Chapter 152 Miss Sister
How did the US establish a global issuance mechanism back then?
Not all countries are welcome to American movies!
They come in stages, bit by bit.
The market in the first stage is closed;
The second stage of the market is open with Hollywood operation;
The third stage is that the market has been opened by Hollywood or has completed its occupation and entered the consolidation stage.
In the closed market, Hollywood giants have a "trump card" move. This trick is to "stoo acquiesce piracy". These piracy will flow into unopened and semi-open areas through underground channels, thereby slowly cultivating the consumption habits of local people.
After completing the familiar stage, we will enter the next stage of "pressure".
During this stage, the American Film Export Association serves as the main force, and the association will put constant pressure on the unopened market.
For example, the "WTO-related Agreement" has changed the "film industry is a cultural issue" to "entertainment supplies"...
Holding high the name of the freedom agreement, forcibly opening up markets in other countries...
The problem is that this agreement was formulated by himself, and he has the right to modify the rules...
Only when the United States' industries dominate, they emphasize the free market.
When the U.S. industry is at a disadvantage, they immediately began to emphasize national security...
OK, enter the second stage, at this stage, Hollywood tries to avoid releasing typical American cultural movies, but prefers to release action movies, adventure movies, and even thrillers and horror movies: "Die Hard", "Alien", "Horror Corner", "Pretty Warrior", etc.;
When the market opened and entered the third stage, Hollywood films began to diversify their distribution and even included many political propaganda films that praised the ideals of the United States: "The Ambition of the Earth", "Hunting the Red October", etc.
Finally, Hollywood will specialize in producing a batch of movies with very small circulation but high artistic value: "The Wage of Death", "The Mysterious River", "The Rising Sun", "Lost Tokyo", "The Groundhog Day", etc.
These high-art quality films are specially used to be presented to the International Film Festival to further increase the popularity of Hollywood films in the world and increase the international sound of Hollywood films.
Mengxi Media wants to establish an overseas distribution mechanism, but the first step is not to do it - to acquiesce piracy?
It means you will lose several years!
Forget it, wait until the Belt and Road Initiative is implemented, and cooperate with the Belt and Road Initiative to publish Chinese movies locally...
It is still too difficult for movies to be protected from politics!
...
At 5 pm, the plane landed at the Mundelier Airport in Cannes...
Cannes is a small town with only one Mundelier Airport, which is not open to the public, and customers usually have private jets.
The previous few times, when Liu Yifei and the others came to Cannes, they had to land at Paris Airport first, then transfer to Nice, and then charter a car to Cannes at Nice Airport...
This time the company directly chartered the flight.
Many people have come, except for the main actors of "The Great Wall", such as Da Tiantian, Uncle Long, Hu Ge, and Guo Jingfei...
And Liu Yifei, Yang Xiaomi...
They are brand spokespersons and were invited to help with the platform.
There are also a dozen business staff accompanying you - come here to sell movies and buy movies...
In recent years, except for some big productions, Mengxi's movies have rarely considered exports. Even if there are exports, they will negotiate with local big film manufacturers in advance.
Therefore, when business people come this time, they basically buy movies - buying some batches of movies, which are the best to be released, but not to be released, so they should be used to supplement the source of the movie for Tudou Video!
Chen Mengxi came to Mangdelier Airport Airport specifically. He originally planned to pick up the young lady and arrange a residence for Yang Xiaomi and the others.
Then, I was a little surprised to see a plump woman following her sister...
Zhang Yuqi?
Why did she come to Cannes?
It must be said that Zhang Yuqi has not been exercising crazy during this period, and the two pieces of meat on her chest can kill people!
It is said that she debuted because she looks like Song Hye Kyo...
Dare you believe it?
Hurry up and cleared up your thoughts, Chen Mengxi hugged the young lady who rushed over...
"Why are you so happy?"
"…I'm happy to see you!"
"Do you think I don't know? Did "Left Ear" break 500 million?"
"hey-hey…"
The young lady smiled proudly...
It's really worthy of satisfaction.
The cost of "Left Ear" is 28 million, plus promotion and promotion, 35 million.
Liu Yifei and Su Lun invested 10 million, accounting for one-third of the cost!
The box office exceeded 500 million - it has not been released yet. According to Maoyan's estimate, the final box office will be at least 600 million!
The young ladies and the others made at least 70 million yuan!
An investment caught up with Huayi's profits throughout the year last year...
A genius producer!
He clicked her nose, Chen Mengxi let go of her hand, greeted the person behind him, the focus was on Uncle Long...
The premiere of "The Great Wall" tomorrow, and it will be entirely up to Uncle Long to support the scene!
...
After settling down, Chen Mengxi sat down, and the young lady pushed him down...
"What do you want to do?"
He said in horror, his expression was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
The young lady took off her coat, then unbuttoned her shirt, and asked back, "What do you think I want to do?"
Chen Mengxi also returned to justice: "...Don't you need to make the jet lag?"
"It's okay, it won't affect it!"
After saying this, Chen Mengxi immediately turned against her and raised her up...
Two months of exercise really work, one hundred pounds can be lifted at any time...
As the saying goes, the strong wind sweeps away fallen leaves, and the rain blows away banana leaves!
After the matter was over, the young lady sniffed: "Open the window!"
"…OK!"
Chen Mengxi opened the window and saw the Cannes sea breeze...
A little salty, but not that salty!
fine.
“…Don’t you have to worry about it tomorrow?”
"It's been arranged long ago, and everyone on the jury will go to watch the movie."
By the way, I added: "It's a pity to "Carol"!"
"ah?"
“…You will know after two days when you see "Adele's Life"!”
“Life of Adele?”
"A homosexual movie, the things you make are not as good as "Carol", but they are in line with the trend of LGBT..."
The young lady instantly understood: "Is this the general trend you are talking about?"
Chen Mengxi nodded: "Right..."
"Carol" is indeed a pity, it completely beats "Adele" in terms of quality...
But "Adele" will definitely win the Palme d'Or!
"Adele's Life" is extremely close to reality, and even the bed scenes are not cut into much footage... It is a complete documentary!
So, Chen Mengxi doesn’t like it!
If you don’t even switch lenses, then just make a documentary?
In contrast, "Carol" is more artistic and beautiful, with a source of life but a form of expression higher than life.
Since last year, LGBT movement has become a trend, and a large number of such works have emerged...
"Adele's Life" is right at the right time - France has just announced that homosexuality is legal...
"Carol" is not so lucky.
"By the way, why did you come with Zhang Yuqi?"
"…She knows Lu Xiaoran, please get on the plane with him!"
"who?"
"…Lu Xiaoran, what's wrong?"
Chapter completed!
