"No need to squeeze in, our Baofeng Comics Company has just opened, and currently we only have the first comic of "Spider-Man"..."
"Yes, the first drawing is of Peter Wang being bitten by a spider, which was filmed in the movie. However, there are some differences between the comics and the movie. The world of "Spider-Man" in the comics is larger than that in the movie, and there are more characters...
…”
"Currently, we update a painting about once a week. We have made a very simple comic website..."
"In addition to superhero comics such as "Spider-Man" and "Wolverine", there are other comics on the comic website. We very welcome everyone to submit contributions. If the number of clicks and readings on the Internet is good, we will consider publishing it, or
The famous director and screenwriter of China Star adapted it into a movie and put it on the big screen..."
"Don't rush, everyone. We only have the first painting of "Spider-Man" at the moment. However, the comics and animation of "Slam Dunk" are already being produced simultaneously. The animated version will be exclusively premiered on the Soku Video website..."
"..."
With an old classmate like Zhou Yang, the general feeling is pain and happiness.
On the Monday after Zhou Yang's video speech, Zhang Xiaoya had just installed the "Baofeng Animation" sign when she saw a large group of people surrounding her.
Having experience as a journalist in the entertainment industry, Zhang Xiaoya was not very nervous when faced with the sudden arrival of netizens and fans. She calmly talked about the plans for "Baofeng Animation" in the crowd.
But answering the questions of the onlookers over and over still made Zhang Xiaoya feel very tired.
She was busy until noon, and when she finally waited for the crowd to disperse a little, she reluctantly sat on a chair and took a sip of water.
"I didn't expect so many people to come all at once, Mr. Zhang, your English is really good..." Next to her, Liu Qing, the head of the manuscripts of the comics department who had just come from China, wiped her sweat and sighed sincerely.
"It's not bad, otherwise, how could I come to the United States without a translator..." When she was studying, Zhang Xiaoya was very interested in foreign languages. Later, although she experienced some twists and turns in the circle, her spoken English was not good.
Luoluo, Zhang Xiaoya was naturally very proud of coming to Laomei this time.
"But Mr. Zhou is really awesome... By the way, Mr. Zhang, I just received a call from Mr. Xue from China. Mr. Xue said that the first five paintings of the "Slam Dunk" comic have been finished. After polishing them, I plan to
First, I updated the first painting on the official website of "Baofeng Animation" to test the water, but I still feel unsure..."
"It's okay. Mr. Zhou told me a few days ago that don't think about making money in the first year, but first build up your reputation..."
"Um……"
Zhang Xiaoya then chatted with Liu Qing about the general content of the first drawing of "Spider-Man", and after personally interviewing several students who had just come from China and dreamed of becoming "cartoonists", they returned to their independent work.
District, and started to open the official website of "Baofeng Animation" and start reading.
In fact, the official website of "Baofeng Animation" already had a plan when "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" was released, but at that time, except for "That Rabbit", there were no other projects that could be achieved. Is it possible to replace the previous ones?
Take out the "Fist of Heroes" that hit the street and continue?
Isn't this nonsense?
Later, after "Spider-Man" became completely popular in China, Zhou Yang put the plan on the agenda and personally talked with Xue Ning, Zhang Xiaoya and others about many familiar comic projects.
At first, the two of them didn't care, but when some comic plans, such as "Naruto", such as "One Piece", such as "Dragon Ball", such as "Slam Dunk" and other stories were told, the two of them felt that their heads were buzzing.
ring.
I don’t say whether these comics will be popular or not, and what the story will be like in the future, but the dazzling comic plots shocked Zhang Xiaoya, and she wanted to open Zhou Yang’s head several times to see what was hidden inside...
"Perhaps, before long, the entire era will dance because of him."
After looking at the simple pages and seemingly insignificant comic projects on the official website of "Baofeng Animation", Zhang Xiaoya suddenly let out a heartfelt sigh.
…………………………
[Oh my God, this person is so bold and directly challenges the DV company!]
[Is he crazy? This is really a lunatic. "Spider-Man" is just one show, and "Spider-Man" has not made much box office in the United States, so he dares to talk about superheroes directly to the DV company? 】
[The quality of a movie cannot be judged by its box office!]
[But the box office determines the essence of a movie, doesn’t it?]
[Then "The Tiger" is now outperformed by "Spider-Man" at the box office in China? What do you say? 】
[Damn it, everyone knows that this guy Zhou Yang is the most powerful figure in China... How can "King Kong Tiger" compare to it! 】
[What about the box office in North America other than the United States? Have you seen today’s box office? The box office of "Spider-Man" in North America has exceeded 10 million. Although there is still less than 10 million in the United States, because the four major theaters have not given
The reason for how many films "Spider-Man" is scheduled for? If "Spider-Man" is a movie owned by DV Company, how can "King Kong Tiger" compare?]
