Chapter 1390 Oligarchy thinking
After 15 hours of painting, the news that the first day's box office was 18.5 million US dollars was confirmed, and it immediately made the headlines of North American entertainment news, and the news was also delivered to China at an extremely fast speed.
US$18.5 million not only breaks the single-day box office record of all Chinese-language films in North America, but also breaks the single-day box office record of all foreign-language films in North America! This is definitely the strongest box office result of Chinese-language films in the overseas market!
When the news reached China, it was still in the early morning. After receiving this amazing news, major TV stations and newspapers immediately started working overtime to prepare for the next day's news reports. The TV media began to prepare the materials for morning news. In contrast, the newspapers were very embarrassed. The newspapers had completed the news layout of the day and were now printing in the printing factory. In another hour or two, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of newspapers would be sent from the printing factory to various places. So it is basically impossible to add this news to the newspapers of that day.
News program editors of major radio stations have also begun to sort out news and write press releases overnight, so that they can be broadcast first in traffic broadcasts early tomorrow morning to seize the initiative.
At the same time, Li Mu received the latest news from Lucas excitedly that major theaters in North America have increased the schedule of "Zbie-master" tomorrow, and the total box office of the schedule increased from the original 20 million US dollars to 33 million US dollars. In other words, if the attendance rate tomorrow can reach 90%, you will basically get a single-day box office of 30 million US dollars!
According to the current operation process of Muying ticketing system in North America, theaters must upload the next day's schedule to the official server before 5:30 pm that day. For example, my cinema has 8 screening rooms, and each screening room has 5-6 sessions arranged. I will decide which videos to show in these eight screening rooms in total forty sessions, and then upload this information to Muying ticketing system. Then Muying ticketing system will arrange these screenings to release, and the audience can purchase them.
When the theater company uploads the next day's schedule, the official has a 30-minute confirmation and modification window period. During this period, the theater company can still make adjustments to the arrangements. However, at 6 pm that day, the Muying Ticketing System will lock in the modification permissions, and then launch tomorrow's theater series arrangements, and open seat purchases at the same time. In this case, the theater company can no longer make any changes to the next day's schedule. Once the theater company changes the schedule plan without authorization, resulting in users being unable to watch it after purchasing tickets, the Muying Ticketing System will punish the theater. At the very least, the compensation will be deducted from the to-be-settled ticket payment, and at the worst, the cooperation with the theater company will be directly terminated.
In later China, when the Internet was developing rapidly, theaters could buy movie tickets at least two days in advance, and some could buy tickets three days or even longer. However, the Muying Ticketing System has just started, and there are no competitors on the market, so Li Mu did not have too high requirements for the early purchase period. After these theaters were completely familiar with the operation process of online ticket sales, they would ask them to extend the pre-sale period.
In order to further enhance the box office appeal, Li Mu called Zhao Kang late at night and assigned him a new naval mission.
With his unremitting efforts and training, Zhao Kang's navy has become a super navy team with strong combat effectiveness. This team is not only a low-end online navy, but more importantly, under the instruction of Li Mu, Zhao Kang built a real high-end think tank. More than 20 top students who are well versed in marketing, publicity and user psychology are helping Zhao Kang to provide advice and implementation. With the help of these high-quality talents, Zhao Kang's navy can now easily use any language to promote navy on the Internet of any country. They do not need to understand other languages, but only need to operate according to the step-by-step tutorial.
This time, Li Mu was preparing to let Zhao Kang's navy exaggerate such a story on the Internet. The core of the story was: an arrogant and arrogant fool who looked down on "zbie-master" and missed a huge amount of wealth and was slapped in the face.
Such jokes are popular among the people who are watching melons. For example, some films were once vigorously promoted during the release stage: a certain star missed the opportunity to play a role in a certain movie because of a temporary price increase. Now that the movie is so popular, a certain star must have regretted it to death, right?
Interestingly, when the navy promotes such news, it never explains who a certain star is, so the melon-eating crowds have opened their imaginations. Some people think it is a, some people think it is b, some people think it is c, and there are also a large number of watermen who specialize in setting the rhythm on the Internet. So a large group of melon-eating crowds mock a, b, and c on the Internet, saying that they are blind and ignore others at the beginning, but now others make them unable to stand up...
No matter which country the people who are obsessed with melons, they all like this kind of slap scene. This is true for Chinese netizens, and North American netizens are no exception.
