Chapter 379: Congratulations on being shortlisted for the Southern California International Film Awards
In 2010.
It is definitely the craziest year in the Chinese film industry.
In June this year, the Hollywood blockbuster "Avata" completely shocked the world with a staggering global $2.6 billion and a Chinese dollar of 1.7 billion yuan.
In October this year, another Hollywood blockbuster "Dreamland" suddenly hit, with its intricate narrative, highly creative visual impact that seems to be true and false, and multiple dream thinking levels, it once again set off a frenzy of watching science fiction movies.
In this movie, countless fans have come to science fiction films to bring amazing "dreams within dreams", you can see high-rise buildings suddenly rising from the ground, you can also see layers of mysterious mountains, endless changing sense of direction, the moment the movie begins, countless people even fall into the layers of dreams woven by the movie for a long time and can't extricate themselves, and even Huaxia Film Network specially opened a column for "Dreamland", commenting that this movie is [This is a great and extremely exciting movie! 】。
The online rating of Douban Movie has reached an astonishing 9.4 points!
At a glance, you can see all the praise and shock below......
Countless people are writing about their amazement when they see this movie, despite the impact of "Avata", many people watch this movie not like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, but the incisive intersection of science fiction and reality, the unparalleled suspense of the combination of special effects and real scenes, and the more complex and huge plot setting, some people even say that compared with "Avata" and "Dreamland", this movie is another peak in Hollywood science fiction movies......
Amazing movie word-of-mouth has led to crazy movie box office.
Although it was released for three days, because of the forcible suppression of the main theme movie "1949", the box office of this movie only just exceeded 100 million, but in the next three days, the performance of this movie was terrifying.
Almost every day, with an astonishing box office of 40 million yuan, it frantically bombards the box office of Chinese movies, and even the main theme movie "1949" can't resist its edge......
And what about the Chinese science fiction movies in the same year?
"Future SWAT" was nailed to the pillar of shame, although the box office exceeded 100 million, but the score was as low as 3.2.
Earlier, the so-called sci-fi movie "The Adventures of Zhang Feng" had a box office of 30 million and a score of 3.5......
Appalling!
………………………………
When [Groupon] first entered China, it was like a group of wild wolves!
Backed by [Tengji Technology] tearing a piece of the market, the huge impact once made [Group Buy] and [Rice Glutinous Group Buy] unable to parry!
It's an era of huge traffic!
After about three months of fighting, both [Group Buying] and [Minuo Group Buying] have made a new category of products, and they have abandoned the messy online shopping goods.
No matter what they do to buy goods online, they can't snatch the amazing share of [Taozhu.com], and if you want to re-build an online shopping website under the rule of [Taozhu.com], you will only be crushed.
Thereupon......
They set their sights on two large blocks.
The first block of group buying is food and beverage services, and the second largest block is movie ticketing.
In the catering area, every company has a human brain like a dog's brain, offline appointments, sneaking stores in the middle of the night to tear off each other's promotional posters and other things......
In a sense, it's close to saturation!
But the ticketing part is still a brand new track, and everyone is surging crazy in this track!
Today's movie tickets are roughly divided into three major blocks.
Self-built cinema line: Mainly offline shopping malls sell tickets and open members, led by Wanda Cinema Line and Maoku Cinema Line......
Traditional vertical ticketing websites: the newly emerging [Maimai Ticketing Network] and [Carrying Ticket Network] were booming when they opened the station, but after mid-September, the traffic became less and less......
The third is to kill the culprit of traditional ticketing websites, group ticketing websites!
The sudden fire of "Dreamland" reminded countless people of the "Avata" a few months ago.
When the movie "Avata" was first released, the online ticketing system was not so popular, and there were not so many 3DIMAX halls in Huaxia, and many people even lined up in a long line at the cinema, taking a car and plane to the surrounding cities, and queuing for nearly one or two kilometers, just to watch this epic "Avata" movie......
The amazing box office performance of "Avata" and the amazing enthusiasm of Huaxia......
Many people realize that the horror market in the Chinese film industry!
Naturally......
Let those countless [group buying websites] realize that this is a track with a huge volume and a good reputation.
So, they flocked to the major theaters......
But!
When they rushed in, they found that [Groupon] had taken up half of the movie ticketing!
October 3rd.
The Tengji technology behind [Groupon] officially cooperated with [Wanda Cinemas] to launch the epic masterpiece "Dreamland" for 9.9 viewing, and those with high consumer membership levels can even watch "Dreamland" for 1 cent.
It's all once unpretentious routines, and there's nothing new about it.
But!
This track is becoming more and more crowded, and countless small websites are sharpening their knives and holding capital, but they can't cooperate with [Wanda Cinemas]......
