At the end of the screening of "2012", the lights were back on, and the audience gave warm applause. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Everyone, one after another, has once again paid tribute to a generation of disaster film master Roland. Emmerich salutes. Those businessmen in the circle also have to admit that Sony Pictures, which has been losing money, is really likely to rely on this "2012" to achieve a year-end turnaround this year.

The film is directed by Roland. Emmerich took the stage and spent 15 minutes making various speeches. Then there are the actors such as Cusack and Amanda who talk about tidbits and enjoy the spotlight of the press conference.

Everything is a premiere routine.

Finally, when it came time for Sony Pictures CEO Mark Lindon to speak, he made a few polite words and turned to the topic.

"Thank you very much for your support, there is a good news that has just been released, and I would like to share it with you: at the same time as the premiere, the film was released at the same time in the United States, and the current box office of the first show in the United States has been counted: $6.8 million! Let's cheer together! ”

The first box office is generally counted as the number of tickets sold within 3 hours after the release of the movie. If the premiere does not start at midnight, the box office of the premiere is roughly equivalent to 30% of the box office on the first day and 10% of the box office in the first week.

The premiere of "2012" was on November 13, and it was chosen on a Friday, and it didn't open at midnight, so the time was still very good. As soon as Mark Linden's data was reported, everyone knew that this year's new masterpiece was born again.

"More than $6 million? Sony, this is the rhythm of turning over! ”

"It is estimated that this film will really cost $500 million in the end."

"The price of D2's special effects is about to rise, and it is estimated that there will be fewer customers looking for industrial light and magic in the future."

Mark Linden was dazzled by the spotlight, but he couldn't hide his smile.

"Everybody is quiet, quiet. Here, we also have an important decision, and we would like to take the opportunity to announce that from now on, all production companies under Sony Pictures, including Columbia and MGM, will sign a strategic cooperation framework agreement with D2.

In the next 5 years, we will cooperate with D2 and its strategic allies on a large scale. With an 85% discount at a discount of more than the current price, we will undertake the production of blockbuster special effects with a budget of more than 100 million US dollars. It is believed that the companies under Sony Pictures, with this major cost control, will get out of the side effects of the previous high-quality route in one fell swoop. ”

Mark Lyndon said such things on such an occasion, and the audience was in an uproar.

This is a blatant announcement that the three major publishers of the Sony system will break with ILM in the future.

Not only did "2012" not use Industrial Light & Magic this time, but it will not be used in the future.

The eyes of the audience were faintly shooting in the direction of Gu Mojie.

There is not a single one here who is not well-informed. It's no secret that the new boss behind ILM is here today for the premiere of 2012.

Gu Mojie could feel that the women around him were a little uncomfortable. Fei Liluo doesn't understand the energy in the entertainment industry, and she is relatively calm, while Quan Baoer is already trembling slightly.

"So what, didn't we already know, calm." Gu Mojie's lips fanned slightly, stopping Bao'er's nervousness, "Don't embarrass me." ”

……

"Click~" In the corridor of the end, countless magnesium lights flashed. Gu Mojie did not leave in a hurry, but sat for five more minutes, waiting for the vast majority of people to finish before getting up. However, when he appeared at the door of the theater, there were still countless reporters flocking to him with guns and guns.

"These guys, why didn't they chase the big news? Still squatting us? Gu Mojie whispered contemptuously in Bao'er's ear.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think of President Mark Linden's speech today?"

"Can the long-term cancellation of Colombia's long-term partnership with top publishers such as MGM be considered a major external setback for ILM's restructuring plan?"

"Some people say that your arbitrary and rude act of insisting on relocating ILM to China has hurt the progress and development of film special effects technology for all mankind. Do you agree with this statement? ”

Gu Mojie kept smiling and walking out, letting his bodyguards separate the crowd. Until, when he heard the third question, his face turned cold:

"It turns out that in the eyes of some people, the relocation of Industrial Light and Magic to China is tantamount to 'hurting the progress and development of film special effects technology for all mankind'? Which media are you a reporter for? Where did you hear this kind of thing, or did you make it up yourself? ”

The female reporter who was forced to look at him subconsciously took a step back, and then stabilized her aura: "What? The United States is a country of free speech. These words were originally rumors in the recent industry, could it be that Mr. Gu is ready to block the world's mouths? I'm Jennifer, a reporter for Film Review. Shelley, if you feel this is defamatory, feel free to complain. ”

"Industry rumors? What an industry rumor. I always thought that you liked to attack the Chinese for being 'represented', but it seems that the American people are more easily represented—do the three Sony publishers 'represent' the Hollywood 'industry'? I don't have much to say about the guy who is willing to be a dog for the Japanese. ”

Gu Mojie's counterattack immediately caused a monstrous sensation; More merciless than Mark Linden's words just now.

All the media people have blown up.

"Then you insist that after ILM moves to China, it can produce more brilliant works than before?"

"What works does ILM plan to come up with in the future to challenge the box office success of D2's "2012" special effects?"

