Chapter 1825 Broadcast Royalties

Regarding the first "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival", Lin Feng and Ellison's consensus is that it must surpass the Oscar. Otherwise, there is no point in holding this film festival. And if you want to surpass the Oscar, first of all, in terms of the stars who appear, you must

Overwhelming the Oscar. Secondly, the layout of the entire venue is better than the Oscar. And the quality of the selected movies is even better than the Oscar.

As long as these three points are done well, it will definitely surpass the Oscar.

"Lin, you are more familiar with celebrities than I am, so I will leave it to you to contact me. I am good at venue decoration, so leave it to me. As for movies, I believe our movie sources will not be worse than Oscar."

Ellison said confidently.

"Well, that's it." Lin Feng fist bumped with Ellison.

In the following days, Lin Feng began to contact many stars to confirm their attendance at his film festival, while Ellison began to decorate the venue of the recently completed Lin Feng Film and Art Festival.

Half a month later, Ellison is making rapid progress, while Lin Feng is making slow progress. Most Hollywood stars will attend the Academy Awards ceremony. After all, Oscars are deeply rooted in the United States, and most of these stars are instinctively

The choice is willing to go to the Oscars to watch the ceremony. As for Lin Feng’s Film Art Festival, that is naturally his second choice, or even not. Although the film actors participating this time are enough to fill the venue, there are not enough big names, and in the end

Almost all famous people go to the Oscars, which is not okay.

"Lin, what are you going to do?" Jessica asked anxiously.

Originally, she was filming "Fantastic Four" to participate in the Lam Fung Film and Art Festival to help boost its reputation. However, the film had too many computer stunts, which delayed it a bit. It won't be released until March.

.

"Hmph, Oscar clearly wants to embarrass me this time. But it doesn't matter, as long as "Fast and Furious 3: Chariot" can be released smoothly." Lin Feng snorted coldly.

As long as "Fast and Furious 3: Chariot" can be released, then the Lam Fung Film and Art Festival will have absolute big names - Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are absolute big names, and then Schumacher will appear again

, which is enough to cause fans to scream wildly.

Of course, this alone is not enough to overwhelm the Oscars. After all, Hollywood superstars like Tom Cruise have long been snared by the Oscar organizing committee, which will definitely not leave any trouble for Lin Feng. However,

There are no big stars, but what about the old stars?——Lin Feng’s eyes flashed coldly.

In the days that followed, Lin Feng no longer contacted celebrities as before. Instead, he leisurely visited Orlando Disneyland with Avril Lavigne, Jessica, Li Zhiyou, Huang Meixi and others who came from Shanghai.

"What on earth is he thinking? Doesn't he want to overwhelm the Oscars?" - Deyuki Ibuka, vice president of Sony Columbia Pictures, secretly guessed.

Since Lin Feng arrived in Los Angeles, the Oscar Organizing Committee has hired private detectives to monitor Lin Feng's every move 24 hours a day. This dispute between the Oscars and the Lin Feng Film and Arts Festival is absolutely unacceptable for the Oscar Organizing Committee.

Lose. The Oscars have been held for 76 years, and this year is the 77th. It would be a shame for a long-standing film festival with a history of 77 years to lose to the film festival that was just held.

As the major giants of the Oscar organizing committee, Sony Columbia, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, etc. will never allow such a thing to happen. In terms of stars, they have recruited almost all the Hollywood superstars they can.

, to attack Lin Feng fundamentally. After all, if the stars attending the film festival are not big enough, then we will lose.

As for movie sources, although Lin Feng once created a feat of shooting one movie a week and 20 movies in a row, there are not many truly excellent movies. In 2004, although there were not many blockbusters, "

The release of "Spider-Man 2" is enough to impact this year's Oscars for best visuals, best stunts and other awards. The other awards such as best actor and best film are also led by the popular movie "Million Dollar Baby". It can be said that the Oscar group

The committee is sure to win this year.

As long as the "Lam Fung Film and Art Festival" can be defeated this year, not only will Lin Feng become a big joke, but this "Lam Fung Film and Art Festival" will also become a historical laughing stock forever. Previously, Lin Feng forced Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi to...

The shame of having to resign to delay will also be wiped away.

Time flies by, and February 28th is here soon. In the meantime, "Fast and Furious 3: Chariot" was finally released successfully. In just one week after its release, it took away an astonishing box office of 100 million U.S. dollars, and

This is only the U.S. box office. "Fast and Furious 3: Chariot" was released simultaneously around the world. In this week, the U.S. box office revenue was 100 million U.S. dollars, Europe's revenue was also 100 million U.S. dollars, and the Asian countries combined also had 100 million U.S. dollars.

