Chapter 1094： Wanying in action

Just as Firefly responded with a secret response to the change of director and satirized that "Little Red Riding Hood" couldn't find the exact location, in the far east, Comrade Wang Jianlin was in the midst of toiling in the real estate business for the first time, and asked about the theater chain.

"So, "Super Body" is very popular with audiences?"

"Yes, 110 million yuan was recorded at the box office in the first week, and the amount opened is very good for an investment project of this level."

"The films that Firefly was introduced to seem to always sell well?"

The general manager of Wan D Cinemas thought for a while, nodded and said, "Their box office sales are very stable and efficient, and they have basically never failed in the mainland movie market."

Hearing a more positive answer, Wang Jianlin pondered for a while.

This impression, especially for an overseas studio, is very exaggerated. It is normal for imported films to produce benefits, because China Film itself strictly selects works that have proven itself in the market, but this does not mean that after the introduction. It must meet the tastes of mainland audiences, and it is not very common for the output to be very efficient, especially when it involves additional factors such as restrictions on international distribution and cultural and geographical thresholds.

And such an uncommon thing happens to fireflies and becomes common, inevitably it will make people think a lot.

After a long time, Comrade Wang Jianlin talked about another matter, "The acquisition of AMC is on the right track, and the cooperation between Wanying and Firefly should also have a specific charter. By the way, the application for import license qualifications is still unclear. ?" - Wan D's acquisition of AMC, in addition to becoming an international theater chain dealer and gaining more share, is also a side effort to let the top release the opening that only China Film and Huaxia Studios have access to import indicators (I hit both Going to Hollywood, I can’t always show American movies, but there is no introduction decision in the mainland.)

"...This is a big issue, and I'm still researching."

"Continue to make efforts. In addition, the co-production and entry into the downstream of the industry should also be accelerated."

The theater manager nodded, expressing his understanding.

After all, what the original Paramount Act stipulated is how they worked hard in that direction.

Is capital, monopolistic, customizing industry rules, is the most profitable.

What's more, it is also a big benefit to use the siphon effect of the film and television industry to drive the added value of real estate layout upgrades. By acquiring the image resources of the film, it can deepen the barriers to competition.

From this aspect, AMC's asset evaluation, acquisition negotiation, seeking policy support, and incubating content through co-investment with Firefly and complementary resources, so as to enhance WanD's own content production capabilities, are two parallel cores, and one is indispensable.

Of course, in this process, the content is not easy to obtain through capital operation, and it is impossible for them to wear a pair of pants with Firefly.

Everyone who is a theater chain understands that they need good film sources to attract audiences. Don’t studios need good schedules and screen resources? Especially in Europe and the United States and other places, the existence of anti-monopoly laws, and the force of the theater chain that Paramount was forcibly separated from, all warned the remaining studios and drew the attention of latecomers.

Since we can't produce and sell ourselves, we can only compete to improve our core competitiveness. In general, Fireflies also have urgent needs, which are in line with Wan D's interests.

"You go there and keep an eye on the financing by the way."

"I ordered some work, and I can leave tomorrow."

Wang Jianlin nodded and waved him out.

......

"Lyman's personal phone call couldn't get through. If the company contacted him, his assistant said that he was on the plane to Washington to visit the filming of the class, and he was not sure when he would return."

The next day, Los Angeles.

In the Wanying US office in a high-end commercial building, a former executive of the Universal Distribution Department, a local white man, put down his mobile phone helplessly, "Unfortunately, he is not at the Firefly headquarters, so I can't make an appointment with him."

The general manager of Wan D Cinemas who rushed to the United States heard the words and had to say: "There's no way, Louis, we can only go to Washington tomorrow."

"Uh... I can understand, this is an important matter."

The manager smiled bitterly, "After we meet, we still don't know if the other party is good at speaking, so we must pay more attention."

"rest assured."

"By the way, how is the "Super Body" here?"

"It has already exceeded 100 million, but the speed of box office acquisition has slowed down a lot."

"Have you seen "Super Body"?"

The manager asked casually, wanting to know what the publishers thought about the film.

"Look, the narrative rhythm is very tight, and it feels okay."

"Almost, Johansson-Scarlett's portrayal is very suitable for her current route."

"I have the survey report of "Super Body" here, do you want to see it?" Lewis reminded, "The audience for this film is quite divided, and the fact that they have such good results is also related to their low investment. I think, In this project, Firefly has always demonstrated its sensitivity to pre-market assessments."

