The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 144 Xiao Xiang New Market in North America

Wang Wei didn't know that the undercurrents in the circle began to surge.

In his opinion, even if Dunhuang attracts some talent franchise now, most of them are delivered to him by themselves. Dunhuang has not dug up five major corners, so it will not cause a rebound.

Let’s take a look at the several directors and producers he recruited at the celebration banquet. Although he had considerable experience, he sent them all over by himself because of various reasons and did not get the right opportunity.

Of course, their future achievements are hard to say, and their current level is enough for Dunhuang.

And even these few people didn’t just take it off.

Just signing a long-term contract is a problem.

The obstacles mainly come from their respective agents—

Signing a long-term contract is really unfavorable for them to increase the price in their subsequent cooperation.

This is also an important reason why Dunhuang requires a long-term contract.

Lao Wang first smiled and said, "It is impossible to pick up money. It is also a mature and competitive film market. If you want to enter this market, you cannot do without the top five Hollywoods."

Perhaps because the market has become relatively smaller, after a series of mergers and reorganizations, only five major forces in Hollywood are left - Warner Bros., Fox, Paramount, Disney, and Universal.

"Not mentioning the Western elements, the audience of North American horror films is much larger than that of China in terms of proportion."

"yes!"

...

But at this stage, this is the best choice in Dunhuang.

The film industry is of course one of the legal and profitable industries in the world, but there are profits and losses, and both at home and abroad, the losses are more than profits!

If you look at Dunhuang for a long time, you may have some illusion that it makes money by making small costs, and it makes a lot of money! So, why can't I follow the example?

Looking out of Dunhuang, whether it is the Chinese entertainment industry or Hollywood, there are too many movies that lose money. Not any company can make one movie and one movie, nor can anyone make one movie and one movie if it is made.

Another advantageous thing is that no one has mastered the global production thinking and the opportunities are relatively equal.

New market, net profit! Earn a cent is profitable!

Promoting Chinese culture is still secondary. It is really good to earn tickets from North American audiences.

After all, if they had the qualifications to share the box office in other film and television companies before, they would not have been able to take the initiative to come and be "poached".

Lao Xu analyzed from another perspective: "It's not easy to make money when you go in. All markets are xenophobic, and the North American market is especially xenophobic."

Wang Wei was slightly stunned and did not deny their statements.

There is only one small problem-

"The Lamb" seems to be neither, but several people are optimistic that it can have a try in the North American market.

So no matter how complicated other work is, he has not relaxed in his "carving" his works.

"What do you think of the North American market?"

This is indeed a very interesting point. North American culture accumulation is too thin. Well, it can even be said that there is no cultural accumulation. Instead, it can be more creative and come up with very unique science fiction stories and ideas.

The other two nodded together.

But agents obviously don't think so.

Therefore, Dunhuang has found its own path on the road of using money to smash people.

Outsiders know that Wang Wei himself will certainly not know.

Therefore, judging from the box office performance of the movies they introduced, in addition to the curiosity, both parties are more interested in areas they are not very good at—

When I first chose this movie, I certainly had the reasons for my winning attributes, but I cannot say that I had no idea of ​​targeting the Western market, especially the North American market.

Note that there is guarantee - the verbal share is about zero.

After Wang Wei completed the initial cutting of "The Silence of the Lambs" and Wang Wei confirmed that all the post-production could be completed as scheduled, he brought Wang Chuanqi, Xu Daoxing and other publicity and distribution supervisors to discuss a serious issue-

From the perspective of the film industry, Huayu and Hollywood are basically the same level, but the themes that both sides are good at are indeed different.

Most of the small companies below Dunhuang are only jealous of the envy. Even if they offer box office dividends, no one believes that they can get it - they will support themselves first and then talk about other things.

Even if a long contract is signed, the pay paid to the target target will at least meet the market conditions.

Moreover, most industry companies cannot afford to play Dunhuang.

To be honest, this is of course a not very healthy development model.

When a company produces limited films every year, if it wants to make more profits, it either improves the quality of the film as much as possible or opens up new markets.

His works are the signature of Dunhuang - all the thriving situation in Dunhuang is based on his continued success.

Huayu's action movies sell best in North America, while Hollywood's science fiction movies sell best in China.

Hollywood is indeed better in science fiction.

——Even if a long contract is signed, as long as the other party continues to create value, Dunhuang will not mind improving their treatment at all, and even actively satisfy their wish to share the box office.

The five majors are indeed more guaranteed in terms of quality and are therefore relied upon by capital, but they are also highly regarded by individual creators. Except for a few close-knit directors, gold medal producers, and ordinary creators are also difficult to obtain a guaranteed box office share.

Wang Wei concluded: "The most important thing is that no matter how difficult it is to make money in the North American market, we still have to find ways to develop it."

Their interests are directly bound to customer returns. Brokers who cannot win more value for customers will be worthless.

“North American audience face-blindness is a problem for Eastern audiences, and cultural differences are a bigger problem.”

"I just said that the Lamb is interested in the Western market!" Lao Wang slapped his thigh.

Lao Wang and Lao Xu looked at each other and started to laugh.

Even if the North American market is also a red ocean, it is still a new market for domestic players.

Long-term appointments are more about limiting the target's price in the sequel, rather than limiting the paycheck unlimitedly.

Huayu is good at shooting action scenes and martial arts scenes. Many Hollywood action designs are a scumbag in front of Chinese action movies. In this regard, both time and space seem to be like this.

The two are Wang Wei's right-hand man. When the promotion of "The Lamb" is about to be launched, when he hears this question, he knows that he has an idea.

It is not difficult for outsiders to see that this road can only be achieved by Wang Wei leading it.

Money can not only deeply stimulate individuals; if a company wants to develop, the stimulation of money is also the most important thing!

Lao Xu also smiled and said, "From the perspectives of the idea, the story, and the characters' names are Westernized, if you say that "The Lamb" has no intention to be in the Western market, I won't believe it if I beat you to death! Sure enough..."

However, all differences came to an end in Dunhuang's new "payment increase" plan.

The market has been open to each other and the limited number of movies has been introduced for more than two years, and some rules can be summarized.

“How do we get the export movie quota?”

Lao Wang asked frowned.

"That's your business." Wang Wei spread his hands and smiled evilly.

Zhang said, comment... It is said that it will not recover in November, and it should be a few days left~~~
