Post-shadow Development Plan

In the hotel next to the premiere theater, Jiufeng held a reception dinner nearby, in order to entertain all the guests attending the premiere.

Movie fans are not so lucky, they can only go home for dinner by themselves.

But to see such a high-quality movie, all of them felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"Brother-in-law, congratulations on your "Xiaoyuan" being a success again."

Walking into the hotel, Lily said to Qiye: "I paid attention to the reaction of the fans when the show was over just now, and they were very enthusiastic, even a little crazy."

"As expected of a brother-in-law's movie, it can instantly kill everyone."

Qiye shrugged: "In the final analysis, the essence of commercial movies is visual effects. As long as the scenes are hot and exciting, audiences in any country will welcome them."

The North American film market is very mature, but don't overestimate the aesthetic vision of North American film audiences.

In some respects, the aesthetic level of audiences all over the world is actually similar.

Although the taste is different, some core selling points will not change.

Otherwise, there won't be many bad movies that sell well in North America, even movies like "Star Wars 7" that broke the box office record in North America by relying on feelings.

Although the movie "Madoka" is a bit unconventional in terms of plot, there are many elements that all successful commercial movies should have.

Lily asked in a low voice: "How much do you think the box office here can be, can it exceed [-] million US dollars?"

Qiye flicked Lily on the forehead and said, "I think you're thinking of farting! The market here has just started and is still in the development stage."

Although the box office of "Avatar" in the previous life did exceed 1 million US dollars, it was contributed by many factors.

My own movie can definitely break the record, but it's hard to say whether it can reach the performance of "Avatar".

After all, Chinese audiences prefer happy endings.

Lily was somewhat disappointed: "It's true, even if it's 13.00 million dollars, you won't get much from your brother-in-law. [-]% of the box office share is really too little!"

"What does this have to do with you~"

Seeing Lily waving her hands, Nanaya's head was full of black lines.

Lily pouted and said, "I feel sorry for you, brother-in-law. After spending so much energy, I only got so little money."

"It's okay." Qiye was relatively open-minded, "I did this for the future."

Cultivating fans is a rather long process. Those enduring series of IPs are never achieved overnight, but are passed down from generation to generation.

This isn't just talking about Disney's Mickey Mouse, Marvel's superheroes.

Even the oldest and most valuable IP in China—the Four Great Masterpieces.

This kind of inheritance has never been achieved by one or two brilliant movies.

As long as the fans that Jiufeng cultivated in the Celestial Dynasty can be passed on from generation to generation, it will prove that Jiufeng's thinking on IP development is correct.

Besides, a new round of negotiations between the two governments is about to begin.

If I remember correctly, China will not only increase the number of imported movies, but also become more relaxed in terms of share.

Seizing the market ahead of time is not harmful to Jiufeng at all.

Instead of disliking China for its low box office share, it would be more cost-effective to find a way to squeeze Jiufeng into the MPAA.

After all, as a representative of the North American film industry, the MPAA can make policy recommendations to Washington.

But Qiye didn't intend to tell this kind of adult matter to his cheap sister-in-law.

He pulled Lily up the elevator.

Compared with the previous dinner at the Imperial Hotel, this celebration banquet is similar to the buffet-style dinner in Europe and America.

Because there were a lot of people who came to congratulate her, Qiye could only throw Lili aside and socialize first.

However, he still told Lily not to pick up other people's things casually, or agree to other people's requests.

If someone deliberately took advantage of Lily's lack of English, it would be troublesome to get her to agree to some weird film appointments.

Qiye didn't worry that Lily would be tricked into acting in some small movie. No one in the entertainment industry in Tianchao had the guts to do so.

He was afraid that Lily would be tricked into playing a role in a Chinese movie with a very low salary.

This is likely to reduce Lily's compulsion.

It will even affect Lily's salary negotiations in Hollywood movies.

You must know that Lili is now excluding the films of Jiufeng series, and she is starring in films of other companies, and her salary starts at tens of millions of dollars.

For example, when Lily starred in "Inception" in Warner's movie this time, Lily's salary was 900 million US dollars.

This is also because this role has fewer roles than ordinary movie heroines.

If it's a movie like "Avatar" with a lot of heroines, Lily's price will definitely start at 1200 million US dollars.

There may even be a later share involved.

Because of Jiufeng's long-term contract, Lily's direct salary will not be too much.

But this does not mean that Jiufeng treated Lily badly.

Ziyuan has always been very generous to those who can create profits for the company.
