Chapter XI Issuance Matters
(Please recommend collecting and maintaining!!! Brothers, please give me some strength!!!)
The source of this money is Italy. This is a problem that Ike can't figure out! But sometimes, the more you can't figure out the problem, the more you don't think about it. What happens after the washing of time will be revealed.
"Let's do it first." Ike said to Lehman, "Let's just leave it alone."
"Do you need to notify the police?" Lehman asked Eck with a frown.
Ike shook his head and thought to himself, you are sick. "No need for now. We haven't done anything illegal anyway. If someone really makes a mistake, they will naturally call the police."
Seeing the boss say this, Lehman had to nod. "By the way, the meeting in the conference room will be held in 10 minutes later." Eck ordered.
"Ok!"
The content of the meeting was of course to discuss the release of "Rose Boy's Dream". At the meeting, Ike and the heads of several departments formulated the specific release plan for the film in detail. For their current company level, of course, we cannot expect a theater company to come and copy and arrange the screening date. These have to be run by one by one. Those large theater companies will not watch such films, so Ike decided to start with a small company, even from a smallest cinema, as long as they can arrange screenings, or even a few trials.
However, in order to release Hollywood movies, there must be a special step, which is to send copies of the movie to mppa (American Film Association) for review, and then mppa determines the movie rating. mppa movies are divided into G (suitable for audiences of all ages), pg (preferably accompanied by a guardian, and any age group can enter), pg-13 (contains some swearing language and sexual and violence, children under 13 need a guardian to accompany them), r (contains more swearing language, sexual and violence, and guardians under 17 need to accompany them to watch) and x (a lot of swearing, sexual and violence, and those under 17 are not allowed to watch). When the movie rating comes out, you can go to theaters across the United States.
According to Ike's observation of the film, this video can basically be confirmed that MPAA will be assigned to R-level, because there are a lot of descriptions about sex and homosexuality in the film, which is not something that Ike and 3D companies can control. Every producer and publisher is willing to set their movies at G-level, which means that more viewers can see it. Unfortunately, this is not China, and MPAA is not a light/bear/total/country!
Ike decided to hand over this matter to Jeremy. Mpaa's headquarters is located in the Encino district of Los Angeles, California, so there is no traffic problem. Ike asked Jeremy to hurry up on this matter. As long as the grade is released, the company can go to the theater.
Speaking of American theaters, anyone with some knowledge of American films knows that in the famous "Paramount" case (anti-Thomas Act) in 1948, the court's verdict on this case ended the monopoly of large film companies for nearly half a century. It split theaters and film companies. This was a big blow to large companies like Paramount and MGM at that time, and even fatal. After that, independent film companies finally developed after decades of ups and downs. Now American theaters are basically controlled by General Art, Amc, Carmike, Marcus, etc. Among the more than 30,000 screens in the United States, these theaters control about 14,000 screens. What is more worth mentioning is that these screens account for 45% but gather 80% of box office revenue.
American theaters adhere to the business philosophy of "wide-sourcing and thin-farming", broad-sourcing: As the name suggests, the number of screens is huge, more than 30,000. If you look at the population of the United States, you will know how high this proportion is. The so-called "super-sourcing" refers to the relatively low fare. Generally speaking, adult tickets are within the range of US$9-12, student tickets are within the range of US$7-10, and elderly and children are within the range of US$6.5-9, and there is not much difference in regional areas. The above figure is from the 21st century, but now it is lower than this one, about US$4-6.
The 10-US dollar synthesizes RMB is only about 70 yuan, but you should know that the per capita GDP in the United States is more than 40,000 US dollars. What about China? Let’s take a look at the ticket price of Chinese movies!
Thinking of this, Ike couldn't help but shake his head. When he was in China, he wanted to go to the cinema to watch "Avatar", but he was scared away by the ticket price of nearly 100 yuan every time. Of course, China has a huge population and there are too many people who don't care about money.
.....................The wonderful thing continues.........
There are about 60 theaters in Los Angeles. Ike told everyone to call each theater. He was helpless in doing so. He was not strong enough. If he didn't enlarge the "net", it would be even more impossible. Frankly speaking, Ike didn't point to the big theater and watch this movie. Looking at the movie trailers that have been full of movies in the past few months, he knew clearly that he could only survive in the cracks.
After the meeting, Jeremy took the copy and ran to MPAA, and the rest of the job was to make a phone call. The employees began to get busy, and they picked up the phone books and dialed them one by one according to the above theater company numbers.
At this time, Ike received a call. "Hi, hello, Mr. Ike, Mr. Li. I am Richards Theron!"
"Oh, it's you, hello, I just finished the meeting and was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me first." Ike said to the phone.
"Your car?"
"I haven't gone to repair it yet," Ike touched his forehead, "Let's do it, can I call you after I arrive at the repair shop later?"
"Okay, ask the price, I will send someone to your company." Theron said.
"You are so polite." Ike's impression of this beautiful woman improved a lot at this time. He didn't expect Hollywood stars to be so careful. It seems that many media described Hollywood actors in the past were not very reliable. At least Theron's performance is not like this now.
"This is what I deserve, it's me to waste your precious time." Theron explained on the phone.
"Ok." Hearing Theron said this, Ike was no longer polite, "Then I'll call you later."
Speaking of Richards Theron, how could I not know that this Oscar winner in the film industry several years later was also one of the main actresses he has lived in bed. She is young and beautiful and beautiful. Even in Hollywood, where beautiful women gather, no one can cover her light.
This beauty born in South Africa is praised as the "South African Diamond" by her hometown. Her hot and sexy figure makes photographers imaginative.
Ike just stayed in the movie and Baidu Encyclopedia. This is the first time that a girl has a beautiful and modest and approachable personality, she can be called the best. This time she has contacted Theron, which gave Ike this feeling.
If all beauties are like Theron, then Ike probably will be willing to be "rear-finished" by men all over the world!
