"Thank God, the publicity of "Miracle of the Green Mile" in China is very good!"

In a bar next to the U.S. Consulate, Frank, who had become more rounder after being stationed in China, handed a glass of whiskey to Ms. Amy Mayer next to him, and smiled triumphantly.

Although one is the representative of Universal Pictures in China and the other is the representative of Disney in China, the relationship between the two has always been good.

After all, the group of Haolaiwu who is familiar with Chinese culture is not large, and it is difficult to see people who look up and look down on many occasions, and it is difficult to know whether they know or not.

But although the relationship is good, Amy Mayer still can't see this fat man in front of him-

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Dunhuang, and you have made a lot of money for the world by introducing their films, and you thought that "Miracle of the Green Mile" would be handed over to Dunhuang for distribution in China? I didn't expect you to hand it over to Huashi politely, and started a fight with Dunhuang, and then you were so happy!"

"No, no, no......" Frank shook his head like a rattle, "First of all, Dunhuang himself is not willing to bring in good dock films, of course, they have enough troubles;"

"Secondly, I didn't mean to fight with Dunhuang, but business is business, and handing it over to Huashi represents the market and profits, which is enough, and a person who can't look at the problem like this is not a qualified businessman."

「……」

Amy Mayer really can't argue with that.

They came all the way to China, did they make friends and send warmth? Phew, isn't it all about the pursuit of damn profits?

Seeing that Ms. Amy Mayer had nothing to say, Frank smiled and said, "Well, it's not just that our global situation in China is very good, it should be said that this is our common victory!"

Amy Meyer also smiled when she heard this, this is human words.

You must know that any circle is xenophobic, and the xenophobia of the film and television industry is not generally strong.

If you want to step into a new film and television industry, you must have a bridge of connection and a channel of communication.

Of course, whether it is entering the China Entertainment Circle or entering Haolaiwu, it is basically the five major docking five.

However, as the rulers of their respective markets, it is fundamentally not in their interests for the five major to introduce the beasts from outside into their own yards.

For example, the five major Chinese entertainment circles introduced Hollywood films, saying that they had common interests, but they openly and secretly limited the scale of marketing, postponed the release date, and arranged to release them on non-popular schedules......

This year, there has been a 180° turn - it cannot be said that the introduction of Hollywood is treated equally, but the various treatments have been properly upgraded by more than one level, which is still a short-term benefit!

In the long run, this is the beginning of cultivating the aesthetics of Chinese movie-watching!

——There is no doubt that Hollywood attaches great importance to the Chinese market.

This is also natural, a large country with a population of nearly one billion people, the world's largest box office, if everyone comes to dock movies, what a big market it is.

Of course, this is the result of whims.

In the "two superpowers" on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, the people have enough heart to welcome and pursue local culture, local faces, and local aesthetics, which is a reality that no one can change!

But just because you can't change it doesn't mean you can't improve it.

For Hollywood, they don't expect everyone in China to fully accept Western culture and Western aesthetics, but even if only one-tenth or two-tenths of people do so, this is not inferior to Europe's Hollywood basic market.

This possibility is quite high.

For multinational companies such as Hollywood's Big Five, their analysis of the international market is never decided by patting their heads, and most of the time, the board of directors will refer to the analysis of various think tanks -

The supposedly eclectic Chinese are indeed more accepting of cultural differences than the seemingly open-minded, but in fact the most xenophobic Americans.

This is more deeply understood by Frank and Amy Meyer in China.

"No soil is fertile on its own."

Frank subconsciously lowered his voice,

"So I'm going to catch this

Opportunity - Far from being an obstacle to us, the Five Chinese National Congress have become our helpers in cultivating Chinese people's movie-watching aesthetics......

"Thank you to the Chinese people who like infighting!"

Amy Meyer nodded in approval and raised her whiskey in celebration in her hand.

After taking a sip of whiskey, Amy Meyer continued, "To be honest, I don't understand why Chinese people are so fond of infighting."

"Throughout their history, it is a history of infighting; If there is no infighting, I dare say that no one can do anything about this nation."

Frank was noncommittal.

