Chapter 1083: Joining forces
The three giants of Hollywood, Emperor Pictures, Pan American Entertainment, Leqimei Film and Huaxia Film, Zhonghuang Entertainment, Shengli Film Company, and Xiao's Consortium, which has strong financial strength in China, suddenly appeared in the United States for a while, and jointly announced that they would jointly set up a global film online sales platform: Timely Film.
Timely films are divided into three major departments, United States, China, and Europe.
It's just that because Europe is too scattered because of the dispersion of countries, it is difficult to form branches for a while, but there will definitely be branches in the future.
The three major divisions are controlled by several local companies, and they will not interfere with each other's operations, and it is enough to maintain a unified pace with the outside world.
When the six major companies joined forces to hold a grand celebration ceremony and set up three major branches around the world, the news came out, causing a shock to the global entertainment industry, and countless people were intimidated by the actions of these six major film companies.
Immediately, both media companies and the film industry became excited, watching the development of the situation with a good show.
Because everyone knows who the six major companies are going to work for.
Cat's Eye Movie!
Yang Ming got a timely film from the six major companies to form a timely film from Barber, which was one day earlier than the press conference of the six major companies.
Hearing this news, he was also taken aback in his heart, although he had been prepared for the appearance of a platform similar to Maoyan Movie, but when it came to this moment, he was still taken aback by the big moves of the six major companies.
Dimei, Pan America, Le Qimei, the three Hollywood movie giants, Zhonghuang Entertainment, Shengli Film, the two Chinese film giants, coupled with the influence of the Xiao consortium in China, it can be said that the moment the film was born, it was a giant in the distribution of online movies.
If you want money, you have money, and you want people.
Yang Ming is sure that even if there are similar online movie ticket sales platforms in the future, there is basically no hope for development.
However, although he was very surprised by this, he did not panic, which was expected.
In order to consolidate Maoyan Film's advantages in online e-commerce at the box office and prevent future challengers, he has already started the layout a year in advance.
At the beginning of the year, it reached a share agreement with Huaxia Brothers Media and Baoli Company, and not long ago, Royal Entertainment was pulled into the camp of Maoyan Films.
But even so, Yang Ming and Barber contacted through their mobile phones, chatted for a long time, and immediately decided to respond to the new platform of timely movies according to the original plan.
Just two days after the six major companies of the two countries announced their joint establishment, Hollywood had another blockbuster news.
Barber, CEO of Oriental DreamWorks Hollywood, appeared with the general managers of the three giants of Times Pictures, 19th Century, and Monona, and jointly announced that they had reached a cooperation agreement, and the three giants of Time, 19th Century, and Monnar will take a stake in Maoyan Films.
After this press conference, the news spread, and it immediately caused an uproar in the global entertainment industry.
It was like a thunderbolt that stunned countless people.
No one expected that the counterattack of Maoyan Movies would come so quickly, and in less than two days, it would pull other Hollywood giants into the same camp.
In this way, Maoyan Movie and Timely Film, the two major mobile e-commerce online ticket sales platforms, have divided several giants of the film industry in China and China into two camps.
The situation changed for two consecutive days, and countless people who watched it were dizzying, and no one thought that because of an online movie ticket sales platform, the film industry of the two most powerful countries on the planet would split into two camps, and in the face of sudden fission, no one expected.
They are all powerful alliances, and they are all world-famous giants, except for Oriental DreamWorks, of course.
But the boss of Oriental DreamWorks and the boss of Maoyan Movies are the same person, and suddenly Yang Ming's name has appeared frequently in media news reports again in the past two days, coupled with the still popular "Three Kingdoms", Yang Ming's popularity has soared again, and this time it is no longer limited to the entertainment industry and the film industry.
Countless elites around the world, no one thought that in just a few years, a young Chinese youth who could no longer be young had grown to this point, on an equal footing with a century-old film giant.
The most important thing is that with the news of the timely film news that six major companies such as Dimei and Pan American joined forces to form a film for Maoyan Film, Maoyan Film not only did not decline in the eyes of the outside world, but increased again, and its market value also skyrocketed again.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, they think that the alliance of six powerful film companies will pose a huge threat to Maoyan Films.
