Chapter 2996

Little Fox's eyes were full of bloodshot. Nicotine and alcohol could hardly calm him down. His surging emotions were like the sea in summer.

Sometimes he was so calm that people felt the gentleness of the cradle of life, and sometimes he was so violent that he was like a drunk stepfather. He would not only be beaten, but also suffer.

Many years ago, when he just graduated from college, he did not have any good plans for the future. The biggest possibility was to inherit his father's business and become an invisible rat in the sewer.

He was engaged in the family business - operating a loan shark business.

From today's perspective, the loan sharks at that time were really fucking conscientious!

Only a little interest was needed to give the money to the poor who were in urgent need of money, and the debt collection method was also very gentle. At most, it was to intimidate and threaten at the door, or use some other methods.

Compared with the loan shark industry at that time, the bank was like that stepfather!

At least Old Fox would not sell a house worth 100,000 yuan for 20,000 yuan, and then deduct the 500 yuan owed to himself, and return the remaining 1500 yuan to the debtor.

At most, he took away something worth about five hundred dollars, and the matter was over.

But the bank, they would do this.

Little Fox, who had never seen the ugly face of capital, hated the business of old Fox at that time. He was a college student, although not a famous university, but at that time he had already got a ticket to class transition.

He only needed to enter a big company step by step, and then contribute ten years of youth to the capitalist masters, and he would be able to become a member of the glorious middle class.

So he didn't really want to inherit the things of old Fox, the farm in the countryside, a group of bastards with no brains but only muscles and violence, the family's criminal business, and a lot of debt and debt disputes, and a pile of black money that was not visible.

Until Lynch appeared, he and his father saw the great power of capital, and he felt that capital was so fascinating for the first time.

It was precisely because he began to understand capital that he was extremely eager to become capital.

Capital is the source of everything that dominates this world!

Fortunately, relying on the cooperative relationship between Lynch and old Fox, Fox Films finally achieved great success.

If there hadn't been this damn ice age, he would still be living a comfortable life now.

He could change his bedmates every day, and they were all female stars.

In order to appear on the big screen, many women wanted to climb into his bed at all costs, and he even had to select those women.

Not all women, as long as they had beautiful appearances, could definitely climb into his bed.

His bed was not so easy to climb, and some other things were needed.

But everything was ruined with the abnormal temperature changes.

The successive decision-making errors put the entire company in the most dangerous situation. The construction of the shelter almost used up all the company's funds, and the result was predictable.

Not only could the right to live in the shelter not be sold at a high price, but he also had to bear the minimum living security of those residents.

He had sold the copyrights of most of the films in the film library, all copyrights!

This barely lasted until now, and the three films shot later did not achieve the expected results due to sales reasons, which made the situation of Fox Film even worse.

Now the film company is still very active, because the global communication system has been constantly improving, and even at home, you can watch various movies for a fee.

They only need to open one of the movie channels at the designated time, and then swipe their personal account once, and the whole family can enjoy a happy journey.

This playback fee model was not favored by people at first, but as the market response was more gratifying than expected, film companies around the world began to join the new wave.

In fact, in the past, a popular movie would have a box office of about two to three million in the federation, or even higher.

According to the calculation of 99 cents per ticket, there are hundreds of people who will watch these movies.

But now, the price of watching a movie is three dollars, but it faces 700 million to 800 million terminal customers around the world.

Even if ten or twenty of these terminal customers watch the same TV, if their room can accommodate them, there are potential 37.5 million charging opportunities.

Among them, only one in ten people can get three dollars and are willing to watch, so the actual box office may be as high as 10 million!

Excluding the film broadcasting fees of the Global Communications Satellite, the joint distribution fees, the advertising fees, the card swiping fees, etc., they can at least get more than 5 million!

Well, if we reduce this number by half, it will be more than 2.5 million.

The actual situation is actually much higher than this number, which makes many top movies almost vomit out their investment!

According to the statistics of Global Communication for high-end user groups, more than 70% of film companies are profitable!

