Chapter 4254

Box office! It's the lifeblood of a film company. If the box office is not high, then the film company will not be able to recover the huge investment costs and make money to maintain the operation of the film company.

What I didn't expect is that the box office revenue of Lin Feng's "Legend of swordsman 3: Miao crisis" will be so high! $1.32 billion! This is a surprising number that no one thought of. Although it did not break the total revenue of "Lord of the rings" in the North American market as high as 1.4 billion US dollars, this is only the box office of "Legend of the swordsman 3: Miao crisis". According to a single film, it has surpassed the box office of any film of "Lord of the rings" in the North American market.

Half a month, the total box office of the world is as high as 2.515 billion US dollars! This is absolutely an unprecedented achievement. No one has ever thought that a typical Chinese film can get such a high box office. In particular, it is unexpected that the Chinese market is so hot that it can contribute more than one billion US dollars to the box office. No one thought of that.

The prospect of Chinese market is so vast! This is amazing! Although "Shentu" contributed most of the box office revenue, it can not deny the potential of the Chinese market. When the five film giants were disheartened by the box office of "Legend of the swordsman 3: Miao crisis", they also saw the considerable growth of China's box office market.

In the future, the film market will not only have the North American market, but also the Chinese market. A market that can almost compete with the North American market! And the five film giants immediately launched their four hasty films into the Chinese market. After all, in this confrontation with Lin Feng, they almost lost completely.

At the call of a group of Michaels, fans flocked to the forest studio, but their cinema line was empty. Although there is no lack of "I am legend" such a top blockbuster. However, in the face of a group of Michael's call, fans are very buy. As a result, "I am legend", "Beowulf", "American Gangster", "biochemical crisis 3: extinction" four blockbusters, on average, each box office will not be less than $200 million or $300 million. As a result, now the total number of four blockbusters is just over $100 million. Such dismal box office revenue is totally unacceptable to them.

Obviously, they chose a very wrong time to show their films. There was no overwhelming publicity, no Premiere of big stars, almost nothing, just their paranoia. Naturally, the box office is extremely miserable. Therefore, they are aiming at China, a "gold market" suddenly discovered. Of course, the Chinese market, Hollywood has been waiting. Waiting for the blowout of Chinese market.

After all, China is the world's most populous country, and its GDP is increasing year by year. Now it is the world's third largest economy, second only to the United States and Japan. In the foreseeable near future, it will surpass Japan and become the world's second largest economy. Such a market is bound to become the largest in the world in the future. Therefore, Hollywood has been negotiating with China and gradually selling more films to China. I just didn't expect that the Chinese market would suddenly blow out.

A billion dollars at the box office is just a single movie. It's scary. Basically, no amount of capital investment can recover the cost in China. Under this stimulation, the five major Hollywood film giants immediately pushed the film to the Chinese market. I hope their films, even if they are not popular in the United States, may be popular in China. Even if you can't make a big profit, you can at least recover the cost to make up for this decision-making error.

However, surprisingly, these four films are in great trouble. First of all, they failed to pass the qualification examination. Of course, it's not that they didn't pass, but the waiting time for the audit is a little long. According to convention, it will take at least one month to audit. For the five Hollywood film giants, one month is too long.

After such a long time, the day lily is cold. Although they have a grudge with Lin Feng, it must be admitted that Lin Feng's Fairy swordsman 3: the Miao crisis has completely activated the Chinese market, and they naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money. And if consumers' mood is over and normal, I'm afraid they won't make so much money. So, even if there is resentment, who doesn't want to make more money now.

But if the audit is not passed, even if it is passed, it will take so long. What should we do? This time, many giant companies are in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. What can I do? We can only find a way to find the person in charge of the relevant department. Anyway, they don't understand Chinese characteristics. Then treat the guests to dinner and give them gifts! Anyway, as long as you can earn it back, it doesn't matter to give more. However, to the surprise of the five major film companies, the leaders of the relevant departments refused. Don't even give gifts, just treat people to dinner.

