NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Valentine's Eve.

Hollywood Opera House.

Broadway umi theater.

Lovers sat in the cinema in twos and threes, looking forward to the night of gunfire.

The premiere of Super God Entertainment's "Pounding Heart" will be held in these two places respectively.

Jiang Chao is now using a very "hypocritical" film marketing method in the next few years, that is, notifying the film channel and various film media to hold a premiere meeting before the film is released. Simply put, it is to make more news in the newspapers. .

The combination of premiere + point screening can make point screening equivalent to a small-scale first release for half a month, but its reputation is good and fast, so the choice of point screening is good, otherwise the effect is also very scary. I have seen point screening Senior movie fans post a few critical posts, and the box office may lose millions.

Following the Knicks' success in recruiting Yao Ming, Chaoshen Entertainment also made its debut.

Jiang Chao rushed to Hollywood, and Zhang Xiaolong was also here. This deputy is really dedicated to his responsibilities now. Anyway, his "Super Chat" platform can be developed anywhere with a computer, so it is natural for Jiang Chao's main business.

In his view, Chaochao is just a new "newcomer" added recently, and the "film and television" sector that Jiang Chao has cultivated for a long time is bound to blossom and bear fruit.

Lily Collins deserves to be the most beautiful woman with thick and wide eyebrows. She came up with a diving hug:

"Brother Jiang Chao, you are here!"

Jiang Chao rubbed her hair, and naturally saw the weakness of her father sitting in the front row of the auditorium, kissed her on the side of the cheek and said with a smile:

"It's been hard work on you for the promotion!"

Then he turned around and asked how the director's premiere would be received.

Here the actor Bryce Ross happily shakes hands with Jiang Chao:

"Very good, all seats are full, this Valentine's Day, many boys will dislike their girlfriends!"

"How to say?" Jiang Chao looked at the handsome boy and smiled.

"After watching this, all boys will envy such a girlfriend! This is the love that our boys dream of!"

"Yes, yes, Lily's acting skills should remind many people of their first love." He patted Lily's head and smiled.

This is the reason why he chose "Snow White", pure, youthful, the appearance alone is full of sense of substitution, the appearance of the first love in the dream may be based on her as a template.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiaolong was a little worried. He tentatively asked Jiang Chao if he could change the plot a little bit.

As a master of Chinese and American culture, he said that this movie is too weak.

"Well, it's okay, Manager Zhang, please explain carefully."

To be honest, Jiang Chao has rarely heard dissenting voices in his ears. He was quite happy to hear such different voices, and he likes such loyal people!

Then Zhang Xiaolong said that American people may prefer vigorous love, and although the production team thinks that American adults will feel the same, they will never come to the theater to watch it a second time, and they will not recommend friends to watch it. They will feel dull tasteless.

Spending money to watch such bland movies is something American moviegoers are unwilling to do now.

They prefer impulsive and violent stimulation.

Jiang Chao nodded:

"I know what you said, that's why I'm targeting the Asian market and word of mouth."

Zhang Xiaolong:

"That must be. I think this piece is more suitable for the Asian market. Our Asian tastes definitely prefer this small and fresh one."

The two exchanged opinions, and Jiang Chao also felt the talents displayed by Zhang Xiaolong.

After all, "Pounding Heartbeat" belongs to the category of literary and romantic movies, and it is the kind that needs to buy a CD and watch it slowly at home many times.

And the literary films that Americans like are the kind of wandering poets, like road films that go all the way and experience various things. To put it bluntly, they are Lie 1 Yan Ji.

When you come to a theater to watch a love movie, what you want is coercion, kissing, taking off the mask, 19 bans...the kind that makes couples go to an express hotel the next second after watching it.

In this era, Asians with more traditional thinking really like literary films, and there will be many excellent directors of literary films, such as Director Jia and Wong Kar-wai, who are very impressed.

The two spoke in Chinese, and the crew would not understand it. After all, it hurt morale to say such things at the premiere.

And what Zhang Xiaolong said was a bit late. The movie was released directly after Valentine's Day, and there was no room for change at all.

Jiang Chao knew what he meant, which was to add those taboo contents, but if these were really added to this movie, it would not be so amazing.

But Zhang Xiaolong is still right, it is really not suitable for business.

Five movies were screened in theaters on Valentine's Day, and "Pounding Heart" ranked last at the box office.

