China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 287: The Slow-off Scheme

Unlike the typical Hollywood-style picture of the guests outside, where there were plenty of guests and drinking, this cottage should have been transformed from a smoking room, and there were only six people in Chen Jingxing.

And this room can basically determine DreamWorks' future development prospects in North America.

In addition to Chen Jingxing and Universal Pictures’ vice president Jeff Miller, there are also Vice President of the Film Association Christopher Dodd, as well as executives from Warner, Disney and Sony.

The topic did not directly talk about Gravity or DreamWorks' positioning in Hollywood afterwards, although this is what Chen Jingxing is most urgent to get.

"Grain" is about to be launched in the summer season, and it is almost the beginning of the summer season. With the volume of "Grain", at least one to one and a half weeks have to be spared.

It's not that there will be no other movies released this week, which is of course impossible. New movies will be released every day in the North American market, but it's better not to have the same heavyweight blockbusters collided with them. As a result, both sides will suffer losses, even if

The largest box office has its limits. Any movie with ambition to achieve the top scorer of the annual box office rankings will need to be the dominant player within at least one to two weeks.

If it was normal, the difficulty was not high. His previous movie "Source Code" had a "blank period" for ten days when it was released in North America - meaning that no other A-level productions were released during this period

, but that's not the summer season.

Every summer season is a must-fight place for several major studios. The best time for blockbusters is to be released. It takes less than two months to complete the plan. My own movies are crowded, especially if you have mastered the comic adaptation resources.

The two giants, their Super Hero Universe plan has been laid out step by step. Maybe two or three years ago, which movies to be held this summer.

A Chinese science fiction blockbuster who wants to eat meat in the summer season will obviously disrupt their plans. If they don’t want to lose both sides, at least give Gravity a week or even more schedules, which is equivalent to missing one.

A-level blockbuster.

Of course, if it is a movie of "Fatal Identity" or "Signal", these big manufacturers should not care about it, but the production level of "Gravity" is the operating posture of DreamWorks being released simultaneously worldwide, especially the preview

The film did trigger a good reaction in North America, which almost equated to snatching food from their mouths.

However, in his eyes, Chen Jingxing was just a potential new star in the film industry, and there was no essential difference between him and other young Japanese and Korean directors who deliberately tended to be East Asian countries in those years under his leadership and supported him.

However, the lament of impermanence of the world is not the main content today.

Christopher said helplessly: "But China's huge market cannot give up easily, right? In fact, in trade negotiations with them, opening up the number of foreign films has always been a very concerned issue in Washington, with the share ratio and

Not an urgent matter…”

Chen Jingxing's arrangement for "Matrix" will also be released within the year. Although the production cost of this movie is far less than that of "Georgeous", the box office potential is only higher than that of "Georgeous".

It is equivalent to Hollywood having a strong second-tier film company out of thin air. This is a major event that can change the competitive landscape. Moreover, this company also has some global distribution capabilities. At least its distribution capabilities and brand power in the Asia-Pacific region are not weaker than that of Hollywood manufacturers.

of.

He naturally knew Chen Jingxing, and even came into contact with him. He even talked with Chen Jingxing, who was the biggest winner of the Orlando Film Festival that year.

However, the three best periods in China are basically closed by the sharing of accounts, and the summer period can only be considered as half of the door being opened.

But what they saw from Gravity was a dangerous signal.

It seems that ally Jeff Miller saw Chen Jingxing's impatientness and doubts, and interrupted with a smile: "Speaking of this, everyone has dealt with Guoying. After all, our movies will be handed over to this official company to release. You

Maybe I don’t know that DreamWorks and Guoying have a close relationship. The movie "Operation Mekong", which just broke the box office record of Chinese film history, was jointly produced by DreamWorks and Guoying. This is an official... tribute film

,chen, am I right about it?"

The company that executes the release of split blockbusters is Guoying, the company.

"Please, Robert, you've complained about the share ratio too many times..."

The box office of 300 million US dollars is a seed player in North America who can compete for the annual box office championship. In fact, the box office of "The Young Avenger" in China is only 20 million less than that of the local box office.

In layman's terms, DreamWorks has potential, or it is already on the way to becoming a competitor to Hollywood manufacturers.

If only one or two foreign blockbusters stir up the storm in North America, several major manufacturers would not have had such a shallow eyelids. In addition to the vast overseas market, they also have a complete IP development system, and the simple North American box office in their

The proportion of profits is declining year by year.

Although some media reports are sour, and there are even many data that ordinary people think are fake, they are very keen to report negative news across the ocean, including negative news in the film industry, and news that Chinese box office fakes are fake.

Naturally, all movies are suspected of being faked. Many people are unwilling to admit that the Chinese Congress became the world's largest vote in a few years. In fact, they are unwilling to admit any progress in China.

If this trend continues, it will be equivalent to an additional mid-level film company in the North American market second only to first-tier manufacturers. If DreamWorks can achieve an average of two blockbusters in North America in an average of two blockbusters in North America, the market share it can share will even exceed that of the market.

Most medium-sized film companies.

