Chapter 746: Movie Tycoon

After reading the local media reports in the Netherlands, Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at Atletico Madrid, "It turned out to be a few gangsters, and they were also holding simulated toy guns, do you have a feeling of being hit by a punch and being pitted with a bloody face?"

Regarding his wife's teasing, the latter resolutely refused to accept it, shook his head and denied: "As the old saying goes: steal needles when you are young, and steal gold when you are big, so I am taking precautions for their good." What's more, these people know how to send bullets to threaten others at a young age, and they also know how to rob with fake guns, and the victims hide in the countryside and even rent a car to chase them over, and their methods are professional and arrogant, and they will have it when they grow up in the future? In order to prevent them from falling deeper and deeper into the gang and eventually becoming real gang members, it is also good to send them to enjoy humane prison services in advance. ”

"Hey, you just quibble," Tang Jiayi didn't believe it, "Or is your skill not as strong as you boasted, you didn't know their true identity, and you didn't know that it was a fake gun." ”

Atletico stared at the ceiling, twisted his arms and rocked his chair, refusing to answer the question.

Tang Jiayi accepted it when she saw it, "Okay, don't talk about this." Let's talk about your problem!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Glancing at him, Mrs. Ma warned: "Good swimmers drown, you should use these hacking methods sparingly, after all, the more complex and sophisticated the system, the easier it is to fail, you know this better than me." This time you deliberately left traces on the scene to attract the attention of investigators, but if there was a power outage, a solar ray burst, or an in10 upgrade or something in between, wouldn't it be tragic?"

"Don't worry, I have a backup plan, unless the Internet completely crashes and dissociates, the situation you said will not arise. ”

"You are reasonable," Tang Jiayi gently let go of this question, looked at Atletico Madrid and said coldly: "Boss Liu's business, don't get involved in it in the future!"

She always thought that it was okay for Orange Toys to use for herself, but it was not good to be openly involved in the design and production, and she didn't want her husband to be called "domestic Hugh Hefner" (the founder and boss of "PlayBoy").

Atletico ignored her warning, instead pointing to the screen and shouting, "Come and see this, someone is coming so soon!"

The article was written in English, Atletico naturally read it without hindrance, and Tang Jiayi also read through the whole text smoothly with the help of his humanoid dictionary, and couldn't help laughing after reading it: "This can be associated with cultural invasion, this person's brain hole is really big!"

The Dutch media people once again proved the theorem that the Queen's reporters run fast, and before the official investigation report came out, the lady, who was certified as the editor-in-chief of a film magazine, couldn't wait to express her opinion and put out such a dumping article "Hollywood Violent Movies Are Teaching Our Children Badly".

Thanks to the perfect fingerprint registration system, the identities of the four suspects were quickly verified and inquired about by the Queen's reporters. There is no Albanian Hey Gang, they are just a group of delinquent teenagers who yearn for the Hey Gang and want to emulate, or Dutch hooligans, who belong to the kind of big mistakes that do not make small mistakes. Since it is a "contradiction among the people", it is normal for someone to jump out to help them wash the floor, after all, the Netherlands has been famous for its declining crime rate in recent years, and a large number of prisons have begun to close (in fact, the standard is too high to support).

Then the Dutch female editor-in-chief threw out a rather strange opinion, he thinks that this group of suspects who are very young at first glance are just delinquent teenagers who have watched too many crime movies, and the fault is not that they are Hollywood, it is a violent movie that has swept the world, these children just watched too many violent movies and accidentally learned badly.

According to her, the reason why they are eyeing Liu Haiyang is entirely because his Chinese face is quite eye-catching among a group of foreigners, and many of the Chinese characters in Hollywood movies are obscene, cowardly, and easy to be robbed of honest people, and they have always been loved by the Hey Gang. And sending bullet threats and calling themselves Albanian Hey Gang, they also learned from movies, such as "Hurricane Rescue" or something, isn't it the Albanians who wreak havoc in Paris and organize the trafficking of women in that movie?

As for the fact that the film is co-produced by a group of French film companies, the editor-in-chief naturally selectively forgets that there is still an American giant such as 20th Century Fox among the distributors?

