You don't know whether you will win or lose until the last moment.
The release journey of "Spider-Man" is a temporary win for Zhou Yang, but it is only a temporary win, nothing more.
【Never miss the golden period of making money, after all, opportunities always fleeting. 】
When Zhou Yang saw this sentence two years ago, he didn't have much impression. But later, when Zhou Yang reviewed the rise and fall of many celebrities and brands in the world, he had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
At the same time, I also felt a great sense of crisis in my heart.
So after "Spider-Man" achieved good results in its premiere, Zhou Yang did not immerse himself in the joy of counterattack. Instead, he began to outline a series of plans for the future in his mind.
financial crisis……
Except for those with great foresight who realize that this disaster is also an opportunity, everyone is panic-stricken and feels that this is a disaster.
And Zhou Yang...
You are more far-sighted than those people.
After all, he has experience in the original world!
…………………………
"Our peripherals are mainly aimed at children, and we try to keep them as simple as possible. Figures, school bags, children's satchels, including audio and video, models in front of shopping mall counters... These can be expanded, and they will be released simultaneously with the movie, as well as comics.
…”
"Mr. Zhou, the DV Company and Comics Company here in the United States have almost all the peripheral products covered, and under the pressure from Hollywood, is it possible that "Spider-Man" will be suppressed before it really starts to become popular?
"
"There is still a possibility, but we have to wait until "Spider-Man" is really worthy of being suppressed. "Spider-Man" currently has a box office of just over 2 million in its premiere. Although it is somewhat popular, it is still not enough for other Hollywood blockbusters.
watch……"
"However, "Spider-Man" is an absolute hit in China. Its premiere was two million higher than the movie "Time Travel". It is almost the peak of China's box office. With such a size, it is impossible for Hollywood not to know about it.
, and more importantly, I heard that on the Comic-Con side, a superhero movie called "Golden Wolf Tiger" seems to be ready to go. This movie was originally postponed due to the financial crisis, but "Spider-Man"
The current results are very likely to make them realize that the financial crisis will not actually affect the film industry too much..."
"..."
"The appearance of "King Kong Tiger" competes with "Spider-Man" for the market. I am afraid that "Spider-Man" cannot beat "King Kong Tiger"..."
"..."
New Castle County.
A small house next to Xingyang Overseas Cinema.
When Xu Yangqing next to Meng Xu saw Zhou Yang, he was not as excited and admirable as the others.
She calmly talked about various concerns about "Spider-Man" and the future situation.
For her who has always been very conservative, "Spider-Man" has become a huge hit in China, and the situation is very good in some areas of the United States. Although she is excited, she is always wary under the good situation.
In fact, she has been full of anxiety and pessimism about this overseas trip of Tiancheng Toys.
Just when Xu Yangqing got off the plane, she accidentally saw the latest news about "King Kong Tiger".
"King Kong Tiger" was originally delayed, but it was suddenly announced that it would be officially released at the end of this month...
There was no sign of this announcement, but after careful analysis, it seems logical. It is obvious that the team of "King Kong Tiger" has actually seen the current situation of the premiere of "Spider-Man", and is keenly aware of the opportunities from the current situation of the premiere!
Perhaps, the impact of the financial tsunami on the film and television industry will not be as great as imagined!
Xu Yangqing doesn't think that their peripherals can capture the market from established companies like Comics and DV, and he doesn't think that "Spider-Man" will still be so popular after "King of Kong" is released.
The failure of "Lizard Man" was just an accident...
Hollywood superhero movies cannot have so many surprises.
Moreover, their industrial system is very complete and they can produce superhero movies similar to "Spider-Man" in a shorter time than "Spider-Man". Sooner or later, the popularity of "Spider-Man" will be replaced by other superhero movies.
And Zhou Yang is really too small...
"Again, they have a lot of trial and error costs, but we don't have any trial and error costs at all. "Spider-Man" has already emptied your wallet. According to the current situation, the movie "Spider-Man" is
The money can be recovered, but if "King Kong Tiger" is released in Laos, the United States and China at the same time, how much impact will our market suffer?"
"Our main battlefield has actually always been in China. What I have always wanted to do is to consolidate China's peripheral market in China first, and use the short-term influence of "Spider-Man" to suppress the influence of peripherals such as DV and Comics.
, and then prepare to fight against "King Kong Tiger"..."
After Zhou Yang heard Xu Yangqing's analysis, he nodded and fell into deep thought.
When Xu Yangqing saw Zhou Yang's silence, he stopped saying anything at the right time.
