Age of Dreams

The Titanic is a miracle.

In 1998, it had a box office of 100 million in China.

Just listen to the numbers, but if you know that the total box office of China was only a little over 1 billion, then you will have a different opinion on this masterpiece, which directly accounted for almost one-third of the box office of the year. Feelings.

You want to say that Came buys the base for having such a good result, so he feels that the shame of Huaguo City has brought him great benefits, that is also wrong.

In fact, it wasn't until 2013 that with the growing strength of the Chinese movie viewing market, American films began to gradually treat China as a super movie market.

At that time, I heard that when the leaders of the state were preparing to visit them, the call for "opening up the Chinese film market and expanding the share of imported films" had directly reached the White House, and the White House was used as a very important content of the conversation. Mention it with Hua Guo.

An entertainment industry can actually rise to the level of talks by national leaders. This shows that the film industry is important to the United States, and it is also important to know the importance of eating American movies in Huaguo City.

But those are later.

Now Kameru does not pay much attention to the Chinese market, and thinks that he can almost take advantage of the box office of 100 million U.S. dollars in the Chinese market. That is the limit.

Even if it is more, according to the share of the Chinese market, their producers and distributors can only get at most 167 million U.S. dollars, compared to the US$300 million and 500 million that the US market may accept, and two The profit of 300 million US dollars is simply not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Cameron is taking the box office of the Huaguo market to exchange it with the kiwi cinema line.

Let the kiwi movie theater line make a lot of money in China, while the Cameron’s Ding Li held in the United States will also make a lot of money.

Originally, they couldn't make more money in China. It's better to divide the profit that you can't get to the kiwi movie theaters, so that you can get a favor without spending money, so that the kiwi movie theaters can give them more support in the United States. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Came Luo believes in Qiao Guoer, and now it is Xiao Qi, and he must be able to see the win-win situation inside. The only difference is how everyone talks about the price.

"Let's do it." Xiao Qi said, "In China, there are two ways to introduce foreign films, one is the share of the 20 imported films each year, and the other is the share of the 20 imported films that are bought out. What I mean is, if you follow your ideas, then I’m willing to pay 10 million US dollars to buy out Avatar’s movie broadcasting rights in mainland China."

"hiss"

Cameron took a breath. Almost wanted to curse.

Xiao Qi was so ruthless, it wiped out at least 5 million US dollars in profits.

But after all, he is not the set tyrant 10 years ago. In terms of business, he is already a relatively successful businessman.

Came said, facing the world's richest man, as long as he dares to swear, he will definitely be punished severely. This kind of punishment is far from what a Hollywood super director can bear.

So he can only endure the annoyance. Word by word: "Mr. Xiao, your price is too insincere. No matter how bad the Huaguo City penalties, this time it cannot be less than 100 million U.S. dollars. You just bit 5 million U.S. dollars in one sentence. Profit, don’t you think it’s too greedy?"

Xiao Qi smiled, "Similarly, Cameron. What you said, the U.S. only gave us 60% when it was released in the fifth week, which is too much. Others reduced it by 10% in turn, until the final release. You can even get 90%. And you still want 60%. I think this is even more excessive."

Cameron stopped talking.

He wanted to tell Xiao Qi that after the fifth week, the number of people watching the movie would usually decrease, and the difference between 60% and 90% is not that big.

But now he knows that Xiao Qi knows Hollywood very well and is not a layman at all.

Xiao Qi must know that some movies are different.

Take his Titanic for example, which has earned more than 20 million U.S. dollars for dozens of weeks, so the difference between 60% and 90% is too big, far more than the difference of 5 million U.S. dollars in the Chinese market.

Therefore, Came coded for a long time, and finally nodded, "I will consider this matter, but the 20th Century Fox side also needs you to communicate with them. There is no problem with them. Generally speaking, there is no cooperation between us. There is a problem."

"it is good!"

Xiao Qi stretched out his hand, "I wish we have a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

This time, Pace and Carmelo got up and shook hands with Xiao Qi.

Originally, their negotiations were now finished, but before they could speak, Xiao Qi suddenly said another item.

"To be honest, I am very optimistic about 3D technology. If the two of you want to develop 3D technology on a large scale, I think Kiwi Film Group can invest more funds for you to carry out the most complete and comprehensive development." Xiao Qi said this to the two of them.

