In her past life, she owned five properties in Capital City and drove a G-wagon. When she opened her eyes, she had become a peasant girl in the 1980s.
Her father, aiming for a brighter future...
She used to dislike dinosaurs because she couldn't imagine what they looked like. There were very few popular science books in mainland China, and most of them didn't include pictures. Song Xiaohua found it difficult to glean the true appearance of dinosaurs from cold, hard data.
Now that I've seen the movie, I realize how amazing the Jurassic period was!
The dinosaurs, ecology, and animals here are astonishing, along with the erupting volcanoes, clear water, and towering trees.
Song Xiaohua exclaimed repeatedly, because the special effects were so good that when several dinosaurs stepped down, everyone felt that they were in danger and couldn't help but scream. After they realized what was happening, they all looked at each other and laughed, and continued to immerse themselves in the wonderful movie.
The movie is 135 minutes long, and Song Xiaohua still felt like she hadn't had enough after watching it.
She needed to use the restroom halfway through the movie, but because the ticket price was too expensive and she didn't want to miss any exciting moments, she held it in.
Seeing that she seemed quite happy, Chen Xingwen smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"It's fantastic! I've never seen such a wonderful movie! It truly makes me feel happy! The filmmakers deserve the world's respect for bringing imagined scenes to life! What about you? Did you enjoy it?"
This was the first time Song Xiaohua had taken the initiative to ask Chen Xingwen.
Chen Xingwen was quite excited. He liked Song Xiaohua very much, but he wasn't good at expressing himself.
"I think it's very good. There are basically no logical flaws, and the reconstruction of the Jurassic period is quite in line with the encyclopedia. Some scenes are even better than I imagined. There are a few places where I'm not sure if there were such dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, so I have to check the information."
Song Xiaohua isn't a stickler for historical accuracy; she just thought the movie was fantastic.
It's so beautiful that words can't describe it!
How can there be such a good movie in the world?
"This must be a Hollywood production! It must be filmed in the United States, right?" Song Xiaohua exclaimed excitedly.
Chen Xingwen shook his head. "No, it's a domestic film company that bought the foreign novel. To stay true to the original work, many of the main actors are foreigners. But you've also noticed that there are many Chinese people in the movie. The male lead's adopted daughter is Chinese; she acted in the TV series 'The Businesswoman,' do you remember?"
"It's her!" Song Xiaohua's eyes widened. She was beautiful even as a child, and her beauty became almost unreal as she grew up. "She's so outstanding! I don't know what to say about China having a movie like this!"
“Absolutely! Although the movie tickets are a bit expensive, I really think it’s worth it! I even want to see it again, but I don’t know if I can get a ticket,” Chen Xingwen said sincerely.
This movie ignited Song Xiaohua's interest in dinosaurs. She asked Chen Xingwen many questions, and Chen Xingwen answered them one by one without showing off or boasting. Song Xiaohua suddenly felt that this man was far more charming than she had imagined.
He's actually a good guy, just not as good at charming girls as other men.
She wanted a trustworthy husband, and this man was a good choice.
What exactly is she struggling with?
Chen Xingwen and Song Xiaohua are just ordinary viewers, and they are also enthusiastic fans of "Jurassic Resurrection". They thought the movie was good, so they recommended it to the people around them. After the people around them watched it, they recommended it to others. In China, where the film market is just starting out, such a movie will undoubtedly cause a sensation.
Moreover, this movie was produced by a Chinese company.
The newspaper interviewed Zhong Buyi and representatives from Hualai Company.
Zhong Buyi poured out his stress, admitting that he had lost 30 pounds and was losing clumps of hair while making the movie, and was almost bald before even getting married, all because the investment was too large and he was afraid of letting down President Zhou's expectations.
The head of Hualai also played the victim, saying that the company had taken out a lot of debt to invest in the movie, and the cash flow had even dried up at one point. It was only because President Zhou mortgaged his property and borrowed high-interest loans from the bank that the movie was able to be successfully released!
The two of them played the victim card, which deeply moved the young reporter conducting the interview.
The young reporter passionately filed the article overnight, and in no time, the whole of China knew that President Zhou had defied public opinion to make this movie in order to bring glory to China. The movie investment was too large, and the film company was on the verge of bankruptcy. President Zhou had no choice but to borrow money from banks at high interest rates and mortgage his property in order to finally make the movie.
As a result, the Chinese people who read the article felt that they should support Hualai. If such a conscientious Chinese film company went bankrupt and could not make money, where would they find good movies to watch in the future?
"One for you, one for me, Mr. Zhou, we can open for business tomorrow!"
"One vote from you, one vote from me, and Hualai Company will shine even brighter!"
After reading numerous promotional articles, audiences were moved by Hua Lai's dedication and went to the cinema to see what kind of film this "shining light of the Chinese music scene" was all about.
In this environment, Jurassic Park's box office soared, from an initial 30 million to 50 million, 80 million, 100 million, and 150 million! By the end of summer vacation, the film's box office had reached nearly 200 million!
And that doesn't even include other copyrights!
The film was a box office hit in mainland China, and the Hong Kong market did not disappoint Chu Yu either. Hua Lai has many cinemas in Hong Kong. When "Jurassic Resurrection" was released, Hua Lai alone earned 480 million yuan in box office revenue in Japan!
This far exceeded Chu Yu's expectations.
According to data from Hualai Films, the film grossed 1.3 billion yuan in the Asian market, which is a considerable amount when converted to US dollars. Judging from the Asian box office alone, Hualai's investment has not gone down the drain. As for how much revenue they will receive in the end, it will depend on the performance of "Jurassic Resurrection" in overseas markets.
Hua Lai also continued to push for the film's release in other regions.
