Guaranteed release of Hollywood blockbusters…

It was done in the original time and space, in the Weiying era!

A group of leading Chinese companies have formed a huge lineup of guarantee parties, with a specification of 2.6 billion yuan to guarantee the Chinese box office revenue of "Transformers 5"...

Then "Transformers 5" directly collapsed - the total box office did not reach 1.5 billion, which directly led to the merger of Weiying Times and Maoyan, and then Lin Ning, the CEO of Weiying Times, was eliminated.

However, the idea of ​​releasing a Hollywood blockbuster with a guaranteed guarantee is indeed novel!

"Anyway, Ali Baba is rich. Taobao promised B2C and eliminated the need for middlemen. Now they have become their own middlemen. They collect tens of billions or even hundreds of billions in rent alone every year... If I were Ali Pictures , just spend money on five movies, all with a one billion guarantee..."

Chen Xi shook his head: "Not every Hollywood movie can break one billion!"

"It's a bet... and you bought out five Hollywood blockbusters and opened up the market share all at once..." Shen Xudong continued: "When we were doing PPTV in the past, we used the American drama strategy. The slogan was 'Watch American dramas, use PPTV' ' Now Taopiao Piao can also refer to this tactic. I have already thought up the slogan for them, which is called 'Watch Hollywood blockbusters, buy tickets on Taopiao Piao'..."

"Isn't this the case of relying on foreign countries to show self-respect..."

"What's the point of relying on foreign countries to show self-respect? Big data shows that audiences prefer to watch Hollywood movies..."

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you kidding?"

Shen Xudong was stunned. Seeing that her expression was full of confusion, he quickly waved his hand: "Nonsense, of course I am joking. Hollywood must cooperate with China Film... If you want to get the mainland distribution rights, you must first secure China Film, and then we can talk..."

"I heard that BJ Culture won the release of "One Step Away" with a guarantee of one billion!"

"...Normally, in the field of content production, traditional film companies with leading resources have a strong say. A guaranteed agreement is not only a stack of bargaining chips for reaching cooperation, but also a certificate of entry into the industry!"

The release of the guarantee announcement means that the player qualifications have been obtained.

In fact, Hollywood also has "guaranteed distribution," which refers to Negative pick-up, and can also be regarded as an auxiliary investment method for film companies.

Generally corresponding to overseas distribution, some distribution companies in certain countries or regions use their strong position to buy out the regional distribution rights of the film at a certain price.

At this stage, guaranteed distribution has not yet entered a crazy stage. As capital becomes more and more popular, many distribution companies will decide to take action even before the film is completed.

At this time, in addition to obtaining distribution rights, it also wanted investment rights - Cultural Investment Holdings, the listed company behind Yaolai Pictures, also signed a 500 million guaranteed agreement before the filming of the movie "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" started, and obtained the 20% investment stake in the film.

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Why has no one discussed with me about the guaranteed release of "Love"?"

"…Would you agree?"

"If someone offers 2 billion, why wouldn't I agree?"

…

The quality of "Love" is certainly good, and the original frame is here!

The problem is that with youth + sports themes, except for Bai Jingting, who has been market-proven, the rest of the starring cast are appearing in Shen Xudong's movies for the first time, and... except for one female coach, there are no women at all in the whole movie...

There is no love line!

There is no love line in youth themes...

To be honest, if it weren't for the director's name: Shen Xudong, Tianmei would never put it on the summer schedule!

And it competes with "Tiny Times 3".

Oh, online, fans of Shen Xudong are already fighting with fans of Guo Jingming...

Literally, it’s a fight!

This is Guo Jingming's fans taking the initiative to provoke...Shen Xudong's fans are passively defensive.

The trailer of "Love" is very well edited, with three paragraphs. The first paragraph has a training hall in the background. A group of people are training seriously. The narration is: "Table tennis is a national sport. The rules are very simple. If the ball you hit is not caught by the opponent, then Win, 11 points per game. Players on each side of the game take turns to serve two balls. After serving, they exchange serves. Whoever reaches 11 points first wins the game and moves on to the next game. ’

In the second paragraph, the club selects members to participate in the city-wide competition. The narration sounds: "The essence of competition is the duel of geniuses. For example, pick two or three people at random and have Liu Xiang as a teacher. Liu Xiang does what they do. Do you think they can train them?" The second Liu Xiang?

Effort is the means to success, and talent is the necessary condition for success. ’

Some people say that hard work is also a kind of talent, because hard work requires persistence. Persistence comes from your patience and willpower. As an athlete, if you have talent, if you don't practice for five out of ten days, you will basically be useless. ’

'You are right, but... when it comes to professional athletes, everyone practices the same things. There is no athlete I know who doesn't work hard. If you work hard and still perform so poorly, I suggest you quit!

If 'success' can be achieved by just 'working hard', then 'success' would be too simple! ’

In the third segment, Bai Jingting is about to appear. Opposite him is the big boss Zhang Daxun, played by Wei Daxun. He is the king and star of the SY City high school table tennis competition, and he is also the absolute king!

The narration came again: ‘What is effort? Isn’t the premise of hard work suffering? That’s why you need to force yourself to do it. But when you really love table tennis, do you need to work hard for it? Isn’t it a kind of enjoyment to do something you love? ’

‘If you don’t have talent, you just can’t do it. This is the cruelty of professional sports. But just because your table tennis career is over, it doesn’t mean your life is over too! There is nothing wrong with loving table tennis. Besides, playing table tennis is so fun...'

Subtitles light up: On July 17, "Love" will be released nationwide...

Fans of Shen Xudong... have always looked down on Guo Jingming and his fans, starting from the writing stage. Shen Xudong debuted in martial arts novels, "The Best in the World", then "Zhu Xian", and then "Struggle" and "Snail House", in terms of sales All the way to crushing Guo Jingming’s works!

As for royalties... Shen Xudong later 'created' "The Hunger Games", which sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. Although there is no precise data, there is an estimated royalty income: 23 million US dollars!

What does Guo Jingming compare with Shen Xudong?

Originally they were two parallel lines!

Now, "Tiny Times 3" and "Love" are released only one day apart, which clearly shows their competitive relationship with each other...

Fans of Guo Jingming thought of a very tricky angle - the box office of director Shen Xudong's debut "Famous" was not as good as that of director Guo Jingming's debut "Little Times"!

This... "Famous" was released in 2007, with a box office revenue of 246 million, ranking second on the mainland box office list that year...

But purely from a statistical perspective, the first part of "Tiny Times" had a box office of 427 million, which is indeed higher than that of "Famous".

Not only that, Guo Jingming's fans also said that Shen Xudong only knows how to hug his thighs...

Isn't this...his ability?
