The situation in China is different from that in other countries. In addition to the reputation of the movie itself, because the China Space Administration appears more frequently in the movie and has a more positive image, "The Martian" soon became a movie that was booked by various domestic units.
Less than two weeks after its release, the box office of "The Martian" in China exceeded 200 million yuan, and the momentum behind it has not slowed down much, and it continues to hit higher box office.
The box office of "Titanic" released the year before last in China was 360 million yuan. According to the current situation, "The Martian" should not have a big problem in surpassing "Titanic" at the Chinese box office.
Compared with "Titanic", "The Martian" has several advantages.
First, "The Martian" was released simultaneously in China and North America, which is a gimmick in itself. It is also the first Hollywood blockbuster in China to be released simultaneously. Many people don't pay attention to science fiction movies at all, just for this gimmick.
Went into the cinema.
Second, the original work of "The Martian" is very famous and has a better audience base than "Titanic".
Third, there are Chinese elements in "The Martian".
Fourth, compared to two years ago, the number of screens in mainland China has increased significantly and improved.
The first three points are all subjective factors, while the fourth point is also an objective factor. The number of screens has a great impact on the box office. Originally, due to the limitation of the number of screens, some movies missed a lot of box office.
Two years ago, there were less than 2,000 screens in mainland China, but now this number has grown to more than 2,500, an increase of nearly 30% compared to two years ago.
The growth in the number of screens is related to economic development on the one hand and the popularization of domestic cinema culture on the other.
When VCDs became popular, movie theaters were originally going to be lonely, but they still achieved reverse growth in the past two years. This also has something to do with the Deep Space Company.
Deep Space Company used Jinling as a pilot city a few years ago to transform the screening effects of various theaters.
With the upgrade of various theaters, audiences have discovered that although watching movies on VCD is very convenient, watching movies in a theater is still different.
Of course, what Deep Space Company can do is provide assistance. The most important thing is that the cinema chain’s policies have been implemented.
With the reform of the cinema chain system, cinemas have also developed rapidly, and each cinema has begun to gain momentum. Otherwise, even if Shen Kong took the initiative to upgrade their cinemas, no one would be willing.
Due to the reform of the theater chain system, competition in the industry has become stronger. Some people want to enter the theater, while others are afraid of being eliminated. At this time, of course everyone agrees that their own cinemas have better screening effects and can attract more audiences.
Because of these reasons, "The Martian" performed better than "Titanic" from the beginning.
…
When Yu Dong returned to Jinling from the United States, it was already 2001. Deep Space Company held a New Year's Eve event in New York, and Yu Dong and the others participated together.
As soon as he returned to Jinling, before his luggage was packed, the investigation report on the rumors spread by the tribe leader about "taking you to see the world" was delivered to him.
The investigation report shows that "Take You to See the World" does not have any direct contact with Huayi Brothers or foreign forces, but this matter is related to Huayi Brothers.
Between Huayi Brothers and "Take You to See the World", there is an advertising planning company called "Literary Baichuang".
This "Literary and Art Hundreds" company is nominally an advertising company, and its main business is advertising planning and online marketing. In fact, it is a navy business.
Literary Baichuang was founded more than a year ago, but the company's business is developing quite well. According to the investigation, there have been several network incidents in the past two years that have been linked to this company.
They have contacts with many tribal leaders. If they receive some orders, they will contact the tribal leaders who cooperate with them as soon as possible and spread the news they want to spread through these tribal leaders.
The situation this time was the same. Huayi Brothers first found Literary and Art Baichuang Company and handed over the task to them. Literary and Art Baichuang Company then found "Take You to See the World" after receiving the order from Huayi Brothers.
The task of "Take You to See the World" is very simple. You only need to post the copy written by Literary Baichuang Company to the website. After that, Literary Baichuang Company will gather an online army to build momentum for "Take You to See the World".
This report is very detailed, with a total of 56 pages of A4 paper, and even lists some accounts that are definitely trolls.
