Chapter 804: Flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall(2/2)
There is nothing wrong with doing this. Strengthening one's own muscles and bones is always correct and should be done.
However, while focusing on yourself, if you have spare energy, it is also a useful attempt to explore foreign markets.
At least someone needs to give it a try.
Why are our works met with cold reception abroad?
Of course, there are foreign markets that don’t value our movies at all, but we ourselves don’t want to spend time, energy and costs on operating them, which is an unavoidable problem.
You have to know that even for country A's own blockbusters, if you want to get a better opening rate, you have to go to each theater manager to negotiate.
Only after you have negotiated and reached an agreement can you get a good opening rate. In the meantime, of course, you have to use some banknote abilities.
It costs money, and it’s not a small amount. If you want to increase the opening rate, you not only need to build strong personal relationships, but you also have to work hard on marketing and seizing the market.
These are closely related to operating expenses.
It can be said that it’s not that we don’t want to pay attention to overseas markets, but that we don’t have the energy to pay attention to them at this time.
When we have enough energy, many of us automatically stop paying attention. After all, the opening rate is already low, and good box office numbers won’t fall from the sky, right?
You can't be too demanding on many things. If you can't catch it, just leave it there. It's just a fraction of the box office anyway.
We no longer care, we have progressed to this stage.
But in reality, competing for foreign markets is never just about making money. Although making money is the main purpose, only by going abroad can one's own influence be enhanced.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Influence has always been very important, even more important than making money itself.
Otherwise, why would every country welcome a Hollywood movie as soon as it comes out, as if it were a god coming down to earth?
They provide all kinds of discounts and all kinds to the market. It is true that their film production level is still the highest at present, but the reason why so many markets flock to them is because everyone has formed a kind of admiration for them.
I just feel that other people’s products are better than my own, so I don’t care whether they are really strong or fake, just import them.
This is the powerful influence at work. If our movies can have such influence, why do we need to work so hard to negotiate the opening rate?
We can even stop attaching so much importance to the so-called powerful country A market and be so obsessed with it. He is not the only place in the world with a huge number of movie theaters.
As long as we have the courage to explore, there are still many opportunities.
Among them, the film festival should actually play a very good role, but we have never focused on this project before.
Our filmmakers should not just walk away after winning an award, but what they should do more is actively integrate into their circles.
This kind of integration does not mean that we should give up ourselves and completely become like the other person, but that we should work hard to learn other people's routines in order to promote ourselves.
Our award-winning films, although many times these award-winning films are not very popular in our own homes.