But there are still many discerning people, especially the elites in the Internet industry, who know that if timely movies want to threaten Maoyan movies, there is still a long way to go.
After all, the advantages of cat's eye movies are too great.
In the eyes of the bigwigs in the Internet industry, there is nothing special about the technology and functions of the Maoyan movie itself, but its creativity is amazing.
And Maoyan Movies took advantage of the fact that there were no competitors to dominate the market at an exaggerated speed, becoming the only choice for fans to buy movie tickets online.
In the Internet era, an Internet company has only one purpose in the end, and that is to compete for users.
Now Maoyan movies have long become the choice of movie fans, and when their consumption habits are fixed, it is too difficult for timely movies to win over these users.
Therefore, even if Timely Movie is jointly established by six powerful companies, in the eyes of many Internet bigwigs, they are not optimistic about Timely Movie, at least don't want to catch up with Maoyan Movie for at least five years, in this Internet era, the advantage of the pioneer is too great.
As long as there are no mistakes in the cat's eye movie itself, it is even more difficult for the timely movie to catch up with the pace of the cat's eye movie.
Because the six major companies formed a timely film conference was held in Hollywood, but the two days in China were also very unpeaceful.
Many entertainment media almost broke the threshold of Oriental DreamWorks, but they didn't see Yang Ming, but Liu Xinsheng simply accepted some media interviews and said some scenes, which disappointed countless reporters.
And the three CEOs of Huaxia Brothers Media, Baoli Company, and Royal Entertainment also called Yang Ming's mobile phone directly, obviously the three of them did not expect the other party to be so menacing.
Six powerful companies have joined forces, and it is impossible to say that the three of them are not worried at all.
The Huaxia branch of Timely Film is a combination of Shengli Pictures, Zhonghuang Entertainment and the Xiao family, the first two are okay, although they are also giants in the circle, everyone is very familiar with them, and they are not too worried about the two, but the Xiao consortium is different.
The Xiao consortium is strong, especially in terms of funds, and it can be said that Maoyan Movies is not at the same level as the other party at all.
Sometimes there is too much money, and it can really make a difference.
Yang Ming received a call from the three company bosses, seeing that they were so worried in their hearts, there was no ink, so he made an appointment with the three bosses for a while, and then revealed a little plan to them, so that they could completely put their minds at ease, and finally left with a smile.
What if you have money?
Maybe in the Internet world, you can't do anything without money, but sometimes money can't solve all problems.
The advantages of Maoyan movies are too great, and Yang Ming still has a killer weapon that has not yet been used.
When a day later, Barber announced a cooperation with the other three giants in Hollywood, and held a press conference, Brother Media, Polaroid, and Royal Entertainment really completely relieved themselves, at least in terms of formation, Maoyan Movies is only stronger than timely movies.
Just when everyone was attracted by the joint establishment of the six major companies and the counterattack made by Maoyan Films, the trailer of "Ghost Love" began to appear on major platforms on the Internet.
Lovers who are in love deeply, robbery, a gunshot rang out, Yang Ming was lying on the ground covered in blood, Whobi's funny scene, with a supernatural picture, the final picture of the trailer was frozen in Yang Ming's holy light, walking into the clouds into the gate of Nantianmen.
The trailer is very short, only one minute, and several scenes flash quickly, which makes countless fans curious and confused, but the general context of the story is still clear.
"Meet on Tanabata until death!"
Especially after the trailer, the eight big characters that came out at the end made many fans with objects excited.
Originally, many people were thinking about how to spend the Qixi Festival, but seeing this trailer, many people added this "Ghost Love" movie to the plan for the day of the Qixi Festival.
After the trailer of Yang Ming's new film came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the media and the entertainment industry.
When "Three Kingdoms" is still continuing its miracle journey in the box office market, this young man's new film announced that it will be released on Qixi Festival, which not only makes people feel extremely shocked by the speed of Yang Ming's filming, but also raises great vigilance in his heart for this "Ghost Love".
