Chapter 568: This Time Is Different From The Past
"You don't have to squeeze, our Storm Comics company has just opened, and currently only the first comic of "Spider-Man" is ..... sheet
"Yes, the first picture is that Peter Wang was bitten by a spider, and it was filmed in the movie, but there are some discrepancies between the comics and the movies, and the world of "Spider-Man" in the comics is bigger than in the movies, and there will be more characters......
"At the moment, it's about one drawing a week, and we've made a very simple manga website ourselves.....
In addition to "Spider-Man", "Wolverine" and other superhero comics on the comic website, there are other comics, we are very welcome to come and contribute, if the number of hits and readings on the Internet is good, we will consider publishing, or by the famous director and screenwriter of Huaxing together adapted into a movie, put on the big screen S
"Don't squeeze everyone, there is only the first drawing of "Spider-Man" at present, however, the "Slam Dunk" comic and animation are already being produced simultaneously, and the animated version is exclusively premiered by Soku Video website.....
With an old classmate like Zhou Yang, the general feeling is pain and happiness.
On the Monday after Zhou Yang's video speech ended, Zhang Xiaoya had just installed the sign of "Storm Anime" when she saw a large group of people surrounding her
has the experience of a reporter in the entertainment industry, Zhang Xiaoya was not very nervous in the face of sudden netizens and fans, and said a lot about the plan of "Storm Anime" in the crowd very calmly
But answering these questions from the onlookers over and over again still made Zhang Xiaoya feel very tired.
It was busy until noon, and when the people finally dispersed a little, she reluctantly sat down in the chair and drank a sip of water.
"I didn't expect so many people to come at once, Mr. Zhang, your English is really good......" Next to him, Liu Qing, the person in charge of the manuscript of the comics department who had just come from Huaxia, wiped his sweat and sighed sincerely.
"It's okay, otherwise, how could I come to Lao Mei without a translator ......" When I was studying before, Zhang Xiaoya was very interested in foreign languages, and later although she experienced some twists and turns in the circle, her spoken English did not fall, this time she came to Lao Mei, Zhang Xiaoya was naturally very proud in her heart.
"However, Mr. Zhou is also really powerful...... By the way, Mr. Zhang, I just received a call from Huaxia, Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue said that the first five paintings of the "Slam Dunk" comic have been drawn, and after polishing, I plan to test the water with the first drawing on the official website of "Storm Anime", but I still have no bottom in my heart.....
It's okay, Mr. Zhou told me a few days ago that don't think about making money in the first year, let's talk about improving reputation first
.....
Zhang Xiaoya then chatted with Liu Qing about the general content of the first painting of "Spider-Man", and personally interviewed a few students who had just come from Huaxia and dreamed of becoming "cartoonists", then returned to her independent work area and began to open the official website of "Storm Anime".
In fact, the official website of "Storm Anime" already had a plan when it was "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year", but at that time, except for "That Rabbit", there were no projects that could be handled.
Isn't that?
Later, after "Spider-Man" became completely popular in China, Zhou Yang put this plan on the agenda again, and personally chatted with Xue Ning, Zhang Xiaoya and others about some well-known comic projects.
At first, the two didn't care, but when some manga projects, such as "Naruto", "Pirates", "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", and other stories were told, the two felt like their heads were buzzing.
Not to mention whether these comics can be popular or not, and what will happen to the story in the future, but the dazzling comic plot shocked Zhang Xiaoya, and she wanted to open Zhou Yang's brain several times to see what was hidden inside
"Perhaps, it won't be long before the whole era will dance because of him."
After looking at the few comic projects on the official website of "Storm Anime", the simple pages looked insignificant, Zhang Xiaoya suddenly sighed from the bottom of her heart.
[Oh my God, this person is so bold that he directly argues with the DV company!]
[He's crazy, isn't he?] This is really a madman, "Spider-Man" is just one game, and "Spider-Man" doesn't have much box office in Tomei, so he dares to directly fight with DV companies for superheroes?]
[A movie can't be judged from the box office.]
Bad!] [But the box office determines the essence of a movie, doesn't it?]
[Then "King Kong Tiger" is now being pressed and beaten by "Spider-Man" at the Chinese box office? ] What do you say?]
[Damn, everyone knows that this guy Zhou Yang is a character who covers the sky in China...... how can "King Kong Tiger" compare!]
[And what about the box office in North America other than the United States?] Have you seen today's box office? "Spider-Man" has exceeded 10 million at the box office in North America, although there is not 10 million in the United States, but because the four major theaters have not given "Spider-Man" many films, if "Spider-Man" is a movie under the DV company, how can it be DV company's movie, than?]
