In 2014, more than ten years have passed since the commercialization of the domestic film market, even though there are hits like "Avatar" and the 3D modified version of "Titanic", which has exploded at the box office, imported films have always been rubbed on the ground by domestic blockbusters.

For more than ten years, from the two popular schedules of summer and Chinese New Year, to the National Day and Spring Festival, domestic films have always overwhelmed imported films.

That is, in May and June, at the beginning of the North American summer vacation, Hollywood blockbusters can sweep away a number of domestic films.

Even if there is no blockbuster release in May or June, there will occasionally be domestic movies that surpass Hollywood blockbusters.

However, in recent years, Hollywood movies have gradually caught up.

Although it is far worse than domestic movies in billion-level blockbusters, at the level of less than one billion, Hollywood blockbusters can already compete with domestic films.

A series of superhero movies and blockbuster series have set new series records, and "X-Men", which was released last month, won more than 700 million at the box office.

Now, "Transformers 4" has broken the box office records of the first day and a single day in China, with 400 million in two days and 600 million in three days, although it was only released for three days in the first weekend, the data of more than 600 million still refreshed the box office record.

This is also the second time since the beginning of the new century that Hollywood blockbusters have exploded.

The achievement of 600 million in three days made the entire film industry start to get excited.

This data is very likely to hit 2 billion, and it is expected to refresh the box office record in film history created by Tang An.

"Transformers 3" is 400 million in four days, almost 300 million in three days, and "Transformers 4" has directly doubled, and it is very likely that the total box office will double.

Although this film has nothing to do with other people, it is a good thing for major companies to have someone and a movie to break Tang An's record.

It's been ten years, and Feng Xiaogang was able to compete with Tang An in the first five years, but in the next five years, no one else could shake Tang An's status.

Tang An is like an invisible mountain, pressing on all the film companies and directors, and they are all out of breath.

The people who tried to overturn this mountain, including the fifth generation of famous directors and the new generation of directors, without exception, were swept into the garbage heap by Tang An.

After so many years, the vast majority of people seem to have gotten used to it, and they can't afford to have the confidence to challenge Tang An.

But now, "King Kong 4" has exploded at the box office, with the possibility of hitting two billion, and it is the most promising movie to break Tang An's monopoly in so many years.

It can be said that almost everyone hopes that Tang An will lose to "Transformers 4" this year.

Once Tang An's myth of invincibility is shattered, no matter who breaks it, it will at least prove that Tang An is not invincible.

With the first time, there is a second and third time, and this time "Transformers 4" can do it, so next time, it will not be possible to change someone else.

Such a major event that changed the pattern of the film industry, all the big companies heard about it.

......

Huayi Brothers Group.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Ye Xuan, vice president of the group and CEO of Kyushu Distribution, met in the chairman's office.

"Contact the Magic Shadow Group and the West Sichuan Film Group, let's help the field this time!"

Wang Zhongjun said unusually resolutely.

After so many years, he finally had the opportunity to pull Tang An down, and Wang Zhongjun made a decision without much thought.

Huayi cooperated with Magic Shadow Group and Sichuan West Film Group to establish Kyushu Distribution, and the two of them have two large cinema chains, United Cinema Line and Pacific Cinema Line, as well as small cinema chains such as Daguang.

Although it is not as good as the two major alliances of the four seas and five continents, it is not low.

To help "Transformers 4" snipe Tang An, it is very necessary for both public and private.

Ye Yan nodded, "No problem, I will communicate on both sides." ”

However, Wang Zhonglei had some concerns, "Let's cooperate with Tang An and a sequel to "Shocking Demon Thieves", will this be..."

Wang Zhongjun shook his head, "You don't have to be too obvious, just be a little biased towards "Transformers 4" in the film schedule at that time, I guess other people will also have some actions, look at the situation of "Mysterious Superstar" in the early stage, if the performance is not very good, then we will talk about it." ”

At present, there is no great certainty, and it is impossible for Wang Zhongjun to do his best to suppress it at the cost of completely tearing his face with Han Tang.

Wait for the release of "Mysterious Superstar" to see the situation, once there is an obvious decline, then Wang Zhongjun will go all out.

Wang Zhongjun's guess is similar, several major companies compete and cooperate with each other, but none of them have completely torn their faces.

are all waiting and seeing, and when the hope is greater, they will make further moves.

If "Mystery Superstar" is a big hit as soon as it is released, and the word of mouth is also bursting, then everyone should rest.

In fact, if several major companies work together and pay a sufficient price, with the data of "Transformers 4", there is a great certainty that "Mystery Superstar" will be suppressed.

But this is simply impossible, everyone knows what the hell is thinking in their hearts, don't be cheated when the time comes, and put yourself in it.

Like Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian, who have always had a good relationship with Tang An, also made the same calculations.

Prepare first, and if you are really sure, they will definitely participate.

Fratricide has been common since ancient times, not to mention that Tang An and them have not yet reached the point of being brothers.

If a family is dominant, there will be countless people coveting it behind it, and once it shows its decline, peers from all directions will rush up and bite it hard.

