Chapter 507: Preparation Before the Leap
"Mr. Qin." In the room, there were only two people left, and James pondered his words for a long time before he said solemnly: "If you are like this, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the Big Five." ”
"Why?" Qin Yuanfeng lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Now, what I want is the market and the box office." Our approach adds so much attention. It's a great thing for Disney as the publisher. James, I don't want to remind you that what you're doing now is not in line with your company's original intentions. ”
"We can use special effects!" Qin Yuanfeng's tone was not good, but James didn't talk back at all, he knew too well what the other party was holding in his hands, maybe in Warner, Universal, and the Qin Dynasty would not be so fearless, but it was Disney, the president's office was smashed, and Michael endured it.
"Mr. Qin......" He took a deep breath: "We can use special effects, it is more cost-effective and more convenient." Although the cycle is longer, there is no danger. ”
"Yes, the White House can borrow movies in the United States, and the Twin Towers are absolutely fine as long as you can afford to pay for them. I've seen your shooting techniques, and the danger factor is very small. However, this leaves us completely exposed. We can't afford to dig deep into the Big Five! ”
Qin Yuanfeng leisurely flicked the cigarette butt lightly and looked at James: "And then?" ”
James was stunned, not understanding.
"What are you afraid of?" Qin Yuanfeng sneered and looked at the other party: "You don't know what Lianmei represents?" In the United States, theaters and theaters are counted separately! The reason why I don't want others to know about it in the first place is because we don't have a theater in our hands! The existence of the anti-monopoly law has left Hollywood with only the Big Six and no trusts! Cinemas and cinemas are always in a relationship of checks and balances! ”
He looked at James deeply, and his voice became louder and louder: "Before there is no theater, I won't announce it because they can contact the theater to block our movie!" Now we have a new cinema in our hands! That's the bargaining chip with the other Big Five! That's the dollar! That's what makes the devil kneel! Will they push outside? Yes, they were worried about the Qin Dynasty's entry into Hollywood. However, the Qin Dynasty may invest hundreds of millions of dollars a year to make movies? Our main business is games, I can take out 100 million, 200 million a year, what about others? 400 million, 500 million! ”
"Our little asset can't afford to make a big storm in Hollywood! In the absence of interest, they can block us without any scruples. But with benefits, they will? How dare they? The Qin Dynasty still has thousands of employees in Lianmei, and I am still managing their insurance salaries! If they dare to block, I will fucking let them all get out of the way, and sue them for losing their jobs because of unfair competition! Let them play with the Federation of Labor and the Big Five by themselves! ”
His voice was so loud that it shook the room, and James was stunned and looked at Qin Yuanfeng in a daze.
This one looks so young Chinese...... The heart is actually more ruthless than Michael!
"Also...... Can it be like this? He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and suddenly said hurriedly: "You are hyping up the publicity, just because they are reluctant to give up the profits of the theater, even if they find out, they are not willing to tear their faces?" So hype up the momentum now? ”
"We're a lot late." Qin Yuanfeng snorted and frowned: "There are many blockbusters this year, and if we want to make a profit, we must stir up attention." Movies, even if I know, are four parts quality and six points hype. Other movies are already ahead of the curve, and you think I don't know how computer special effects save money? Am I an idiot? Ten million dollars for me to shoot live? And it's just money paid to the government! Am I sick? ”
"We only have five months, which is much, much later than others. There is no special way to increase attention, and such a large investment in the summer vacation schedule is waiting to be wasted? Who will collect the investment of the Qin Dynasty? Who does I get my money from for my game? ”
"Prepare for the launch." He had a firm gaze: "Two weeks later, the film officially started filming, and a press conference was held at the same time. It is not convenient for me to attend in person, there will be other people from the Qin Dynasty to preside, and only in this unprecedented way can I ensure the success of this film. Make sure all viewers are firmly engaged with us from the start! ”
Two weeks came quickly, and when the two CEOs focused on one thing together, the efficiency of the work was unbelievably fast.
"It cost $55 million, which is much less than I expected." In the office, Qin Yuanfeng, Wu Yusen, Zhou Yanfa, Leslie Cheung, KISS Group, Zhong Han, Hua Fuying, Michael, James, and several heads of Disney's logistics, props, and photography crews are all sitting on both sides of a long conference table. Everyone's face has a solemn expression.
Any film, especially a large investment of tens of millions, no matter what company, must be cautious.
"On April 5, it officially started shooting in New York." Qin Yuanfeng looked at the pile of materials spread out on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I will come to the scene to preside over it in person." Michael? ”
"Of course I will." Michael's small eyes gave him a decisive look: "From beginning to end...... I'll be there in person! ”
"Zhong Han, what's the news from the New York City government?"