There's no way, "Three Kingdoms" has been released for three weeks, sweeping the domestic film box office rankings, except for some small production films of different genres that can still win at the box office, other films are simply unable to compete with "Three Kingdoms".
There are also one or two film productions that do not believe in evil and have a relatively large investment, and choose to be released in the summer at a similar time as "Three Kingdoms", but the result is quite tragic and the box office is extremely bleak.
And the theater company is also very powerful, for them, it must be which movie makes more money, then which movie will be released, "Three Kingdoms" is basically full, and it is difficult to find a ticket, and the theater will naturally increase the scheduling rate of "Three Kingdoms", even exceeding 60% at one point!
When fans come to the theater to watch a movie, the first thing they say is to ask if there are tickets for "Three Kingdoms", is there a reason for the theater to push customers outward?
The same is true for Maoyan movies, as long as the movie tickets for the "Three Kingdoms" show in the evening, they are basically sold out early, even the attendance rate during the day can basically reach more than 50%, and sometimes it can exceed 80%.
Just look at the fate of Xiao Bufan's "Liao Zhai", a lesson from the past!
Therefore, now all Yang Ming's movies have to make several domestic film companies more vigilant, what if this is another "Three Kingdoms"?
If this "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is indeed another "Three Kingdoms", then the movies are ready to immediately adjust the release schedule, stagger the time by a week, and minimize the impact.
However, when several domestic film companies watched the trailer of "Ghost Love", they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not a blockbuster, it's just a low-budget romance movie production, although there seem to be some special effects in it, but it's not a gorgeous epic scene.
Excluding Yang Ming's own worth factor, it is estimated that the production cost of this "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" will definitely not exceed 30 million yuan.
When several movies came to this conclusion through the trailer of "People and Ghosts", their hearts suddenly felt much more comfortable, so that they didn't need to be so worried, a small-budget movie of no more than 30 million, even if the box office was hot, it was extremely limited.
Some film companies that originally wanted to adjust the schedule also dispelled this idea in their hearts, what kind of joke, if it is a blockbuster similar to "Three Kingdoms", it is okay for them to adjust the schedule, but a small-budget love movie, if they are still afraid to adjust the schedule to avoid this "People and Ghosts", this matter will be spread, and it will not make others laugh loudly.
Afraid of Yang Ming, as for being afraid of this?
Chengde Summer Resort, a famous tourist attraction in China.
As the former royal palace, it is indeed a good place to escape the summer in summer, with mountains and rivers, so in modern times, some real estate developers have built many holiday villas along the Luanhe River and sold them to the wealthy of China to come here for vacation in summer.
In the past two days, because the media reporters were too crazy, Yang Ming was upset, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, so at the suggestion of his uncle, he came to Chengde to avoid the limelight, just to relax on vacation.
Li Xingyi has a private villa here, and he usually doesn't come over much, so he gave the key to Yang Ming and said that he would give him a gift.
Yang Ming didn't retreat, so he took it over and took Su Su over for a vacation.
"This place is really good, although there is no beach, but there are green mountains and green waters, it is indeed different from the feeling of going to the beach for a vacation in summer!" Yang Ming said comfortably lying on the recliner under the greenery.
"Hmm!" Su Su, who was lying on the other side, also nodded approvingly, "I feel that here, the wind blowing on my body is a little cooler than other places." ”
At this moment, Yang Ming's mobile phone rang, he took a look at it, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that Sister Zhu and they have arrived." ”
He picked up his mobile phone and said a few words, then walked over the gate and saw Sister Zhu walking in his direction with a couple of men and women.
"Hello, Director Mingjing, Miss Huang Xiaofeng. ”
The pair of men and women who followed Sister Zhu were naturally Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng, who had contacted Sister Zhu before.
In the past two days, Yang Ming has been busy dealing with the things over there of the Maoyan movie, as well as the trailer editing of "The Ghost is Not Over", so he didn't care about this side, and the media was too tightly blocked, he was afraid that the reporter would follow him and find Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng, and it would not sound good when the time came.
So, he took the opportunity to come to Chengde for a vacation and put the meeting place in Chengde, just to avoid those media reporters.
