Chapter 425: Issuing the big guy Jiang Zhiqiang
The distribution of Xiangjiang is in charge of Jiang Zhiqiang, this is also an old friend, "Hero" He is an investor, in the acre of three points of land in Xiangjiang, he may not be as strong as Xiang Huaqiang and other bigwigs, but in the whole world, it can be said that he is one of the most influential independent publishers in Asia, and even one of them can be removed at present.
This low-key person, he single-handedly created the blockbuster era of Chinese films, knows the eight major Hollywood film companies well, and achieved the first Chinese in overseas distribution, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" because of his great success, and "Hero" was created by him, which shows the old and spicy vision of his vision.
Zhou Bai really admires Jiang Zhiqiang, this low-key, pragmatic producer, has an extremely accurate grasp of the film market, and the way he promotes the movie is really powerful, always grasping the characteristics of the movie, not hype, not selling miserably, and ensuring that it is effective enough.
"This week, we are left with our film to compete with "Long Wei 2003", they were originally scheduled to be released on the 21st, but they didn't expect to meet us in advance, and we won the championship, I guess this will be regretted. Jiang Zhiqiang said with a hint of schadenfreude that during this time, in order to compete for the film, he could be said to be begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and he was angry.
To be honest, Zhou Bai is not very satisfied with the scheduling of "My Sassy Girlfriend", but he also knows that it is no wonder that Jiang Zhiqiang, after all, the resistance of the Xiangjiang market to mainland movies can be felt.
"They don't look at the quality but only where it is produced, this kind of arrogant behavior will be taught a lesson sooner or later, but they said that they would rather have bad Hollywood movies than mainland movies, these people have forgotten their ancestors, and when feng shui turns in the future, they don't know what kind of mood they should have. Zhou Bai said with a sneer.
This sentence was heard by Zhou Bai, and the staff who worked on the Xiangjiang side were very angry when they heard this, and they brushed their sleeves away at that time, and when they reported to Zhou Bai afterwards, Zhou Bai also praised him, such a bad behavior must not be compromised.
Because of this reason, Zhou Bai's impression of the Xiangjiang film industry is even worse, these people really regard themselves as uncles, naively thinking that Xiangjiang is still the Oriental Hollywood, and they don't look at the fact that even Hong Kong films in the Asian market are suppressed by Hollywood films, and the current situation is that the Xiangjiang market alone is no longer enough to feed the many film companies in Xiangjiang.
The collapse of Xiangjiang's film companies one after another is proof of this, back then, they randomly pulled a team to make a movie, but they could recover the funds before they made it, and they could earn back the money just by selling the film, and the copyright was sold all over the world, but now there is no such good thing, most of them are lost.
Of course, even if the Xiangjiang movie has begun to decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the rich old money they have accumulated in the past twenty or thirty years is enough for the Xiangjiang movie to last, but it is half-dead, and when the mainland movie comes together, it will be difficult for the Xiangjiang movie to turn over.
"A few years ago, this was the Oriental Hollywood, and it can even be called the center of world cinema, and it is normal for them to be arrogant, plus there are many people who have been smuggled from the mainland before, and their views on the mainland side are more extreme, and the person who said this sentence I also ended the cooperation with him, this way of doing things is not to do business but to be vindictive, it is ridiculous. Jiang Zhiqiang said with a bitter smile, some people are obviously Chinese, but they spare no effort to suppress their motherland, just like Zhou Bai commented, forgetting their ancestors.
"Let them go, in a few years, when there will be more cooperation between Xiangjiang and the mainland, the mainland market will become the center, and we won't bring this kind of play anyway." Zhou Bai said calmly, there is nothing to say about that kind of person.
"Yes, now that the door to cooperation has been opened, it is inevitable for many directors to go north to make films, the market in Xiangjiang is too small, and the business of the cinema chain will only become more and more difficult, and the market will shrink for sure. Jiang Zhiqiang is a little sad, after all, he is also a Xiangjiang filmmaker, in the face of this declining trend, he also feels good for Xiangjiang films, but he is also in the cinema business, and he knows that the upcoming trend is inevitable.
It can be said that there is only one final outcome of Xiangjiang films, that is, all outstanding Xiangjiang filmmakers are integrated into the mainland market and become part of mainland films.
To put it bluntly, whoever is rich is the uncle, where the capital is, where the market is, my market is bigger than yours, there are more people than you, and my pocket is richer than you, which is equal to the same gap between RMB players and ordinary players, and there is no comparison.
"It's a pity, if there were more films scheduled at the beginning, our box office this week would definitely be able to break through the 10 million level, and now looking at the final landing point, it is estimated that there will be 20 million, and the potential of this movie has not been exhausted. Jiang Zhiqiang said regretfully.
"I am already very satisfied with the box office of more than 20 million, and the important box office still depends on the two countries of South Korea and Japan, as long as the box office of these two countries is hot, then it doesn't matter if the box office in other places is poor. Zhou Bai waved his hand and said, he had already expected that the box office here would not be too good, after all, it would be in vain if the movie was popular and the schedule couldn't keep up.
Marketing is a matter of popularity, sometimes it is not the quality of the movie that can represent everything, it is difficult to transform the popularity into real box office results after the popularity has passed, and even if the film schedule is increased next week, it will not increase much, so Zhou Bai does not have much hope.
Originally, there was a Wanwan in several major box offices in Asia, but because "My Sassy Girlfriend" is a mainland movie, there are only ten places a year on Wanwan, Zhou Bai is really too lazy to spend any more effort, in the past, "Fifty Times of First Love" Wanwan was released because the producer was not very famous, and now he is looking for various reasons to block it, and the hostility towards the mainland is even worse.
That's right, we basically don't have any restrictions on the amount of movies in Wanwan, but they do have all kinds of restrictions on us, only giving ten places a year, but they turn around and open the door to Hollywood, in the face of this situation, Zhou Bai said in his heart that it is absolutely impossible not to be angry.
Jiang Zhiqiang also couldn't break into the Wanwan market, the more popular the movie, the more difficult it was to enter the Wanwan market, and he didn't have any hope for this, so he simply ignored it.
"It will be released ten days later, and the domestic box office is successful, which is very beneficial to the promotion of the movie, plus our early marketing work is very good, the box office will not be bad, but I think you will take the actors on a trip to South Korea?" Jiang Zhiqiang said.
Jiang Zhiqiang has a good relationship with Zhou Bai, and he also knows about Yuan Yan's injury, so he is not too sure that he can convince Zhou Bai.