After reading the report, Yu Dong sighed slightly. He knew that there must be a navy, but he did not expect that the navy today is so formal and has formed a complete industrial chain.
It seems that the emergence of Deep Space Company has not only driven the domestic Internet industry, but also driven the development of the navy industry.
If Deep Space Corporation does not take control and this situation continues, the domestic Internet environment will be very bad in the next few years, because then people will find that they can make a lot of money by spreading rumors and causing trouble on the Internet.
Many companies will also find that instead of spending time and money to promote themselves positively, it is better to directly discredit their opponents. As long as their opponents fail, they will win.
It is too easy to discredit your opponents. As long as you spend a small amount of money to hire a navy army, you can quickly achieve the goal of attacking your opponents. And compared to other industries, the entertainment industry will be the hardest hit area. After all, the entertainment industry now relies on reputation.
Ordinary rumors can ruin an artist.
This time, Literary Creative Company asked "Take You to See the World" to help them publish articles, and only paid "Take You to See the World" a fee of 10,000 yuan. It is not clear how much other trolls spent. However,
It's definitely not too much. It only adds up to tens of thousands of yuan at most. This shows how low the cost of attacking the opponent is. It's a typical example of spending a small amount of money to do "big things".
It was only because the target of their rumors was the Deep Space Company and the Deep Space Tribe that the matter was suppressed so quickly without causing any substantial impact.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it were another small company or an artist with no background, he would only be able to watch the rumors spread, even if he broke his throat and tried to defend himself, he would not get up.
to any effect.
After thinking about the information in his hand for a moment, Yu Dong dialed Yiliu's phone number.
The call was quickly connected, and the person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Boss, what are your orders when you just came back?"
"I have read the investigation report you sent over. Apart from this literary and art company, are there any other malicious companies?"
"Of course, this industry is very profitable now, and the demand is constantly increasing. It can be said to be a sunrise industry." When he mentioned the word sunrise industry, Yuliang couldn't help laughing, "Ahem, this industry is anyway. Now it is being targeted by many people. With such a big market, just one literary and art company will definitely not be able to complete it. The most important thing is that this kind of company has little technical content. Anyone can set up one and find a few people to train them casually. You can get started with training. However, other companies have basically just started and their development is relatively average. Unlike the company Linyi Baichuang, it was established relatively early and has a relatively high reputation in the industry."
Yu Dong said disdainfully, "They have the nerve to openly spread such scandalous things in the industry."
"Yes, they also have several Dongdong groups, some of which are business groups, specially used for receiving business, and there are many customers in the groups. There are also some technical exchange groups, where they usually exchange their experiences in this regard. Huayi Brothers came into contact with Baichuang in the Dongdong group, and then contacted them privately. This information is included in the information given to you."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I can't read fifty or sixty pages of information page by page. However, Huayi Brothers are quite brave. They dare to contact Literary Baichuang on Dongdong. They are not afraid of us. Found it."
"Haha, they may not understand either. They think that with so much information on Dongdong every day, it is impossible for us to find news about them. Moreover, they all use trumpet accounts. They probably think that we cannot find out that it is their trumpet account. But they What we don’t know is that it’s easy for us to find chat records in this area, and we don’t know that we can find their trumpet account through IP. The key is that it is very troublesome to contact them without using Dongdong or 163 email, so even if we know There may be trouble, but I don’t want to be in trouble.”
Yu Dong also smiled. It was easy for Deep Space Company to monitor this information, but it was just that they would not use this information unless they encountered anything special.
"Boss, do you want to clean up this literary creation?" Yuliang asked again.
Yu Dong shook his head and said, "You don't need to touch them for the time being, but you need to keep an eye on them and collect everything they have done. The same goes for other naval companies. They also need to keep an eye on them. In addition, Huayi Brothers, keep an eye on them." Check out all your recent plans for me, whether they are big events or small events, they must be complete."
