They immediately sent invitations to well-known writers, hoping that they could write reviews about "The Father".

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few responders.

Lin Chaoyang's works already have many readers in Bay Island. After several critical articles by well-known writers were published, the interest of some potential readers in this novel also greatly increased.

Although the novel had a poor reputation among ordinary readers at the beginning of its publication, with the support of recommendations from famous writers, the novel's sales and reviews have successfully reversed.

Many readers were deeply moved after reading the novel. Readers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places have different reading tastes.

Readers of Wandao have always admired the style that is delicate, gentle, sad but not sad.

"Father" is not delicate and gentle, but it is full of emotions. As long as you can read it, the tear-jerking effect is much more powerful than Qiong Yao's romance novels, and it has great staying power.

After more than a month of dissemination, the novel's "tear-jerking" effect has become well-known among Bay Island readers.

At the same time, it also gained enthusiastic support and love from readers.

Lin Chaoyang's reputation among Wandao readers further developed, and he gained many loyal fans.

"Father" has been on the market for more than a month. Seeing that Christmas is less than a week away, the streets of Hong Kong are already filled with a festive atmosphere.

Under the rule of the British Hong Kong government, Hong Kong attaches great importance to Christmas.

At this time of year, businesses always hold various promotions and celebrations, and the flow of people in shopping malls, restaurants, movie theaters and many other public places is much higher than usual.

In the past two years, the old theaters in Xiangjiang have been gradually replaced by new mini theaters, but this does not hinder people's enthusiasm for watching movies.

Today, "Across the World" produced by Lam Pictures was released in 64 theaters in Hong Kong. There were long queues in many theaters, forming a rare movie-watching craze.

It’s no wonder that movie fans are so enthusiastic about this action comedy film directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun-fat.

The three major stars, Chung Chu-hong and Leslie Cheung, and the supporting roles are all powerful actors such as Zeng Jiang, Zhu Jiang, and Hu Feng.

The film was shot in France, with a total investment of over 20 million Hong Kong dollars. In today's Hong Kong film market, it is definitely a first-class big cast and a huge investment.

With such an investment, it is impossible to just expect Hong Kong to repay the investment. As early as the beginning of the filming, "Across the World" has already negotiated copyright cooperation with many regions and countries such as Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and South Korea.

Although the star strategy of big productions is always criticized, it does have unparalleled advantages in selling films.

Despite the huge investment in "Across the World", from the beginning of the project, the word "high risk" has nothing to do with this movie. This is also the effect that Tao Yushu, the helmsman of Lin's Pictures, has been pursuing for the past year.

Film has always been a high-risk industry, but if Lam Pictures wants to go public, it must control risks.

"Mrs. Lin, it seems that the box office of "Across the World" is stable!" Wu Meizhen said while holding two buckets of popcorn and looking at the long queue of viewers.

"It's only the first day of release. This is all due to publicity. It will take a few days to see how good it really is." Tao Yushu said calmly.

Wu Meizhen handed the popcorn in her hand to Tao Yushu, "Mrs. Lin."

Tao Yushu glanced at the popcorn and said, "You can eat it."

Wu Meizhen looked embarrassed. She specially brought a bucket for Tao Yushu. How could she eat two buckets by herself?

Since the beginning of this year, various cinemas under the Lam Cinema Line have introduced beautiful American-style snack bars in the lobby, and audiences are strictly prohibited from bringing in their own food.

Anyone who has been to a movie theater knows how profitable this thing is. For more than half a year now, the snack business has contributed 75 million yuan in revenue to Lin's Cinema Line.

In the early years, there was a tradition of selling snacks outside the Xiangjiang Theater, and some theaters even issued a warning saying "No bringing sugar cane into the venue."

Lam Films' initial launch of the snack bar business also aroused opposition from some viewers, and even caused many disputes.

However, Tao Yushu ran a promotional campaign for the entire theater chain for a month, and then promoted it every time a popular movie was released. Within three or four months, the anger of the audience was successfully resolved by the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, and gradually

accepted this change.

Coupled with the membership system launched last year, these two peripheral businesses alone have increased revenue for the parent company of Lam Pictures by HK$210 million.

In addition to pioneering the diversification of theater business, Tao Yushu also boldly implemented measures to ban smoking and pornographic movies in all theaters.

After doing this, the performance of Lin's cinema chain suffered in a short period of time, but it also established an image of a healthy cinema chain that is suitable for all ages.

What is lost is the mulberry tree, and what is gained is the east corner.

After losing some lone wolf audiences, Lin's Cinema Line quickly welcomed a family-based movie-watching group. With the cinema chain's membership system, its performance has not decreased but increased, which is very impressive.

"It's just two buckets of popcorn. You usually eat so many potato chips, can't you be unable to eat them?"

Her wallet had just been injured, and her self-esteem had been injured again. Wu Meizhen was not in a good mood.

At this time, she felt a light touch on her hand again, and the popcorn fell into Tao Yushu's hand, "Seeing how embarrassed you are,

Let me help you."

