After the show was broadcast, Liu Yifei and others became popular searches.

Liu Yifei's team did not do such things as buying hot searches, it should be the handwriting of Zhejiang Taiwan and the crew of "Northwest 2".

The ratings of this episode of the show are indeed good, and it can be ranked in the top three among the previous finale works.

The crew of "Northwest 2" also followed the Dongfeng of this episode, and reached a new level in the pre-sale, crossing the 3000 million mark.

On par with "The Ferryman".

Ari panicked again. They had great confidence in Zhang Jiajia, in Wang Sunglasses, and in the all-star lineup led by Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, but that was Liu Yifei after all.

The only big flower in China, the actress with the most commercial value and box office appeal.

Just after the hundred flowers were sealed, the limelight was the same for a while.

Xue Xiaolu is also Liu Yifei's old partner, and the two cooperate tacitly.

And "North West 2" is Liu Yifei's first film after giving birth - "John Wick 2" will be released early next year.

Therefore, "Northwest 2" is regarded by Ari as the strongest opponent in the Christmas file.

Of course, "The Great Wall" is also very powerful, and Jackie Chan's "Railway Flying Tiger" is watching.

The competition for the entire Christmas-New Year's Day stalls is very fierce.

However, there is good news that remote will not participate in next spring's file.

To put it another way, in the first quarter of next year, there will be no master-controlled films to be released by Remote.

After the official release of The Great Wall, word-of-mouth collapsed.

Although Tian Tian has "Ode to Joy" and "A Slight Smile is Alluring", her film reputation is still not very good.

Coupled with the audience's zero tolerance for Xiao Xianrou at this time, why don't they criticize Lu Han, Chen Xuedong and Wang Junkai.

So by the 23rd, the total box office of "The Great Wall" in the mainland has reached nearly 7 million, but the fermentation of word of mouth has caused the number of new films to decrease day by day.

After the first three days, there was no single day that exceeded [-] million.

I heard that Tiantian was scolded by netizens and hid in the car crying. After crying, she had to go to publicity. The assistant confiscated her mobile phone and did not let her read the negative comments from netizens.

Of course Zhang Yimou is also aware of the problem, but his old scalper's character keeps him on the front line.

He will not say that he regrets making this film during the film's release, he can only repeatedly explain for the film: "This is a commercial blockbuster, please don't be too harsh on it."

But he also expressed his dissatisfaction very cryptically: "It can be released in more than 100 countries, with a production cost of [-] million US dollars, and global distribution. Who doesn't want to try it? I also want to see if there is a miracle or something."

In China, other than Zhang Yimou, Cheng Yu'an is the only one who can take over productions of this level.

In an interview, Director Zhang may also have revealed the news of "Three Billboards" in order to divert people's attention from "The Great Wall":

"It's a foreign language film and it's already finished. I'll see you next year.

"Well, it's the crew that Director Cheng gave me."

When asked about the feeling of working with Cheng Yuan's team, Zhang Yimou secretly said: "It's very down-to-earth, and it's very comfortable to work with a professional team."

For Zhang Yimou, Cheng Yu'an spent a lot of money to hire Emmanuel Lubezki to take the camera. This great master, Cheng Yu'an has always wanted to cooperate.

When it came to the Christmas file, the debate about the 120 fps of Li An's "Billy Lynn" basically came to an end - the market didn't like it, and the 120 fps experiment failed!
It was only then that the industry and netizens remembered Cheng Yu’an’s previous negative remarks on 120 frames: “120 frames will destroy all the beauty related to movies: fantastic, dreamy, fictional, imaginative, and hazy. 120 frames is not the future of movies.”

Liu Yifei has a debt to the crew of "North West 2". According to the publicity contract, she has to set aside 20 days for the road show and promotion of "North West 2". The start of the film had to be postponed because of Liu Yifei's temporary rescue and the fact that it took 12 days to experience life.

I really can't push it anymore, "Little Princess" has already confirmed that it will participate in next year's Shanghai Film Festival, and if it is pushed again, it will not be able to catch up with the film festival.

Therefore, Liu Yifei left only 2 days before and after the publicity schedule for the "North West 15" crew.

