Chapter 255: He Doesn't Understand Movies (2/6)
According to the data, the total number of Chinese movie screens has reached 19,000, ranking second in the world;
In 2012, the number of moviegoers in China's urban cinemas has reached 672 million.
Not only is Hollywood paying more and more attention to the Chinese market, but neighboring Japanese benzene certainly wants a piece of the pie.
The Prime Minister's Office convened a group of filmmakers and government officials to hold a meeting on the overseas business of the Japanese Benzene film industry. An important theme was how to enter China, where the film market was expanding rapidly, and finally it was decided that the government and the private sector should work together to provide comprehensive export support.
Heist of the Lost Ark has caught up with a good time!
At that meeting, many people specifically mentioned the upcoming "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The large-scale publicity and distribution of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Japan is undoubtedly a large-scale experiment, and it also proves that Sino-Japanese cooperative films are welcomed by business and policy in Japan.
Therefore, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" really encountered a new situation and received the treatment of "pro-son".
But just smashing resources may not necessarily be recognized by the audience.
Japanese film audiences are more receptive to domestic products, and Miyazaki's animated films have been at the top of the box office for many years...
So, the story matters!
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a well-completed story, and combined with market expectations, Toho gave a final box office expectation of 3.9 billion yen.
It's not bad, it should be in the top 10 of the year...
Of course, Lu Xiaoran also reciprocated, and this time he went to Japan to pack more than 30 batch films of the anime theater version, including "Naruto", "Doraemon", "One Piece", "Detective Conan"...
All of them have already been released, and the price is very cheap, more than 30 films plus 12 million yuan ...
Boss Lu is going to release a few films in China to try, and if it doesn't work, he will sell them to video companies.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a play, who dares to say that Lu Xiaoran is not a big director?
I'm in a good mood!
So much so that I didn't take the VIP channel, and was surrounded by reporters directly at the exit...
……
"In the final box office, I think China, Japan and South Korea should be able to have 300 million US dollars together!"
300 million US dollars, almost 2.1 billion yuan at the box office...
The Chinese market is 1.5 billion, and South Korea + Japanese benzene can also make 500 million!
South Korea, 8 million moviegoers, almost 250 million yuan at the box office, Japanese benzene market, 3.9 billion yen, equivalent to 300 million yuan...
That's enough!
"The biggest takeaway is, of course, that Chinese filmmakers can indeed borrow boats to go to sea. ”
"The sequel script has been released and is being improved, and it should be released next year..."
"Wang tearing onion said that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a bad movie?"
After a pause, Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "He doesn't understand movies, art, and business!"
"It's just a layman, it's just that there are more fans and more people who cater to it!"
"I don't like it or not, I don't know him, but I've seen Da Lao Wang, and he does have the courage of the richest man in China!"
"Wanda's overseas investment... Actually, I don't really like Chinese companies to invest in the United States, just like thinking, if you move your headquarters to the United States, then you still boast that you are a national enterprise..."
"Next month, "Embroidered Spring Knife" will be released, which is the beginning of a big series, revolving around the Daming rivers and lakes..."
"I'm not a fan, let alone a fan, but I don't understand a little bit, why most of the TV dramas we export to the outside world are Qing court dramas?
"What's next... I guess I'll start filming "Gravity"..."
While walking, he replied, walked for half an hour in just a few hundred meters, and got into the car, Lu Xiaoran wiped his sweat: "So enthusiastic?"
Chen Zhixi replied: ""Raiders of the Lost Ark" has broken one billion, and it is the fastest to break one billion, and the outside world is speculating whether this movie can break 2 billion!"
"I think too much, "Fast and Furious 6" and "Pacific Rim" are about to be released. ”
"Then how much do you think it will be at the box office?"
"1.5 billion is almost..."
"Do you want us to suggest that China Film withdraw those two Hollywood blockbusters from the summer file?"
“… No, it will be released on July 31, and the box office potential of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is almost exhausted..."
Picking up the water cup and taking a sip, Lu Xiaoran asked, "What's the matter with Wang tearing onions?"
“… I don't know either, he seems to be a fan of Zhou Jielun. ”
"Really?"
clicked on the mobile phone and looked at Weibo, Zhong Lifang's response was really on the hot search.
"Anyone can come out and comment on the movie!"
Then she was scolded by a bunch of Zhou Jielun's 'fans': movies are meant to be something that everyone can comment on!
There are also people who call her an 'old woman' or something, the words are particularly ugly...
Wang tearing onion's Weibo is 'Finally someone told the truth, I don't understand that a movie like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" can be a big hit!'
'My husband said awesome!'
Lu Xiaoran was speechless: "It's really..."
“… It's just his fans. ”
"So the 30-year-old wind of reform has blown up a bunch of people, and these people are the truth?"
"You're going to respond to him?"
"I'm not so down, I'll talk to him directly!"
Directly clicked on the orange ticket and found the cinema schedule on July 5th, Wanda gave 20% of the film schedule that day, and Lu Xiaoran directly edited the information:" Two things, first, I think public figures can have their own preferences, but it's best not to point fingers at things you don't understand, you're not a filmmaker, you don't understand movies;second, it's this picture, many fans privately message me that my movie was suppressed by Wanda, I think I can give 20% of the film, it's already very good, it's really suppressed, just don't put it on, what do you think@Wang Jianling!"
Chen Zhixi asked: "... Are you going to ban Wanda?"
Lu Xiaoran didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "If we don't give them the key, how much will we lose?"
"Based on Wanda's size, we will lose 20% of the box office!"
“… So much?"
"The Wanda Cinema Line is all in the downtown area..."
"So the rent and water are very high?"
"Hmm!"
"Then try to block it for half a year, we can afford to drag it out!"
The more downtown the city, the higher the rent, water and electricity, and the same goes for Wanda Cinema Line...
Once Orange blocks Wanda, not to mention anything else, Wanda Cinema Line will definitely not be able to enjoy the tax rebate - if the box office revenue of domestic films accounts for more than 55% of the total box office revenue, you can get rewards. Theaters accounting for more than 66% of the theaters will receive a reward equal to 100% of the special film funds handed over.
That's a 5% tax refund!
Orange's movies account for 60% of the domestic film box office, which is the confidence...
Chen Zhixi hesitated: "Let's discuss this matter with the board of directors..."
“… I'll just say it casually. ”
Lu Xiaoran is not the kind of person who is self-willed, and his big approach has not touched his bottom line...
Besides, can Wang tear the onion represent Wanda?
He can only speak for himself!
