Chapter 837: Magical Pictures
This year's New Year is relatively early, and the fourth day of February is Chinese New Year's Eve.
At this time, there are not many days left before the New Year, and the joy of the New Year has gradually risen all over the country.
The Journey to the West animation is scheduled to be released worldwide during the Chinese New Year, and the global release schedule and distribution have been arranged, and it is now in the process of being promoted.
The domestic fare, Youxian Qi also fulfilled the promise of Luminous at that time, and the 3D ticket price was downshifted to 2D pricing.
However, such a generous ticket price discount is not a hot topic among domestic netizens or viewers during this time.
Domestic netizens, now they are most concerned about the global release of Journey to the West animation.
Wolf Warrior 2 is known as the global release, but everyone knows what the real situation is, except for Ruiguo, who contributed a little to the box office because of Tacya's relationship, the box office in other regions is negligible, and it is a drop in the bucket compared to the total box office.
And the reason for this situation is that Humen Pictures is only the initiator on the surface, and the actual discerning people know that this is the Hollywood system being exclusive.
Now, the much-talked-about Journey to the West animation will be released globally again, will it face the same situation again, such as the global distribution being blocked, such as the scheduling rate or something?
Could it be that we will fight the world with one country again?
It's impossible, Wolf Warrior 2 occupies the right time and place, and with the huge cohesion of the Chinese people and the whole people watching the movie, it has created this miraculous success.
However, if you do it again, I'm afraid it won't work, this time, there is no so-called national war, so-called righteousness, and so-called patriotic feelings in it, and our domestic audience can't afford to toss like this.
Of course, the luminous and fairy, I didn't want to do this again, last time I was forced to do it, there was no way, I can't do it all the time, right?
Faced with the concerns of enthusiastic viewers and netizens, Youxian Qi responded with an announcement.
Youxian Qi said that it has reached a cooperation with Hollywood Magical Pictures, and the Journey to the West animated movie will be released by Magical Pictures worldwide.
Magical Pictures is also a very powerful film and television company in Hollywood, compared with Nanopie, Humen Pictures, and Diman, which are Hollywood giants, they are slightly inferior, but Magical Pictures also has a lot of weight in Hollywood and belongs to first-class film and television companies.
Fantastic Pictures was very brilliant ten years ago, when there were several blockbusters that hit and applauded in a row, and almost every year there were the top 20 movies at the global box office, and there was a faint trend of becoming a giant company, but the good times did not last long, and William, the founder of Magical Pictures, died of a heart attack, and then the glory of Magical Pictures began to gradually dim, becoming more and more bleak year by year, and now, there is even a trend of breaking away from the ranks of Hollywood's first-class film and television companies.
However, as the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and even if it is getting lonely, the strength of Magic Pictures should not be underestimated, and as a former quasi-giant Hollywood film and television company, Artifact Pictures has a well-established and well-established global distribution channel in its hands.
Magical Pictures, many domestic audiences know that the domestic public also recognizes its distribution strength, but can they help Youxian Qi release the Journey to the West animation well?
"It's not going to be another pit, is it?"
"I think there's something wrong with that. ”
"Hollywood xenophobia, I saw it last time Wolf Warrior 2, Humen Pictures is just an introduction, he does not have the support of the Hollywood system behind him, and it is impossible for Wolf Warrior 2 to be suppressed so seriously on a global scale. ”
"I'm also worried about this, it's not good, it's good now, and when it comes to release, the film schedule is extremely low. ”
Netizens are very worried that the unfair treatment encountered by Wolf Warrior 2 when it was released worldwide is still vivid, as if it happened yesterday.
The worries of netizens are also the worries of Yeguang and Jiang Fengxian.
After the obstruction of the global distribution of Wolf Warrior 2, Yeguang and Jiang Fengxian deeply realized that China is really powerless in global distribution.
Moreover, I can't believe the managed distribution company, at that time, there was a fairy to find the British Hongtuo Pictures distribution, this company is not in the Hollywood system, the channel is not as good as the Hollywood company, but it is not small, but the result is also crushed by the Hollywood system, pressed on the ground friction, global distribution and no distribution is not much different.
Therefore, Yeguang and Jiang Fengxian understand that if they want to have a successful global distribution and ensure a smooth distribution and box office scheduling rate, then they can only believe in themselves.
Chinese people think that this time Magical Pictures helped Youxian release Journey to the West animation for global release, which is the same as the original model, but the two companies have reached a cooperation, you give me money, but it is not.
Magical Pictures, this time to release the Journey to the West animated film, in fact, is releasing its own movie.
Because, now Magic Pictures has a 30% stake in Xianqi and is the largest shareholder of Magic Pictures.
In fact, Magic Pictures has completely become a Hollywood film and television company with Chinese capital.
In addition to the 30% shares held by Youxian Qi, the other 70% shares of Magic Pictures are scattered in more than 20 large and small film and television companies in China.
Magical Pictures was acquired, a joint venture by more than 20 Chinese film and television companies, and Youxian Qi was the lead company in this acquisition.
The obstruction of the global distribution of Wolf Warrior 2 is also a loud alarm for domestic film and television production companies.
Everyone didn't feel it before, because there are really not many movies released in China and released globally, and there have been no problems with global distribution, just find a Hollywood or other company to distribute it, it's very simple.
As for how your overseas box office is, it depends on whether your work is crooked or not, whether you accept it or not, in short, there is no problem with distribution.
However, the release of Wolf Warrior 2 was blocked, which made them realize that we didn't have any initiative in global distribution, as if, when people were happy or didn't look at you, you had no problem distributing it at all, as long as you gave money, you could distribute it how it should be released, anyway, he didn't look down on your movie, and he didn't think you were any threat.
But once people think you're a threat, or if they don't like you, then when you want to release it globally, I'm sorry, no. In short, I have the final say in global distribution, and if I say that I don't send it, I won't send it, even if you send it, I can kill your film scheduling rate. Well, that's how domineering it is.
No one wants to pin their fate on someone else.
Domestic film and television production companies don't want to.
Being prepared for danger in times of peace is a must-have for every qualified leader.
It is true that Wolf Warrior 2 is a special case, and now in China, in addition to being immortal, no one is really targeted by Hollywood, but who can guarantee that they will not be targeted in the future, who can guarantee that they will not be able to make excellent works that are popular around the world in the future? Who doesn't want to be able to show their ambitions in the global film market?
So, under the leadership of Youxian Qi and Jiang Fengxian, Youxian Qi reached a consensus with more than 20 film and television production companies across the country and reached an agreement. More than 20 film and television production companies, including Youxian Qi, acquired the declining Magical Pictures for $3.5 billion.
In terms of the business of Magic Pictures, in fact, everyone doesn't care so much, and the more than 20 domestic film and television production companies that acquired Magic Pictures don't have much intention of entering the Hollywood market by acquiring Magic Pictures.
The tone is that it is the acquisition of Magic Pictures, but rather, it is the acquisition of a stable, excellent and perfect channel for the global distribution and release of films.
