Chapter 761 "Prison Break" premiered
"Chen Dong, the overall attendance rate is not bad, within the acceptable range. Bruce Lee called Chen Mubai at night to report on the situation.
"I've tried to get the maximum number of films, except for a little more in our theaters, the rest of the companies don't have a high schedule, even if there are only two or three shows at most in prime time, they still focus on American films. ”
"Unless the follow-up movies explode or the attendance rate is very high, it is possible to add a little more scheduling, but it is estimated that there will not be too many. ”
Chen Mubai listened to Bruce Lee's report and didn't speak, waiting for the other party to finish before he spoke.
"Thank you for your hard work, we have just entered the American market from China, it is already very good to be able to do this, we have to get a piece of the pie when we enter here, they are naturally not happy to see us grow, I am afraid that we will be defeated." ”
"Just go steady, I guess I want to give a little film schedule to see how our movies respond, which is an estimate of our prospects, after all, we want to enter the international market, and North America is a big box office, and they are also looking at our potential. ”
"Solomon is still promoting Infernal Affairs, and if we have a high attendance, they will find stars who are bigger and more famous than us, and they will get more attention, and the box office of their films will also increase. ”
"You keep looking, if there is a theater chain willing to sell, we will buy it and expand it little by little, and now we have officially entered the American market, and those companies are also guarding against us and will not let us expand comfortably. ”
"But capitalism is still based on money, no one will have a hard time with money, they can't be united, there must be poorly run theaters that will be sold, if other companies want to stop us from buying, then they have to buy, so they will compete with us. ”
"If you bid for the acquisition, the theaters that are only afraid of selling are very happy to see this situation, and once this happens, many theaters that are not profitable will definitely have the idea of selling to make a lot of money. ”
This is also very understandable, something that is not profitable in the first place, suddenly someone wants to take over, and as a result, two or even more than three parties come to grab it, then it is naturally the one with the highest price.
This also means that the selling price will definitely be much higher than their expected price, after all, someone is competing to increase the price, your price is low, the other party does not sell, and there are always people who are willing to pay a high price.
Now Mubai Entertainment has just entered the American market, and if it wants to further expand its influence, it can only spend money to open the way.
Mubai Entertainment has a very abundant cash flow, not to mention that there are two big brothers behind it, both of whom are rich masters, not bad for money!
Weiyu has the ambition to enter the world, once the investment in Mubai Entertainment is successful, it will be very helpful for the diffusion of his products, which can greatly enhance the company's popularity.
Once this prospect makes people see, the earnings on stocks are all calculated in tens of billions, what is this small amount of money?
Weiyu is bound to increase its chips and follow-up, and it is not the kind of empty check in the first place, Chen Mubai himself is investing money, what reason do they have not to follow?
"Okay, I see, I'll keep an eye out for those theaters that are not doing well, and when the time comes, I'll get in touch to see if they are willing to sell them. Bruce Lee nodded.
The boss let go, and he can let go and do it.
He can feel Chen Mubai's ambition for the American film and television market, but he can't do it directly, he still needs Chen Mubai to speak.
Therefore, when he reports, as long as he tells Chen Mubai about the matter, the other party will inevitably take measures.
This is also a small strategy, which can not only test Chen Mubai's meaning, but also get the answer.
......
Half a month has passed.
The reputation of several movies has stabilized, among which "Nezha: The Demon Boy Descends" has the highest box office, getting more than $20 million at the box office, and then "Infernal Affairs 2" has a box office of nearly $20 million, and "Operation Red Sea" has a box office of more than 10 million.
This war film is well made, but the United States has had this type of movie, and it is not very good, and they are not very interested in this movie in comparison.
But what the film is about has sparked a debate, can a country really pay that price to save a citizen who is not very important?
At least not in the minds of the American people, the price to pay is too great.
Many soldiers were sacrificed, and the special forces also killed two people and injured several others, and the price was not heavy.
You must know that it is not easy to train every soldier of this level, and those who can enter the special forces are considered to be one in a million, and the sacrifice of this kind of character is to save a meaningless citizen?
If it is reasonable to say that it is to rescue ministers, scientists, and businessmen such as the president, at least there are people with a pivotal position, and the sacrifice is worth it.
There is no point in sacrificing for the sake of unimportant people!
But that being said, the message behind the film is still worth studying, and many people believe that if there is really a country that can do this, it will indeed make the people feel very safe.
Some people believe it and some people don't, and there is a discussion about it, but this movie is based on a true story, and there is indeed an evacuation operation in a similar situation, which can be regarded as adding a bit of credibility to the matter.
This is the power of cultural export, as long as the work can be produced and people can watch it and spark discussion, it will be successful.
At present, it seems that Chen Mubai has done quite successfully together.
Although the movie is not a big hit, it can be regarded as opening up its popularity, and everyone still remembers the name Chen Mubai.
In this case, his new film and television drama "Prison Break" naturally attracted everyone's attention, and he also gained his own fans.
