    For Dandelion Movies in 2006, although the number of productions was not large, the profits were considerable.  "The Night Watchman", released in January, is the sequel to the 2003 "The Night Watchman". It was filmed very early but has not been released until the beginning of this year.  ??It finally achieved a global box office of US$45 million. Compared with the cost of less than US$4 million, it made too much money.  ??The movie "Monster on the Han River" invested in South Korea has also become the highest box office record in South Korea's box office history with 13.01 million moviegoers. In other words, in South Korea alone, it has received a super box office of 65.62 million US dollars.  The subsequent global release was so-so, with only US$5 million at the box office outside South Korea, for a total box office of US$70.62 million.  For an Asian film company, Dandelion can live a comfortable life just relying on the income from these two movies.  Film companies are having an easy time, and investors are naturally confident.  Regarding the integration of Dandelion into Jiahe Entertainment, the news of backdoor listing has attracted widespread attention, and 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 and financing, and the government is also studying relevant policies. Everything is ready and all it takes is the east wind.  In fact, it is generally difficult for Asian movies to achieve high box office. The real highlight is Sasha Entertainment.  This year is full of surprises for Sasha Entertainment.  The first is "The Da Vinci Code" produced by Sasha Entertainment, distributed by Paramount, and released first in the summer season.  This movie is adapted from Dan Brown's novel of the same name. Wan Xiaohu had the foresight to buy the film adaptation rights of the novel.  The novel subsequently sold tens of millions of copies.  It also fueled the audience's expectations for the movie.  After the project was approved last year, Ron Howard was invited to direct.  As soon as it was released, it was met with critical acclaim. A large number of people criticized the movie for distorting history and aroused unanimous dissatisfaction among religious people. Of course, there were also a large number of viewers who found it enjoyable after watching it.  Amidst this criticism, the movie began a crazy road to grab the box office.  By the end of the summer season, sales in North America were US$217 million and overseas sales were US$541 million.  With a global revenue of US$758 million, it ranked second only to "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in the global box office list in 2006.  "Sasha Entertainment's brilliant victory!" - "Variety" magazine has always paid attention to independent film companies other than major studios, and the performance of Sasha Entertainment has been noticed by it.  A movie is not a brilliant victory, Sasha Entertainment has many surprises.  According to Adam Ferguson's plan, in May, he fully acquired his old neighbor Summit Entertainment and two low-cost movies "Once" and "Dance My Life".  "Once" has not been filmed yet.  "Dance My Life" is scheduled to be released in the summer season in June.  I didn't have high expectations for the movie. After all, it was just a small-budget movie starring newcomer Channing Tatum, directed by newcomer director Anne Fletcher, and costing less than 10 million U.S. dollars.  An outdated theme of youth musicals.  It would be a blessing to have a box office of 30 to 50 million yuan.  But movies have such a charm. It doesn¡¯t mean that the bigger your investment, the bigger your gains will be.  It doesn¡¯t mean that you won¡¯t get big gains if you make a small investment.  It exceeded 20 million U.S. dollars in its opening week in North America. It finally received 65.33 million U.S. dollars in North America, 48.87 million U.S. dollars overseas, and a global box office of 114.2 million U.S. dollars. It shocked the eyes of experts.  Then in September.  "The Departed" directed by Martin Scorsese and adapted from "The Departed" has also begun to be released.  "Infernal Affairs", which was originally ignored in North America, was in the hands of Lao Ma. He casually added a few swear words and the box office immediately ignited.  It earned US$132 million in North America, US$157 million overseas, and US$290 million worldwide, making it another blockbuster movie.  Not to mention, the fourth part of the "Saw" series, which is bound to meet the audience every November, cost US$12 million to produce, and took in US$63.3 million at the box office in North America, and ultimately US$139 million globally, which is more than the previous one.  Some of them are slightly inferior, but they still get the job done.  "The best-performing independent film company this year, we look forward to Sasha Entertainment's last film of the year "Never Ending" creating another miracle!" - "The New York Times".  On October 15, 2006, "Never Ended" held its North American premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.  After the premiere, the movie-watching media gave it good reviews.  ¡°Then we came to Beijing and held the Chinese premiere, which was still well received.  Then one after another, premieres were held in several key ticket warehouses in Russia, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.  After the premiere, it was December and the movie was officially released in North America and mainland China.  ¡°Ah ah ah, after running this lap, I feel bad all over.