For Dandelion Movie in 2006, although the number of productions was not large, the revenue was quite considerable. "The Sun Watcher" released in January was a sequel to "The Night Watcher" in 2003. It was filmed very early and has not been released until it was officially released at the beginning of this year.

In the end, he achieved a global box office of $45 million, which made too much money compared to the cost of less than $4 million.

The movie "Hanjiang Monster" that invested in South Korea also became the highest record in South Korea's box office history with 13.01 million viewers. In other words, it won a super box office of US$65.62 million for only the local Korean mainland. The subsequent global release was a sloppy road. The box office outside South Korea only received US$5 million, with a total box office of US$70.62 million.

For an Asian film company, relying solely on the income from these two films, Dandelion can live a comfortable life.

Life is better for film companies, and investors are naturally full of confidence.

The news about integrating Dandelion into Jiahe Entertainment and backdoor listing has attracted widespread attention. Many investors have begun to look forward to the issuance of Jiahe's new shares. The industry is also generally optimistic about Dandelion's listing financing path, and the government is also speeding up the research of relevant policies. Everything is ready but the east wind is not available.

In fact, it is generally difficult for Asian movies to achieve too high box office, and the real highlight is Sasha Entertainment.

This year was a year of surprise for Sasha Entertainment.

First, "The Da Vinci Code" produced by Sasha Entertainment, released by Paramount, and released by the summer season. This movie is adapted from Dan Brown's novel of the same name. Wan Xiaohu made a preview of the novel's adaptation rights. The novel then sold tens of millions of copies, which further encouraged the audience's expectations for the movie.

After the project was established last year, the director of Lang Howard was invited. As soon as it was released, it encountered the evaluation of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire. A large number of people criticized the movie for being nonsense and explaining history, which caused unanimous dissatisfaction among religious people. Of course, a large number of viewers also felt that it was enjoyable after watching it.

Amid this scolding, the movie began to frantically grab the box office.

The summer season ended, with US$217 million in North America and US$541 million overseas. US$758 million worldwide, second only to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Casket", ranking second in the global box office list in 2006.

"The brilliant victory of Sasha Entertainment!" - "Variety Show" magazine has always paid attention to independent film companies other than large studios, and Sasha Entertainment's performance is seen by it.

A movie is not a brilliant victory, and Sasha Entertainment has many surprises.

According to Adam Ferguson's plan, he will fully acquire the old neighbor Tingfeng Entertainment in May, and two small-budget movies "Once" and "Dance of My Life". "Once" has not been finished yet. "Dance of My Life" is scheduled to be released in the summer schedule in June.

There was no high expectation for the movie at first. After all, this is just a small-cost movie starring Channing Tatum and directed by the new director Anne Fletcher, which costs less than 10 million US dollars, is still an outdated youth song and dance theme.

Thank you for being able to get 30 to 50 million box offices.

However, movies have such charm. It does not mean that the bigger your investment, the bigger your gains will be. It does not mean that if you invest less, you will not gain much.

The painting week in North America exceeded 20 million US dollars, and finally won 65.33 million US dollars in North America, 48.87 million US dollars overseas, and 114.2 million US dollars globally, which shocked the eyes of experts.

Then in September, "The Walker of Infernal Affairs" directed by Martin Scorses and adapted from "Infernal Affairs" also began to be released. "Infernal Affairs", which was originally unwelcome to North America, came to Lao Ma's hands and added a few swear words, and the box office was directly ignited. North America was US$132 million, US$157 million overseas, and US$290 million worldwide, becoming a top-notch movie.

Not to mention, the fourth part of the "Saw" series, which is bound to meet the audience in November every year, has a production cost of $12 million, and has won a box office of $63.3 million in North America, and finally has a global $139 million, which is slightly inferior to the previous ones, but the task is still completed.

"The best independent film company this year, we look forward to Sasha Entertainment's last movie of the year, "Never End" to create another miracle!" - The New York Times.

On October 15, 2006, "Never End" held its North American premiere at the Hollywood Chinese Theater.

After the premiere, the movie-watching media gave a lot of praise.

Then he came to Beijing and held the premiere in China, which was still well received. Then he held the premiere in several key ticket offices in Russia, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, France and Australia. After the entire premiere came, it was December that the movie was officially released in North America and mainland China.

"Ahhhh, after running around this lap, I felt like I was in a bad mood."

