Ren Hong complained to Thomas. Although he was not a filmmaker, he knew the current film market very well. "Mr. Thomas, you also said that it was before the birth of the 'virtual world'. Now offline cinemas IMA, giant screen, 3D and other screening halls are closing down every day, and only the PV screening hall is still struggling to support it. It is estimated that only the PV screening hall will become the last position of offline cinemas, and that is also a stagnant."

"But..." Thomas said.

Ren Hong ignored him and continued: "Offline cinemas have been transferred to online, with the online personal digital screening room of the 'virtual world' as the mainstream. The changes in the screening mode have also allowed you producers to get a higher share. As far as I know, the current online theater screening company with the 'virtual world' as the mainstream is only 24% of the revenue share, while you Global, as the producer and distributor, account for 76% of the box office share. That is to say, even if the investment of US$700 million, the total box office of only US$1 billion can recover the cost."

The huge changes in the film industry have to mention the "virtual world".

Since the birth of the "virtual world", the impact and changes on the film industry have been almost subversive. Offline cinemas are gradually disappearing. Cinema companies know that this is an unstoppable trend, but they also reacted quickly. Major cinema companies have established new online cinema companies in the "virtual world", while maintaining connections and synchronization with the declining offline. The development of the times has made online personalized private customized screening rooms in the "virtual world" become popular on a large scale and gradually replaced offline cinemas.

Since the birth of the "virtual world", the number of screening rooms around the world has stopped growing and has begun to show a downward trend. Today, the private customized screening rooms on the "virtual world" have exceeded offline cinemas, reaching a 57% market share, and the further popularization of sensory helmets is rising steadily.

It is almost certain that offline theaters are destined to launch a historical stage, and the PV screening hall is also a flash in the pan. Ren Hong obviously expected this, so Gao Yue was rejected when he proposed to set up a branch. For theater companies, the unfortunate luck is that the investment cost of the PV screening hall has been recovered over the years, but it is almost equivalent to working in vain. In fact, it is still a loss. After recovering the cost, he was suddenly listed as an elimination when he was about to start making money. Now I don’t know how many theater companies are cursing Matrix Technology (Ren Hong) behind the scenes.

After a huge change in the film industry, the "virtual world" online privately customized screening rooms are increasingly becoming the main source of income for movie box office. Online theater companies do not need to invest a lot of hardware costs, but only need to invest in website operation and maintenance. Low investment has also led to a reduction in box office share, and negotiations with producers and distributors have also fallen into a passive position.

However, there is another big change, there is no saying that movies must be removed after being released for a period of time. In other words, as long as the consumer purchases the movie tickets, the content can be viewed after being pushed to the consumer's private screening hall. Even the film industry released a few years ago has no problems.

In other words, a movie will always be released after it is finished. There is no saying that offline theaters are out. Moreover, consumers only have one day's time limit for movie tickets to be purchased. If you want to re-watch them after 24 hours, you have to buy them again. The money-losing behavior of theater companies and publishers has also been protested by movie audiences. In the end, as long as new regulations are issued, you can buy them forever after purchasing more than five movie tickets for everything.

The private custom screening room on the "virtual world" has no characteristics of being off-the-shelf. Almost always has sales capabilities, which is an unparalleled advantage.

As the creator of the "virtual world", every virtual network company operates and does business on this platform and has to draw some of the benefits from it. Online theater companies are naturally no exception. Matrix Technology is also making money from movies without engaging in the film industry. Although Internet companies in the "virtual world" say that Matrix Technology is a vampire and borer who is unanimously praised by all companies and has received rave reviews, that is, the protection of anti-pirated power and intellectual property rights.

There is almost no piracy on the "virtual world" network. Matrix Technology's crackdown on organizations or individuals engaged in related copyright profits without legal authorization is not only serious, but the inspection efficiency is also incredible. Although I don't know how Matrix Technology does it, it is an indisputable fact that it safeguards the vital interests of the copyright owner.

In terms of anti-piracy, the gap between the "virtual world" and the traditional Internet is simply one by one.

