Chapter 394: "Iron Man" Premiere (The wound is inflamed, and tears run)
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's the National Day.
In this month and a half, the filming progress of "Avatar" was very fast, and the team became tacit after a week of running-in and commanding.
Since most of them are filmed in the studio, and the virtual actors have more scenes than real actors, the amount of filming is less than that of ordinary blockbusters. According to Wang Shang's prediction, by April next year, the film will be completed, and then officially enter the post-production stage.
Although there are a large number of security guards and walls so that they have no way to enter the studio to have a look, every time Liu Tianwang and Robert Downey Jr. appear international superstars, it will cause a lot of cheers, and then further attract countless tourists to Zhangjiajie.
Although Wang Hei is constantly giving "Avatar" the title of the second "Wuji" big investment bad movie, although fans subtly think that this movie will become a bad movie, Liu Tianwang, Donnie, Xie Tingfeng are famous enough, and the close contact is enough to make those tourists scream excitedly.
When the managers of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park saw the summary of the monthly tourism data for August and September, they were happy to find their teeth: the number of tourists increased by 50% compared with the same period last year, which is extremely amazing.
Where is this partner, it's simply the God of Wealth. I am glad that I did not despise "Avatar" at the beginning, and I am even more glad that I actively cooperated with the crew to settle in and build, thinking that I must cooperate with the work of the "Avatar" crew wholeheartedly.
In addition to crew work. During this period of time, the Tianwang special effects company has encountered difficulties, the external business volume has been seriously reduced, and the outside world is also spreading various things that are not conducive to the Tianwang special effects, such as high fees, poor service attitude, and cutting corners...... Anyway, it should be as dark as it should be, so that many film companies that want to find Tianwang special effects for the later stage have retreated, and turned to other special effects companies and special effects studios.
Compared with the various slanders outside, Tianwang Film and Television did not have any reaction, and it was still very low-key, since the business volume has decreased. Wang Shang gave them some tasks. Among them are the more famous cartoon movies "Ice Age" and "Kung Fu Panda" in the previous time and space. In addition, the film can be shot however it wants, and the acquisition plan is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Every other week, President Bi Han would report to Wang Shang on the progress of the acquisition.
At present, the online media platform has found 3 companies that are interested in selling, and the network ranking is not high. Mismanagement. But fortunately, the organizational structure and personnel are relatively perfect.
More than a dozen TV stations were contacted. Unfortunately, there has been no progress yet.
The animation company that negotiated with Feilong Animation has also entered the final negotiation stage, and it is expected to officially enter the stage of signing the agreement in November and December.
In terms of the acquisition of Huaxia's domestic cinema chain, it is not going well. In the end, Bihan discussed with the management team and decided to change the strategy, while building cinemas in urban centers above the third level, while acquiring/attracting private cinemas, building a new cinema chain, and cooperating with the IMAX cinema construction plan, the cinema line will be built in the direction of high-end exquisite luxury, giving people more advanced and comfortable enjoyment.
However, the acquisition plan of one city and one theater abroad is going very well, North America has completed the acquisition of 15 theaters, and is currently vigorously renovating, the European Union has also completed the acquisition of theaters in 26 cities, and the world's major film markets are also throwing money on large-scale acquisitions, but the targets are all super-large cities, with very good tastes, and ordinary cities are not eye-catching at all.
Its acquisition was not a wholly-owned acquisition, but a 30%-60% equity acquisition, which did not violate the interests of most cinema chains.
The name of the cinema company is set as 'International Cinema Line', and the registered company is in North America.
This kind of acquisition behavior naturally attracted the attention of many movie theater chains around the world, but because the target of this movie theater chain is only focused on super-large cities, and the number of movie theaters is scarce, the conflict of interest is not large, so it has not caused a strong backlash from major theater chains in various countries. However, the owner of this company is very mysterious, and he has never shown up at all, and he is very low-key. There are already many people who are speculating whether the owner is American, European, or Chinese.
