At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 821 Memorandum Signing

In fact, these two people came here to solicit investment!
The cost of Hollywood blockbusters is getting higher and higher, and it is too difficult to expect the North American market to recover the cost. Therefore, the overseas market must be considered...but who knows if the overseas market will explode?
Wonderful Studio does not have the right to adapt comics!
It is impossible to mass-produce comics and large slices of cut leeks...

What should I do?
Risk hedging slightly!
Take money from elsewhere.

In the past, there were commercial loans, major banks provided loans, and Wall Street plattered investment funds. After the financial crisis, this type of investment has become less and less!

Now, the whole of Hollywood has its eyes on China.

In the original time and space, starting from 2012, Chinese funds began to enter Hollywood...

Capital from China has gradually become an important player in Hollywood. Chinese companies such as Wanda, Perfect World, and Dianguang Media have reached a platter investment cooperation with mainstream Hollywood film companies.

Of course, at this stage, Hollywood does not realize that the Chinese are rich, but Joseph and the others know that Shen Xudong is rich!

In addition to "Godzilla", there are "Wrath of the Gods", "Jack and the Giant", "Pacific Rim" and "The Chronicles of Wardstone"...

"Wrath of the Gods", Shen Xudong knew about this project, the sequel of "Wrath of the Gods", a blood loss work;
"Pacific Rim", Shen Xudong also knows, is also a work of blood loss;
"Jack and the Giant"...It's actually "Jack the Giant Slayer", topped the list of money-losing works in 2013, with a cost of 2 million US dollars, and the global box office is 1.3 million...

"Where did you find the items?"

"Thomas Tull presents..."

Shen Xudong pointed to the third script: "Where did you get this "Jack and the Giant"?"

"It's an adaptation of the English fairy tales 'Jack and the Beancurd' and 'Jack the Giantslayer'!"

"...also introduced by Thomas Tull?"

"Correct!"

"Then what is this "Wadstone Chronicle"?"

"...a Wizarding World movie like Harry Potter..."

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Not too famous...but the story is good..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, and I definitely won't invest...I advise you not to invest either!"

This "Wadstone Chronicle" is actually "The Last Apprentice", a total of 13 main stories, two side stories, witches, vampires, witches, skeletons and so on...

The original time and space was adapted into a movie called "The Seventh Son: The Battle of the Devil", which cost 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was [-] million. The North American box office did not reach [-] million at all...

Well, Legendary Pictures suffered various losses in those years, and its external debt exceeded one billion US dollars!
They all came out like this!
So Thomas Tull is awesome, even if he loses more than a billion yuan, he can find a receiver.

Shen Xudong is not interested in taking over - he even sold the well-funded Wonderful Studio he founded, so how could he be interested in other film companies?

Joseph and Jason didn't continue to persuade, the three chatted about other things...

After all, when we started a business and worked together, we still had a lot of common topics!

By the way, the North American copyright of "The Grandmaster" was taken by New Line, and it did not hit the Oscars. It is going to be released next year...

——I can't beat "A Separation"!

……

Entering January, the Lunar New Year stalls will continue, which is similar to what was predicted before. After the release of "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", it will go hand in hand with "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". "Dragon Gate" takes 1%, and "Thirteen Hairpins" takes 4%...

The remaining 10% will be shared by other movies!
As of January 1, "Thirteen Hairpins" has been released for 6 days, with a cumulative box office of 23 million, and 7.5 million is very likely;

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" has been released for 14 days, with a cumulative box office of 4 million. According to this trend, the final box office should be around 6.5 million!
Both movies were big hits!
Then, "Those Years" came out...

The catchphrases are 'real youth films' and 'teach mainland directors what youth films are! '

These days, Wanwan still has a bit of a reputation...

Movies, not to mention, "Cape No. [-]" is known as a great civilian epic; "Sediq Bale" has not yet been released, and it has already been hailed as the top blockbuster of Chinese-language movies! ', 'An epic war movie! ' and 'Why are Taiwan's movies better than those in mainland China?Because he is real! '

Where is he really?
He can't tell...

Cough cough, in short, after "Those Years" was released, there were all kinds of praises on the Internet, and then... "The Little Thing of First Love", which is also a youth theme and had the label "Mainland Edition (Those Years)" when it was promoted, was pushed down. !

Wanwan Capital often uses routines, pull and step...

I often use the post-75s to benchmark against the post-90s in the Mainland, bragging about their professionalism and how they have acting skills...

I still can't figure out how a Canadian-Taiwanese with no popularity in the mainland can play Hu Bayi, a veteran soldier of the People's Liberation Army?

A mainland actor with a little bit of strength became popular, and was immediately targeted—"The Pretender" and "Nirvana in Fire" made Wang Kai popular. When he was popular, he was blacked out overnight, which was really scary!
However, Zhao Youting was nominated for one of the three most authoritative TV awards in the Mainland, the Magnolia Award for actor for his dubbing!He also entered one of the final five shortlists, but no media questioned this matter!
What is this called?
Media immune treatment!

It's a pity that I met Tianmei Media this time, or Di Lieba who was blessed by "East Palace"!

Reba has many fans.

Focusing on the Weibo platform, they spontaneously countered and satirized Chen Yanxi for being ugly...

I also picked up a lot of information - fans will really dig the team's grave for their idols...

Set off a huge boycott!
But "Those Years" was cheaper, and various media reports naturally raised the movie's reputation...

On the first day of release, the box office was 660 million, the second day was 780 million, and the third day was 940 million——squeezed out "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and won the single-day box office runner-up...

Then Ke Zhendong successfully entered the mainland...

There is no way for this, Yuan Shikong, "Thirteen Years", under the attack of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", won a box office score of 7600 million...

看着不高，但你要知道《大魔术师》1月11号上映，《福尔摩斯2:诡影游戏》1月15号上映，《逆战》1月17号上映…

There is basically no gap left for "Those Years". Under this premise, it can be called a miracle to win a box office of 7600 million!

Then at the end of January, "Mission: Impossible 4" was released, and by the way, news came out: the memorandum of understanding between China and the United States was officially signed, the same as the original time and space, two contents, one: on the basis of the original introduction of 20 movies per year, 14 IMAX or 3D movies; Er: The box office share will be increased from 13% to 25%...

Many people are happy: finally they can watch the latest Hollywood movies in mainland China!

However, the industry was in a state of panic—Wanwan’s example is before us: after Taiwan’s film market was fully liberalized, in 2002, local films accounted for only 0.5% of the market share, basically dying out.

Even last year, which is known as the renaissance of Taiwanese movies - "Those Years" and "Sediq Bale" were released successively, and the share of local movies reached 15%...

　I'm watching "All or Nothing"...

　　In addition... Just now, I corrected the typo and directly changed it to the banned state...
