Chapter 247: Overseas Broadcast Rights!
The box office on the first day was 330 million!
This box office really shocked a lot of people!
Let's put it this way, the domestic films released at the same time in August include seven domestic films, three Hollywood films, one Bollywood film, and one European movie.
The first-day box office of the other films combined...... It's exactly two-thirds of the way through this movie!
You know, this is the box office on the first day!
It's not the strongest schedule for Golden Week and New Year's files, it's said to be a summer file, but it wasn't released until August, and no effort was spared in terms of publicity, but according to the requirements of the party, many of the highlights in the movie didn't appear in the promotional film at all!
Even many critics think that this movie is very problematic.
There are too many private goods, the layout is also a little messy, and the plot is weak......
There are a lot of problems, but that's how high it was on its first day.
In the end, fans, netizens, fans, and film critics, the media can only boil down the reason to one point - because its director is Fang Bei!
Yes, only this one explanation makes sense!
Otherwise, even if the quality of this movie is not bad, and it can even be said that it is a top-level popcorn movie in the world, its first-day box office may not be so high!
So when the Chinese Film and Television Association was silent, and the above also wanted the other party not to publicize, and the quality of the film was really not bad, the media began to hype!
"The Pillar of Chinese Films", "The Bridgehead of the Counterattack against Hollywood Movies", "The King of August Summer Files" and a series of titles are all installed on the head of the movie "League of Legends: Heroes Assembled"!
Major theaters have also begun to increase their efforts, and the number of films in "League of Legends: Heroes Assembled" has soared from 43 percent to 57 percent!
If it weren't for the fact that the above felt that it was a bit too much and urgently called it off, I am afraid that the theater side would be eager to remove all other movies from the shelves and arrange "League of Legends"!
It was the theater side that also began to make its own efforts!
The best advertising posters in major theaters are arranged!
When fans walk into the ticket waiting hall of the big theater, the first thing they see is the huge poster of "League of Legends"!
Take two steps, and the models of some of the characters in the play are also standing there, reminding everyone who walks into the cinema: Brother, buy a ticket!
When I looked up, the ceiling was also a huge poster of "League of Legends"!
The screen above the ticket office scrolls infinitely through the League of Legends trailer!
Even when I went to the toilet, the urinal hung on it was not "a small step forward", but directly replaced with a promotional poster for "League of Legends"!
Every male compatriot who is solving a small problem has to look at Yan Shuangying affectionately on the poster at a convenient time.
I have to say that Yan Shuangying's full eyes made them a lot faster.
But there are also many people who look at Yan Shuangying's "staring at themselves" eyes, and they really can't pee.
But the theater ignored their complaints.
I have to say that now Fang Bei has become a moving moving board.
The concept of "don't produce it, it must be a high-quality product" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of young fans.
But then again, the main force in China to go to the cinema to watch movies is not young people.
Nowadays, the habits of young people watching movies have slowly changed.
Maybe when watching other movies, their first reaction is to see who the actor is.
And watching the movies produced by Fang Mu Film and Television, their first reaction is to watch the director and screenwriter.
As for who the actor is...... Who careοΌ
Anyway, the starring roles and some supporting roles in other movies can become popular.
So now in fact, many people in the film and television industry want to hug Fang Bei's thighs, but they don't have to worry about being able to contact Fang Bei.
After all, who are Fang's friends in the entertainment industry now?
Liu Mang, Wu Kai and the group of people in the team.
Liu Mang's group of old friends who play music.
Those two kings of pop music who have almost forgotten their names.
Zhang Luo.
Those actors really have no way.
On the poster in the movie theater, the eight big characters "director" and "screenwriter" are very eye-catching.
If it weren't for the graphic design, I'm afraid they would have allowed the design to occupy most of the posters with other names!
I'll give you a colorful red!
The name is enough.
Not to mention his "fame" in Hollywood, at least in China, he is the absolute representative of the new generation of directors!
Even in the eyes of some people, the word "new generation" can be removed.
............
Beacon Nation, conference room at Warner Bros. headquarters.
"Gentlemen, our first-day box office figures are out. β
As we all know, the bosses of Warner Bros. are two brothers, Ah Hua and Ana.
Now it is my brother Ah Hua who is speaking.
This is not his real name, but this is to open up the Chinese market, and he specially gave himself a Chinese name.
There was also a circle of Warner shareholders in the room, including Chamberlain, the director of "Genesis."
It is well known that Chamberlain was not a Chinese.
Of course, he is not the one who plays basketball, nor is he the one who plays football.
He is a very famous director.
And now he is very concerned about the box office of his film.
"How much is the box office?"
Ah Hua snapped his fingers, and the blonde, blue-eyed, high-nosed female secretary flipped through the tablet: "The box office of "Genesis" in North America reached 54 million US dollars on the first day, and the box office in three days over the weekend was about 130 million. It is currently the No. 1 box office in North America this week. β
Ah Hua raised a third of the red wine glass: "Congratulations." β
The investment cost of "Genesis" is 170 million US dollars, and according to this trend, the recovery of the cost is easy and pleasant, and the film has made a lot of money.
