Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the frequent reports of good news arrive.
In the afternoon, Yu Xiangwen called and said with a smile, "Congratulations, President Zhou, the film is a great success and the box office is impressive."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations to everyone! We can all recoup our costs and make a profit. If the box office is good in Europe and America, based on the ticket prices there, we can each get hundreds of millions."
Yu Xiangwen raised an eyebrow; he truly hadn't expected "Jurassic Park" to achieve such success.
It's worth noting that the previous box office champion in Hong Kong only grossed a little over 30 million. The sudden emergence of "Jurassic Park" generated a lot of buzz and nearly 70 million in box office revenue, which gave the entire Hong Kong market a boost.
This has also made many filmmakers feel a sense of crisis.
Hong Kong films don't need special effects; many rely on real fight scenes. Low-budget films can be shot in a month, with one or two months of post-production, and three months before being released. In some cases, they can even be shown in theaters in just one month.
Many film companies produce nonsensical comedies in order to make quick money.
Indeed, comedies require less investment and have stable box office returns, meaning film companies can recoup their investment faster.
However, with so many films of this type on the market and not many other types available, audiences are easily getting tired of them. In the long run, this is not a good thing for Hong Kong's box office.
"Several of our films released this year have been box office hits, and the company's financial report for this year will be very impressive."
"Thank you for your support, Boss Yu and Boss Long."
"We should thank you for making money! Hua Lai is now the leading film company in Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese film industry. After this movie is released, Jin Tang and Goldman Sachs will have to step aside. What are you planning to do next?"
Chu Yu smiled and pondered, "We'll be filming 'Jurassic Park 2,' but the second one will definitely have to be an original script, since the author only wrote the first one. Generally speaking, film series tend to fall short of expectations, and their reputation and other aspects are not as good as the first one. However, I still want to make a film series. Such a big IP is a once-in-a-century opportunity. Not only are we looking forward to it, but the audience and fans will also be very excited. Even decades later, we can still use the concept of copyright to hype it up."
Yu Xiangwen nodded, "Do whatever you want. Long Cheng and I won't have any objections. Even if you fail, it's fine. At worst, we'll have Long Cheng do a striptease and sell himself to make money for you to make movies."
Chu Yu chuckled, thinking that things didn't have to be this bad.