She vaguely felt like a storm was coming.
After a brief silence, Zhou Yang laughed again and continued to chat with Meng Xu and Xu Yangqing about the peripheral plans of "Spider-Man".
No matter what the future holds...
Many things can only be known by doing them.
"Mr. Zhou, besides "Spider-Man", do you have any other superhero movie projects? "Spider-Man" alone cannot support a peripheral company..."
"have!"
"Mr. Zhou, can you tell me about other superhero plans?"
"Sorry, I can't talk about that right now."
"oh."
Xu Yangqing originally wanted to ask Zhou Yang about his other superhero plans to see if they were feasible and to deduce the future.
But after seeing Zhou Yang smiling and shaking his head, although she had doubts in her heart, she stopped asking any more questions.
Seeing that Meng Xu immediately agreed to cooperate and spent a large amount of money to enter the American market, Xu Yangqing's lips twitched, but he finally stopped trying to persuade him to say anything.
A few minutes later...
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
Xu Mei stood up and walked outside to open the door. Then, she was a little shocked when she saw the person coming.
"Mr. Howard!"
……………………
There is a Hollywood in Los Angeles.
Hollywood generates a large amount of tax revenue for Los Angeles every year. In addition to taxes, there are also more invisible incomes...
You're lying when you say this kind of thing isn't attractive.
Leaders in many states in the United States have tried to build a second Hollywood, but it is a pity that because of the siphon principle and the concept of "Hollywood is the movie capital of the world", many stars who have made their mark in other places have tried their best to
Run to Hollywood.
In their hearts, it is a paradise where people are lavished with money and glamour, and everyone is watching them.
Many people have criticized Hollywood's monopoly...
But it’s no use…
Capital in Hollywood is complex, and America is a world of capital. Even the president serves capital behind his back.
No one will foolishly stand on the other side of capital until you are unable to create corresponding value.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, long time no see!"
"Hello, Mr. Howard!"
In the house, the light is bright.
When Zhou Yang saw Howard, he couldn't help but feel unexpected and surprised in his heart.
In fact, he once thought that after "Spider-Man" made some achievements, he wanted to go to Howard again and talk about the Delaware Film and Television Base.
He is confident that "Spider-Man" can bring attractive benefits to Delaware.
But no one expected that he would meet Howard the day after the premiere, and that Governor Howard would come to meet him in person.
Meng Xu and Xu Yangqing saw that the situation in the house was a bit delicate, so they wisely left first.
Xu Mei then followed behind...
"Sister Xu Mei, is Mr. Zhou really planning to build a Delaware film and television base? Are the rumors true?"
"I used to think this was a gimmick, but now the more I think about it, the more I realize it's true..."
"This is so crazy. Mr. Zhou wants to compete with Hollywood? His steps are really too big... He doesn't have the cost of a second trial and error!"
"I thought so at the beginning, but after "Spider-Man" was released, I might feel that everything could really work... I even had a ridiculous and real premonition."
"What premonition?"
"Every movie that Mr. Zhou will shoot next will be a hit!" Xu Mei looked at the lively and almost crowded overseas Xingyang Cinema in the distance with a complicated expression on her face: "
He doesn’t need the cost of trial and error at all…”
"..."
Xu Yangqing felt frightened.
People who have received higher education since childhood have naturally seen the proud man of heaven, but they have never seen such a magical person.
In fact, after reviewing Zhou Yang's resume again, it seems to have become a matter of course.
It's as if the world is a game and they are players of this game, but Zhou Yang directly opened the invincible plug-in and is the best in the world.
Not long after they walked out, they saw Howard walking out of the house and getting into the car with the team's staff.
Then Zhou Yang walked out with a smile on his face. After looking at the car for a while, he looked back at Xu Mei and others outside the house.
"Mr. Zhou, have you finished chatting so quickly?"
"Well, Sister Xu Mei, please clean up my temporary conference room a little. In the evening, theaters from Delaware will come over, and they will talk to us about the authorized screening of "Spider-Man"..."
"ah?"
"Also, please contact some businesses in China. Mr. Howard has given us the priority to lease this street. In addition, he talked to me about some film and television bases. He promised to give us the next three movies.
All movies are tax-free. I plan to regard Newcastle County as the base camp of our strategy, and the movie "Spider-Man" as a pioneer..." Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes after saying this, and then thought about it for a while:
"Sister Xu Mei, Howard also made a proposal..."
"What proposal?"
"He wants to create a Howard International Film Festival..."
