Chapter 425 Breaking the Historical Record
Jiang Muyang stared at the audience below the stage. There were actually a few fanatical fans who, after seeing the man's behavior, also wanted to rush onto the stage and have an intimate contact with their idol.
Jiang Muyang was excitedly waiting to be rescued and rehearsed various heroic plans in his mind, but the security director in charge of security work would not allow such a thing to happen again. The previous emergency incident had already made the security director break out in a cold sweat. If it happened a second time, he would definitely be fired.
The security supervisor asked his security guards to form a human wall and hold the situation firmly, and called the company to send more people to maintain order.
Not only that, the security supervisor also borrowed the security guards in charge of security in the cinema to guard the stage tightly.
This promotional event was incredibly lively. The actors on stage were performing brilliantly, and the audience below, those in the back watching the performance and those in the front pushing their way onto the stage, were all busy with their own things.
The reporters were like a sandwich, trapped between them, unable to move forward or backward, their only concern being protecting their cameras. Anything could be lost, anything could be broken, but the camera couldn't be lost or damaged. They'd captured the entire process of the frenzied male fan rushing onto the stage, and there were several misplaced photos in them that would make headlines and sell like hotcakes.
The promotion was a success, and the various achievements of "Baogang Queen Flower 2" were reported by reporters. At the same time, gossip also emerged about a male fan harassing Hu Xiaoxiao on stage.
Hu Xiaoxiao has a lot of fans, some are rational and some are fanatical. In order to get close to their idol, those fanatical fans use all kinds of means, such as chasing cars, squatting, and even trying to sneak into Hu Xiaoxiao's house.
Previously, Hu Xiaoxiao's whereabouts were unknown to the outside world, so her fans couldn't stop her and she didn't face as much harassment. Recently, to promote her movie, Hu Xiaoxiao has been out and about frequently, and since promotional activities require advance notice, her fanatical fans are chasing her like crazy.
Reporters saw that reports about Hu Xiaoxiao were selling well, so they also came to film the crazy behavior of these fanatical fans. There were so many such news reports that many people frowned.
Hu Xiaoxiao frowned after seeing several news reports about the abnormal behavior of these fanatical fans. Although these news reports can increase the popularity of the movie, it is a bit annoying to read too much of them.
Just when Hu Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to suppress the news, Tan Yinglian called Hu Xiaoxiao.
On the other end of the phone, Tan Yinglian smiled and said, "I was just worrying about how to provide employee benefits. I thought your new movie is good, so I planned to rent out a theater for the employees to watch. Xiaoxiao, is there any theater in Shengshi Cinema with less crowds? I'll rent it out for three days and support your movie at the same time, so that you can break the record soon."
"Mrs. Tan, you're too polite. What's our relationship? Just tell me which cinema you want, and I'll clear a few days for you. As for the box office, I'll take care of it. You don't need Aunt Tan to spend any money."
"You're being distant with me when you say that," Tan Yinglian said, "We're friends in private and partners in business. Whether it's public or private, you can't stop me from helping you..."
Seeing that it was Tan Yinglian's sincere intention, Hu Xiaoxiao did not refuse. Since their relationship was such that talking about money would be awkward, she arranged for Tan Yinglian to book a movie theater near her company for three days.
Tan Yinglian's booking of the entire theater seemed like a good omen. Soon after, Luo Ji, who had been cooperating with Hu Xiaoxiao, also called and wanted to book the entire theater for his employees to watch "The Princess Diaries 2".
In addition to Luo Ji, merchants who have cooperated for several years also called to express that they would book a private theater to watch a movie to support Hu Xiaoxiao and "The Princess Diaries 2".
"I not only support you, but also support Baogang films and Baogang culture. Xiaoxiao, I hope you will achieve greater success in the future. I believe that one day, Baogang will be proud of you..."
After hearing the words of several old friends, Hu Xiaoxiao felt a warm feeling in his heart.
The reason why she loves this world so much and enjoys life here so much is that she has so many enthusiastic friends who always support her and bring her warmth.
