Chapter 274, "Alien II" is about to be released
"Mom, I'm back."
As soon as Fazi walked into the house, he heard the sound of his mother washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Ah, how, welcome home."
Tomoko walked to the living room with a plate full of dishwashing detergent. She saw her daughter's red face and said lovingly: "Is it hard today? How about it, that big man who wants to cultivate you?"
"Yeah, I saw it."
Fazi took off his scarf, and Tomoko hurriedly returned to the kitchen: "Mom, have you heard of the name Alice-Wang?"
"Alice... King?"
Zhizi, who was about to turn on the faucet, was stunned for a moment: "Foreigner? King? Let me think about it, a Chinese girl?"
"Well, and she's just a girl of the same age as me."
As if she had discovered Solomon's treasure and wanted to share it with her family, before Fazi took off her outer shirt, she said anxiously: "I don't know what business she is doing, she is so rich. Mom, do you know the Crystal Shopping Mall, right?"
Tomoko laughed and said, "Of course I know, that's the top shopping mall in Ginza, and I'm just asking you to meet there. What's wrong? She took you in and went shopping?"
Fazi hung the shirt he took off on the hanger of the entrance and exclaimed: "The 19th floor she invited me to eat sushi, which is such a high-end store. Then, the president of the store actually came to her in person. Only then did I realize that Alice actually bought the entire Crystal Shopping Mall!"
The sound of washing dishes that had just sounded stopped immediately, and after three seconds, Tomoko remembered to turn off the faucet.
"You, what did you say?"
She walked into the living room quickly, and the newly washed plate was still in her hand: "A whole building? Have you bought it all!?"
"Yes, yes."
Alice bought the mall and looked proud of her. She raised her head and said, "The whole building is more than twenty floors, and it's still on a land like Ginza, it may cost hundreds of billions?"
Tomoko nodded her head fiercely, her heart pounding.
Tens of billions of yen, what does this mean?
That night, Sakai's father, Sankone Castle, was pondering at the dining table. Aside him, his biological daughter, Noriko and his second wife Tomoko were waiting for his answers.
"Alice-Wang, I have some impression of this name."
His fingers hit the desktop: "A few days ago, Asahi Shimbun reported on the current situation of the computer network industry in the United States and mentioned a company called Cisco Systems. I remember... the founder of this company seemed to be called this name."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Tomoko said in disbelief: "Is it impossible? Is that a big company? How could a girl of the same age as our Fazi be the founder of that kind of big company?"
"It's really unbelievable, but if you have a name and surname, you are all Chinese-American girls and are so rich, how likely is it to be a coincidence?"
The whole family knew that after Sangencheng left his original career, he wanted to make a living in the financial industry. His family was discussing moving to Yamanashi Prefecture not long ago. If the mother and daughter asked this question last year, he would probably say something.
Since the topic was mentioned here, Sangencheng was really busy. He stopped eating and immediately went to the storage cabinet at home. Since he was determined to engage in finance, he has developed the habit of collecting newspapers in large quantities for the need for timely needs. Then, now is the most appropriate time.
"Look at your dad, how serious it is."
Sitting at the dining table, Tomoko gently stroked Fazi's head.
Fazi didn't say anything.
Yes, the mother is her stepmother now.
Fako's father was originally a member of Yamaguchi Group, and Zheng Jing was also the leader of the "Sakura Group" under Yamaguchi Group, and his status was not low. As for Fako's biological mother, she divorced because she was not withstand domestic violence when she was only two years old, and then died of an accident a few years later. As early as six years old, Fako didn't even grow up next to her father.
Now, after being removed from the Yamaguchi group, are you finally planning to "learn well"?
Seeing Sangencheng carefully looking at the newspaper, she took a sip of the sauce soup for her stepmother's words without any comment.
"Sure enough... I knew."
After a while, holding a few specific newspapers, Sangencheng walked back to the dining table in surprise: "Alice Wang, the founder of Cisco Systems, joined forces with two computer professors who resigned from Stanford University the year before. Then, she was also a shareholder of Microsoft. The win...0 system was developed by her alone! Win...dos10? Operating system? What is this..."