She suddenly beamed, "Mrs. Lin, the show is about to begin, shall we go in?"

"Um."

The two walked into the theater laughing and chatting. After more than an hour, Tao Yushu came out of the theater with a relaxed expression.

She has seen the finished product of every movie produced by Lin's Pictures, but watching it in the company's screening room and watching it in the cinema are completely different feelings.

She went to watch a movie today because she was visiting theaters, but watching a movie really made her feel relaxed that she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Mrs. Lin, I think it will be no problem for "Across the World" to break 40 million." Wu Meizhen said in a flattering manner.

"Whether it can reach 40 million is not something we can say. It's too early to say now."

Tao Yushu glanced at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. She took out a 500-yuan note from her wallet.

The movie tickets and popcorn just now were all bought by Wu Meizhen.

"You worked hard overtime with me. Let's go have a nice meal later."

Wu Meizhen took the money naturally and said "Thank you, Mrs. Lin."

The two separated after leaving the cinema. When they returned home, she saw Lin Chaoyang and his two children sitting obediently on the sofa, looking up at Tao Yumo who was standing in the living room.

At this moment, she was talking endlessly and looked very high-spirited.

""..——-In today's era of rapid development of the electronic industry, video games have become a high-profile cultural phenomenon.

For many years, video games have always been one-sidedly regarded by some people as a symbol of boredom, but they have ignored the many positive meanings it contains and the many benefits it brings to individuals, industries and countries————”

Sugar Games was established almost two years ago and currently has three games launched. In addition to being sold in Xiangjiang, it is also sold to Bay Island, Haojiang and various Southeast Asian countries.

The cumulative sales volume of the first game "Monopoly" has reached 84,000 copies, and the sales volume of the second game "Swordsman" has exceeded the 100,000 copy mark.

Considering the current development of the electronic game industry and the intellectual property protection situation in various countries and regions, it is extremely difficult for these two games to achieve such results.

The revenue generated from the release of the game has allowed Sugar Sugar Games to survive and thrive.

When the third game "Xuanyuan Sword" was launched, with its unique connotation and rich sense of history, the sales of this game ushered in explosive growth.

In the first month of its launch, 48,000 copies were sold in Hong Kong and Bay Island. For three consecutive months after that, although sales continued to decline, the results achieved far exceeded those of the previous two games.

By the end of November, the cumulative sales of "Xuanyuan Sword" in Xiangjiang, Wandao, Haojiang and other Southeast Asian countries had exceeded 150,000 copies.

The excellent sales performance of "Xuanyuan Sword" has brought sales of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars to Sugar Games. It has also attracted the attention of many financial media in Hong Kong for this game company that was established less than two years ago.

Since the 1970s, Xiangjiang has been famous in Asia for its electronics industry OEM. Since it can do OEM, it proves that it has accumulated experience in hardware.

The Gold Computer Market in Sham Shui Po is proof of this, offering all kinds of electronic products and equipment at high quality and low prices.

But in terms of software, Xiangjiang is almost blank.

The reason is also very simple. The direct result of the highly developed hardware industry is the maturity of piracy technology.

In addition, the current intellectual property protection in Xiangjiang is far from sound, so there is no chance for software companies to develop.

Sugar Games is not a pure software company, but it can grow in such a barren soil in Hong Kong.

It can be regarded as a medium-sized miracle.

The media is paying attention, so naturally they don't want to be interviewed. At this moment, Tao Yumo is "rehearsing" the interview with "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" tomorrow.

After the impassioned "speech" ended, Tao Yumo asked with some anticipation: "How was it? How was it?"

Dongdong and Yanyan applauded enthusiastically. Although the two little guys couldn't quite understand what their aunt was talking about, it didn't matter. They just applauded and that was it. My aunt is the best!

Tao Yumo ignored the applause of the two people and focused his eyes entirely on Lin Chaoyang.

"Not very good."

She looked frustrated, but then she became angry again, "What's wrong? Tell me!"

"It's so deliberate! Who gives interviews like giving a speech?"

Lin Chaoyang's words made Tao Yumo reflect. Although she didn't want to admit it, she seemed to be a little deliberate.

"Relax a little more. Don't act like you're memorizing words and pretend that you made them up right now." Lin Chaoyang guided.

"What do you mean 'I made it up now'?" Tao Yumo gave him a roll of his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Do you still want to practice? If not, we still have to play!"

"Practice! Practice! Practice!" Tao Yumo immediately put away her arrogance and acted like a smart and capable strong woman.

It's a pity that she has been used to being a stay-at-home girl for so many years. No matter how she pretends to be, she still gives people the impression of being strong on the outside but capable on the inside, especially compared with Tao Yushu who just came back from being an all-powerful person outside and looks smart and capable.

"Stop pretending to be a professional elite, it's good to act as you are." Tao Yushu suggested.

Tao Yumo was a little reluctant, "I've been practicing for a long time."

"No matter how much you practice, it's useless." Tao Yushu struck mercilessly.
