Chapter 079: Departure, Prestige

Huang Yusheng returned to his seat, thought about it and was still a little breathless, drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, and scolded secretly: "I don't know what to lift!"

"People don't mean to eat at us, there's no need to look at our faces, I advised you not to look uncomfortable, you don't listen!" A man with dark skin and a medium-length round head next to him said to Huang Yusheng.

Everyone is also familiar with this person, he is Liu Qingyun, this person Li Xiang likes a lot, because of Du Qifeng, after all, he is in several classic movies of the galaxy.

It's just that he has never cooperated with the mainland, but he will not be as brain-dead as Huang and Du, and people are very low-key to shoot the works of director HK, which is undoubtedly a very smart person.

"I'm just looking at a local bun from the mainland, and I'm not happy to get such a high box office, and if it goes on like this, our own movie will end sooner or later!" Huang Yu said angrily.

"Our market is too small, we can't feed so many of us at all, looking north to Shenzhou is the right way, Ah Sheng, I also advise you not to say anything too much, be careful to cause trouble for yourself!" Liu Qingyun has always advocated that more is better than less, a typical refined egoist.

"I'm in Hong Kong, how can they still persecute me? K people rule K, does it mean to say?" Huang Yusheng was dissatisfied with seven and eight was angry, obviously not taking Liu Qingyun's advice to heart.

"Ahh You can do it yourself!" The words have been said for this part, and Liu Qingyun is not easy to persuade anymore.

···

The name of the gunman in HK and Wanwan should be closer to the theme of the story, called the model criminal.

The two protagonists of the movie, Xiao Lin and Xiao Tao, are both model students, and this story is mainly about their degradation and self-redemption.

Secondly, their behavior violated the law, and the "criminal" in the title of the film has become a homonym, and the model offender is actually more suitable as the title of the film, but why is the mainland not called this name, you know!

This is also where many mainland audiences complain, his meow Lao Tzu thought it was a shootout movie when he walked into the cinema!

It turned out that it was actually about the exam, but fortunately, Li Xiang made this movie quite well, or he had to be sprayed on the Internet to borrow my hatred.

Yindu really tasted the sweetness of cooperating with Li Xiang this time, Hong Kong is only a small part of the local area, and the most important thing is that the box office in Southeast Asia is very happy for Yindu.

Now Southeast Asia is no longer the 80s when Hong Kong films were rampant at will, and other countries also have their own film protection systems, after all, no one wants to be culturally invaded, you say?

Therefore, except for people such as Fa Ge Viagra who still have box office appeal in Southeast Asia, other movies have to be purely movie quality.

The gunslinger belongs to the kind of film quality that is particularly excellent, and it turns out that Yindu's original choice was correct, when filmmakers from all over Southeast Asia came to buy films, Yindu made a ladder gambling agreement, if the box office reaches a fixed value, the box office share is a few percent, and it varies according to the size of the market.

This suggestion was put forward by Li Xiang, and it was also a self-test of his own, before Yindu made a choice, he actually had concerns, vested interests and long-term interests are always a problem, after all, one is close at hand, and the other is far away.

Fortunately, Yindu is behind his father, and the gunman's cost budget is almost negligible, the difference between the two is just to earn more and earn less, and it is in line with Li Xiang's wishes, and then there is a return, the gunman in 10 days, brought 2 million US dollars to Yindu, if the box office decline is stable in the future, it is not a problem to win 5 million US dollars.

This money is divided between Yindu and Chocobo Studio, Yindu 9 Chocobo 1, this is discussed before, if you want others to help you expand your channels, it is simply whimsical not to let out some profits.

Optical fiber only has the right to distribute in the mainland, Japan and South Korea, so the big boss can only watch the profits of HK and Southeast Asia.

Film distribution is an industry that is extremely networked, not everyone can do it, and it is not uncommon for good works to go unnoticed.

···

Li Xiang and his entourage stayed in HK for two days, and then flew to Wanwan, because "Model Criminal" (The Gunman) broke 100 million at the box office in Wanwan, of course, it was NT$.

In fact, it is more than 20 million, but it is quite a remarkable achievement in Wanwan.

When "Genius Gunman" won NT$70 million in the first week of its release in Wanwan, Wanwan media shouted wolf, because it surpassed "Cape No. 7", which had already occupied the Wanwan box office champion for four weeks, in the previous life, this movie was the Wanwan box office champion for 8 consecutive weeks.

Li Xiang's movies are actually not treated by Wanwan, but he had no channels for large-scale distribution in Wanwan before, and everyone who knows the movie knows that when the quality of the movies is comparable, the box office of the two films is reflected in the film scheduling rate.

Relying on the publisher Prestige International this time, the Gunners have greatly improved the scheduling rate of Wanwan, because this streaming company that will run rampant in Wanwan in the future is also very good at distribution.

On January 19 last year, Prestige International changed the company's brand name to "CATCHPLAY", announced its entry into the film industry, and at the end of the year, it represented its first film, "Doomsday Danger: The Battle of Kings" starring Gorda Statham.

Until the release of this year's Gunslinger, what Prestige did was to expand distribution channels, and when Li Xiang's Gunslinger sought cooperation with Wanwan Distributor in September, Prestige felt that the time was ripe and took the initiative to come to the door.

The ultimate goal of prestige has always been to become Netflix in Greater China, but Wanwan can rely on its own background to run rampant, because the major shareholder behind prestige is Wanwan's famous female entrepreneur, Wang Xuehong, the founder of HTC.

But the mainland is not so easy, the problem in front of Prestige is how to open the mainland market, and Prestige feels that it is a good way to pass Li Xiang.

First of all, his works are very popular in the market, Li Xiang is very young, secondly, Li Xiang is very young, and finally he is the optical fiber and Wanda standing behind him.

This is the point that Prestige is most optimistic about Li Xiang, because no matter what channel you do, what supports the healthy survival of your channel is always the content you can provide.

That's why Netflix later chose to get involved in the production and distribution of film and television on the premise of ensuring that its original business was running well, and launched excellent TV series such as "House of Cards" and "Stranger Things".

Because having good content will attract more users, and at the same time increase the user stickiness of the platform itself.
