Chapter 406 Box Office Battle (Part 2)
The spread of "Harry Potter" in that era was not like this, and it was about to break out. Both novels and movies went through a period of running-in. At one point, some literary critics even believed that Chinese readers were naturally separated from the "logical view of the magic world". It was not until this series of novels and their derivative works gradually spread in China that their influence surged in geometric form, like huge waves in the deep sea, one wave after another, sweeping the domestic readers' world.
JK Rowling has been ranked first in the list of rich foreign writers several times, and the movie of the same name has also achieved top box office results.
This fact shows that Harry Potter has a huge market in China, and the results were naturally amazing when it was launched by Liu Jingting.
Sunday's box office boom confirmed this situation indirectly, especially as more and more viewers exclaimed that "this is a movie suitable for all young people and everyone with the hearts of young people" and more viewers began to enter the theater.
On the 8th, due to the decline in box office during working days, the box office was 76 million on the same day, and the total box office exceeded 400 million, setting a record high for domestic movies! At this time, "Ha" broke the record of "The War of Outer Time and Space".
Neither Bluetus nor the "Age of Planet" film crews made any response to this, they are waiting for the arrival of the 9th.
In the early morning of the 9th, "Age of Planets" was released on its entire list, and it immediately seized 35% of the domestic screening. Compared with "Harry Potter", the situation in North America and other parts of the world was similar. However, as far as China is concerned, the trend of two films running side by side has been formed, and more than half of the screening situations no longer exist.
...
"Everyone raises a glass together and I will be honored by Mr. Liu."
At the Xingyue TV celebration banquet, Chairman Gong Yuanhe personally took the lead and raised his glass to greet Liu Jingting. Other senior executives picked up their glasses and sincerely paid homage to Liu Jingting.
There is a "fact" between "question" and "salute".
Mr. Liu has a far-sighted vision and decisively and wisely decided to buy out the mainland distribution rights of "Harry Potter". Now he has recovered the cost with just one movie. Judging from the popularity of the movie, this investment is likely to become the most successful investment in Xingyue's history.
The greatest profit means the greatest risk and the most intense competition.
Gong Yuanhe and Liu Jingting naturally knew this, and other senior officials also had some premonitions.
When the domestic box office of "Harry Potter" exceeded 500 million, three domestic film and television companies sent representatives to Xingyue to discuss cooperation. Even Gong Chengpin's sophistication and calmness were a little too late to deal with it, so he had to stabilize the representatives of the three parties first, and then report the situation to Gong Yuanhe.
"No one can cooperate." Gong Yuanhe said in a complicated tone.
Gong Chengpin understands the meaning of this sentence. The three film and television companies are the top representatives in the industry. Two of them have had good cooperative relationships with Xingyue. Although the other has cooperated with Haiyang, because of their strength and background, it is obviously not convenient to directly reject.
"Combining with any one will offend the other two, so either one does not cooperate or cooperates together." Gong Chengpin expressed his views.
"Not that," Gong Yuanhe said slowly: "Big brother hasn't come yet, and no one can cooperate."
Gong Chengpin immediately realized and remembered a conversation between Liu Jingting and his grandfather.
"Then how should we go back now? When will someone come over there?"
"Big brother is waiting for us, not us are waiting for them. In this way, you can communicate with Xiao Liu first, and then talk to them about the film adaptation of works such as "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As for "Harry Potter", I said I was already talking to Huaying."
"good."
After Gong Chengpin talked with his grandfather, he immediately called Liu Jingting, but unexpectedly it was Xu Qing who answered the phone.
"Mr. Gong, Liu Jingting is talking to Mr. Huayingwei."
Gong Chengpin was stunned and asked, "Has he come here by himself?"
"No, that's right. Liu Jingting recently got a piece of topaz, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. After inquiring, he heard that Wei Gang was a master of topaz, so he specially asked him to come over and identify."
"When did Mr. Liu like Topaz?"
"He saw him traveling around the world once before in Brazil, and he has been thinking about it. Later, he finally bought one. Moreover, Mr. Gong doesn't think it's the most suitable thing to like now?"
