Chapter 479: There Are Few Good Movies!
"Actually, you haven't thought about it yet." Yin Jun continued to ponder and said, "Any supply and demand side is not static. If the film company is strong, then the theater chain must be restricted. If the theater chain is strong, then the film The company in turn requires theaters. For example, Redstone’s National Entertainment Company, which is located in the most elite Northeast region of the United States, is next to New York, the largest state in the universe. Such a theater company has always been a movie theater. It's impossible to say that it's okay for me to give up on you!"
Huo Jianning shook his head, "Even if it is very important, it doesn't mean that the theater is qualified to show off! After all, the content is provided by other film companies. Without a film company, what is a theater?"
"When one day, there will be so many film companies? For example, when there are dozens of film companies or hundreds of film companies." Yin Jun said, "At that time, everyone thinks that they are good movies, so what should we do? You don't please the theaters, Can you still order them?"
"How is it possible?" Huo Jianning laughed dumbfounded, "Hollywood film companies have a tacit understanding, and under normal circumstances they will not choose to collide, and they will definitely separate the schedules."
"This is because there are not enough movies and the competition is not fierce enough." Yin Jun said lightly, "After the relationship between supply and demand changes, there will naturally be corresponding changes."
It is impossible for him to give an example. For example, at the end of 2016, you may not think that Feng Baoya is the number one commercial director in Huaguo, but Wang Gongzi said he would not arrange for you if he said he would not arrange for you. What can you do if you didn't meet your expectations?
When theaters reach a certain point, they definitely have a huge influence on the film company.
The United States is a little bit better, everyone pays attention to the rules of the game, but in mainland China, or even in places like Xiangjiang Baodao, it is true that the theater chain is bigger than your film company.
Therefore, Yin Jun will not choose to distribute movies in the mainland if he has not solved his theater problem.
Ding Linxiang nodded, "Okay, we will consider Redstone to help you, but his 58 movie theaters and 205 screens are much worse than the demand of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"! What about the rest? ?”
"The so-called embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest. As long as we open a hole in Lei Shidong, more small and medium-sized theaters will join in. At that time, we can organize a temporary theater to let "Winning Treasure" "Adventure Soldiers" shines!" Yin Jun said confidently.
"You really have confidence." Huo Jianning smiled.
Although he is not as confident as Yin Jun, who wouldn't want his boss to be an energetic and optimistic person?
Only such a person can be successful.
Before, he had a bet with Yin Jun. If the global box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was less than 300 million US dollars, Yin Jun would give him a villa on the top of Victoria Peak. On the contrary, if the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" exceeded After spending 300 million U.S. dollars, he will work for Yin Jun for ten years.
In fact, after filming "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Huo Jianning has already affirmed that such an excellent movie should have a global box office of 300 million US dollars.
Even if "Raiders of the Lost Ark" did not reach the box office of 300 million US dollars, Huo Jianning actually made up his mind to start a career with Yin Jun.
Because, in the past half a year, Huo Jianning, who has been paying attention to Xiangjiang, knows several important things Yin Jun has done.
If "Kirin Weekly" and the booklet made Yin Jun's wealth soaring, which is the focus of people's attention, Huo Jianning paid more attention to Yin Jun's layout of the overall industry.
For example, buying shares of Cheung Kong Group, controlling Kowloon Bus absolutely, becoming the largest shareholder of Taohua Datong, buying a second type of land exchange rights and interests, etc., all of which revolve around real estate, making Huo Jianing feel that Yin Jun's mind is very clear.
Especially the trick of free newspapers is a bit earth-shattering.
Huo Jianning himself is a genius, he was not in the vortex of Xiangjiang, he saw Yin Jun's meaning clearly at once.
This is to grasp the public opinion as quickly as possible, make yourself the loudest one in Xiangjiang, and then you can carry out various business promotions of your own.
Sure enough, a few days ago Huo Jianning saw the "Kirin Daily" constantly promoting the land of Niutaujiao.
If you want to make a fortune in Xiangjiang, only real estate is the best way out. Since Yin Jun has such a leisurely layout, it proves that he has his own ideas in his chest and knows what to do in his 3-, 5-, or even 10-year plan.
Following such a person, you never have to worry that he will lose his ambition or go in the wrong direction.
Who wouldn't want to follow a successful boss?
