Chapter 143: Xiao wants a new market in North America

Wang Wei didn't know that the undercurrent in the circle was beginning to surge.

In his opinion, even if Dunhuang has attracted some talents to join, most of them have been sent to the door by themselves, and Dunhuang has not dug the corners of the five major walls, so as not to cause a backlash.

Let's take the directors and producers he recruited at the celebration banquet before, although they all have considerable experience, but for various reasons, they couldn't get the right opportunity, so they sent them over.

Of course, it is difficult to say what they will achieve in the future, and the current level is enough for Dunhuang.

And it's just a few people, it's not like they took it down.

The mere fact that you have to sign a long-term contract is a problem.

The obstacle mainly comes from their respective brokers –

Signing a long-term contract is too bad for them to increase the price in the subsequent cooperation.

This is also an important reason why Dunhuang asked to sign a long-term contract.

The long-term contract is more about restricting the target target's sky-high asking price in the sequel, rather than infinitely lowering the salary.

Even if a long-term contract is signed, the remuneration paid to the target will at least be in line with the market situation.

But brokers obviously don't see it that way.

Their interests are directly tied to the customer's income, and a broker who cannot strive for more value for the customer will be worthless.

However, all differences have come to an end in the face of Dunhuang's new "salary increase" plan.

- Even if they sign a long-term contract, as long as the other party continues to create value, Dunhuang does not mind improving their treatment at all, and even takes the initiative to meet their wish to get a share of the box office.

After all, if they had the qualifications to get box office shares in other film and television companies, it would be impossible for them to take the initiative to come and "be poached".

Moreover, most companies in the industry cannot afford to play Dunhuang like this.

The film industry is, of course, one of the legal and profitable industries in the world, but there are losses when there is a profit, and no matter whether it is Chinese or foreign, it loses more than it earns!

If you have been focusing on Dunhuang for a long time, you may have some illusions, it has made a lot of money at a small cost, and it is a big profit! So, why can't I do the same?

Jumping out of Dunhuang and looking out, whether it is the Chinese entertainment industry or Hollywood, there are more films that lose money - not just any company can make a hit, and it is not just anyone who makes a hit and a hit.

Most of the small companies below Dunhuang only have the envy of Harazi, and even if they also offer box office dividends, no one believes that they can get it - they will support themselves first and then talk about other things.

The Big Five are indeed more guaranteed in terms of quality, and they are therefore relied on by capital, but they are also high up for individual creators, except for a few closely related big directors and gold medal producers, it is difficult for ordinary creators to get a guaranteed box office share.

Note that there is a guarantee - the verbal share is about equal to zero.

Therefore, on the road of smashing people with money, Dunhuang can be regarded as finding its own way.

And it is not difficult for outsiders to see that this road can only be led by Wang Wei.

……

Outsiders know it, but of course Wang Wei himself won't know it.

Therefore, no matter how complicated the other work is, he has not relaxed his "carving" of his works.

His works are the signature of Dunhuang - all the current prosperity of Dunhuang is based on his success.

Frankly, this is certainly not a very healthy development model.

But at this stage, this is the best choice for Dunhuang.

Money is not only a thing that can deeply stimulate the individual; If a company wants to develop, the stimulation of money is also the most important!

And when a company produces a limited number of films each year, in order to make more profits, it is either to improve the quality of the films as much as possible, or to open up new markets.

After the first cut of "The Silence of the Lambs" was completed, and Wang Wei was sure that all the post-production could be completed on schedule, he pulled Wang Chuanqi, Xu Daoxing and other publicity directors to discuss a serious issue-

"What do you think of the North American market?"

Lao Wang and Lao Xu glanced at each other and laughed.

"I'll just say that 'Lamb' is interested in the Western market!" Lao Wang slapped his thigh and said.

Lao Xu also smiled and said: "From various perspectives such as the idea, the story, and the names of the characters are Westernized, if you want to say that "Lamb" has no intention of the Western market, I don't believe it!" Sure enough......"

The two are Wang Wei's right-hand men, and when "Lamb" was about to be announced, when he heard this question, he knew that he had an idea.

Wang Wei was slightly stunned, but he did not deny their statement.

When this movie was chosen, although there were reasons for its award-winning attributes, it cannot be said that there was no idea of aiming at the Western market, especially the North American market.

Lao Wang first smiled and said: "It is impossible to pick up money. It is also a mature and highly competitive film market, and if you want to break into this market, you can't do without the Hollywood Five. ”

Probably because the market is relatively small, after a series of mergers and acquisitions, there are only five major Hollywood forces left - Warner Bros., Fox, Paramount, Disney, and Universal.

Lao Xu analyzed from the other side: "It's not easy to make money when you go in." All markets are xenophobic, with North America being particularly xenophobic. ”

"The blindness of the North American audience to the Oriental face is a problem, and cultural differences are an even bigger problem."

It has been more than two years since the market was opened to each other and the quota was introduced into the film, and some rules can already be summed up.

From the perspective of the film industry, China Entertainment and Hollywood are basically at the same level, but the themes they are good at are indeed different.

China Entertainment is good at shooting action scenes and martial arts scenes, and many of Hollywood's action designs are scum in front of Chinese action movies - in this regard, both time and space seem to be the same.

And Hollywood is indeed superior in science fiction.

This is indeed a very interesting point, the North American cultural accumulation is too thin, well, it can even be said that there is no cultural accumulation, but it is more able to open your mind and come up with very unique science fiction stories and ideas.

Therefore, judging from the box office performance of the movies they introduced, in addition to the psychology of curiosity, both parties are more interested in the fields they are not very good at-

China Entertainment's action movies are the best-selling in North America, and Hollywood's sci-fi films are the best-selling in China.

"Lamb" doesn't seem to match either side, but several people are optimistic that it can compete in the North American market.

"Not to mention the Western elements in it, the audience of horror films in North America is much larger than that in China in terms of proportion."

Wang Wei concluded: "The most important thing is that no matter how difficult it is to make money in the North American market, we still have to find a way to develop it. ”

"yes!"

The other two nodded in unison.

Even if the North American market is also a red ocean, it is still a new market for domestic players.

New market, pure profit! Earn a penny and earn!

The promotion of Chinese culture is still secondary, and earning tickets from North American audiences is really cool.

Another advantage is that everyone has not yet mastered the thinking of global production, and the opportunities are relatively equal.

There is only one small problem -

"How do we get quotas for exporting films?"

Lao Wang frowned and asked.

"That's your business." Wang Wei spread his hands and laughed evilly.
