Chapter 1082: Various Factors
Disappointed everyone, said that the outbreak, there was no outbreak, I didn't expect the New Year to suddenly become busy in the past few days, I'm sorry, I'll see if I can break out on the weekend.
――――――
"Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is popular at home and abroad, and the local film market has always occupied the first place in the box office list, as stable as Mount Tai, and there is not even a movie that can threaten the box office of "Three Kingdoms".
The gap is really big.
The same is true abroad, originally the "Pacific Decisive Battle" of Dimei Pictures on the side of the United States could still suppress "Three Kingdoms", but this is also a reasonable thing, "Pacific Decisive Battle" is a historical blockbuster of the United States itself.
But it's a pity that Dimei Pictures messed up, a week after its release, both fans and the media lashed out at this deep war history movie, and the word of mouth plummeted, and negative news flew all over the sky, and then the box office performance of this Hollywood blockbuster with high hopes plummeted, and it was quickly surpassed by the Chinese blockbuster "Three Kingdoms", and it was no longer able to shake the position of "Three Kingdoms" at the top of the box office list of rice movies.
At this time, Yang Ming was lying comfortably on the couch in his office, browsing various news with his mobile phone, and after practicing with Li Feifei in the morning, he didn't go home to eat, stayed in the company and had a light meal, and now took advantage of the free time at noon to rest for a while.
The outstanding performance of "Three Kingdoms" at the box office in the United States really surprised Yang Ming, he really didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.
Or that "Pacific Decisive Battle" is too vulnerable.
Originally, in his plan, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to release "Three Kingdoms" in the United States this time, but he did not expect such a successful box office result, in his expectation, as long as it can leave a deep impression on the fans of the United States, it will be enough.
Using Chinese-language films to open up the film market in the United States is not a one-time success.
Yang Ming has long been mentally prepared, as long as the box office results can maintain the huge expenses on film promotion, he will be satisfied.
But he didn't expect that fans in the United States would buy him so much for this blockbuster movie with a pure historical background in China, and now seeing this result, he is really happy.
In the past few days, he has kept in touch with Barber every day, inquired about the box office situation in the United States, and learned every detail.
All these things are combined, and Yang Ming realizes that the success of "Three Kingdoms" is not accidental.
The power of the Chinese government has made "Three Kingdoms" a film of choice for the film cultural exchange between the two countries, so to a large extent, the distribution problem of this film has been solved.
At least in terms of the number of theaters screened, it does not lose much with "Pacific Decisive Battle", and even more than a little, after all, the governments of the two countries have hard and fast rules in this regard, and it is the same for rice films to be screened in China for domestic exchanges.
Otherwise, when the Hollywood predators see that "Three Kingdoms" has such a huge box office potential, they will definitely use some means to block the box office of "Three Kingdoms".
Of course, the official attitude of Huaxia has also made many Hollywood predators feel taboo, if they really do something, unless they don't want their movies to be released in East Asia.
Yang Ming felt that it was precisely because of the Huaxia government's optimism and attention to "Three Kingdoms" that all the obstacles on the bright side were cleared.
Another important reason is that fans of the United States do have a unique love for Chinese culture.
This life is not as good as the previous life, although the confrontation between China and the West is an eternal theme, and will not change because of the difference in the world, but this world Huaxia is undoubtedly one of the most powerful countries on the earth, and the impression of the people of the United States on China must not stay in the memory of riding a bicycle, eating vegetable stalks and leaves, and eyes full of dilapidated buildings.
The strength of Huaxia in this world has made both Europe and the United States have always had a jealous and curious attitude towards Huaxia, both the government and the people.
But compared with the previous life, there is one biggest difference, that is, after the founding of the great man, the implementation of economic reform, after a hundred years of development, China and the world are more and more integrated, the world is more and more inseparable from China, coupled with China's support for tourism, so that more and more foreign people come to China every year.
If there was still a restriction on transportation in the past, in the 80s, Huaxia became the first choice for countless foreign people to travel and vacation.
The majestic Great Wall, the world's largest royal court, the mysterious terracotta warriors, lofty mountains, ice and snow, it can be said that the huge China in this world, from south to north, has an all-weather climate, no matter when you come to China to travel there is a place to play.