"Well, we are actually already discussing this matter. I will have someone send the information to you later."
Yu Dong nodded, he was considerate when doing things with his spare time, and he could always get things done ahead.
"Pick up some plans that are more important to them and create some obstacles for them. If they play dirty tricks, we can't be too aboveboard."
Yu Liang smiled and said, "There is really one thing that has something to do with us. They got a script from a young director, and this script was adapted from Fan Yiping's "Looking for a Gun". Fan Yiping has signed a contract with our deep space. He
We represent all the works of
Serenity can star in this movie."
Yu Dong said with a smile, "This Huayi Brothers is really thick-skinned. On the one hand, he is secretly looking for people to mess with us, and on the other hand, he comes to us to ask for film and television adaptation rights and people."
"Then we pushed this matter aside?" Yu Liang asked.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "There's no need to push it all. Don't let Ning Jing let her go. But the script will still be sold, but the price will definitely be higher."
"How much is appropriate?"
Yu Dong thought for a while and said a number, "One hundred thousand."
The margin is staggering. The figure of 100,000 is really an exaggeration.
"Looking for a Gun" is a short story of more than 20,000 words. Under normal circumstances, the adaptation fee is only more than 10,000 yuan. The price charged by Deep Space is higher than others, but it is only 20 to 30% higher at most. It can be sold.
Twenty thousand is considered good.
"Boss, you don't want to sell to them?" Yuliang asked.
"I don't think so. I want to get a good price for this novel. I think the price of 100,000 yuan is pretty good. You think they won't give it to us if we ask for 100,000 yuan, right?"
"Hey, I think so. Huayi can't spend so much money on a young director, and Fan Yiping is also a young writer."
After saying the words "young writer", Yuliang paused. He remembered that Fan Yiping seemed to be in his mid-thirties this year, and was older than their boss.
However, Fan Yiping started relatively late and only entered the literary world within a few years, so I feel that he is young.
After a slight pause, Yuliang continued, "I guess they won't spend too much of their budget on the script, otherwise they won't have the money to hire stars. Since they asked for Ning Jing, they should be thinking of hiring Ning Jing.
effort."
"Since I can buy Jingjing with money, I can't afford to spend 100,000."
"That's true. Then I'll tell Huayi Brothers that it's one hundred thousand, not even a dime less."
"Well, that's it."
…
That afternoon, Wang Zhongjun was watching the news of "The Martian" when his assistant knocked on the door and entered the office.
"Mr. Wang, someone from Deep Space Company called just now and clarified the price of the rights fee for the film and television adaptation of "The Gun Hunt"."
Wang Zhongjun raised his head and smiled, "How much do you want? Twenty thousand or thirty thousand?"
"The other party said it would cost 100,000 yuan, and they wouldn't discuss anything less."
Wang Zhongjun was stunned and couldn't believe it, "Are you sure they want 100,000, not 40,000?"
His assistant's pronunciation with a flat and raised tongue is a bit unstandard, and there is indeed a possibility that he pronounces four as ten.
The assistant put his index fingers together and made a sign of ten, "One hundred thousand, I also confirmed it over the phone."
After confirming that it was 100,000 and not 40,000, Wang Zhongjun crouched with his fists. He did not expect that deep space would be so open-mouthed.
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out behind Wang Zhongjun's back. Could it be that the Deep Space Company already knew that they were responsible for "showing you the world" and deliberately set a high price for revenge?
But after thinking about it, Wang Zhongjun felt that it was impossible. They did not have direct contact with "Take You to See the World", and the accounts connected with Literary Baichuang were all small accounts.
Besides, if Deep Space Company really knew that this matter was instigated by Huayi, how could it be as simple as asking for a high price? I'm afraid they would have been sanctioned long ago.
It is easy for Deep Space Company to sanction them. All they need to do is discuss it with China Film Group, and they will be guaranteed not to be able to make movies in the future.
