Chapter 633 Special effects return to North America
The plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport.

Then Li Hao got on the helicopter and went directly to TVB headquarters.

This kind of thing only happens in Xiangjiang. If you are in the mainland, you can't do this.

But in Xiangjiang, this is normal.

It is completely normal for rich people to go out and take helicopters.

There are even helicopters specially designed for tourists to sightsee, allowing tourists to take a helicopter tour of the bustling Hong Kong.

If you drive, it takes almost an hour.

But the helicopter is faster, arriving in about 10 minutes.

The hotel here has been arranged, and Li Hao checked into the hotel directly.

In the hotel's luxurious suite, Li Hao put his coat on the hanger, went to the window, and looked ahead, with a vast view of the sea.

This time Li Hao came to TVB headquarters to hold a meeting.

The strategic deployment of live streaming will vigorously explore the European, American, Japanese and Korean markets this year, selling Chinese products to the European, American, Japanese and Korean markets, and also selling European, American, Japanese and Korean products to China.

TVB is very rough in this area. They just invite celebrities to join and use their influence to quickly open up the market.

Of course, at the same time, the construction of the logistics system is also supported.

South Korea is a good opportunity this year because there are so many celebrities who can work hard at home without spending much money.

In Japan, as Beiqiao Ai has 4000 million fans on Douyin in Japan, he is the perfect choice to bring goods through live broadcast.

Last year, Kitahashi Ai topped the Japanese female celebrity income list, far behind No. 2.

After staying in Xiangjiang for three days, Li Hao returned to the capital.

Beijing, Siheyuan.

Li Hao was listening to the work assistant's report on the situation of "Three-Body: Dark Forest".

This time, "Three-Body: Into the Dark" can be said to have swept the world, especially in major film markets such as Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and its performance is even more impressive.

The ratings of "Three-Body: Into the Dark" on many North American film review websites exceed 8.5 points.

One month after its release, "Three-Body: The Dark Forest" earned 82.61 billion yuan in the Chinese film market, and its film schedule has always been at 55%. Even now, the daily box office still remains between 1500 and 2000 million. As early as half a month ago, I got the key extension.

The Chinese film market alone contributed US$12.71 billion in box office.

The cumulative box office in North America has reached 6 million U.S. dollars, the cumulative box office in Europe has reached 4.5 million U.S. dollars, and Asia, excluding China, has received 4 million U.S. dollars. The current cumulative box office worldwide is 29.85 billion U.S. dollars. Breaking the 30 billion U.S. dollar mark is just around the corner. It can be said that No pressure.

But now, the film schedules in many movie markets have dropped a lot.

"Director Li, do you want to spend some money on public relations?" the assistant asked.

The high box office of "Three-Body: Dark Forest" in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea has caused a big stir, with people everywhere shouting "Wolf is coming".Originally, there was hope for a higher box office in the North American film market, but many negative media reports and some organizations going to theaters to cause trouble affected the box office.

The same situation occurs in Europe.In Korea, that's even more exaggerated.

"No need, the box office potential of these places is not much anyway." Li Hao waved his hand. The public relations expenses in these places are not generally high. Spending this money at this time is not worth the gain.

The box office expenses are not as high as the public relations expenses.

As long as the Chinese film market is in hand, he will be invincible. And with the growing Nanyang film market in his back garden, Li Hao does not believe that he will lose in the game.

Once he knows which companies are causing trouble, he will naturally put some shoes on him.

As long as there are no problems with the AMC theater chain, then he will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The actions of these people would at most make him earn less.

"Recently, Hollywood is engaged in a movement to return special effects to North America~~" The assistant looked at Li Hao cautiously and reported the latest developments in North America.

Li Hao sneered in his heart.

The return of special effects to North America is as nonsense as the return of manufacturing to the United States!

Isn't it the reason why special effects are moving from North America to China because Hollywood movies are becoming more and more profitable and they are constantly trying to reduce costs and increase profits?
You know, Hollywood's '2000 million dollar club' refers to the salary of a single movie reaching 2000 million US dollars, and there are more than 2000 members of this '40 million dollar club'. It can be said that as long as an actor reaches the level of a first-line star, the salary can reach 2000 million US dollars. US dollars, and some of them have single-film remuneration reaching US$3000 million or even US$4000 million!
Under such circumstances, Hollywood movies have long been overwhelmed. A movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars can only hire one star from the "$2000 million club", but cannot afford two.And how can this afford the high cost of special effects?

You know, with the same level of special effects, Chinese special effects companies used to only need half or even one-third of the cost. Even if there is a slight increase later, it is still equivalent to 60% to 70% of the average cost of North American special effects companies.

Not to mention that labor wages in North America have risen dramatically in recent years.

Besides, the original special effects companies have laid off layoffs and gone bankrupt. Now there are no decent companies left. It’s easier said than done to rebuild the special effects industry?
More than half of the original talents are already working in China, and the wages they receive in China are not necessarily higher than before. However, with the same wage level, the quality of life in China is far superior to that in North America. Who would be willing to return to North America? .

Back in North America, I have to emphasize my label every time I speak! ?
Special effects return to North America, that’s a dream!
If special effects really return to North America, it means that the cost of special effects for each movie will have to increase a lot. Those movie companies are crazy to do this.

Some time ago, film companies were making a fuss, clamoring to lower actors' pay. As a result, these actors were dissatisfied and even went on strike in return. Now, someone wants to bring special effects back to North America. This is not asking these film companies to cut their flesh. , how could these film companies be willing.

Li Hao didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all.

Because it is completely bullshit. If it could be realized, Li Hao would have to give the opponent a thumbs-up and shout "fraud~~".

Just like the current Korean film, it has reached this level. If you want to revive Korean film and restore the glory of Korean film, it is also very difficult. The loss of talent and the sniping of vested interests are not so easy.

Li Hao felt that it would be easier to abolish Hollywood movies than to use special effects to return to North America.

Film companies such as Hollywood are almost overwhelmed by the increasing cost of film production and thinning profits. As a result, their costs are now being increased. These film companies may simply stop making films.

Or just make streaming movies.

But when that time comes, many people will probably have a headache.

Streaming movies and theater movies are ultimately different. At least in terms of visual effects and sound effects, they are far inferior to theater movies.

Back then, Hollywood swept the world and conquered cities and territories around the world, not with literary films, but with blockbusters!