In the summer, go to the northern province of China, which used to be the Siberia of Russia, until the Arctic Ocean is the land of China in the present world, and go to the south of China in winter, which is as warm as spring, even if there is a cold snap, you can also go to Luzon, Xinhua, Lion City and other places.
In short, in the eyes of the foreign people, the Chinese people in this world are undoubtedly an ancient, vast, mysterious, and powerful country, which is not inferior to the richness of the West, so that the quality of the people has always stood in the precedent of the world.
The same is true in the previous life, but compared with the previous life, there is more fear and envy in this life, fear of the incomparable strength of Huaxia, and envy of the majesty and health of Huaxia.
It is precisely because of these factors that "Three Kingdoms", a pure Chinese film based on the history of China more than 1,800 years ago, has been sought after by countless foreign fans and people as soon as it was released.
The heart-wrenching battlefield battles, gorgeous and exquisite costumes of the ancients, elegant and mysterious etiquette, etc., are all factors that attract foreign fans, and then through the government and Oriental DreamWorks to jointly carry out multi-faceted and multi-channel publicity and popularization of this history, all foreign fans know that this history is real, everything in the movie is real, not fictional.
The four ancient civilizations that have been sung by countless poets have not been cut off until now, and only China is still inherited.
The various Chinese inheritance cultures shown in "Three Kingdoms" are linked to the aura of ancient civilizations, which makes countless foreign fans fascinated and fascinated by some of these cultures.
700 million meters, this is the box office data of "Three Kingdoms" in the United States for half a month, and I believe that there will be no problem with breaking through 1 billion meters by then.
Yang Ming heard this data from Bobble's mouth, and he was quite surprised in his heart, 700 million rice yuan was exchanged for Chinese yuan, which is 2.1 billion Chinese yuan, and at that time he accidentally blurted out 'can't catch up with the domestic box office', and was caught and ridiculed by Barber.
China's population and China's total economy are the world's first, and the film market in the United States will definitely not be able to catch up with China.
At that time, Yang Ming was sweating profusely when he heard Barber's words, and his emotions were still stuck in his previous life.
However, considering the 1:3 exchange rate between Huayuan and Mi Yuan in today's world, coupled with the strong Huaxia economy, it is reasonable that the Huaxia Film Market is the world's largest box office, but he has been negligent about this before, or even if he knows, he has forgotten it unintentionally.
If we add the entire East Asian film market, there is no doubt that it is comparable to the film market of Europe and the United States combined, and it is no wonder that many Hollywood film companies in this world also want to enter the Chinese film market.
Only when they are recognized by the Chinese film market can their films be distributed to the film markets of East Asian countries.
The longer Yang Ming stays in this world, the clearer he feels about the true context of the current global film market.
The film market is getting bigger and bigger, and the environment and atmosphere of the entertainment and cultural industry are getting better and better, which just provides the best development platform for him, a visitor from another world.
The great man has established a powerful China, and he will create a popular Chinese cultural industry empire in this world.
Just as Yang Ming was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, thinking about the next step in his mind, there was a slight knock at the door of the office.
"Come in. ”
"Mr. Yang!"
Sister Zhu pushed the door and saw Yang Ming's eyes light up, then closed the door, sat down on the single sofa opposite Yang Ming, and said excitedly: "Mr. Yang, there are talents coming to vote, but I don't know if you dare to accept it." ”
"Oh, tell me about it?"
Yang Ming was shocked when he heard this, and immediately sat up straight, asking curiously.
"I was contacted by an acquaintance. Sister Zhu talked about business, and her whole expression couldn't help but become solemn and serious, "I want to meet you through me." ”
"Who wants to see me?" Yang Ming asked while pouring tea, and after pouring the tea, he gently brought it to Sister Zhu.
"Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng!"
Yang Ming said two names from Sister Zhu's mouth that he never thought of, originally he was still guessing which star in the entertainment industry, but he really didn't expect it to be these two people, who made a lot of noise not long ago, and once announced that they would block the director and actress of another movie "Liao Zhai" at the box office of "Three Kingdoms".
Although he doesn't know Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng, he is by no means a stranger, whether it is Mingjing, the director, or Huang Xiaofeng, a superstar-level diva, they are not unknown in the entertainment industry.
And these two are both people of extraordinary strength.
To be honest, Yang Ming really didn't expect that someone who was a competitor before suddenly proposed to join Oriental DreamWorks, and he was really shocked by this change.