[Yes, there are only a few theaters in the whole of Los Angeles that have "Spider-Man" lined up, and there are not a few films yet, they have been released for more than ten days, and they are still full every day!] I couldn't even get a seat! I've always heard people say how optimistic "Spider-Man" is, but I've never seen it, and I strongly urge theaters to schedule more films!]
July 5th.
"Spider-Man" is getting higher and higher at the box office, and its influence has begun to explode.
On the major social networking sites in the United States, DV companies and some people in Hollywood wanted to suppress it, but found that they couldn't hold it down at all.
Lots of netizens began to discuss on their social media how hard to buy tickets for "Spider-Man" and how much they wanted to see it.....
Fans who watched "Spider-Man" received rave reviews, and even the ratings given suppressed "King Kong Tiger".
Under this increasingly lively general trend, some media and capital that were originally completely closed to "Spider-Man" began to gradually loosen.
Even on the evening of July 5, everyone found out that the American movie network, which had blocked "Spider-Man", began to re-list the "Spider-Man" project and re-rated it.
The furious DV executives immediately greeted the senior management of the American Movie Network, but they heard that the senior management of the American Movie Network was very helpless and even speechless.
"Have you ever heard of the movie home?
"In just ten days, the daily visits of the movie house have increased from thousands to tens of thousands, and these tens of thousands of active people have all passed from the American movie network!"
"Privately, our own movie network began to be complained by users about all kinds of unfair, shady, and black-box operations.....
"Dude, if "Spider-Man" can really be suppressed, "Spider-Man" will be forgotten, but you have been pressing for a long time, and it will become popular in North America.....
"The other day, the leaders of AMD talked to me together...... They see the potential of "Spider-Man" and are considering buying the rights to screen "Spider-Man.....
"They're still complaining, saying that 'Spider-Man' is obviously a money-making movie, and you have made a lot of money for them, and they have made a lot of money in theaters in North America except the United States!"
"And superhero movies are not exclusive to you, you can shoot them and others can shoot them!"
.....
Capital is very realistic.
They can briefly unite together for the sake of interests and the so-called friendship in the past, and block it. feeling
However, when they realize that the so-called blockade will not cause them much benefit, but will make them lose benefits, they will shamelessly tear apart the so-called disguise.
The director of "King Kong Tiger" heard Tony. Auman, this conversation, and when he learned that AMD theaters were ready to contact Zhou Yang and prepare to get "Spider-Man", his face was furrowed, and he realized that after the film projection rights, following the loss of North America, the fast seal of the American base camp area is about to be unblocked!
A terrible strangulation will begin from here.....
And he had to face the most brutal of his career. Also the most powerless moment!
He immediately found the top management and the head of the marketing department of DV and began to discuss countermeasures anxiously.
In the middle of the meeting, instead of discussing appropriate countermeasures, they heard another piece of news.
In the following July, they will not only face the siege of "Spider-Man", but also a movie called "Crane the Sorcerer" will be released.
This is a blockbuster film in which Warner Bros. invested close to $300 million, and Warner Bros. is ready to spend a lot of money and get ready to promote the film well......
......
The movie "Spider-Man" has laid an extremely deep foundation for Zhou Yang's future direction.
also let Huaxing's former predicament be unsealed again
Delaware.
"Hello Mr. Zhou Yang, I'm Karin from AMD Cinemas, we have been in contact, I am very sorry for the previous no-show, this time, I came with full sincerity......
Zhou Yang made a cup of tea and looked at the tall Western woman in front of him.
Zhou Yang took a look and compared it a little, his figure was about the same as An Xiao, but he was not as beautiful as An Xiao.
But....
But there is an invisible mature charm, especially when laughing, there is a sense of fox charm, which makes people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
Her name is Karin and she is a product manager for AMD Cinemas.
On the eve of the release of "Spider-Man", she personally contacted herself and said that she wanted to buy the screening rights of "Spider-Man".
At that time, the chat in all aspects was relatively pleasant, and just when the electronic contract was about to be signed, she suddenly announced that she would not buy it for the time being.
At that time, Zhou Yang was stunned, but then expressed understanding.
Hollywood really wants to completely block itself.
"Hello, Miss Karin, is the contract the same as the previous one?"
"Yes!
"I'm afraid not anymore!"
"Huh? What is going on?
"Divided! The original division of "Spider-Man" was ***, six of you, four of us, but, now, this price is not good!"
"What!"
Zhou Yang looked at Karin, and was not confused by Karin's smile, but slowly made a cup of tea, revealing a smile: "It's different now, you have a cup of tea first, and we'll talk slowly...... Oh, sorry, I'll take the phone first...... Regal Cinemas seems to have called me as well....