[Yes, there are only a few theaters in Los Angeles that have "Spider-Man" lined up, and there are not even a few movies lined up. They have been showing for more than ten days, and they are still full every day! I can't get a seat at all! I keep hearing people say "Spider-Man"
"Spider-Man" is so promising, but I have never seen it. I strongly urge theaters to schedule more movies!]
【……】
July 5th.
The box office of "Spider-Man" is getting higher and higher, and its influence has also begun to explode.
On major social networking sites in the United States, some people from DV companies and Hollywood wanted to suppress it, but found that it was completely impossible to suppress it.
Many netizens began to discuss on their social media how difficult it is to buy tickets for "Spider-Man" and how much they want to see it...
Fans who watched "Spider-Man" unanimously praised it with rave reviews, and even gave it a rating that was lower than that of "King Kong".
Under this increasingly lively general trend, some media and capital that were originally completely closed to "Spider-Man" began to gradually loosen up.
Even on the evening of July 5th, everyone discovered that the American Movie Network, which had blocked "Spider-Man", began to re-list the "Spider-Man" project and re-rated it.
The extremely angry DV executives immediately greeted the executives of American Movie Network, but they heard that the executives of American Movie Network were very helpless and even speechless.
"Have you heard of the movie website "Movie Home"?"
"In just ten days, the number of daily visits to Movie Home has gone from a few thousand to tens of thousands. These tens of thousands of active visits are all from the American Movie Network!"
"Privately, our own movie network has begun to receive complaints from users about unfairness, shady practices, and back-room operations..."
"Brother, it would be fine if "Spider-Man" could really be suppressed, but after you suppressed it for a long time, "Spider-Man" became popular in North America..."
"A few days ago, the leaders of AMD talked with me... They saw the potential of "Spider-Man" and are considering buying the screening rights of "Spider-Man"..."
"They are still complaining, saying that "Spider-Man" is obviously a profitable movie, but you have made them make a lot less money. Their theaters in North America except the United States have made a lot of money!"
"And superhero movies are not exclusive to you. If you can make them, others can make them too!"
"..."
Capital is very real.
For the sake of profit, they can briefly unite and block the so-called friendship they once had.
However, when they realize that the so-called blocking will not bring them much benefit, but will cause them to lose profits, they will shamelessly tear apart the so-called disguise.
Tony Orman, the director of "King Kong Tiger" heard this conversation, and when he learned that AMD Theaters was preparing to contact Zhou Yang to obtain the movie screening rights of "Spider-Man", his face wrinkled.
, he realized that after the fall of North America, the seal on the American base camp area was about to be lifted!
An extremely tragic strangulation will begin from now on...
And he had to face the most cruel and powerless moment in his career!
He immediately found the senior management of the DV company and the person in charge of the marketing department, and began to anxiously discuss countermeasures.
When the meeting was halfway through, not only did they fail to discuss a suitable countermeasure, but they heard another news.
In the next July, they will not only face the siege of "Spider-Man", but also a movie called "Wizard Kline" will be released.
This is a blockbuster movie that Warner Bros. has invested nearly 300 million US dollars in. Warner Bros. is preparing to spend huge sums of money to promote this movie...
……………………
The movie "Spider-Man" laid a very solid foundation for Zhou Yang's future direction.
It also allowed Huaxing to be relieved of its previous difficulties once again.
Delaware.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, hello, I am Karin from AMD Cinemas. We have been in contact before. I am very sorry for the broken appointment before. This time, I come here with full sincerity..."
Zhou Yang made a cup of tea and looked at the tall and beautiful Western woman in front of him.
Zhou Yang took a look and compared it a little, and found that his figure was similar to An Xiao's, but not as beautiful as An Xiao's.
but……
But there is an invisible mature charm, especially when you smile, there is a sense of fox charm, which makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.
Her name is Karin, and she is the product manager of AMD Cinema.
On the eve of the release of "Spider-Man", she personally contacted her and said that she wanted to buy the screening rights of "Spider-Man".
At that time, the chat was relatively pleasant in all aspects. Just when the electronic contract was about to be signed, she suddenly announced that she would not purchase it for the time being.
At that time, Zhou Yang was shocked, but then he expressed understanding.
Hollywood really needs to shut itself down completely.
"Hello, Miss Karin, is the contract the same as before?"
"Yes!"
"I'm afraid it can't be done now!"
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
"Split! The original split for "Spider-Man" was six to four, six for you and four for us, but now, this price is no longer affordable!"
"What!"
Zhou Yang looked at Karin and was not fooled by Karin's smile. Instead, he slowly brewed a cup of tea and smiled: "Today is different from the past. You have a cup of tea first, and we will talk slowly... Oh
, Sorry, let me answer the phone first... Regal Cinemas seems to have called me too..."
