Chapter 553: The Form of the Two Factions
Gu Xiaofan nodded as a matter of course, he came this time to see how the other party was doing, but He Tiejun couldn't help it with a smile on his face, he tried his best to restrain his joy, and said in a deep voice:
"No matter what the situation is, according to our momentum, as long as we don't make big mistakes, this time "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" should have a box office of more than 300 million, plus "Red Cliff", the box office of our summer domestic films should reach more than 700 million, which should not be lost to Hollywood. [Reading Network]"
Yes, the situation is very good now, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and "Red Cliff" are really likely to surpass the box office of each other's five blockbusters, and for Shangying, the most important thing is that the box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" can exceed 300 million, and they will not be able to recover their costs, which is the most surprising point for He Tiejun.
Wang Zhongjun coldly poured cold water on He Tiejun next to him and said: "Manager He, you still have to look at the box office of "Iron Man", which is not much different from your "Outwitting Tiger Mountain". ”
These words made the CEOs of other film companies stunned, and they all looked at Wang Zhongjun strangely, they had been happily calculating the report card of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" just now, and they hadn't had time to watch "Iron Man's", how did Wang Zhongjun know?
After Wang Zhongjun finished speaking, he didn't bother to explain, and directly asked the CNC personnel to call up the data of "Iron Man".
When everyone saw it, their mouths immediately opened unconsciously, "Iron Man", which was released on more than 1,300 screens, reached 5.51 million at the box office in 3 hours? There is only a slight gap of about 400,000 with "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".
He Tiejun couldn't help but change his face, and exclaimed lightly: "That's it...... Isn't that "Iron Man" also has a box office of nearly 200 million-300 million? ”
He Tiejun didn't expect that "Iron Man" would be so strong......
"Do you understand?" Wang Zhongjun had a hint of frustration in his tone, as if he was muttering to himself:
"The previously released "Superman Hancock", "Kung Fu Panda", and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" are estimated to have a box office of almost 500 million.
Coupled with "Iron Man", even if you don't count next week's "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", the total box office in Hollywood will definitely exceed 700 million. ”
The CEOs of the domestic film companies present suddenly felt cold, Bao Lidong and Yu Dong glanced at each other, and they both found the despair in each other's eyes.
Looking at this situation, this time the domestic movie is already going to lose......
The ecstasy before Bao Lidong, Yu Dong and the others disappeared all of a sudden, and sure enough, ...... Even if their three major domestic film giants work together, they can't fight the behemoth of Hollywood on their home turf......
Don't look at the box office this time, it may not lose much, but in the eyes of the partners of the eight major theater chains, the conclusion is that "domestic films can't beat Hollywood even if they try their best." ”
Then in the future, in addition to the protection month of the Chinese New Year stalls, the eight major cinema chains will still be close to the Hollywood camp.
This is also something that can't be helped, theaters are not charitable organizations, they only care about profits, and in the case of choosing one of the two, of course they will choose the side with greater market prospects.
It can be said that under the head-to-head confrontation of capital in the industry, the winner will completely exclude the loser, and the summer file will have less room for domestic films to survive for a long time in the future.
China Film and Shanghai Film are okay, they have proven that they have the strength to confront Hollywood head-on, but other companies are miserable...... Even Huayi was beaten to the point of losing his armor in the summer file, who in the theater is willing to offend Ed Wharton and those people for them?
"I also heard that Ed Wharton has said hello to the eight major theaters tonight, saying that they will increase the copy of "Iron Man" to 1,800 yuan in the next few days, and they will watch it themselves." Wang Zhongjun's cold voice sounded in the room again.
Hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but be angry and helpless, Bao Lidong scolded directly: "Damn! These Yankees are trying to get rid of us, this is to see that they have the advantage, so they have a showdown with the eight major theaters, and they want them to choose one of the two! ”
Yu Dong, who cherished words like gold, spit out two words with disdain between his teeth: "Yan Chao." ”
Although he said this sentence without beginning or end, everyone present knew what the CEO of Huaxia Pictures was talking about.
In terms of the eight major cinemas, the largest New Arts Association Theater is the first to look forward, and Yan Chao, the general manager of the New Arts Federation, was suppressed by Han Sanpin and Wang Zhongjun in order to add 14 imported films last year, and he has always held a grudge.
This time, it is their turn to influence the battle situation of the eight major theaters, and it is strange that he is not strict and does not fall into the ground......
Now that there is really a strong enemy outside and an internal trouble, how can this battle be fought?
At this time, the entire CNC center was quiet, the excitement and lively atmosphere just now disappeared, and everyone's eyes showed a look of helplessness and despair, even as calm as Han Sanpin, couldn't help but close their eyes and sighed slightly.
They won the battle on a small scale, but the grand strategy was about to be defeated.
"Mr. Han, I think this is a good opportunity."
Suddenly, a young voice broke the silence in the room, and everyone looked back at the person who spoke, it was Gu Xiaofan, who had not spoken tonight.
Gu Xiaofan looked at everyone and Han Sanpin, Wang Zhongjun cast a puzzled look, and his face was indeed calm, and he said without humility or arrogance:
"Mr. Han, Mr. Wang, CEOs, I don't think we need to be too pessimistic, always thinking about what will happen after this loss, why only think that our total box office can only reach 700 million?"
Gu Xiaofan swept everyone's eyes and said in a soft but decisive tone:
"If you think about it carefully, although Hollywood wants to impose a showdown on the eight major theaters this time, forcing the eight theaters to completely go to their side, thinking that it can completely overwhelm us, but in fact, this is also our chance to defeat them."
"What do you mean?" Wang Zhongjun frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Xiaofan couldn't figure out the form at all.
Han Sanpin looked at Gu Xiaofan quietly: "You continue." ”
In my impression, although Gu Xiaofan is bold every time he makes a proposal, the final result proves that he has a reason, this time he spoke amazingly, what idea does he have?
"It's simple." Gu Xiaofan said calmly:
"In the past, the eight major cinema chains have always had conflicts with our domestic film companies, which is basically a conflict of interests, and we hope that they will support us at the expense of their interests, which makes them inevitably disgusted for the purpose of profit, and they will naturally like Hollywood, which allows them to make money and arrange stalls freely.
But now it's completely different, we've shown that we're on par with Hollywood, and this time we're not pushing them on the stalls, it's a fair game.
On the other hand, although Hollywood has the advantage, its confidence has been shaken, and it has directly used the increase in the number of copies to give them a showdown, I am afraid that the eight major theaters are already very dissatisfied with their move......
