1044. The movie itself is the key

Ali Media acquires the second-ranked Imperial Cinema in the world, which is definitely not something that can be done in a short while.

This shows that Ah Li has been doing this.

In fact, the news spread very early.

But for a long time, everyone thought it was just a rumor.

But after the real news was announced, not to mention anything else, the domestic film and television industry directly exploded with a "boom"!

Although the film market in China is increasingly catching up with the North American film market.

There is even a great hope to surpass the North American market and become the world's largest market.

But Hollywood has been developing for more than a hundred years, but how long has China's films been developed?

The fear of being dominated by Hollywood blockbusters will be difficult to eliminate for a while.

Although money is not omnipotent, in fact, in the business world, many times, having money is awesome.

Why did Ali acquire Xinguang, and Future Technology and Star Technology join forces to acquire Tianfang, and all the film and television giants shout that the wolf is coming?

Why are you afraid of by Rizhao?

Isn’t it because Ah Li has money and Future Star has money?

Of course, not only that, but also because Ali and Future Star are not only rich, but also have various resources.

In this Internet age, this is definitely a huge advantage.

And this is exactly what other giants lack.

Originally, Ali Media’s biggest shortcoming, in addition to the content, actually has one more point, that is, before Shin Kong was acquired, its strength was actually among the major giants and it was not very strong.

Especially in terms of distribution channels, Xinguang is actually the weakest.

Even if it is acquired by Ali Media, it is still the weakest.

But now it is completely different. Ah Li directly acquired the world's second largest theater chain.

Although Imperial Cinemas, due to some restrictions in North America, theaters are heavy assets but low-profit industries, they are strategic weapons.

At least for the Chinese, after Ali acquired the Imperial Cinema, the biggest shortcoming that originally restricted Ali was made up for.

Ali Media has become the largest theater company in the world (Imperial Cinemas Original Shinkwang Cinemas)!

And there is more important.

Why does Lin Husheng have a solemn expression?

Why are you so shocked?

Why are you so vigilant?

Because, as we all know, who doesn’t want to enter North America, the Chinese film and television giants?

That is a larger market than China.

But what's the result?

After so many years, the giants are becoming stronger and stronger, but few of their strategies for the North American market have been successful.

In their opinion, on the one hand, it is cultural estrangement, but more because Hollywood is an extremely exclusive circle.

It can be said that outsiders, let alone China, even British, European movies can't get any benefits when they come to them.

Why?

At least a big part of the reason is that if your movie wants to enter the North American market, first of all, you can't avoid the major Hollywood giants.

Because, they control almost all distribution channels in North America.

It can be said that in the eyes of many people, this is the reason why several Hollywood giants can dominate and almost monopolize the film and television industry.

But now, a breakthrough has been opened.

Yes, in their opinion, the Imperial Cinema changed hands and was still acquired by Ali. Although it was not fully acquired, it was at least controlled.

This is the gap!

If you control the theaters, will the distribution still be a problem?

In fact, Ali's original intention is the same.

In fact, the situation in North America is still very similar to that in some places in China. For example, several giants actually control theaters to a greater or lesser extent.

Get back to the point.

Lin Husheng looked at Wang Yifan with laughter and cry.

Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, seriously, I am not optimistic about Ali's acquisition at all."

"Why?" Lin Husheng was a little puzzled.

"First of all, from the investment level, theater chains in North America are really not a good business. In fact, many theater chains in North America are losing money. Even if they have profits, their profit margins are actually very low." Wang Yifan said.

Lin Husheng naturally couldn't understand nothing like other novices.

"I know this, but theaters have always been an indispensable front-end in the film industry." Lin Husheng nodded and shook his head.

"You can't just look at profits, you have to look at the overall situation, right?"

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "It is true that this is true. The major Hollywood giants all control some theaters in North America to a greater or lesser extent. Because theaters may suffer small losses, but their film business can make a lot of money."

Lin Husheng spread his hands and said, "That's all, then why do you still say you are not optimistic about Ali's acquisition?"

"You know, controlling the Imperial Cinemas is equivalent to Ah Li's distribution channel in North America being opened. Isn't this a good thing?" Lin Husheng asked in confusion.

"The truth is indeed this, but the so-called adaptation to local conditions. In China, Ali is interested in which company, and directly spends money to acquire it. Then, after it is stable, it directly replaces the management and merges the new company into the Ali system to form an increasingly larger ecosystem."

"This is Ali's usual style, but do you think that after Ali acquires Imperial Cinemas, can they do this like in China?" Wang Yifan asked back.

Lin Husheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is naturally impossible. As far as I know, Ali's acquisition of Imperial Cinemas has almost no changes to the management except for the necessary financial arrangements."

"But Ali always controls the Imperial Cinema, is that right? Could it be that the management of those Imperial Cinemas dare not listen to Ali, the controlling party?"

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Of course not. Ali is not a small company, so it is definitely impossible for him to not be able to control this theater."

"However, in China, Ali can be regarded as a rulemaker in some aspects in some ways. However, in North America, even if he controls the Imperial Cinema, it is actually difficult for Ali to make any changes to the Imperial Cinema."

"Everything must be followed by the rules of North American movie distribution."

"But I have always controlled the theaters. At least, in terms of distribution in the future, Ah Li has an advantage that no other domestic giants do, right? That is North America and the world's number one market." Lin Husheng said.

"Is the reason why domestic movies are difficult to sell well in North America really because of the distribution channel?" Wang Yifan asked back.

"Isn't it? At least this is a big reason, right?" Lin Husheng asked back.

"Yes, not!" Wang Yifan shook his head and said.

"North America has always been in commercial and market-oriented. In fact, many domestic movies have been divided by high numbers in Hollywood, but in fact, how many movies are sold? In terms of distribution channels, as long as those giants give money, we can actually use them, but the problem lies in the movie itself."

"And Imperial Cinemas, there is really not much that can be done. Perhaps Ah Li can draw cakes to attract major domestic directors, but when the movie is really released, they will know that nothing has changed!"

"Maybe with Ah Li's interference, having North American distribution channels, there may be less commissions, but as long as the movie cannot be recognized by the market, what do you think Imperial Cinemas can do? The 100,000% for one million is 100,000, and the 30% for one million is only 300,000. What impact can it have?"
