The world's Dahua is the world's largest movie box office. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dahua's film market is definitely a huge fat meat that everyone wants to eat.
However, even Hollywood's six major studios dream of entering Dahua's film market.
But it is a pity that the distribution channels of the Dahua film market have always been controlled by several major domestic film companies in Dahua, even the six major film companies that are as strong as Hollywood, are not comparable to these major film companies in Dahua.
In fact, the development process of these film companies in Dahua is similar to that of the six major Hollywood film companies in the previous life. The predecessors of these film companies were all large-scale film groups that integrated production, distribution and cinema chains, and later the "Paramount Act" occurred in the United States, which also affected Dahua's film market, and these large film companies had no choice but to separate distribution and cinema chains.
But even if it is dismantled, several super cinemas in Dahua are inextricably linked to these film companies, and foreign distribution companies want to meddle in Dahua's film distribution work.
It's just that Dahua's domestic film companies have too much internal friction and have not seized the opportunity to enter the foreign market, which has allowed Hollywood's six major film companies to seize the opportunity and seize the film market in Europe, South America, Africa and even Australia, Dahua's own reserve
Therefore, Hollywood's six major film companies are strong in overseas distribution channels, and Dahua's major domestic film companies are dedicated to Dahua's domestic film market, which is similar to the film industry in the previous life.
However, in this life, Dahua's domestic film market is really too big.
Let's put it this way, if the total global box office of a movie is 1 billion Chinese yuan, then the box office of Dahua alone can account for almost half of it.
Dahua's film market is quite strong!
As the most powerful country in the world, Dahua's per capita income is also quite high.
Although the United States is also rich, the population of the United States is less than one-fifth of that of Dahua. There are now about 4,200 movie theaters and about 39,000 big screens in the United States, which is about the same as in the United States in the previous life.
However, Dahua, with a population of 1.7 billion, has more than 22,000 movie theaters nationwide, and the number of large screens is as high as nearly 200,000......
In the previous life, when the Chinese film market was not yet mature, the box office of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster in North America usually accounted for about half of the total global box office.
In this life, with Dahua's film market, the box office market in North America has shrunk to about a quarter of the global box office.
Whether a movie can be profitable or not, Dahua's box office is the key!
In fact, in the previous life, with the gradual improvement of Huaxia's economy, by the time the grandmaster came to this world, Huaxia's film market was already able to compete with North America. Perhaps it won't be long before the box office of Huaxia can surpass North America and become the world's largest box office.
But the Grandmaster can't see this day......
Li Maohua picked up the wine glass with a smile, touched it with the grandmaster and Yu Jin, drank the top red wine in the wine glass in one sip, burped and said: "Master, with the relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Lord of Yingyun, Panlong Film and Television is definitely not a big problem. ”
The Grandmaster nodded silently.
Panlong Film and Television is one of the four major domestic film companies in Dahua, the predecessor of this film and television company is Panlong Film and Television Group, and it is said that the controlling party behind it comes from Dahua's royal family.
Panlong Film and Television Group was spun off in the 70s of the last century, and part of it became Panlong Film and Television, one of the four major domestic film and television companies of Dahua, and the other part was Panlong Cinema, the largest cinema chain in China.
In fact, it can be seen from the names of Panlong Film and Television and Panlong Cinema, a film and television company and cinema company, that although Dahua's domestic film and television group has been spun off, it is actually a matter of changing the soup but not the medicine.
Yu Jin said excitedly: "Dahua has Panlong Film and Television to be responsible for distribution in China, and Warner Bros. is responsible for distribution in overseas markets, so our "Forrest Gump" is absolutely no problem." These two distributors have enough channels to bring the film to any corner of the world. At that time, we will just wait and collect the money. ”
For Yu Jin's words, the grandmaster naturally would not object.
What is the power of "Forrest Gump" in the previous life, the grandmaster knows very well, and he also knows very well that with the three views of the people of the two worlds, this movie will still burst out with a strong box office harvesting ability after coming to this world.
The celebration banquet was held smoothly, because the main actors of this movie are all newcomers, so nothing special happened at the celebration banquet. These main actors are also looking forward to the release of this film.
Although they have not yet seen the finished film, as the main actors of the film, they were able to experience the charm of the film in combination with the script during the filming process.
These actors also understand that this movie may be their turnaround!
Early the next morning, accompanied by Li Maohua and Yu Jin, the Grandmaster went to the bank, took out the filmed film from the bank safe, and then went straight to the airport.
Although it was his first time making a film, he also knew the importance of protecting the film during filming. These days, people's hearts are not so good, and the devil knows what will happen. Therefore, the grandmaster simply rented a huge safe from the local bank at the beginning of the filming, and after the shooting was completed every day, the filmed film was stamped with a serial number and sent to the bank for preservation.
In this regard, it is impossible to be too careful, even if it costs more than 100,000 US dollars to rent a large safe, the Grandmaster will not hesitate.
The reason why this film was shot on film, rather than with the now popular digital camera, was mainly for the sake of the Oscars.
In fact, digital shooting of movies is far more convenient than film shooting, not to mention, at least in terms of cost, it is necessary to save at least hundreds of thousands of dollars of film, and during the release period, digitally shot films, only need a USB flash drive to be screened, and film films also need to make copies, such a heavyweight box office, if it is released in all theaters across the country, the cost of making film copies alone will need millions of dollars!
Therefore, from the perspective of cost and publicity cost, it is inevitable to replace film photography with digital photography.
But if your film wants to compete for the Oscars, then sorry, digital photography step aside!
Whenever you want to make a difference at the Oscars, then the first thing is that your film must be shot on film.
There's no way, the old men in the film school don't have other skills, but nostalgia is top-notch. If you dare to use a movie shot with a digital camera to participate in the Oscars, then well, you can get an Oscar nomination even if you have done the best in public relations, as for wanting to win the award, wait a few more decades!
It is for this reason that when filming "Forrest Gump", the grandmaster chose film shooting.
