Chapter 435: The Bitter Special Effects Blockbuster (4)
"Avatar" has been released in the European Union, Southeast Asia and other regions during the Spring Festival, and the box office is also quite gratifying.
Movies such as "Men in Black" and "Total Recall" have also been released on global screens. However, at this time, the movie market seems to have been drained by "Avatar". The box office of these special effects blockbusters is extremely poor, so bad that these movies
The producer had a dark face all day long, as if someone had slapped him in the face.
As for the reason, you can know it by reading the comments on the Internet.
"This movie, the special effects are too bad! It doesn't look good at all! But the plot is pretty good."
"Compared with "Avatar", it's nothing. It's better to watch a comedy movie."
"'The Hangover 3' is good. Although it's not as good as the first one, it's much better than 'Men in Black' or something like that."
Movies such as comedies that are very different from special effects blockbusters such as "Madagascar", "Despicable Me", "Monsters University", and "The Hangover 3" have done very well at the box office, uncharacteristically higher than "Men in Black" and "Total Recall"
Two movies is a lot.
When "The Dark Knight Rises", which was about to be released, saw this situation, it suddenly did not dare to be released, and was delayed again until March, causing many fans to curse.
"Avatar" still does a lot of harm to people.
At this time, the DVD Collector's Edition of Avatar has finally begun to be officially released worldwide.
"It not only contains the 170-minute "Avatar" feature film, but also includes the 240-minute first edited version, and also comes with 30 minutes of "Avatar" shooting behind-the-scenes. It is out of print. The price is only 120 yuan! Only 120 yuan!
! Clearance price for jumping off the building~~~Don’t miss it if you pass by~~There is no such store after passing this village~~~~”
(It’s so expensive!! Do you think I will sell it?!! Huh!!...Okay, you win~~~)
The 170-minute DVD may not attract much attention. After all, computers are popular, network optical fiber speeds are comparable to airplanes, and TVs with network cables/USB sockets are also common, so DVDs are only worth collecting. But the 240-minute edited first version is
It has made countless fans crazy about it. After watching "Avatar", I always feel a little unfinished. And some plots are not explained clearly, such as how the protagonist lost his legs, how his brother died... There are many plots that they
They want to know, and they also want to see more about Pandora, and the first version, which is 70 minutes longer than the released version, must have what they want in it.
In addition to those "Avatar" fans, filmmakers are also very interested in this DVD. If you carefully analyze the 30-minute shooting footage, you may be able to learn a lot of shooting techniques from it, which is undoubtedly very useful for filmmakers.
attractive.
Ever since, the DVD of "Avatar" has become as popular as when it was released in theaters!!
On the day of the release, major sales outlets around the world welcomed a large wave of Avatar fans. Many of them came from thousands of miles away. As soon as the store opened, fans rushed in and said hurriedly to the boss.
:"I want I want!!!"
Those simple words and the expression of dissatisfaction almost scared the boss to the point of pissing.
This grand sale event caused many foreign media to report sourly: "This time, the Chinese profiteer has no idea how many billions of dollars he can make."

Time flies by and the Spring Festival holiday is over soon.
On this day, as soon as Wang Shang appeared in the Tianwang Building, the security guards and front desk staff gathered around him and cordially congratulated Wang Shang on becoming a father. How could Wang Shang resist this kind of attack? So Wang Shang laughed and forgot about it and took out the money directly.
The prepared red envelopes were distributed, and then more and more employees gathered after hearing the news...
Wang Shang got on the elevator in embarrassment and fled, but he was very happy in his heart. At this time, the unborn son or daughter had filled his entire heart. Every time he heard a word of congratulations, the happiness in his heart rippled.
The next day, Wang Shang listened to the work report of the company's senior management and the branch general manager, and then discussed it for two days, and finally put in place the company's new structure.
In addition to the headquarters of Tianwang Film and Television Group, which is mainly engaged in film and TV series business, there are five branches below, namely: agency company, Oriental TV station, theater company, special effects company, and technology company.