So, this time Li Mu was going to take out the famous Harvey Wei Enstan to touch a porcelain piece. He told Zhao Kang to let his navy make up such a story online:
At the beginning, Li Mu gave "zbie-master" to the famous Hollywood film and television tycoon Harvey Weiensitan, hoping that he could help release ¥ in North America. As a result, Harvey Weiensitan looked down on this movie at all. Before he could watch this movie, he told Li Mu, saying: "Based on my understanding of the North American market, I don't have to watch this movie to tell you that this movie is a piece of shit, and a piece of old shit with a history of more than ten years. North American audiences will definitely not pay for such shit!"
Here, we should highlight the arrogance of Harvey Weienstan. If you don’t even watch the movie, you will be self-righteous and conclude that this movie is not good and that it is shit. Such a pretentious man is the most annoying in any country.
Then, before the story ended, Li Mu lowered his value and asked Harvey Weiensitan to watch the movie before making a decision, but Harvey Weiensitan refused. He said to Li Mu: "I am not as good as you in the Internet, but you are far worse than me in the movie. I said that this movie is not good, but it must not work. Its box office in North America can exceed 10 million US dollars, it is God blind!
So Li Mu had to use ¥ to cooperate with Lucas, and Lucas was responsible for North America distribution. Now, let’s see how popular this movie is! It has won a box office of 18.5 million US dollars less than 24 hours after it was released, and it completely slapped Harvey Weinstan in the face. I believe Harvey Weinstan must be very depressed now? It deserves it! You ignored this movie at the beginning, but now this movie makes you unable to afford it!
After hearing Li Mu's idea, Zhao Kang was shocked for a long time before saying, "I understand, let's arrange someone to prepare."
After saying that, Zhao Kang asked carefully: "But Xiaomu, I want to ask by the way, how did this person named Harvey Weiensitan offend you?"
Li Mu laughed: "He didn't offend me."
Zhao Kang exclaimed: "I didn't offend you, why did you mess with him like this... If this is done, his reputation will be bad, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Kangzi, believe me, this guy is not a good person."
"Is that true?" Zhao Kang asked curiously: "What did this guy do?"
Li Mu said: "This man cheated Chinese directors and film companies in a fancy way, and offered Chinese movies several million US dollars to buy overseas distribution rights. After other competitors withdrew, he immediately turned against him and then bought them at one tenth of the price. Because without the competitors, the copyright holder of the movie could only admit his bad luck and sell the copyright to him at a low price."
"I'm such a bastard!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "This is still light. Let me tell you this. I have a rumor. It is said that this guy violated a lot of Hollywood actresses, but because he has a great influence and greater strength in Hollywood, no one dares to stand up and speak..."
"brute……"
Li Mu said: "So I decided to use him as a blow. Who made him have a great influence in Hollywood? I want to seize some voice in Hollywood in the future. All the oligarchs with such great influence are my targets of attack! Because other oligarchs are not allowed in the fields I am involved in!"
Most of the time, Li Mu concentrates on development and rarely shows his fangs to the outside world, but this does not mean that Li Mu is just a cute newbie who only knows how to work hard and does not have any conspiracy.
He has no grudges with Harvey. If he is reasonable, he should not harm others secretly for his own interests. However, Harvey has no grudges with Chinese films. If he is reasonable, he should not harm Chinese filmmakers one after another for his own interests. The key to the problem is that capital confrontation is never reasonable.
In the years when Baojie and Lianhe Lihua entered China, they almost acquired state-owned daily chemical brands. The immoral competitive methods behind this were numerous. The price war alone forced many local daily chemical brands to death. They used the preferential policies given to foreign capital during investment at that time to squeeze the living space of local brands, and even lowered the retail price to lower than the cost price of similar products of local brands. After dragging local brands into the quagmire, they took the opportunity to acquire them. In this way, they defeated the local brands one by one, and finally formed their own absolute monopoly. In front of them, every local brand that refused to accept the acquisition was constantly suffering from their various things.
There are many more immoral things behind this. For example, when acquiring the local laundry detergent brand "Panda", he promised to vigorously promote the local brand after the acquisition, but immediately hide the brand after the acquisition is completed. The local brand, which was originally very famous in China, disappeared instantly, and the market space it originally occupied was immediately divided by their own products.
Although such things are immoral, they are a true portrayal of capital confrontation. The fundamental of capital confrontation is in the end, four words: kill the opponent. If you want to add a range to these four words, it is: kill all opponents.
Li Mu wants to increase his influence in Hollywood and even become an oligarch in Hollywood. The first thing he does is to kill all the oligarchs in Hollywood at this stage. If he can't even figure out this out, what should he use to be an oligarch?
Li Mu is not a punishment for the sake of heaven, nor is he a simple and kind little boy. He just feels that after jumping abroad, he doesn't have to be so straightforward. On the contrary, he must have enough oligarchical thinking.
