Chapter 746: Determination(2/2)
But consider one thing, that is, the North American schedule is actually different from the Chinese schedule.
Let’s talk about summer vacation. It only starts in June in China and in May in North America.
However, the November and February schedules in North America are not suitable in China. The winter vacation in China must be at the beginning of the next year in the Gregorian calendar.
That is to say, the time around the Chinese New Year's Eve is considered a good time.
Qin Dong's current status, the movie must be released globally.
This is a reflection of status, and it is also a necessary behavior, because his status has reached this point and he cannot come randomly.
"call..."
Thinking of this, Qin Dong took a deep breath.
Considering the domestic summer vacation, well, considering the students' vacation time...
Usually around July.
"Disney..."
Thinking of this, Qin Dong turned to Caesar and said:
"Caesar..."
"[The Purge] release date remains unchanged, still June 11.
"
"As for movies coming out in July..."
"The company selected it to be released on the seventh day after Paramount's [Transformers 4]."
"It's enough to avoid the sharp edges and release it in seven days."
The reputation of this movie "Transformers 4" is not that good, but the box office is good.
But the staying power is not enough, avoiding it for seven days is enough.
Usually the box office of a movie on the first weekend, that is, the first three days of release, accounts for more than 30% of the total box office, and some are as high as 40 or 50%.
In half a month, it was basically 77-88, and about 80-90% of the total box office was harvested.
"Then it will be released on July 4th..."
"Okay, BOSS."
"It's just that [Divergent] and [The Hunger Games] are both series of movies, and one will be released in July..."
"What about the other one?"
After hearing this, Caesar pondered for a moment and calculated the time. [Transformers 4] will be released on June 27, which will be seven days later... so he said.
It's just that as the general manager of Heishui Longqi, I need to think more.
And we must respect the wishes of Qin Dong, the CEO. If someone is willing to delegate power, Caesar must not be ignorant of his interests.
"It's up to you."
Qin Dong said angrily to Caesar.
Ask him everything, he is a manager who has experienced everything personally and is a shitty manager.
"Either it will be released 14 days after July 4th..."
"Or, it will be released in November or December..."
"Either we'll talk about it next year..."
"Ask me about anything. I'll be your manager and you can be my BOSS."
Caesar smiled awkwardly, saying this was unacceptable.
How to say it is wrong.
"SO...Qin, what should I do if you still haven't mentioned your own movie?"
"Until next year?"
After watching Qin Dong, Martin still talked about Blackwater Longqi's movie, not his own movie, and asked again.
Who said he was Qin Dong's agent? It was necessary to remind his employer.
Only this time, Qin Dong heard the words and gave the order without hesitation:
"Martin, inform Warner that my movie will be released worldwide on August 1."
"It will be a good time to catch up with our domestic summer vacation, when students are on vacation, and it will be released simultaneously around the world."
Martin was stunned, this answer, this answer.
This was not the answer he wanted to hear.
Before, I thought of smart people who would make people feel reassured by their work.
Now...
After a moment of silence, Martin asked:
"Is it necessary to pick this date?"
"Does it have to be released during the summer vacation?"
Martin, who was anxious to urge Qin Dong just now, now wants to persuade Qin Dong not to show it for the time being and to change the date.
It’s not that Martin is not optimistic about the box office of Qin Dong’s movie, it’s not that Martin is afraid that he won’t be able to compete with Disney’s “Guardians of the Galaxy”.
But Martin doesn't want to see the conflict between Qin Dong and Disney getting bigger and bigger.
After all, Disney is one of the top six in Hollywood.
And after Robert Iger was promoted to president, he successively acquired other companies.
["Father of Apple" Steve Jobs's Pixar Studio], [Marvel Comics], [Marvel Studios]...
[One of the top directors in Hollywood, the famous [The Godfather of Star Wars] George Lucas's Lucasfilm], [Industrial Light and Magic]...
Wait until these companies are acquired by Disney one after another.
All of these companies were run by Robert Egger after he was promoted to president.
This person's performance during his term of office has won the trust of Disney's board of directors.
The current conflict between Qin Dong and this person is the conflict with Disney.
Martin felt that it was a big headache. Although there was no way for the two parties to fight, Martin still did not want this conflict to continue to expand.
"Martin...you just need to inform Warner..."
Qin Dong waved his hand to stop Martin from continuing.
Qin Dong knew what the other party wanted to say.
Because it was clear, I didn't bother to listen and just stopped.
He just thought about it and thought it through clearly before making this decision.