After all, three dollars can allow many people to watch a movie, and each person may only need to pay ten cents, which is hard to refuse for a refuge lacking entertainment activities.

Moreover, the economy is still recovering. Although people's income is not as high as in the past, the purchasing power of currency is very strong, and it is actually not much different from the past income.

The failure of Fox Film's three consecutive films was due to their haste.

The board of directors was very dissatisfied with the current situation and asked Fox to reverse the loss-making situation as soon as possible, otherwise they might have to take necessary measures.

But how could Fox Pictures, which had lost a large amount of film inventory, its contracted actors, directors and screenwriters, and almost all film and television shooting teams, organize a successful team in a short time?

Moreover, transportation is very inconvenient now, and many people in the industry are concentrated in some more advantageous shelters or official shelters.

They can only select some people from the few barely usable people to try.

There is no doubt that an assistant director who thinks his talent can never be used, a photographer who can only be a secondary lens, a group of unprofessional screenwriters and even less professional actors have ruined Fox Pictures' last chance.

Now, its life is about to come to an end.

Fox sighed deeply, the company is completely out of money.

If this movie still cannot bring profits, then he is really finished.

But he has seen the sample film, he can't deceive himself, he, and this company that old Fox and his hard work have poured into, are going to be finished.

He fell asleep unconsciously. When it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, he woke up with a start, picked up the phone and called the secretary in the office.

"How much is the box office?"

The secretary's voice sounded a little surprised, "It's close to fifty thousand, Mr. Fox."

Little Fox was a little more energetic, he rubbed his face, "This is much better than the previous three damn projects, you keep an eye on the box office and contact me anytime, anywhere."

This is the first day. There are a total of twenty global movie channels. A new movie will be scheduled in the first three days with high density, and then dynamically adjusted according to sales.

For example, some popular movies will be played 24 hours a day, or even on several channels at the same time.

After the new movie is released, it will be played every three hours, and it will be played dynamically on different channels, which is roughly equivalent to uninterrupted rolling playback, but after three days, the density will go down, and it will be played every four to six hours on a single channel.

Then it will be played three times a day, twice a day, and then every day or every two or three days.

Once the number of paying users drops to a certain level, it will be directly taken off the screen.

This is a very cruel market, because movies from all over the world are constantly competing in twenty channels.

But the good news is that Globalcom will expand the number of satellites for broadcasting, and will continue to add ten to twenty channels.

At that time, the competition will be smaller.

According to the release of new movies, it is close to 50,000, which is a good number.

Because the peak viewing period is after 8 pm and before 2 am, as long as this time period can be popular, the film can recover its cost, and then no matter how many broadcasts are made, it will be profitable!

However, the evaluation of this movie is not high. Many film critics think that its plot is too old-fashioned and has no novelty. It is a very ordinary modern urban fashion drama.

And there are no big stars in it. Whether it is the director, photographer, screenwriter, or male and female protagonists or supporting roles, they are all ordinary people who can't be more ordinary, not even small stars.

The acting is still unsatisfactory. Most film review agencies in the shelter gave the evaluation of "not recommending to waste money".

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Little Fox sat on the sofa and chose a good channel according to the "Movie Guide".

The title of Fox Pictures appeared on the TV screen on time, and then the movie was played for five minutes.

He decisively paid by swiping his phone card, and the movie continued to play.

Watching it again, he still felt that the movie was not very good, but he longed for a miracle!

When the movie ended while he was distracted, he wanted to call to ask how much the box office was, but he held back.

"Maybe people haven't noticed it yet. There are three more shows. I'll ask again after two o'clock. There should be a good result at that time..."

A few hours later, he contributed four "movie films" by himself. When he took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, picked up the phone and dialed the number, his heart was beating violently.

"How much is the box office?"

The uneasy expression on his face gradually solidified, became indifferent, and finally calmed like death.

His head was full of buzzing tinnitus. He hung up the phone and sat on the sofa.

After a long time, he covered his face with his hands, bent down, and let out a heavy sigh...
