Reach out to fight
Box office! It is the lifeline of a film company. If the box office is not high, then the film company will not be able to recover the huge investment cost, nor will it be able to make money to maintain the operation of the film company.
What I never expected was that the box office revenue of Lin Feng's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" would be so high! US$1.32 billion! This is an astonishing figure that no one expected. US$1.32 billion, although it did not
It broke the total revenue of "Lord of the Rings" in the North American market by US$1.4 billion, but this was only the box office of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" alone. In terms of a single movie alone, it has surpassed any of "Lord of the Rings"
The movie has done well at the box office in North America.
In half a month, the total global box office reached an astonishing result of US$2.515 billion! This is definitely an unprecedented and shocking result. No one thought that a typical Chinese movie could achieve such a high box office. Especially, it makes people feel uncomfortable
What comes to mind is that the Chinese market is actually so popular and can contribute more than 1 billion US dollars in box office revenue. This is something no one expected.
The prospects of the Chinese market are so broad! This is so surprising! Although "The Disciple" contributed the vast majority of box office revenue, this cannot be ignored. The potential of the Chinese market is huge. Among the five major movie giants, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been
When "The Legend 3: Miao Crisis" was in disgrace at the box office, they also saw the considerable box office market in China.
In the future, the film market will no longer only include the North American market, but also the Chinese market. A market that can almost compete with the North American market! The five major film giants also immediately pushed the four films they released in a hurry to the Chinese market. After all,
In this confrontation with Lin Feng, they were almost completely defeated.
Under the call of a group of Michaels, movie fans flocked to the "Forest Screening Room" one after another, but their cinema lines were empty. Although there were many top blockbusters such as "I Am Legend". However, in the face of the call of a group of Michaels,
Fans bought it very much. As a result, the four blockbusters "I Am Legend", "Beowulf", "American Gangster", and "Resident Evil 3: Extinction" usually have a box office of no less than
Two to three billion U.S. dollars, but now the total box office of the four movies has just exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Such dismal box office revenue is completely unacceptable to them.
Obviously, they chose a very wrong time to release their movie. There was no overwhelming publicity, no premiere with big-name stars, almost nothing, just their paranoia. The box office was naturally extremely miserable. So,
They have set their sights on the suddenly discovered 'gold mine market' in China. Of course, Hollywood has also been waiting for the Chinese market to start blowing out.
After all, China is the most populous country in the world, and its GDP is also increasing year by year. It is now the third largest economy in the world, second only to the United States and Japan, and in the foreseeable future, it will surpass Japan and become the world's third largest economy.
The world's second largest economy. Such a market will surely become the world's largest market in the future. Therefore, Hollywood has been negotiating with China and is gradually selling more movies to China. But it did not expect that the Chinese market
There will be a sudden blowout.
The box office of one billion US dollars is just for a single movie. This is too scary. Basically, no matter how huge the capital investment is, the cost can be recovered in China. Under this stimulation, the five major Hollywood movie giants immediately pushed the movie to
Chinese market. I hope that these movies of theirs, even if they are not popular in the United States, may be popular in China. Even if they cannot make a fortune, they can at least recover the cost to make up for this decision-making mistake.
However, what is unexpected is that these four films have encountered huge troubles. First of all, they failed to pass the qualification review. Of course, it is not that they failed, but the waiting time for the review was a bit long. According to usual practice
.This will take at least about a month to review. And for the five major Hollywood film giants, one month is a bit too long.
After waiting for such a long time to review, the day lily is already cold. Although they have a grudge against Lin Feng, they must admit that now Lin Feng's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" has completely activated the Chinese market.
While this residual heat has not dissipated, they naturally want to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money. But if they wait for the consumer sentiment to pass and return to normal, they may not be able to make so much money. Therefore, even if there is hatred, they can make money now
, who doesn’t want to make more money?
But if the review fails, what should I do if it takes so long even if it passes? Now, many giant companies are anxious. What can they do if they are anxious? They can only find a way to find the person in charge of the relevant department. Anyway,
It’s not like they don’t understand Chinese characteristics. Then just treat them to dinner and give gifts! Anyway, as long as you can earn back, it doesn’t matter if you give more. But what the five major film giants didn’t expect was that the leaders of the relevant departments sternly refused.
Not to mention giving gifts, even inviting guests to dinner.
