Zhou Jian'an was going through the formalities with Tang Xiaoyao. Chu Yu knew that he had spent a huge sum of money to buy Changrun Building. The market in Nanhai was not over yet. Even if it cost 60 million to buy Changrun, it was still worth it! However, there are rules to every game, and there are loopholes to every game. Zhou Jian'an only thought about studying the rules, but he didn't study the loopholes or guard against them.
Chu Yu could only say that everyone has their own destiny.
Chu Yu said casually, "Let him handle the formalities. We'll pull the net in once the fish are caught."
Qin Weidong raised an eyebrow. That's why people say you should never offend a woman. Women can be really scary when they get angry, especially a capable and ruthless woman like Chu Yu. It's best to avoid provoking her!
Why did Zhou Jian'an have to be so foolish as to offend Zhou Chuyu?
But he can't blame anyone else. Who told him to have good genes and a good daughter? Not only can she dig a pit for him and set a trap, but she can also buy him a coffin and land. How wonderful! One click, three clicks, and she'll send you into a pit, into jail, and then bury you in the ground!
No other family's daughter is this filial; Zhou Jian'an should be grateful!
"Understood. I'll have someone keep an eye on things and make sure Zhou Jian'an's money goes into Tang Xiaoyao's account. Tang Xiaoyao is one of our own, and no one can escape the consequences of this move. But I've already spoken to Tang Xiaoyao and promised him some benefits so he won't suffer any losses."
Chu Yu nodded, "If I'm using someone else's services, I can't just use them for free."
This was a period of absurdity and madness. Prices in the South China Sea skyrocketed, with each square meter soaring to over three thousand. Many people signed land agreements in the offices on the first floor, then sold them upstairs at a higher price, making millions in profit.
If you're lucky enough to acquire several plots of land in a year, you can come to the South China Sea empty-handed but leave with tens of millions in assets.
Land prices have skyrocketed this year. When Chu Yu first came to Nanhai in 1988, land was only worth a few hundred thousand yuan per square meter. Last year it was worth several hundred thousand yuan per square meter, but this year it has increased several times over. Now, if you want to get a piece of land, you can't get it for less than two or three million yuan per square meter!
Land prices and housing prices have skyrocketed, and the frenzy surrounding the South China Sea is far from over.
Because of the special circumstances, Chu Yu set up an office in the South China Sea and has been busy there recently, fearing that something might happen there. She has several hundred million yuan in funds in the South China Sea, and only if things go well there can her assets increase tenfold.
By this stage, the post-production of Zhong Buyi's "Jurassic Resurrection" was almost complete. When Chu Yu went to Hong Kong on a business trip, he saw a sample film and had to admit that Hollywood's technology was many years ahead of that of mainland China.
The post-production, which cost a lot of money, really looks different. The scenes are stunning and the special effects are quite eye-catching. After watching it, Chu Yu was full of excitement. He was not only confident in the box office, but also felt that this was a miracle in the history of human cinema.
The era of special effects has begun for movies.
Previously, movies didn't focus on these things, but in the future, more and more special effects will be introduced into cinemas, and the public will be able to see more diverse movies. This is a good thing for both the film market and the public.
Zhong Buyi also came over to discuss the release of "Jurassic Resurrection" with Chu Yu.
Chu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The cinemas we acquired from Jintang have been almost completely renovated. Not to mention the acquisition cost, we've already spent a lot of money on renovations, improving special effects, and replacing screens. This year, we're cooperating with mainland shopping malls, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to complete the cinema renovations before May. At that time, we will have more than 200 cinemas. Although the progress is not as fast as expected, we are proceeding steadily. After all, many things need to be imported from abroad, so the renovation progress will naturally be slower."
However, the renovated cinemas have a better viewing experience, not to mention the newly built cinemas, which can almost achieve the same viewing experience as the cinemas in Hong Kong.
This is extremely rare in mainland China.
Hualai's cinema chain has left other cinemas in mainland China far behind.
Zhong Buyi said, "Then our 'Jurassic Resurrection' will be released in June?"
"Placing it in the summer season is no problem. After all, 'Jurassic Resurrection' is a movie suitable for the whole family. Kids will definitely be very interested. If it does well, it can be shown for a year or two. It's not a problem for the current market."
The current film market is quite different from the market many years from now.
Nowadays, there are relatively few good films on the market, and so-called Hollywood blockbusters have difficulty entering the domestic market. For a film to be released in China, it must be a co-production.
Hua Lai is registered in mainland China and is a mainland company, yet it uses Hollywood actors, making it easier for its films to pass censorship.
In March, Chu Yu, representing Hualai Film Company, held a bidding conference in Beijing.
The so-called bidding meeting is actually an auction of domestic screening rights. If Hualai has its own cinema chain, it will naturally screen the film in its own cinema chain, which is beyond doubt. Otherwise, other film companies that want to screen "Jurassic Resurrection" will need to bid on the spot and purchase the copyright!
So Chu Yu held a bidding conference, firstly to let everyone see the quality of the film on-site and compete for high prices; secondly, to meet with the heads of major cinema chains and ask them to increase the number of screenings.
Good movies can be shown for a year or two, which can significantly boost box office revenue.
Chu Yu has high hopes for "Jurassic Resurrection" and naturally wants to support the film to the greatest extent possible.
The bidding meeting was held in the morning, and representatives from all major cinema chains attended.
After news spread that Hualai Company had invested hundreds of millions to produce a blockbuster, theaters and film studios took it very seriously, all eager to see what kind of surprises it could bring to the mainland!
"President Zhou!" President Cao greeted him.
Mr. Cao is the general manager of Huanying. Chu Yu greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Cao, how have you been?"
"Ms. Zhou, thank you for your kind words. It's been a few months since I last saw you. You've become even more beautiful."
Chu Yu smiled. President Cao was quite polite. Ever since Chu Yu became rich, she had only met good people. Several cinema managers were like President Cao, polite and gentle, and very good at dealing with people.
"President Zhou!"
Someone else greeted them.
The speaker was Mr. Wu from China Film Group. Mr. Wu had just recovered from an illness last year and looked thinner than before. Chu Yu had asked about his health and told him to take good care of himself, so she let Mr. Wu sit in the seat of honor at the front.
Chu Yu arranged seats for everyone.
The seating arrangement was based on the cinema's ranking, so it was impossible to be completely fair and impartial. All I can say is that Chu Yu did her best to take good care of all the guests.
After everyone was seated, Xiao Zhong took the stage to host the event. She smiled and said, "Welcome, leaders. This time, Hualai Films has invested hundreds of millions to produce the big-budget film 'Resurrection Jurassic Park.' The film employs both Hollywood and Hualai actors, and has hired Hollywood post-production companies, as well as sound engineers and composers from Hollywood and Hong Kong to create the music. The entire team is of international top-tier standard. You could say that this film is Hualai's pledge of allegiance, demonstrating our determination to the country and to all the leaders present! Hualai wants to break out of Asia, bringing our Chinese culture to Hollywood and to the world!"
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
