Chapter 165 Does the movie announcement need such a perverted way?(2/3)

Ah Hang, "..."

Ms. Mary, the Hinckley town representative who was making the reservation, was confused, "Wang Defake? You are asking for too much, right? Are you claiming compensation for hundreds or thousands of victims??"

In the plan, so many people were persuaded to support Mary in suing Pacific Gas and Electric Company on their behalf for hundreds of millions of dollars, but Mary's estimated profit was only over one million dollars.

Is your law firm so arrogant as a co-author?

Mary was shocked!

William glanced at Mary with a smile and said nothing, but Ah Hang spoke up, "You ask for too much. Your firm is not the only one of the top law firms in North America."

William then went to the wine cabinet to pour wine and gave Ahang and Ayun a glass of red wine each. "Try my collection. This is the top Romanée-Conti. Zhao's biggest purpose in promoting this class action lawsuit is to help promote his movie."

…”

"The more sensational the lawsuit is, the stronger the movie's profits will be. Not only will it have a good box office, but there will also be various honorary awards. Instead of giving too much of this small amount of money to the citizens, it is better..."

The big gangster named Zhao is an international predator who goes against Wall Street and steals meat. Does he care about the citizens' compensation?

"It's not that my ratio requirement can't be lowered. We can negotiate slowly from 50% to 30%. But after the claim amount is obtained, it can be kept in our hands for a year and a half, and then the money can be distributed to the people of Hinckley Town.

??”

"With a few hundred million US dollars and a year and a half of operation, there will be a lot of profit. I heard that Zhao has been speculating on the appreciation of the Japanese yen. What he did was so beautiful that it gave Wall Street a headache but couldn't find a solution."

"So when Zhao took a fancy to my company, Microsoft, many Wall Street giants also became interested, and that's why they joined forces to carve up Microsoft."

"Can these hundreds of millions be invested in the foreign exchange market?"

Ah Hang, "..."

William took a sip of wine and his laughter became even brighter, "Actually, Pacific Gas and Electric Group, I have heard of their name a lot. They like to spend money to run officialdom, hoping to continue to make money by increasing the price of electricity and gas."

"But their group has always turned a blind eye to proposals such as repairing various aging equipment and introducing new equipment to build a safe and environmentally friendly coal power grid in the new era."

"In the past, electrical fires occasionally occurred, but they were just minor troubles. This time... they were really big troubles!"

"Hang, I don't know much about the stock market, but Zhao behind you is an international capital and can compete with Wall Street. With such a movie prosecution plan, can we short the Pacific Gas and Electric Group in advance??"

"Short-selling in the stock market, once a lawsuit is filed and the stock price plummets, there is still money to be made! The most important thing is that the internal equity of this energy group is dispersed, which is like a leaderless situation."

Ah Hang was speechless again.

……………………

On Hong Kong Island, under the night of the 29th, Zhao Donghuai received a report from Emirates Airlines. Not only did William want a higher proportion of the compensation for the lawsuit, but he also wanted to short the Pacific Gas and Electric Group?

Director Zhao could only say that William thought too much.

With the release of the movie "Never Compromise" and the start of a lawsuit, it is certain that Pacific Gas and Electric Group's stock price will plummet, and it can be shorted.

But for short-selling U.S. stocks... the leverage ratio that can be used for financing is often a few times, which is far from the foreign exchange market.

Without a high multiple, it means you need to invest a lot of money in short selling, and if you make a small amount of money, it may be frozen accidentally.

It’s not that the Hong Kong authorities have never thought of illegally freezing his principal, they just took advantage of his ability to make friends.

You can make a small profit by doing things like short selling, but with Zhao Donghuai's current size, he doesn't care about such small opportunities and small money at all.

Old William wanted him to lead a team in short selling and make money along the way, which was even more of a dream.

After being speechless, he quickly said, "Within two days, try to sign a contract with William. I don't care whether he goes short or not. We won't get involved in this matter. The ratio he wants can be negotiated, and it should be below 40%."

"If you can't get it done in two days, change your law firm!"

As for whether old William will leak the secret? This is not a big problem. All kinds of evidence have been collected, and the victims are all alive there. There are hundreds of California townspeople, and they are just short of a team of lawyers.

Then Old William refused to accept the lawsuit and spread the news to the outside world. Don't blame Director Zhao for being careless and messing with him.

………………

July 1st.

Although (Never Compromise) is still in post-production, its promotion has already begun, starting in North America, starring Yinzabel Adjani, Laura Fernand, including the new white kung fu star Bruce Willi

Wait.

They began to be interviewed by TV stations, newspapers and magazines, and strongly promoted this drama about caring for the environment and protecting human health.

As for Hong Kong Chinese stars such as Zhang Guorong and Andy Lau, not to mention John Lone, a Chinese star who is still on the set of Forrest Gump, also strongly promoted the new film in interviews with the media.

Wong Wai Ming's street fight is also a channel for his voice. He is still promoting that "Never Compromise" is a masterpiece with a female protagonist launched by Hong Kong Pictures, such as "Super Body", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Shark Beach", etc.

Wait for a blockbuster movie.

The heroine resists everything!

The promotional campaign is mainly focused on North America, but there has been no movement in Hong Kong for the time being. The AMC theater chain there has already put up posters all over the place in eye-catching places, with the super beautiful photo of Yin Sabel Adjani occupying the entire poster screen.

