Chapter 882: Don’t Know How to Praise (Part 2) (44)

There is no "" added to this discomfort, it is really uncomfortable...

"Chill" is essentially a political film. The first is the fuse, the second is the layout, and the third is that it has been screened in Hong Kong.

The British have been working hard in Hong Kong for many years. In 1997, the return to basics was certain and they did not dare to make any big moves on the outside.

But the action from behind was non-stop.

In 2005, Hong Kong's "Oriental Daily News" reported on June 15 that during the renovation of Government House, which was intended to be the official residence and office of the new chief executive, it was discovered that the entire residence was covered with bugs, including the living room, bedrooms and even bathrooms. clean"…

Yes, the real-life version of eavesdropping...

In the first part of "Cold War", a case led to a dispute between two deputy directors;

The second part also introduces the forces and purposes behind both parties...

In fact, the first part of "Cold War" was just a simple plot about the strife among the top officials of the Hong Kong police. There was no foreshadowing from the Political Department. The story was complete and compact, the actors in the script were all excellent, and the literary and martial arts scenes were all exciting, so it was a double hit at the box office and word of mouth;

In the second part, the behind-the-scenes BOSS of the Hong Kong Police Political Department was suddenly introduced, and it was directly raised to the level of national security. It was impossible to control it, and it was impossible to start filming. It became a continuation of the dog's tail...

"Chilling 3" was completely impossible to film because it was too realistic!

It can be seen that "Chill" is indeed good, with behind-the-scenes configuration and top-notch cast, and it is co-produced by Jiahe and Anle.

Tianmei is responsible for issuing…

It's quite embarrassing. The box office of this movie obviously did not meet the expected results...

If it hadn't been blocked by Hollywood blockbusters, "Chilling" would have earned at least 300 million at the box office!

The current situation is that it would be good to have 180 million.

Of course, profits are guaranteed!

The cost of this movie is HK$60 million, and the advertising cost is close to HK$40 million. Including promotion costs, it is less than HK$30 million... From the perspective of market return, in the mainland market alone, the profit of "Chilling" is close to 30 million...

Jiahe is connected with many brands, and it is very convenient to implant. Longines watches, BMW cars including Shige and Ermenegildo Zegna clothing...and of course HTC mobile phones...

However, Shen Xudong still felt that it was a failure - there could have been 300 million, but it was suddenly made into 180 million!

Frustrated~

But he knows that he has tried his best. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "The Dark Knight Rises" were originally scheduled to be released on August 27, but the company did public relations and moved them to August 31...

Try your best!

By the way, Andy Lau from "Cold War" was replaced by Jacky Cheung...

Jiahe and Andy Lau will never cooperate. Even if he is a free guest star and a friendly star, Jiahe would rather pay to find Zhang Xueyou...

"Guevara's Liu Yong has no knowledge at all and is still immersed in the fantasy that he is the boss of the industry..."

"what happened?"

"I asked him about his future development plans, and he told me a lot about O2O and B2B... which made me confused!"

Chen Xi returned to BJ and directly complained about Guevara to Shen Xudong...

Due to the popularity of WeChat, the term "O2O closed loop" has become popular this year. However, most people's understanding of this term is that "online dominates transactions, provides offline services, and then returns to online." degree…

I don’t understand… Let’s put it this way, takeout is a typical O2O model: order online, deliver offline, and then pay online…

Shen Xudong was confused: "Does he want to pick you up?"

"Pick me?"

"After all, you are a trained actor, and you are pretty and smooth. It's normal for me to like you..."

Chen Xi's appearance is also outstanding. Although she is not stunning, her face is big and graceful, and she looks like a strong woman.

When she was recruited in middle school, she was trained according to the direction of the Tsing Yi School. Unfortunately, in the previous market, there was almost no room for the Tsing Yi School...

Plus, after meeting Shen Xudong, I simply switched to working behind the scenes...

Hearing what Shen Xudong said, Chen Xi suddenly realized: "...I mean, it's like a peacock courting a mate... When I asked him how much money he needed to unify the market, he said that the money was enough. Now Guevara is the number one in the market..."

Shen Xudong then asked: "Have you asked him what his response strategy will be once BAT intervenes?"

"He thinks the online ticketing market is too small and BAT doesn't like it!"

"BAT doesn't like it?"

Shen Xudong was a little speechless. There is no industry that BAT doesn’t like...

"...Doesn't he think it's a waste to push the product into the market before it's ready?"

"right!"

"Idiot... The way to play on the Internet is to spend money to gain territory and then subdivide services... This guy is definitely no match for Meituan!"

“Does Meituan also do online seat selection?”

"Hmm..." Shen Xudong nodded: "The situation in the mainland is that the Internet is developed. Once Wang Xing understands that online seat selection is a trend, he will definitely kill Guevara..."

"That…"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have invested US$50 million in Meituan's Series A financing, accounting for 15% of the shares. When the time comes, I will spend money to buy out Meituan Movies, which will be our online ticketing system... "

Hearing this, Chen Xi immediately asked: "Then you still let me contact Guevara?"

"After all, Guevara is the first online ticket seller in mainland China... I originally thought about acquiring Guevara directly... Now it seems that Guevara's team doesn't understand the Internet or movies!"

“Don’t understand movies?”

"You'll know then!"

Meituan's Maoyan Films participated in the joint distribution of the movie "The Flowers of the Heart" during the National Day Golden Week in 2014, and had an exclusive monopoly on film sources. This created a new model for film promotion and distribution, and Guevara had no tickets to sell.

Then, Guevara began to fight back and also chose to bet on movies.

They are not short of money, so they only received 400 million in financing...

During the Lunar New Year period in 2014 and the Spring Festival period in 2015, Guevara participated in the ticket replenishment war and bet on five or six movies. He even followed the same pattern and exclusively monopolized the source of "One Step Away".

However, Guevara remained the same at heart. Most of the movies he bet on were literary and artistic movies, such as "One Step Away", "Wolf Totem", "The Intruder", and "Nian Nian". These movies were not available in third or fourth-tier cities. Look, it failed miserably at the box office and 200 million yuan was squandered.

Guevara was not superstitious about big lineups and big productions, but focused on truly high-quality movies. Good movies should have good box office.

Then the market gave him a loud slap in the face.

Then, Taopiaopiao and Weiying era entered the game, and Guevara entered the countdown to bankruptcy...

Guevara had no chance of winning from the beginning!

Online movie ticketing is closely related to the entire film industry, and there are no industry barriers. It is a battleground for military strategists. The services that Guevara was proud of were nothing more than trivial matters in the eyes of the giants.

People are fighting a price war, and relying on financial backers can ensure sufficient ammunition. BAT has entered the game strongly and launched its own ticketing platform, gradually eating up market share with its advantages in funds and resources!

What does Guevara have?

feelings?

The market is very cruel, and feelings are worthless?

Since you don’t know how to praise, there is no need to be merciful...
