Chapter 1517 One Billion Box Office Record!
Tempted by huge bonuses, the country's pirated disc producers suffered an unprecedented blow overnight, with more than 50 percent of the pirates caught overnight, and almost all the remaining pirates disappeared the next day.
None of these pirates who have been arrested for the time being are sure whether their information has been reported to Makino Technology, so they either start running away or start destroying evidence, in short, almost no one dares to commit crimes against the wind.
At this time, those who dare to commit crimes against the wind are generally small-scale family workshops, which do not need to hire additional workers, and the entry of raw materials and the delivery of finished products are very hidden and not easy to be discovered.
However, within a few days, these small-scale producers, even if they were not caught, largely lost the incentive to produce pirated copies, because the supply chain in this market began to break, and for a while, no one dared to sell pirated CDs in the market.
This is the terrible thing about Makino Technology, once a large enterprise of this size begins to sell pirated disks on the streets and alleys, as long as it receives a report, even if it is just a street vendor on the side of the road, Makino Technology will also submit these report clues to the local law enforcement department, and every few hours, consult the local law enforcement department for the results of law enforcement feedback, if the results are not given, the legal team raised by Makino Technology will send a special person to the local area to "cooperate with the law enforcement department to combat piracy".
To say that it is to cooperate, in fact, is to exert pressure in a different way.
Makino Technology itself is a world-class star enterprise, and it is the largest online platform, with strong publicity capabilities, and in this anti-piracy operation, it also perfectly shows the image of a good citizen and a model enterprise, and these factors have made local law enforcement units have to pay attention to the action against piracy.
After several rounds of arrests, confiscation of pirated audio-visual products, and administrative detention of shopkeepers suspected of selling pirated audio-visual products, almost all of them closed their doors.
This is mainly because, among the various reports received by Makino Technology, the reports of sellers of pirated audio and video products account for more than 90% of all the reported information, and every store that sells pirated CDs has received a large number of complaints from citizens.
The reason is very simple, the production line is a minority, and the piracy manufacturers do 2B (to-business) business, not 2C (to-consumer) business, just like clothing production, facing wholesale agents, not directly facing consumers, so the vast majority of people want to report the production line has no way.
From the proprietress of the barber shop opposite the door, to the master of the ramen shop next door, and the gangsters who have no money to access the Internet at the door of the Internet café, everyone wants to earn the 2,000 yuan that is successfully reported, so everyone is crazy about reporting such shops.
According to the data analysis of Makino Technology, there are more than 260 pieces of information reported by different people at the same time for the same store.
The nuclear strike of Makino Technology caused the entire piracy industry to be in turmoil, and it also caused the entire industry to suffer an unprecedented heavy blow.
Many piracy practitioners hate Makino Technology in their hearts, in their eyes, they are just making a little money, compared with Makino Technology, a company with a valuation of more than 100 billion US dollars, it is comparable to ants, everyone pirates "Crazy Stone", it is equivalent to a group of ants snatching the breadcrumbs that Makino Technology fell to the ground when eating, Makino Technology has to kill all of this, and it is really too inhumane.
Some pirated users were also very dissatisfied with Makino Technology's approach, and for a while, the route to enjoy intellectual property rights cheaply was cut off, not only could they not buy or see the pirated version of "Crazy Stone", but even pirated other films, music tapes and CDs were difficult to buy, and they blamed this "loss" on Makino Technology, and called on many netizens who held the same view on the Internet to spread attacks on Makino Technology.
When these voices were fed back to Li Mu's ears, he did not relax his crackdown on pirates, and second, he did not delete any remarks criticizing Muye Technology on the Internet.
He believes that even if the majority of consumers can't understand themselves now, they will still understand in the next few years, which is the inevitable result of social progress and the enhancement of the legal awareness of the masses.
……
With the escort of the fight against piracy, "Crazy Stone" will remain hot in the next week.
The average weekday box office is more than 65 million, which makes everyone in the entire industry suffer from pink eye.
Just half a day after Saturday, the total box office exceeded the one billion yuan mark, which is an unprecedented box office peak for Chinese films and an excellent confirmation of the commercial potential of Chinese films.
Almost all the media contributed their own front-page headlines to "Crazy Stone", turned on the TV at half past six in the evening, and almost every satellite TV news program was reporting this historic moment, and the subsequent news broadcast, CCTV also listed this news as the main content, and focused on reporting.
