Chapter 1390 Oligarchy Thinking
"Zbie-Master" opened 15 hours, and it was confirmed that the box office was 18.5 million US dollars on the first day, and it immediately made the headlines of North American entertainment news. The news was also passed to China at a very fast speed.
18.5 million US dollars, not only broke the single-day box office record of all Chinese-language films in North America, but also broke the single-day box-office record of all foreign-language films in North America! This is definitely the strongest box office performance of Chinese-language films in overseas markets!
When the news reached Huaxia, Huaxia was still in the early morning. After receiving this amazing news, the major TV stations and newspapers immediately started to work overtime to prepare the news reports for the next day. The TV media began to prepare the material for the morning news. The newspaper office is very embarrassed. The newspaper has completed the news layout of the day and is now starting the printing in the printing plant. In another hour or two, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies of the newspaper will be sent from the printing plant to various places, so It is basically impossible to add this news to the newspapers of the day now.
The news program editors of major radio stations also began to sort out news and write press releases overnight, so that they could be the first to broadcast on traffic broadcasts early tomorrow morning to seize the opportunity.
At the same time, Li Mu received the latest news from Lucas excitedly. All major theaters in North America have increased the lineup of "Zbie-Master" tomorrow, and the total box office of the film lineup has increased from the original 20 million US dollars to 33 million. Dollars, that is to say, if the attendance rate can reach 90% tomorrow, you can basically get a one-day box office of 30 million US dollars!
According to the current operation process of the Muying ticketing system in North America, the cinema chain must upload the next day's film scheduling plan to the official server before 5:30 pm on the same day. For example, my cinema has 8 screening halls, each screening hall There are 5-6 screenings. I will decide which films will be shown in the eight screening halls for a total of more than 40 screenings, and then upload the information to the Muying Ticketing System, and then the Muying Ticketing System will release these screening arrangements. You can make a purchase.
When the cinema line uploads the schedule for the next day, the official has a 30-minute window for confirmation and modification. During this period, the cinema line can make adjustments to the arrangement, but until 6:00 p.m. on the same day, the Muying ticketing system will The permission to modify will be locked, and then the theater schedule for tomorrow will be launched, and seat purchases will be opened. In this case, the theater can no longer make any changes to the schedule for the next day. Once the theater changes the schedule without authorization, the user will suffer If the ticket cannot be viewed after purchasing, the Muying Ticketing System will punish the theater, ranging from deducting compensation from the ticket payment to be settled, or directly terminating the cooperation with the theater.
In China in later generations, when the Internet developed rapidly, cinemas could buy movie tickets at least two days in advance, and some could even buy tickets three days or more in advance. There are no competing products, so Li Mu did not set too high requirements for the pre-purchase period. After these theaters are thoroughly familiar with the operation process of online ticket sales, they will extend the pre-sale period.
In order to further enhance the box office appeal, Li Mu,
Specially called Zhao Kang late at night and assigned him a new naval mission.
With his unremitting efforts and training, Zhao Kang's navy has become a super navy team with extremely strong combat effectiveness. This team is not only a low-end network navy, but more importantly, Zhao Kang is in Li Mu's team. Under the instigation, a real high-end think tank has been built. There are more than 20 top students who are well versed in marketing, publicity and user psychology. They are helping Zhao Kang to make plans and implement implementation. With the help of these high-quality talents, now Zhao Kang's water army can It is easy to carry out naval propaganda on the Internet in any country and in any language. They do not need to understand other languages, and they only need to operate according to the hands-on tutorial.
This time, Li Mu is going to let Zhao Kang's navy show such a story on the Internet. The core of the story is: a self-righteous arrogant idiot, because he looked down on "Zbie-Master", lost a huge amount of wealth, and was severely slapped in the face .
Such jokes are popular among the people who eat melons. For example, some films have been vigorously promoted during the release stage: a certain star missed the opportunity to play a certain role in a certain movie because of a temporary increase in price. Now this film has exploded. Fire, so-and-so star must regret to die, right?
Interestingly, when Shui Jun was promoting such news, he never stated who a certain star was, so the people who were eating melons started to imaginatively. Some people thought it was A, some thought it was B, some thought it was C, and then they returned. There are a lot of sailors who specialize in rhythm on the Internet, so a large group of people who eat melons ridicule A, B, and C on the Internet, saying that they have no eyes, they ignored others at first, and now others make them unable to climb high...
No matter what country the people who eat melons like this kind of face-slapping scenes, Chinese netizens are like this, and North American netizens are no exception.