"Please let the numbers speak! Hollywood doesn't need to brag! ”

"Cinema is an art, not a pure business! Don't think that just because you make a lot of money, you can insult the movie casually! ”

Gu Mojie waited indifferently for those people to finish their nonsense.

"Finished? Finally my turn to answer? Your interview skills are such a mess. Okay, then I'll say a few words. He cleared his throat, "After ILM relocated to China, the first film to provide post-production special effects is "Inception" that Legendary Pictures will finish filming in the near future. However, that film will not be released until the summer of next year, and it is too insincere to compare it.

If you're so curious, I can prove that Avatar, which will be released next month, is the main post-production work for the film, which was completed after ILM was acquired by Hatsune Originals.

Here, I would also like to formally extend an invitation to Fox, the publisher of "Avatar" and an excellent partner of Industrial Light & Magic, to be willing to cooperate with Hatsune Entertainment in the Chinese market. We will show you how much box office momentum can be generated by the model of real in-depth cooperation with the Chinese market. ”

"Do you think "Avatar" will definitely surpass "2012" at the box office? Or do you think the box office results are a testament to the technical superiority? The reporter's question was very sharp at the beginning, but when he said the back, his tone was slightly cowardly.

The main reason is that there are too many technical titles on the head of the film "Avatar", and it has blown a lot of halos before it is released. The reporter secretly thought that it was no problem for "Avatar" to surpass "2012" at the box office, but I don't know how much.

"Please note! You are the ones who came up with this comparative dimension, not me. Gu Mojie solemnly corrected the statement of the reporter of "Film Review",

"It's just that no matter what rules you use to compare, I don't care. I would like to add that when Sony Pictures bought the three major Hollywood distributors, it was just before the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble, and they were able to bear the 50% premium for the big deal.

However, everyone also saw the perennial recession of the Japanese economy. Therefore, I understand very well that they can't afford to use the world's top technology when they don't have the money, and they turn to low costs. I just didn't expect that Hollywood has also begun to develop the value of 'the poorer the more honorable' in recent years, which is really eye-opening for me." ”

"What? Do you think that Sony Pictures has withdrawn from cooperating with D2 because it has been losing money for many years, has been short of funds, and cannot afford to use Industrial Light & Magic? ”

God assists! Gu Mojie felt that the reporter who said this sentence was much cuter than other colleagues.

After a while, you can consider stuffing a big red envelope into the person who asked this sentence.

"That's what you said, not what I said."

The audience was in an uproar.

This matter has been reversed from "Industrial Light & Magic moved to China, so Sony looks down on Industrial Light & Magic and doesn't want to use it", to "Because Sony has been losing money for years and can't afford to use it, it can only go to D2".

is forced to pretend, and the crack between the two sides, which is absolutely impossible to bridge, is also a certainty.

"So what strategy is Hatsune Original going to come up with to deal with the problems caused by the shrinkage of the Industrial Light & Magic business? Is it just like Sony back then, losing money and making money? ”

"This is a trade secret of Hatsune Original, so I shouldn't have said more. Since you are so interested, let me say a few words.

First of all, we will use the "Avatar" cooperation as a test of the waters, so that the world can see clearly how much additional benefits will be obtained in terms of entering the Chinese market by finding Industrial Light & Magic for post-production films.

Secondly, we will seek other new media and emerging high-quality customers outside of the top eight publishers to promote our special effects business. And it's not necessarily limited to the traditional cinema market. As for what those new media are, I have nothing to say. ”

All the high-ranking Hollywood people are going crazy when they hear Gu Mojie's words.

What the? Is this still what Hollywood people say?

That nouveau riche and hillbilly from China shouldn't want to play his old business, use a high-profile company like Industrial Light and Magic, and make special effects for those low-level online dramas, right?

Gu Mojie left the scene amid a huge controversy.

……

Sitting on the palace element, Quan Bao'er is still a little worried, and the scene of her boyfriend being questioned by so many reporters makes her deeply uneasy.

"What are you going to do to deal with the past? Just hope to let the major films see the convenience of entering the Chinese market after using industrial light and magic special effects? The second trick you said was a false shot? ”

"It's not a false shot, I'm really going to transform Industrial Light and Magic like this." Gu Mojie said decisively, "Industrial Light & Magic is indeed bloated, and there are 30-year-old companies with outdated business models. Before I bought it, when the mainstream business was insufficient, most of those guys were idle and wanted to get a high salary. I'm going to get some relatively low-cost non-mainstream business, so as to ensure that the blockbuster bridging period will not be empty, and I can more or less share about 20% of the fixed costs. ”

Quan Baoer couldn't understand what Gu Mojie was saying at all. She just needs to know that Gu Mojie will never lie to her.

Since he said that he would not lose money, he must not lose money. Outsiders' short-term prejudice, why bother.

Gu Mojie was chatting with the girls when his mobile phone rang.

Take it out and take a look, it's the domestic number, Boss Li's.

“Robin？ What's wrong. ”

"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has upgraded its wording again today, and its attitude has become tougher. Let me remind you, Google, if you want to do it, it's almost time. ”

"Thank you, please come back to you." (To be continued.) )