Even if it's the movie theater where the creators go, there are only twos and threes wearing jerseys or four or five couples watching movies in the movie theater, and it's still too late for the movie theater to be full.

Hashimoto Kannai and Yang Chaoyue both cried, okay? They attributed this to their failure to choose a good schedule for Jiang Chao.

But in fact, what Jiang Chao saw was the power of capital.

Because the box office of the premiere was not good, it was only 100 million U.S. dollars. In addition, Chaoshen Entertainment had no new funds to inject into the mainstream theaters and asked them to help promote and increase the number of films.

Under the circumstances that the publicity and market feedback could not be matched, the major theaters took the "Pounding Heart" produced by Boss Jiang, a cute new screenwriter and producer, off the assembly line early.

This made Jiang Jiang and Daddario, the two executives of Super God Entertainment, furious, but they can only be incompetent and furious. They also have a reason. There are so many movies during Valentine's Day, who has time to wait for you to follow up Do your best...

The treatment of this new film and television company is like this. The start is not a big hit, and it is impossible to count on the capital to be optimistic about your follow-up. How many movies are waiting in line for the theater every day and every week.

So "Pounding Heart", which ended a week after its release, is like the ending in a movie, and I don't know what the future holds.

Both Jiang Chao and Chaoshen Entertainment overestimated their own influence, and movies still need to meet the market in the end.

In the end, the box office in the North American market was 790 million US dollars, but Jiang Chao spent more than 1000 million US dollars in investment.

No way, in order to keep improving, he has many equipment and teams that use the best.

And because he didn't raise any investment, it was all invested by him, the producer alone. If the team and Chaoshen Sports didn't have cash flow every day, it is very likely that this movie would not be released so soon.

Media ecstasy! !

Finally some spray!

After Jiang Chao succeeded in trading Dayao, they suppressed it for a long time. In addition, the Knicks' record has been very stable.

The film industry contributes!

"Time Movie Weekly":

The first test of the new Knicks boss, Rotten Tomatoes scored 72%, which is not bad, but the box office is sluggish.

Los Angeles Film Weekly:

Not everyone can make movies, the stupid investment of Jiang Chao's boss.

"Screenwriter News":

Boss Jiang's first screenwriting career has been hindered!

"Not everyone can make movies, Boss Jiang's stupid investment!" "

"Jiang Chao screenwriter + producer?It turns out that producers who can't pay attention just fail! "

"Jiang Chao doesn't understand the American film market, it is recommended to manage the team well"

"Movie cake, don't get involved! "

"The cake can't be eaten up, and it's impossible to pack it for a layman to take away"

Lily Collins was crying in Jiang Chao's arms when she heard the news. The only sold-out movie was the reserved tickets her father bought to support her...

She doesn't mind being sprayed or something, after all, she has already been mentally prepared for her first heroine movie.

What she minds is that there is no one who even scolds her, everything is like a gust of wind, it seems that there is no wave.

Jiang Chao indifferently comforted her not to be sad, his plan had just begun, and it would not stop there.

Scarlett, Daddario, Long Ma and others also came to comfort their Snow White after hearing about it. They also helped "Pounding Heartbeat". After seeing such results, they also had a deep impression on other works of the company. worries.

Jiang Chao, who has always been confident and never slaps his face, unexpectedly suffered a Waterloo-style blow in the film market. The box office didn't even return his money. In addition, the theaters were divided into half, and he lost almost 1000 million US dollars?

"So what if you lose money, if you lose money, you can just shoot again, there will always be success, we are not just making this one, and this one will be very popular in non-theatres.

Your sisters Hashimoto Kanna and Yang Chaoyue are also working hard, so rest assured, you are my people, the women I love deeply, and I will support your hobbies to the end. "

Jiang Chao held a few people to talk about love, and the few people who spoke were crying.

Seeing these top beauties being moved by him, Jiang Chao's mood was very calm.

because……

This box office is already five times higher than that of later generations, is it enough?

Even Zhang Xiaolong, a non-movie fan, has discovered the flaws of this movie in theaters, so it is normal that the box office cannot be a hit. Even talking about the plot is only a small circle of people. It was written around criticizing Jiang Chao for being slapped in the face for the first time, and it was absolutely perfect.

But in fact, as Jiang Chao said to them, for the sake of beauty, anyone can be a king of Zhou You, a beacon drama, and the princes, so what if I just pay them to make a movie for them?

