Chapter 896 The Seventh Biggest Hollywood? (third change)
""The Hangover 2" topped the weekend box office, "Thor" and "Fast and Furious 5" ranked fourth and fifth!" - "Variety Show"

"Liang Tianchi Films dominates the summer season, and the weekend box office rankings account for three out of five!" - "Hollywood Report"

"Hollywood's seventh largest giant --- Tianchi Films!" --- "Los Angeles Times"

……

The three films of Liang Tianchi Films ranked in the top five of the North American summer weekend box office rankings at the same time, causing a wave of restlessness in the North American media and Hollywood.

Liang Tianchi Pictures first attracted attention because its boss is Chen Hao, who has been successful and never failed.

But later, Liang Tianchi Films continued to make big gains from small businesses, and created several successful series of films, becoming one of the benchmarks of independent film companies.

"Saw" series, "The Hangover" series, "Taken" series, "Fast and Furious" series, "Twilight" series, "Iron Man" series and so on.

These can be said to be world-renowned series of films, and the production of so many well-known series of films is enough to show the vision and strength of Tianchi Films.

Especially in the last two years, that is, in 2009 and 2010, Liangtianchi Films defeated the two major companies of Lionsgate and Summit respectively, and became the leader of independent film companies.

At the same time, the gap with the bottom of the six Hollywood giants is getting smaller and smaller, with only a box office gap of about 2 million US dollars.

Because of this, the media, which has already done good things, gave Liang Tianchi Pictures the title of "Hollywood's seventh largest".

Now, with the most competitive summer season, Liangtianchi Films can have 3 films in the top five of the weekend box office rankings at the same time, and has won a total of 6 weekend box office champions!
What's more, "Captain America" ​​and "Twilight Saga 4" will be released in the second half of the year.

At the same time, the super IP of the Marvel superhero movie universe seems to be becoming more and more successful!
With so many successful series of movies, plus Marvel Entertainment with more than 5000 superheroes, the future development potential of Tianchi Films even surpasses the six giants of Hollywood!
This is also one of the reasons why the six major Hollywood giants want to acquire Marvel Entertainment after they failed to acquire Liangtianchi Pictures. After all, the threat of Liangtianchi Pictures is indeed too great.

The Sixth Hollywood has been alerted to Liang Tianchi Pictures early on. If it weren't for Liang Tianchi Pictures' distribution ability or relying on Sony Columbia, I am afraid that the suppression of Liang Tianchi Pictures by Hollywood giants would be more obvious.

It is true that Liang Tianchi Films has produced excellent films, and that the list of five occupies three out of three, but it also proves from the side that its distribution ability has been constrained.

Because Hollywood giants will not let their blockbuster films meet at the peak of the box office, they will stagger their schedules, instead of releasing two blockbuster films just a week apart when they are most tense like Liang Tianchi Films, and then beat themselves .

Of course, this also proves that the influence of Liang Tianchi Films is growing, even enough to challenge Hollywood giants.

What followed naturally was the competitive pressure of the Hollywood Six.

There was "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stormy Tides" before, and next week is "X-Men: First Class."

As one of the most anticipated blockbusters this year, whether "The Hangover 2" can withstand the impact of "X-Men: First Class" is not very hopeful in the eyes of most media.

It's just that no matter what, your distribution ability is not as good as other giants, so you can only endure it.

If you want to be able to truly control your own destiny, you have to talk about it after the acquisition of MGM.

……

At the same time, also on May 2011, 5, Haotian Special Effects' "Kung Fu Panda 26" officially landed in major theaters in the mainland.

Originally, "Kung Fu Panda 2" was scheduled to land in the mainland and North America at the same time on this day, but unfortunately it collided with the schedule of "The Hangover 2", and the North American side could only postpone it to June 6.

Mainland viewers can watch "Kung Fu Panda 2" first.

Affected by the positive reviews and hits of the first "Kung Fu Panda", as well as the blessing of Haotian Special Effects, which won an Oscar and became a world-class special effects company.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" became very popular in the mainland as soon as it was released, triggering a movie-watching boom. Its box office hit 2.354 million yuan in the first week, and it became the top weekly box office champion!

This box office result not only won the weekly box office championship, but also surpassed the 2.13 million yuan of "Inception", becoming the second highest box office list in the first week of mainland film history, second only to "Avatar"'s 2 million yuan!
What's even more exaggerated is that "Kung Fu Panda 2" directly squeezed into the top ten of the mainland's 2011 box office rankings in its first week of box office, and directly ranked second.

At the top of the list is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: On Stormy Tides", which was released last week and has a cumulative box office of 2.914 million yuan in the past two weeks!
The annual box office champion before "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was the 2.25 million "Battle of Los Angeles" that has already been drawn.

Comparing it with the 2 million yuan in the first week of "Kung Fu Panda 2.354", you can see the strength of this animated film.

The box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2" was a big hit in the first week, which naturally made Haotian Special Effects very excited. Obviously this is to break the rhythm of the first film, which also makes Haotian Special Effects full of expectations for the North American and global box office.

……

Soon, time entered June, and Chen Hao, who was still filming on the set of "The Avengers", received an email from Yu Yongfu from the mainland.

The daily headlines have been set up, and now we need a start-up capital of 1000 million US dollars!
In fact, the settings of web pages are basically the same. If you want to attract and retain users, the most important thing is the content of the website.

Now that Daily Toutiao is a startup, original content cannot meet the demand at all, and the quality and timeliness of news cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, Daily Toutiao needs to spend money on resources to obtain the content reprinting rights of several major portal websites and authoritative media, so as to fill the website content to attract users.

After having a user, it is necessary to use big data analysis to push the user's favorite or interested content to satisfy the user, so as to retain the user.

Now that everything is just getting started, it depends on money.

After reading it, Chen Hao agreed directly, and directly transferred 1000 million U.S. dollars to Toutiao's account.

The 1000 million US dollars happened to be Chen Hao's salary for directing "The Avengers", and he had to take it out as soon as it was in his pocket.

According to Chen Hao's request, Daily Toutiao was independent and became a subsidiary of Haotian Network Group. Although the company has only a few employees, Yu Yongfu is also the general manager for the time being.

As for the person in charge and talent cultivation of Toutiao in the future, Chen Hao waited for Toutiao to show up, and then directly acquired Toutiao, and the two merged!
