Chapter 31 Unscientific IP

Under the escort of the black taxi driver Old Jack, Cao Yu arrived at the Los Angeles Airport safely, and then had several phone calls with Charles, the leader of the global expansion and promotion team of "Death is Coming".

We met each other at the Los Angeles Airport in Noda.

"Hello, I am Charles Victoria, a staff member of Sony Colombia's publicity department. I am responsible for the global expansion and promotion of "Death Comes" this time."

A tall man with thick golden hair and a face that was unique to Westerners. After seeing Cao Yu, he politely extended his hand and prepared to shake Cao Yu's hand.

When he saw someone extending his hand while speaking to him, Cao Yu almost subconsciously stretched out his hand. After holding the palm of the other person's hand, Cao Yu realized what he was doing. He laughed awkwardly twice, and then

Open your mouth and say.

"In the past few months, I have shaken hands so much when meeting and greeting people that I have become subconscious. Hello, I am Cao Yu, a lucky actor who has become popular just half a year after his official debut."

Charles smiled when he heard Cao Yu's slightly self-deprecating introduction.

After the two introduced each other briefly, Charles took Cao Yu to get to know other members of the global expansion and promotion team of "Death is Coming".

In fact, Charles didn't have many people under his command, just a makeup artist, a miscellaneous manager and a driver.

Within a few minutes, Cao Yu got to know a few people briefly.

However, despite the name of the global expansion and promotion team of "The God of Death", the entire team only had a few people. Cao Yu was a little puzzled, so he asked.

"How can we promote it with just these few people?"

Upon hearing Cao Yu's question, Charles smiled confidently and then explained.

“With just a few of us, we naturally cannot carry out global-level expansion and promotion of [Death is Coming].

The global expansion and promotion of "Death Is Coming" mainly relies on the channel managers in each region of Sony Colombia, who will formulate promotion plans that suit local conditions.

Then these publicity plans will be sent to me first. I will sort out these plans and arrange them in order, and then I will notify you so that you can attend the corresponding programs."

"Then aren't you the equivalent of a celebrity assistant team?" After hearing what Charles said, Cao Yu thought for a moment and said.

"You are right to say that." Charles responded with a smile.

"In this case, then I will follow your arrangements?" Cao Yu shrugged and said jokingly.

"It's not about obeying, cooperating, and cooperating with each other." When Charles heard what Cao Yu said, he quickly waved his hand and said modestly.

Seeing Charles's reaction, Cao Yu stopped joking, and turned to the first question that he was now very concerned about: "Where are we going next?"

"RB" Charles replied directly.

"Huh! RB?" Cao Yu was surprised. The answer from Charles surprised Cao Yu, "I thought I was going to England first."

"Originally I planned to go to the UK first, but except for some accidents." Charles explained.

"Accident?" Cao Yu was curious about what other accidents could happen during movie promotion.

"[Lord of the Rings 1] is released. The UK is the homeland of the original author John Ronald Reel Tolkien. This time, [Lord of the Rings 1] is released simultaneously in the UK and North America, so..."

"Stop talking, I understand."

Cao Yu didn't let Charles continue talking, because when Charles said that the name of the movie to be released was "Lord of the Rings 1", Cao Yu knew the reason why "Death is Coming" was not expanded in the UK.

why?

Afraid!

Cao Yu is sure that if [Death is Coming] dares to go to the UK for promotion and expansion at this time, he will be pushed to the ground and blasted by [Lord of the Rings 1].

It’s not safe to say that if [The Lord of the Rings] is badly beaten by [The Lord of the Rings] in the UK, Sony Columbia may stop expanding the movie’s plans.

This is really not an exaggeration. In the Western film and television industry, the IP "Lord of the Rings" is simply a strange existence, an IP that can compete with it.

Very few.

Let’s put it this way, have you ever seen a series of movies that were not shot one by one, but all three in one go?

No!

Except for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, there is no more!

When other people make a series of movies, they are very cautious, as soon as something goes wrong in any of the movies.

Sorry, your performance ends here. Goodbye.

The trilogy of the "Lord of the Rings" series was filmed in one go.

Film and television companies that can do this, except film and television companies, are full of confidence in the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, and are confident that the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies will never make a loss.

There can be no other reason.

Of course.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy also lived up to others' expectations. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy grossed more than 2.991 billion at the global box office, almost exceeding 3 billion.

This box office result is almost equivalent to the box office of each part of the trilogy reaching one billion US dollars. You say it is scary or not.

This isn't the end yet.

Yes, three films were made in one go, and the trilogy grossed nearly three billion dollars.

This! Not yet! Forget it! It’s over!

Not yet! This is the limit of this IP.

After filming the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, director Peter Jackson found it unsatisfactory, so Ta Miao actually prepared to release a prequel trilogy.

Yes, you heard it right.

He has finished filming the trilogy "Lord of the Rings" and is actually planning to make a prequel trilogy "The Hobbit".

What's crazy is that director Peter Jackson didn't find it satisfying, and neither did the audience.

After the release of the new prequel trilogy [The Hobbit], the box office remains strong, once again taking in a global box office of US$2.92 billion.

This Ta Meow makes people speechless.

Cao Yu remembered that the last IP that could be played like this was a series of movies that had the nickname of European and American spiritual opium, which laymen called "Star Wars".

A complete series of movies plus peripherals has effectively supported a market worth 20 billion US dollars.

Cao Yu sometimes wonders if Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", could learn from the water injection ability of the director of the "Harry Potter" series.

The two trilogies "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" are made into two tetralogies, and the number of movies in the series is the same as the "Harry Potter" series.