The Internet and physical media are all managed by radio and television companies; technology companies manage various patented technology reserves, as well as technology research and development. 3D, IMAX, and other special effects technologies are all managed by technology companies.
As for the comic company, after careful consideration, it finally became a large department of Tianwang Film and Television.
The equity incentives originally promised by Wang Shang have finally been realized. Basically, every senior management and branch general manager will receive 0.5%-2% equity incentives, while Bi Han, as the company's veteran and president, received 4%.
Shares, but these shares cannot be traded, can only be distributed as dividends, and will be recovered when you leave the company.
Although the equity is not large, it is worth hundreds of millions, and they can receive tens of millions in dividends every year, which is enough to make these leaders laugh. With such good company benefits, how can we not work hard? To run the company better
good??
On February 25, 2013, Tianwang Film and Television officially held a press conference. No invitation was needed. On the day of the conference, more than 200 media reporters came, making the entire conference hall crowded.
Before reporters asked questions, Wang Shang gave a brief introduction to the company's reorganization, focusing on the TV station.
The first reporter who was selected calmly asked Wang Shang: "Excuse me, Mr. Wang, why did you acquire the TV station? Was it because of the public opinion crisis the year before last that prompted you to do this? The TV broadcasting business seems to be related to the film business.
It’s not very strong.”
"The reason why we acquired it was not because of the public opinion crisis the year before last." Wang Shang directly denied this. Although this is true, "In fact, everyone knows that the film business and the television broadcasting business actually have something in common. Film can
Put it on the TV station, and then the stars can participate in the TV station's variety shows, and the TV station's production team can borrow the resources of the film company. In addition, Tianwang Film and Television will tilt its efforts towards TV series to prepare for the TV station.
Everyone will see more exciting TV series."
If it weren't for the TV station's publicity, Wang Shang wouldn't explain so much.
"Last time you said you wouldn't make a movie in the near future, do you mean you will make a TV series next?"
Wang Shang replied readily: "I will participate in the editing of the new TV series. As for the director, I won't consider it for the time being."
After answering this question, the lottery staff announced: "The next reporter is Mr. Wang, a reporter from East China Finance."
A reporter from "East China Finance" stood up excitedly after hearing this and asked Wang Shang: "Will the TV station change its name? Also, every TV station will have a main channel, including variety shows, news, finance, and law.
There are movies and TV shows, what programs does your TV station focus on?"
Although there were a lot of questions asked, these were all what Wang Shang wanted to talk about, so Wang Shang was very cooperative in answering them one by one: "The TV station will change its name, and it will be changed to Oriental TV Station. After all, Ningnan TV Station
The name is regionally narrow. As for the main channels, we plan to focus on the variety show channel, movie and TV series channels and animation channels. The variety show channel is already a satellite channel, while the movie and TV series channels and animation will be upgraded to satellite channels."
The reporter sat down contentedly, and the next reporter who was drawn stood up and asked: "Why did you choose variety shows and animation? Do you have enough confidence in these two aspects?"
"As for variety shows, I have enough confidence. Variety shows usually include performances of many natures, such as music, dance, acrobatics and comedy. These are all closely related to the main business of the film and television group, so it is absolutely not The problem is, judging from the current situation, my country's variety shows are still relatively backward compared to foreign countries. And I am quite confident about the variety show channel. As for the animation channel, the animation department of Tianwang Film and Television has already produced three cartoons. I will meet with you at that time and I have great confidence in them."
During the entire press conference, under the guidance of Wang Shang, all questions were directed to the TV station, which had a very good publicity effect for the TV station.
Several reporters also asked movie theaters and special effects companies some questions.
Finally, a reporter asked Wang Shang if he wanted to be a father. When Wang Shang said yes, the scene was filled with blessings.
The congratulations from many reporters made the tired Wang Shang feel energetic again and his face glowed. This was even more awesome than drinking Red Bull.