Thomas thought for a moment and asked back, "Mr. Ren, how do you think the distribution is reasonable?"

Ren Hong said concisely: "At the request you made, add another 25% of the box office share."

"Add another 25% box office share????" Thomas cursed in his heart when he heard this, thinking why don't you grab it, but on the surface, he said: "Mr. Ren, you bought the full IP copyright of the dinosaur. The only profit point of this project Universal Pictures is only the box office share, no peripheral income. This 25% box office share is almost the only profit point of Universal. If you take it away, then Universal will be in vain!"

Thomas did not forget to emphasize again: "And you will also have to take a part of the revenue of the online theater company in the 'virtual world'."

Thomas expresses you word by word, it’s too dark.

Ren Hong said: "We all know that the "Dinosaur" series will be sold well with the "Star Wars" or "Transformers" series. The "Transformers" series has a worse reputation than the other, but each one sells well. The plot of "Star Wars" is actually very average, but it has sold more than $2 billion in the world. The sentiment is always so popular these days, right?"

Ren Hong said confidently: "Especially with the subtle connection between the real dinosaur park and the storyline and reality, this series of topics, coupled with the emotional effect, and the current movie screening mode in the "virtual world" does not have a lower level, you can make money forever after the finished product is shot. Let's not talk about this. With the previous foundation alone, the global box office of "Jurassic World 7" reached 1.5 billion US dollars, which is a conservative estimate."

"Mr. Thomas." Ren Hong turned to smile and looked at the other party: "I am definitely not as good as you professionals in making movies, but I think I am still qualified in doing business operations or market analysis. I can't do movies but I can still do business."

"You have to figure out Mr. Thomas. We all know that this is a big profit project. Although Universal has the advantage of experience, to be honest, as a popcorn-style commercial blockbuster, Warner, Walt Disney, and Sony Pictures can easily handle it." Ren Hong said slowly at the end. With full copyright IP in hand, Matrix Technology has absolute initiative.

Sure enough, Thomas was immediately uneasy when he heard the other party say this.

"Mr. Ren, you are right, but even the other five major film companies will not agree to your allocation. Even if you agree, it doesn't make much sense. As the most profitable company in the world, it doesn't matter if your company is actually a few percentage points away, but we small companies are not good." Thomas suddenly bombarded with a bitter trick. Although Universal Pictures is not as good as Matrix Technology, it is definitely not a small company.

In the end, the two sides had a long dispute. Thomas tried his best to finally get 4% from Ren Hong's mouth, and finally officially reached a cooperation intention. Universal Pictures won the production and distribution license of the new trilogy of Dinosaur IP from Matrix Technology with a guaranteed amount of US$900 million in three films and a 21% box office share.

Ren Hong didn't have to pay anything, first earned $900 million, and finally got a 21% box office share for each movie.

Thomas got the authorization for the trilogy as he wished and stood up and said goodbye. Ding Yang had already started to organize relevant personnel to deal with the subsequent contract.

Kang Tao watched the whole audience during this oral negotiation. The two foreigners had just left, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I understand why those people have given you the title of "vampire". Tsk tsk, just talk about it, and you get 900 million US dollars, and you still have 21% share, and you don't have to do anything. This is called true. Getting something for nothing. Staying with you for too long makes me think why is the money in this world so easy to make? The amount of millions of US dollars a second flows into the cyst every day. Now, a few words are 900 million US dollars..."

Speaking of this, Kang Tao no longer knows what he said.

"It's just that the harvest season has just arrived." Ren Hong smiled and said: "Before the dinosaurs were resurrected, I spent more than 8 billion US dollars to make arrangements in advance. Just buying the full copyright of the dinosaur IP from Global has gone more than half. Now it's only 900 million yuan, and it's still long. However, the benefits of the surrounding industrial chain are the big ones, haha."

Kang Tao smiled silently and shook his head, looking into the Nanwang Reservoir from a distance, sighing in his heart that it was a mixed-system. If he was a businessman and stayed with such a freak, he would probably have no confidence at all. This is the most wealth-making person in the world. Today, he is considered an eye-opener.
