Chapter 1103: Stop Recruiting New Members

If you can't buy it in stock, customers will make a reservation.

The film company has a hard time accepting bookings. You must know that they have previously produced two million pieces of various peripherals, including dolls and props. Each doll sells for an average of five US dollars, which is a sales volume of ten million US dollars.

The results were good, they were all sold out in just two days.

They underestimated the influence of this movie, especially the novel sci-fi approach that made the interstellar struggle so realistic.

Even the Kate Gate and the others were shocked, let alone ordinary people.

What you see for the first time will always leave the most profound impression on people. Many people have watched the movie several times, and they really have the feeling that they will never tire of it.

People who like movies especially like this one. Many people bought more than one of the peripheral products that came out. They bought them even if they didn’t eat. Many people bought one of every peripheral product.

Including weapons, starships and more.

How can such two million items be sold?

In less than a week, the pre-orders exceeded 10 million pieces. The film company was excited and invited more toy manufacturers to work overtime for their production.

They want to get these products to customers as quickly as possible.

Ten million pieces, mostly large ones, and the sales of these predetermined orders alone can reach 60 million.

Including the previous more than 10 million, that is to say, the sales volume of product peripherals has reached more than 70 million.

It was simply terrifying.

Time has passed slowly, and the US box office total of this shocking and epoch-making science fiction movie has finally been released.

One hundred and fifty-six million.

Strongly reaching the top of the box office championship.

The North American box office soon followed, and unsurprisingly it exceeded 200 million. Canada has a small population, but it contributed a lot to the box office. They also liked this movie very much and were shocked by it.

It is still being released in Europe, and the response is very good, and the box office is increasing every day. It has not started in South America yet, and the early publicity is very good. To promote the film, Loach went there in person, and the audience's expectations are high.

In Asia, several places with better box office are preparing, and the total box office is expected to exceed 10 million US dollars.

Calculating it this way, there is no problem if the global box office exceeds 300 million U.S. dollars. It depends on whether it can exceed 400 million U.S. dollars.

Whatever the final numbers are, the film will set a record at the box office.

Chu Lingyun's film company made a lot of money from this.

The movie did well at the box office and made money. Chu Lingyun was not stingy. The company directly rewarded him with three million. The director, screenwriter and starring actors were all rewarded, but the reward was not particularly large. The total amount was one million.

The biggest contributor to the success of this film is the hard work of the film company and Chu Lingyun's unconstrained creativity.

Excluding rewards and movie theater dividends, Chu Lingyun's final share was over 70 million.

Chu Lingyun directly distributed dividends to Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen according to this amount.

The two of them had a 30% share, and they took away 20 million US dollars, a little more than 10 million each. Fortunately, Ni Loach had already exceeded 10 million in assets. Shen Hanwen became a millionaire in such a stupid way. Millionaire.

He became a rich man without even knowing how.

Including his shares in the Loach TV Factory, his small TV station, previous dividends, etc., Shen Hanwen's current net worth is almost reaching 20 million US dollars.

Ni Loach and Chu Yuan asked him to treat him, but Shen Hanwen didn't care at all. He chose a place and ate as he pleased.

"Team leader, I'd like to toast you, thank you."

Shen Hanwen was treating guests, and Chu Lingyun was present. The place chosen by Ni Loach was either a particularly good restaurant, or Liu Chengzhu's, and the wine was also the best domestic liquor.

Shen Hanwen took the initiative to stand up and toast. He was not stupid. He understood that it was the team leader who specifically supported him, otherwise he would not have made so much money.

Ten million dollars, he didn't even know how to spend it.

At first, he didn't have much idea about ten million U.S. dollars. He knew it was a lot of money. Loach understood his situation and converted the ten million U.S. dollars into oceans for him.

Almost thirty million oceans, five thousand oceans per box, a full six thousand boxes.

Not to mention one house, ten houses wouldn't fit.

Thinking this way, Shen Hanwen was really shocked. Are these all his, alone?

And it's just the first dividend from the movie box office.

There is more to come.

This time, the box office share is in the United States, and then there will be box office shares in other countries. Except for Canada, the share in other countries is a little less, but no matter how small it is, the minimum share is 20%.

Calculated at US$100 million, it is a share of more than US$20 million.

Moreover, their overseas box office revenue is more than 100 million, with a minimum of 150 million.