In addition to the above things, the box office market of movies this autumn is also lively.
First of all, "The Amazing Spider-Man" relied on the huge popularity accumulated by the original "Spider-Man" series, and collected a total of 500 million US dollars in the first week of its global unified release, opening the beginning of the year-end box office war!
Subsequently, another Marvel hero "Captain America" also carried 3D audio-visual enjoyment around the world, with a global box office revenue of $450 million in the first week, which stimulated the heat of the box office war to continue to rise!
The year-end of 2011 is the most densely scheduled blockbuster in the history of global cinema, the hottest year-end at the box office, and the hottest year-end for fans around the world!!
Blockbusters are coming one after another, and fans are already so happy that they are about to faint!
The ability to twist time and space is gradually restored, and more and more blockbusters from the previous time and space have begun to appear in this time and space, especially those heroes of Marvel.
With "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Captain America" igniting the year-end box office war, "X-Men" and "Rio Adventure" also followed, staging one box office miracle after another in the global box office market.
The Chicago Gazette, a professional film review newspaper, is already exclaiming that this year's box office is surprisingly terrifying, and the global box office has surpassed the 2010 global box office by 20% before November. According to the more intensive blockbuster schedule at the end of the year, this year's total box office may exceed 40% of the total box office in 2010. What they don't know is that the total box office in 2010 has surpassed the global total box office in 2014, and the film entertainment industry is unprecedentedly developed.
The expansion of the market has further stimulated those large film and television companies to change their film plans for next year, increase investment, and increase the number of blockbusters. At the same time, it was also stimulated by Tianwang Film and Television Group's $440 million to make a movie, and it also increased the ceiling of blockbuster funds.
In November, Datang International's sci-fi evolutionary mutation film "Gods and Demons Colony", which aims to be set in the international film market and has an investment of 1.2 billion yuan, finally premiered in the North American film market.
It is a movie adapted from the novel of the same name on the Internet, which tells the story of Su Yu, a student of a third-rate school, who collapsed into the "Tiankeng" because of the "Tiankeng" incident, and appeared in a terrifying unknown forest, which is full of all kinds of terrifying and weird monsters......
Before the investment in this movie was confirmed, Tang Zongshi also consulted Wang Shang, and finally pulled an investment of 300 million yuan from Tianwang Film and Television Group. Tang Zongshi was very confident in this movie, and also wanted to use it to make Datang International internationally famous, so he directly put it for its North American premiere despite everyone's opposition, and also competed with many Hollywood blockbusters.
At this time, it has "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Captain America", which have been released for nearly a month, and "X-Men", which was just released last week, and "Twilight" at the same time, and the interception of "Iron Man" in the back, which can be described as a group of tigers.
When it was first released, because there were too many blockbusters, the scheduling rate of "Gods and Demons Farm" was less than 10%. But four days after its release, the reviews are getting higher and higher, and it is called the most imaginative film of the year. The daily box office is also rising instead of falling, rising steadily, from the original bottom thirteen, and on the fifth day, it ranked second on the day's box office list with a super high daily box office of $50 million, only $2 million less than "X-Men", and pressed all blockbusters such as "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Captain America" under him.
This time, "Gods and Demons Farm" is on fire!!
This Chinese blockbuster suddenly became the darling of many entertainment newspapers in North America, and its popularity was widely spread. Tang Zongshi's goal was achieved, and Datang International finally became famous in North America, the most developed country for films. Distribution companies in foreign film markets such as the European Union and Southeast Asia have contacted Datang International, hoping to obtain local distribution and screening rights.
In addition, investors have come to the door one after another, hoping to invest in "Gods and Demons 2", and they all have strong confidence in the box office of "Gods and Demons 2".
At this time, Wang Shang, who was still immersed in directing the filming of "Avatar", received an invitation from Disney Pictures, inviting him to attend the midnight premiere of "Iron Man".
"Iron Man" will premiere for the first time at midnight on Friday, November 11.
Both Disney and Wang Shang have great expectations for it.
