the male protagonist for being useless, some scolded the heroine for being too pretentious, and some scolded Yin Jun for writing such a script...

Even amid such criticism, the number of viewers is constantly rising.

From the lowest point of 15 million in the fourth episode, to the current 18 episodes, it has risen to 40 million.

If it were an ordinary TV series, it would be very good to have 40 million viewers.

But considering that the screenwriter is Yin Jun and the leading actor is Liang Xiaolong, this achievement seems to be a little worse.

It is not known yet whether this drama can reach 50 million viewers, which is the passing line between high-quality dramas and ordinary dramas, but if it follows this trend, it should not be a big problem.

It is worth noting that at least half of the 40 million collectors are from Japan and South Korea.

Male viewers in both countries commented very fiercely.

Because they saw themselves reflected in the protagonist of this TV series.

Some of them are in their 20s, some are in their 30s, and some are even over 50 years old.

But without exception, these viewers feel that this is telling their past, present, and future lives.

Life is not easy!

These two countries are now the most developed countries in Asia.

Everyone envies their prosperity and their wealthy life.

But how many people know that such a prosperous country is actually supported by ordinary people like the hero played by Liang Xiaolong through constant hard work?

The glamorous ones are just the group of people at the top.

Most employees in small companies and factories live similar lives to him.

You said, how could they not like this TV series because of this kind of empathy that directly touches their souls?

Because of this, Chen Zhen, the former anti-Japanese hero, has become a very popular actor in these two countries.

South Korea is more interested in anti-X heroes.

There are even Korean companies that have applied for endorsement ads for Liang Xiaolong.

It is precisely because of the support of viewers in these two countries that Kylin TV feels that it should not be a big problem for "101 Proposals" to reach an average viewership of 60 million.

At least this saves face for Yin Jun and Liang Xiaolong.

Yin Jun himself didn't care.

"101 Proposals" is known as one of Japan's "Pure Love Trilogy" in the 1990s, and it certainly has its charm.

The current audience has not yet settled down to watch.

The plot has not developed to the most confusing stage.

When both are available, it would be strange if the maximum number of viewers does not exceed 80 million!

Compared with the ups and downs of "101 Proposals", "The Gambler", which was released in early June and starred by Kirin Film newcomer Zhou Xingchi and outsiders, was an absolute hit!

The box office of "The Gambler" in the first weekend surpassed the hit "Trilogy 2" in the previous two months, reaching a super high box office of 250 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is of course because Yu Zheng specially arranged for it to be released on 800 screens, but the excellent quality of the film and the baggage of all kinds of jokes are also important reasons for the high box office.

Zhou Xingchi was not famous before, so not many people were attracted to the cinema in the first week.

By the second week, word of mouth spread, and many people not only came to see it themselves, but also recommended it to their friends.

As a result, it was only Wednesday, and the weekly box office reached HK$100 million, which is beyond the imagination of many people in Hong Kong.

Considering that the third week of release is the day when students start to pay for the movie, I am afraid that the box office decline will become very small, maybe not even half.

If that happens, the total box office will exceed HK$700 million, which will be great.

Once it reaches HK$700 million, Zhou Xingchi will definitely become famous in the Hong Kong film industry and become a truly hot new star!

There are only icing on the cake in front of others, not much help in times of need.

Zhou Xingchi has been surrounded by many people these days, and many scripts have been placed in front of him, hoping that he can star in them.

The remuneration offered by these film companies is not low, reaching more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

How much was Zhou Xingchi's salary for filming "The Gambler"?

It’s only 1 million Hong Kong dollars. If the box office is good in the end, there will definitely be a big red envelope, but according to common sense, it is only two to three million Hong Kong dollars.

If Zhou Xingchi writes five or six scripts like this, he can earn 30 million Hong Kong dollars in just half a year!

Faced with such temptation, Zhou Xingchi looked at the script as if he had pink eye.

When Yin Jun heard the news, he didn't blame those companies for driving up prices, but that times had changed.

In the previous life around 1986, Hong Kong movie stars could get HK$1 million, which was only possible for very good superstars, such as Cheng Long.

In 1988, when Cheung Suet-you played a supporting role for Hung Kam-bao, he was still the number one supporting actor and it only cost 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The remuneration of Hong Kong movie stars really skyrocketed when theater operators and investors from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan entered the market.

At that time, sky-high film salaries of 3 million, 5 million or even 10 million Hong Kong dollars appeared.

But this life is different.

Yin Jun opened up movie theaters across Asia. Xiangjiang movies are more fierce and better-looking than in previous generations, accounting for more than half of the box office in Asia.

Under such circumstances, as long as your film is decent and not poorly edited, Kirin Cinema will more or less help arrange for it to be released in theaters across Asia.

Even if it is only released on 100 screens, compared to the situation 4 years ago when Xiangjiang was released on 10 screens, it would be seven or eight times better. If the box office increased three to five times, there would be no problem at all.

So of course, stars are paid higher, so what does it matter?