Back in Santa Monica, Wan Xiaohu lay in Jessica's arms exhausted and said tiredly. For promotion, for box office and for the market, Wan Xiaohu almost never left the plane. Starting from the Venice Film Festival, he kept coming and going to various countries to participate in programs, promote movies, and attend premieres.

Because of the whole world, the jet lag is messed up, and I can’t eat well and sleep well.

"Although I know what you have to do for the company now, I still have to say, Tiger, don't be too lucky to suffer yourself. Do I worry about knowing if you are so lucky?"

"Haha, don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. That is, the movie "Never End" is distributed globally by ourselves, and I need to run and get the road. There is no need to be such a trouble in the future. I will have a lot of time again, eating, drinking and having fun."

"You are not a person who likes to eat, drink, and have fun. My Tiger, you are a workaholic."

"Because I want to support my family, buy you the best gift for Jessica, open it and take a look." Wan Xiaohu said, taking out a small box with exquisite packaging from his pocket and handing it to Jessica.

"Another panda doll?" Jessica asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, you'll know."

Jessica was looking forward to opening the box. Inside was a pair of glittering sapphire earrings, shining brightly.

"Do you like it? This pair of earrings is called 'The Charming You'. It is a pair of works handmade by French jewelry masters with a similarity of up to 99.999%. At that time, I was attracted by it at a jewelry fair. I thought only it can deserve your beauty."

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Jessica's eyes immediately flashed with countless little stars.

"I'll bring it to you." Wan Xiaohu picked up the earrings, which were of great weight and priceless.

Jessica gently asked Wan Xiaohu to help bring the earrings.

After taking it, Wan Xiaohu took a step back and looked at Jessica, exclaiming: "Beautiful, beautiful, these earrings are already unremarkable, but you are more beautiful than it, making it look dull!"

"Haha. Thank you, Tiger." Jessica smiled slightly, looking particularly happy.

"I want to thank God for letting me meet you." Wan Xiaohu said sensationally, then took Jessica's waist and kissed her gently.

The dim sunlight that was about to set was shining on the sea. It was then shimmering into the villa.

Sunset, sea, villa, kiss.

It is as beautiful as a scroll.

...

After rubbing his hands, Tom looked at the long queue in front of him. He felt speechless and couldn't help but complain to the people in front of him.

"Why do you all choose to watch a Chinese film? There are so many good movies now, why not watch "Happy Big Foot", "007: The Royal Casino", or "Time and Space Clues", Well, "Natural Birth" is also good, you can also go and watch it!"

"Brother, what you said is light, why don't you go to watch other movies?" The person in front turned around and looked down on him.

"Because I don't like to watch movies with the mainstream, I like to watch science fiction movies, cult movies, I like to watch Wan Xiaohu's movies, I am his fan."

"Do you think that when we come to queue up, we don't like science fiction films, cult films, and Wan Xiaohu? Okay, let it bear it, who has made us only three theaters here release "Never Endless"?"

"You also like Wan Xiaohu's movies?"

"No, don't like to line up for anything."

"That's right, um, do you know why there are only three of our five cinemas here that release "Never End"? I ran two streets to come here to queue up."

"I don't know why. Anyway, there are only 2,540 painting theaters in "Never End" and there is no large scale."

"I know." A boy wearing glasses interrupted, "Because "Never End" was a distribution made by Sasha Entertainment itself. Without the channels of a large studio, it is difficult to win too many theaters, and many distribution agreements cannot be negotiated."

This is the fact that as the first movie released by Sasha Entertainment itself, it is difficult to gain any advantage in the box office share of the movie without the connections of a large studio. The share of the theater is too high, Sasha Entertainment is unwilling, and Sasha Entertainment wants too high, and the theater is unwilling to do so, which leads to the failure to talk about too many theaters.

We have to wait until the box office of the painting is released before we can continue negotiations and expand the scale.

"This is really unfortunate news. Independent film companies can't compete with big studios." Tom said regretfully, "You think how many box offices can "Never End" get? I think it's good to watch the trailer. Wan Xiaohu's movie quality has always been guaranteed. And many in the media say that the movie is very cool and very good-looking, and it will definitely make a big hit."

"That's not necessarily true. There are so many movies that are not popular. I have read the original novels and feel that there are not many selling points, so I support the experts' opinions."

"What does the expert say?"

"The opening score is about 15 million US dollars, and the final score is about 140 million US dollars worldwide, which should be lower than the "Source Code". After all, there is Chen Kun in "Source Code", and I have never heard of the actors in "Never End".