A film history has been set and has a close relationship with a state-owned enterprise with a monopoly nature. Not to mention Operation Mekong, there are national film investors in Gravity. Even though DreamWorks is indeed a private enterprise,

In some people's eyes, Chen Jing also has an invisible red hat on his suit, which is an inertial perception formed by their dealings with many Chinese companies.

There must be a special reason why a private film company can rise like a rocket in a country with such a system, without any restrictions. They are willing to believe that Chen Jingxing must have energy, although they have not found Chen Jingxing's kinship and his wife's

There is conclusive evidence in the kinship that meets their expectations.

The proportion of accounts and the number of places introduced cannot be solved overnight. The problems involved are grand and complex, but they still have room for operation in their eyes.

"I've seen this movie." Kevin Kroll, the vice president of Warner with white hair, interrupted Chen Jingxing's words to correct it: "This movie has won 30 million box offices in the Asia-Pacific region outside China.

Although there are some explicit...youknow..." He immediately gave Chen Jingxing a kind smile: "But from the production level, I think it is a war action-type movie above the level."

The film market in China is a strong schedule market, and the concentrated viewing brought by good schedules is more crazy than other markets.

But leaving aside the emotional ignorant voice, Hollywood filmmakers and senior executives of major factories are all salivating.

As the conversation progressed, Chen Jingxing kept rolling his eyes in his heart.

Chen Jingxing has established his personal brands through several science fiction classics to make DreamWorks a rare film company outside of Hollywood factories that can open up distribution channels across countries and regions.

Christopher Dodd, vice president of the Film Association, looked at the familiar young man in front of him who was still calm under the gaze of many big shots, and his heart was complicated and hard to say.

His film production scale is larger than the other, and this film "Georgement" is even more directly at the level of a heavy industry film.

Good guy, what are you doing? I look down on me, Mr. Chen?

"…This is the price of opening up new markets, but this price seems to be a bit too high."

But it shouldn't be. All executives from major Hollywood factories have graduated from prestigious universities, not like idiots.

Hollywood is very concerned about the rapidly developing Chinese market, especially last year, "The Young Avengers" broke the film history record that has been covered by China for many years with a box office of more than 300 million US dollars.

It is the share ratio and more places to introduce, so what is the use of telling me is useless?

That's right, DreamWorks is indeed an "representative enterprise in the cultural field" and a "benchmark enterprise" that has been officially defined, but it has no effect on these two issues?

You should work with Washington.

In the eyes of these people in the room, this is a "equivalent exchange".

This is not even a picture of the future, it is reality.

Hollywood media was very concerned at the time, including the subsequent "Source Code" and the summer war. Several consecutive 300 million-dollar movies broke the Chinese film history records one after another.

Although Chen Jingxing has not had a long time to fight with people on such occasions because of his rapid rise, he still understands his meaning.

Operation Mekong is also led by DreamWorks. Although the box office results are far inferior to several of Chen Jingxing's science fiction masterpieces due to its strong main theme style and the fact that Hollywood already has many similar films.

He has achieved more than 30 million US dollars.

If Chen Jingxing is willing to exert the influence of DreamWorks, including its influence on Guoying, let their movies, especially the blockbusters of several major factories open the door to popular schedules in China, there is no need to be open, as long as the cracks in the door are exposed

Just some.

Not only was he the president of Disney, he also served as honorary chairman of the Orlando Fantasy Film Festival for many years. This non-art film festival that has become the world's largest film trading market in just over a decade was transformed in his hands.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this young Chinese filmmaker was able to be on par with him. Of course, it was not just the identity of a director, but the identity of a rising globally influential film company owner.

Then they don't mind Chen Jingxing's ambition for the North American summer season, and even his attempt to continue to make money in the North American market. After all, DreamWorks can only release one or two heavyweight films on a large scale in North America every year. They are not allowed to do so.

Not down.

At the beginning of this year, China even gave birth to a new record of 400 million US dollars.

Chen Jingxing and his DreamWorks have gradually gained a foothold through movies that have achieved box office success in North America, especially through Universal, who have obtained tickets that can directly participate in the issuance.

"This is a fact. Is there any other country in the world treating us like this? The share ratio of one-quarter has made the Chinese movie box office worth half of the gold."

Not to mention that DreamWorks is gradually developing its overseas market. For example, the release of the movie "Source Code" in the Asia-Pacific region is almost independently operated by DreamWorks.

If this is the exchange they have put forward, then the "charity fundraising" he took out today will be wasted.

It is good for most medium-sized film companies to have a heavyweight blockbuster a year.

The top three in the box office list of China's current film history, the champion "Mekong" and the runner-up "Mermaid" are all made during the Spring Festival period, and they are also in the Spring Festival period. The third place "Monster Hunt" is made during the summer period.

Chen Jingxing sighed in his heart.

Obviously, these foreigners still don’t understand China.

However, people cannot defeat them. Regardless of whether Chen Jingxing has the ability to meet their conditions, this condition has room for operation.

In other words, Chen Jingxing has room to implement a delaying strategy.
