Eight months later.
It's a new year again, and it's the sixth year since DreamWorks was officially established.
Nasdaq.
Lu Hao held a small golden hammer in his hand and rang the bell for the listing. There was a roar of applause from the audience, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
DreamWorks, stock code MG, opened at $15 and was valued at $300. This figure ranks fifth among all Chinese stocks by market capitalization and first in the film and television industry.
With the listing of DreamWorks, Chu Wen and Zhou Xiaomeng have both become the most sought-after women in China with their shares, and are female billionaires with a net worth of tens of billions.
As for the company's equity and option incentive plan, some employees became rich first after going public. According to incomplete statistics, at least ten billionaires and nearly one hundred millionaires were created.
After ringing the bell for the listing, Lu Hao also officially announced that from today, DreamWorks North America branch will be established and will enter the North American market.
In fact, this was something that was foreshadowed.
Lu Hao's first international film was "Sun Dasheng". This adapted film, which focuses on promoting traditional Chinese culture and the story of Journey to the West, made him stand out in the North American box office market, with a cumulative box office of over 200 million US dollars.
The second one is "The Swordsman", which has grossed nearly 800 million U.S. dollars in North America, making it an extremely mature commercial work.
The third one is "The Wall Breaker" shot last year. This is the second part of the Aura Revival series. Both its box office performance and reputation are obvious to all, continuing the popularity of the previous part.
A new series of movie universe has been initially laid and is still growing vigorously. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a mature version of the movie universe.
It is natural to choose to establish a North American branch at this time.
DreamWorks' listing and announcement of its expansion into North America were not the peak, but just the beginning.
Or, you could say, it's just a weather vane.
After the establishment of DreamWorks North America, Chinese films have launched a series of excellent works targeting the global film market.
"Titanic" has become a global classic that has touched countless people and set off a box office frenzy. It has raked in $1.5 billion in box office revenue in two months after its release, becoming the number one pure love movie in the minds of many people.
"Cinema Paradiso" is also a classic produced by DreamWorks. It tells a heartwarming story with a soothing rhythm, touching plot, and feelings that transcend time and space, making countless audiences cry.
"Hacker World", a science fiction film, hard science fiction, broke the impression of many foreign audiences that China has no professional science fiction films. Because of its novel and hardcore setting, as well as the exciting plot, it has also gained a large number of loyal fans.
"The Godfather", a movie made specifically for Americans, tells the story of a generation, a real man who is cruel and ruthless but loyal and righteous, but it is also a co-production of DreamWorks.
This year, the North American film market belongs to DreamWorks.
In addition to the above movies, many excellent works have emerged, such as "Léon: The Professional", "The Legend of 1900", "Fight Club", "The Truman Show"...
Each one is a well-deserved classic, the kind that shocked Hollywood collectively.
Even this year's Oscars were hard to decide on and which film to award. It had been a long time since we'd seen such a surge in excellent films concentrated in the same year.
What is even more shocking to movie fans around the world is that all these movies are produced by DreamWorks.
And the screenwriter’s name is all... Lu Hao!
Lu Hao and the DreamWorks he led were like a prehistoric monster, sweeping the North American market into pieces with an overwhelming force, while at the same time launching a crazy merger and acquisition.
Successively acquired the fifth, eighth, and third ranked cinema chains in North America...
The media went crazy.
Does this Chinese person want to buy the entire American market?
The government was forced to intervene, activate antitrust provisions, and launch a comprehensive investigation into DreamWorks. It eventually fabricated some false charges and launched a protracted lawsuit.
Such treatment has greatly slowed down DreamWorks' expansion in the North American market.
But at the same time, it also made DreamWorks famous all over the world and became the world's top film company.
The company's market value has continued to rise. In less than a year, it has more than tripled and exceeded $100 billion!
The capital market is the most honest.
Vote with your money.
Companies that can make money will be enthusiastically pursued even if they are sanctioned by the government.
This protracted lawsuit lasted for two years, and DreamWorks paid more than one billion US dollars in litigation fees alone. The court arguments, legal application, and precedent tracing involved in the lawsuit became a feast for the legal community.
It can even be said to be a game of cultural strength between the two countries.
During these two years, although DreamWorks has not made much progress in the North American market, it has been frantically conquering other countries in the world with an almost sweeping attitude.
In China, Lu Hao's strategy of releasing thousands of films, as well as the policy of releasing excellent films in theaters and watching ordinary films online, can, to some extent, even be said to have rewritten the box office model of movies and the fate of many practitioners.
The domestic film market box office has maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 300% in the past two years.
Nothing else.
There are no bad movies in theaters.
This has become common knowledge among many movie fans.
Any film that can make it to theaters has gone through numerous review and evaluation stages. The film guild is like a giant net that filters out a large portion of the rubbish, and only those that can be released are high-quality works.
The new field of online movie market has also been initially cultivated.
With Dream Video as a platform, more than 100,000 movies have been released in the past two years, and the resulting on-demand revenue and advertising revenue have exceeded 100 billion!
While supporting many practitioners, Meng Video has also grown from a short video platform to a giant in the online movie industry, and can be called the Taobao of the film industry.
Three years after its establishment, Dream Video was successfully listed. Its scale and market value even exceeded DreamWorks, reaching as much as 200 billion US dollars, and it also received crazy pursuit from the capital market.
One person founded two companies whose market capitalizations both exceeded 100 billion yuan, both of which are movie-related.
Lu Hao's name has become a legend in the film industry.
It is no exaggeration to even call him the number one in Chinese cinema.