Originally, this drama had been promoted before, but it was not very strong, after all, it had just started filming, and the people who starred in it urged the American people to be not very famous, and few people paid attention to it.
It's different now, the word-of-mouth and response of the movie are fed back to this drama, and there are a lot of people who pay attention to it.
Mubai Entertainment has also started a vigorous promotion on the American side, because "Prison Break" is about to be released.
The first episode will be broadcast first, and then one episode will be broadcast every week, just like American dramas and British dramas.
This method also makes it unnecessary for film and television dramas to be filmed before they are broadcast, which greatly reduces the broadcast time for a long time.
From the title of the play, you can see what type of work this is, and everyone is still very interested.
On the stills, the avatars of Chen Mubai and Liang Wei are the most eye-catching, and they are also the starring roles of "Infernal Affairs", which makes many people who like the movie "Infernal Affairs" interested.
After all, the performance of the two in "Infernal Affairs" is too good, which is eye-catching, and everyone still has confidence in their acting skills.
In addition, although the subject matter is different, it is also similar, and the crime drama is very interesting.
"Hey, Angle!" Mitchell greeted Angle.
"The Chinese star you like, Chen Mubai, his new work "Prison Break" is about to be released, do you know?"
Mitchell knew that Angle liked Chen Mubai in the movie theater last time, and went back to learn more about him, and then he found that this Chinese star was a bit powerful, no wonder so many people in the United States have been discussing him recently, his talent is too outstanding!
Even compared with many internationally renowned stars, Chen Mubai does not lose to them, and he is indeed very powerful.
After watching the movie last time, he asked Angle twice more, but each time she took Millie with her, and the three of them watched several of Chen Mubai's works.
Mitchell knew little about Chen Mubai from the beginning to a very good understanding later, and he also participated in the topic discussion, and the three of them had a good discussion, which once gave him hope.
It's just that most of the time it's him and Millie talking, and Angle is listening to the two of them more often than not, which if people who don't know can see it and think he's interesting to Millie!
Angle's current indifference to his offensive has left him with some frustration.
Fortunately, Millie noticed something, she was not stupid, if it wasn't for some purpose, how could she come out to play twice in three days?
This is not something that the average friend can do.
Then she deliberately asked Angle what the specific situation was, only to learn that Mitchell wanted to chase her, but she had no intention of falling in love at this stage.
After a few encounters, Millie is a little interesting to Mitchell, so she tells Angle that if she's sure she's not going to be with Mitchell, she'd like to try to chase her.
Yes, Mitchell didn't impress Angle, but he did Miri......
Angle was a little surprised, but she really didn't mean to be with Mitchell, so she chose to help Millie and help her attack Mitchell.
She secretly matches the two, so every time they are together, Millie and Mitchell talk a lot, and she is more like a chaperone.
It's just that Mitchell didn't know about all this, and he thought that Millie was just enlivening the atmosphere and was afraid that he would be embarrassed so he kept talking to him, which made him feel different about Millie in his heart.
"I know, but not every website has that drama, only a few websites have it. Angle replied.
"yes, I still want to ask you, I know where to watch it, I don't know......" Mitchell nodded and said, "I usually watch Fox and AMC TV dramas, but neither of these ...... "Prison Break"
Millie said, "I know, I'll tell you about a website......"
"This website is a video website specially established by Chen Mubai, focusing on Chinese film and television works, and there will be his own works, which will be released here in the future, so there is no need to go to other websites, and his works will be here in the future, which is very trouble-free. ”
Mitchell was stunned: "Really?"
"Yes. Millie nodded and smiled: "I saw on the media news that there is a film that people don't think that Chen Mubai's drama meets our appetite, so they didn't buy the copyright, even if a TV station buys this drama, it won't necessarily buy the next drama, so it's better to go to his website." ”
"Okay, I'll make a note of it, I'll look for it when I get back. Mitchell nodded.
"Do you want to watch it together?" Mitchell looked at the two and said sincerely, "I think we can buy some delicious food, let's look forward to it together?"
"Yes!" Millie excitedly said.
"Okay. Angle nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll take care of the shopping, tell me if you want to eat, and I'll prepare it for you!" Mitchell smiled happily.
Well, all three were happy.
They all felt that they had achieved what they wanted.
......
"Prison Break" premieres at 12 o'clock local Friday.
If it is in China, Chen Mubai's works are usually placed around 8 p.m., which is the prime time, and people can watch TV after dinner after work and school.
But in the United States, it's not the same, where you usually take a break at noon until about 2 p.m. and then go back to work, during which time you can watch TV.
After work, on the contrary, they may have various parties and go out, and they may not have more people to watch during the lunch break.
Moreover, many people like to watch dramas and listen to music to pass the time when they are at work, and the happiness of fishing at work is far greater than that of watching dramas after work~
It is broadcast at noon, and even if someone may not have watched it, it does not prevent them from going back in the evening to see the replay or watch it on the website.
