Chapter 1132 is a world of difference
Really no one is willing to take over "Hero" overseas!
If you just watch this movie, the content itself is not attractive enough to Westerners, and the cast is relatively unfamiliar. Except for a few who have a certain influence in Hollywood, other actors are basically unfamiliar to Western audiences and do not have a box office basis.
Although it is a bit famous now, it was a movie named by Li Mu and participated in the movie that stifled Li Mu's innovative products. However, this is the only thing that no one dares to take the copyright of this movie.
yy is already a world-class product, and its users are all over the world. In this case, no one cares about yy's influence. Moreover, the power of Muying ticketing system has shocked and crazy all practitioners in the film and television industry. Everyone hopes that one day Muying ticketing system can log in to the film market in their region. If anyone takes over "Hero", wouldn't it make you feel uncomfortable?
Therefore, even if "Hero" has a certain profit margin, there is absolutely no industry company willing to bet on the price of offending Muye Technology, Muye Image, and Li Mu to operate this video.
The cruel reality has caused the producers of "Hero" to fall into despair. The current situation is that their films cannot be sold overseas copyrights. Without overseas companies and theater cooperation, it will naturally be impossible to release overseas. Therefore, overseas box office is basically a delusion. In addition, overseas DVDs have also become a bubble. Without the cooperation of distribution companies, it is completely impossible for the producers of "Hero" to legally issue and sell even a DVD in any country.
It is basically a foregone conclusion to lose money!
At the team meeting, many people burst into tears. They were originally planning to use this movie to create a big name, but they did not expect that they would be defeated and there was no room for anything. This movie suffered a Waterloo in all fields and became the most money-losing movie in the history of Chinese commercial films...
This kind of blow that was like a sky falling is a devastating blow to the entire "Hero" production team. Everyone became extremely depressed in an instant. If the movie was screwed up, their next path would be much harder, from director to producer to screenwriter to actor, and then to producers, their reputation and reputation will be greatly affected.
Director Zhang then realized that Li Mu played a Go game for "Hero", and directly trapped the entire "Hero" in his game, making "Hero" unable to break through this shackles without any effort. He could only be bound in a cage by him, and he had no chance to survive.
At this time, Li Mu did not know what kind of outcome "Hero" would face and what kind of losses he would bear. He had always adhered to the legitimate competition, not attacking the other party, nor slandering the other party's non-contact competition, but the "Hero" team secretly made trouble for him and had not wiped his butt cleaned his butt, so he could catch the handle. Then he couldn't blame himself for not leaving him a way out!
With the infinite loneliness of "Hero", in a strong contrast to it, "Those Years" as a campus clear stream continues to nourish the hearts of every audience, and the box office is constantly setting new records.
Since the day it was released, the box office of "Those Years" has been surging rapidly. After breaking through the 300 million yuan mark, it continued to rush upwards, without any momentum to stop. Now it is almost reaching 400 million, which has shocked the whole country.
Interestingly, many viewers who were unwilling to spend money to enter the cinema were forced to enter the cinema because they had been waiting for the pirated disk of "Those Years" and found that they could not buy it no matter how hard they were.
Not only this group of users, most people cannot buy pirated discs of the movie "Those Years" in the pirated disc market. Although many people go to various pirated audio and video stores and stalls every day to inquire, hoping to buy the "Those Years" discs, even if they are pirated versions, most pirated sellers can only say to customers who come to their door: "Sorry, there is no "Those Years".
Shortly after "Those Years" was released, pirated merchants did make a fortune by making a small fortune. The pirated disc originally cost five yuan per picture. Because the movie was popular, the selling price of "Those Years" was still in short supply. There were even some shop owners who specialized in renting discs to buy more than 20 copies in one go, and they could rent them all clean every day. Other movie discs were one yuan a day, but only two yuan a day, which was still empty.
However, such a good life has not been around for a few days.
When the box office of the movie "Those Years" exceeded 100 million, local industrial and commercial departments received an order to comprehensively crack down on pirated products related to "Those Years".
The relevant departments know Li Mu's influence. His first big movie was released. If he was really pirated, he would suffer heavy losses. What if Li Mu attacked the industrial and commercial department in front of the media? Who will fight against this big bag? Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to make a special action below and fight all the pirated products related to "Those Years", and naturally there will be no remaining risks.
This made the pirated hawkers suffer, and the industry and commerce did not care about it at all. Unexpectedly, now the industry and commerce and urban management are inspecting each other. When they see the pirated discs selling "Those Years", they catch all the discs, which makes the pirated merchants panic.