To support Hu Xiaoxiao, the Xie family even booked a cinema for their employees to watch the film. The Xie Group has so many employees that it took a full seven days to complete the screening. Even Xie Zhiheng, who was busy in mainland China, heard about the film and made a special trip back to Baogang to see it several times.
The popularity of the movie, coupled with the support of many friends, has greatly increased the box office of the movie. "The Queen of Love 2" broke the box office record of Hong Kong and became the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong.
At the same time, the box office of "Hong Kong Superwoman 2" in other regions has also been rising steadily.
Just as Hu Xiaoxiao had envisioned, "The Queen of Love 2" became a phenomenal film. After being postponed twice, the film's box office revenue in Hong Kong alone reached over 100 million Hong Kong dollars by the time it was released, and the total revenue would be even higher if the box office in Taiwan was included.
"The Princess Diaries 2" became the first movie in Hong Kong's history to gross over 100 million yuan, shocking the entire film industry.
Seeing this total box office, the employees of Shengshi Entertainment cheered.
Huang Yuliang immediately told Hu Xiaoxiao that he would hold a celebration banquet for her.
Hu Xiaoxiao was sitting in Huang Yuliang's office drinking red wine. Huang Yuliang had a collection of fine wines. When Hu Xiaoxiao was in the mood, he would come over to drink some and talk about business.
After seeing this box office record, Hu Xiaoxiao's excitement had passed. She put down her glass and said to Huang Yuliang, "This movie has made the company's reputation soar. The positive impact it will bring to the company in the future, as well as countless other benefits. Mr. Huang, I don't think this little money is worth it, right?"
Having partnered with Hu Xiaoxiao for so long, Huang Yuliang already had a tacit understanding. He asked, "What do you want to do with this box office revenue?"
Hu Xiaoxiao poured Huang Yuliang a glass of wine, handed it to him, sat across from him, and said, "After deducting costs, publicity, taxes, and dividends to the theater chain, the box office revenue is only a few tens of millions. I've checked the company's accounts, and we don't need these tens of millions. Why don't we donate it all?"
Huang Yuliang asked in surprise: "Donate it all? Who are you going to donate it to?"
Hu Xiaoxiao said: "Half will be donated to Baogang. After all, the bulk of the box office revenue comes from Baogang citizens. This half will be donated to the Women and Children's Foundation, which will distribute it. The other half, I want to donate back to the mainland to build roads and schools for them."
Huang Yuliang knew that Hu Xiaoxiao was always generous, earning a lot and spending a lot, but he didn't expect that she would donate it all without keeping a single cent.
To be honest, it’s quite frustrating to have such a loose-handed partner.
Huang Yuliang stood up, walked around the office with his wine glass, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "You decide."
Hu Xiaoxiao thought she would have to work hard to convince him, but she didn't expect him to agree so immediately. She asked, "You won't stop me?"
Huang Yuliang took a sip of his drink and said, "Since you've already allocated the funds, even if we stop you this time, we won't be able to stop you next time. Besides, donating this money will also benefit the company."
Huang Yuliang analyzed calmly, "The film promotes Baogang culture and talks about feelings. Many viewers bought tickets for this reason. Now that we are donating it, it just happens to advertise the company's humanistic care, which is beneficial to the company's image. As for the money donated to the mainland, it will be even more useful. Our branch in the mainland is ready and will be established this year. This donation will enhance the company's image, give them a good impression of our company, and facilitate our future development in the mainland. I regard it as an advance investment. More importantly—"
Huang Yuliang looked at the unparalleled Hu Xiaoxiao with a faint smile, "You can spend, but you can earn even more. I believe you can earn this money back to the company tenfold or a hundredfold."
Just now, after the hit of "Hong Kong Princess Agents 2", the pay of several leading actors has increased several times. They are overwhelmed with endorsements and commercial activities, and have too many film contracts to choose from.
Huang Yuliang is very confident that as long as Hu Xiaoxiao is there, Shengshi Entertainment will always make endless money.
