Chapter 843: The effect of the golden finger doubled?

"$16.24 million?"

In the president's office of MGM Pictures, President Caesar Lewis felt numb when he heard the news from the [004] project leader, and quickly asked: "Is it the global box office of 16.24 billion U.S. dollars in one day, or the estimated 16.24 billion U.S. dollars? Billions of dollars in box office?”

“It’s a box office of 16.24 billion US dollars in one day.

However, according to the person in charge of Longbow Film and Television, the screening situation on VR headsets is different from that of traditional physical theaters.

Basically, the box office on the first day is 004% to 004% of the cumulative box office of a big IP series, so the subsequent box office increase of [] will probably be only two or three billion US dollars at most. "The person in charge of the [] project at MGM Pictures explained to President Caesar Lewis.

Caesar Louis directly waved his hand and said: "On the first day, there will be 16.24 billion US dollars. How can we hope to do this every day? So what is our profit on [004] this time?"

"This is actually easy to calculate. Thirty-eight percent of the US$16.24 billion - US$6.1712 million. And if there are no surprises with this income, it will be available to the company's account on the working day next week. This is from Longbow Film and Television. "That's what the person in charge said." [004] The person in charge of the project replied.

When Caesar Louis heard this answer from his subordinates, his inner resistance to the Longbow VR VR viewing helmet replacing traditional physical theaters suddenly dropped a lot.

Without it.

Although MGM Pictures is also one of the major distributors of traditional physical theaters in the world.

However, in the past, when MGM's own film projects were released through its own distribution channels, the repayment speed after release was not so fast. They were paid on a monthly, quarterly, or even yearly basis.

Moreover, in order to maintain its own distribution channels, MGM Pictures has to invest hundreds of millions in traditional physical theaters every year.

to be frank.

The reason why MGM Pictures was dragged into bankruptcy by the movie "Windtalkers".

Part of it is because of the failure of "Windtalker", but the more important part is because the industrial system of MGM Pictures is too bloated and consumes too much resources. "Windtalker" is the excuse.

If the original MGM Pictures could get rid of its bloated traditional physical theater industry, it would never go bankrupt.

Without it.

The [007] series has been enduring for a long time. If we only focus on the content, MGM Pictures will not have any problems at all with the foundation behind it.

and so……

"When communicating with the person in charge of Longbow Film and Television, your tone should be polite, especially when it comes to the distribution cooperation of some film projects. Don't be so rigid and speak more flexibly." Caesar Lewis was in charge of the [004] project The man said.

【004】The project leader is just a wage earner, so he will naturally not resist the instructions of his immediate boss.

……

[004] The box office of 16.24 billion US dollars on the first day not only changed the attitude of MGM Pictures, but also the box office and revenue.

It has also caused another wave of impact on the traditional physical theater distribution system of the mainland movie market.

Without it.

Because [004] of the US$16.24 billion box office on the first day, more than RMB billion, equivalent to more than US$ million, was contributed by the mainland film market.

You must know that the time node of September 9 is a very useless time in terms of traditional physical theater distribution channels.

There are [Eight Hundred], [Creed], [Win the Championship], [Vanguard], [Mulan], [Jiang Ziya]... and other films in the final screening period. Logically speaking, a lot of the potential of the film market should be consumed. .

There are also "My Hometown and Me" and "King Kong River" in the back, which are eyeing the National Day release, pulling the potential of the film market.

It can be said that this time point is not a good schedule at all.

However, the special projection mode of the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet breaks this deadlock abruptly and directly.

The box office revenue of more than 004 billion yuan on the day of its premiere in mainland China directly ignored all factors that are fatal to the traditional physical theater system and achieved brilliant box office results. With this film [], it can be said that Zhang Nan proved something to everyone in the mainland film market on the Longbow Films VR viewing helmet.

That is, in the distribution channels of Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmets, the rules for judging good schedules have changed.

There are no factors such as film scheduling rate, golden screenings, encounters with blockbusters, etc.

For superstars and great directors, you just have to make the movie and make sure the quality is up to standard.

Then there is no need to consider competition with others or factors such as off-peak and peak seasons. Just release the movie and people will watch it because of your box office appeal.

……

Compared with [004]'s further impact on MGM Pictures and the mainland film market environment, Zhang Nan was even more shocked. He seemed to have discovered a loophole in his golden finger.

That is, in order to prevent [004] from losing box office, he directly gave [004] two billion US dollars in box office appeal.

What Zhang Nan is thinking about is that the box office appeal of the two billion dollar Golden Finger, shown on the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet, should be a billion dollar box office figure.

After all, the ticket price on Longbow Cinema’s VR viewing helmet is half that of a traditional brick-and-mortar theater.

The box office data of one billion US dollars is equivalent to the box office data of traditional physical theaters with US$2 billion.

but now--

[004] First-day box office data, global 16.24 billion US dollars.

obviously.

My golden finger applied the box office data of two billion US dollars to the box office data of Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet.

In this way, it can be said that the effect of Zhang Nan's golden finger has been doubled.

You must know that Zhang Nan's current box office appeal is not 100 million or 200 million US dollars, but tens of billions of US dollars.

This doubling will directly allow Zhang Nan to earn double the box office revenue of tens of billions of dollars.

Even more.

Because although Zhang Nan is currently in a stalemate with traditional brick-and-mortar theaters, his new movie projects will also be released simultaneously in traditional brick-and-mortar theaters.

After all, although Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmets took advantage of this wave of global events, they sold hundreds of millions of helmets.

But its popularity is still not as good as that of movie theaters.

And traditional brick-and-mortar theater chains cannot refuse Zhang Nan's movies to be released in their theaters.

Without it.

Life is already difficult, and if we refuse Zhang Nan's blockbuster movie, we will no longer be able to live anymore and will go bankrupt.

"This should be the reward for good people!"

Zhang Nan murmured this conclusion regarding the positive outcome of his golden finger.

In fact, what Zhang Nan said is not wrong.

Because this wave of Zhang Nan’s Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet has really saved many people in Europe and the United States who have brains.
