"Go and say hello to other companies. We must at least be united in our efforts to reduce their box office revenue as much as possible and reduce the impact of China's works."
"Especially the works of Mubai Entertainment. The box office of this work itself is not high in China, so the scheduling rate can be lower. Compared with other works, the first thing we need to target is the works of Mubai Entertainment. Their rise
It’s too fast and should not be taken lightly.”
Caitlin's voice became softer and softer, but the emphasis in it was not light. It was even more dignified than before. Under their attack, Chen Mubai stood up. Mubai Entertainment is doing better and better. This is not a simple matter.
things.
If this didn't attract her attention, their company wouldn't be the size it is today.
She will not despise any enemy, let alone this enemy who has survived their pressure and is getting better as he gets better. Isn't this ability alone enough to make them wary?
"Okay, I'll contact you right away and we will cooperate in this regard!" Trillis promised.
"I remember Chen Mubai himself is filming a movie, right?" Caitlin said lightly: "It should be almost done?"
"Yes, the trailer has been sent out, let me show it to you."
Cuillis clicked the trailer of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" for Caitlin to watch, and said: "It will be released in China on August 6, and screenings will be started in advance. He seems very confident in his movie."
"When this movie is finished, it should be released in theaters in the United States. It should be in September-October. I don't know if I will wait for the October movies to be sent over there. After all, October is a prime time in China. Every year
There will be some good works, and the box office will be very high during this period."
Caitlin listened to Cuillis's report and watched the promotional video of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" with a sneer on her lips: "I want to follow the route of a literary film and I am confident in the quality of the film, so this is not a commercial film. It is just for screening.
It’s just a promotional method on his part to increase the movie’s box office by relying on word of mouth.”
"After all, literary and artistic films are not the mainstream of the market. No matter how high the quality is, the impact will be limited. When the time comes, we can treat this film in the same way."
Cuillis nodded: "It makes sense. I think it's very possible. We can also wait for his movie to be released here and write some soft articles to criticize it. If the public knows that it is an art film, I'm afraid many people will lose sight of it.
desire."
"Prison Break and The Walking Dead are popular because of their interesting content. They are considered commercial films. Taking the literary route, they probably want to continue to earn awards and then export movies to us. After all, the previous works are all
It belongs to China. If you want to enter our market, you must focus on our culture."
"Many people are looking forward to Chen Mubai's movies, just because "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" are popular. Everyone thinks he is very talented. If they know that it is an art film, some people will definitely want to watch it. Essentially, everyone wants to watch it.
Look at Chen Mubai’s commercial works, not this kind of in-depth works.”
There is a big difference between literary and artistic movies and commercial movies. Few people are willing to go to the cinema to watch such movies. You can watch them at home. When you go to the cinema, you want to watch exciting movies to relax yourself and release stress. After watching literary and artistic movies, you may increase your mood.
pressure.
Trillis agreed with Caitlin's view, and he went to carry out what Caitlin ordered.
If the box office performance of Chinese films in the United States continues to be lukewarm, it means that local audiences still do not care about Chinese film and television works.
Except that movies co-operated with the United States may have higher box office, but that is because the production team belongs to the United States, but the starring actors are Chinese stars. In the final analysis, it is still an American work, not a Chinese work.
As long as the box office of Chinese films in the United States remains low, Chen Mubai will not be able to capture the largest film market, which will be extremely detrimental to their company's expansion.
Even if the American TV series produced can be popular, there is an upper limit, and not every TV series can be popular.
"Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" are quite popular, but how many more can be produced?
There are many works of this level in the United States. The television field can only explain one problem, but the works that really want to expand globalization are still movies.
In terms of revenue, it is also the biggest movie.
If a movie is a hit, it can earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and even some epic works can earn billions of dollars!
This is not an impact that TV dramas can match!
Just like the "Monster" series of movies, they have a huge global impact, with many fans and audiences. This is an IP. As long as you keep filming, you can continue to make money, and the audience will eat it.
This is only the revenue from the movie, not including video tapes and peripheral revenue. These monster models all have property rights, the monster toys are very popular, and the producers can make a lot of money.
Relying on film and television works to gain popularity, and then the movies and peripherals will sell well. Some film and television companies will even shoot some alternative works, such as Monsters vs. Aliens, in which monster prototypes are used, and the monsters will be purchased from the producers.
Portrait rights, otherwise it will be regarded as infringement.
Movies face the largest public image and reap the same benefits. Therefore, movies are the highest palace of art. A lot of capital pours in, and stars also want to become actors. This is also a reflection of status and celebrity.
No matter which country you are in, movie actors of the same level must have higher status than TV actors.
For local film and television companies such as AMC, since they cannot prevent the proliferation of Mubai Entertainment's American dramas, it is also good to effectively prevent them from continuing to expand their scale in movies.