Therefore, Li Mu was going to take the famous Harvey Weinstein out this time to touch the porcelain. He explained to Zhao Kang and asked his navy to make up such a story on the Internet:
At the beginning, Li Mu gave "Zbie-Master" to Harvey Weinstein, a famous Hollywood film and television tycoon, hoping that he could help distribute ¥ in North America, but Harvey Weinstein did not look down on this movie at all. He hadn't seen the film yet, so he told Li Mu, "Based on what I know about the North American market, I can tell you without watching this film that this film is a piece of shit, and it's a piece of more than a dozen pieces. Years of old shit, North American audiences will not pay for shit like this!"
Here, to highlight Harvey Weinstein's arrogance, he didn't even watch the movie, and he presumptuously concluded that this movie was not good, it was shit, and such pretenders were the most annoying no matter what country they were in.
Then, before the story ended, Li Mu put down his worth and begged Harvey Weinstein to watch the movie before making a decision, but Harvey Weinstein still refused, he said to Li Mu: "I'm not as good as the Internet. You, but you are far worse than me in making movies. If I say this movie can’t work, it will definitely not work. It’s God’s blindness that its box office in North America can break through 10 million US dollars!”
So, Li Mu can only use ¥ to cooperate with Lucas, and Lucas will be in charge of North American distribution, and now, look at how popular this movie is! It has not been released for 24 hours, and it has already won the box office of 18.5 million US dollars, which completely slaps Harvey Weinstein. Presumably Harvey Weinstein must be very depressed now? Deserved! At the beginning you loved and ignored this movie, but now this movie makes you unable to climb high!
After Zhao Kang heard Li Mu's idea, he was shocked for a long time before he said, "I understand, I will arrange for someone to prepare."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Kang asked carefully: "But Xiaomu, I want to ask by the way, how did this Harvey Weinstein offend you?"
Li Mu laughed: "He didn't offend me."
Zhao Kang exclaimed: "I didn't offend you, why did you treat him like this... If this is done, his reputation will be bad, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Kang Zi, believe me, this guy is not a good person."
"Really?" Zhao Kang asked curiously, "What did this fellow do?"
Li Mudao: "This person cheated on Huaxia directors and film companies, and offered Huaxia Films millions of dollars to buy overseas distribution rights. After other competitors withdrew, he immediately turned his face and didn't want it, and then used ten percent of the price. I bought it at a price of one, because there is no competitor, and finally the copyright owner of the film can only admit that it is unfortunate and sell the copyright to him at a low price.”
"I'm grass, such a bastard!"
Li Mu said with a smile: "This is still light, let me tell you this, I have a gossip, it is said that this guy has violated a lot of Hollywood actresses, but because he has a lot of influence and strength in Hollywood, he does not People dare to stand up and speak..."
"brute……"
Li Mu said: "That's why I decided to use him to make a knife. Who made him influential in Hollywood? In the future, I want to grab a bit of voice in Hollywood. All such influential oligarchs are my targets! Because No other oligarchs are allowed in the field I am involved in!"
Most of the time, Li Mu concentrates on development and rarely shows his fangs to the outside world, but this does not mean that Li Mu is just a young cute newcomer who only knows how to work hard and does not know how to intrigue.
I have no grudges or grudges with Harvey, and if I'm reasonable, I shouldn't go to the back door to harm others for my own interests. The crux of the problem is that capital confrontation never makes sense.
In the years when Baojie and Lianhe Lihua entered Huaxia, they almost bought out the state-owned daily chemical brands. There are so many immoral competition methods behind this. Just the price war has killed many local daily chemical brands. They use At that time, preferential policies were given to foreign capital when attracting investment, to squeeze the living space of local brands, and even lower the retail price to lower than the cost price of similar products of local brands. After dragging local brands into the quagmire, they took the opportunity to acquire them. One by one, they broke down the local brands one by one, and finally formed their own absolute monopoly position. In front of them, every local brand that refused to accept the acquisition was constantly suffering from their various kinds.
There are many more unethical things behind this. For example, the acquisition of the local laundry detergent brand "Panda" promised to vigorously promote this local brand after the acquisition, but the brand was frozen immediately after the acquisition, which was originally famous in the country. The brand disappeared in an instant, and the market space originally occupied was immediately divided up by their own products.
Although such a thing is immoral, it is the true portrayal of capital confrontation. The fundamental of capital confrontation is four words: kill the opponent. If you want to add a scope to these four words, it is: kill everything. opponent.
Li Mu wants to increase his influence in Hollywood, and even become an oligarch in Hollywood. The first thing is to kill all the oligarchs in Hollywood at this stage. If he can't even figure this out, what can he do to become an oligarch?
Li Mu is not a punisher who acts for heaven, nor is he a pure and kind little boy. He just feels that after jumping out of the country, he doesn't have to be so upright. On the contrary, he must have enough oligarchic thinking.
Therefore, in the future, on the road of overseas capital expansion, when you encounter the pit, you will be pitted, and if you meet the right one, you will kill. Everyone tried to swim by their own abilities, but without exception they all drowned!
