The unexpected excavation of a best-selling film from Fengyun Sports can be regarded as a small supplement. First of all, I got the publishing and film and television adaptation rights of this free serialization on the Internet and sold on Amazon for $0.99, although the investment is a little bigger, but I don't think it is a burden on the current Miramax. For the production company, the investment in a film can get 20% of the income without paying a penny, and the rest is divided by the investor. With the support of local tyrants in China and India, if you add successful cases, there will be no shortage of funds for a long time.

"We have a distribution channel in North America, and we have established it in Europe, and now we have distribution in other parts of the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region such as Japan and South Korea. Rob Freman

The distribution of films has developed over a long period of time and has become the superstructure of Hollywood. Establishing a distribution channel in North America is not too difficult for Hollywood bigwigs who have been in the business for many years, and Lionsgate, formerly Summit Entertainment, and Miramax all have this ability. But overseas distribution capabilities are different, not only competing with local distribution companies, but also competing with the Big Six Hollywood. Coupled with the lack of long-term credibility, there are many problems in the selection of partners.

"Japan and South Korea are a good place, but now they are a little aesthetically tired of Hollywood movies, and the most important thing is the Chinese market, and the growth rate of this market will exceed imagination!" Zhou Shi

"But Huaxia's protection of the film market has left us powerless. Rob Freman

Among the world's major film box office markets, the United States and India account for more than 80 percent of the box office, Japan, South Korea, and China account for more than 50 percent, the British and French local box office sellers account for about 40 percent, and the box office of local films in other regions generally does not exceed 20 percent. But a few years later, the box office market size of Huaxia films exceeded 8 billion US dollars, becoming the second largest box office market in the world, even if it only accounts for 10% of the market size, there are 800 million US dollars, if a quarter of the box office is profit, there are also 200 million US dollars, it can also achieve a 10 billion soft sister currency market value of the enterprise, plus the global box office, it is not impossible to become a film and television company with a market value of 10 billion US dollars.

"Let's make it easier and then harder, we have the time, we have the money, and these problems can always be solved. Zhou Shi didn't care about this, although it is difficult for Wall Street to control Hollywood, but that is mainly because the artistic creation itself is uncontrollable, and it is difficult to grasp the hearts of the people even if there are more data predictions at the box office of the movie. However, for the operation of enterprises, the power of capital is unstoppable. This is evidenced by the evolution of the Hollywood Big Six later (Time Warner and Fox were acquired).

Rob Freman also knows that these things are not rushed, he has too many predecessors to fall on this, and the global distribution ability is almost a watershed moment for Hollywood giants, and crossing this line can become the seventh largest Hollywood giant.

Talked about some company things again, if everything goes well, Miramax has no shortage of projects in recent years, the "Twilight" series has not yet ended, "The Hunger Games" has not yet begun, "Human Eradication Project", "Source Code", "Superbody", "The Martian", Zhou Shi even wants Andy Weir to write "Interstellar". Such a tech otaku must be more skilled than a Hollywood screenwriter. And publishing can also be said to be film and television peripherals, so you can always make a lot more money by doing so. As for the Christopher Nolan brothers, if they can be poached, it would be best to let them be in charge of Interstellar, and if they are co-opted by others, it is better to crack down.

The film and television entertainment industry is almost the least profitable of all the industries that Zhou Shi has invested in, but he still puts a lot of energy into it. His purpose was not to make money from the beginning, but to experience various female stars up close, as well as all kinds of girls who wanted to become famous and had film and television dreams. Later, although due to various reasons, I have not really let go of myself until now, but I have my own understanding of this industry. There is no doubt that movies represent the soft power of a country, and the rise of China needs embellishment in this regard. To put it bluntly, it is to let the world know about China, know what kind of country China is, understand China's political decision-making, military strength, humanities and economy, etc., in addition to war, only film, television, literature and sports competitions are the most effective. In terms of public opinion propaganda, he has great influence on the world's largest social network, the world's largest UGC video website, and the world's largest Weibo Twitter, and has the ability to do more. For example, Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem", in addition to winning its domestic film and television game adaptation rights, also won its various overseas copyrights, not that Zhou Shi wants to take advantage of Da Liu, but that he wants to promote Da Liu and his works to the world. In the final analysis, the content manufacturing industries such as film and television culture still rely on geniuses to eat.

After leaving Miramax, Zhou Shi regretted a little, why couldn't he open that mouth? Although Hollywood has a lot of "flesh and bones", with his strength, there are many ways to avoid it. What's more, he is not married now, even if these gossips break out, it will not have much impact. There are so many playboys in Silicon Valley, even if he can't be a person like Howard Hughes, as a billionaire, he shouldn't let his "happy life" be unsettled. This is also to blame Zhou Shi for pretending to be too good, he has never had such a request, and he is also far away from the people in the secretarial team who have ideas about him, so that no one thinks about him in this regard.

"Mr. Zhou, someone is looking for it. Chen Wen handed over a mobile phone

"Hey!" Zhou Shi

"Are you free, I'm ...... in Beverly Hills" Liu Feifei's voice came from the phone, she didn't have Zhou Shi's mobile phone number, only the number of his big housekeeper Chen Wen.

"I'll go ...... when I'm free" Zhou Shi hung up the phone with great interest, ignoring the strange stares of the others. This call came too timely, and it would be miserable if the demand in this area was not strong at a young age. It's a pity that the development of domestic IT companies has delayed the happy life of many program apes!

Walking on the road, Zhou Shi realized that something was wrong, Marvel's first "Captain America" did not have a role in Black Widow, what did she do in the United States?

Liu Feifei is still so beautiful and amazing, standing at the door waiting for Zhou Shi. Did Zhou Shi's original dream of investing in film and television come true?
