347 Where's counterattack made Fox hurt a little

However, Westerners do not understand Chinese culture at all, and as I said before, the fundamental difference between Chinese and Western culture is:

Westerners hope that God will help them when they face difficulties, while Chinese people unite to resist difficulties when they encounter difficulties.

If the West were faced with difficulties in which part of the moment, their choice would certainly be to give in.

But what is the way in which he encounters this difficulty with the Chinese?

So when some people are cheering and suppressing where they are, in fact, who has united the major domestic companies and key people to gather after the publicity, which is a big hurdle in the Chinese film and television industry, so how to solve it?

With Ho Fang's promotional tour of Asia, the box office for the first three days was also released.

The domestic box office reached 403.5 million yuan, or 403.5 million, on the second day, becoming the first film to break 400 million yuan at the box office in a single day. The current Chinese box office market has reached the level of another time and space in 2017, and under the urging of He Fang, the progress has advanced by three years.

The domestic box office on the third day also won 390.44 million, and the box office in the first three days reached 975.85 million and 157 million US dollars.

The domestic box office hit a new high, but the overseas box office has been declining.

The North American box office raised 5.14 million, 3.87 million, and 2.54 million respectively in the first three days, and won $11.55 million in three days, which is not as good as the box office of a third-rate director's movie in Hollywood.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the treaty, it is estimated that there would not even be this box office.

And the rest of the world is not much better, due to the squeeze of film scheduling in various countries, the box office in the first three days was 10.76 million US dollars, 12.97 million US dollars, and 13.63 million US dollars respectively, and only 37.36 million US dollars were obtained in three days.

Despite this Waterloo, the Chinese mainland box office also reached $205.9 million in the first three days of the global box office, mainly because the Chinese box office supported this day.

Of course, some people think it's cool to suppress "Operation Mekong", but that doesn't mean that he doesn't say anything at all.

"How to Train Your Dragon 2", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The Battle of the Limin", "The Expendables 3" and other Hollywood movies that are about to be released in Chinese mainland suddenly found that all China's publicity and distribution companies have encountered resistance, although it is not a blatant suppression, but the suppression of emission reduction films and garbage disposal time fields is obvious.

And, of course, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Hobbit 3: Go and Return, Interstellar, Guardians of the Galaxy, Moving Labyrinth, ...... There are more than a dozen movies that will be suppressed.

As the world's second largest film market, China will have a certain amount of confidence to make a move.

When "How to Train Your Dragon 2", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The Battle of the Limin", and "The Expendables 3", three American blockbusters that are about to be released in China, were sidelined, the companies behind them panicked.

Especially Fox, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The Battle of the Dead" is one of their main series of movies, and they were still counting on a more than one billion box office in China, if China suppresses and loses two or three billion US dollars at the box office, it will not only be a matter of two or three hundred million US dollars at the box office, the interests behind it are linked.

The key is that "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is also Fox's, and this time it lost the box office of two series, can they afford this loss?

Of course, without the box office of the Chinese market, their films will make the same money, but for American capitalists, what they should earn if they don't make money is loss, that is, pain.

So, when the time came on August 8th, Fauci of Fox called He.

Because they can't work through all kinds of inducements or threats with China, and the movie theater chain in China doesn't need the support of your Fox, and you Fox can't control me, but the theater chain in the mainland is really dominated by whom.

With his position in China, all domestic blockbusters are not supplied to a certain cinema chain, do you want to wait for death in this cinema chain? Why did Zhang Weiping dare to force the theater to sign an exclusivity agreement so arrogantly? Isn't it just a threat with Zhang Yimou's blockbuster, if you don't sign an agreement with me, my blockbuster won't be screened by your theater. Just let you make money in the Lunar New Year file, you have no film to play, no income.

Of course, although this kind of behavior is an act of tearing your face, who is being suppressed abroad, the entire film and television industry is confronting foreign enemies, and you don't operate a single cinema chain, what do you want to do? Do you still want to be a thief?

It's okay if you do something else to be a thief, you are a theater company, your theater chain can't be transferred, do you dare to be disobedient?

Therefore, Fox's public relations in China has no effect, and no one dares to let go of the nod from any side.

This, Fox really felt the status and voice of He Fang in China.

"Hey, hey, did it bother you?" Fauci tried his best to act like an 'old friend' on the phone.

"It's nothing, it's evening on my side, Mr. Fauci, what's the matter?" What do you mean, your call to me at night affects my rest.

"Oh, sorry, he, I forgot to see the jet lag. Okay, so I'll cut it short, I know you're having some problems with Operation Mekong. I would say that it has nothing to do with us at Fox. ”

"Oh, then I'm thankful that Fox didn't make a shot at my movie, and I'll treat you to dinner next time I'm in Los Angeles." He Fang said politely.

"Uh-huh, okay. He, we have two movies in the Fokker period that will be released this month, and there may be some trouble in China, you see? Fauci said.

"Oh? Trouble, what trouble? Don't you let it be released? Then I can help you coordinate it. He Fang said enthusiastically.

"Of course, it's not a problem with the release, but a problem with film scheduling and publicity, and we have encountered unfriendly film scheduling and publicity."

"Huh? Huh? You should talk to your local partners about this, I can't help you with this, how to arrange the film and how to promote it is the business of every theater line. Sometimes, when my movie is going to be released, I have to say good things to them.

Mr. Fauci, if your film doesn't pass the screening in China, or doesn't make it to the screen, with our relationship, I will do my best to help you. However, when it comes to film scheduling and publicity, you know, there are dozens of cinemas in China, and it is impossible for me to force them to do anything one by one, which would violate the rules of the market.

