Chapter 384 Questionnaire Survey

Hollywood is not just a Hollywood that belongs to the entertainment industry. Even most famous Hollywood people don’t like the federal government very much. There are often some liberal voices, but they cannot change its important role in the US globalization strategy.

Big productions from Hollywood not only create huge economic benefits, but also spread American mainstream values ​​to the world, which is almost the whole world knows.

In the bilateral negotiations between China and the United States on the World Trade Agreement, film and television products from Hollywood are also part of the important issues that cannot be ignored, especially the number and schedule of films introduced, which has become one of the most prominent differences between the two sides.

Behind this, you can see the shadow of Hollywood's big groups. No one is a fool. "Titanic" has achieved great success here and even caused a sensation. Although the profits are limited, since the day of Hollywood's rise, these big groups have used one big production to cultivate one overseas market after another and conquered one country after another.

How could a market with a population of more than one billion, a rapid economic development, and an extremely backward film industry, be ignored by them?

Among all the slightly larger film companies in Hollywood, Paramount Pictures and Jenkins Pictures are undoubtedly at the forefront and also set up a Chinese branch at the earliest. Although China-US relations are close to the freezing point, the normal business exchanges between the two sides have not been interrupted.

Despite the competition between them, major film companies and media groups have common interests in developing new markets. Ryan, including secretly funding and pressure are not less than any capital group. What they want is very simple. The federal government can win more interests for Hollywood in bilateral negotiations.

"The True Lies", "Jurassic Park", "Titanic", "Save Private Ryan", and even "The Rest of the Desert Island" that Ryan thought he was disappointing were all in the movie market here. They swept away more than ten million US dollars in box office, and this is just the beginning. After all, there are too few screens here now.

All of this shows the huge potential of this market.

The federal government and the United States need Hollywood to spread their mainstream values ​​to the world, and Hollywood also needs to use national strength and economic strength to develop and cultivate its own market, which is no different from other industries.

Of course, Ryan doesn't care about the needs of the federal government and the United States. What he wants is very simple, that is interests.

No one knows better than him how great the potential of this film market is, and in another ten years, it can even compare with the North American film market!

After years of hard work and continuous bombing of fine and large-scale productions, this market is developing in the direction Ryan expected at a faster speed than his previous life.

As for whether it will destroy the film industry here, he is not worried at all. Closure will never bring about development. Besides, although a certain big scissor often does some inexplicable things, it has also protected the film industry here to a large extent.

In addition, Ryan also made people actively contact Sanlian Press and wanted the Harry Potter series to be published here as soon as possible, even if it was pirated everywhere at that time, he wouldn't care. As long as the entire series has influence, making money is not a problem at all.

By the way, there is an Asian character in the Harry Potter series. For the market of this series, should I find a girl star here?

However, copyright protection here is indeed a big problem. It is a derivative that can occupy the majority of the revenue of the film industry in North America. Here...

"Ryan, why not complain about them?" Taylor's little head was full of doubt.

This is by the West Lake. While they were traveling, they passed a video store. Taylor ran in curiously and saw a large number of "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park" CDs. With the experience of the little guy staying in the film company all year round, he easily distinguished that it was an unauthorized pirated version.

Originally, she wanted to question the boss for sale, but Ryan asked George to carry it out.

"The loss is all our money!" The little guy was obviously poisoned by Ryan's thoughts.

"Okay, my dear, this is not North America." Ryan could only rub her head helplessly. Such things were impossible to explain. Both sides had a long distance to understand the copyright of cultural products. Didn't he grow up watching pirated copies in his previous life?

"You should mail them a lawyer's letter!" Taylor received elite education and had a vague concept of many basic common sense.

"What then?" Ryan shook his head and led her towards Sudi, "Win a time-consuming and labor-intensive transnational lawsuit?"

"Then is no one here?" Even though she was pulled by Ryan, she still looked back at the audio-visual store from time to time.

"Yes." There is a special day every year.

Retrieving Taylor's head, Ryan asked, "Do you want to row?"

"You?" Taylor was obviously a little scared, "I don't want to sink to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish."

After turning around Sudie, the sun gradually rose to the top. Taylor had already drunk the second cold drink and said with his tongue, "Let's go back, I'm hungry, Ryan!"

