Chapter 746: It's not money that is willful
Thirty million, dollars.
This is the amount of additional investment, Smith feels that the world is too crazy, so crazy that he can't see it clearly, and there is no reason not to ask, but these investors didn't ask anything, and after knowing that this was Yang Yichen's will, he didn't say a word, and made additional investment.
Trust, coupled with the community of interests, makes this seemingly unbelievable thing happen, trust is the foundation, and outside of trust is their recognition of Yang Yichen's ability to make money, in other words, this level of additional investment has not touched the bottom line of their recognition of Yang Yichen's ability to make money, so they happily agreed to make additional investment, and there is no need to ask the reason.
Money is easy to do, in the United States is almost no money can not do things, in the double efforts of Smith and the lobbying company, the results are quite fruitful, the people behind the old plot, even if the eight sides of the hands and eyes are all over the sky, Tiandi Media has taken out all the connections, but in this America is not as good as Smith like the head snake, in this circle for so many years, too many things he is clear, want to do it, not only spend less money than Tiandi Media, the effect is better than them, now the funds in hand are abundant, Naturally, it is twice the result with half the effort, not that there has been no greed, but when I think of Crow and Meiren, thinking of Zhang Qingxin, and thinking of Yang Yichen who I have observed, that bit of greed is not worth it, and more importantly, he sees the signs of a separate listing of the North American branch in the future, with Yang Yichen's love for the old employees, the probability of getting the original shares is very high, which also makes Smith full of a sense of belonging to this company.
That bit of greed quickly disappeared and I concentrated on my work. But in the process of doing things, he was not stingy or too greedy in terms of food, clothing and housing. It's okay to be in the middle, and it's all reimbursed anyway. He did it just because he didn't want the company to think he was squandering his money.
If you dare to steal my screen, then be ready to be counterattacked by me, and you won't play the next game, and you will have a show with you in a dignified manner, and you will be overwhelming in China, then I will teach you how to be a person in Hollywood.
Publicity, I will give you a way out, let your propaganda be known by everyone, and see how you are abandoned by the audience here after you reach your feet. Now, just to let you know that we have enough strength to play. The number of screens that was originally reduced to 2,500 screens has surged to 4,000 screens under Smith's operation, covering the number of screens in "Jinling Thirteen - Hairpin" to a certain extent. It's already a very scary number, and in the North American market, it's already a very impressive number for non-super-blockbuster blockbusters.
What Yang Yichen did was not to suppress Lao Mouzi's new film. He just responded to the arrogant behavior of Tiandi Media, if you dare to do anything with me, I will definitely fight back against you. Don't hurt you, next time you will show off your power in front of me, don't think that I can't compete with you in the domestic market. It's just up to the audience to judge for themselves which film to watch. Let everyone see how much you can suppress my "Twilight" in the end with so many resources, and in the North American market, I will also put on a corresponding position, and let you see how much my "Twilight" will press you "Jinling Thirteen - Haipin".
At a deeper level, Yang Yichen also has the meaning of setting a trap for the other party, I didn't make a dead move, I left room for it, do you dare to come up, continue to compete with me, if you dare to come, then I will give you a stage to show your heart's content, how much money you dare to spend, I will dare to take as many steps back, and even give you the mainstream market in North America during that schedule.
What can fight is just the number of screens for the premiere, you have to be willing to continue to spend money, no problem, the limelight before the release of your film is stronger than mine, I admit it, of course, you have to pay the corresponding price, just like when I played with Juli Group, if you can afford to spend money, I will give you the limelight, let you take the lead, and become an upcoming Chinese film known to the whole world.
If you want to enter, Yang Yichen firmly believes that this film is destined to be difficult to reconcile tastes, and continues the style that Lao Mouzi has always wanted to reconcile China and the West but has never been able to achieve his wishes, and invited a Hollywood star to participate in a film that is all Chinese, no matter how ambitious and ambitious you Lao Mouzi is, you will lose first, in your base camp, in the land of Huaxia, there is a little less expectation for this film in the first place, and many viewers will directly scold.
But Yang Yichen is not the only one who has been attacked by those strong nationalists, the angry young people don't care who you are, you are always a foreigner, and you are also abusing you, why did you find a foreigner to be the leading actor, do we have no one in China? We have no opinion if you want to impact Hollywood, you can also hire foreign actors, but you must at least have the same style as Yang Yichen, I can use anything from abroad, but the core No. 1 role in the play must be our own thing, and now you even use outsiders for the core male number one in the play, so who is your film for, only rely on those cheongsam women, or rely on a group of soldiers to attract attention.
