In mid-March, the films came out in full bloom.
The United States has left it to Brett and Andre to handle the distribution and theater screening.
Hollywood is different from China. Compared with production, distribution is the most important existence. What are the "Eight Majors" and "Six Majors" firmly grasp this point.
Moreover, their distribution system is built around the world. While harvesting box office, it also spreads American culture and values.
More than 70% or even 80% of the world's box office are harvested by Hollywood every year, so you can know how horrible Hollywood's movie output is.
Like South Korea and Japan, the film industry has risen and can only save half of the country. Being able to save half of the box office in China has been regarded as an achievement.
"Wolf Warrior 2" had this mission at the beginning. If it hadn't been a hit in the second half of the year, the share of domestic films in 2017 would have been less than 50%.
That's right, we're blessed with the "rise" of the domestic film market, soaring tens of billions of shares, but half of them are taken away by Hollywood every year.
Of course, because China Film and China Film and China Film firmly controls the distribution channels, Hollywood can eventually share the box office after tax of 25%.
Even European countries only have to be harvested, and cultural powers such as Britain, France and Germany are no exception. No one can escape Hollywood's sickle.
On the contrary, the most difficult thing to be scheduled in the global film market is probably the loyal lackey of the US imperialists.
They boycott all foreign movies, and 90% of the film market share is self-produced and sold, and they like to watch movies made by their own people the most.
As powerful as Hollywood, it can't get into it.
Poseidon, controlled by the Bret family, and Fax, controlled by the Andre family, are all one of the eight major film companies.
This is also the reason why Li Zixuan is willing to spend money on them. People have such resources and are worth this price.
Even if you are not in the film industry, you can still mobilize some resources.
Of course, side branches like Andre cannot be mobilized if they exceed a certain limit unless they have a stake.
It is obviously not enough to publish a movie with part of the strength of the two of them, and you must also use the movie to lobby other publishers.
The first thing Li Zixuan thought of was three other companies that he had record collaboration with.
They are all giants, otherwise they would not be able to leverage the world dance king Eddie Jenner to change jobs, and they are not qualified to participate.
They have more or less some film industries. Not to mention whether they are strong or not, it is necessary to occupy a piece of land in this field.
However, Li Zixuan contacted them, but one of them was not even interested in watching the movie.
It’s not that I am still in charge of Eddie Jenner’s album in China, it’s that I’m busy with everything.
Of course, people who are whimsical like Li Zixuan will not play with them.
It’s a joke to make a movie in the country and fantasize about entering Hollywood!
"Forget it, they are short-sighted, so don't count on them."
Andre said.
The five major companies that are digging into Atlantic Records have never been a monolithic part.
The only young family behind him and Brett's background is the exception.
It's just not doing your job properly and you can't play together.
This time I was having a movie with Li Zixuan, and they were often irresponsible behind their backs.
"We go to find other publishers. It's not easy to find someone to make a fortune together on our territory?"
Andre was not the one who could stand the anger. He didn't care much about it, but he was extremely attentive.
This time, we must let them see if they are not doing their jobs or are they short-sighted?
"You can use the films to find someone to cooperate with the distribution and theaters. I can't help much, so I'll go back to take charge of the country."
Li Zixuan said.
He has no intention of getting to know these professionals for the time being and expanding his connections.
They ignored them, let alone other people, and they wouldn't even look at him.
Now we can only rely on Brett and Andre to make it happen.
As long as you achieve success in the future, a large number of people will naturally come to you with money waving.
"Don't worry, let us leave it here. Believe it or not, I'll help you find 10% of the screening?"
The high consistency between the script and the film made Brett confident.
Moreover, they still have hope in the market in China.
Only when they are in China can they realize how explosive Li Zixuan’s popularity is and how many people are crazy about him!
With the proof of the previous movie, I believe many people are willing to pay a movie ticket for him.
Of course, Li Zixuan didn't believe Bret's expansion.
No matter how good the quality is, it is just a small-cost niche movie after all. If the cinema has a trick, it will give them a lot of filming.
In the later stage, it is possible to make a comeback by reputation and box office, and it is possible to improve the screening.
"Sister Lan, are you going back to China with me or what?"
Hugging Zheng Lan, Li Zixuan asked her for her opinion.
"Forget it, go back by yourself. I'll help you watch here and see if you can do something."
Zheng Lan said.
Since it has begun, she is much more serious than Li Zixuan.
Besides, even if this time is not successful, it can pave the way for the future.
She can also increase her knowledge and qualifications, which is never a bad thing.
In China, as long as Li Zixuan doesn’t make trouble, I believe he can handle it himself.
When she came to the United States, she had to sigh at the market gap between the two sides.
The protection and respect of cultural products in the United States is almost all-round. Without purchasing, you will not have any channels to see movies, magazines, books, and music.
Even if the content of newspapers and magazines online can only be seen in outlines, and you must subscribe to it to see the full text.
This is even more so for music. There is no place for you to download illegally, you can only buy it.
Even many TV programs have to be paid, and the TV will not be replayed. When you watch them, you will watch them, and if you can’t see them, you will disappear.
Unless you have a recording equipment at home, you can set which TV program to record and you can only watch it when you go back.
Of course, compared with this, the prices of these cultural products are affordable.
The same ordinary class, the income of the United States is 3,000 to 4,000 US dollars, and the domestic income is 3,000 to 4,000 RMB.
In the United States, if you watch a movie for about ten dollars, you will only buy a music album for more than ten dollars.
However, in China, it costs 40 or 50 yuan to watch a movie, and it costs 40 or 50 yuan to buy a music album.
Once you calculate the proportion of income, you will know why you can’t afford it.
What's more, there is still a long way to catch up between the development level and personal wealth of the two countries.
It is precisely such a sound system that allows cultural products to be charged at all, and the people can afford it and consume easily.
At the same time, all the habit of paying also allows them to maintain respect for cultural products and enthusiasm for creation.
Relatively speaking, there is still a long way to go to respect copyright in China. If you want to return to a healthy state of development, it is not just a light saying.
There is no pain, and it is impossible to change.
ps: Who can watch more entertainment? Know how much money can a producer get in Hollywood DVD sales? It’s a headache to check information.