Not to mention the surprise of his parents, Fazi glanced at a glance. There was still another piece of the thick stack of newspapers three days ago.
"I'll look at this one..."
She pulled it out.
Entertainment section, about the latest Hollywood movies released.
A terrifying and hideous monster, and a strong white woman holding a girl.
"Alien II"?"
A new movie is about to usher in a synchronous premiere around the world. It is a thriller science fiction film created by DreamWorks, a new Hollywood film company that has just been established for only two years. "Alien" directed by the well-known director Ridley Scott in 1979, and finally ushered in a sequel after seven years!
In fact, as early as the end of last year, a large-scale promotional introduction was already spread out in major mainstream media in Japan. In addition to the simplest poster promotion and newspaper introduction, the producers provided a trailer of 90 seconds to major TV media, which started as early as November last year!
It was just a little late to realize that it was not until I suddenly saw this news that it seemed that the name Alice Wang had become famous in Japan in this set of publicity?
But it doesn't seem to be there either.
The director of the film is James Cameron, but this name is enough to make DreamWorks vigorously promote it. The director and screenwriter of the popular science fiction film "Terminator" that was released two years ago, created a full ten times the box office with a cost of only 8 million US dollars, and this is just his second film since his debut. It can be said that such a newcomer king is enough to attract the public's expectation for a new film.
But that's it, this movie also has the icing on the cake!
According to the film crew's overwhelming publicity content, this movie is said to have used computers on a large scale to create various special visual effects!
Of course, no simple statement puts the results before your eyes and makes it more shocking. The producers obviously know this truth very well.
So, as early as the trailer was airing, they added a superb clip to it!
A heavy chariot with flames burning all over his body, using its powerful horsepower to knock open layers of metal and cement waste, and rushed into the surface of the asteroid from the gate of the mine. Immediately afterwards, a group of ferocious and bloody arthropod-like alien creatures surged out of it, but was bombarded by a fully automatic heavy machine gun on the chariot with extremely fierce firepower into scum!
It was so shocking that people were so shocked!
Since the trailer was aired as early as November, and the expected release date was in January of the following year, the film company cleverly seized this time slot. Perhaps it was also confident that the trailer effect was the result. They took the opportunity to launch the trailer video tape sales!
I don’t know how many industry insiders commented in newspapers, declaring that DreamWorks is simply a trap. It only takes ninety seconds to sell things, but it is only sold at a unit price of five dollars!?
Five dollars to make!?
But, it's really profitable!
Indeed, because the trailer effect is so wonderful, many viewers, especially those parents with young children at home or college students, have been flying to DreamWorks for months. People who are interested have even made statistics. In the past few months, trailer video tapes have been sold for a total of one million copies!
Yes, five million dollars are so easy to get, after all, no one will be stingy with the expenses of just five dollars. For a moment, looking at the entire Hollywood, many small and medium-sized film companies have red eyes. After all, this total of five million dollars in sales is equivalent to the box office of many low-cost movies!
After seeing this hot sale, many media regulars who joked about DreamWorks and Roger Lawrence also obediently shut up.
Just on December 31 last year, because it was the year-end summary, a special commentator from the Los Angeles Times specifically summarized the sales of this videotape.
"This is an unreplicable myth, because no film company can produce such excellent visual effects, and this movie is a sequel to "Alien". The addition of the two is the fundamental reason for attracting audiences to buy it. Therefore, even other producers want to learn from DreamWorks, trying to make money with the video of sales trailers... My suggestion is that it is better for you to pay attention."
Of course, the Los Angeles Times was not the chance to see it, but as one of the largest newspapers in the United States, the Asahi Shimbun actually reprinted it.
"This may be Alice's idea?"
Fazi looked at the newspaper and said to her parents around her: "I think she seems to be very good at investing, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Japan suddenly, and it's real estate and a firm. Today she bought the president's sushi restaurant!"
Sangencheng nodded, took the newspaper from Fazi, and said with interest: "Dad still needs work, Fazi, since this movie is about to be released, do you want to find some friends to watch it? For example, Michiko next door?"
Fazi thought about it and immediately giggled.
Chapter completed!