Now the question is how much you can earn.
"How is it over there?"
Warner is very concerned about the Chinese market.
No, it should be said that it is not just Warner, but the film companies in the lighthouse country are very concerned about Huaguo.
At present, it can be said that North America and China are the two largest box offices in the world, and basically more than 30 or even 40 percent of Hollywood's movie box office comes from China.
It's almost not much less than in North America.
The secretary scratched the tablet and said, "The box office of "Genesis" in China on the first day was 120 million Chinese dollars, which is very good, but ...... Only ranked second. β
"Oh?" said Chamberlain, intrigued, "who is the first?"
"League of Legends: Heroes Assembled", according to the survey, is the first film in a trilogy, and the director and screenwriter are both ...... The young Chinese director whose name is BieFang. β
"How much does he gross?"
"330 million on the first day!"
β......β
Ah Hua sighed and laughed at himself: "It turned out to be him, no wonder ......"
I have to say that in the past, they Warner just regarded Huaguo as the backyard of Hollywood movies.
Make money, you can still earn money while standing, and you can earn a lot!
Who doesn't like that?
But he doesn't really pay much attention to the film industry in that country, he just sighs that the people of that country are really rich!
But the movie that caused a sensation in Hollywood some time ago made him remember this young Chinese man thoroughly!
A Chinese man! A young Chinese man! He traveled thousands of miles to the lighthouse country! And then he was suppressed by Hollywood! After that, he found a group of marginal actors in Hollywood! A production team brought from China made an inexplicable movie!
Then this movie directly swept the box office of one billion dollars in North America!
Of course, this is only the North American box office.
If you count the whole world, that Oriental movie was only released in North America, and the box office was a billion US dollars.
Although Tom Smith's movie only has more than 500 million US dollars in North America, counting the more than 800 million US dollars in other overseas regions, in the end, the global total box office is close to 1.4 billion US dollars!
I have to admit that that young man is terrifying!
The previous film gave the IRS a head start, and when Columbia proposed to jointly ban the Chinese director, Warner had no objection.
It's just a young director from another country, and it's not a big deal.
But now......
Everyone is playing with capital, and it's a bastard if you don't make money!
Ah Hua snapped his fingers again: "Go investigate, if his movie is still a superhero movie...... Contact him as soon as possible, lower your posture, we must win the overseas distribution rights of his films!"
The secretary was about to agree, but Ahua's younger brother Ana next to him smiled: "There's no need for this." β
Seeing the old brother's displeasure, Ana shook his red wine glass and explained: "Before you said that, I would have asked people to make a plan to contact the young director. β
Ah Hua nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that my father's teachings and my brother have not forgotten them.
So he picked up his cup and touched a glass with everyone: "Cheers." β
............
Columbia, Thiago, who became the manager of the promotional outlet because of a different film, was also in a meeting with the company's directors.
After this period of excellent leadership, he has now been promoted to CEO of Columbia by an absolute vote at the shareholders' meeting.
Of course, the main reason is that his family is the largest shareholder in Colombia.
"Gentlemen. He leaned forward slightly, which brought a great sense of pressure to the shareholders, "I believe you have all read the data, and now I want to go all out to fight for the overseas distribution rights of the young Chinese director's new film, who has a different opinion?"
After a pause, he added: "Gentlemen, we cannot make the same mistake twice. β
The shareholders looked at each other, and everyone said they had no opinion.
Nonsense, what can you say about lying down to make money?
Whoever prevents them from making money is everyone's enemy!
............
Disney β
"Do you want to win the new movie directed by Hua Guo?"
"Let's give it a try, superheroes are a point we've always wanted to dabble into, and if we can get the overseas distribution rights for the new movie 'Father of Superheroes', it will also be good for us. It doesn't matter if you don't make money. β
"Well, then I'll get people to contact you, and it's better to keep your posture a little lower. The young man...... I am more arrogant than Tom Smith in my heart. β
"yes, we've missed Tom Smith, we can't afford to miss this BieFang again. β
............
Liu Mang: "Old Fang!
Fang Bei: "What exploded? The earth exploded?"
Liu Mang: "No! The box office of our movie broke 1.5 billion in the first week! This only took a week!"
Fang Bei: "Oh, it's only 1.5 billion, drizzle." β
Anyway, they are all working for the Su Group, and Fang Bei's heart is dripping blood......
Why do you want to go on like this, and you have to be on an equal footing with the Su Group?
Liu Mang: "...... That other news you don't know!"
Fang Bei: "What's the matter?"
Liu Mang: "Hollywood's Big Eight! They all found us and wanted to buy the overseas distribution rights of our films!"
Fang Bei: "Huh?"
He was interested.
If he can make more money, will the future "game empire" in his heart be more stable?