The most annoying thing is that when the pirated merchants began to deliberately avoid the industrial and commercial city management, the industrial and commercial and urban management began plain clothes law enforcement, saying that it was plain clothes law enforcement, but in fact it was more like fishing law enforcement. It usually sent some young girls to the pirated vendors in plain clothes, and asked harmlessly: "Boss, do you have the "Those Years" plate?"
As long as the boss says there is one, he will take out the plate, and immediately a large number of plainclothes law enforcement industrial and commercial and urban management companies will emerge from all directions, copying all the discs. If the vendor does not cooperate, he will directly send them to the police station for three days of administrative detention.
After doing this, almost all pirated vendors have lost their sternly in "Those Years", and some have even lost more than once.
After several times, pirated merchants from all over the country basically did not dare to sell "Those Years". Although the market demand was extremely strong, they still did not dare to purchase goods, and they did not dare to go out to sell. This made pirated CD producers suffer. These people kept pulling equipment around the country to produce pirated discs all over the country. When they met popular movies and popular albums, they immediately opened their power. They wished they could use 200% of their production capacity to produce wildly and make a big profit, but this time they really hit the wall.
A businessman who started to manufacture pirated discs in a rural area in Guangdong Province is worried about the hundreds of thousands of CDs from "Those Years" in his warehouse.
The source of films used by his CDs is the best stolen version on the market, with high brightness, good colors, stable pictures, and the most valuable thing is that the people in the theaters were of high quality when the stolen recording were recorded, no one was making noise, and no children cried. So the businessman bought a copy for a high price of 20,000 yuan, and after he came back, he worked hard to produce the plate.
At the beginning, the 30,000 pieces were sold out by the distributor below. When he saw that the profit was too great, he increased his horsepower without hesitation and produced 200,000 pieces in one go. However, half of the 200,000 pieces were immediately returned by the distributor, which made him confused.
This is the best-selling market on the market! Why did you all return it to me?
Distributors expressed their opinions: "Brother, this plate is easy to sell, but it is easy to get into trouble! Many distributors even brought their mother's nest because of reselling the pirated plates of this movie and went in. We want to make money, but we don't want to go to prison."
"Oh my God, you didn't feel so scared when you sold Japanese movies in previous years! Are there any ghosts in "Those Years"?"
Although the pirates are puzzled, they can only break their teeth and swallow them in the stomach when facing this situation. At the same time, they can accept all returns. There is no way. They will have to rely on these distributors to make money in the future. If they annoy them this time, the CDs produced in the future will have to be sold on the street.
After such a thing happened a few times, the entire piracy industry chain has a clear purpose. If you think about it, don’t touch "Those Years"...
Not only is the pirated disk production and sales industry chain affected, but even the pirated disk rental business has received strong control from industry and commerce and urban management. Any disc rental store with "Those Years" confiscated the discs for the first time and closed the doors for the second time.
Unlike those pirated vendors who sell in street stalls, disc rental has a fixed store and cannot be used. Therefore, when the industry and commerce and urban management teamed up, they immediately admitted their conscience. No one dared to rent "Those Years" again.
It is precisely because of such a powerful piracy crackdown that the box office growth momentum of "Those Years" can achieve an effect that cannot be stopped at all.
The box office of nearly 400 million yuan is definitely the first time for Chinese commercial films, and this number has shocked the industry too much. Before this, no one dared to imagine that the box office of a movie could exceed 200 million, and 300 million yuan may even exceed 400 million. They originally thought that Chinese users did not like to spend money to watch movies, but unexpectedly, Li Mu had his own way to let these users flock to the cinema.
The media has been following up and reporting on the box office miracle of "Those Years". Film critics began to guess what level the final box office of the movie could reach. While industry insiders watched the tragic death of "Hero", they secretly vowed not to fight against Li Mu in the future. While thinking that since campus youth-type movies are so marketable, why don't they shoot more?
So, in late December 2002, many film and television companies began to launch projects and prepare to invest in a campus youth romance drama, and some of them had even started filming fast.
Just when the box office reached 900 million in those years and was about to exceed 400 million, Li Mu suddenly received news that the famous Hollywood Harvey actually came to China and was waiting to meet Li Mu in Yanjing.
Li Mu had a little hearing about Harvey and knew that this was a scumbag in the industry who looked like a Chinese person and had a very bad character. He traveled far away to China and wanted to see himself. He probably came for the Muying ticketing system...
