Chapter 297 'The Gift of Room No. 7' Peninsula wins the championship
"By the way, Peninsula Pictures hopes to deepen cooperation with us!" Lou Jianjun added.
"Deepen cooperation? Make a co-production?" Li Yi asked speculatively.
Lou Jianjun nodded and said: "Not bad!"
Li Yi nodded and asked, "What's your opinion?"
"Actually, the Peninsula's movie market is quite big. Their most popular movie has exceeded 15 million viewers."
"Based on Peninsula movie ticket prices, the movie's highest box office is 600 million Chinese dollars!"
"The key is that if you make a co-production, it will be of great help to the current films and the distribution of your films on the peninsula in the future. So, my suggestion is to give it a try once.
!" Lou Jianjun said.
Li Yi shook his head. If he really wanted to make a co-production, "The Gift from Room No. 7" would actually be the most suitable.
This movie, in Li Yi's memory, has received over 10 million viewers.
Although "My Sassy Girl" is popular in Asia, it cannot compare with this film.
Many people may think that several of Li Yi's movies have been released in China for several years. Is it reliable to release them on the Peninsula at this time?
In fact, this is really normal. It is common for a movie to be delayed for several years before its overseas release.
Of course, the movie box office will definitely have a certain impact.
"By the way, which movie are they planning to star in first?" Li Yi asked.
"'The Gift of Room 7', Peninsula Pictures is very optimistic about this movie!" Lou Jianjun said.
Li Yi thought for a while and finally shook his head and said: "Forget it about co-productions. Such a gimmick has very limited benefits for us. After all, my movies usually have low investment costs. If they are made into co-productions, then domestic
Should we also give away part of our profits? This is not worth the loss for us. After all, the peninsula is not North America, and the market is still relatively limited, but you can negotiate with the other party a cooperation method of one book and two pictures."
Lou Jianjun was silent for a long time. To be honest, this is true for Li Yi. In fact, Li Yi's movies rarely even receive investment from outside.
Without him, his movies are basically all about careless visual effects, and the cost is relatively low. If it is made into a co-production, then it is obvious that it will give money to the partner. No matter how high the box office on Peninsula is, it will be higher.
Domestic box office?
"I understand, I will talk to Peninsula Entertainment!" Lou Jianjun nodded.
"When will "The Gift of Room No. 7" be released?" Li Yi asked.
"It is tentatively scheduled to be released on January 3rd!" Lou Jianjun said.
"If you pay more attention, maybe "The Gift of Room No. 7" can bring some unexpected surprises. I believe that by then, they will definitely be more proactive than us." Li Yi said with a smile.
Lou Jianjun nodded. In fact, if a domestic film like "The Gift from Room No. 7" can be accepted by Peninsula and get decent box office, then it doesn't matter whether it is a co-production or not.
And once "The Gift of Room No. 7" really succeeds on Peninsula, then I think Peninsula Entertainment will definitely become more and more interested in the subsequent films.
Because when these movies are released on the Peninsula, it is Peninsula Entertainment that makes the biggest profit.
Therefore, even if it is for their own benefit, they will definitely be more attentive.
And if Li Yi's domestic films can be successful on the peninsula, then it won't actually matter whether they are co-productions or not.
...
While Li Yi and Lou Jianjun were discussing the peninsula strategy.
Gaole Film and Television has not been idle either.
Cao Zhenqun seems to be very interested in slapping Li Yi in the face.
As for Midan Films, Davis Midan and Alex also hope to strike while the iron is hot.
Taking advantage of the fact that the popularity of "Moving forward with a heavy burden" is high, we announced the project of a feature film of the same name with the same name.
In fact, even if this movie is finished, it will not be released in China.
From this perspective, it seems that there is no need for publicity in China, but Cao Zhenqun of Gaole Film and Television does not think so.
So Gaole Film and Television held a high-profile media meeting to announce the matter.
At the same time, Cao Zhenqun also specially named Li Yi to express his gratitude.
To put it bluntly, I just feel that I can disgust Li Yi.
In this way, Li Yi was "sympathized by the entire network" again.
Li Yi has never come forward to express his views on this matter, nor has he accepted interviews from the media.
This actually made many people feel that Li Yi was hit hard this time.
However, at this moment, a big piece of news came.
"Extremely good news. The film "The Gift of Room 7" directed by a famous Chinese director was released on the Peninsula yesterday. According to statistics from the Peninsula Film Promotion Committee, the Chinese film "The Gift of Room 7" mobilized a total of 15 people in the Peninsula.
With 2,820 moviegoers, it topped the Peninsula’s single-day box office rankings.”
After the news came, many people were a little dumbfounded.
"What the hell? The current news is too outrageous, isn't it? "The Gift from Room 7" happened so many years ago!"
""The Gift of Room No. 7"? Director Gou's first film? Is it only being released on the Peninsula now?"
"It seems to be the second part, right? The first part seems to be called "Bitter and Happy Life"?"
"Who can tell me, what the hell is 152,820 moviegoers? How much is the box office?"
I don’t blame domestic netizens for being confused. The main reason is that this news is very sudden. Not only is it sudden, but the key point is that "The Gift of Room 7" was released in 11 years. For many movie fans, the memory is already a long time ago.
Then he suddenly said that it was only released now and it also won the single-day box office championship of Peninsula Movies.
Everyone’s first reaction is that this is fake news!
This news was really not reported by any domestic media, but was sent back by an international student in the peninsula.
After all, few domestic films usually achieve good results in Peninsula Cinemas, and I haven’t heard of any domestic films landing in Peninsula Cinemas recently.
Therefore, naturally no media will pay special attention to the box office performance of Peninsula movies.
After seeing this news, the domestic media became involved.
After learning that the news was true, reporters were sent to the peninsula.
This news is much more exciting than the joint development of "Moving forward with a heavy load" by Goller Films and Midan Films.
At this time, the official media suddenly reported the news.
And it was more detailed than the news from the previous international student.
If the news sent back by international students makes everyone doubt its authenticity, then the reports from the official media cannot be false, right?
As a result, movie fans were surprised and at the same time even more confused.
However, other media outlets soon followed suit.
This topic immediately exploded.
There is no way. Although the Chinese film market has been rising rapidly in recent years, the problem is that it can basically only operate in the domestic market, and it is not that it has not gone abroad.
However, most movies that do well at the domestic box office do not do well at the box office after being released.
Only a few movies can achieve certain success overseas.
But there are very few people who can win the box office championship overseas, even the Japanese box office championship!
