Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

How much money does Xu Cun have now?

At the end of April 1981, Xu Cun raised 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars (of which 400 million Hong Kong dollars was Xu Cun's contract for the sale of the two buildings of the Federation and the International Building and the loan from HSBC Bank.) to bet against Landmark.

At that time, each of Xu Cun's companies had only a minimum amount of liquidity and 73.3% of Lishi's shares.

Thereafter—

Dao Ma Dan earned Xu Cun US$2.7 million.

Happy Ghost on Summer Vacation earned Xu Cun 28 million Hong Kong dollars.

Dragon Ninja earned Xu Cun eleven million Hong Kong dollars.

Chasing Girls earned Xu Cun 17 million Hong Kong dollars.

Bad List earned Xu Cun 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zombie Family earned Xu Cun $29.7 million.

Interstellar Blur earned Xu Cun 19.25 million US dollars.

Home Alone earned Xu Cun $148 million.

Ghost Love earned Xu Cun $94 million.

In addition, the box office results of God of Gamblers have also come out.

The port of Xiangjiang.

God of Gamblers earned 32.4 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the first film in Hong Kong with a box office of over 30 million. At the same time, God of Gamblers also killed Home Alone and became the box office champion in Xiangjiang area.

Bend area.

God of Gamblers has achieved box office results of NT$47 million.

Nanyang region.

God of Gamblers grossed $8.2 million.

Japan region.

God of Gamblers has achieved box office results of 2.75 billion yen.

South Korea area.

God of Gamblers received 480,000 viewers.

Americas and Europe.

In dozens of countries on two continents, God of Gamblers only made a total of 330,000 US dollars at the box office.

All in all, apart from the box office results obtained in Hong Kong, the box office results obtained by God of Gamblers in other regions can all be regarded as smashing the street compared to Xu Cun's previous box office results.

This happens for two reasons:

1. God of Gamblers has an obvious Xiangjiang or it can be said to have an obvious local color.

Therefore, God of Gamblers has no market in other regions, especially the Americas and Europe - if it weren't for the support of Xu Cun as the world's number one director, God of Gamblers wouldn't even have a chance to be released in the Americas and Europe.

2. God of Gamblers is issued by Yongsheng.

Although the money earned by God of Gamblers is Xu Cun's, the release of God of Gamblers is mainly based on Yongsheng and supplemented by DreamWorks-this is the purpose of Yongsheng buying God of Gamblers for 50 million Hong Kong dollars where.

After all, Yongsheng is only a new film company. Compared with the thriving DreamWorks, Yongsheng's distribution ability is still too poor. Therefore, although there is DreamWorks assisted distribution, the distribution led by Yongsheng will inevitably cause God of Gamblers to lose part of the overseas market.

Total: God of Gamblers grossed $61 million.

The box office allocated to Xu Cun is: 19.5 million US dollars.

Since the production cost and publicity cost of God of Gamblers are all paid by Yongsheng, the 19.5 million US dollars is all owned by Xu Cun (this money has not yet reached Xu Cun's hands. However, in the next two Within a month, the money will be collected in Xu Cun's hands one after another.).

In addition, Yongsheng bought the copyright of God of Gamblers for 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

God of Gamblers earned Xu Cun about $26 million.

By the way, Xu Cun, who had known for a long time that the Hong Kong dollar would depreciate, converted all the money he earned into U.S. dollars and deposited it in a Swiss bank.

From the end of April 1981 to the present, Xu Cun has earned a total of more than 333 million US dollars.

In just one and a half years, Xu Cun earned more than 300 million U.S. dollars, not counting the profit from gambling with Landmark. It can be seen that Xu Cun's ability to make money is not ordinary!

but--

Xu Cun earns a lot and spends a lot.

When Xu Cun invested in Cameron's Terminator, he took out 4.3 million US dollars, and the 4.3 million US dollars was designated as not enough for Cameron to shoot Terminator. Therefore, it won't be long before Cameron will still ask Xu Cun for money.

Xu Cun spent 53 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the shares of Lishi from a group of British-funded groups-according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 10 million U.S. dollars.

Xu Cun spent more than 140 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the buildings that Wen Bixia and Guan Zhilin speculated and hoarded—according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 23 million U.S. dollars.

In the Xu Mashi incident, Xu Cun spent 120 million Hong Kong dollars—according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 19.3 million U.S. dollars.

Xu Cun injected 200 million Hong Kong dollars into Lishi—according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 30 million U.S. dollars.

Spend 43 million U.S. dollars to buy villas in Repulse Bay for the pregnant daughters, and spent more than 17 million U.S. dollars to buy the most advanced medical equipment and medicines in the world. According to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent a total of more than 24 million US dollars on these two items.

To 'save' Mei Qiming and Mei Deming, Xu Cun spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars—according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 1.6 million U.S. dollars.

Xu Cun paid about 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the Japanese consortium to buy back the two buildings of the Federation and the International Building—according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 13 million U.S. dollars.

Xu Cun spent 40 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the Taiping Theater—according to the ratio of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars at that time, Xu Cun spent about 4.5 million U.S. dollars.

To repay the 400 million Hong Kong dollar loan from HSBC Bank, Xu Cun spent about 50 million U.S. dollars.

In addition, Xu Cun raised a large number of women. In the past year and a half, the family and pocket money for all the women alone cost more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, or more than 30 million US dollars.

Total: From the end of April 1981 to the present, Xu Cun has spent a total of about 209 million US dollars.

After deducting expenses, Xu Cun should still have less than 130 million US dollars.

But in fact it is not the case.

After buying back the Federal and International buildings, Xu Cun borrowed another US$100 million from HSBC with the two buildings and his own reputation as collateral.

Prior to this, Xu Cun had borrowed 70 million dollars from Universal Pictures at the cost of signing a title contract with Universal Pictures. Originally, Xu Cun planned to borrow this money from 20th Century Fox Films. However, 20th Century Fox Film Company, which has acquired all the copyrights of ET and Home Alone in the past two or three years, has no shortage of good movies, and what Xu Cun wants to borrow is 100 million US dollars, so 20th Century Fox Fox Films decided to reject Xu Cun after discussing with the board of directors. In this regard, Xu Cun expressed regret, and declined the kindness of Alan Ryder Jr. to lend him 20 million U.S. dollars privately. After that, Xu Cun invited the heads of seven other Hollywood film companies to DreamWorks (the US G branch) to hold a small bidding meeting. In the end, Universal Pictures won the bid by being willing to lend Xu Cun US$70 million.

In other words, Xu Cun currently has about 300 million US dollars in pure cash.

(Note: This year's Beware of Little Hands and other movies have also earned Xu Cun a lot of money, but Xu Cun also needs to spend a lot of money to buy cars for the girls, support the families of the girls, and raise hundreds of employees, etc. money, so the money is almost equal.)