US dollars. South America and Africa are a little less, but including Oceania, these three continents add up to almost 100 million US dollars.

In one week, "The Fast and the Furious" grossed US$400 million at the global box office. This box office revenue shocked film critics around the world. You must know that although the first two "Fast and Furious" movies had good box office,

But it has just exceeded 100 million US dollars, but this third film has exceeded 400 million US dollars in the first week, not only surpassing the box office revenue of all movies in 2004, but also breaking the weekly box office revenue of all movies in history.

"Baga! How could this happen? Why did this happen!" - "Sony Columbia" Vice President Ibuka Ibuka smashed all the office supplies in the office.

Originally, in this film festival competition, the outside world believed that the Oscars were certain to win. After all, the most important thing in the competition between the two major film festivals is the quality of the films. Although the films selected at the "Lin Feng Film Art Festival" are many excellent,

But obviously there are no blockbusters with real box office appeal and dominance. But now with the release of "Fast and Furious 3: Chariot Gods", everything has changed.

The global box office in the first week exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars. With the exception of "Titanic", no other movie can match such a strong box office. And "Titanic" earned a full ten

An Oscar. Although "Fast and Furious 3: Chariot" is not participating in the Oscars this time, I believe it is not surprising that it won more than a dozen awards in the end.

In comparison, there is no movie with such great appeal at this year's Oscars. The best one is "Million Dollar Baby". Comparing the two, the Lam Fung Film and Arts Festival's evaluation is not to say higher than that of the Oscars, but at least it is equally divided.

.

Of course, this is only a theoretical tie. In fact, if the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival" receives less attention and not many people pay attention, then its influence will be small. Never mind that "Fast and Furious 3" has

How outstanding it is, the Lam Fung Film and Arts Festival cannot beat the Oscars.

"The broadcast rights will be broadcast to ABC TV station at last year's price." After emergency negotiations, the Oscar organizing committee, under the pressure of "Fast and Furious 3", did not increase the price of the broadcast rights for the first time. You must know that in the past

, the Academy Awards broadcast rights fees increase at a rate of about 5% every year. This is the first time there has been no price increase.

As for the Academy Awards organizing committee not to raise the price, ABC TV station, as the anchor, will naturally accept it one by one. Otherwise, it will really be unbearable if the broadcast rights continue to increase like this every year. Even if ABC is so wealthy, it will not be able to bear it.

The Oscars have ABC, so what does the Lin Feng Film and Arts Festival have? - The first choice is naturally Lin Feng's own "fsn-houston" TV station.

Originally, the "fsn-houston" TV station was just a little-known local TV station in Houston. However, with Lin Feng taking over, the soaring of the Houston Rockets, and the popularity of "Prison Break", "fsn-houston" has become the most popular one in the United States.

TV station. Of course, its reputation is currently not comparable to that of established TV stations such as "ABC" and "Fox".

However, Lin Feng believes that with the popularity of the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival", his "fsn-houston" will become one of the most famous TV stations in the United States. Of course, in order to gain popularity, this time "fsn-houston" will be enough

A total of US$50 million was spent to purchase the broadcast rights for the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival", which exceeded the Oscar broadcast rights by a full US$30 million.

***!——The Oscar Organizing Committee heard the news and hurled curse words on the spot. In order to suppress the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival", they did not increase the price for the first time. As a result, Lin Feng was better off and actually sold more than them.

They offered a total of 20 million US dollars in broadcast rights, which is too bullying.

Of course, Lin Feng's "fsn-houston" offered 50 million US dollars to Lin Feng, which meant that Lin Feng gave his left hand to his right hand. But this is too shameless and too bullying!

At this moment, the Oscar organizing committee really wanted to call "ABC" and tell them if they could raise the price. After all, the Oscars and the Lam Fung Film and Arts Festival were in a state of competition, and they were outgunned in terms of broadcast rights. This was really

Oscar was a bit embarrassed. Although it had nothing to do with the overall situation, it was not a good sign that he was overwhelmed by Lin Feng from the very beginning.

However, in the end, the Oscar Organizing Committee did not call "ABC" to discuss the price increase. After all, the contract has been signed. If the price increases again, then... the outside world will call it greedy.

Lin Feng, we'll see!
