Chapter Eleven
Before the release, Yuehua's box office expectations for "The Wandering Earth": the mainland exceeded 2 billion and overseas US$100 million...
It can ensure that the movie is profitable.
Overseas performance is very important, especially in Europe and North America. The subsequent copyright transactions even bring more benefits than the box office share!
For example, the two "Journey to the West" that Yuehua has already released, I immediately burned and paid $16 million to buy out the copyright of North American online...
The North American box office of these two movies is $50 million. After deducting the distribution, the theater chain intercepts and promotional expenses are also available, and the box office share is less than $8 million...
The most important basis for streaming media to purchase movie copyright is box office!
"Old Cannon" has a box office of 1.395 million US dollars in North America, and after reading it, it burned $1 million to buy out the North American copyright...

Nagadaji was born in China, and then he was an American and an elite class, so he was so dissatisfied with the fact that he was so dissatisfied with the fact that he was promoted to the top!
This led to his understanding of the Western world that he only knew how to see flowers in the mist.
This kind of sentimental celebrity must have taken the fresh and refreshing route of Bai Zuo Xiao, which is not surprising at all.
Pulitzer Prize winner Bai Xiude once said: It took me more than a year to understand that any of the "National Affairs Axe" who speaks fluent English knows nothing about their people, and even the ancient city of Chongqing. It is simply a matter of seeking fish in China to find them to understand some of the actual situation in China. These people live in English, and they say, think about, dream about English. Compared to Chongqing accompanying capital, they are more keen on a cafe on a street corner of Manhattan.
Maybe in their opinion, Manhattan's marijuana is innocent!
This is a very typical Chinese intellectual who claims to be elite!
More than half a century has passed, and this group of people has made no progress at all.
He is a successful performing artist in the entertainment industry - the so-called success means making money, being famous, and the public knows that as for whether he makes particularly good music or something, I'm sorry, it's not within the evaluation range.
Those who are in the entertainment industry...
There is a phenomenon:
Almost all Hollywood stars will criticize ***, sing love and embrace immigration. Why?
Hollywood is the base camp of the Democratic Party and they need to indicate their position!
This fits their class position!
Of course they can say that they love immigrants. Anyway, these immigrants will never live in their homes, but they may live next to the middle class and take the opportunity to show off their morals. If they don’t say that they embrace immigrants, they may be boycotted and have a bad reputation.
However, universal medical insurance and high taxes and benefits will seriously hit these celebrities in the entertainment industry, causing their income to be damaged and making them very upset. If it is France, it will require a 70% tax!
Of course, I will boycott it.
The class position determines the sidelines, which makes him look down on some demands of the general public, thinking that the mainstream is the real mainstream.
Self-righteous elite!

Zhang Junsheng continued to talk: "The development of derivatives of science fiction movies is very promising. For example, last year's "George" is a data that the derivative licensing of "George" has reached 400 million US dollars!"
"What about "The Wandering Earth"? I think there are many authentic and authorized peripheral retail stores on Taobao?"
“…We have half of the derivatives of “The Wandering Earth” made by ourselves, and the other half is handed over to other developers through authorization. So far, we have created a complete derivatives chain…”
"This is time-consuming, right?"
"Of course, it takes time and effort, but once the laying is done, we can counter Hollywood!"
"That's why you are committed to building China's film industry?"
"right!"
"…Why? We already have Hollywood... We can make "The Wandering Earth" in Hollywood... I believe that the speed and efficiency will be faster, and we don't have to wait for five years!"
"I want to correct it. Hollywood is not ours, it's Americans!"
"You're disgusted with Hollywood?"
"That's not, Hollywood belongs to the whole world, but the Americans and the American government are always making money!"
Zhang Junsheng added: "Let me talk about the data, the peak, after reading it, the taxes collected by the federal government in recent years are as high as 3.2 billion US dollars. I am speechless. If China can have a film industry like Hollywood, this money will not need to be handed over to the US government at all!"
"But you are a Hollywood director..."
"But I am Chinese! What I am considering is China's interests, not Hollywood or the United States, nor all mankind!"
After looking at her short and tight eyes, Zhang Junsheng said directly: "I am particularly disgusted with those who advocate American values. Why should American values be accepted by us?"
"Yes, the so-called "modern society" is basically a society with the United States as the model. Such a society is advanced in many aspects. In politics, law, and technology, there are too many things worth learning and becoming targets, but they are not the only country in the world... I don't like the United States!"
"Hollywood has been making fast food in recent years. In fact, there were many outstanding Hollywood science fiction blockbusters ten years ago, but the overall innovation in recent years has disappeared. Now it is nothing more than a superhero fighting with another..."
"We can't just repeat this thing just because everyone likes it. Just like there are different cuisines in China, you can't always make fast food just because of making money from fast food. Whether it's art or movies, it should open different doors for us. This may be risky. Some people like it and some people don't like it, but you can't let everyone choose it."
"Hollywood-style blockbusters are always individuals who save the world. However, in the adult minds of Chinese people who have been developing for five thousand years, a certain country or even a certain entity can solve planetary disasters alone. Don't even think about such fantasy. We must rely on the collective! So we are humans!"
"We have talked to many American film production companies about "The Wandering Earth" before, but they don't understand why they have to bring the Earth to wander... There is no such thing as rural sentiment in their values..."
"So, in "The Wandering Earth", humans must wander. If an American cowboy is just bringing his wife, girlfriend, gun and dog, and you can see that there is nothing valuable, and you will leave after slapping your butt. You don't want an old house!"
I sprayed it all, it was a bit embarrassing...
The American value system he advocates is not worth mentioning in Zhang Junsheng's opinion!
"What are your plans afterwards?"
"Continue to make big productions. The science fiction movies have already been launched, "The Wandering Earth", "The Micro Era", "The Devourer" and "The Cloud of Poetry". We also bought Mr. He Xi's "Six Paths of All living beings", Mr. Wang Jinkang's "Ants"... The next step is to try an action movie, Wu Jing is planning "Wolf Warrior 2"..."