Liu Yifei embarked on the pre-screening promotion of "Northwest 2".

Cheng Yu'an brought her precious daughter to the company. It's the end of the year and it's time for a summary meeting.

Of course, Guo Fei, Chen Zhixi and others are in charge of theater movies and TV series. Cheng Yu'an is most concerned about Tudou's business.

Especially Tudou's sea plan.

"We still can't get into Europe and America."

"It's okay." Cheng Yu'an never thought about letting potatoes enter Europe and the United States. It's unrealistic. "How about Asia?"

His goal for Tudou is to encircle Asia, especially Southeast Asia and South Asia. In this area, Tudou must reach a certain scale.

"We are doing well in Japan and South Korea." Tudou's vice president in charge of overseas business said, "In South Korea, Netflix is ​​not our opponent, but in the Japanese market, Netflix has made a strong counterattack."

"In areas such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan, both of us are not doing well, but we have local advantages and are temporarily ahead. But in the Indian market, we are far behind Netflix."

"No hurry." Streaming media is a long-term solution, and a temporary lead or lag does not explain the problem. "We are still number one in China, right?"

"Definitely, we now have the most paid users among domestic video sites, more than 3000 million more than Youku, and we are the only one that is profitable."

"All right, all right, stop bragging." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "Let's count the overseas revenue, the domestic business is not the same loss."

This is true. None of the domestic video sites are profitable, and Tudou is the one that loses the least.

"We can't really blame us. Several of our websites are now fighting too hard. The cost of self-produced dramas has soared, and actors' remuneration is too expensive."

"You didn't spend any money on marketing?" Cheng Yu'an teased.

The marketing of online dramas also accounts for a large amount of expenses. The cost of 5000 million yuan and the marketing of [-] million yuan are not fake.

"We don't want to spend so much money on marketing hype, but other companies do this, not to mention anything else, Penguin Video has hundreds of millions of clicks and tens of billions of plays. Everyone knows that this data is fake, but the capital market believes it. , Investors don’t watch dramas, you tell them that we have billions and tens of billions of broadcasts, how many fans the protagonist has on Weibo, and how many conversions can be brought to advertisers, they watch this.”

"I don't mean to blame you. The domestic market is deformed. We can't give up. We can only spend time with them. Fortunately, our overseas business is doing well and we can provide blood transfusions for the country."

"Speaking of this, Tony, the vice president of business development of Netflix Asia Pacific, sent us a meeting offer last month. I think he wants to cooperate with us. After all, the two of us are fighting too hard in Asia, which is not good for both parties."

"I know this." As a shareholder of Netflix, Cheng Yu'an received a notice from Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos as early as the middle of the year, saying that Netflix executives were very dissatisfied with Cheng Yu'an's actions in Asia.

But Cheng Yu'an is only a shareholder with a medium-to-high shareholding. First, he is not on the board of directors of Netflix, and second, he is not working in Netflix. Netflix's decisions are not binding on him.

But Cheng Yu'an's influence in the international film world lies here, and Netflix attaches great importance to Cheng Yu'an, and several times tried to ask Cheng Yu'an to discuss business in Asia, but Cheng Yu'an refused to be invited.

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while: "Answer Tony, let's talk about it in the next year, it really won't work if we fight like this."

Cheng Yu'an held meetings at the company until 11:[-] p.m., and her mother-in-law came over at [-]:[-] to pick up Qiqi.

"Yu'an, wait a moment." Jiang Xuerou called him to stop.

"Sister, it's almost 12 o'clock." Cheng Yu'an now wanted to go somewhere to have a supper before going back to sleep.

"Xiaowen asked you to talk about the new film."

"Is tomorrow okay?"

"No, Xiaowen waited for more than a week to get your schedule, you should talk to someone anyway, this film is more troublesome, we are not sure."

Now many of the company's films won't go through Yu'an's hands, and the highest ones can be made in the hands of Chen Zhixi and Jiang Xuerou.

Cheng Yu'an looked at the time: "Okay, tell Xiao Wen to wait for me at Laosun's food stall, and I'll treat him to supper."