Gong Chengpin was also a rare worry, so he didn't react just now. After hearing Xu Qing's reminder, he immediately understood that Huang Yu and other things were naturally excuses. Liu Jingting wanted to take the initiative.
I am going to be compared this time.
This thought flashed by, but strangely, Gong Chengpin didn't feel any frustrated.
...
"The state of Minas Gerais in Brazil is the most important place of gem-grade topaz. I am 80% sure this stone comes from that place. Willow always spends a lot of money, right?"
Although he knew that Liu Jingting was not drunk, Wei Gang still did a good job of acting and pretended to be devoted to talking about jade.
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "It's okay if I sold my face."
Wei Gang made a sudden appearance and said, "Haha, that's right, Liu Jingting's face is no weaker than this stone."
Then Liu Jingting still asked questions about Shitou, not mentioning the movie. At the end of the conversation, Wei Gang once had the illusion that "he wouldn't really come to me to see Shitou."
"By the way, I would like to congratulate Mr. Liu on his "Harry Potter" for achieving such a great achievement."
In this tug-of-war, Wei Gang finally chose to compromise temporarily and bring the topic to the "main topic" he thought. However, according to the plan, they always took the initiative in this matter, and it would not hurt Da Ya to test Liu Jingting's true intentions.
"It's not bad. I'll discuss the movie with Mr. Wei next time I have time."
Wei Gang suddenly became a little surprised. What does this mean? Isn’t it really here to talk about the movie today? It’s a tactic of trying to get it?
In any case, before receiving the clear instructions above, Wei Gang could not act rashly now, forcibly endure the next question and prepare to get up and say goodbye. Liu Jingting politely kept him for dinner, but looking at it, he was really just a polite and did not attempt to leave the matter at the dinner table.
Wei Gang left Yingri Building with a little complicated mood, feeling absurdly that he had finally officially experienced the "famous" of this young president.
After seeing Wei Gang away, Liu Jingting called Gong Chengpin, talked about his judgment on the form, and then confessed his mentality of meeting Wei Gang today: "Please follow your wishes. I know that cooperation is inevitable, but as the saying goes, "I am familiar with each other, and there are many inconveniences when I am unfamiliar. I will talk about many things next time, and I will speak directly."
I originally thought that Liu Jingting was a little impatient when he missed this opportunity. After hearing his analysis, he realized that he was good at it. He thought about it and realized that this person was so cunning that it was beyond the reach of his peers.
In the operation of the Harry Potter movie, Liu Jingting showed almost the same level as his grandfather, and his shortcomings became more and more obvious.
It was also a good thing. Gong Chengpin pondered for a while and then suddenly became enlightened.
On the other hand, Gong Yuanhe has already had a conversation with Huaying Chairman Huang Jiufeng. However, after learning that Liu Wei and the two sides have made no achievements in their meeting, the conversation was short and they stopped. One was difficult to speak, and the other didn't know how to speak.
The two of them stood facing each other, but there was a layer of curtains woven by cicada wings hanging in the middle. This situation was subtle and indescribable.
Sometimes talking about cooperation is like falling in love.
...
The global box office battle between "Age of Planet" and "Harry Potter" has entered a state of intense heat. The latter's advantage of being released first has always been ahead of the former. For the film crew of "Age of Planet" and Bluetus himself, this step is really heartbreaking.
The opponent's resilience and momentum have exceeded expectations. In the initial vision, once they enter the film field, Bluetus can simply crush Liu Jingting, but the fact is that after Liu Jingting steadily suppressed Bluetus in the sales of novels, the film also has an insurmountable leading advantage.
This is a double kill!
What is even more desperate is that the second part of "Harry Potter" has also been sold around the world. The mutual promotion between novels and movies is like nine golden dragons pulling a cloud chariot called "Harry Potter" and flying in the clouds like wind and rain!
From this point of view, not only will the first round of competition lose, but the entire series of bets will be lost.
Chapter completed!
