Chapter 297 There Is No Room for Movie Quality to Decline
"Three thousand warriors of Sparta!"

Seeing this name, Lin Ziyi couldn't help being happy.

"I said, you're too good at touching porcelain this time. Even if the audience is prepared, it may be difficult to distinguish when watching the movie."

Xu Nan smiled without saying a word.

The name is indeed too similar to the genuine one.

The characters in the United States are letters, and sometimes the meaning of one less letter may be completely different, or even completely irrelevant.

Take "The Hobbit" and "The Age of the Hobbit" as examples, do you think Xu Nan doesn't want to take a name like "The Hobbit Eight" or "The Hobbit Into"?
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't do it. If he chooses a similar name, the final result will have a very different meaning.

In China, there are hieroglyphs, and the audience mainly looks at the shape of the characters, but in the United States, there are letters, and the audience looks at the meaning of the words, so the names cannot be similar, but the meaning must be similar.

But "Three Thousand Spartans" is different.

The name of the original movie is "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". The English word for three hundred is three hunderd, which means three hundred, and the English word for three thousand is three thousand, which means three thousand.

The difference between the names of the two movies is only one word. Both the name and the meaning are extremely similar, almost comparable to "A Picture of Shanghe on Qingming Festival" and "A Picture of Shanghe on a Qingming Festival".

Putting these two movies together in the theater, even if the audience is prepared, it is difficult to distinguish clearly, not to mention that American audiences themselves are very nervous, and it is very likely that even if they choose carefully, they will still watch the wrong movie Case.

If this happens, the audience's mood will definitely collapse.

but.
Whether the audience collapses or not has nothing to do with him. The Shanzhai Pengci film relies on Pengci, and the more similar it is to the original movie, the easier it is to succeed.

On the opposite side, Lin Ziyi began to read the script.

"Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" also tells the story of Sparta, but many plots in it are relatively nonsensical, but the main line is very clear, that is, a Spartan became the king of the Spartans and finally defeated the Persian invasion. story.

With the precedents of "The Age of the Hobbit" and "Atlantic Rim", Lin Ziyi is very optimistic about the prospects of this film.

"The movie is fine, when will it be released?" Lin Ziyi asked.

Xu Nan smiled: "I want to release it on the same day as "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"."

"It will be released on the same day." Lin Ziyi frowned slightly: "Didn't you say last time that Shanzhai Pengci movies should be released ten days to a week before the original movie, so that the publicity of the original movie can be maximized to grab the box office? "

Xu Nan said vaguely: "There is a reason this time. I have a good idea for publicity. I need this movie to be released at the same time as the original movie."

Lin Ziyi didn't mean to ask any more questions, she was silent for a while and said, "It may be a bit troublesome to arrange the filming. I was a little nervous about the filming that day, and there are a lot of films to be arranged."

A flash of light flashed in Xu Nan's mind: "Have "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" agreed to give the Imperial Theater a share?"

Lin Ziyi nodded.

Xu Nan frowned, but he wasn't too surprised.

The movie schedule has a fatal impact on the box office of a film. Before that, it was because Shenhua Group had just acquired Emperor Cinemas, and outsiders were suppressed. That's why big-budget films did not give Imperial Cinemas a share.

In fact, this situation is very abnormal. The theater chain is at the top of the industry, so it naturally suppresses the film producers. That is why Lin Ziyi has just arrived, so she encountered this situation.

Now Lin Ziyi has gained a firm foothold in the United States, and has also mastered most of the power of Emperor Cinemas. She can influence the box office of a movie by adjusting the film schedule.

In this case, if the big-budget movies still don't give the Emperor Cinemas a share, then they are really stunned, they can't see the situation clearly, and they deserve to suffer.

But in this way, Xu Nan's situation is in an embarrassing situation. What can he use to compete with big-budget movies for a piece of porcelain.

Maybe the box office of his entire movie is less than 5.00% of the total box office of other movies. In this case, it is naturally very weak to fight for the film.

Fortunately, the cost of knockoff tiles is low, and fortunately there are overseas box office and streaming media copyrights, otherwise he would really be caught blind.

"Don't worry, no matter what, I have 30.00% of the shares of Nanhai Film and Television. Even if it is crowded, I will squeeze out a part of the film for you." Lin Ziyi comforted: "In addition, AMC said that they can release your Shanzhai Pengci slices, but you need to give them concessions in terms of splitting."

"AMC, the AMC of the three major theater chains in the United States?" Xu Nan's eyes lit up.

AMC is one of the three largest theater chain companies in the United States. In terms of the number of theaters it owns, it will only have more theaters than Emperor Cinemas, and it will be of great benefit to him if such a large theater chain is willing to play his movies.

"Yes." Lin Ziyi nodded: "Recently, Shanzhai Pengci has been popularized by you. Companies in the industry are shooting it, and even the companies under the three major cinema chains are following suit. So ask me to contact you."

Xu Nan was very relieved that the country of the United States was indeed suitable for copycat tiles, as long as there was an opening, it would immediately become a trend.

Of course, he also knows that AMC agrees to release his film, but it does not mean that he will arrange many films for him.

His Shanzhai Pengci film is at most a supplement, enriching the film library of the theater chain, allowing the audience to choose more. For this, he needs to pay more share as a price.

But even that is enough.

Still the same sentence, as long as the cost of Shanzhai Touching Ceramics is low enough, you are not afraid of losing money at all.

Even if the box office loses money, there are still overseas box offices, as well as streaming media copyrights and videotape copyrights.

Making money is certain, it is nothing more than a question of earning more and earning less.

"This is good news." Xu Nan nodded: "With the support of the two major theaters in the United States, and with such a similar name, the box office of this movie will definitely not be lower."

"It seems that I have to spend more time on filming, and strive to improve the quality."

Lin Ziyi couldn't hold back anymore: "People watch people order dishes, but you watch theaters support dishes. Seeing that there are two major theaters supporting them, you decided to improve the quality of the movie. Pure coping, right?"

"Yeah." Xu Nan nodded as a matter of course: "How much do you want to ask for Shanzhai Pengping Porcelain? This is not a big production."

"Is it okay to have some professional ethics?" Lin Ziyi raised her forehead: "Aren't you worried about the collapse of the movie's quality?"

"Don't worry." Xu Nan shook his head: "Because of my movie, there is no room for decline. A crash may improve the quality of the movie."

Lin Ziyi fell down.

What you said really makes sense.