- As long as it is a human being, there are all kinds of "fighting", and countries without a history of internal fighting are not because they are mild, but because they have a short history, or in other words, there is no history.

Ahem, seeing through it or not saying it thoroughly, Frank didn't refute her after all, and only took a sip of wine silently.

Ms. Amy Meyer, who didn't see through it, was still saying, "I don't quite understand the five Chinese countries, as for the look of life and death? How good is it to cooperate with a company like Dunhuang, and everyone can make money together?"

Frank's eyes froze, "I can understand them."

Responding to Amy Mayer's inquiring gaze, Frank thought for a moment and said,

"If there is a second-tier film company in Hollywood, if you make a movie, you will sell one movie and make one money, and the other party still has a strong desire to expand, and is always looking to enter the upstream and downstream...... Even if he is willing to let you join the joint venture, everyone is advancing, but his pace of progress will always be greater than yours."

"Because your copyright library can only be good and bad, although a large number of junk copyrights are also dripping and accumulating income, they can never compare to the fact that there is no flawed product in his copyright library, and each one is a high-quality product, a super high-quality product, and a legendary boutique that can make others drool......

"Are you afraid that he will take your place?"

Amy Meyer brought it in, and the thought of having such a challenger behind her ass made her scalp tingle!

It would be too self-deceptive to say that you are not afraid - haven't the five big Hollywood jointly suppressed the challenger?

What are you kidding, over the years, Hollywood has changed from seven to six, and from six to five, not the other way around, doesn't it explain the problem?

——The challengers who were spun off by the five major spin-offs of Hollywood are not one or two.

The reason why there is no such thing as the Fifth National Congress of Huaguo, which put the open knife and the secret arrow on the table, is because Haolaiwu has never had a challenger like Dunhuang - normal film companies will always fail to make movies, a movie has too many fragile links from birth to distribution, and slowly bloodletting can bring down a rising star.

Frank just doesn't want to say that Amy Mayer is fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, and they don't hesitate to "fight" in Disney.

But it's still that sentence, see through it and don't say it thoroughly.

Well, Amy Meyer is more or less seen through now.

After all, under all kinds of open swords and hidden arrows, the edge of Dunhuang still can't be hidden, which is really terrifying!

For example, "My Neighbor Totoro" impressed her the most!

This animation also landed in North America, but it didn't even go to theaters, and it went directly to TV - it happened to be Disney's TV station, and then, there was a familiar scene:

My Neighbor Totoro's merchandise is on sale as soon as it hits the market!

According to a survey by Disney, one of the largest Disney agencies alone sold 100,000 Totoro dolls!

And that's just the beginning!

With the experience of the past years, Amy Mayer can clearly feel that the power around "My Neighbor Totoro" has just begun to be released, and the current achievement is far from its peak.

And this is also the result achieved under the suppression of the five major in the Chinese entertainment industry, well, even under the suppression of "The Lion King".

Just imagine such a challenger, no matter how hard you hammer him, you can't overdo it.

"I originally wanted to try to cooperate with the weak Dunhuang......

Without paying attention, Amy Mayer said that she slipped her mouth.

The corners of Frank's mouth twitched twice - you to

Didn't you think about it for me? So you're going to dig into my corner?

"It's better not to have this thought, to tell you the truth, Dunhuang feels very dangerous to me."

Frank still frankly persuaded,

"Judging from the past results, it's not that they don't have the ability to break into Hollywood, but they are just being involved in all their energy by the five major Chinese countries."

"You think you're chasing a white rabbit, but it's a tiger, and even though it's a cub, a tiger cub is a tiger!"

Amy Meyer was thoughtful.

She couldn't say that she had completely dismissed the thought, but the other party still listened to it.

——Although the competition among the five major companies in the North American market is very fierce, in any case, the interests of all the companies in Hollywood are quite consistent in terms of developing the market externally.

If you don't submit your feelings, in China, these representatives of Hollywood still have to be twisted into a rope - because in this way they can earn the most money and make the most Haolaiwu people make money in the Chinese market.

Frank has been in China for a longer time, and his admonition is naturally of reference value.

"Then do you think that it is beneficial for us to be weaker in Dunhuang, or more beneficial to us if it is stronger?"

Amy Meyer asked suddenly.