Then, she put forward her opinion that Hollywood films, especially violent films, should be boycotted, lest they teach bad children.

"This fart is crooked, in fact, those literary films in Europe are larger than commercial films in scale, and they are even more inappropriate for children, because many European directors are poisoned, and they think that if they don't take off, show themselves, don't die and don't go crazy, it's not a good movie," Atletico said.

There are still a lot of films with a sense of meaning, thought, and beauty, at least the ones I've seen are good. ”

Atletico couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Of course it's good, the films you watch are all from hundreds of films, and many of them have been processed technically, if you watch those unsuccessful raw meat (fan term, referring to untranslated foreign language films), you will not have this naïve idea." ”

Because it cannot be completely standardized, there is often a deviation in the understanding of good works between producers and audiences, which leads to a result, in terms of market success or failure, the vast majority of films are losers, and there are always very few that can be appreciated and sought after by the audience. Although the perfect system, abundant investment, famous production team, and rich experience under the "blockbuster model" can improve the probability of success, there is still no guarantee of steady profits, after all, the audience's tastes are not static, and the Hollywood companies that were almost bankrupt by blockbusters are not one or two.

The reason why foreign audiences have a good impression of Hollywood movies should be attributed to the "testing of drugs" of American audiences and the experience of global distributors. What they see is only the essence of Hollywood's hundreds of films every year, which are naturally above the standard and double the excellent works. As for the tens of thousands of independent films that have difficulty in distribution and can only sign up for the Sundance Film Festival in the hope of finding a background, for crooked fruit fans, these movies have never even heard of them, let alone seen them, and the huge number is just a number.

The beautiful and good-looking literary films mentioned by Tang Jiayi are all carefully selected and wholesaled imported from abroad by Bee Film and Television, some of which are nominated for awards at international film festivals, but more are "obscure" passerby films, the only thing in common is that they meet the viewing tastes and aesthetic vision of most Chinese people, making them feel good-looking and not boring.

Atletico Madrid only clicked a very high elimination ratio, and Tang Jiayi understood that she was about to fork her mouth for a while. In order to hide her embarrassment, she simply followed the other party's topic and asked: "By the way, how have you thought about opening an island cinema?"

"I just shirk it, it's a deep pit, whoever likes to jump will not jump into it!"

Since Hollywood blockbusters have entered, domestic literary films have become bitter children who don't love their fathers and mothers, except for a few high-quality large-scale productions such as the national teacher's hawthorn love, the vast majority of literary films are mixed very badly, and the number of films in theaters is only less than 1%, and the sense of existence is very weak. If you want to make money, you can only take the road of overseas award-winning overseas distribution. However, in this way, foreign audiences should be considered more in the selection and expression of content, and many of them are suspected of magnifying the scars for people to see, which has caused dissatisfaction among domestic audiences and regulatory authorities, and has formed a vicious circle of more and more unpopular the more you shoot.

That is, in recent years, the state has begun to attach importance to literary and artistic films and put forward some encouraging policies, but the proposal advocated by the industry to effectively imitate foreign experience and open professional art theaters and be subsidized by the state has been met with a cold reception, and no one can come down only when the stairs sound. Then someone hit the idea on Atletico Madrid's head, hoping that the local tyrant could reach out and create such a theater line that is destined to lose money.

Their reasons are also very good, Bee Film and Television is now the largest distributor of literary and artistic films in the country, with the mainland distribution rights and even full copyrights of thousands of Chinese and foreign films under its name, "If you don't get it, who will?"

Bee Ying, who has always been dismissive of popular film and television dramas, in order to cover up the fact that he is too expensive and can't afford it, specially packaged himself as a staunch believer in the "long-tail effect". Under the invisible control of the market giants, they have indeed embarked on this route, and the backlog of film and television dramas in China for many years has almost been selected, and the rest have also increased in price, forcing the procurement department to focus on overseas markets.

The cost of introducing Hollywood blockbusters is very high, and theatrical releases are a meal on the plate of China Film, and other distributors can only get a little soup from a limited number of batches (buyout distribution rights) each year. However, Bee Shadow did not do this, but focused on Bollywood, Nyllywood, and other film markets in Latin America, Europe and Asia. In particular, Bollywood, the hub of India's film industry, and Nollyood, the hub of African cinema, are the focus of their search.

