Chapter 395: Reversing the situation

In the past two years, I have almost never found any problem of being difficult to get him. This also makes the employees under my command very admiration and respect the boss Ma Wei.

A week later, Marvel Studios and VK Video launched the Internet paid on demand for "X-Men 1". Watching "X-Men 1" online will cost 1 US dollars.

Of course, this consumption permission is only allowed to be used in restricted countries in Europe. If users in other places also want to watch online, they can purchase VC Video Member VP, so that they can watch for free and break through regional restrictions.

Such restrictions will also make some netizens look for so-called proxy servers. In this way, their IP address can be changed to France and Germany. Then they can also enjoy 1 USD online and watch "X-Men 1".

But this doesn't matter, because the Internet paid on-demand broadcast by Mavie was released on two and a half weeks after the movie was released. So there is not much time left. When the movie is released, this restriction will be cancelled.

At present, it is just targeting EU countries and making corresponding counterattacks against their own bans. Tell them that even if the movie is postponed, Mawei has a way to avoid being affected too much.

Sure enough, once this paid model was launched, it was immediately popular with European movie fans. They logged into the video website happily and then paid for "X-Men 1" online.

Since VK Video is the first video website in the world to use barrage, movie fans have a very different experience during the movie watching. Although there is less magnificent sound effects and huge screens in the cinema, it adds a lot of joy...

"Wow hahaha! I didn't expect to watch the latest hit movies online. I felt a little excited when I thought about it."

"Tell me loudly, I am the number one! How are you doing with the other 36,000 friends?"

"Marvel Studios is really awesome, and the EU governments have banned it like this. He has come up with a way to broadcast it online."

"The movie is so good! When it is released again, I must go to the cinema to watch it again."

...

Whether it is online paid broadcasting or theater charging, each has its own advantages. The theater charging is relatively high, but the screening time is limited. Online paid on-demand broadcasting is cheap, but there is no time limit.

After 7 days, the big boss Ma Wei sent a complete weekly report data to the big boss Ma Wei. "Chairman Ma Wei, "X-Men 1" was broadcast online for one week, and has received a total of 38 million paid on-demand broadcasts, bringing 38 million US dollars in revenue to the website. And in this week, the number of members of our V-Men Video increased by 3.5 million, bringing 17.5 million US dollars in profit to the website... Including advertising, we have also received a lot of cooperation intentions..."

Although the data received by Mawei is half the global box office results compared to the X-Men 1 (the box office gradually declined after the movie was released).

But this is a pure income that does not need to be shared with theaters. At most, the left hand is turned to the right hand, and VC Video will distribute the money to Marvel Studios according to the agreement. However, both companies are under the Mawei Group, which is obviously a waste of money...

Seeing Marvel Studios' "X-Men 1" broadcast in full swing online. The Ministry of Culture of European countries, which had originally banned him, could only stare at him, and there was no way.

Now they really shot themselves in the foot. They didn't get any benefits, and they were finally shown off by the other party. They lost the team and left a painful black history.

"It's so funny! Look at the good things done by the French Ministry of Culture and the German Ministry of Culture. The global box office of "X-Men 1" has reached nearly 500 million US dollars. Why are there any joint bans? Now, the other party directly made online paid broadcasts, and it was not affected much. In the end, it was a loss to the theater chain of its own country."

A senior netizen made a detailed comment on the whole incident. All major European theaters, including the films that reissue "X-Men 1", did not achieve a box office result that was comparable to it. This made the cinema deserted and completely in sharp contrast with other places...

Taking advantage of this momentum, Ma Wei felt it was time to shoot the trailer promotional video of "Iron Man"! This would expand the concept of the Marvel Universe more broadly. It laid the foreshadowing for the subsequent plot of "Avengers".

Even with the copyright of the "X-Men" hero character, the subsequent "Avengers" can also add heroes such as Uncle Wolf. I believe that at that time, it will be even better, after all, they are all screen characters that the audience likes.

"John, send someone to contact Robert Downey Jr., tell him that we are about to start filming the trailer promotional video of "Iron Man". And invite him to Russia." Mavie sent a message directly to the global president of Mavie Pictures. "Okay, Chairman Mavie, I understand! I will send someone to contact him immediately!" President John, after receiving the news, immediately replied. The boss successfully resolved the ban crisis in EU countries, which made all employees of the company's admiration for him deepen.

That afternoon, Robert Downey, who was idle and resting at home, suddenly received a call. However, this call made him, who was originally like a salted fish, instantly bounce off the sofa!

"Hey, hello! Who can I ask?" He asked on the phone with a depressed excitement. In fact, he knew very well that this was the landline phone number of Marvel Studios. It was just called from different offices.

"Hello, is it Robert Downey Jr.? We are from Marvel Studios. I wonder if Mr. Mawei has time in the past two days. Our Chairman Mawei wants to invite you to Russia to shoot the trailer and promotional video of "Iron Man". "The female assistant in charge of contact said to him with a friendly attitude.

When he heard that there was work to do and it was the Marvel hero movie that he had been looking forward to for a long time, Robert Downey Jr. was so excited that he stood up from the sofa, "Are you doing these two days? I have time! No problem!"

To be honest, since he recovered from the drug rehabilitation center last time, Robert Downey Jr. has only filmed a commercial trailer of "Avengers". I thought I would receive a formal movie announcement soon. Unexpectedly, Marvel Studios actually filmed "Spider-Man" 1 and 2 series, and then "X-Men" and it was all very popular.