...
Lei Shidong was very happy to see his savior again, but when he saw Ding Linxiang beside Yin Jun, he frowned.
Huo Jianning was directly ignored by him.
"Jun, where's Teresa?" Lei Shidong asked after sitting down.
"She's going to Japan to prepare a record album." Yin Jun nodded, "This is my assistant Ding Linxiang, who followed me to the United States to deal with some matters."
"Teresa is prettier than her." Lei Shidong muttered.
Ding Linxiang blushed and wanted to refute him that she had nothing to do with the little boss.
But Yin Jun said in advance, "Don't worry, Summer, I know what to do."
Although Lei Shidong is ruthless and domineering in his career like ordinary successful people, he has no interest in women. He is guarding one of the largest entertainment groups in Hollywood, and he has no scandals.
He and Yin Jun are friends in need, and like Deng Lijun, the friendship established in times of crisis is often relatively strong.
After the steak and lamb chops were served, Yin Jun asked while eating, "Summer, the summer vacation is coming soon, how is your movie theater arrangement?"
"Hey, don't mention it, except for 20th Century Fox's "Star Wars 2", the other major film companies have produced some bad films, and it's annoying to watch. It's not as good as some small film companies!" Lei Shi Dong shook his head, "This year's summer film, I guess there is no money to make money, it is not as good as last year! These big film companies are all idiots! I don't know what movies they have made in the past few years! They didn't even show the summer film. Already!"
The most important season of the year for the North American film market is the summer, followed by Christmas and New Years. The rest of the time is basically cannon fodder time. Of course, there are also many good movies that rise during this off-season, such as The forever classic Titanic.
But it is undeniable that as long as you have an ambitious movie, you basically want to compete for these two schedules.
It is a supreme honor to fight out among a group of ferocious opponents!
"Star Wars 2" was actually filmed last year, but the post-production, especially the production of special effects, took too much time, so it was not released until May this year.
Faced with such a super-ruthless opponent, the films of other companies all backed down one after another.
Even Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is scheduled to be released in June.
Strictly speaking, May is not the best time for summer vacation, but now there is no rule of a maximum of one month for large-scale releases. If your box office is good, two or three months are fine.
20th Century Fox's plan is to dominate the 5th, 6th, and 7th months.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the previous life was released in June next year, but because of Yin Jun's intervention and Spielberg's sufficient funds, it happened a year earlier.
Although the two movies overlap, to be honest, it usually takes a month for a movie to hit the box office. For example, "Titanic" is watched twice by each fan on average, and female fans can watch it up to 5 times. There is no second example - even "Avatar" is the same, without the high ticket price of 3D and IMAX, it is too difficult for it to surpass "Titanic"!
Therefore, the impact of the two films is not great, and they can continue to catch the good schedule of the summer file, making Lucasfilm once again famous.
Yin Jun nodded and asked: "Oh, what do you think of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? Did you go to the screening meeting to watch it?"
"You also know this movie?" Lei Shidong's steak knife stopped, and he said with a little surprise, "I just said that the small film company did a good job, and I was referring to it. As expected of Director Spielberg Yes, written by Lucas and acted by Harrison Ford. This movie is very interesting. The scenes, actions, dialogues, and situations are well controlled. I like it very much. It's a pity..."
He didn't say the last sentence, presumably because Yin Jun was not in the industry and couldn't tell him.
"If you watched it, how could you not know the relationship between me and this movie?" Yin Jun spread his hands, "Summer, Teresa is an important supporting role in it!"
"ah?"
Lei Shidong was shocked, "Teresa? Is it really Teresa!? I said why the Chinese woman there is a bit like her...but thinner and darker than her...and you know, in our In my eyes, you Asians all look alike...Wow, Jun, you mean, you and Lucas and Spielberg are considered friends? That's why Teresa can participate in the filming?"
Deng Lijun is not fat, but it is not easy to lose weight.
This time, because I went to Europe, traveled around, and filmed in hot places, I naturally lost a lot of weight, especially beautiful in the camera.
Although Lei Shidong thought it was a bit fake, he didn't expect Teresa Teng to act in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". He thought that there were more oriental women who looked alike.
"I invested 20 million in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark", accounting for two-thirds of the total investment." Yin Jun said leisurely, "So, when it encounters unfair treatment, I will coming."
