Chapter 456: Box office champion for three consecutive weeks(2/2)
Make copies and then play them in the movie theaters there. In recent years, Mikhail, the general secretary-general of the Soviet Union, has begun to think new. These Hollywood movies are not played as carefully as before. Many movie theaters have begun semi-open
Show unintroduced movies at good times.
"The situation in Latin America is also very good, and copy purchases in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina are also exceeding expectations."
Cannold's deputy, female distribution manager Dolly Bernstine, had also just returned from Latin America.
The response to "Dirty Dancing" there was very good, and many people were very happy that the Americans were able to film Latin dance so well.
However, they like this movie, which is a bit different from American audiences. They feel that the dance of the baby played by Jennifer Gray is too elementary. They prefer Patrick Schwytz and Cynthia Rhodes, a pair of professionals.
of the pas de deux.
Film producers in Latin America even asked for the dancing images of these two to be introduced as the protagonists on posters. They like such diva-type women who can dance well.
"We still ranked first in the box office during the Labor Day weekend, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 30 million." General Manager Eddie Cohen began to introduce the domestic box office situation.
"We are expected to be number one next week, and we won't be interested until next week when 'Famous Attraction' starring Michael Douglas and 'The Pickup Guy' starring Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey Jr.
threaten."
Ronald looked at the box office report and felt very satisfied.
"What am I talking about? In this industry, we can make a lot of money!"
"Hahaha", whether it was the distribution manager who had just returned from Europe or South America, or the general manager who was doing marketing in China, when they heard this sentence, everyone laughed happily regardless of their fatigue.
Ronald was also very happy. He announced the adjournment of the meeting and gave everyone the address of the celebration party in the evening. These people have been working overtime a lot recently, and Ronald specially called Eddie's former magazine model clients to let them relax.
"Eddie, please stay for a moment." Ronald called Eddie Cohen. He still had something to discuss with him.
"How's our videotape business going?"
"The factory is producing inventory. By December, we can take advantage of the popularity of the movie and launch it all at once. Coca-Cola has decided to follow Pepsi's example of sponsoring Top Gun and subsidize us $6 for each video tape. It is their advertisement, and
I need you to take care of it."
"Very good, how is the factory's production capacity now? Is there still room left?"
"Of course, our orders only occupy one-third to normal of their production capacity. If we have other orders or new video tape business, they can double their production capacity. In fact, I think if our
If the business can maintain uninterrupted video tape production, it would be best to acquire a video tape factory ourselves.”
"That's why I came to you, Eddie."
Ronald whispered to his general manager, "I went to Japan, where Diane's film "The Streets of Rage" is still very popular. And in Xiangjiang, there are still some theaters showing pirated copies of 'et Alien'
…”
"Oh yeah?" Eddie hesitated seriously, and his Jewish instinct was aroused.
"In addition, the two movies I found, 'Ecstasy' and 'Hairspray', I think are also very suitable for renting in video rental stores. This kind of movie relies heavily on dance, plot, and makeup.
Watching it on the screen, like 'Top Gun,' seems to be more suitable for the videotape market. What do you think?"
"I think you are right. The reason why many recent movies have not been released on video tapes is actually because they have no confidence in the video tape market. If we can produce and distribute video tapes on a large scale at a suitable price, the factory will continue to operate.
, costs can continue to fall.
And the labor costs in Xiangjiang..."
"This is our next strategy..."
"Don't forget those old movies you made!" Eddie reminded Ronald, whether it was "Fast-paced Richmond High" or "Night of the Comet", they were all suitable for video tape release.
"This matter is carried out quietly, don't tell anyone in the industry." Ronald warned. The video tape market, and profits, are still a rapidly changing and rising market. Whether it is the Big Seven or small and medium-sized studios, it is important for them to
We have only heard about the profits in this area. How exactly should it be done? Everyone is still in the wait-and-see and testing stage. As long as there is a suitable distribution channel and guaranteed production capacity, we can make a profit on this big cake.
