"Three thousand Spartan warriors!"

As soon as she saw this name, Lin Ziyi couldn't help but be happy.

"I said, you are too good at touching porcelain this time, even if the audience is prepared, it is estimated that it will be difficult to distinguish when watching the movie."

Xu Nan smiled but said nothing.

The name is indeed too similar to the original.

The text on the side of the United States is letters, and sometimes the meaning of one less letter may be completely different, and even the eight poles can't be hit.

Take "The Hobbit" and "The Hobbit Era" as examples, do you think Xu Nan doesn't want to take a name like "The Hobbit Eight" or "The Hobbit Enters"?

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't do it, and if he chooses a similar name, the final result will be a world of different meanings.

Huaxia is hieroglyphics, and the audience mainly looks at the glyphs, but the rice side is the letters, and the audience looks at the meaning of the words, so the names are similar, but the meanings are similar.

But "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" is different.

The name of the original movie is "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", where the word "three hundred" is three hunderd, which means three hundred, and three thousand in English is three thousand, which means three thousand.

The difference between the names of the two movies is just one word, whether it is the name or the meaning, they are extremely similar, and they can almost be compared with "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" and "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival".

These two movies are placed in the theater together, even if the audience is prepared, it is difficult to distinguish clearly, not to mention that the audience in the United States itself is very nervous, and it is very likely that even if you pick it carefully, you will still watch the wrong movie in the end.

If this happens, the audience's mood will definitely collapse.

But.

The audience collapses or not, what does it matter to him, the copycat touches the porcelain piece by touching the porcelain, and the more similar it is to the original movie, the easier it is to succeed.

Opposite, Lin Ziyi began to read the script.

"Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" also tells the story of Sparta, but many of the plots in it are relatively nonsensical, but the main line is very clear, that is, the story of a Spartan who became the king of the Spartans and finally defeated the Persian invasion.

With the precedents of "The Hobbit Age" and "Atlantic Rim" ahead, Lin Ziyi is very optimistic about the prospects of this movie.

"The movie is fine, when will it be released?" Lin Ziyi asked.

Xu Nan smiled: "I want to release it on the same day as "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". ”

"Released on the same day." Lin Ziyi frowned slightly: "Didn't you say last time that copycat porcelain movies are best released ten days to a week before the genuine movie, so that you can maximize the publicity of the genuine movie to grab the box office?" ”

Xu Nan said vaguely: "There is a reason this time, I have a good idea for publicity, and I need this movie and the genuine movie to be released at the same time." ”

Lin Ziyi didn't mean to ask more, and said after being silent for a while: "It may be a little troublesome in terms of film scheduling, I was a little nervous about scheduling films that day, and there are a lot of movies to arrange." ”

Xu Nan's mind flashed: ""Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" agreed to give the emperor cinema a share? ”

Lin Ziyi nodded.

Xu Nan frowned, but he was not too surprised.

The film schedule of the theater has a fatal impact on the box office of a movie, and it was because Shenhua Group had just acquired the Imperial Cinema Line, and outsiders were suppressed, so there was a matter of not giving the share of the Imperial Cinema Line to large-budget films.

In fact, this situation is very abnormal, the theater chain is in the upper echelon of the industry, and it naturally suppresses the film producer, that is, Lin Ziyi is new to the scene, so she will encounter this situation.

Now that Lin Ziyi has gained a firm foothold in the United States, and she also has most of the power of the Imperial Cinema Line, she can affect the box office of a movie by adjusting the schedule of the movie.

In this case, the big-budget movies still don't give the emperor cinema a share, that is, they are really stunned, they can't see the situation clearly, and they deserve to suffer.

But in this way, Xu Nan's situation is embarrassing, he touches porcelain with a copycat, and what to use to compete with big-budget movies.

may be less than 5% of the total box office of his entire movie, in this case, it is naturally very weak to fight for film scheduling.

Fortunately, the cost of copycat porcelain is low, and fortunately, there are overseas box office and streaming media rights, otherwise he would really be blind.

"Don't worry, no matter what, I have 30% of the shares of Nanhai Film and Television, even if it is squeezed, I will squeeze out a part of the film schedule for you." Lin Ziyi comforted: "In addition, AMC said that you can release your copycat porcelain, but you need to give them concessions in terms of sharing." ”

"AMC, the AMC of the three major theater chains in the United States?" Xu Nan's eyes lit up.

AMC is one of the three major cinema companies in the United States, and the number of theaters under its umbrella will only be more than that of Emperor Cinemas, not less than Emperor Cinemas, and it is too good for him that such a large cinema chain is willing to play his movies.

"Yes." Lin Ziyi nodded: "Recently, the copycat porcelain piece has been brought to fire by you, and companies in the industry are shooting, and even the companies under the three major cinema chains are following suit, AMC Cinemas thinks that it is better to sit back and enjoy the results than to shoot it yourself, so I asked you to contact you." ”

Xu Nan is very pleased, this side of the rice country is really suitable for copycats to touch porcelain tiles, as long as you open an opening, a trend will be formed immediately.

Of course, he also knows that AMC agrees to the release of his movie, which does not mean that he will be given a lot of films.

His copycat touches porcelain pieces, at most, as a supplement, enriching the film library of the theater, allowing the audience to have more choices, and that's it, he needs to pay more as a price.

But even that is enough.

is still the same sentence, as long as the cost is low enough, there is no fear of losing money at all.

Even if the box office loses money, there are still overseas box offices, as well as streaming media rights and video tape rights.

Making money is for sure, it's nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.

"That's good news." Xu Nan nodded: "The two major theaters in the United States support it, and the names are so similar, the box office of this movie must not be low." ”

"It seems that I want to use more dim sum on filming, and try to improve the quality a little bit."

Lin Ziyi couldn't hold back: "People are watching people put down dishes, you are watching the theater chain to support the dishes, and seeing that there are two major theaters supporting it, I decided to improve the quality of the movie a little, and you made a movie before to deal with it purely, right?" ”

"yes." Xu Nan nodded as a matter of course: "How high do you want to ask for the cottage porcelain?" Again, this is not a big production. ”

"A little work ethic, okay?" Lin Ziyi held her forehead: "Aren't you worried about the collapse of movie quality?" ”

"Don't worry." Xu Nan shook his head: "Because of my movie, there is no room for decline." crash, maybe it can also improve the quality of the movie. ”

Lin Ziyi absolutely fell.

You really have a point.
