Chapter 632 Wang Yuanchao’s Thoughts

Wang Ling flew to Los Angeles with the main creative staff of Hanbing Animation.

It's nothing else. "The Lion King" was released during the Christmas season last year and strongly defeated its competitor, the fantasy film "Gremlins", sweeping the North American box office of 2.5 million and ranking first on the annual box office list!
[Historically, it was released in 94 and grossed $3.12 million in North America, making it the first animated film in North American film history to gross over $3 million.]

Elf is indeed good, and even if The Lion King hadn’t come out, it would still be a classic Christmas film in American history.

But the Lion King, which took so many years to create, with British and American screenwriters, Hong Kong's meticulous craftsmanship, African-style music, and Wang Yuanchao's personal supervision, is truly a crushing success.

Not to mention the children, even the adults were immersed in it.

It is the story of the prince's revenge in the skin of the animal world.

Wang Yuanchao was still in the mainland at that time, and Patricia had just brought Ronan and David back to the country, and they were in good shape, so she took them to see it.

The two little guys actually want to raise a lion!
Finally, after Wang Yuanchao returned to the United States, he had to give them a dog and a cat to calm the two children's restless hearts.

84 North American film rankings,

The second place is Columbia's "Ghostbusters", with a box office of 2.38 million.

The third place is Paramount's "Beverly Hills Cop", with a box office of 2.34 million.

Fourth place is MGM's "Indiana Jones and the Fallen" with a box office of 2 million US dollars.

No. 3800 is also an MGM movie, the classic "Terminator", with a box office of million, and the heroine is Jane Seymour.

Looking at it vertically, as of now, the top five movies at the global box office are:

The first one was MGM's "ET the Extraterrestrial" in 82, directed by Spielberg, with a global box office of 6 million US dollars.

The second is MGM's "Star Wars" in 77, directed by Lucas, with a global box office of 5 million US dollars.

The third is Universal's "Jaws" in 75, directed by Spielberg, with a global box office of 4 million US dollars.

The fourth is MGM's "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" in 80, directed by Lucas's teacher Irvin Kirshner, with a global box office of 2 million US dollars.

Fifth was MGM's "Indiana Jones" in 81, directed by Spielberg, with a global box office of 3 million US dollars.

Spielberg and Lucas are good friends, and the idea of ​​"Indiana Jones" even came from Lucas.

So after Wang Yuanchao first caught Lucas, he also caught Spielberg, allowing MGM to take off on the spot.

So it is no exaggeration to say that MGM is now the leading Hollywood film company.

Thanks to "The Lion King", Hanbing Animation's box office share reached an astonishing 5000 million US dollars!

Because the subsequent English dubbing, music, etc. were all handled by MGM, it was considered a cooperative project between the two parties, and MGM's share of the box office reached 7500 million US dollars.

If Wang Yuanchao wasn't behind Hanbing, Hanbing would never have been able to get the title of a co-producer. He would probably have been able to get 10 or 20 million US dollars and a manufacturing fee, which would have been the best he could have gotten.

Over the years, the cost invested by Ice Animation is only 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 7.6 million US dollars at the exchange rate of 526.

Combined with subsequent overseas copyrights and box office revenue, it can be said that Han Bing has suddenly grasped a gold mine.

The main reason why Wang Ling led the team here was because "The Lion King" was nominated for an Oscar.

Produced by MGM itself, The Lion King was nominated for four awards:
Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Original Song.

Because the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film has not yet been established, and "The Lion King" is obviously not one of them, and it does not bother to compete for Best Animated Short Film, so "The Lion King" can only compete with other films.

The core of "The Lion King" is Shakespeare's "Hamlet", also known as "The Revenge of the Prince", an Anglo-Saxon story that cannot be purer.

This movie is not simply about family, friendship or love, it expresses a spirit of not giving up easily and a positive attitude towards life.

Sadly, The Lion King is only an animated film.

It failed to compete with "Mozart" and lost the Best Picture award.

The Oscars believe that being nominated for Best Picture is the greatest compliment they can give a film.

In addition, "The Lion King" won the Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song awards.

Everyone was satisfied, including Wang Yuanchao.

Wang Yuanchao did not attend the Oscars ceremony held at the Los Angeles Music Center. Which consortium boss would attend such a thing?
He is watching TV at home, which is his greatest support for the Oscars.
-
Wang Ling felt that the popularity and awards of "The Lion King" were a reward from Wang Yuanchao for her obedience and thoughtfulness.

She knew her mistakes and was able to correct them. She immediately adjusted the direction of the beauty pageant. Last year's beauty pageant champion was He Qing, who came from the mainland. She was not blind to the relationship between He Qing and Wang Yuanchao.

Then she kept persuading her best friend Zhen Zhen to help Wang Yuanchao have a baby. Last year, Zhen Zhen lived up to everyone's expectations, gave birth to a baby, and joined the Wang family.

Wang Yuanchao's love for her grew day by day.

