Chapter 1 he's not here

After the rise of the Chinese market, Hollywood pays more and more attention to it.

It has also become the largest overseas ticket warehouse outside North America. The mainland has indeed saved many Hollywood movies. American movies such as "Alita", "Ready Player One", and "Transformers 5" have even achieved far higher sales in China than in the mainland.

box office results.

But some movies just don’t sell!

The most typical ones are of course the "Hunger Games" series and the "Star Wars" series.

Even the Marvel series has some acclimatization issues, and "Black Panther" is a typical example.

After "Avengers 2", any single Marvel movie can sell more than 700 million in box office in the mainland, and its reputation is very popular.

Only "Black Panther" only had a box office of 600 million, and its reputation was ridiculed!

What types of Hollywood movies does the mainland market prefer?

If it's just cool special effects, it's better to add some real action scenes!

There should be enough freshness!

The golden formula for Hollywood blockbusters is basically inseparable from the four major themes of "magic, science fiction, superheroes, and agents". Of course, there are many failures: "Green Lantern" and the 2015 version of "Fantastic Four", but almost all of them are big sellers.

This kind of subject matter.

From this perspective, "Sherlock Holmes" is just an atypical Hollywood blockbuster, so its impact on the market is a bit small...

The market continued to tumble until "Mission: Impossible 4" was released on the 28th, with a box office of 55 million on the first day...

It's not over yet, "Mission: Impossible" has been released for a week, and "Journey to the Center of the Earth: The Mysterious Island" has been released, earning 40 million at the box office on its first day...

Two movies directly dominate the spring schedule!

Bona, Huayi, and Forbidden City Pictures are almost crying!

Bona has "Truth or Dare", Huayi has "Love", Forbidden City Pictures has invested in Sun Honglei, Li Lianhua's "I Do"...

Including Johnnie To's two works, "The King" and "High Altitude Love 2"...

They are all big productions where stars gather together.

Loss to varying degrees.

Even if the promotion of "Love" focused on the kissing scene between Zhao Youting and Zhao Zhetian, it was useless - during the promotion, the director revealed that Zhao Youting and Zhao Zhetian were too involved in the kissing scene, and the sound of water could be heard very clearly...

If you are busy watching Tom Cruise act cool, who has time to watch you guys kiss?

I originally thought it was just a wave, but after seeing it, I queued up for the screenings of "War Horse", "Alien Battlefield", "Wrath of the Gods", "Battleship"...

Hollywood is really here!



light, conference room.

Li Xiaoping was the first to arrive. After looking around, there was no one there, so she simply took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo...

Lao Wang informed her of the meeting and said it was a very important meeting!

She was a little depressed. She was called over for a meeting out of nowhere without telling her anything. It was a waste of her life.

Fortunately, I didn't wait long before I heard the sounds of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and then Guo Songjiang and Zhao Shan came...

"Why are you here?"

"...something happened..."

"What's the matter that requires you both to come forward at the same time?"

"Chang Lin gave us an order a few days ago..."

Li Xiaoping was surprised: "An order? Not a suggestion?"

Guo Songjiang nodded: "Yes, it's an order!"

"What did he say?"

"Let's wait until Mr. Wang comes over!"

"What is it, so mysterious?"

After a while, Wang Changtian walked in with a thermos cup and greeted happily: "Here he comes!"

"Mr. Wang..."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Wang!"

"You too!"

After the greetings were over, Wang Changtian looked at Guo Songjiang: "Tell me your plan!"

"good!"

Guo Songjiang quickly stood up, clicked on the PPT, leaned forward, and said: "The person who just established Changlin Film and Television in Changlin said that variety shows are a fertile ground and are as important as movies... But we have never had the chance.

He also doesn’t have the funds to create a variety show, so I always thought he had forgotten about it!”

"Last month, he sent me three variety shows. They were from Korea, namely "Infinite Challenge", "Two Days and One Night" and "Running Man". He asked me to check it out... I also made a special investigation

, I discovered that Korean variety shows have considerable influence throughout Asia!”

Li Xiaoping interrupted him: "We are very aware of the influence of Korean variety shows!"

"Love Letter", "X-Man"...

Let's put it this way, Southeast TV's "Happy 100" completely imitated "Love Letter" in many game segments and was once accused of plagiarism. However, "Happy 100" also made Southeast TV famous.

Later, "Happy Camp" also had some game links that were similar to "Love Letter". Although it was also criticized, it also contributed a lot to the popularity of "Happy Camp".

Enlight Media started out by relying on entertainment programs, so of course they understand this very well!

Why don’t you do entertainment programs anymore?

In fact, in 2015, Enlight and Beiguang Media jointly launched a new paid entertainment channel. They originally wanted to build it into Enlight TV, but then there were various policy restrictions...

Simply give up on the market of entertainment programs, including variety shows!

However, this was a matter of time and space, and Guang Guang still has ideas about variety shows now.

Guo Songjiang failed to show off and simply came up with the prepared proposal: "This is our plan."

The PPT displays five words - Reality Show: Running Man!

"Running Man?"

"Yes, we have already contacted South Korea's SBS TV station, and the copyright will be bought out directly. We will create our own reality show according to his model!"

Guo Songjiang talked about the advantages of "Running Man", including preparing to invite an all-star cast and hiring the most professional screenwriters...

"Invite a celebrity? Who to invite?"

"There are 7 permanent guests, four of them are currently scheduled, Deng Chao, Wu Jing, and one is Qiao Shan from "Laughter Conference Room", and the female guest is our company's hottie!"

Li Xiaoping is not very optimistic about this model: "Your company's movies are developing so well and TV series are also very successful. I don't understand why you want to do variety shows. The stall is so big, so you are not afraid of...collapse?"

"Chang Lin thinks there is a way to make money..."

Li Xiaoping frowned: "Where's Chang Lin? I'll ask him what he thinks?"

"He's in Berlin..."

Li Xiaoping then remembered: "Yes, the film festival is not over yet..."

After flipping through the PPT for a while, Wang Changtian looked up, first picked up the thermos cup and took a sip, and then asked: "Did Chang Lin say how much it costs to create such a program?"

Guo Songjiang gritted his teeth: "He said that without 120 million, good results would not be achieved!"

Hearing the price, Wang Changtian smiled: "This price is very reasonable..."

Li Xiaoping was anxious: "Mr. Wang?"

Wang Changtian waved his hand and pointed at the PPT: "... just read this line of text."

It's a line of small print. Guo Songjiang quoted Shen Changlin's original words when making a PPT: "Looking at the development of Korean variety show seasons, it can be concluded that only by constantly providing freshness to the audience can we attract them! Variety show formats should have long ago evolved from indoor

Moved outdoors!'

"I agree with this statement very much. The ratings of the programs we have produced in recent years have never been able to improve, regardless of the invitation..."

"But 120 million is too much..." "How can we do big things without spending money..." Wang Changtian was very decisive: "In this way, you can contact several TV stations to see who has ideas..."
Chapter completed!