Pace was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to talk.

But Cameru said earlier, "Mr. Xiao, if I think well, you will take more shares of our company while providing large-scale funding?"

Xiao Qi nodded, "It is only natural to pay money and get a reward."

"I know your habit, Mr. Xiao, you like to hold a company, it is best to buy a company wholly, right?" Cameron said with a calm face.

Pace's face changed, and he looked at Xiao Qi nervously.

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly to himself. It seems that his reputation for monopolizing good things has spread. When Cameron Pace thinks of his investment, he thinks of being acquired.

"If you want, of course I like holdings." Xiao Qi spread out, "but what you just said is just some rumors, such as Bloomberg, Qualcomm, Apple, Amazon, etc., I just hold shares. ."

Carmelo sneered at this.

Although Xiao Qi only controls about 10%-20% of the shares in the above-mentioned companies, more companies are almost completely held by Xiao Qi.

At the root, Xiao Qi is such a very selfish person. This has long been a consensus on Wall Street.

Therefore, Camelli is often afraid that Xiao Qi wants to annex his own 3D company. He attaches more importance to 3D technology than his special effects company. He is absolutely unwilling to be annexed by Xiao Qi.

"If you are willing to invest another 500 million US dollars, I can consider giving you another 12% of the shares." After thinking about it, Cameron gave this answer.

Pace was dumbfounded.

Before Xiao Qi bought Paul Allen’s 18% of Cameron Pace’s shares. It only cost 300 million U.S. dollars, and now I have to buy another 12%, but Came's price has reached 500 million U.S. dollars, which directly skyrocketed by 250%, which can be described as black.

"Hehe, this share of the shares is not the same as what I paid, so let's talk about it later." Xiao Qi was not fooled, so he put aside the negotiation for the time being.

Even if he wanted to buy shares in the company, Xiao Qi would not negotiate so lightly.

He will only let professional negotiating brokers later. Go to a formal contract with Came, so that the price can definitely be reduced a lot, and the procedures for buying and selling can also be perfect.

When he left, the teenager sitting in the car smiled with satisfaction.

Kamemed’s Avatar can definitely sell well in China, but he calculated based on China’s box office performance in the past few years, and obviously calculated it to be more than 100 million U.S. dollars.

Therefore, he gave up the Huaguo market to reprimand it together ∨ is so simply.

As everyone knows, the wave of Chinese film viewing has begun. It started with Avatar.

Avatar began to be screened in January 2010, and it was gradually removed from the screen in May. It took four months to smash hundreds of millions of yuan, which is basically a box office of 200 million US dollars!

But at this time in the previous life, Huaguo’s screen was only 5,000 pieces up and down, and 3d screens were just about 1,000 pieces. There are almost less than 100 imax screens, which is not a little bit worse than the 18,000 screens, 12,000 3D screens, and more than 3,000 imax screens at the end of 2013.

Can get such good results on such a small total number of screens and 3d and imax screens. Avatar is not an exaggeration to be called the king of the moment.

If there are better 3D and imax screens in the previous life, Avatar will definitely have more box office. This is the consensus that has long been established in the movie theaters in China.

In this life, under Xiao Qi’s Nulian ~www.readwn.com~ The kiwi movie theater line that has not appeared in the previous life, there are more than 2000 ordinary 2D screens, plus about 500 3D and imax screens, so all of a sudden It occupies a little more than one-third of the total number of screens in China.

Therefore, Xiao Qi is very optimistic that if Avatar is shown on the kiwi movie theater line for about 3 months, it will reach a box office of 300 million US dollars, directly exceeding 2 billion yuan.

Coupled with the copyright fees sold to other theaters such as the Pian Group, Avatar made a net profit of 1.5 billion yuan for the kiwi movie theater line, which is not too exaggerated.

This is not the only contribution that Avatar has made to the kiwi movie theater line.

With the demonstration effect of Avatar, the massive expansion of 3d and imax screens will definitely show a blowout trend.

At the same time, the kiwi movie theater line with shares of 3d and imax. At that time, just earning copyright fees would also make a lot of money!

Not to mention the expansion of influence brought about by this, it is an intangible huge benefit! (