The presence of films in these places in China is very weak, and the psychological expectations of the corresponding producers are also very low, and in the spirit of mosquito legs are also meat, they can easily sell Chinese and even English copyrights to Bee Film, and even sell all the rights to settle for safety.

When the film is in the hands of Bee Shadow, it is natural that it will not simply translate and add subtitles, and it is customary to re-edit it to highlight the highlights and enhance the story, which is often changed beyond recognition. After all, Bollywood claims to be the world's largest producer, but it is mainly for the Indian market, leaving people with the impression that they jump "I play mud in the Northeast" without saying a word. And the main audience of Nollywood is also black people in Nigeria and other countries, and the plot, characters, dialogues and everything are aimed at the local audience, and it is impossible to change it.

And although the production of movies in these places is high, the average production cost is very low, and the black films in Nyllywood are even lower than 20,000 US dollars, and they directly follow the route of DVD TV screening, and the picture quality of the film is also pitted, and it must be digitally restored to enhance the picture quality and sound quality, otherwise no one will watch it.

Fortunately, Bee has obvious technical advantages in this regard, and it also has an accurate intelligent recommendation function, so the overall number of plays is quite good, which is a new gold mine.

The input-output ratio is so high, others naturally have to follow suit, but they don't have the technical advantage of bees, and often they don't have the same as anti-dogs. Over time, Bee Film has accumulated a huge film library, although most of them are commercial films and documentaries, but there are also a lot of literary films mixed in it, and then before you know it, Atletico Madrid has become a "literary film tycoon".

Now that he has become a "tycoon", of course, he has to contribute more to the healthy development of the industry, but Atletico Madrid has always ignored these calls and lobbying. On the contrary, the Ludao City Government somehow moved its mind and came up with a project of the island cinema line to solicit opinions from him, and the plan that Tang Jiayi said was referring to this.

"It shouldn't cost much to build a local cinema chain, right?" Tang Jiayi was quite interested in this proposal, "After all, where is your film selection eye?" ”

Atletico Madrid casually arched his hand, "Thanks for your trust, thank you for the compliment, you can cooperate in online broadcasting, let me do the theater or don't talk about it!"

"Hehe, you're too careful, if you lose some money, you should support the development of the film industry. ”

The cost of online playback is mainly traffic, and the cost and income of the film are linear, and you can't lose much money if you are not popular. The bulk of offline screenings is the maintenance cost of theaters, and if the film does not sell out, it will not be a star and a half. In particular, the city built this island cinema in order to enhance the artistic atmosphere and brighten the city's business card, which is completely contrary to Ma Dong's commercial purpose.

"In fact, the literary and artistic theater chain also uses the long-tail effect, relying on professional brands to gather popularity and push up the box office through ultra-long screenings, but the cost of doing so is still too high, and it is far less cost-effective than online broadcasting. After all, there are always a small number of literary and artistic young people who have money and leisure, but these people pay special attention to personality and taste, and no matter how many screening halls there are, it is impossible to meet their needs at the same time. ”

"But the quality of the picture shown online is not good enough, and it doesn't have the atmosphere of a movie theater. ”

"The experience is a little worse, but the cost is low and promising. And aren't we now using vR and barrage technology to create virtual movie theaters?"

"Isn't your blind bee cinema cancelled?"

"It's canceled, but it proves that it doesn't matter how crowded it is. Forcing more people to be lively, and the big screen is a real movie, that is actually a disease, and you need to find Yang to call the beast to cure it. ”

Bee Shadow has tried to launch an online player app called Bee Cinema vR, which claims to simulate the movie-watching experience of a movie theater with the help of a vR headset: on-demand playback, large screen, surround sound, self-selected position, various neighbors, and real live commentary. However, the actual situation is not satisfactory,The main reason is that the mainstream vR equipment is a variety of mobile phone boxes,The resolution is limited and tight,The network bandwidth is also a little unable to keep up,Resulting in picture and stereo performance It is difficult to meet expectations。 In addition, many people are not used to voice reviews and barrage systems, which has led to the fact that the popularity of the product has not been able to rise, and it was finally forced offline.