¡± Back in Santa Monica, Wan XiaoHu lay exhausted in Jessica's arms and said tiredly.  For publicity, box office, and market, Wan Xiaohu almost never leaves the plane. Starting from the Venice Film Festival, he has been traveling to various countries to participate in programs, promote movies, and attend premieres.  Because I traveled all over the world, jet lag made me confused, and I couldn¡¯t eat well or sleep well.  "Although I know what you have to do for the company now, I still want to say, Tiger, don't be too hard on yourself. You are so lucky, I'm worried, you know." "Haha, don't worry, everything starts from the beginning  Difficult, that is, for the movie "Never Ending", we are doing global distribution ourselves, and I need to run around and help with it. I won't have to go to such trouble in the future, and I will have a lot of time to eat, drink and have fun again.  " "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, I will buy you the best gift," Wan Xiaohu said.  , took out a beautifully wrapped small box from his pocket and handed it to Jessica.  "Another panda doll?" Jessica asked with a smile.  "No, no, no, you'll know just by looking at it." Jessica opened the box expectantly.  Inside is a pair of sparkling sapphire earrings that shine brightly.  "Do you like it? This pair of earrings is called 'Charming You'. It is a pair of handmade works by French jewelry masters with a similarity of 99.999%. I was at the jewelry fair and fell in love with it at first sight. I thought it was the only one.  Only then can I be worthy of your beauty.¡± ¡°Wow, it¡¯s so beautiful.¡± Countless little stars flashed in Jessica¡¯s eyes.  "I'll bring it for you." Wan Xiaohu picked up the earrings. They were heavy and priceless.  Jessica gently asked Wan Xiaohu to help put on the earrings.  Wait until you bring it.  Wan Xiaohu took a step back, looked at Jessica, and praised: "Beautiful, so beautiful, these earrings are already incredibly beautiful, but you are even more beautiful than them, making them look dull!" "Haha. Thank you, Tiger.  "Jessica smiled slightly, looking particularly happy.  "I also want to thank God for allowing me to meet you." Wan Xiaohu said passionately, then held Jessica's waist and kissed her gently.  The dim sunlight, which is about to set, shines on the sea.  Then the sparkling light reflected into the villa. ? Sunset, sea, villa, kiss.  It¡¯s as beautiful as a painting.  ¡­ ¡­ After rubbing his hands, Tom looked at the long queue in front of him.  I felt a little speechless and couldn't help but complain to the people in front of me.  "Why do you all choose to watch a Chinese movie? There are so many good movies now, why don't you go see "Happy Feet", "007: Casino Royale", or "A Clues"?  Hmm, "The Nativity" is not bad, you can go and watch it too! " "Brother, that's easy to say, why don't you go see other movies?" A person in front turned around and looked at it with disdain.  "Because I don't like to watch movies with the mainstream. I like to watch science fiction movies and cult movies. I like to watch Wan Xiaohu's movies. I am his fan." "Do you think that when we come here and queue up, we all don't like science fiction movies?  , cult movies, don¡¯t like Wan Xiaohu? Okay, buddy, just bear with me, who told us that there are only three theaters here to show "Never End"? " "You don't like Wan Xiaohu's movies?  What are you waiting in line for? " "Well, do you know why only three of the five cinemas here show "Never Ending"? " "I don't know what it is."  The reason is that there are only 2,540 theaters for "Never Ending", which is not very large. " "I know." A boy wearing glasses interjected, "Because "Never Ending" is distributed by Sasha Entertainment.  Without the channels of a big studio, it is difficult to win too many theaters, and many distribution agreements cannot be negotiated. "This is exactly the case. As the first self-distributed film by Sasha Entertainment, it does not have the connections of a big studio.  , it is difficult to gain any advantage in the movie box office share.  The share offered to theaters was too high, and Sasha Entertainment was unwilling to do so. The share offered by Sasha Entertainment was too high, and theaters were unwilling to do so. This resulted in the failure to negotiate with many theater chains.  ¡°We have to wait until the box office results are released before we can continue to negotiate and expand the scale.  "This is really unfortunate news. Independent film companies can never compete with big studios." Tom said regretfully, "How much box office do you think "No Ending" can get? I think it's good after watching the trailer.  Xiaohu¡¯s movieQuality is always guaranteed.  And many people in the media said that the movie is very cool and beautiful, and it will definitely be a big hit.  " "That's not necessarily the case. There are many movies that are either well-received or not well-received. I have read the original novel and feel that there are not many selling points, so I support the experts' opinion.  " "What do the experts say?  " "The opening result is about 15 million U.S. dollars, and the final global result is about 140 million U.S. dollars. It should be lower than the result of "Source Code". After all, "Source Code" also has Chen Kun, who I heard is the actor of "Never Ending"  Never heard of it.  " "Come-on, have some confidence, okay? I think the movie can get 200 million US dollars!  "As a fan of Wan Xiaohu, Tom is full of confidence.