Marvel Comics has spread to comic shops at retail terminals, and posters are everywhere.

But this is a basic operation before release.

The real announcement was the "lawsuit". After talking to Gai's father, William, he no longer expected to make money by shorting the stock market, but took away 35% of the compensation income.

The lawyer's letter, the indictment, etc. are all still waiting for the movie to be scheduled, and something big will happen on the premiere day.

The Pan-Asia Group, including some FBI undercover policemen, also began to frequently appear in the small town of Hinckley, California, calling on citizens to stand up and let Mary be their spokesperson to sue the big energy groups.

…………

It was under such circumstances that Zhao Donghuai met the creators of the (Rich and Rich) crew in the office.

He knew the news when the team was first formed, but he only knew that under the arrangement of Hong Yanbao, director Gao Zhisen chose Cai Shaofen as the youngest daughter and third child of the protagonist's family in "The Rich Man".

Now that the filming is finished, he is a little surprised to see the creative team.

The original version of Rich and Rich features Dong Piao's cousin Shen Feifei, three daughters Li Lizhen, Chen Yishi, Guan Peilin, and the eldest daughter Chen Yishi plays the couple as a couple.

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]

But in this version, the uncle is still there, but the aunt is actually replaced by Deborah... The eldest daughter's younger brother is played by Ye Yuqing, the second daughter's younger brother is Li Lizhen, and the third daughter Cai Shaofen plays opposite Ye Yuqing, Yuan Biao!

This lineup is also considered a major change.

After Hong Qinbao greeted the main creator politely, he smiled and said, "Sheng Zhao, Wealth and Power were formed at the end of April. It took two months of filming and it was finally completed. I have seen that the finished film is pretty good. Do you think about the schedule?"

Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and nodded, "Let's go and watch it in the screening room. Although the film I directed (Never Compromise) will be released around the 10th, your film is now released and there is no big conflict. The genre is completely different.

.”

Hong Qinbao was overjoyed, and the other main creators happily followed Zhao Donghuai into the luxurious screening room of the Financial Building.

After a movie ended, Zhao Donghuai said with a smile, "Arrange two or three days to announce it and release it on the 4th. This movie is not bad, and it can do well at the box office. Sanmao, when it becomes a hit at the box office, don't forget to send a message to the creators."

Red envelope."

Strictly speaking, compared to other contemporary Hong Kong films, the movie "Rich and Rich" is not very funny. There are kidnappers and police officers who break the case, but the action scenes are ordinary. In the original version, the only beauty who can be considered good-looking is Li Lizhen.

But he is a rebellious tomboy.

However, the original version was able to gross more than 27 million at the box office, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of the year.

Why? Because this movie hits the high points of countless ordinary Hong Kong families. It tells the story of a middle-class man who is in embarrassment, with a couple raising three children. He goes to dinner with relatives but is ostracized because of poverty, and then wins 30 million in the lottery.

Lost and found again.

Just like Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Cheng Yinjian, Zhang Xueyou, including actresses such as Li Ruotong, Wen Bixia, Qiu Shuzhen, etc., so many celebrities are almost all from ordinary Hong Kong families, with three or four fewer siblings and nine more.

Ten of them.

In order to raise their children, parents face various embarrassments and poverty in their daily lives.

There are so many examples among celebrities. You can imagine how many similar examples there are among ordinary citizens' families. Even Zhang Weifan of Wanjia Supermarket Kwun Tong store lived in a low-rent apartment with his parents, Zhang Weifan, his younger brother, and his sister.

Live life in the house.

Therefore, it is a funny movie about a poor family with a few children and daily financial constraints, and a windfall of 30 million yuan was lost and recovered.

This is its core selling point!

The story has reached the hearts of most citizens in Hong Kong and can arouse great resonance.

Therefore, after Gao Zhisen came up with this script, it not only made more than 27 million at the box office in one fell swoop, but also ranked fourth in the annual box office. The subsequent films also achieved good results.

This revised version of "Rich and Rich" has changed many protagonists, but the core story is there. Deborah's acting skills are no worse than Shen Feifei's, and Ye Yuqing's version of the younger brother is much more beautiful and charming than Chen Yishi.

Even Yuen Biao's acting and comedy skills are no worse than those of Eric Tsang.

This movie won't do well in the island nation of South Korea, but within Hong Kong, its performance won't be bad. As long as it's not bad in Hong Kong, the sales figures in other places won't be too bad either.

Hong Qinbao smiled beamingly, "Thank you Zhao Shengji for your words, the box office is a hit, I will definitely not be stingy with my red envelope, haha~"

Gao Zhisen, Ye Yuqing, Li Lizhen, etc. naturally had a lot of good things to say, and each one was more excited than the other.

It is said that Li Lizhen, the actress, was cut out of one of her early masterpieces (Happy Ghost) series in the original track, but currently, she was discovered by a talent scout in 1981 and started filming commercials.

I have acted in a few movies before, but I was not well-known and did not make any big splash.

Starting from July 1st, we started to promote the movie "Wealth and Power", which lasted for three days. This movie is a family comedy with Yuan Biao and Dong Piao as the selling points. It tells the story of an ordinary ordinary family who wins a lottery windfall of 30 million yuan.

story.

When July 4th came, it was launched in Zhao's 26 theaters, and the film was scheduled for 52 screens. It made a box office of 1.6 million on the first day, and 2 million on the second day on the 5th!
