How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 839 [Creed] Almost pushed Warner Pictures’ mainland branch account back to before the millennium
to be frank.

Robert Watt's idea of ​​​​representing Disney Pictures made Zhang Nan quite excited.

But after thinking for a moment, Zhang Nan still declined and asked Old Luke to send Robert Watt away.

After seeing off his brother-in-law, Old Luke immediately returned to Zhang Nan.

"Zhang, what are you thinking about? The cooperation that my brother-in-law mentioned before is really pertinent. In places like Europe and the United States, it would be difficult for you to go it alone." Old Luke's tone was anxious and full of confusion. asked.

Zhang Nan glanced at Old Luke and knew that when he just sent this guy to his brother-in-law, he must have received the promise of a lot of benefits from this cooperation, otherwise his tone would not be so anxious now.

"I know this, so cooperation is definitely necessary, but how to cooperate? How to distribute the profits? Then we have to talk about it. As soon as he came to talk, I agreed immediately. How can we negotiate the price in the future?" Zhang Nan replied.

Old Luke understood immediately after hearing this, "Then... I won't hide it from you as long as you want to delay it. My brother-in-law just told me that as long as I facilitate this cooperation, he will give me this number."

As he spoke, Old Luke flicked out two fingers.

"Twenty million US dollars?" Zhang Nan looked at Old Luke's gesture and asked.

Old Luke quickly shook his head, "The old president of Warner Pictures retired, and he dared to take 50 million US dollars. I will tell you how to get so much, it is 2 million US dollars."

"Give me half." Zhang Nan blurted out.

Old Luke: "I knew you had to come out like this. Don't worry, it's already been divided. You also have two million US dollars."

Huh?
Zhang Nan glanced at Old Luke in surprise and found that Old Luke had made great progress and had actually taken into account his advance and directly took four million US dollars from his brother-in-law.

But the magic city has grown one foot taller, so the Tao must also grow taller.

So Zhang Nan continued to say shamelessly: "I know you split it, but what I mean is, I will take three million, and you will take one million."

"..."

Old Luke was speechless for a while, and then he reluctantly said: "Okay, but as for the news, you need to reveal more to me, and I will go and check more."

"No problem, I can tell you now the specific time of cooperation with Disney Pictures in my mind."

As he spoke, Zhang Nan stretched out two fingers.

"Two months later?" Old Luke guessed.

Zhang Nan shook his head when he heard this: "Two years later."

The reason why we decided to cooperate at this time is because Zhang Nan knew it very well.

That is, his move to launch the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet will help the mainland, but it will have little effect on Europe and the United States.

After all, Europe and the United States are really chaotic.

Then the situation in the North American film market during this wave should be the same as before. In 2020, the annual cumulative box office was only US$22.5 billion, and in 2021, the annual cumulative box office was only US$44 billion.

而内地影市在2020年和2021年，则是分别拿下了203亿人民币（约合32亿美元）和470亿人民币（约合74.21亿美元）的年度累计票房。

It has been the world's number one movie theater and largest box office for two consecutive years.

But in 2022, due to the impact of Aomi Kerong, the mainland film market has slumped again.

In North America, because of three years of practicing Gu, all the ones that should be eliminated were eliminated, so the market share increased significantly, and it regained the title of the world's number one movie theater and the world's largest box office.

...What Zhang Nan didn't expect was that just as he was sending Robert Watt away, the mainland head of Warner Pictures was following closely behind.

Fortunately, the purpose is different from that of Disney Pictures, which is simply to discuss cooperation on the release of new movies.

And the quality of this movie is not low. It is Christopher Nolan's latest return to science fiction films after "Dunkirk" - "Tenet".

"There is definitely no problem with cooperation. Nolan and I have also collaborated before and we are both friends, but we have to negotiate about the box office share." Zhang Nan looked at the cooperation contract handed over by the person in charge of Warner Pictures and was very enthusiastic. said.

The person in charge of Warner Pictures was stunned when he heard this and said: "Negotiating the box office share? Do we still need to negotiate? Aren't they all the same?"

The entire mainland film and television industry knows how much box office dividends Chinese Film Industry has just received from "Eight Hundred", how much money it made, and how long it took to get the money.

Without it.

Because this is promoted by Chinese Film Industry itself.

Chinese Film Industry has two purposes for doing this.

One is to attract other film producers' film projects to be screened on Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet, so as to reduce his own popularity.

The other is because Chinese Films itself is a listed company. During this period, due to this wave of major events, the stock price has fallen a lot, and there is currently an urgent need for good news to increase the stock price.

It can be said that the Chinese film industry has achieved both goals.

As soon as its situation on "Eight Hundred" was revealed, it directly attracted a large number of producers to discuss cooperation with Longbow Film and Television, and the stock price also rebounded a lot.

"If Warner Pictures can support Longbow Films' VR viewing helmets and screen new movies in North America, then I will definitely treat Warner Pictures' projects equally when they are screened on Longbow Films' VR viewing helmets," Zhang Nan replied.

"..."

The local person in charge of Warner Pictures was completely silent.

Because regarding Longbow Film and Television’s decision to use VR viewing helmets to screen new movies in North America, it was not for him, the person in charge of the mainland region, to intervene.

After all, that is the North American film market with tens or tens of billions of dollars every year!

The major Hollywood giants have maintained their dominance for so many years by monopolizing distribution channels.

During this period, they relied on distribution channels to bring down and acquire emerging film and television companies such as New Line Cinema, DreamWorks Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures, etc.

"How much box office share can Director Zhang give to [Tenet]?" the person in charge of Warner Pictures asked in a low voice.

"How about we just follow the previous rules, 25%." Zhang Nan asked tentatively.

"That's impossible. If the box office ratio is like this, we would rather not show it on your Longbow Films VR viewing helmet." The head of Warner Pictures' mainland immediately jumped to his feet.

Without it.

The movie ticket price on the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet is originally half of the theater ticket price. In other words, 50% of the box office share of the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet is equivalent to 100% of the theater box office share. Twenty-five points.

And 25% is only 12.5%.

You must know that even before the new millennium, the proportion of Hollywood blockbusters' revenue sharing in the mainland was 2012%. After , it doubled to %.

Now if Zhang Nan's operation is really carried out, even if it means simply leaving Warner Pictures alone in the mainland film market for more than ten years, it will suddenly return to the millennium era, and it will return 100% more. 0.5.
