After staying in South Korea for a few more days, Liu Anran also got together with everyone and had a good chat, and made guiding opinions on the company's future variety shows. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rest, in more detail, he didn't say. In the future, New Star Media will be helmed by Kim Myung-kwan in South Korea, and let him cooperate with Liu Yi to revitalize the entire Asia-Pacific region.

After a steady Spring Festival at home, he returned to the United States with his family. After all, the post-production of "Departed" is not all over yet, although it can be handed over to someone else, he has to take a closer look.

Moreover, this year is the year when Liu Anran shouted the slogan to work hard to slaughter the list, and this year is very important for the entire Dream Media. It's not just the Oscars at the beginning of March, it's the whole year.

This year, the company has prepared plenty of ammunition, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "X-Men 3", "The Da Vinci Code", "007: Casino Royale", "Night at the Museum", "Infernal Affairs", "The Devil Wears Prada", "Chainsaw 2", "Fast and Furious 3", except for "Fast and Furious 3", these are all films that are likely to break 100 million at the box office.

In terms of the company's profitability, everyone is not too worried, and the results of 2004 and 2005 have given everyone a strong confidence.

"Edward, I think you're in a good mood." After coming to Edward's office, Liu Anran said with a smile.

"Although "Magic Kingdom of Narnia" and "Brokeback Mountain" are still being released, the box office of these two films can also be roughly estimated." Edward said with a smile.

""The Magic Kingdom of Narnia" has now surpassed the North American box office of $280 million, and "Brokeback Mountain" is estimated to exceed $80 million after its release. Based on the current figure, their share in Hollywood this year should account for about 14%, which will be two percentage points higher than the second-place Fox. ”

"If they didn't have "Star Wars Prequel 3", then we would have taken the first place with an absolute advantage. It's a pity that the box office of that film was too good and didn't let us open up too many gaps. ”

"That's okay, it's mainly up to this year. This year, we will leave them all behind, and win the first position in the North American box office share for three consecutive years, and I will see who will dare to fight with us in the future. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"Our two films, "Pink Panther" and "Octave below zero", which we released in February, also performed very well. The box office in the opening week exceeded $20 million, which is already very good at such a special time as February. Edward nodded.

"And the reputation of 'Octave below zero' is really good, and I think that when the DVD is released in the future, it will also be able to boost some sales. Now major companies are appropriately releasing some films, and many of them are also to fill the film library, and they are all preparing for this year's summer file. ”

"Also, is our "Transformers" live-action movie also going to start preparations? The company is also very optimistic about this theme now. ”

"Yes, it's pretty much there. The investment can be more relaxed, and this film is actually a special effect. Liu Anran smiled and nodded.

"And this film is also going to be made into a series to be released, and when writing the script, it also has to be carefully considered. Don't scrap this series, there are still many people who miss this theme. ”

"You can rest assured of this, in fact, we have almost written the script, and there is no problem with careful revision." Edward said.

"Now there are many sequel movies developed by our company, and there is a lot of pressure on these screenwriters. Now everyone knows that the sequel movie relies on more than the performance of the previous one, and it is very attentive. In fact, I'm just a little worried about the future box office of "Fast and Furious 3", and I'm afraid that everyone will not be able to bear this blow. ”

"Put your heart in your belly. When this film was handed over to Lin Yibin, I told him that I would put aside the previous two films, and this one would be the first one we really produced. Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"In fact, I don't care if this film can't recover its cost, because it will not just be a popcorn movie, but will be gradually added to the connotation by us."

"A series without connotation can't go far, just like "Ghost Shadow", I have already told Wen Ziren that a final version will be released next year, and the end of this series will be announced."

"But what about "Fast and Furious", as long as this series can continue the plot, each one will be able to achieve good results in the future. In the future, we will write the scripts for the series, and try to stabilize as much as possible. In this way, when writing a new plot, it may be able to inspire more inspiration. ”

"But it is also necessary to add new people to enter at any time, new people can bring new ideas, and it is also good for the whole plot. Otherwise, it is all the same plot, and it is difficult to attract the audience. ”

"We can play with some feelings, but if we just count on this, the glory of our company will be three or five years, and then it will be silent again. Because people will think that whether we produce a film to watch it in the cinema or wait for the DVD release in the future, it doesn't make much difference. ”

"I did notice this, especially since last year, online video streaming platforms have attracted a lot of audiences, which may be a new trend in the way movies are watched in the future." Edward nodded.

"So I have new considerations for the purchase of cinemas, can we shrink the scale and not make it so big at once? If people are accustomed to watching movies at home instead of going to the cinema in the future, the benefits we can get from this investment may not be large. ”

"And although the matter of "Brokeback Mountain" has some impact this time, it is now more beneficial for our company. In the future, I don't think there will be any obstacles in terms of our company's films and theaters. ”

The cost of investing in a cinema chain is very high, and it is not that you will be done with it, and there will be later investment. At least the upgrade of the software and hardware of the theater line, these need to be considered.

And the current trend, the box office is sluggish, and if the number of people who come to the cinema to watch the movie decreases sharply, the little promotion played by the acquisition of the cinema chain will not play a big role.

After all, if one more screen is released, the proportion of account sharing will be increased. It's not that the more screens that are released, the better, if you don't get a seat, you will have to die sooner or later.
