Chapter 538: 10,000 Premieres!
The Chinese entertainment industry is very large, and the Chinese entertainment industry is also very small.
Hu Yu refused Toei's buyout fee of 100 million US dollars, but it was still revealed by some people, and as soon as the news came out, the whole of China was shaken.
"I rarely convince people in my life, but for Hu Yu, I have to admire, this is 100 million US dollars, as long as it is sold, the cost of "Three Kingdoms" will not only come back, but also make a lot of money to shoot "Three Kingdoms", I really don't understand, what Hu Yu thinks, if you want to use one word to describe Hu Yu, then, I can only think of the word madman!"
"Actually, it's not just Hu Yu who is crazy, Toei Zhu's is also crazy! Asking for 100 million dollars for one, well, it's two (two-part) movies that have not been released, and only a madman dares to do this!"
"Actually, it's not that Toei Zhu's is crazy, but that we underestimate the degree of obsession of the island people with the culture of the Three Kingdoms, to be honest, the people of the island country like the culture of the Three Kingdoms more than we Chinese people, not to mention anything else, in the island country, there are more than 100 large and small Three Kingdoms Literature Societies, and there are millions of people who like the culture of the Three Kingdoms, or even tens of millions!"
"Wouldn't it, island people are so crazy?"
"Really, don't say anything else, let's talk about "Red Cliff", "Red Cliff" in the world, there are only two places in the world that have not encountered Waterloo, one is Huaxia, and the other is the island country, if it is not for the support of the island country, the investors of "Red Cliff" will lose to grandma's house!"
……
As the news spread, Hu Yu became popular, "Three Kingdoms" became popular, and at the same time, the Toei Zhushi clan in the island country also became popular!
Magic City, Shuguang Entertainment Headquarters Building, Chairman's Office.
Hu Yu and Zhao Zhonghua sat opposite each other.
"Boss, now the popularity of "Three Kingdoms" has been completely hyped, especially the news that you rejected Toei's 100 million US dollars, which is flying all over the sky, and it is about to become a national topic!" Zhao Zhonghua said with a smile.
The hotter "Three Kingdoms" is, the greater the probability of this movie achieving a big box office, and it is undeniable that hype is still a big boost to a movie.
Especially in the week when the movie was just released, there were many movies, big bad movies, but with the hype, it still got back a lot.
For example, "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven"!
This movie is a really bad movie, but with hype and a grand publicity offensive, didn't it still win a billion box office in the end?
And among the billions of box office, 600 million was obtained in the first seven days, accounting for 60% of the total box office!
It can be seen from this how bad "Havoc in Heaven" is.
Therefore, hype is essential for a movie.
"It's still Toei Zhu's cooperation, to be honest, I really didn't expect that Toei Zhu's would pay a buyout price of 100 million US dollars, which was too unexpected for me!" Hu Yu shook his head and said with a smile.
"But boss, are you really sure that the income of "Three Kingdoms" in the island country will be more than 100 million US dollars? If it were me, I would have agreed without saying a word!" Zhao Zhonghua asked.
In fact, this question has been buried in his heart for a long time, and if he doesn't ask it, he will feel uncomfortable!
"I'm not sure!" Hu Yu said, "I'm not a god, how do I know how much box office "Three Kingdoms" will get in the island country?"
"Then you, why did you reject the Toei clan?"
"Nothing, I prefer a share to a fixed buyout price. Hu Yu said casually.
Zhao Zhonghua: "......"
I just like to share, so I chose to share? Do you want to be so capricious?
Zhao Zhonghua was completely speechless, and at the same time, he also realized the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.
"Okay, I called you, but there's something you need to do!"
"Boss, what's the matter, just give orders!" Zhao Zhonghua said loudly.
"That's right, I'm going to hold the premiere of "Three Kingdoms" at 8 p.m. on December 28th. ”
"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do this premiere well!" Before Hu Yu's words were finished, Zhao Zhonghua was already patting his chest and guaranteeing.
Hu Yu said: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet!"
"This time, I'm going to have a premiere like no other!"
"Different?"
Hu Yu's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Yes, I am going to hold a premiere for 10,000 people!"
Zhao Zhonghua was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his ears, "Ten thousand, ten thousand people premiere?"
"Old, boss, you, you're not kidding, are you really holding a premiere for 10,000 people?" asked Zhao Zhonghua.
Generally speaking, the number of participants in the movie premiere will not exceed 500 people, and now Hu Yu actually wants to make a 10,000-person premiere, and Zhao Zhonghua knelt.
"You heard it right, I'm just going to hold a premiere of 10,000 people, like the premiere of "The Assembly"!" Hu Yu said in a deep voice.
In fact, holding the premiere of 10,000 people is also a dream of Hu Yu.
"If "Assembly" can hold the premiere of 10,000 people, then we can also hold the premiere of 10,000 people!" Hu Yu said in a deep voice.
"However, people are 2D movies, we are 3D movies!" Zhao Zhonghua wanted to say this, but he didn't say it in the end.
Because he knows that this is just an excuse, if he really wants to do it, the premiere of 10,000 people can still be done.
"The venue for the premiere will be at the Magic City Grand Theater!" Hu Yu continued.
"Okay, I'll deal with it!" Hu Yu even chose the venue, and Zhao Zhonghua could only help Hu Yu get this matter.
Because, in itself, it's his job!
"What about the audience at the premiere?" asked Zhao Zhonghua.
The premiere of 10,000 people cannot all be media staff and stars in the entertainment industry.
So, the audience is needed.
"For the audience, you don't have to worry, I'm going to hold a quiz event on Shuguang Weibo, and the top 1,000 can get tickets to the premiere. ”
"This event will last for nine days, that is, we will draw 9,000 ordinary viewers, and the remaining 1,000 will be given to some celebrities in the circle, as well as media people and critics. ”
"Answer the question and choose someone, this is a good idea!" Zhao Zhonghua's eyes lit up.
Because it looks fair, just and open.
"Boss, what's our question bank?" Zhao Zhonghua continued.
"Draw from the Three Kingdoms, and, in addition to the problems of the Three Kingdoms, we also need to include our Shuguang Entertainment in the question bank, for example, when was our Shuguang Entertainment established, when was our first movie of Shuguang Entertainment on the shelves, when did we sign a contract with Director Feng Xiaogang, and so on!"
The more Zhao Zhonghua listened, the brighter his eyes became.
Because Hu Yu is not only promoting "Three Kingdoms", but also promoting Shuguang Entertainment!
There is no doubt that those who can answer these questions are all fans of Dawning Entertainment.
Isn't it normal to give your own movies a preferential treatment to your fans?
"Gao, Gao!" Zhao Zhonghua exclaimed.
He couldn't think of this method!