"Really, show it to me."

"Uh, please wait a moment."

After a while, the manager also understood what he meant by being sensitive to the market after opening it.

"17 years old, male, grade A+."

"16 years old, male, grade A."

"20 years old, male, grade B+."

"32 years old, male, grade B."

Only from the age distribution of the previous questionnaires, it can be seen that the more mature, the more rational evaluation, rather than emotional.

And in the back, a more comprehensive audience distribution of movie watching——

"20 years old, female, rated C, what kind of stuff was filmed, the camera deliberately used soft **** as a selling point, and kept giving close-up shots, disgusting."

"36-year-old, male, rated B, more than 80 minutes passed, but I didn't have a deep impression after watching it... I can only say that it is suitable to pass the time, not boring, but nothing worth repeating. The need for shadows."

"27 years old, male, rated B+, I watched it with my friends, I feel okay, and the soundtrack is also comfortable. If the film has less violent scenes and more superpowers, it will be more interesting."

"17 years old, female, rated D, one bad movie. My boyfriend said nice things about Scarlett all the time, it's inexplicable."

And **** fans——

"19 years old, male, grade A, God, I want a girlfriend as good-looking as Scarlett."

"17 years old, male, rated A+, when will the high-definition disc be released, I can watch that bathrobe clip for a lifetime."

"18 years old, female, rated A, the heroine is very cool and independent, and I want to be like her."

After a rough look, he found that if there are couples in the audience, there are many negative reviews. If it is an individual watching the movie, the older age is relatively objective. Even so, the average score of "Super Body" is also around B, which is medium It’s not bad for a purely commercial film invested in. After watching it, most people think that the ticket price is still worth it, but if the investment increases, the performance of the masses will not be much better, because the proportion of repeated viewing is very general, not a big deal. A phenomenal movie to watch and watch.

The manager glanced at the words "Super Body" on the cover of the questionnaire, but in his heart he thought: "It's time to meet Lehmann. Talented and rational filmmakers are really rare, and they are not at all flirtatious and conceited."

************

the next day.

"Did the filming of "Captain America 2" go smoothly?"

On the set, Lehmann asked while watching the busy crew.

One of the production team that Kevin pulled up replied: "The shooting progress is completed every day, and the people in Colombia are also very cooperative."

Since the preparation for the start-up at the end of February, a behind-the-scenes team of hundreds of people who have been temporarily mobilized and gradually run-in has been divided into several groups to shoot different scenes and scenes. At the same time, the special effects work in the digital field has also been subcontracted to studios at home and abroad. , work almost simultaneously—

There are people, money, and clear goals. There are also two senior producers watching over the overall management. When the filming work gradually becomes tacit, even if everyone belongs to different places, the filming will be completed in nearly half a month. The indoor scene of S.H.I.E.L.D. came to the big scene of the American team and the Winter Soldier falling in love and killing each other.

In addition to shooting on location, there are always people who deliberately barge in to interfere, and the producers feel that everything is under their control.

After all, the Washington government also supports the filming of the crew. Without affecting the municipal and coordination time, the shooting part of the Lincoln Memorial will probably be finished in two days, and it will be transferred to Cleveland, the United Kingdom and other places~www.novelhall. com~ It can be said that this key plan that Lehman cares about, after Kevin carefully combed through the power system, there is the Russell brothers working **** the set every day. Even if the workload is not small, it is always stable. implement.

In addition, the preliminary idea of ​​the screening schedule of "Captain America 2" will be two months after "Thor 2". From the perspective of the schedule, it is not too rushed.

According to the production team's estimation based on the current situation, be optimistic. If there are no surprises, the shooting stage will probably be completed in early May. In the later stage, editing, soundtrack, subtitles, opening and ending can all be replaced by people who work overtime all night. Work, basically when the rendering is completed, it will be a film.

No matter what, you won't miss the summer vacation.

"We have already sent someone to build a temporary studio in Cleveland, and we can start it right away when we go there." The producer in charge of location communication assuredly assured: "It will only take a month to get there, wait. After filming, the entire movie spent money and time to get all the materials, and the rest are just some very simple shots.”

Laiman nodded with satisfaction, and said with concern, "Thank you for your hard work."

Just as he was about to greet the actor, a staff member suddenly came over and said, "Boss, there are two people claiming to be Wanying looking for you outside the blockade."

"Oh, it's coming so soon. You'll take it to the shade over there later."
