Chapter 842【004】Global box office of US$16.24 billion on the first day

"Now MGM, Sony, Columbia, and Disney Pictures are willing to give [004] a screening platform on Longbow Films' VR viewing helmet. Why are we waiting to cooperate with Disney Pictures in two years! It can be rolled out now Longbow Film and Television’s VR viewing helmets have replaced traditional physical theater distribution channels around the world.”

Old Luke saw Zhang Nan make several phone calls and negotiate the global screening of [004] on the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet. He immediately looked at Zhang Nan excitedly and reminded him.

Zhang Nan was a little surprised when he saw Old Luke was so excited: "You don't want the benefits from your brother-in-law?"

"You deducted another half, leaving only one million US dollars. But even if it is the full amount, it is only four million US dollars. The Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet can replace the global traditional physical theater distribution system. In terms of the benefits it brings, it’s nothing,” Old Luke said soberly.

Zhang Nan nodded slightly at Old Luke's sobriety and continued: "Unfortunately, the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet cannot circumvent the Hollywood giants."

"Huh? Why?" Old Luke expressed confusion.

Zhang Nan continued to explain: "With so much oil underground in the Middle East, why does it have to be settled in US dollars? Wouldn't it be better to sell it yourself?"

"..."

Old Luke was silent.

“It was just this one film, [004], and the producer was MGM, so I was able to use the MGM banner to get Disney and Sony Columbia Pictures to come to the platform.

However, if new movies are screened in batches on Longbow VR VR viewing helmets, the interests of their own distribution channels will be severely damaged, and these Hollywood giants will definitely not be able to help but take action.

The major Hollywood giants have monopolized the global film market for so many years, and their accumulated influence is not just a little bit. "Zhang Nan continued.

After calming down after Zhang Nan's words, Old Luke reacted with a pity and said: "So -, our helmet..."

"Don't, it's my helmet." Zhang Nan interrupted Old Luke's incorrect statement.

Old Luke: "..."

After an aggrieved pause, Old Luke didn't care about Zhang Nan's serious remarks.

After all, he is already so old and is about to die. Money and other things are irrelevant to him. Now he is following Zhang Nan, and all he pursues is fame.

Therefore, Old Luke continued: "So, no matter what you do behind the helmet, you have to pay part of the profits to the Hollywood giants?"

"If you want to make money on other people's land, you have to pay some protection fees. Even the Mexican gangsters who sell cigarettes in North America know this. The North American Taxation Bureau understands this. You are so old, don't you understand?" Zhang Nan He glanced sideways at Old Luke, who was a little more talkative than him.

Old Luke was silenced by Zhang Nan again, and after a while he slowly said: "I'm a little unwilling."

"I have a bit of it, so now I'm releasing the film [004].

As long as the box office of [004] can be sustained, the overall performance of the North American film market this year will not be good.

So under such a strong contrast, there will definitely be small and medium-sized film and television companies that are having a hard time in the future, and they will cooperate with us on their own film projects to open up a small opening.

As long as this strong contrast lasts long enough, measured in years, then the scope of this hole will become larger, and in the end...

Old Luke, you know what?

Taxation is actually a kind of protection fee, and the private life of couples is also considered a sensitive behavior, but the perception is completely different. "Zhang Nan continued.

It was also at this point that Zhang Nan suddenly thought of Mr. Huang in "Let the Bullets Fly", why the first time he saw Zhang Mazi, he played the first of the three cards of treating, beheading, and accepting as a dog. Play a card - treat guests.

Because when you encounter an enemy, using a small benefit of treating them to dinner to divide the enemy's hostility is actually one of the best solutions. …

After finalizing the cooperation intention, there are still specific cooperation details to be negotiated, such as sharing ratio, publicity intensity, etc.

Fortunately, in this regard, whether it is MGM, Disney, Sony Columbia, or Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television Company, they are all professionals.

So it only takes a few days.

[004] The box office share ratio for the VR viewing helmets of Longbow Films was determined after many meetings between the relevant personnel of Longbow Films and the three giants of MGM, Disney and Sony Columbia.

Disney Pictures and Sony Columbia Pictures act as nominal joint promoters, each enjoying a 1% share of the film's box office.

And Zhang Nan personally gets the same 005% share of the global box office as the previous film [].

Longbow Film and Television’s VR viewing helmet platform takes a 10% commission from the box office.

This time, Zhang Nan did not play any double standards on the platform's commission.

Because the box office share that MGM Pictures can get from [004] is only %.

And this 38% is based on half-price movie tickets.

If calculated, it would only be 19%, which is 1% less than the 20% box office share obtained in traditional physical theaters.

However, in terms of box office ratio, MGM Pictures lost one percent in [004].

However, due to the lack of a large amount of expenditure on physical theater distribution, for the production department within MGM Pictures and the project itself, as long as [004] can sell well at the box office, the income may not be better than before. Even higher.

then.

October 9, Wednesday.

【004】Officially launched in Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet.

Even before eight o'clock in the evening of the premiere, [004]'s reservation ticket sales had already reached nearly one billion US dollars.

And it was around eight o'clock in the evening.

In less than ten seconds, [004]'s nearly one billion U.S. dollars in reservation ticket sales were transformed into real sales, and the value amount made another big jump.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after most of the first batch of moviegoers finished watching, the rave reviews gave another boost to [004]'s cumulative box office.

When [004]'s first four-hour online time ended, [004]'s first-day global box office data was fixed at 16.24 billion U.S. dollars in a single day.

Old Luke was a little confused looking at the four-hour box office results.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan said to Old Luke: "Well, the premiere is scheduled for Wednesday, the middle working day, right?
In this day and age, everyone has plenty of time and place to play on Fridays. Basically, the best form of entertainment is not watching movies. There are too many forms of entertainment that can compete with watching movies.

But Wednesday is different. At this time, most migrant workers around the world are most tired and need to relax most. Moreover, with helmets as a very convenient way to watch movies, other entertainment methods cannot compare with watching movies. "
