World-class director in the entertainment industry

"As for [-]th Century Fox's [Percy Jackson and the Sea of ​​Monsters]..."

"This is also a movie based on a novel, a fantasy movie. The first movie was released in 2010, but it's a pity that the box office didn't work."

"It is reported that the second part will be released this summer, and a lot of information has been revealed. It seems that it is more..."

When Barry said this, he shrugged, and he knew what he meant by looking at his expression.

"Whoa, great news..."

When Qin Dong heard the words, he didn't mean to hide at all, and directly gave a praise.

"[Elysium] is a work of Columbia Corporation. The director of this film is the sensational [Ninth District] director. It also invited first-line star Matt Damon. It is reported that the cost is as high as 1.2 million."

When Barry said this, he shook his head:

"It's a pity that Columbia keeps this movie a secret. It is reported that there are only a few department heads to watch the movie internally, so..."

The department head, the level is too high. It's not impossible to buy people of this level, but the price is too high.

It's really not cost-effective just to inquire about the movie.

"It's so good to keep it secret, but it was chosen to be released in August. It seems that the finished film is not good..."

Martin stroked his chin analyzing, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

They are all old foxes who have been in Hollywood for many years, and they have come to accurate conclusions based on clues.

"Martin's analysis makes sense, and I think so too."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded when he heard the words, agreeing with this point of view.

Martin relied purely on analysis, while Qin Dong already knew that this [Blissful Space] was a hit.

[Elysium] The North American box office is less than 9000 million, and the overseas box office is the highest, reaching 1.4 million box office.

It adds up to 2.3 million box office, which looks good.

But considering that the cost of this movie is as high as 1.2 million, plus the promotion fee for global release, at least tens of millions of dollars will start...

If Columbia, the producer, wants to make a profit, it has to rely on post-production offline discs, copyrights and other income.

"Qin, are you sure? Your company's work [Divergent] has decided to be released in August? Which day do you plan to choose?"

When Barry heard this, he quickly asked questions.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Qin Dong's movie has never failed, and the movie Qin Dong decides seems to be the same.

[The Hunger Games] This is also a movie adapted from a novel. Qin Dong decided, but he didn't intervene in the filming. The final result...

It's a medium-budget movie worth tens of millions of dollars, with a global box office of 7.8 million dollars. Who can reason?

In terms of box office alone, Qin Dong's companies made a profit of US$2 million.

Coupled with other copyrights, offline discs, etc., the initial profit will be 5 million US dollars.

This is only the first one. You must know that "The Hunger Games" is a series of novels, which means that at least three movies will be made.

This profit can't start at more than 10 billion...

Nowadays, as long as Hollywood people have a little brain, they dare not underestimate Qin Dong's movies, nor dare to underestimate the movies of Qin Dong's companies.

"Oh, Barry, I know what to worry about..."

Qin Dong understood Barry's meaning in seconds, and stretched out his hand to make the other party feel at ease:

"I just heard you say that your company is pessimistic about the box office of its own work [300 Warriors: Rise of an Empire]."

"So to save you, I'll steer clear of this movie, how about a week later?"

"This kind of blockbuster, if word of mouth can't wait, then basically most of the box office supply will be in the first few days..."

Talking about giving Barry face, in fact Qin Dong aimed at the release of "Bliss Space" on August 8.

It's about to compete with this movie.

"One week late, yes, thank you, Qin."

Barry thought for a while, and thanked with a smile.

Qin Dong's words are based on common sense. From the perspective of the Hollywood industry, [-] to [-]% of the box office of blockbuster movies that hit the market are usually concentrated in the previous week.

In other words, the three-day box office in the first weekend is [-]% of the total box office of the blockbuster blockbusters.

Because of word-of-mouth, bad plots and other reasons, the longer these blockbuster movies are released, the box office will drop in a straight line, and some of them will not even wait for a month to be released by the cinema.

In Barry Meyer's view, if [300 Warriors: Rise of an Empire] really hits the market, one week is enough to pull back most of the box office, and the follow-up box office will not have much box office if the word of mouth is poor.

If the word-of-mouth and the plot satisfy the movie fans, then it can still get box office after a week, and it doesn't matter whether other movies are good or not.

All in all, one week is enough.