The box office of a movie has a great relationship with the film schedule, even more important than the quality, because it is related to the number of times the movie is played, and the audience can buy tickets to watch it at any time.
They arrange films for Chinese films, but they are not high, which can greatly limit the box office. Even if Mubai Cinema arranges more films, the data is still limited.
After all, the United States is too big and has many theaters. For everyone, making money is the most important thing. If Chinese Films doesn't make money, it won't give high-end films, and Chen Mubai can't change this fact.
No one has trouble with money. Even Mubai Cinema gives Chinese movies a higher rehearsal rate, but it is not higher than some American blockbuster movies.
...
"Director Rondo, do you have time for an interview?"
A reporter and a cameraman came to the set of "The Walking Dead" and wanted to interview them.
This show is now a hit. After the foreshadowing in the first few episodes, Rick reunites with his wife and children, and they form a team, but his friend Sean is already with his wife, and now it feels like a love triangle.
Although Rick's wife had previously committed herself to Sean, she was still very happy to see that Rick was not dead, which proved that her feelings for Rick were true and she also wanted to end things with Sean.
But Sean doesn't want this. He likes Lisa very much, and Lisa doesn't want Rick to know what's going on between her and Sean, so even in a doomsday environment, this kind of bloody emotion is still going on, which is why this movie
A spice in bloody zombie movies.
Everyone also saw that some zombies seemed to have real thoughts, some wanted to open the door, and one smashed the glass. These are not things that ordinary zombies can do.
"Okay, but I don't have much time. After the interview, don't interrupt our filming." Rondo said.
"No problem!" The reporter laughed happily and started the interview.
"During this period, the ratings of "The Walking Dead" have been rising steadily, and the number of visits to several websites has also increased a lot. Do you have anything to say about this?"
Rondo: "Thank you very much for your support and love for us. The filming of this drama is very difficult. I often read fans' comments. The realistic makeup requires several hours of painting, and the scenes are all arranged realistically. Although
It’s very tiring, but seeing everyone love it makes it all worth it.”
Reporter: "One thing everyone is very curious about is why the zombies in the show are different. Some are conscious, can pick up dolls and open doors. This point has not yet been concluded. Do you think it is a mutation?"
Rondo laughed and said: "This is the setting. After the protagonist wakes up, the world has just begun to change. The zombie virus has just appeared. It takes a certain amount of time for zombies to turn into humans. During this process, some people are more resistant, so they will
They retain some instincts, but over time they will become zombies without intelligence."
"If zombies are intelligent and add this number, then humankind will really perish. The core of this show is survival. Things have just happened now, and many people are not used to it. When they adapt, there will be new stories.
Everyone knows the law of the jungle."
The reporter suddenly realized: "I see, I didn't expect this setting. Some viewers have guessed a similar setting before. You have solved a problem for all of us."
"What was the most difficult thing during the filming process?"
"The main problem is the costumes of the zombies. There are too many and they can't all be the same. It makes our brains hurt thinking about the styles. Moreover, the makeup takes too long. It is very hard for the actors to wear these special effects makeup. They are often filming.
During the process, I was exhausted..."
"Last question, when the filming of this drama started, you put in so much effort, could you predict that the results would be good?"
Rondo shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Chen Mubai gave me the script. He just said that we would try our best to produce a good work and don't care about the results. He believed that our sincerity will be seen by everyone and that some people will like this drama."
"
"Also, the script of this drama is very good, and his talent is amazing. He also came to the scene in person to give us some guidance, including the detailed settings of the zombies and the behavior of the characters."
It's normal to blow Chen Mubai. After all, he is the boss of his own company, so he still needs to be licked. If he feels comfortable being licked by Chen Mubai, he can do some basic work for himself or reuse him. It's not a profit!
Besides, although "The Walking Dead" is now popular, it doesn't mean that the director will not change in the future. Rondo just wants to add some insurance to himself.
You finally got a big hug, but you can't let it go easily. You're making money, it's not shabby!
And he did not exaggerate too much. Without Chen Mubai's script, he would not have been able to make this work, and naturally there would be no current situation.
The female reporter was a little surprised to see Rondo praising Chen Mubai in such a serious manner, but she was not stupid and would not try to cause trouble, otherwise she would not offend others!
She immediately put on a bigger smile: "Although you praised Chen Mubai very much, it is not an exaggeration. His talent is well known to everyone. That music album broke many records and is also known as the most outstanding album in recent years.
Both quality and sales are second to none!”
"It seems that he is directing a movie. We can look forward to it when the time comes. Also, there seems to be a movie with a script written by him that is being released in China recently. Are you paying attention?"
Rondo showed a happy expression and laughed: "Oh, yes, "Saw"! I have heard about this movie. It is a very good work. It is said that the score is very high. Wait here.
When it comes out, I will definitely go and watch it."
It can be regarded as a disguised advertisement for "Saw". Rondo is clearly licking Chen Mubai!