This is their hobby. If they don't work hard when they are young, if they don't try to make movies that should be made at this age, they will regret it when they get old.

Jiang Chao prefers that the women around him grow up, rather than being like slaves of love by his side all the time, that kind of cosplay is only suitable for one or two times.

Successful people don't want the girls around them to be vases. Girls with status, status, self-cultivation and dreams are more likely to feel it.

Now Chaoshen Sports City is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so although the film industry burns money, it is completely affordable now.

Just look at the media’s criticism of him now. No one is saying that he is going to go bankrupt. Basically, he can finally criticize him for failing to invest. The bankruptcy remarks at the beginning of the season have long since disappeared. Look at the shoes that everyone is wearing on the street recently. You know, Chaoshen Sports is making crazy money.

Moreover, the income of the Madison Square Garden arena is also bursting, and the money spent by Chaoshen Entertainment Media is not as much as the daily income of the arena.

This time the snacks were just drizzle, and the media typically didn't see the kindness of the rich, but he was very big-hearted, and he was the one who suffered the most and comforted the bottom.

It's been a long time since the All-Stars got together~

And it’s impossible for him to quit film and television, okay? I didn’t see Lao Mouzi, Kai Ge, Xiao Gang and other famous directors all speaking in support of Jiang Chao’s film and television road. This road has a very good start. , Even Lao Mouzi directly said at the Golden Lion Awards ceremony that some movies are not suitable for broadcast in some markets, which is also a pun.

At this time, it is obvious that "Pounding Heart" is not suitable for the North American market.

But in fact, it is also said that "Thirteen Hairpins" may not be suitable for release in the neon market, but it will definitely be released in the neon market!

……

Coincidentally, the media material came again.

A week later, "Super Body" was released, which proved why a famous director is a famous director...

The premiere grossed 3000 million U.S. dollars, and the box office soared directly to 5 million U.S. dollars.

The actor Scarlett who is very close to Jiang Chao is so called to get soft hands. You must know that she is the leading heroine, and the cost of this movie is 4000 million US dollars!

The excited Scarlett directly thanked Jiang Chao for a long post.

The media directly counterattacked back.

What are you talking about Jiang Chao's vision is not good? ?

Just kidding, he was the one who introduced me to the "Super Body" audition! ! !

In 2005, Scarlett's first commercial film "Escape from Clone Island" ended in a fiasco at the box office;

Nine years later, Scarlett once again challenged herself to star in the heroine of a sci-fi film, which achieved great success and shame.

Jiang Chao recorded his first achievement!

Even Luc Besson didn't expect the box office to be so high. Too many people like Scarlett. You must know that this is an R-rated movie that restricts the audience. It is too high to get 5 million box office!

However, the media can still criticize Jiang Chao's screenwriting and production skills, so in the future, it's better to invest in other famous directors' movies.

Moreover, Scarlett has not yet joined Chaoshen Entertainment because of the contract period, and the money she earns has nothing to do with Jiang Chao, so this wave of counterattacks is not so powerful.

Until Luc Besson personally invited Jiang Chao to attend the celebration banquet.

The ultra-high rate of return has allowed the film crew to make a lot of money; the film has a Douban score of 7.3 and a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In Jiang Chao's view, this actually proves that hard work will surely succeed, because the idea of ​​the film "Super Body" has been brewing in Luc Besson's mind for ten years.

A total of more than 1000 special effects also lead to first-class viewing effects in theaters. The special effects lens tailored by Industrial Light and Magic perfectly fits imax3d, which deeply reflects the core idea of ​​the film, and integrates the director's imaginative imagination and inner thinking that he hopes to express. Philosophy and ethics are displayed through the lens, which is a visual feast for the audience.

This kind of commercial film is the most popular one in the North American market!

Beauty + super sci-fi setting + 3D + special effects, invincible.

In "Super Body", Scarlett is the absolute heroine, from a silly white sweet counterattack to a superwoman, with distinct acting skills, ever-changing looks, very eye-catching, a lot of action scenes, killing all directions, and charming Shooting, coupled with superpowers, makes people feel the release of the soul.

There are many such movies in Jiang Chao's mind.

So in Jiang Chao's view, these ridicules are all material waiting to be turned over by the advertising department in the future.

Made chicken.

When my "The Wandering Earth" comes out, who will try again without box office? ? ?