"Well, what do you want to eat? Authentic Chinese food?"

"By the way, Ryan, I asked Chen yesterday and said there was a name here..."

After getting into the car, Taylor couldn't help scratching his head, took out the note book from his bag, and after looking at it, he said again, "It should be called the building outside the building. Chen said that it was a store that has been opened for more than a hundred years, and the dishes cooked were delicious."

The building outside the building? Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it must be the building outside the building.

Louwailou is located at the foot of Gushan by the West Lake. It was probably early and there were not many guests here.

After ordering a double-table private room in the lake, Ryan ordered West Lake vinegar fish, beggar boy chicken, and Dongpo braised meat and other signature dishes. He was afraid that Taylor and others would not get used to it, so he ordered a few more Western-style meals.

Just after ordering the dish, George's phone rang. He handed it to Ryan, but it was Chen Jiazheng who called it.

"Ryan, where are you? The results of the questionnaire are out!"

"Louwailou, come here for lunch together."

About half an hour later, Chen Jiazheng hurried over, holding a file bag in his hand.

"Sit, Chen!" Ryan pointed to the chair opposite.

"Is it hot, Chen?" Taylor smiled and poured him a glass of cold juice.

"Thank you!" After drinking most of his mouth, he handed Ryan the file bag. "The questionnaire sent out last month has been counted."

"You eat first, don't worry about me." Ryan opened the file bag on his own.

The potential of the Chinese film market is not as simple as saying. In order to master the front-line data as a reference, he joined forces with Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Time Warner. At the beginning of this summer, he jointly invested to open up the joints, hired relevant survey companies, and distributed more than 200,000 questionnaires about films to universities here.

No matter which country or region, young people are the main consumer groups in the film market, especially purely commercial large-scale productions.

This survey mainly targets first-tier cities, where the number of theaters and screens in these cities is far exceeding the average level. It is also the city that contributes the most box office and the fastest growth among the movies introduced by Jenkins Pictures.

Among the nearly 200,000 questionnaires collected, nearly 70% of college students said that as long as there are movies that are of interest, they will choose to enter the theater to watch. The ticket price and the excitement of the film are the primary factors they consider.

More than two-thirds of them will give priority to movies from Hong Kong and Hollywood, believing that there is a clear gap between domestic movies and the first two.

Because of Ryan's involvement, many large-scale productions that were not introduced here in his previous life. Since he wrote them, he has eliminated a lot of sensitive content, and coupled with some targeted work, he finally appeared on this land.

For example, the "Jurassic Park" series.

The most advanced film technology and precision-processed large productions can't find any opponent here, and the only opponent, Hong Kong movies are only one step away from death.

The market is about to open its doors.

"George, when you go back, send one to all your partners." Ryan handed the file bag to George.

If you want to truly become familiar with the market, Jenkins Pictures will not be able to do it even if it increases its scale ten times. This is the benefit of the entire Hollywood.

Of course, it is one of the main markets for his future profits.

"How is it?" Ryan's attention returned to the dining table.

"Strange." Taylor muttered.

It was obvious that she just tasted most of the dishes, and she probably wasn't used to the taste, so she never moved again.

"Dear, didn't you say you wanted to taste the whole world's food? That won't work." Ryan tasted the pure Chinese food that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"But you have also said that every country and nation has its own eating habits and characteristics." The little guy said with a sensation, "For example, Chen, when you first ate butter bread, did you think it was a rare delicacy in the world?"

"Of course not!" Chen Jiazheng shook his head with a smile.

"For example, this dish." Taylor refers to West Lake vinegar fish, "George hasn't moved it either."

George shrugged, silent, obviously not wanting to get involved.

"Okay, we have cream bread for dinner." Ryan helped the little girl wipe the food residue off her face, "Is this OK?"

After seeing Ang Lee's shooting progress and getting the results of the questionnaire, Ryan's work on this trip was completed. After two days of traveling with Taylor, he was about to return to Los Angeles.

Because the Matrix is ​​about to premiere.

In the past six months, Harvey Weinstein has almost disappeared from Hollywood's sight. He and the Wachowski brothers entered the editing room, taking advantage of the temptation of high rewards to squeeze all post-production staff.