She was only 40 years old, so of course she needed and longed for her husband's love, because her husband's love was not only physical, but also material and spiritual.

When The Lion King was first released, she didn’t know it would be released in the United States!

It was released in the United States, and she didn't know she could win an award.

In any case, this is the first time that Hong Kong has won an Oscar. As the co-producer of "The Lion King", her status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry instantly rose to prominence.

Although she is now the chairman of Hanbing Animation, she basically doesn't care about anything. She doesn't even understand how to make a movie, let alone an animation.

Speaking of her acting skills, her poor acting skills were severely criticized by many newspapers, directors and colleagues, who said she was just a vase, but she accepted it later.

However, she was very proficient in financial statements. Her sensitivity to numbers far exceeded her understanding of acting, because when it came to mathematics, she was the best among the wives.

In the past, she would trade stocks on her own in her spare time. When something important happened, Wang Yuanchao would take care of her, so she made good profits in the stock market.

As for other things, she has more say in beauty pageants. This is the capital for her to make a living in this family, right?

But Wang Yuanchao has a lot of talented people under him, such as vases, stock speculators, and beauty pageants, and she is not irreplaceable.

So when Wang Yuanchao told her that the beauty pageant had gone astray, she explained a few words, but when she realized that something was wrong, she immediately turned the steering wheel 180 degrees in the opposite direction without any hesitation.

If she hesitated even a little, she might just have to eat and drink, become a marginal person in the Wang family, and also implicate her two sons.

The first wife is the legal wife and her status is unquestionable; the second wife is the husband's first woman, and her husband was nothing at that time, so she treats him with all her heart; the fourth wife has experienced all the ups and downs with her husband, so it is no exaggeration to say that they have shared life and death together.

Therefore, among Wang Yuanchao's four wives, she positioned herself very accurately, that is, to seduce people with her beauty, and she felt that she attracted Wang Yuanchao purely by her beauty.

Since you are using your beauty to please men, there is no need to talk about personal independence, right?

But after being the third wife of the Wang family for a long time, everyone treated her politely and respectfully when they went out. Those people taught her how a wealthy family should be every day, and led her astray.

The beauty pageant she runs is a business, a career, but it is not about helping wealthy families choose wives.

As for whether or not one can be liked by a wealthy family after marrying into one, that is their business. What does it have to do with her?
Her top priority is to please Wang Yuanchao.

Now, isn't the reward here?

Not only did she gain both fame and fortune, but her husband was also very kind and loving to her. He even asked her to stay in the United States for a few more days so that he could spend more time with her.

Wang Yuanchao had someone take her to visit MGM, NBC's Los Angeles branch, watched a Los Angeles Lions game with her, and took her to a Las Vegas casino to watch a drag queen dance. My God, she was even so happy that she danced for her husband in the hotel room. It was so wild and passionate that she felt as if she had returned to the time when she first got together with Wang Yuanchao more than a decade ago.

Does she only try to please Wang Yuanchao but not love him?

How could it not be.

She just suppressed her love carefully. Over the years, Wang Yuanchao treated her well and they even had two sons.

Even if the third wife is not as good as the second wife, if they are taken out separately, they are still one of the richest families in Hong Kong. One is the king of Hong Kong animation, the other is the king of Hong Kong beauty pageant, and I don't know how many people follow them to make a living.

When the media in Boluo develops, the media king of Boluo will probably be even more powerful.

Of course, if her husband is willing to give her more responsibilities, she is also willing to help her husband share the worries.

She's not stupid.

The husband mentioned that his mother-in-law, Wang Danfeng, from the first house, was getting old, and it was very unfilial to still let her work so hard.

If he didn't have any ideas, why did he mention this to her?

He mentioned this because he wanted to see how he performed, didn't he?
As the vice president of Starlight Pictures, what does she need to do? Manage money? Manage artist management? It's impossible to let her manage film investment...

Does she want it?
Of course!
With this position, wouldn't the foundation of Boro's media industry be more solid? The connections of Starlight Pictures are much larger than those of Hanbing Animation and Miss Xiangjiang.

Wang Ling suddenly realized why her husband had to take over that position himself???

He has a lot of talented people.

She was half lost in thought when a large hand grabbed her from behind and scratched her twice.

Her figure is still very good. Although she is older, she has been exercising, doing the Five Animal Exercises, yoga, and running, and has never slacked off. This is her asset.

Besides, Wang Yuanchao himself is a self-disciplined exercise maniac. Who in the family dares to be out of tune? Isn't he afraid of losing the love of his husband and father?

She suddenly started and remembered.

ATV gave her a Rosamund Kwan to help her husband, and TVB gave her a Natalia Maggie Cheung to help her husband. A prestigious company like Starlight Pictures, with so many female artistes, they didn't even give her husband a few beauties. Is this, this, this, is this the husband's purpose?

Wang Yuanchao was planning to replace his mother-in-law, but he definitely didn't have the same thoughts as Wang Ling.