"Isn't Dunhuang strong enough?"

Frank spit out.

Although he understood what the other party meant-

If it is weaker, the main contradiction may become the competition between the five Chinese and the five Haolaiwu five, and they will not have the opportunity to get the current treatment - yes, none of their representatives in China can not understand that they are being used as a tool to suppress Dunhuang;

It is impossible to be satisfied, but it is already a much better result than before;

If Dunhuang is stronger, it means that the introduction of Hollywood may not be able to get benefits in the hard encounter, which will undoubtedly affect the immediate income.

"If you really want to say it, I still hope that Dunhuang can be stronger, after all, it is now suppressed by the five major "joints" of China and the United States, and in the words of the Chinese, he can't turn over the palm of his hand - then I hope he can hold on for a while longer."

As he spoke, Frank remembered that Huawei had won nearly 15% of the film schedule for "The Miracle of the Green Mile", which was ahead of the films released in Dunhuang, and couldn't help but squint and laugh.

Amy Meyer glanced at it and raised her glass, "Then I hope that the Chinese people can fight among themselves for a long time, so that we can be fully prepared to share this big cake."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank the small half glass of whiskey.

……

For the rest of the day, Frank was in a good mood.

The publicity and distribution of "Miracle in the Green Mile" in China made him even feel like he was doing publicity in his hometown - only the lack of publicity from the crew himself.

And he also won the consent of the department, after the release of the movie, the crew will also be located in China to expand publicity - he is confident in the quality of this movie, when he takes the lead in the film scheduling, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided!

However, he didn't see the turbulent waves of cities below the third tier of Huaguo-

The stills of "Jiupin Sesame Official" not only appear in theaters, bus stops, and newsstands in cities below the third tier, but also in communities, schools, and shopping malls, truly "everywhere".

On the one hand, audiences in cities below the third tier have a strong randomness in watching movies, and they will be more affected by material publicity; On the other hand, local theaters have already placed heavy bets on "Jiupin Sesame Official" and have spared no effort to build momentum for it.

What's more, Dunhuang's cooperation is too comfortable - not only is the money happy, but every still released is also carefully made and selected;

From showing the celebrities, showing the characters in the film, revealing the relationship between the characters, and arousing the audience's appetite...... The closer to the release, the more details or highlights will be reflected, and the more attention will be attracted to the audience.

For example, in a county town in the south that Fang Zhe "conquered", a young couple knew from the bus stop that they passed by every day that the movie "Jiupin Sesame Official" was about to be released.

With the start of "Did you know? Corrupt officials want women to do it, and clean officials want women to do it", to the one holding a salted fish

"This Shang Fang sword, behead the faint king, behead the slanderous ministers", and then Zhou Qiming "swallowed the Shang Fang sword" in the public court...... 's stills were updated, and the little couple was stunned.

It looks like a story of a Qing official who asks for the people's life, but thinking of the information and style revealed in Zhou Qiming's last work and stills, they (she) feel that this movie must be not serious!

"Want to see it?"

"Yes!"

"Let's go see it on the day of the premiere."

At this time, a sudden news made the little couple change from "want to see" to "must see" - "Big star Zhou Qiming will lead a team to come to the county town to do publicity!"

The news directly made the girl cover her mouth and suppress the urge to scream.

In such a small city, it is really rare to want to see big stars up close!

Later, when the broadcast in the county and the updated poster information reminded the audience that they could win the opportunity to interact with the big star at close range by buying tickets for the lottery, the girl immediately took out her mobile phone to book movie tickets.

"Places are definitely limited, first come, first served."

「…… Damn, it's busy? That's how many people are booking movie tickets!"

For a while, the movie ticket reservations for "Jiupin Sesame Official" in the county soared, which made Mr. Tang of the theater laugh, and praised Fang Zhe on the phone.

"Your kid's idea of buying a ticket lottery is so good, the show on the day of the premiere is fully booked!"

"The only problem is that you can make sure that the crew comes to the roadshow later, otherwise I'm afraid the theater will be overturned by the audience!"

Fang Zhe's tone on the phone was more affirmative, "Don't worry, we in Dunhuang never cheat friends!"