With a share of 30 million US dollars, Shen Hanwen can get another 4.5 million in dividends.

Taking into account the brand factor, Chu Lingyun only gave them box office dividends and did not give them peripherals. If he had given them peripherals, Shen Hanwen would have become a millionaire just by relying on this movie series.

"Brothers, you don't need to be so polite. Now that there is no war, you have worked hard to get through the war. It's time to enjoy the blessings."

Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Shen Hanwen, like Loach, had been by his side from the beginning, loyal and loyal, through life and death.

Chu Lingyun would never treat his own people badly.

Chu Yuan is his brother-in-law, and he also owns shares in the pharmaceutical factory. According to the current market value of the pharmaceutical factory, Chu Yuan has assets of over 100 million, and he will not treat Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen badly.

Especially Shen Hanwen, a reckless man who could lose all his money on his own without the support of himself and Ni Loach.

"Team leader, thank you too."

After Shen Hanwen toasted, Niu Qiu hurriedly stood up. Although he already had assets of over 10 million, he was also very happy to earn tens of millions at a time.

He and Lily really liked these little gadgets.

Now that they have bought a big villa, they are ambitious to start a business. Earning more than 10 million will be of great help to their future development.

Niu Qiu is confident that he can make his company bigger and stronger.

"You deserve it. You did a good job this time."

Chu Lingyun raised his glass. Niu Qiu was responsible for publicity. He did a good job. The high box office was due to his contribution.

But Chu Lingyun still made the most money this time.

It's not just the box office share.

Tens of millions are nothing to Chu Lingyun, but this movie can be made into a series and form a separate brand in the future. This value is high. It can bring Chu Lingyun at least tens of billions of dollars in profits in the future.

And this is just Star Wars. How about a few other brands?

Chu Lingyun doesn't need to do too much. Just grab a few, such as Marvel.

Marvel is having a hard time now. There are many voices in the United States against comics, believing that comics are harmful. Marvel is now on the verge of collapse. Chu Lingyun has arranged for Liu Shukui to contact Marvel people, especially Mr. Stan.

Chu Lingyun will not directly occupy Marvel. Marvel is not important. The key is the content inside.

He just needs to occupy the shares first, wait for all these heroes to be born, and then acquire them in one fell swoop.

Now it is equivalent to nurturing, slowly raising them first. For Chu Lingyun, the money to raise them is simply insignificant.

The Spring Festival is coming. Since Chu Lingyun went to the United States to celebrate the Spring Festival, he has never returned to Taipei in these years.

However, the welfare benefits of the Inspection Office have not changed. Even if Chu Lingyun is not there, there is Zheng Guangtao. The people in the Inspection Office have once again had a good year.

The factory of the Inspection Office has good performance. Yu Huaqiang has done a good job. He plans to open a branch factory after the New Year to earn more extra money for the Inspection Office.

This year, he has the highest dividend.

Chu Lingyun once promised him a 5% dividend every year. The total profit of the Inspection Office this year reached 800,000 US dollars, and his dividend was 10,000 US dollars. With internal rewards, etc., he received almost 50,000 US dollars this year.

Not to mention in Taipei, even in the United States, 50,000 US dollars is not a small amount.

The average annual income of the United States last year was only more than 2,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 20 times that of Americans.

Even in the future, 50,000 US dollars is not a small amount.

According to this ratio, Americans in the future probably make more than 40,000 US dollars a year, and 20 times is 800,000 US dollars, which is indeed a lot.

The Inspection Office is happy, but Qi Limin is not happy.

After the failure of the two groups of agents, he activated two more groups of agents. Later, he learned that an important person was going to Southeast Asia for a meeting, so he conspired to assassinate him. Needless to say, he failed again.

This failure made the old man very disappointed in him. It is not easy for him to see the old man now.

This was absolutely unimaginable in the past. When did he fail to see the old man?

Even if the old man was really busy, he would meet him immediately after he was done.

Now, no matter whether there is something going on or not, he rarely agrees to see him.

Qi Limin already has a huge sense of crisis. He has offended too many people. Once he loses power completely, his death will follow.

Apart from other things, the eldest son and Chu Lingyun will definitely kill him.

Especially Chu Lingyun.

He has not returned from the United States, but his influence is still there. Qi Limin heard that the old man mentioned Chu Lingyun specifically during the meeting before the Chinese New Year, and even publicly praised Chu Lingyun.

