To be honest, 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 rookies at all, but it makes people feel that the performance is very natural.

Fortunately, both the audience and the media thought that this story was the personal experience of the two of them. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that they were just acting their own words.

It also shows that after 8 years of love between the two, their relationship is as stable and intense as ever.

This disappointed many people, but it also delighted more ordinary people, who felt that they could still believe that love really existed.

While the box office of other capital countries in Europe and several countries in South Asia is only more than 3 million US dollars, it is surprising, but at the same time it seems normal.

But Li Changheng and the United Artists are not worried.

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

As long as the movie is well received, even the model of person-to-person transmission can slowly attract audiences to the movie theater.

-----

As the overseas box office data spread among the media in major capital countries, "Roman Holiday", which was already very popular and concerned, became even more popular like gasoline being poured on it.

In addition to the "Mirror", "Shiwen Zaobao" and the major media under the media group in the United States where Li Changheng controls 7.5% of the shares, they are a lot of touting the movie and Annie's acting skills.

In other countries and major media, there were also a lot of praises affirming the quality of the movie, as well as Annie and Li Changheng's performance in the movie.

The only thing that made Li Changheng a little upset was that many film critics actually said that he was Annie's foil in the movie.

In the eyes of ninety-nine percent of the male audience, Anne is the soul of the whole movie and the one who is indispensable.

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

But replacing Anne with other actresses might have better acting skills, but Li Changheng himself felt that "Roman Holiday" would lose its soul.

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

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

It's not that Li Changheng boasted that the number of female audiences attracted to the cinema by Roman Holiday far exceeded any previous movie.

And at least 80% of them walked into 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 there is hype about who is more important, Li Changheng or Annie, who has contributed more to the film and attracts more female audiences to the cinema, the box office will definitely increase by 10 to 20 percent.

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

When Li Changheng ordered the media in the United States, England, and Japan to take the lead in provoking female audiences' dissatisfaction with the news in the media that Li Changheng was just a foil.

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

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

In the beginning, she was just a female fan of Li Changheng, dissatisfied with the fact that the male audience suppressed her idol with the help of the media.

But after the female boxer joined, things changed completely.

On the contrary, more people say that Anne is dominant, which is a victory for women.

Li Changheng didn't care if Annie stole the limelight, but watched the box office increase rapidly with a smile, so he didn't have the slightest intention to stop it.

------

If the box office explodes, it will of course attract more movie theaters and theaters in countries that haven’t released it yet. They will spontaneously want to get the right to broadcast the movie in order to make money.

But this time is not the time when Li Changheng has to compromise like the theaters in order to set a box office record.

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

The reason is very realistic. Since United Artists was not included in the list of the first batch of premieres, these movie theaters are either located in the middle of the United States where the population is not densely populated.

Or it is that 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 collect box office data, but box office theft was even more common.

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

Or even copy it yourself.

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

That's why many movie theaters, in order to get copies as soon as possible and take away the market from local competitors, took the initiative to approach United Artists Pictures.

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

A copy of the former is 30,000 US dollars, which is definitely a high price for remote areas such as South America.

The latter three copies of the film that have already been released are entirely for the purpose of cultivating the market and expanding the popularity of United Artists around the world.

The higher the popularity, the more favorable the valuation of Luenmei.

It is also more beneficial to Li Changheng's plan to use United Artists as a bait to obtain more shares in the media group.

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

It seems that the cost of 10 million, from time to time, explodes tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, which is indeed a big profit.

But money is not so easy to earn, and no one can guarantee that their films will always be liked by the audience.

Moreover, the cycle from filming to release is not only calculated in years, the recovery of funds has to wait until the film is released, or even longer to get it~lightnovelpub.net~ If you don’t pay attention, you will lose money, and you have to be the same as your Hollywood counterparts and Europe compete.

The most important thing is that for a pure film company, the ceiling of 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 TV departments.

It's better to take advantage of the explosive market value and take advantage of 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 bigger and stronger company. When it can't find a project that will explode again in a short period of time in the core field, it has to develop a 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 Big Eight.

Moreover, a few years ago, Randall Hearst was willing to exchange the shares of the media group for 20% of the shares of United Artists, which already showed that Randall and others had already wanted to enter Hollywood.