In the end, relying on the huge capital chain, only the [Baotuan.com] that cooperated with Tengji, the [group buying] invested by Hongtian Capital, and the [Minuo group buying] of Hongsen Capital + Tengji Technology really ate this piece of cake.
Mr. Zhang...... I've seen what a monopoly of capital is, and what should we do next? ”
"Hold on!"
"When?"
"Wait until the tide of capital recedes!"
"How much longer?"
"I don't know ......"
At that time, [Qiangsheng Online Mall] was still struggling in the second and third tier cities.
Li Dongqiang will meet all kinds of "earthy" TV news every day, and then introduce the various preferential policies of [Qiangsheng Online Mall].
also listened to Zhang Sheng's words and opened the ticketing system of [Qiangsheng Online Mall], but he barely got the cooperation of some second- and third-tier theaters......
These second- and third-tier cinema chains don't even have 3DIMAX theaters at all.
Embarrassed by a B.
But......
It is good to have news propaganda in such a place and in one place to another.
The daily number of visits to [Qiangsheng Online Mall] has once again broken through to 100,000, and the merchants who settle in every day are also rising.
Pretty cost-effective!
It's about to be profitable!
……………………………………
The Internet of the year.
Let countless people feel magical.
Shen Xiaoxi watched everyone smash hundreds of millions of dollars, cheaper merchants, cheaper users, and unconsciously a little surprised.
This money is spent on yourself, even if you squander it, you can't spend it all in your life!
If all this money is spent on movies......
Gee!
"Why are you drooling......"
"No, no."
There was a knock on the door in the office.
Shen Xiaoxi subconsciously responded, and when Zhang Sheng pushed open the door and saw Shen Xiaoxi's cheeks, he pushed his glasses, revealing a curious smile.
Shen Xiaoxi hurriedly wiped it with her mouth, and then, finding that her mouth was very clean, she realized that Zhang Sheng was joking with her.
"I just thought of something happy......
"Falling in love"
"Huh? No, there is no ......."
"Ha, ha, it's okay to talk about it"
Shen Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, blushing subconsciously, and stammered a little in his answer.
Thousands of thoughts flashed in her mind, and she coughed lightly and was about to explain, but saw Zhang Sheng sit down with a smile: "It's October, in October last year, we were preparing for the [Southern California International Film Awards], I didn't expect time to pass so quickly......"
"yes."
Zhang Sheng's voice was a little embarrassed, Shen Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but think of October last year.
At that time......
He is a little transparent, and he runs in and out of this circle with Chen Mengting, the president of the student union, in a daze, doing all kinds of things for Ah K.
At that time, looking at the amazing housing prices in the big city of Yanjing, confusion and lack of hope were her main themes.
A year later......
jumped up and became the small boss of a small entertainment company.
Also made a fortune!
Although I still can't afford to buy a house, it seems that the distance is getting closer.
She pondered that after finishing her work in the second half of this year, she would take out a loan to buy a suite.
Thinking about it......
Shen Xiaoxi couldn't help but think about it again.
"This year, the second [Southern California International Film Awards] is scheduled for November 11th! This is the time every year after that......"
"Well, okay, Mr. Zhang!"
"At the same time, you help me hold a press conference, I want to say something in the press conference......
"Huh? About what? ”
"Let's just say, we [NC Entertainment] have a big event to announce!"
"Good!"
…………………………
【Group Buy】Headquarters.
Half-bald, wearing glasses but not gentle, but slightly obscene Zhang Xing followed his team to a meeting again!
Facing the frantic attack of [Groupon], Zhang Xing inevitably felt a headache.
In fact, in the group buying market, [Tengji Technology] has always had the upper hand during this time.
Whether it is [Rice Glutinous Group Buy] or the ferocious [Groupon], they are all terrifyingly murderous!
This market is like raising Gu, if you live, he will die, and if he lives, you will die.
Don't say anything like moving forward together, making progress together.
The capital has invested so much money, and everyone is red-eyed, just to monopolize the market and bite a piece of meat hard, who will come to see you go hand in hand?
Putting aside overseas capital to analyze the Chinese market......
As a matter of fact!
In the Chinese market, the competition is always three opponents.
[Tengji Technology] led by Zheng Huateng, Ma Yunhua led by [Taozhu.com], and [Sodu] led by Li Bing......
After three days of negotiations, Zhang Xing finally reached a strategic agreement with [Taozhu.com] and got a sum of money again.
But......
How to spend this money!
It's what they're going to discuss in this meeting.
Burn money!
You've got to be able to burn, you've got to burn it!
Just after the meeting, Zhang Xing returned to the office......
He saw a piece of news about Zhang Sheng.
