How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 835 A short-lived and unique global mouthpiece

"Six hundred million!"

Xu Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Zhang Nan's quotation.

Because according to the current rules of the mainland film market, if the producer wants to get a share of 600 million yuan in revenue, the movie box office must be at least close to 2 billion yuan.

Xu Zheng's box office expectations for "囧Mom" this time are predictions of a box office of more than one billion yuan.

That's why he signed a guaranteed distribution deal of RMB 2.4 billion with Hengdian Pictures and a guaranteed production fee of RMB 600 million.

"Maybe it can be higher, it depends on how you talk about it." After hearing Xu Zheng's exclamation, there was no movement. Zhang Nan roughly guessed that Xu Zheng should be in shock now, so he Another fire was added, and after this fire, the phone was hung up.

But Zhang Nan’s enthusiasm is not false.

After all, the transaction volume between [囧Mom] and Jump Byte in the original space is indeed higher than 600 million yuan, reaching a licensing fee of 630 million yuan.

……

New Year's Eve night.

Following the successive cancellations of "Win the Championship", "囧Mom", "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Emergency Rescue", "Jiang Ziya", one of the follow-up series of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", also announced its withdrawal. files.

This is the end.

All films originally scheduled to be released in the 2020 Spring Festival have been withdrawn.

The Spring Festival stalls of "The Wandering Earth 2", which was only released last year and had a box office of over billion yuan, were completely empty.

But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, movie theaters in the mainland are closed, and there is no way for the movie to be released even if it wants to be released.

But at this juncture, a big news suddenly broke out on the short video media.

ByteDance spent 6.4 million yuan to purchase the online broadcast rights of "囧Mo".

And it will be available for online viewers to watch for free starting at midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Originally, everyone was quite bored at this special time.

The first thing I do when I get up every morning is to check how many people were infected across the country, across Asia, and around the world during yesterday's day.

And listen to what Wang Dong said adamantly: No, nothing happened in North America and everyone is healthy.

Now suddenly a free movie comes out, and this movie is not a small-budget production by Xiaokarami, but a sequel to the mainland's top comedy IP "Journey to the Road".

For a while.

There was immediate discussion online.

And it’s not just the Internet that’s talking about it.

The major theaters, distributors, and even the film and television companies in the mainland have also begun to make phone calls to each other and hold meetings.

To be honest, the status of the film and television company, the producer of this meeting, is actually somewhat inappropriate for participating.

However, many theaters and distributors have seen the mainland film market booming in recent years. They all want to realize a one-stop industry plan and have opened many film and television companies.

and……

Seeing that ByteDance spent 6.4 million to buy Xu Zheng's "囧Mom", other film and television companies are also jealous!

……

on video conference.

"Boycott, must be boycotted, this is completely destroying the industry ecology of the mainland film market..." The participating representatives of Hengdian Pictures spoke very fiercely.

Without it. Because Hengdian Pictures originally signed a guaranteed distribution cooperation with [囧Mo] and spent 1.5 million yuan in promotion fees. However, it suddenly encountered this force majeure situation and interrupted the cooperation, and then others took advantage of it. Into the.

It can be said that Hengdian Pictures directly lost 1.5 million yuan in publicity and distribution fees, and conversely, the 1.5 million yuan in publicity and distribution fees also helped others.

This is a loss of 300 million yuan over time, and the representatives of Hengdian Pictures cannot hesitate.

"We must boycott, but how? There is no law in the country that stipulates that after filming, the film must be sold to our distributors and theaters?"

Representatives from Bernard Films have long been jealous of Hengdian Pictures' huge success in the field of animated films this year.

Especially "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", which has a box office of over 2 billion yuan, is almost equal to half of the box office of "The Wandering Earth ".

But [The Wandering Earth 2], what kind of existence and what kind of accumulation is that?
It was Zhang Nan who had dominated the global film and television industry for many years and launched "The Wandering Earth 1" as a springboard to create "The Wandering Earth 2".

So when I heard the representative from Hengdian Pictures speaking, I immediately said something weird.

The representative from Hengdian Pictures was stunned when he heard this and was speechless.

Because Xu Zheng’s operation of selling [囧Mom] to Jump Byte is really not a problem from a legal perspective.

"And... as far as I know, because of the copyright of "People on the Road", it was Director Zhang at first. Later, due to the outbreak of "囧囧", Director Zhang was given 2% of the subsequent two series. Fifteen total box office proceeds were sold to Xu Zheng.

So [囧Mom], in this project, there is Director Zhang’s money, and it can be regarded as Director Zhang’s project. We just directly boycotted Director Zhang’s project and affected Director Zhang’s money. Have you ever thought about the consequences? "The representative from Wanda Pictures spoke up.

And as soon as he spoke, everyone in the video conference was immediately silenced.

Without it.

Although Zhang Nan has always been a harmonious person in the mainland film and television industry in recent years, she has never had any conflicts with anyone.

Even in projects such as "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", they earned the maximum profit as the issuer and investor, but their means were also upright.

But if anyone thinks that Zhang Nan's interests are easy to infringe, then the result will definitely not be good.

Not to mention that this was just Zhang Nan's previous personal power.

And that's until now.

With the popularity of Longbow Film and Television's VR viewing helmets across the country and around the world, Zhang Nan's personal influence has risen to a level that even the top five countries in the WPC cannot ignore.

After all, the main function of the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet is to watch movies, but it is also applicable to TV series, news, communications, advertisements, etc.

You can even say that.

In the past few years, Zhang Nan has become almost the only mouthpiece in the world.

The BBC, ABC, Reuters, Agence France-Presse... and other public opinion manipulation parties are all inferior to Zhang Nan.

Because these public opinion manipulators can only make up some news, and the audience still has the right to turn away and not read it.

However, Zhang Nan’s Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet is buckled directly on the person’s head.

Do you want to watch it?
Unless you take your helmet off.

But in an environment like Europe and the United States, doing that is basically equivalent to playing a lottery game with the God of Death, and the consequences are too serious.

Of course.

Zhang Nan would not be so coercive, that would be too disgusting and excessive.

At most, Zhang Nan is neutral and objective in various news editing.

But even being neutral and objective is actually enough.
