Sometimes overconsumption is not necessarily a good thing!

When "Star Wars 7" was released, the overwhelming publicity made many passers-by and fans walk into the cinema, and then tell them with a confused face, this is not for you to see, this is a gift to Star Wars fans.

Then, Rogue One came...

Experience teaches!

Except for true Star Wars fans, no one wants to buy tickets...

And one more point, the casting failed!

A bunch of people on Zhihu asked, 'Why did Jiang Wen star in "Star Wars""...

What does that mean?

It shows that Jiang Wen fans and Star Wars fans are not the same dimensional thing!

Of course, if "Rogue One" is awesome enough to break the dimensional wall, then another story...

The problem is that he failed to break the dimensional wall - Jiang Wen's fan replied 'he went to London for a vacation'...

As for 'that's Star Wars', or 'xxx appears in 20 seconds, 4 lines of faceless Stormtroo'...

So what's that?

In your opinion, this is a super awesome movie, but in Jiang Wen's opinion, it is far better to drop by and go on vacation to London...

……

In this year's North American market, the box office champion is an animated film - "Finding Nemo 2: Where Are Dolly Going";

The third place is also an animated film - "The Big Secret of Pets";

The second-ranked "Captain America 3"...

Then there's Jungle, Deadpool, Zootopia...

Disney dominates Hollywood!

Judging from the North American box office market alone, Orange Manufacturing entered the top five this year, ahead of Sony and Paramount...

Paramount's 2016 miserable comparison, there is only one work on the film list, "Star Trek: Beyond the Stars", which has a box office of over 100 million, and only this film can be regarded as the head movie of the top production and big-name cast. Other genre films such as "Arrival" and "10 Clover Road" have performed well, but they do not contribute to the overall situation.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows" and "Ben-Hur", which invested a lot of money to produce, basically ended in fiasco.

Lionsgate has also been miserable this year - the sequel movies have not performed well, "Divergent 3: Loyal World" and "Amazing Rogue 2" have not done well at the box office...

With "The Conjuring 2", "Annabelle 2", "The Great Wall", "Oolong Agent", "Human Removal Project 3", "After the Lights Out", "Fast and Furious 2" and "The Martian", Orange Manufacturing has won more than $880 million at the domestic box office...

Now the momentum is gaining momentum - Wall Street has given a market cap estimate of $8 billion!

Lu Xiaoran personally holds 80% of the shares, and he came this time to sell 51% of them and be his second shareholder with peace of mind...

There are many formal offers, including Warner, 21st Century Fox, Lionsgate, and even Weinstein Pictures, but there are only two buyers that Lu Xiaoran is willing to accept: Comcast or Netflix...

Comcast because they offered too much - they were willing to take 51% of Lu Xiaoran's equity for $4.5 billion;

It is understandable that they fell in love with the creativity of oranges in horror films, and most importantly, they fell in love with the Conjuring Universe - most of the copyright of the Conjuring Universe belongs to Orange Manufacturing, and Wen Ziren only owns 20% of the copyright...

Netflix...

It's because Orange Manufacturing has a close relationship with Netflix, and they have a series of TV series cooperation plans...

Lu Xiaoran can directly sell the shares in his hand to Comcast or Netflix.

But this time it's different from the last time I sold Netflix shares - orange manufacturing has his hard work!

Investing in Netflix itself is about making money...

So, after thinking about it carefully, Lu Xiaoran still decided to listen to the opinions of the 'grassroots employees' - it can't be in the name of dreams, and then...

"That's the way it is. ”

Lu Xiaoran picked up the coffee and took a sip: "What do you think?"

David asked, "Do you have to sell it?"

They all like Boss Lu very much, rarely manage the company, and are a knowledgeable person...

Lu Xiaoran nodded affirmatively: "We must sell it, otherwise, let's wait for a lawsuit!"

David glanced at Wen Ziren, and the two shrugged...

Yes, there have been a lot of troublemakers in the past year, often when a movie is released, some people say that it infringes copyrights, or plagiarizes ideas, and asks for forced removal...

It's disgusting!

It's clear that you've been targeted!

Who made you have no thighs?

David gave a suggestion: "If I were you, I would divide the shares into three parts, sell them to Netflix and Comcast respectively, keep 30% for myself, and then retain one veto!"

“…”

That's a good idea!

"Or simply divide it into five parts, the more capital you bring in, the more power you have to speak!"

“… Let me think about it. ”

Lu Xiaoran pondered for a while, he felt that it was feasible, but what about the attitude of the buyer?

The reason why people are bidding is to occupy the right to speak, you want to retain the right to vote, but also want to sell the shares, it is estimated that it will not work...

Capital is not stupid!

"Let's not talk about these for now, "La La Land" is very fierce, I heard about this movie in China!"

John Hozis smiled: "... We didn't expect that either. ”

The production cost of 30 million US dollars, the global box office has soared to 200 million US dollars, and the box office in North America is as high as 80 million US dollars...

Most importantly, swept the awards season outpost...

"Don't be modest, it's a good thing, spend more resources on PR..."

……

In Wen Ziren's office, he is reporting to Lu Xiaoran: "Next year's horror films we have "Annabelle 2: Birth", "Nun", "Attic Horror", "Closet"..."

“… You look at it," Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and changed the topic: "Is the script of "The Great Wall 2" finished?"

"I'm done, filming will start in March next year, and I'll try to release it the year after next..."

"There is no rush to release, it is best to create two or three scripts at the same time to maintain a little coherence. ”

"Financial pressure?" Wen Ziren asked.

"There will be no problem with funding, in addition, I have prepared a script and want to direct it myself, you can help me read it..."

As he spoke, Lu Xiaoran opened his mailbox, flipped out the script of "Knives Out" - the English version, and then let Wen Ziren pass his eyes.

"Knives Out" is certainly a very good script...

Otherwise, it won't attract a bunch of big names to take the initiative to take a pay cut to participate, you look at the lineup of the original time and space: Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, including Ana de Armas, who is also a new Bond girl...

This lineup, the market price, just the salary plus one piece is more than 60 million US dollars, how much does this play cost?

Less than $65 million!

Of course, that director is also quite awesome, Ryan Johnson, the director of "Breaking Bad", the director of "Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi"...

If Lu Xiaoran filmed this scene, he might not have this card...

However, Chris Evans should take a pay cut...

Is it possible to invite Sebastian Stan to play through him?

The Winter Soldier and the American team, this gimmick is okay!

Over there, Wen Ziren finished reading the script and praised: "This script is really good, when are you going to shoot it?"

"I will go back to China first to get two movies, and strive to find time to shoot them in the second half of this year. ”

“… What do you need me to do?"

"Let's be a producer, I'll have to find someone else in the province!"

"No problem!"