If you want to visit, you can do it in the office, and he will receive you politely. But if you want to visit at home, sorry, you won't be accepted. This will make the five major movie giants confused. They didn't expect what the situation is.
!This, this, what's going on! When did you become so honest and law-abiding?
This is unreasonable! It shouldn’t be like this! Finally, after all the hard work, the five major film giants finally found out the news. That is, the reason why the leaders of the relevant departments did not accept their banquets and gifts was because
He was worried about Lin Feng. Now it was clear that Lin Feng was at odds with them. How could they, the leaders of the relevant departments, go against Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng was not a cadre, a party member, or even a National People's Congress representative. But who
We cannot ignore Lin Feng's influence in China. Although he is not in the officialdom, he can influence many things in the officialdom.
Therefore, for the sake of their own black hats and for their own butts to sit in the best seats, these leaders of the relevant departments will not do anything that exceeds their limits. Everything can only be done in a business-like manner. Moreover, there are still
It has to be business affairs with Chinese characteristics - dragging.
Does this mean that we have to give up on the Chinese market? The five major film companies are very unwilling to do so.
"I think we should try contacting Lin Feng!" Fox Film President Elizabeth Murdoch said, "As long as we can get Lin Feng to help, then I believe our movie should be able to pass the review soon!"
Looking for Lin Feng? Li Jianxi and others' faces twitched. How could this be possible? Looking for Lin Feng, they would rather the movie not be released.
"Everyone, don't forget. These four movies of ours are big productions of the year. If we don't find Lin Feng, it will be impossible to save the box office. Without the box office, we can't make a submission to the company's board of directors. Of course, to be honest, I don't care.
.I am the chairman of the company!" Elizabeth Murdoch said calmly.
Twentieth Century Fox was originally owned by Murdoch. Later, after Murdoch's divorce, under Lin Feng's mediation, all the property was transferred to his ex's ex-wife Anne Murdoch to take care of it, and he was left alone
Went on vacation. As for his ex-wife Wendi Deng, except for a New York mansion, a Beijing courtyard house, and some cash, she did not get any shares or positions. And Elizabeth Murdoch, as Murdoch’s only daughter
, inherited Twentieth Century Fox. She is the chairman and CEO. Murdoch's shares occupy an absolute share of Twentieth Century Fox.
Therefore, no matter what happens to the company in the end, Elizabeth does not need to explain to anyone. No! But it is different for several other CEOs. Among them, especially Lee Kun-hee, president of Samsung Columbia. Although the Samsung consortium also holds an absolute stake in the company, Lee Kun-hee
She is also the eldest daughter in the family, but in South Korea, women and men are completely different. There is no comparability in status. As the president of Samsung Colombia, Lee Kun-hee can be said to have set a precedent for Korean companies. And if its financial statements are not good-looking,
That was a blow to Li Jianxi.
Therefore, Li Jianxi recovered immediately after the initial discomfort.
"Yes, the grudge between us and Lin Feng is a grudge between us, but it has nothing to do with business!" Li Jianxi said categorically, "Business is business, grudges are grudges, we must separate them!"
"But, will Lin Feng be willing to help?" Paramount President John Leh said with a frown.
Lin Feng is a man who will retaliate. As long as he has the opportunity, he will stab those who have offended him several times. In this case, if they go to Lin Feng for help, it is equivalent to stretching their faces to give Lin Feng a slap.
.This, Lin Feng couldn’t be more happy to fight!
"Business is business. As long as we can make money, I believe that Lin Feng will not refuse. What's more, if we go to him like this, it also means that we bow our heads. He will naturally accept it as soon as possible. Besides, everyone doesn't want us to completely agree with Lin Feng.
Let’s keep fighting, right? After all, Lin Feng still controls half of the movie screens in the United States through Ellison.” Elizabeth Murdoch said solemnly, “Keep fighting, let’s not talk about what will happen to Lin Feng in the end, it’s just us.
President, I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain to the board of directors. You don’t want to sacrifice us to help those who come after you!”
The faces of many CEOs darkened. Indeed, they will continue to fight with Lin Feng, and the outcome is hard to say. They may win, and Lin Feng may also win. But the initial chaos will make their financial statements ugly. Those
Shareholders will definitely not be satisfied. Professional managers like them will inevitably become scapegoats.