Since you think you can reconcile, then I will cooperate with you, so that you can really come up with the craziest publicity, the higher you stand, the more painful you will fall in the future.
I'll smash it down with 30 million US dollars, whether it's your old mouzi or Tiandi Media, if you want to play, then take out 60 million, shut up if you don't have the courage, shut up if you have the courage, and then watch you dig a pit and bury yourself, 60 million US dollars thrown down, you don't have 300 million US dollars in the world for this film, you are simply losing money, you can get close to 40% of the box office share in China, but when you go abroad, less than 20% of the share will make your investment need more income to return to the cost.
With normal business competition, at this moment, Yang Yichen has won completely, and it should exceed the total investment of the other party, so what are you playing, but in the current form, Yang Yichen just wants the other party not to play according to commercial competition, you Tiandi Media bowed your head once before because of helplessness, and now you are a joint film and television company that gathers several large companies, can you still lose face? Once again, I was slapped in the face, can you still have the face to continue to say that you want to create miracles in this industry? Don't play other means, this time I stand on the top of the word, it is you who provoke me first, I challenge me first, I just use normal commercial means to compete with you.
Is $30 million an unethical business competition?
Don't make a fuss, I'm rich, I'm so capricious, what else do you have to say, if you want to be rich, you can play like this, I didn't break the rules of the industry, and the cost of publicity in Hollywood abounds more than the cost of production, why, do you still look at the changes in the art world with the previous small-scale peasant thinking?
No matter from any angle, Tiandi Media has no retreat, Lao Mouzi himself admitted that the box office with such expectations is set too high, and it is not recommended to compete for the length of the moment, although the outside world says that this film is to impact the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but in fact, Lao Mouzi himself knows in his heart that the top priority of the box office is still in China, even if he wins the award for the best foreign language film, the influence he can get in the North American market is limited, and the possibility of stimulating the box office again is not too big, and investing so much money is not promoting the movie, It can only be said that it is vindictive, and if there is a slight difference, no one can afford the price.
A purely Western film made by Hollywood with a Chinese actor as the leading actor.
A pure oriental film made in China that uses Hollywood actors as the leading actors.
Such a stark contrast between the two films, there should not be any intersection, whether it is the genre, the main direction of attack or the final thing you want to get are different, but because of various artificial reasons, after Yang Yichen waited for a day, "Jinling Thirteen - Hairpin" re-energized, and really took out a more ferocious offensive than the brother group, investing at least 50 million US dollars, all of which were smashed into publicity, public relations, etc., and strive to let people all over the world know that there is such a Chinese film to land at the end of July. Let them hear the name is "Jinling Thirteen - Hairpin", not "Twilight - Twilight", the attitude is very clear, don't think that you are the only Yang Yichen who dares to throw money in this circle, a media company jointly made by several listed companies, there must always be a battle for no reason just to make a name.
It was depressing enough to be made by the brother group, and now when this opportunity came, it was already reported that he was going to lose some money, the purpose was to completely make a name for himself, and also to teach the brother group and Yang Yichen a lesson, telling him not to be too crazy, you are not the only rich person in this world, and your little background is not enough to show off your power in front of us.
"We're waiting?"
"We'll wait."
In the same way, Zhang Qingxin had a little dissuasion question, he was afraid that Yang Yichen would fight if he insisted on going his own way.
In the same words, Yang Yichen is in a state of waiting for a good show to be staged, he has already made up his mind, not afraid of paying, but he just thinks that watching the play like this to the final result is destined to be extraordinarily enjoyable, even more enjoyable than fighting with them and winning in the end, because he is the only one in the world who knows that this is a film that is destined to thunder and rain little, although it can be deliberately arranged and covered up, so that most people think that it does not scold much, but it cannot cover up that it is destined to fail to meet the expected standard of box office.
Don't look at its box office in the eyes of ordinary people, it is more than 100 million, it is a single-week box office champion, and it is a rare blockbuster in China back then, but all kinds of praise words can't hide the fundamental problem, that is, this is not a foreign thing, it is really boring to look at it carefully, it is not enough to shoulder everyone's expectations of him, and it is not enough for more people to continue to walk into the cinema after giving a good reputation, and after watching it again, in the end, there are only those graceful figures and a series of tense plots that I don't know what to call them.