"A receipt has been sent back, for the sake of safety, this time it is set on the top floor, towed by four military helicopters, there is no one on the car, and below the top floor, a protective belt equal to the width and length of the building is arranged every fifteen floors, spanning between the two buildings to prevent accidents for vehicles." Zhong Han thought for a while: "The helicopter is falsely hanging the car, moving forward at full speed according to the channel of the car, letting it move forward with its own momentum, once it falls halfway, immediately the four slings can hold the car steadily, the four corners are supported, the force is evenly spread, and it will never be pulled down." Even if the sling is unhooked, there are five or six layers of protective belts intertwined with steel wire and cotton underneath. There is also a ten-meter-thick soft layer of air cushion at the bottom, which is basically foolproof! ”
"The city's spending report is also out." Hua Fuying took out the newly collected information and put it on the table: "Two million were used for protective measures, one million were used for rent, and the renovation of the floors, every three floors were opened into one floor, which was 1.5 million, and the cost of repairs afterwards was 2 million, and the personnel transfer, fire, police force transfer, and law and order maintenance were 1.5 million." They netted two million dollars. ”
Qin Yuanfeng nodded: "What about the media?" ”
"The channels used are Shaw Brothers, basically well-known newspapers and magazines in Hollywood, and several major TV stations that are closely related to Hollywood will have reporters, and there will be radio connections."
"What about the game?"
"We hired professional racing drivers to design the track, and Mr. Yokoi sent people to study at several major car companies, and these are professional drivers who are very sensitive to the car and strive to design the car that is as close to reality as possible." Zhong Han said: "We are in contact with the main street halls in the United States, and we are ready to strive for all the arcades in the top ten cities in the United States to become our outlets temporarily. According to the plan, when the movie premieres, for a week, there will be an arcade hall downstairs in cooperation with us. In Shanghai, the art team is working on a large poster of Need for Speed. ”
"In addition, the genealogy of Fire Emblem 2 Holy War, Mr. Kaga, after eight months of development and two months of testing, has been completed, and now it has entered the release process, and Mr. Kaga has turned to the Reversal Judge series. Next month, Namco will release a sequel to last year's critically acclaimed Final Fantasy. There is also a Pac-Man handheld version. Several companies such as Konami and TECMO have new works on sale. The last good news, Pokemon has officially exceeded 13 million copies, and sales have slowed down, but if this momentum continues, this year's Pokemon will break the Super Mario sales record! ”
When Hua Fuying heard this, he took out a piece of information: "This is the sales table of its four core lineups in the first quarter and 20 franchised third parties. There are also Poke Balls on the information, and the copyright of the pocket cartoon was sold in March, including Japan's Osaka TV, Kyushu TV, and Shikoku TV. The increase is very considerable, and the shock wave of the surrounding market has begun to be generated. The company estimates that it will reach its peak in June, and is preparing for a celebration of gratitude that will exceed 15 million by then. ”
Michael, James' eyes were red when he heard this.
Pockets...... Who doesn't know? They knew better why Qin Yuanfeng was saying this at this time.
When things come to an end, you need to be bold, and the Qin Dynasty is showing its strength. Warning Disney never to have two hearts, Super Mario's status is already in jeopardy, fifteen million copies, excluding last year's seven million copies, this has determined more than 160 million benefits! With the start of the quarterly settlement, the cash registers of the Qin Dynasty may be exhausted by several units.
Disney is a cow, but when it comes to video entertainment, it's nothing. Blocking that shot for Sony cut off the way for Nintendo and Sega, and now let it in, it depends on whether the Qin Dynasty is happy or not.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. Disney does what it says! This time, let's go all out! Even under the pressure of the Big Five, this movie is bound to be released! Michael said categorically.
"If the talks aren't over by then, we'll go to AMC! Even if you tear your face with other companies! I don't believe that we are putting on a posture of fighting to the end, AMC dares not to consider our attitude! ”
Qin Yuanfeng nodded and stood up: "Everyone, I won't say much else." Fast & Furious, we are much later than other blockbusters announced after Christmas, and in order to make a profit, in order for the Qin dynasty to gain a foothold in Hollywood, we have to resort to this extreme approach. However, I can guarantee that the Petronas Twin Towers will be proud to have filmed fast and furious in the end! And flying over the Petronas Twin Towers will become the symbol of Fast and Furious in every future installment! In each of them, there will be a world-famous building that will be leaped over! From New York, to Tokyo, to Dubai. ”
His voice was not high, but everyone's hearts were boiling when they heard it.
It's still a set...... And every one of them has this kind of super lens, and what it holds up is not only a series, but also a famous game, a superstar, and a famous director!
Michael's lips twitched twice, and he knew it completely that the Qin Dynasty was not going to enter vigorously now, but to bury this nail, and then pierce Hollywood little by little!
"Each performs its duties and treats it solemnly, this matter is the second base of the Qin Dynasty in addition to the game, and this operation must not be wrong." Qin Yuanfeng took a deep breath and slapped the table: "On April 5th, the Qin Dynasty will let everyone remember this day completely!" ”
