Global Movie Emperor

"Ohhhhhhhhh~"

"What are they doing? So noisy?"

Elena opened the hotel room door, and instantly, the excited roars of a group of people reached her ears. She walked in with a frown, and saw a group of people headed by Mickey sitting on the sofa, cheering for the anime characters on TV. , took a look at the picture, it was quite bloody, no wonder it aroused the excitement of these big men.

"I'm watching that Attack on Titan thing, but unfortunately I'm not interested... Do you want something to drink?"

"Anything is fine."

After getting the answer, Elena took out a bottle of coconut milk and handed it to Lu Ze. Mickey discovered this thing. After a few sips, he was so shocked that he immediately took it back to the hotel to share it with everyone. Looking at the sofa There were more than ten empty boxes of coconut milk on the coffee table. Lu Ze could guess how popular this thing was with them.

The iced coconut milk tastes very good. I opened it and drank half of the box in one go. I sat on the side of the L-shaped sofa and did not join the queue to watch TV. I saw an aluminum tube from Romeo and Juliet on the table and thought of myself. Open it, pick up the musket, rotate the cigar and light it so that it burns fully and begins to emit aroma.

Mickey, who was obsessed with the plot, seemed to smell the smell of burning cigars before he noticed Lu Ze coming over. He picked up the empty aluminum tube, opened his hands still stained with potato chip seasoning powder, and complained to Lu Ze.

"That's my ration today! It's very expensive to buy in China, much more expensive than in the UK."

"Pause the TV for a moment. The box office report for the first week is out. Let's take a look."

The paper report was placed on the table. When we got down to business, turning off the TV did not cause anyone to complain. Mickey frowned and picked up the report and looked at it slowly, but his hands were not honest. He moved slowly on the table and successfully took advantage of Lu Ze's absence. Pay attention, pick up the cigar placed in the ashtray and put it in your mouth.

"Seven hundred and thirty million? Oh my God, Elena! Do the math! What is the current exchange rate? One to seven point one? How much is it?"

"That's just over 100 million."

Due to different regulations in different countries, Lu Ze is in charge of the box office and various data in the Chinese market. Except for the box office on the first day, Lu Ze only called to inform Mickey and others about the general situation. Now, a result is very A complete and good box office report was placed on the table, and Mickey discovered that "Exile" actually made so much money!

Combined with the box office revenue of other countries calculated by Universal Brothers accountants, "Exile" has now earned $240 million in box office worldwide. Nearly half of the box office came from China. This shows how strong China's huge box office is. The ability to attract money, of course, is also related to the strong support of theaters.

It's just... this is the income before each company's share is excluded. If the share is excluded, the income that can fall on the Global Brothers account... is only about 50 million dollars.

Even though this film was reviewed and approved based on the qualifications of a Sino-foreign joint venture, after all, Lu Ze’s investment was made to Global Brothers in the UK, and the shares he held in Global Brothers also belonged to foreign companies. The essence of Sino-foreign co-production is still The British capital invested in the production, so the share of the share must be determined according to the rules. The 25% share is the same as for all imported films, and no special treatment will be given.

This also made everyone who was originally happy to hear that they had won more than 100 million box office suddenly stop laughing. These days, they have seen rave reviews and widespread praise in China. This group of creative teams who were praised a little bit even started to I fantasize about what kind of luxury car I should reward myself with, but after calculating this, the income created in one week is just enough to recoup the original cost...

Not only China, except for some Nordic countries and the United Kingdom, which have relaxed tax collection, this is generally the case in all countries. The tax on imported films is very strict.

"So... we actually haven't made any money at all now?"

"You could say that."

After receiving the answer, Mickey suddenly lost his face, drank the coconut milk in one gulp, held a cigar between his arms, buried his body into the soft sofa and began to meditate.

"Originally I wanted to buy a private jet..."

"I think you look like a plane. Don't worry, you're just greedy for Fatini's plane."

It seemed that Lu Ze had touched his heart. He retorted unnaturally, saying that it was for everyone's consideration. Anyone in the company who wanted to use it could just get on and leave. But in fact, no one except himself had any idea. Over buying a private jet.

After discussing for a long time and roughly guessing how much box office revenue could be generated in the remaining time, the matter finally came to an end and the TV was turned on again, but this time, it was difficult for everyone to focus on the animation. Now, let’s study the air tickets and discuss when to leave.

"Why don't you all leave and come home with me? It's your first time in China and you can also experience the New Year in the Chinese countryside."

Everyone was interested, but in the end this option was rejected. They still had too much to do when they went back. Kesha and Lucas' death-seeking mentality emerged again, and they were preparing to go to Amazon to shoot another documentary. Now They have already started researching the route and itinerary. When the money is in place and the filming of "Atonement" is completed, the two of them will leave and prepare to live with the indigenous African tribes for half a year.

Mickey also has to write the script of "No One Can Hear", and the company is also expanding. Recently, many talents in the film industry have submitted their resumes to "Global Brothers", and he will be required to interview them one by one. He had many children, and he also wanted to go back to the Chinese New Year, but he really didn't have enough time, so he could only make an appointment next year, and he would definitely come back again.

As for the others... those who are interested, those who are not, all of them have lost their minds. After all, everyone knows that they are just a foil to Lu Ze's invitation, and none of the people who are actually invited will go. Why are they messing around?

So, they booked their tickets and left this afternoon. Lu Ze didn't try to stay any longer. Seeing them starting to pack their luggage, he didn't move. He sat on the sofa and booked a ticket back to Lu Hua.

Send them to the airport first. After the Chinese New Year, Lu Ze will go to the UK. It only lasts for a month. Naturally, there is no feeling of reluctance. After the group boarded the plane, he left and went to the supermarket for a stroll. What was on his mind at home? There was everything, and there was no shortage of anything. In the end, I only came out with two jars of sesame paste.

Six hours later, after getting off the high-speed train, a cold wind blew. It was much colder than the imperial capital. I tightened the collar of my windbreaker, returned to the tavern, ordered two dishes from the restaurant next door, and took a few sips of white wine.

The lame man was circling greedily, glancing at it under the light, and his saliva was so bright that it dazzled his eyes. Just like that, he still didn't get a bite of food. He lost his temper and got out when Lu Ze opened the door. He wanted to run away from home. , the result is naturally a good beating. Looking at it sometimes, I always feel that it has more sperm than ordinary cats, but it just doesn’t forget to use it in the right place. It is lazy and lazy. It has a cat body, but it has a big belly. pig heart.

After taking a bath, he continued to perfect the first book in his life until midnight, when he became sleepy. He took off his anti-blue light glasses, picked up the lame man and returned to the bedroom to rest.

But while I was lying in bed for half a minute, a phone call came. I picked it up and took a look. It was Mitch calling. They must have transferred to Singapore now.

"Hello?"

"What did these scoundrels do? Do I blame them? Do the police work for nothing? No one has been caught? How about old Gil? As long as everything is fine, it has nothing to do with him. He is an old man who works in the mail room. You let him Stand up and stop me, aren't you forcing things on others? These crazy people! I'm not done with them, have I lost something?"

"Hello? What's going on?"

"Someone from my company fucked me!"

"..."
