Chapter 31 North American Results

Uh, Xudong is on vacation again!

Explanation: Kanjing went...

for the upcoming filming of "Total War 2";

Actually, it's just going out to wave...

Because the location of "Total War 2" has long been determined, a section of Wolongling, Zhangjiajie... Photographers and special effects artists have been arranged to shoot the footage!

It's impossible to really go to the local area to shoot...

It's not a real shot, it's just a background conversion - a land of mountains and seas!

Real shots?

He can't find any divine beasts like Divine Dragons and Chaos...

The filming of Total War was a completely industrial process...

At the request of Shen Xudong, the photographers exchanged and compared their shooting logs, and also used the PIX system online sample platform to preview each other's samples through a secure connection, making "Total War" a super cooperative and interconnected masterpiece.

Well, this was first used in the "Three Kingdoms" shooting team...

"Three Kingdoms" has been forced out of five seasons, each season has a bunch of big scenes, at first it was filmed by three groups, and then expanded to five, and then it was simply filmed by seven groups...

It's important that the style of the material is consistent!

No two photographers in the world have exactly the same style, but they are able to work together as a close-knit team with enough communication and co-working to capture footage that is visually very similar...

How can we be similar?

References to the PIX System Online Sampling Platform!

It's expensive...

But it does work.

Insert a sentence, PPTV's "Three Kingdoms" TV series has a great influence and has almost become a star film, except for the Asian market, European copyrights, SKY TV stations exclusively bought them, and North American rights were sold to AMC...

Why not sell to Netflix?

In essence, PPTV and Netflix are competitors...

It's just that PPTV dominates the Asian market, and Netflix is based in the European and American markets, and is entering the Asian market...

By the way, PPTV has almost made South Korea a foundry, Netflix doesn't really want to confront PPTV head-on at this stage, they are entering Asia, and the main focus is the Japanese benzene market...

pulled back, Shen Xudong originally planned to go to New Zealand for half a month, wait for the rumors of "The Wandering Earth" to stop, and then come back.

Well, that's what he was going to do, but before he left, he suddenly received a call from Mencius...

It was Meng Ziyi, and the girl told him that she had arrived in Luzhou...

There was no way, Shen Xudong had to take her with him.

A trip for two people cannot be considered a vacation.

Shen Xudong has always felt that taking a vacation is a very personal matter.

Going out to play alone is called traveling;

Three or five people go out to play, called the same tour;

A group of people go out to play, called socializing...

But if it is two people, if there is no considerable emotional foundation and trust, it is best to surf the Internet at home...

Shen Xudong felt that he had not yet established a relationship foundation, so he did not go on vacation or go back to BJ, but took her to New Zealand...

After a few days of life day and night...

It's really day and night.

Well, the three-day love is in the book...

On the fourth day, Shen Xudong couldn't bear it anymore, and after overflowing with his face again, Yizheng refused her the opportunity to show her eloquence: "Let's talk for a while, indulging in men and women will only make people more and more depraved... Why don't you care about your future at all? If you have any confusion about the future, you can ask me! ”

In other words: not a drop left!

He's really not a perpetual motion machine!

Fishing should also take the sustainable route, and the current little girl is too ruthless.

Mencius gave him a blank look: "... Are you tired? ”

"Let's talk about things," Shen Xudong continued to open the topic: "What plans do you have for your career and what expectations you have for the future, you can talk to me~"

Mencius ignored him: "You said before that you wanted to educate me..."

Educate?

Meng Ziyi said what Shen Xudong said when he pretended to be forced on the first day of meeting...

"That's it?"

"That's right!" Meng Ziyi's expression was very serious: "In other aspects, I can lose, this is not good!" ”

Shen Xudong also came angry: "You wait a while! ”

"What? Medicine? ”

“… Do I still need to take medicine against you? I'm not afraid to blow it with you, I've tried to hit ten before! ”

"Then why are you scared now?"

"I'm afraid?" Shen Xudong gritted his teeth: "Then come again..."

Sacrifice your life for righteousness!

The good news is that she still has to go to school, and on the thirteenth day of the first month, the two of them will return to China;

The bad news: three days to go!

……

If "Total War" still learns the Hollywood process and takes the path of borrowing a boat to go to sea, "The Wandering Earth" is purely produced and distributed by TiMi...

The appearance of "The Wandering Earth" made Hollywood vigilant...

This shows that the Chinese film industry has the strength and potential to make a name for itself on a global scale.

This is already in competition with them!

But... Limited by its distribution capacity, "The Wandering Earth" has not landed in developed countries and regions, and is more likely to be released simultaneously in Asia.

There is no way to do this, to build a global distribution network, in addition to throwing money, you also need contacts and a stable source of films...

The most important thing is: you have to consistently produce content that is interesting to your audience at the time!

Otherwise, even if you open up the theater chain and there is no audience to pay, it will be difficult for you to sustain this business!

Hollywood has the ability to do global distribution, and in addition to the film itself, they also have a lot of media power at their disposal as well as... The most important thing is the global cultural influence of Lao Mei!

Chinese films are more embarrassing, even TiMi Media has not been able to get the European distribution, and many movies still have to rely on MK2's distribution system...

In the world's largest North American market, Chinese films are basically only DVD business, and the Chinese films that are sporadically active in theaters are distributed by local companies, and most of them are art labels owned by the six major Hollywood studios.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is from a Sony classic, "Hero" is from Miramax, and "The Grandmaster" was released in 2013 by the now-bankrupt Weinstein Pictures.

For example, in 2005, Kung Fu earned $17 million in North America through 2,503 screens through the operation of Sony's Columbia Pictures Hong Kong office.

Well, the record holder for the lowest opening of 2,500 screens in North American film history...

However, Hollywood did have the meaning of treating Chinese filmmakers as foundries...

Thanks to "Boundless", let this plan go bankrupt...

Pulled back, Warner refused the distribution of "The Wandering Earth", and Shen Xudong came forward to find Universal and gave a profit of 2%, so that Universal agreed to open 500 screens...

This situation is already more than ten times better than the original plane!

In the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" was released in North America, and only 34 were arranged at the beginning, and there were only 129 at the peak, and the film was not scheduled at all...

This thing, if you want to say suppression, it's actually not counting...

The North American projection association is for those big companies — it's responsible for grading films and coordinating with the big studios.

If you want to do a large-scale release in North America, you need to have the endorsement of a large company, then classify, then talk about account sharing, and then coordinate the film company and the theater chain...

It's not like you can buy it...

Unless you go through the small-scale screening channel, that... The Screening Association will turn a blind eye and will not care about you!

"The Wandering Earth" has the endorsement of Universal - $1.5 million + in the form of account sharing...

got a PG-13 rating, the box office was not bad, and he won $7.18 million in 6 days...

According to the forecast, $20 million is not a problem!

The biggest advantage of the North American release is that the global distribution is very smooth, and it is solved!