However, he thought of something, and asked a little suspiciously: "It seems that Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng are not the same company, right?"
For Xiao Bufan's "Liao Zhai", although he has not watched it, he still knows the information of the crew, Mingjing is in Xiao Bufan's Xiao Film Company, and Huang Xiaofeng is another film company, which Yang Ming still has a little impression in his mind.
Hearing Yang Ming's question, Sister Zhu pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Yang Ming with a hint of smugness and said: "I know that boss, you don't pay much attention to the dynamics of the entertainment industry, although Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng are not husband and wife, they are one in the entertainment industry, it is not a great thing, and they are still women chasing men!"
Although Huang Xiaofeng has a contract with another film company, it is not binding, and under the influence of the star studio that the boss you made, this diva will soon set up her own studio, and the more troublesome is Mingjing, who signed a five-year contract with Xiao's Film Company, and now there are three more years. ”
Yang Ming listened to Sister Zhu's explanation, frowned, nodded, and expressed his understanding, he pondered for a moment, and then asked: "In that case, why did Mingjing suddenly intend to join Oriental DreamWorks? It seems that this does not have a good impact on himself?"
What are you kidding, a director was beaten by a competitor at the box office of the movie, and suddenly turned around and suddenly wanted to jump to his old club and join a competitor, whether it was for Mingjing himself or for Oriental DreamWorks, it was not a good reputation.
Perhaps Oriental DreamWorks will be dubbed a malicious poaching because of this.
Why did Oriental DreamWorks and Baoli Company have a quarrel before, with the status of Oriental DreamWorks at that time not long after its establishment collided with Baoli's giant identity, most of the public opinion in the outside media was in favor of Oriental DreamWorks.
It is because Baoli Company does not do things authentically and maliciously poachs corners, "Meteor Garden" has become popular with several people, except for Yang Ming, the last person was poached by Baoli Company, and this behavior will naturally not leave a good impression.
With lessons from the past, Yang Ming naturally didn't want Oriental DreamWorks to leave a domineering impression on the outside world.
Now that Oriental DreamWorks is in a period of rapid rise, it has touched the interests of countless people, and if there are some unexpected situations because of this kind of thing, for the sake of a talent, it will be worth the loss.
Seeing the slightly worried look in Yang Ming's eyes, Sister Zhu smiled confidently and said mysteriously: "The reason why Mingjing was also forced!
"What the hell is going on?" Yang Ming asked.
""Liao Zhai" failed miserably at the box office, had a very poor reputation, and negative news emerged in endlessly, but that young master Xiao didn't want to bear this consequence, so he was ready to find someone to carry this black pot, then, the director of "Liao Zhai" is the best scapegoat, as far as I know, the negative news that the script disclosed by the media was modified without authorization, and the filming was always intermittent because of a few people is true, but this person is not Mingjing, but the young master Xiao!" Sister Zhu said slowly, as the former manager of the brokerage department of Baoli Company, her connections have always been very wide, and it is naturally very easy to hear these news, and since she has been contacted by the other side, she will definitely tell her some real reasons.
Hearing this, Yang Ming's brows furrowed slightly, picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves floating on it, and kept thinking about the gains and losses in his mind.
Is Oriental DreamWorks short of people?
Lack!
Especially in terms of high-end talents, there is a great shortage of them, after all, Oriental DreamWorks has just been established for less than five years, and its foundation is shallow, and it is too late to cultivate its own talents.
But the lack of people does not mean that Oriental DreamWorks can unscrupulously poach from other film companies.
The directors who have signed contracts with Oriental DreamWorks are basically not newcomers, or some people who have been buried for many years and have no ambition from other film companies, digging these people is harmless for those film companies, but Mingjing is different, he is not an unknown person in the film circle, and his reputation is quite high.
And judging from the previous situation, he is also the only big-name director of Shaw's Film Company.
Digging him up means a complete confrontation with Shaw's films.
Yang Ming has no fear of Xiao, but this does not mean that he can casually offend a film company with a family consortium background for the sake of Mingjing.
However, just as he was frowning and thinking deeply, his cell phone suddenly rang, a call from Barber.
When he answered the phone and heard the news that Barber said, the whole person's face became indifferent and serious, and after a while, he hung up the phone, thought for a while, and said to Sister Zhu: "You come to arrange, I'll meet the other party first." ”