Guangxian and Bernard still have such thoughts, not to mention the civet who is the opposite in itself.

Ah, the marketing department is already preparing negative marketing for "Mystery Superstar".

Even if it will cost a lot of money, but for Ah Li, pulling Tang An off the altar and spending some money is nothing at all.

At the high-level meeting, Fan Luyuan's face was serious.

"Fare evasion, all the media under the group are ready, fighting this battle is related to the future pattern of the industry, and changing the situation of Hantang Media's dominance!"

Although it is only a movie by Tang An, the investment is not very high, no matter how you do it, it can be 100% profitable.

But for Tang An, as long as he doesn't win the summer championship, it will be an absolute failure.

Tang An is the core of Hantang Media, once he "fails" this time, coupled with other companies, a series of chain introspections cannot shake the foundation of Hantang Media, but it is enough to change the situation of Hantang Media's dominance.

It is impossible for several other companies to make rash moves before they see the benefits, but Fan Luyuan does not have this concern, they and Han Tang can be said to have torn half of their faces.

No matter how big the cost is, as long as there is an effect in the early stage, he believes that Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian will definitely make a move.

When the time comes, several large companies, plus China Film Co., Ltd., such a huge force, even Hantang Media will be difficult to resist easily.

......

China Film Co., Ltd., as a direct opponent of Han and Tang, Kangpei is also fully prepared.

After the failure of the Spring Festival file before, Campey wanted to rely on "Transformers 4" to turn over, after all, the third part has broken one billion.

However, even he didn't expect that "Transformers 4" would be able to explode at the box office of 600 million in three days.

A huge surprise, and at the same time, Campex also saw the hope of defeating Tang An head-on.

can really see it, and the possibility is close at hand, a movie with a high probability of breaking 2 billion is qualified enough to touch Tang An.

In the chairman's office, Assistant Campex knocked on the door and came in.

"Kang Dong, Wanda, Tengxun, Huayi, Berna, Guangxian... The major companies seem to have made some small moves recently, Ah Tanuki has the biggest movement, all its media have moved, the ticket evasion ticket has also been withdrawn from the promotion of "Mystery Superstar", and even the ticket supplement has been reduced, and several major water army companies in the industry have all begun to gather people. ”

Summer file, the most important schedule in China, at this time of year, most of the entire entertainment industry has to move, and it is also closely watched by major companies.

Kang Pei smiled, "Waiting to fall into the well, no one wants to take risks, they want to wait for the result between us and Han Tang, but they can't wait to do it first." ”

The assistant said, "Dong Kang, with so many companies working together this time, Hantang will definitely lose." ”

Competh shook his head, "It's not that simple, they won't make any moves before the release of "Mystery Superstar", everything depends on the box office and word-of-mouth in the first two days, and if there are benefits, they are rushing to the front, seeing that the situation is not good, one is faster than the other." ”

Human nature is like this, Campeh couldn't know it better.

"Don't care about others first, let's do our own thing first and stabilize the box office trend. ”

Now the decisive factor is the pre-box office of "Mystery Superstar", and at this time, even if China Film does negative marketing, it will not have much effect.

After all, Tang An's popularity and reputation accumulated in the past ten years are not so easy to destroy.

But as long as the reputation is average, they can't help but shoot.

A director who has set a new record and dominated the box office record for several years in a row is something that no one wants to see, unless it is his own people.

"By the way, Kang Dong, Jiao Dong and Han Dong seem to be planning a project, a big production. The assistant remembered something again and reported.

"What project?"

"I don't know, it seems that the group bought the copyright of something two years ago. ”

Kang Pei waved his hand, "Don't worry about it for now, just stare at it, and focus on the summer file first." ”

After all, China Film is the controlling parent company of China Film Co., Ltd., and it stands to reason that Jiaofenol is still Compe's boss.

However, China Film set aside China Film shares and developed the project separately, and the intention is obvious.

However, Compex doesn't have time to take care of it now, and the battle of the summer file is the key.

......

At this time, the entire film industry has a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come, and even people who are not at the top of the industry feel that something is wrong.

And the center of the storm, Tang An also knows what is happening at the moment.

All large-scale actions have traces to follow, and it is basically difficult to hide them.

In the office, Tang An dialed the phone in the secretary's office.

"Zhou Li, notify the middle-level and above supervisors of various departments of the group to hold a meeting, Hantang Films, Nuomi Films, Tudou Group, Tudou Pictures, Hantang Literature... and the general managers of its major subsidiaries, and held a video conference after the conference. ”

Hanging up the phone, Tang An shook his head.

"Mu Xiu Yulin, this is like Li Yunlong fighting Ping'an County, he has become a villain, Li Yunlong has Chu Gangchang, Ding Baishou, Kong Guozhu, and Zhongying also has several major companies to help, although this side will not come out to help until the fight starts, and it will only come out to help, otherwise no one will make a move, and it is still unknown whether it can be beaten. ”

As for several major companies wanting to partner against themselves, Tang An didn't feel angry, for the sake of interests, let alone dealing with themselves, as long as the benefits are enough, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei can fight.