If you want to visit, you can do it in the office. He will receive you politely. But if you want to visit at home, I'm sorry. I'm not welcome. All of a sudden, the five film giants are in a mess. They did not expect that this is what the situation! This, this, what's going on! When, so clean, law-abiding.

This is unreasonable! It shouldn't be like this! Finally, after all the trouble, the five film giants got a piece of news, that is, the reason why the leaders of relevant departments did not accept their banquets and gifts was because they were afraid of Lin Feng. Now it is clear that Lin Feng is fighting against them. How can they, the leaders of the relevant departments, go against Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng is not a cadre, a party member, or even a deputy to the National People's Congress. But no one can ignore Lin Feng's influence in China. Although he is not in officialdom, he can influence many things in officialdom.

Therefore, for the sake of their own gossamer hat, for their buttocks to sit in the best position they can sit, the leaders of these departments do not want to do anything beyond it. It's all business. Moreover, it has to be a business with Chinese characteristics - procrastination.

Is this going to give up the Chinese market? The big five are very reluctant.

"In my opinion, we'd better try to get in touch with Lin Feng." Elizabeth Murdoch, President of fox film, said, "as long as we can get Lin Feng to help us, I believe our film should be approved soon!"

Looking for Lin Feng? Li Jianxi and others face a smoke. This, how can you! Go to find Lin Feng. They'd rather not show the movie.

"Don't forget, folks. Our four films are big productions of the year. If we don't find Lin Feng, the box office can't be recovered. Without the box office, we can't go to the board of directors. Of course, to be honest, I don't care. I am the chairman of the company Elizabeth Murdoch said lightly.

In the 20th century, fox belongs to Murdoch. Later, after Murdoch's divorce, under Lin Feng's "mediation", he handed over all his property to his ex wife, Anne Murdoch, and went on vacation alone. Deng Wendi, his former wife, did not get any shares or positions except a New York mansion, a Beijing courtyard and some cash. As Murdoch's only daughter, Elizabeth Murdoch inherited fox in the 20th century. She is the chairman and CEO. And Murdoch's shares, in the 20th Century Fox occupies an absolute stake.

So no matter what happens to the company in the end, Elizabeth doesn't need to explain to anyone. unwanted! But the other CEOs are different. Among them, especially Lee Kin hee, President of Samsung Columbia. Although the Samsung consortium also holds an absolute stake in the company, Lee Kin hee is also the eldest daughter of the family, but in South Korea, women and men are totally different. There is no comparability in status. Lee Kin hee, as the president of Samsung Columbia, can be said to have opened up a precedent for South Korean companies. If its financial statements are not good-looking, it will be a blow to Li Jianxi.

Therefore, Li Jianxi recovered immediately after his initial unhappiness.

"Yes, our grudge against Lin Feng is between us, but it has nothing to do with business!" Li Jianxi said firmly, "business is business, gratitude and resentment are gratitude and resentment, we must separate them!"

"But will Lin Feng be willing to help?" Paramount President John lehr frowned.

Lin Feng is a man who will pay for his crimes. He will stab those who have offended him as long as he has the chance. In this case, they go to Lin Feng for help, which is equivalent to extending their face to Lin Feng. Well, Lin Feng is not happy!

"Business is business. As long as you can make money, I believe Lin Feng will not refuse. What's more, when we go to him like this, it also means that we bow our heads. He'll take it as soon as he sees it. What's more, we don't want to oppose Lin Feng completely, right! After all, Lin Feng still controls half of the movie screens in the United States through Ellison. " Elizabeth Murdoch said in a deep voice, "keep fighting. I'm afraid it's difficult for US presidents to explain to the board of directors without talking about what Lin Feng will do in the end. You don't want to sacrifice us to help the latecomers. "

The faces of many CEOs sank. Indeed, they want to continue to fight with Lin Feng, the result is hard to say. They have a chance to win, and so does Lin Feng. But the initial confusion will make their financial statements look bad, and those shareholders will not be satisfied. Their professional managers are bound to be scapegoats.

Therefore, they must first ensure the box office, and then talk about the grudge with Lin Feng. What's more, it's just business between them and Lin Feng, there's no personal grudge! Let's talk to Lin Feng!