He said that Chu Lingyun helped build Taipei, contributed a lot of strength, and brought an investment group directly from the United States.

Chu Lingyun did attract a lot of investment in the United States. It was originally a matter of affection and intention. If someone was willing to invest, Chu Lingyun would introduce it to the eldest son.

Taiwan is also Chinese. If it develops well, it will benefit its own people.

As for the military, even if it does not develop well, will they reduce military spending?

When you look at the domestic situation, you will know that there is no possibility at all.

Time passed slowly. After the Chinese New Year, the sales of Star Wars peripheral products were still hot, and it was not until April that they gradually slowed down.

In the past few months, the film company has made a lot of money through the sales of peripheral products.

The final sales volume was more than 100 million, which really surprised many people.

Relying on the sales of peripheral products alone, the profit was not less than the box office share. This was simply unimaginable in the past. Many film companies followed their example and began to vigorously develop peripheral products in order to open up a new way of making money, but their sales were obviously not comparable to Chu Lingyun's.

The main reason is that the influence of Star Wars movies is too great.

Coupled with the super strong ideology and science fiction factors, it has sold so much.

The global box office of Star Wars has also come to an end, with a total box office of more than 396 million, which failed to break 400 million, which is really a bit regrettable.

However, this is the first one. According to Chu Lingyun's plan, this is a series of movies.

There are not many movies in this series in the future. This time, Chu Lingyun plans to develop a few more and strike while the iron is hot. The second part of Star Wars will be filmed this year.

This time, more science fiction factors will be added.

And this time the investment is even bigger. Chu Lingyun directly allocated 20 million US dollars for investment. The last investment was 12 million, and an additional 2 million was added. This time it directly increased by 6 million US dollars.

And it is the initial investment.

Of the 20 million, the cost of publicity reached 5 million.

15 million is the production cost. The film will be more sophisticated and have a better story, especially in terms of special effects. Chu Lingyun told the entire crew not to be afraid of spending money. If you do it, you must make it a masterpiece. The 15 million must be spent. You can spend it. You can add investment to them later, but there must be no leftovers.

The special effects of later generations burned money, and the special effects of today are the same.

For example, if you want to shoot a good effect for an interstellar battleship, you must make extremely sophisticated models, make appropriate scenes, use multiple cameras to shoot these models, and assemble them into a realistic look in the movie.

There are also the interiors of the battleships, etc., which all require sophisticated production to achieve the effects they want.

They are not afraid of large investments. This time, a lot of new props have been added. After the movie is broadcast, I am afraid that these costs can be recovered only by the movie peripherals.

The people in the film company are even happier. The whole company is serving this movie again.

Now no one says that they can only make small productions.

They can also make large productions, and do them better. So far, no one can compare with Star Wars in the field of science fiction. This is their confidence.

Tokyo, Japan.

Carl was at the airport, sitting in a jeep. His uniform was very conspicuous, with a shining star.

Chu Lingyun was coming today.

When Chu Lingyun came to Japan, Mike would personally drive Chu Lingyun away whenever he came to pick him up at the airport. Carl wanted to learn from Mike, but he was a little nervous.

His influence and status could not be compared with Mike.

Chu Lingyun was his boss behind the scenes, not a supporter or friend like Mike.

"Mr. Chu."

Seeing Chu Lingyun get off the plane, Carl immediately went to meet him. The difference between him and Mike could be seen from the greeting alone.

If it was Mike, he would not be so polite. He would just hug Chu Lingyun, regardless of whether Chu Lingyun agreed or not.

Then he took him away and enjoyed the comfort of Mike's car.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Carl was happy to take Chu Lingyun into the car, but it was a pity that it was not like Mike, where there were only two of them in the car.

Chu Yuan followed and sat next to Chu Lingyun.

Carl didn't dare to drive fast like Mike, he just drove the car honestly. He looked like a driver, he didn't learn from Mike at all, but he imitated him.

In Japan, the number of Yuanjin Society members exceeded 500.

Yuanjin Society has grown very big, Chu Lingyun is ready to pause, digest the existing members, and recruit new members after they grow up.

Pausing and giving members more promotion can enhance the sense of identity and loyalty of all members.

Blindly recruiting new members is not necessarily a good thing.
