Rebirth of the Evil Life

box office! It is the lifeline of a film company. If the box office is not high, then the film company will not be able to recover the huge investment costs, nor will it be able to make money to maintain the operation of the film company.

What I never expected was that Lin Feng's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" would have such high box office revenue! $1.32 billion! This is an astonishing number that no one expected. 1.32 billion U.S. dollars. Although it did not break the total revenue of "Lord of the Rings" in the North American market of 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, this was only the box office of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" alone. Just based on a single film, then It has exceeded the box office of any other movie in the North American market. "Novel" novel chapters are updated the fastest

In half a month, the total global box office reached an astonishing US$2.515 billion! This is absolutely an unprecedented achievement. No one thought that a typical Chinese movie could achieve such a high box office. In particular, what people didn't expect was that the Chinese market was so popular that it could contribute more than 1 billion US dollars in box office revenue. This was something no one expected.

The Chinese market has such broad prospects! This is amazing! Although "The God's Disciple" contributed the vast majority of box office revenue among them, this cannot negate the potential of the Chinese market. When the five major movie giants were disgraced by the box office performance of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis", they also saw the considerable box office market in China.

, the film market will no longer only include the North American market, but also the Chinese market. A market that can almost compete with the North American market! The five major film giants immediately launched the four films they had hastily launched into the Chinese market. After all, in this confrontation with Lin Feng, they were almost completely defeated.

At the call of a group of Michaels. Movie fans flocked to the ‘Forest Screening Room’. And their movie theater chains. But the door is sparse. Although there are many top blockbusters such as "I Am Legend". However, in the face of a group of Michael's calls, fans bought it very much. As a result, there are four blockbusters, "I Am Legend", "Beowulf", "American Gangster", and "Resident Evil 3: Extinction". The box office of each film will not be less than 200-300 million US dollars. As a result, the total box office of the four films has just exceeded 100 million US dollars. Such dismal box office revenue was completely unacceptable to them.

Apparently, they picked a very wrong time to release their movie. There was no overwhelming publicity, no premiere with big-name stars, almost nothing but their paranoia. The box office is naturally extremely miserable. Therefore, they set their sights on the suddenly discovered ‘gold mining market’ in China. Of course, the Chinese market. Hollywood has been waiting, too. Waiting for the Chinese market to start blowing out.

After all, China is the most populous country in the world. Moreover, its GDP is also increasing year by year. It is now the third largest economy in the world, second only to the United States and Japan. In the foreseeable future, it will surpass Japan and become the second largest economy in the world. Such a market will surely become the largest market in the world. Therefore, Hollywood has been negotiating with China and is gradually selling more movies to China. I just didn’t expect that the Chinese market would suddenly explode.

The box office of 1 billion US dollars is just for a single movie. This is so scary. Basically, no matter how large a capital investment is, the cost can be recovered in China. Under this stimulation, the five major Hollywood film giants immediately launched their films into the Chinese market. I hope that these movies of theirs, even if they are not popular in the United States, may be popular in China. Even if you can't make a fortune, you can at least recover the cost to make up for this decision-making mistake.

However, what is unexpected is that these four movies have encountered huge troubles. This, first of all, is that it failed to pass the qualification review. Of course, it’s not that it didn’t pass, but that the waiting time for the review was a bit long. According to common practice, this will take at least about 1 month to review. For the five major Hollywood film giants, one month is too long.

After waiting for such a long time to review, the day lily was already cold. Although they have a grudge against Lin Feng, they must admit that Lin Feng's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" has completely activated the Chinese market. While this residual heat has not dissipated, they naturally want to take advantage of the opportunity. Make some money. And if we wait for the consumer sentiment to pass and return to normal, we may not be able to make so much money. So, even if there is a grudge, who doesn’t want to make more money now that they can make money?

But what should I do if I don’t pass the review? Even if I pass, I still have to wait for so long? Now, many giant companies are in a hurry. I'm in a hurry, what can I do? I can only find a way to find the person in charge of the relevant department. Anyway, it’s not like they don’t understand Chinese characteristics. Then treat them to dinner and give them gifts! Anyway, as long as you can earn it back, it doesn't matter if you give more away. However, what the five major film giants did not expect was that the leaders of the relevant departments sternly refused. Not to mention giving gifts, even treating guests to dinner.