CCTV said in the report that "Crazy Stone" represents the huge potential of China's local commercial films and the commercial film market, and believes that it will be a new starting point for Chinese films.
A film represents the potential of the entire industry;
A movie represents a new starting point for the entire Chinese film;
The evaluation given by CCTV is indeed very high, although it is very high, but it is not a killing.
The billion-dollar box office is simply a myth, and any movie that can get this box office result in this era can be directly crowned a god!
"Crazy Stone" has had a great positive impact on the entire industry, with a box office of one billion, cultivating tens of millions of paying audiences for the future Chinese film industry and cultivating their habit of buying tickets to watch movies in cinemas;
At the same time, the billion-dollar box office has also made directors and screenwriters in the industry aware of the explosive growth of the market space in the future, and the increase in the total box office indicates that this pot of rice is expanding, and everyone can eat more and better than before, so this makes them start to gear up and have greater passion to invest in this industry;
In addition, the capital popularity of the film and television industry also skyrocketed instantly, before "Crazy Stone", not many people dared to invest tens of millions to make a movie, because the box office may not reach tens of millions, but "Crazy Stone" showed such a strong box office performance, which turned the film and television industry from a barren loess into an oil field with huge benefits.
Because of the unparalleled ultra-high attendance rate of "Crazy Stone", the theater chain made a lot of money during this time, and for a while, even investing in the theater chain has become a good business in the eyes of physical entrepreneurs, plus Li Mu previously launched the "Screen Fission Plan", which has a strong guarantee and psychological support for people who want to invest in the theater.
In order to celebrate the box office of "Crazy Stone" breaking one billion, Makino Imaging organized an internal celebration banquet in Yanjing, this celebration banquet did not invite any media, except for the executives of Makino Technology, employees of Makino Image, and signed artists and crew members, only Chen Ze, Song Liang and Cai Zhengmao of the CSC club were invited to participate.
The reason why the media and guests were not invited is that there were two celebration banquets prepared, this one was a celebration banquet in the real sense of their own people, and the celebration banquet two days later was an open invitation to media reporters and guests to participate.
However, Li Mu could not attend the second celebration banquet, he and Sequoia's boss Steve Johnson agreed on a party is close at hand, the business plane he rented will take off from Yanjing tomorrow and fly directly to London, with Li Mu accompanied by Li Ziwei, as well as Wang Yuanlong, including three personal bodyguards, in addition to them, there are two guests, that is Anne Hathaway, and her personal assistant.
At the celebration banquet, Ning Hao, as the protagonist, was so excited that he couldn't even speak, from an unknown practitioner to a top director who broke the box office of one billion yuan for the first time in a single film, this step was unsuccessful for decades, and it only took him two years to succeed.
When everyone coaxed him to say something, he didn't hold back his emotions and cried like a middle-aged sling silk whose beloved wife ran away with a good brother.
Li Mu stepped forward as the boss to comfort him, but he hugged Li Mu and cried even more.
Li Mu can understand Ning Hao's mood at the moment, no matter how the society renders success studies, for most people in this world, life is unsatisfactory, eight or nine times out of ten.
Whether you are in the workplace or in any industry or field, as long as you are not the boss, you will have to face a special test of character: can you meet a good boss on the road of your growth?
It's just that good bosses are much rarer than pandas in this society.
Some bosses directly starve their employees and lose weight;
Some bosses have exhausted themselves in order to deduct employees' wages;
How many bosses are really willing to take out the rice in their own pot so that their employees and their families can be fed and well-fed?
Therefore, Ning Hao was extremely fortunate in his heart, glad that he met Li Mu, as the boss, Li Mu was much better than the best boss he imagined, and this movie could reach such a height, mostly because he built such a towering and solid foundation for this movie.
Li Mu patted Ning Hao's shoulder and said jokingly: "Lao Ning, don't be too excited, you just set a new record, but the meaning of the existence of this thing is to be broken." ”
Ning Hao wiped away his tears and said, "Then I hope that my record can be broken as soon as possible, that is the real spring of Chinese films." ”
Li Mu smiled: "Then I think the next one to break the box office record of "Crazy Stone" should be "Flying Tigers". ”
Ning Hao nodded and said: "The box office of "Flying Tigers" in North America alone in the future may reach the order of hundreds of millions of dollars, and I can't imagine how much the global box office can reach." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "The box office of "Flying Tigers" must break the global box office record, even if it is smashed, it must be smashed to this height, because its significance is not how much money it makes, but how many people watch it!"