"This movie is released on August 8, so Qin, [Divergent] will be released on August 2, which happens to be the same day as Columbia's [Elysium]."

"Need a premiere?"

After Martin listened to the meeting, he was more sure that Qin Dong's goal was to aim at [Elysium Space], aiming at Matt Damon.

But these thoughts had to be hidden from the bottom of my heart, and I asked them in a serious manner on the surface.

"Yeah... Elizabeth is the only protagonist in the movie. She belongs to the entertainment industry's little transparency. Although there are occasional news, it's useless."

"I need her to be famous before the movie comes out, a world premiere is a must, and as star-studded as possible..."

"[Divergent] isn't just one movie, it's a series, and I need Elizabeth to be a Hollywood star."

Qin Dong nodded without hesitation when he heard the words.

[Divergent] The novel was written by Qin Dong himself, and the movie was shot by Qin Dong's wholly-owned company. The heroine, Elizabeth Olsen, is Qin Dong's young lover.

Three reasons forced Qin Dong to arrange it himself, making up his mind to make [Divergent] an instant hit.

Not only must the box office be profitable, but Elizabeth Olsen must also become famous from now on, so as to drive the subsequent second, third, and fourth [Divergent] movies.

"Makes sense."

Not only Martin nodded, but even Barry nodded in agreement.

Although the "Divergent" movie does not have Warner's investment, the global distribution still cannot bypass Barry's Warner.

Why does Qin Dong have a good relationship with Warner and Warner's president Barry?

The reason is that Qin Dong knows how to avoid some thunder points.

For example, for global distribution, Qin Dong didn't expect his company to have global distribution channels, and he didn't even prepare for them.

Blackwater Dragon Flag Company only has distribution rights in North America, Yuefu Media only has distribution rights in China, and even Southeast Asia does not have comprehensive distribution rights, and it is still developing slowly. These are Qin Dong's intentions.

The reason why Yuefu Media is slowly developing distribution rights in Southeast Asia is because Yuefu Media is now one of the largest large-scale entertainment companies in China, and only when the company has reached its size can it intervene.

As for the Blackwater Dragon Flag Company, it is doomed not to be able to climb up to the status of one of the six Hollywood giants.

Not only will the six giants not agree, if one day it really develops, I'm afraid that the old and beautiful black palace will step in and directly suppress it.

Therefore, Qin Dong only asked Heishuilongqi to develop distribution channels in North America. As for global distribution, all of them were handed over to Warner Company.

Although it is controlled by others, it saves a lot of things.

In order to earn money from foreigners, I don't care about it at all.

If you can earn more money from foreigners, why not?

At least in Qin Dong's opinion, earning money from a foreigner's wallet is more interesting and meaningful than earning money from his own compatriots.

Otherwise, because Qin Dong does not emigrate and maintains his Chinese identity, it is a dream to have smooth sailing in a place like Hollywood.

If you really don't leave any room for things, and want to take a look at all the small mountains and knock down all the six big Hollywood, that's really a fool's dream.

Even if Qin Dong's company develops to this point, I'm afraid that the old American black palace will intervene immediately, and Qin Dong's movies will not be released globally, but in the end it will only be released in Southeast Asia.

Even at certain moments, it can only be screened in China to earn money from our compatriots.

"Shredded..."

After finishing the business, several people were drinking, smoking and chatting.

The scene was very pleasant.

"Speaking of which, Martin, you know I like basketball. Doesn't it make money? I just want to play an NBA team. I wonder if I'm eligible to buy it?"

While chatting, Qin Dong remembered what Beyoncé's husband said before, and asked by the way.

To be honest, Qin Dong didn't know if it would work or not, after all, the rules were different in each place.

Especially Laomei, there are too many dirty things.

As far as the NBA team is concerned, according to what Qin Dong heard in his previous life, it seems that people who are not old Americans, or people from countries that are not close to the old Americans are not eligible to own the team.

Of course, such rumors are just rumors, after all, Qin Dong in his previous life was just an ordinary person.

How exactly, there is no way of knowing.

Now that he has an idea and wants to buy an NBA team for fun, of course he has to ask clearly.

Don't wait until you really have to spend money to buy it and find out that you are rejected by Laomei for various reasons, that would be boring.

"You want to buy an NBA team?"

Martin was taken aback for a moment, this employer is really unconstrained.
