Legendary Pictures has unwittingly become a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.

Well, it's still an exaggeration to say that, but Legendary Pictures directly gave birth to three series under Lin Xiao's hands, and they were all very successful.

In terms of TV series, on the side of Legendary Pictures, Lin Xiao also directly included "Friends" in Legendary Pictures, although "Friends" also relied on Legendary Pictures before, but at most it was a one-handed one.

After all, Lin Xiao didn't mean to create obstacles for himself, so although the Dick Group was very angry before, there was nothing he could do.

Minghu Pictures' branch in North America is called Tomorrow Pictures, which is of course not comparable to Legendary Pictures at present, Tomorrow Pictures is a solitary film company on the verge of bankruptcy acquired by Gu Xi, and there are not 10,000 such companies in North America.

Many of them are shell companies without production capabilities, in fact, many Hollywood stars have a lot of shell companies in their hands that are used to participate in investment and participate in sharing, of course, mainly to avoid taxes.

Similarly, Tomorrow Pictures has no distribution channels, if in the early years, the distribution channels on the Hollywood side could still be obtained by companies other than the giants, then in recent years, as the giants have been merged into the media group, the control of distribution channels has become more and more powerful.

Of course, it's not that you can't develop your own distribution channels, but it's really hard to start from scratch.

Moreover, this distribution channel does not only refer to the theatrical distribution of the film, but also refers to various aspects, such as publicity platform resources and so on.

Of course, because of the Internet era and the mobile Internet era, it is impossible for media giants to control all channels, but for ordinary small companies, it is still difficult to move the channels they rely on to monopolize.

Therefore, Lin Xiao thought about letting Legendary Pictures set up its own distribution channels, but it was limited to the theatrical distribution of the film, but the effect was not very good, on the one hand, it took too much energy and material resources to set up from scratch, and it took a long time.

Although Legendary Pictures has also recruited talents in distribution to slowly expand its distribution channels, the effect is not obvious, and so far, Legendary Pictures still does not have the ability to independently distribute a movie.

On the other hand, the biggest and biggest background of Hollywood giants is not only the monopoly of distribution channels, but the film library!

Like Universal, don't look at the past few years, Universal doesn't seem to have any too amazing performance, but it relies on those film libraries every year, and the profits from all aspects are hundreds of millions.

And that's something that a lot of other companies have a hard time imagining.

The biggest problem with the solo film company is that the tolerance for risk is too poor, such as Universal Dick and other film and television giants, they have messed up one or two big productions and lost tens of millions of dollars, which is not at all painful, but the solo film company, as long as it loses one, it will be completely ruined.

In a maturing market, a lot of things are already fixed, and it's too hard to break them.

From the initial era of electricity to the Internet era, in the initial stage, countless Internet companies with unlimited potential were born, but today, as the major Internet giants began to land on the beach, gradually those companies that were at the beginning had already collapsed and were merged.

Although there are occasionally one or two potential companies, it is difficult to avoid being suppressed by giants, swallowed up, and so on.

In terms of the film and television industry, in fact, it is similar, North America has not had too significant growth in the movie box office for several years, and there is even a time of decline.

This also means that the market has stabilized and matured, and it is becoming more and more difficult to break the inherent situation of this market.

This is also why the film giants in North America have turned their attention to overseas and began to vigorously expand their overseas business, because although the North American market has been stable and mature, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped in the overseas market.

For example, in China, a country with a large population, the scale of the film industry has gradually begun to rise, and even began to appear, and China's movie box sales have gradually begun to catch up with Hollywood.

For example, in the domestic market, a Chinese film can even get a box office of nearly seven or eight billion US dollars, but in the North American market, it is almost difficult.

But the Chinese market is not a completely open market, just like the Hollywood giants in North America will not want others to touch their cake, and similarly, the giants such as Lingxiao Pavilion in China will not allow other foreign film companies to touch their cake.

Of course, this is a big picture, but in fact, local cooperation is still the general trend.

For example, Tianmeng will invest in Hollywood movies, and will directly invite Hollywood directors to make films, and it is also a big production, such as Ling Xiao Pavilion found another way to establish a legendary film industry in Hollywood.

For example, Minghu Pictures also officially followed in the footsteps of Lin Xiao and began to try in Hollywood.

"Sleepless in Seattle" is an experimental work.

Sometimes, however, a lot of things are really coincidental.

The Dragon Teng system of Lingxiao Pavilion and several film giants, "Three Kingdoms Series" can be said to be very successful, of course, the success here refers to the scope of Asia, and it is not enough to watch in North America.

Subsequently, Tianmeng launched three major projects with a total of 2 billion US dollars.

After a lapse of 1 year, Tianmeng's three major projects, among which "Knights and Magic", adapted from the world's first stand-alone game, have officially been announced!

Yes, it's a finish, not a finish, that is, "Knights and Magic" has been completely produced and can be released at any time.

Normally, a super production like "Knights and Magic" is based on a popular IP, and "Knights and Magic", which claims to have hundreds of millions of players around the world, should choose a popular schedule to be released, but as a result, Tianmeng's side did the opposite.

The promotion of "Knights and Magic" unfolded in a huge way, and the time set for the file happened to collide with "Sleepless in Seattle".

Tianmeng even shouted the slogan, and wanted to use "Knights and Magic" to create a new popular schedule!

did not choose the summer file, nor did he choose the Chinese New Year file, but chose the May schedule.

In May, although this schedule cannot be said to be an unpopular schedule, it is definitely not a popular schedule.

And "Knights and Magic" is released simultaneously worldwide.

In contrast, "Sleepless in Seattle" also chose this schedule, but the starting point of the two is completely different.
