Chapter 2 "Running Man" (3rd Update)

Many people are worried that the act of burning after reading will make the theater close...

Although he was burned after reading, he said:

"We love movies, but we also love the following: giving access to movies for people in small towns who can't afford to pay for tickets and live without cinemas;

Let anyone, anywhere, see the new film at the same time;

Give filmmakers more ways to share art. These are not independent!"

Traditional forces are still worried, the most important thing is that the paying subscribers of many cable TV stations are gradually decreasing, and advertising revenue is also decreasing, at the same time, the number of paid members who burn after reading has reached 130 million, and advertising revenue has reached 8 billion US dollars...

Many people can't understand Zhang Junsheng's approach, and he also has a theater in his hand!

Until the beginning of this year, the speaker who burned after reading announced that about 80 original films will be released every year, and in addition to the 50 films released in theaters, 30 original works will only be launched on their own video platforms.

"The effect of video platform playback is still not as good as that of theaters, 3D movies, big investment, big productions can only experience that feeling in theaters!"

However, it didn't work!

In December last year, Disney President Robert Iger publicly announced that Disney would terminate its cooperation agreement with Burn After Reading, and would launch its own streaming service in 2019, no longer providing new content to Burn After Reading...

Although Disney has six percent of the shares that will be burned after reading...

In the early days of the development of Instant Incineration, Hollywood and Instant Incineration were still a close partnership, and at that time, Instant Incineration became an online broadcasting platform for Hollywood studios' works, buying film rights from them at high prices, and becoming the main source of film copyright income after theatrical screenings.

However, with the increase in the number and investment in self-made movies that are burned after reading, Hollywood is not only faced with the snatching of resources for well-known directors and creators, but more importantly, the more diverse and rich film types provided by original movies after reading and burning after reading, which have taken away part of the audience and the box office.

Under this development trend, the traditional Hollywood film companies that have passively "cheese" have taken a step to resist.

The same goes for Warner Bros.!

It has also launched its own streaming business, and at the same time, Warner has recovered a number of film and television content rights, such as the old series "Friends", "ER"...

For this, the price of burning after reading is close to 300 million US dollars!

Side note: "Friends" is still the most popular comedy in the United States, and even though it has been replayed more than 100 times, it still has 8 million viewers...

The six leading actors signed a follow-up sharing agreement with "Friends", and everyone can reap nearly $20 million from the copyright of "Friends" every year!

This is largely due to Ross's actor David Shumon, who said 'either we get a raise or the six of us leave!'

and Courteney Cox, who plays Monica, who took the initiative to take a pay cut...

A small team of six people asks everyone to be paid the same salary, so that they can enjoy the success of this show together!

He was turned out to be right!

This is also the reason why in the final season, each of the six actors was paid as much as $1 million!

even got the copyright share of the TV series for the next twenty years!

Back to the topic.

In the past, in order to ensure the box office revenue of movies, the North American film market set a long theatrical window (up to a few months to half a year), but after the entry of streaming media, the window period of some films was shortened to a month or a few weeks, and even the release cooperation with the filmmakers was often skipped and directly negotiated with the filmmaker.

But streaming media is more than just one that burns after reading!

Amazon and Apple are starting to get in.

The situation is already clear, no matter how the theater side chooses to protest and boycott, it seems a little "insignificant" before the streaming offensive...

In the face of the impact of streaming media, the six Hollywood majors also stood on the opposite side of the theater on the issue of the window period in order to make their films harvest audiences as soon as streaming movies.

Zhang Junsheng doesn't care, he has less than 60 theaters in North America, and even if it is vacant, he won't lose much money!

Wanda was in pain, and AMC Cinemas acquired its American rival Carmack Cinemas for $1.1 billion, becoming the largest cinema chain in the United States, and then began to lose money...

According to the degree of Lao Wang's death, it is estimated that in a few years, the AMC cinema chain will be bought back by the local consortium of the United States at half price...

Comcast took the shares of Disney and Warner Bros. after the exit and became the second shareholder of the burn after reading.

The works of the pinnacle will also be handed over to be burned immediately after reading...

……

At the beginning of June, Suzhou was hot enough, even in the afternoon, I didn't feel much cool, crowded in the filming site of "The Wandering Earth", and the seven members of "Running Man" visited the "space station", "dungeon", "engine", "minecart" under the leadership of Di Li Hot Bar...

Deng Chao, who was standing in the space capsule, was dumbfounded: "... We built it ourselves?"

Di Lire Bar looked proud: "Yes, it lasted five years!"

“… Wow, that's too..."

"It's amazing, isn't it? Last year's "Gravity" was also filmed here!"

The director of "Running Man" couldn't help but ask: "... How much did it cost?"

"The total cost is close to 1.6 billion yuan, and these can be recycled, as long as the appearance is changed slightly!"

Guo Fan walked in, and he was followed by Zhang Junsheng...

"Director Guo..."

"Dong Zhang!"

The film crew was thrilled...

Although Zhang Junsheng has been a little unprofessional in the past three years, he still made a work like "Gravity" that rewrites the history of Chinese science fiction films!

The female number one in "Gravity" is Xu Yan, and the second male number is Matthew McConaughey, China won a box office result of 2.6 billion yuan, a North American box office of 80 million US dollars, and a global box office of more than 600 million US dollars!

North America failed to sell well, mainly because Zhang Junsheng modified the plot to the International Space Station, Xu Yan's identity is Chinese, and half of the movie is Chinese communication...

The staff put on a headset for Zhang Junsheng, and the director announced: "The theme of this issue is 'Rebel Army VS The Wandering Earth'... There are two rebels hidden among the nine of you, and the rebels' mission is to kill the other seven..."

"Nine directors, there are only eight of us?"

“… There is another one, actor Wu Jing, everyone applauds and welcomes!"

Wu Jing walked over with a smile and said a crit: "I just received an invitation, and I was shocked when I heard that I starred in a variety show with director Zhang Junsheng!"

Zhang Junsheng: "... Isn't this to promote "The Wandering Earth", in five years, with an investment of 2.5 billion yuan, it's time to meet soon, of course I'm nervous..."

"The Wandering Earth?"

"When will it be released?"

Yuan Hong next to him answered: "June 24th!"

"How many June?"

Di Lire replied: "Twenty-four!"

"Twenties?"

"Twenty-four!"

Zhang Junsheng answered: "Okay, the recording is over, I can go!"

“… Huh?"

The director team took over the control: "Okay, let's enter a link immediately,"
