Chapter 2 "Running Man"

Many people expressed concerns: the act of burning after reading will cause the theater to close...

Although he burned his speech after reading it:

“We love movies, but we love the following things: providing access to movies for residents living in small towns without cinemas;

Let anyone in any location see the new film at the same time;

Give filmmakers more ways to share art. The above items are not independent!"

Traditional forces are still worried. The most important thing is that many cable TV stations have gradually decreased in paying users, and advertising revenue has also decreased accordingly. At the same time, the paid members of the review and idiot have reached 130 million, and advertising revenue has reached 8 billion US dollars...

Many people can’t understand Zhang Junsheng’s approach, he also has a theater chain in his hands!

Until the beginning of this year, the spokesperson who was burned after reading announced that about 80 original movies were launched every year, and thirty original works except for the fifty movies released in theaters will be launched only on their own video platforms.

"The video platform playback effect is still not as good as theaters. 3D movies, big investments, and big productions can only experience that feeling in theaters!"

But, it's useless!

Last December, Disney President Robert Iger publicly announced that Disney would terminate its cooperation agreement with Yujue and will launch its own streaming service in 2019, no longer providing new content to Yujue and...

Although Disney has 6% of the shares burned after reading...

In the early days of the development of "After Reading", Hollywood and "After Reading" were still intimate partnerships. At that time, "After Reading" became an online broadcasting platform for Hollywood film companies' works, and purchased the copyright of the film from them at a high price. After the theater screening ended, it became the main source of film copyright income.

However, with the increase in the number and investment of self-made movies, Hollywood is not only facing the grabbing of the resources of well-known directors and creators, but more importantly, the more diverse and rich film types provided by original movies, which separate some of the audience and box office.

Under this development trend, traditional Hollywood film companies that have been passively "cheese" have taken action to resist.

The same goes for Warner Bros!

It also launched its own streaming business. At the same time, Warner reclaimed a batch of copyrights for film and television content, such as the old series "Friends" and "Emergency Room Story"...

For this reason, I paid nearly $300 million!

Let me add that "Friends" is still the most popular comedy in the United States. Even though it has been replayed more than 100 times, the ratings are still 8 million...

The six leading actors signed a subsequent share agreement with "Friends", and each person can earn nearly 20 million US dollars every year from the copyright of "Friends"!

This is mainly due to David Somon, the actor who plays Rose, who said, ‘Either raise the salary together, or six of us leave!’

There is also Courteney Cox, the actor who plays Monica, who takes the initiative to cut her salary…

Six people formed a small team and asked everyone to pay the same salary so that they could share the success of the show!

It finally proved that he was right!

This is also the reason why the six actors each paid as much as $1 million in the last season!

He even obtained the copyright share of the TV series for the next twenty years!

Back to the topic.

In the past, in order to ensure the box office revenue of movies, the North American film market set up a long theater window period (up to several months to six months). However, after streaming media entered the market, the window period for some movies was shortened to one month or several weeks, and even skipped the theater link and directly discussed distribution cooperation with the film crew.

But the streaming media will burn more than just reading it!

Amazon and Apple have begun to enter the market.

The situation is already very clear. No matter how theaters choose to protest and boycott, it seems a bit "insignificant" before the streaming media offensive...

Faced with the impact of streaming media, in order to gain audiences as early as possible with streaming movies, Hollywood's six major players also stood opposite theatres on window issues.

It doesn’t matter to Zhang Junsheng. He has less than 60 theaters in North America. Even if they are vacant, they won’t lose much money!

Wanda was so upset that AMC Cinema acquired its American rival, Carmack Cinema for $1.1 billion, becoming the largest cinema in the United States, and then began to lose money...

According to the extent of Lao Wang's death, it is estimated that in a few years, AMC theaters will be bought back by the local American consortium at half price...

It is not without alliances after reading. Comcast took the shares of Disney and Warner Bros. after withdrawing, becoming the second shareholder of Yuehouji.

The works of the peak will also be burned after reading...

...

Suzhou was already hot enough in early June, and even in the afternoon, there was no cold feeling. Crowded in the filming venue of "The Wandering Earth", the seven members of "Running Man" visited the "Space Station", "Dungeon", "Engine", and "Minicar" under the leadership of Delire Bar...

Deng Chao, standing in the space capsule, was stunned: "...we created it ourselves?"

Di Lireba looked proud: "Yes, it took five years!"

“…Wow, this is too…”

"Is it amazing? Last year's "Gravity" was also filmed here!"

The director of "Running Man" couldn't help asking, "…how much did it cost?"

"The cost of all is close to 1.6 billion yuan, and these can be recycled, just change the appearance slightly!"

Guo Fan walked in, and Zhang Junsheng was following behind him...

"Director Guo..."

"Dr. Zhang!"

The crew was very excited...

Although Zhang Junsheng has been a little unemployed in the past three years, he still made a work like "Gravity" that rewrites the history of Chinese science fiction films!

The female lead in "Gravity" is Xu Yan, and the second male lead is Matthew McConaughey. China won a box office of RMB 2.6 billion, with a box office of RMB 80 million in North America and a global box office of more than US$600 million!

North America failed to make a big splash, mainly because Zhang Junsheng changed the plot to the International Space Station. Xu Yan's identity is Chinese, and half of the movie is in Chinese exchange...

The staff put headsets on Zhang Junsheng, and the director announced: "The theme of this issue is 'Rebels VS Wandering Earth'... There are two rebels hidden among you nine. The rebels' mission is to kill the other seven..."

"Nine? Directors, only eight of us?"

"…There is another actor Wu Jing, everyone welcomes applause!"

Wu Jing walked over with a smile and said with a critical blow: "I just received an invitation at the beginning. I heard that I was starring in a variety show with Director Zhang Junsheng, and I was shocked!"

Zhang Junsheng: "...Isn't this to promote "The Wandering Earth". In five years, with an investment of 2.5 billion yuan, it's time to meet soon, so of course I'm nervous..."

"The Wandering Earth?"

“When will it be released?”

Yuan Hong next to him answered: "June 24th!"

"How much is June?"

Delire Bar answered: "No. 24!"

"After the twenty?"

“No. 24!”

Zhang Junsheng responded: "Okay, the recording is over, I can leave now!"

"…ah?"
Chapter completed!