Therefore, how to arrange the films of these theaters, you have to ask some professionals to do it. Don't you have long-term cooperative promoters in China? It's their job. He Fang didn't say that he wouldn't help, but he told Fauci very clearly what he could help and what he couldn't.

But...... Fauci felt that the poor scheduling of the theater was the cause of it, and that was what their people felt in China.

"He, I heard that Chinese theaters are cold in the international market because of your films, so they collectively boycott us. So ...... "Fauci had no choice but to make it clear, they are Caucasian, they don't beat around the bush, they go straight when they are in a hurry."

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard? Mr. Fauci, you're not going to be deceived, are you? Maybe someone deliberately smeared me. Impossible, Mr. Fauci, although I have a bit of influence in China, I still don't have an impact on the scheduling of dozens of theaters.

Just like Mr. Cameron, he is very influential in the United States, like a national teacher-level director, but can he influence the film schedule of American theaters? So, it must have been your people in China who made excuses for his mistakes and wanted to put the blame on me, but in fact it was not. ”

He Fang also replied directly.

"He, that's really not the case?" Fauci asked earnestly.

"Of course, I'm just a director. My company doesn't operate cinemas, even if the Huying Group Company, which has a good relationship with me, operates cinemas, it won't affect the 48 cinemas in China. Fauci was skeptical of his explanation.

Because what He Fang said is very reasonable, even if he is the best director in China and he has the best film company in China, he does not run a cinema chain, and it is impossible to influence nearly 50 cinema chains.

"Okay, so, he, how do I fix this? Can you give me some direction? Fauci retreated to the next best thing, asking where to go.

"Uh-huh, this ...... You have to first determine why your Chinese head is causing trouble, whether he has offended someone who should not be offended. Actually, you have to find out if any department has issued any documents and instructions.

Or, is it a person in power who has some instructions. If you don't have any, and then your movie doesn't get a good schedule, it may be that your movie quality is really a problem, and China's theaters are generally not optimistic, and if you don't give a good schedule, it may not be who wants to suppress you. ”

He Fang gave a series of very practical suggestions, as if he was really trying to help Fauci solve the problem.

So Fauci was blind for a while, he knew who was lying, and he also understood that the Hollywood film in China had to do with Where's revenge, but he couldn't help it.

"He, don't make some things worse, there is no benefit in confrontation." Fauci had nothing to say, so he threatened directly.

"Mr. Fauci, I think you're so right, there's no good in any confrontation. It's a pity that some people think about how to target others every day, and then think about targeting others and others can't resist. Speaking of which...... I'll talk to you next time I go back to the United States, and we have to work together to resist such people. ”

He Fang responded excitedly at first, but as he spoke, he began to grit his teeth.

Of course, it's not just Fauci who is gnashing his teeth.

But he didn't have anything to do about it.

"He, just say, how can we promote and distribute movies in China normally?" Fauci picked even more broken.

"No, no, no, Mr. Fauci, I think you are misunderstood, how Hollywood movies are released in China is really not up to me, I am a director. Say, Mr. Fauci, how can you trust me? Why don't you come over in person, and I'll take you to meet the boss of each theater, and I'll personally help you say good things? ”

"Hey, okay, okay. He, maybe I did misunderstand, so I hope we can continue to cooperate happily in the future. "When it comes to this, Fauci can't do anything about it.

"Yes, Mr. Fauci, you are welcome to come to China to play, and I will give you a warm welcome."

"Okay, I'll come over when I get a chance. So let's talk about it here first. ”

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Fauci."

"Goodbye, Ho."

The two hung up the phone, both of them with blue faces.

Fauci had a bad face because he was angry with He Fang's cunning, this time it was just a small suppression of "Operation Mekong", and He Fang backhanded suppressed the release of all Hollywood movies in China.

The point is that this kind of repression neither violates the terms of the treaty between the two countries, nor does it allow Hollywood to catch the handle, which is to give you a slap in the face.

And He Fang's face is not good because although he gave Hollywood a slap in the face, he was angered by their arrogance. A look of being on top, and the threats are one after another. Really special mother, who really wants to say, 'It's just you, what's wrong with you?' But he knew he couldn't say it, because it wasn't time to tear his face.

So both sides are in a bad mood, and whoever party's revenge is really strong. Of course, this is what he has to take revenge against, and it is a means that the domestic film and television industry wants to use.

China's film and television industry just wants to express the same: cooperation, hello and hello. If we want to suppress our films, and the other side wants to make money from us, then I'm sorry, the Chinese film industry doesn't agree.

"Operation Mekong" has been released for ten days, two weeks, and if it weren't for the domestic box office in China, it would really be miserable.

The domestic box office in the second week was 159763 159,760, and the box office exceeded 2.573 billion yuan in two weeks, and the domestic box office hit a new high, but the international box office was miserable!

In the second week, North America only got $18.48 million, and the two weeks added up to only $30.03 million, which was completely out of play.

The rest of the world only got 59.77 million in the second week, and it was less than 60 million in a week.

This is a ...... Really, I can't say.

So it can be seen how ruthlessly outsiders suppressed, and if they didn't kill "Operation Mekong", they all opened up the Internet, at least let "Operation Mekong" be released internationally, and many countries around the world can still see it.

After the end of the Asian propaganda, everyone took a private jet from He Fang and flew directly to the capital.

"Director He, you rich people are cool, this private jet is ......" Zhang Hanyu was very envious.

"I can't help it, I'm a smoker, and the most unbearable thing every time I fly an international long distance is that I can't smoke for more than ten or twenty hours, and people are going crazy." He shook his head.

"So, you bought a private jet so you could smoke on a plane?" Wu Jing was shocked.

"What's all the fuss about?"

“……”

Why did he come to the capital? Of course, after this external suppression, everyone has to discuss a feasible overseas plan for the whole industry.