If you want to visit me, you can do it in the office, and he will receive you politely. But if you want to visit your home, I'm sorry, but you won't be accepted. This time, the five major movie giants were in a state of distress. They didn't expect what this was going to be like! This, this, what's going on! When did you become so honest and law-abiding?

This is unreasonable! This shouldn't be the case! Finally, after all the hard work, the five major film giants finally found out the news. That is, the reason why the leaders of the relevant departments did not accept their banquets and gifts was because they were concerned about Lin Feng. Now that it is clear that Lin Feng is at odds with them, how can they, the leaders of the relevant departments, go against Lin Feng? Although Lin Feng is not a cadre, not a party member, or even a National People's Congress representative. But no one can ignore Lin Feng’s influence in China. Although he is not in the officialdom, he can influence many things in the officialdom.

Therefore, for the sake of their own black hats and for the sake of their buttocks sitting in the best possible position, the leaders of these relevant departments will not do anything that exceeds their limits. Everything can only be done business-like. Moreover, it must be business-like with Chinese characteristics.

Does this mean giving up the Chinese market? The five major film company giants are very reluctant.

"I think we should try contacting Lin Feng!" Fox Film President Elizabeth Murdoch said, "As long as we can get Lin Feng to help us, then I believe our movie will be able to pass the review soon!"

Looking for Lin Feng? Li Jianxi and others' expressions twitched. How is this possible! Go find Lin Feng, they would rather the movie not be released.

"Everyone, don't forget. These four movies of ours are big productions of the year. If we don't find Lin Feng, we won't be able to save the box office. Without the box office, we can't make a submission to the company's board of directors. Of course, to be honest, I don't care. . I am the chairman of the company!" Elizabeth Murdoch said calmly.

Twentieth Century Fox is owned by Murdoch. Later, after Murdoch got divorced, through Lin Feng's 'mediation', he transferred all his property to his ex-wife Anne Murdoch to take care of it, and he went on vacation alone. As for his ex-wife Wendi Deng, except for a New York mansion, a Beijing courtyard house, and some cash, she didn't get any shares or positions. As Murdoch's only daughter, Elizabeth Murdoch inherited 20th Century Fox. She's the chairman, too. Murdoch's shares hold an absolute stake in 20th Century Fox.

So, no matter what happens to the company, Elizabeth won't have to explain it to anyone. unnecessary! But it's different for the others. Among them, especially Lee Kun-hee, president of Samsung Colombia. Although Samsung Consortium also holds an absolute stake in the company, and Lee Kun-hee is also the eldest daughter in the family, in South Korea, women and men are completely different. There is no comparison in status. As for Lee Kun-hee as president of Samsung Colombia, it can be said that he has set a precedent for Korean companies. And if its financial statements are not good-looking, it will be a blow to Li Jianxi.

Therefore, Li Jianxi recovered immediately after the initial discomfort.

"The grudge between us and Lin Feng is a grudge between us, but it has nothing to do with business!" Li Jianxi said categorically, "Business is business, grudges are grudges, we must separate them!"

"But, will Lin Feng be willing to help?" Paramount President John Leh said with a frown.

Lin Feng is a man who is determined to retaliate. Whenever he has the chance, he will stab those who have offended him several times. In this case, if they went to Lin Feng for help, it would be equivalent to stretching their faces to slap Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn't be happier with this!

"Business is business. As long as we can make money, I believe Lin Feng will not refuse. What's more, if we go to him like this, it also means that we are bowing our heads. He will naturally accept it and accept it. Besides, no one wants us to completely agree with Lin Feng. Let’s keep fighting, right? After all, Lin Feng still controls half of the movie screens in the United States through Ellison,” Elizabeth Murdoch said solemnly, “If we continue to fight, let’s not talk about what will happen to Lin Feng in the end, just us CEOs. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain to the board of directors. You don’t want us to help the latecomers!”

The faces of many CEOs darkened. Indeed, if they continue to fight with Lin Feng, the outcome is hard to say. They have the keneng to win, and Lin Feng also has the keneng to win. But the initial chaos will make their financial statements ugly, and those shareholders will definitely not be satisfied. Professional managers like them will inevitably become scapegoats.

Therefore, they must first ensure the box office, and then discuss the grievances with Lin Feng. What's more, speaking of it, the relationship between them and Lin Feng was just official business, there was no personal grudge! Then talk to Lin Feng! To be continued…
