Chapter 1110: Actively stir up the topic

Latest website: Seriously, after watching the movie, most of the audience couldn't believe that it was really made by Li Changheng and Annie.

The two of them are not like rookies at all, but it makes people feel that the performance is very natural.

Fortunately, both the audience and the media, thinking that this story is the personal experience of the two, after thinking about it carefully, they feel that they are just acting their own words.

It also shows that the two have been in love for 8 years, but their relationship is as stable and fiery as ever.

This has disappointed many people, but it has also made more ordinary people happy, feeling that they can still believe that love really exists.

While other capitalist countries in Europe, plus several South Asian countries, only made more than 3 million US dollars at the box office, which is surprising, but at the same time it seems that this is normal.

But Li Changheng and the people at Lianmei were not worried.

Because of the principle of long-term screening, as well as the United States and other countries that have already released it, the attitudes of the audience and the media towards the film all show that the film is indeed very good.

As long as the film has always been well received, even if it is a human-to-human transmission model, it can slowly attract audiences to the cinema.

-----

As overseas box office data spread among the media in major capital countries, "Roman Holiday", which was originally popular and attracted a lot of attention, became even more popular like a fire with gasoline.

In addition to the "Mirror", "Shi Wen Zao Bao" and the major media under the media group in the United States where Li Changheng holds 7.5% of the shares, they touted the movie and Annie's acting skills a lot.

In other countries and major media, there have also been a lot of praise for the quality of the film, as well as the performance of Annie and Li Changheng in the film.

The only thing that made Li Changheng a little unhappy was that many film critics actually called him in the movie as Annie's foil.

In the eyes of 99% of the male audience, Annie is the soul of the whole movie and the one that is indispensable.

Li Changheng thought about it carefully, and actually felt that his role could be played by any handsome and tall actor.

But replacing Annie with other actresses may have better acting skills, but Li Changheng himself felt that "Roman Holiday" lost his soul.

After all, preconceived impressions can sometimes make people exclude any other options.

Immediately, Li Changheng planned to take the initiative to provoke the dissatisfaction of the female audience.

It's not that Li Changheng boasted that the female audience attracted to the cinema by Roman Holiday is far more than any previous film.

And at least 80% of them went to the cinema because they wanted to see him.

In this case, how could Li Changheng miss the opportunity to stir up a topic.

As long as Li Changheng and Annie are more important and who has contributed more to the film and attract more female audiences to the cinema, the box office will definitely increase by 10% or 20%.

After all, when women go to the movies, they usually bring their boyfriends or husbands to the cinema with them.

When Li Changheng instructed the media in the United States, England, island countries and other places to take the lead in provoking female audiences' dissatisfaction with the news in the media that the so-called Li Changheng was just a foil.

As expected by Li Changheng, the box office showed a clear upward trend.

When the women's boxing group in the United States joins, things get out of control.

In the beginning, it was just a female fan of Li Changheng, dissatisfied that the male audience took advantage of the media to suppress their idols.

But after female boxing joined, things changed completely.

On the contrary, more people said that Anne dominated and was a victory for women.

Li Changheng didn't care whether Annie stole the limelight or not. Instead, he smiled and watched the box office increase rapidly, so he didn't mean to stop it at all.

The box office has exploded, and of course it will attract more cinemas and cinema chains in countries that have not yet released it, and spontaneously want to get the right to broadcast the film in order to make money.

But this is not the time when Li Changheng had to compromise like a theater in order to set box office records.

The movie is very popular, that is a money-making machine, so Li Changheng directly sells copies to those theater chains.

The reason is very realistic. Since it was not included in the list of the first batch of premieres by United Pictures, these cinemas are either located in the central part of the United States where the population is not dense.

Otherwise, even Hollywood has not really developed distribution channels, or countries and regions of the market.

In the past, in these places, not only was it extremely difficult to count box office data, but box office stealing was everywhere.

And many local movie theaters basically buy copies at half price or lower after the movie is released.

Even copy it directly.

But this time, because the movie is so famous, even in some South American countries that are hostile to the United States, many media only report on Li Changheng and Annie, which has aroused great curiosity among local audiences.

This made many movie theaters, in order to get copies as soon as possible and take away the market of local competitors, took the initiative to find Lianmei Pictures.

And Li Changheng's reply is also very simple, a copy of 30,000 US dollars, and at the normal price of 2,3,000 US dollars, to buy at least 3 copies of other movies that are backlogged in the film library of Lianmei Pictures.

The former is $30,000 a copy, which is definitely a high price for remote areas such as South America.

The latter three copies of films that have already been released are entirely for the purpose of cultivating the market and expanding the popularity of Lianmei in the world.

The higher the popularity, the better the valuation of Luenmei.

Li Changheng's plan to use Lianmei as bait to acquire more shares in the media group is also more favorable.

From the perspective of the world in the future, making movies is actually not a good business.

It seems like a cost of 10 million, but from time to time, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, it really makes a lot of money.

But money is not easy to make, and no one can guarantee that their movies will always be loved by audiences.

Moreover, the cycle from filming to release is not only calculated in years, but the recovery of funds can only be obtained after the film is released~lightnovelpub.net~ or even longer.

If you are not careful, you will lose money, and you will have to compete with your Hollywood counterparts and Europe.

The most important thing is that for a pure film company, the ceiling of the market value is there.

Even if it is merged with the media group, the status of the film production department is always lower than that of the print media and television departments.

It is better to take advantage of the explosion of market value and take the opportunity to merge with the media group at a high price to obtain more shares of the media group.

As for whether the media group will agree, it also involves a company that is bigger and stronger. When it cannot find a project that will break out again in a short period of time in its core areas, it has to develop its corporate strategy in an all-round way.

Just like Viacom's acquisition of Paramount in the future, the media group occupying the upstream industry is actually very willing to integrate with the Hollywood Eight.

And a few years ago, Randall Hirst was willing to use the media group shares in exchange for 20% of the shares of Lianmei Pictures, which already showed that Randall and others had already wanted to enter Hollywood.
