Chapter 1018

James Qin, also known as Qin Hao, is no longer as strong as before at this moment.

In fact, it's not that Hollywood, or those filmmakers in North America, must be more domineering. This kind of thing is two-sided.

Tianmeng is obviously an investor, but they put their attitude too low. As a result, others think that they are really stupid people with a lot of money.

This naturally contributed to their prestige. James Qin is a new commercial director in North America, but in fact, the resources that Chinese directors like James Qin can obtain in Hollywood in North America are far less than those of white directors.

And the reason why he became invincible is actually very simple. The ancient emperors were called long live long live every day, and eunuchs were around every day, all kinds of flattery came without money, no matter how sensible people would become arrogant .

In the early days, Tianmeng treated James Qin and other Hollywood "famous directors" with a similar attitude of kneeling and licking.

Naturally, James Qin and others began to swell.

That's why James Qin, also known as Qin Hao, made a low-level mistake when he had the final editing rights.

In fact, it can't be said to be a mistake. In fact, perhaps for those top commercial directors in North America, the pursuit of so-called art is not so urgent.

But for James Qin, he is very eager to obtain artistic affirmation.

As a result, he began to add a lot of his own ideas to a blockbuster movie worth more than 2 million dollars.

A 158-minute movie, doesn't he know that such a length of time will do a lot of damage to the movie itself?In particular, this is still a commercial movie. Although it is not a pure popcorn movie, it is actually not far from it.

And when Ou Zhengqun persuaded him, he resolutely refused.

Finally he drank the bitter wine he brewed.

He didn't fully wake up until this moment. It's not that he can't have artistic pursuits, but he absolutely can't make such a ridiculous move on such a big project.

He only remembered that the funding for this movie came from Tianmeng Films in Huaguo, but he forgot that an A-level major production is an A-level major production.

No one would risk a multi-billion dollar project like this.

It knows no borders!
The failure of this "Mystery of the World Atlantis" had a fatal negative impact on him.

So today it is difficult for him to receive A-level masterpieces, because he has overdrawn the fame brought by his previous three films.

And if he wants to stand up, the only chance, and also the best chance, is to make an appointment with the rest of the Tianmeng!
That's why he was so polite to Liang Si!

Liang Si still attached great importance to James Qin. Don't look at it as if James Qin seemed to be overwhelmed and a little swollen this time, which led to failure.

But among these people who can succeed in succession, who can stand out among so many people, which one is the real fool?
How can a person who doesn't know how to be flexible get along well in this circle?
And, in fact, James Chin cannot be regarded as a complete failure.

The box office of "Atlantis, Mystery of the World" in China also exceeded 10 billion, reaching 14.8 billion!
Although this result can't be compared with "The Martian", it's not too bad!

The box office in North America was less than [-] million US dollars, and the box office overseas, except for Huaguo, also got a box office comparable to that in North America.

The global box office has also exceeded 6 million US dollars!
Such a result is actually not too bad!
After all, the results of "The Martian" are actually the box office crushing of "Atlantis", the box office here in Huaguo. In other overseas countries, the results of "The Martian" are not so good. On the same level as "Mystery of the World Atlantis"!
In fact, the biggest problem lies with the Tianmeng.

"Mystery of the World Atlantis" Tianmeng paid a huge price just to get the right to adapt it. At the same time, the lack of distribution channels, as well as the remuneration of Hollywood directors and actors, etc., are too high, so "Mystery of the World" The final total production cost of Mystery Atlantis far exceeded $2 million.

Coupled with the cost of publicity and distribution, it can be said that it has reached nearly 4 million US dollars, and those starring and director James Qin, as well as the author of "Mystery of the World", will participate in the box office share.

This makes it impossible for Tianmeng to see any possibility of profit in "Mystery of the World Atlantis".

Of course, it doesn’t mean that it’s impossible, but that they want to make a profit. Ou Zhengqun, the former CEO of Tianmeng, made a statistic that at least the global box office must exceed 12 billion U.S. dollars before it is possible to really pay back. In fact, most of the profits are Taken away by other Hollywood star directors, screenwriters, etc. who are called foreign workers by Tianmeng!
By the way, there is also Mina Films, the distributor of this movie in Hollywood.

Of course, if the box office really exceeds 12 billion U.S. dollars, then "Mystery of the World Atlantis" will definitely not be as simple as paying back. There are very few, or the proportion of box office revenue is getting smaller and smaller.

But why are you still chasing high box office so much?
In fact, it is very simple, the box office is the weather vane, especially the box office trend in North America is often regarded by overseas theaters as the key to the success or failure of a film.

The North American box office is good, and the overseas box office will not be too bad.

The same goes for DVDs, peripheral products for film and television, Internet copyrights, TV rights, and so on.

These prices are based on the box office of the movie!
The box office of movies is high, and these prices will naturally rise accordingly.

If the box office of the movie is low, it proves that the market does not buy it, then the prices of these peripherals will naturally be low.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, some films that hit the Oscars. These films usually get a good box office after being nominated, and DVD and other copyrights will also start to increase in price because of this nomination or award. !
This is why so many films want to participate in film festivals.

Because once you win the award, you will have fame, and if you have a publicity gimmick, people will buy it.

Why did the directors of early literary films in China continue to make films?Even if their films can't even enter the domestic theaters at all, they even commit crimes against the wind and directly shoot banned films!
Where does their confidence come from?

Are those investors really stupid?of course not.

If there is no profit, no matter how much you brag, only those who are really stupid and rich will invest.

And are those investors really stupid and rich?

Of course not, knowing that there must be no profit but still investing?That's a fool!
In the early years, the directors of literary and artistic films in China, although it was difficult for their films to make a difference in the commercial box office, they could go to film festivals, and if they were lucky enough to win awards, it would be very easy to make money.

In fact, it can also be said to be a kind of bet, betting on whether this movie can get nominations and awards!
