Chapter 1399 Bai Ningyuan's Misstep
However, if you think about it with your toes, it will take at least half a year for Meigou.com to develop to the point where it is head-on to compete with the band, so at present, there is no need to pay too much attention to Meigou.com.
What Bai Ning is more worthy of attention at the moment is the upcoming "War Tiger".
Out of the brotherhood between Bai Ningyuan and Wu Jing and his support and love, Bai Ningyuan not only invested a lot of money in this military film directed and acted by Wu Jing, but also took over the distribution of the film by Leku Film and Television, which almost reached the point of protecting "Breaking Tiger" in all aspects. Of course, doing this is just to make the most profit and recover funds.
Feelings are love, business is business. Bai Ningyuan injected such a large amount of money to allow Wu Jing to realize his dream. Then, Wu Jing's wish was fulfilled, and it was time for Bai Ningyuan to gain something.
Sometimes, the price of dreams is still quite expensive.
As early as a month ago, the publicity work on "War Tiger" was in full swing. In addition to traditional theater promotions, subway billboards, etc., the shadow of the trailer of "Breaking Tiger" can also be found in the Leku Video Network's patch advertisements.
No matter what, this intensive propaganda offensive has achieved certain public opinion results.
Seeing that the premiere of "Breaking Tiger" was not a few days away, Bai Ningyuan called Tang Yinglun and began communication between them about the situation related to "Breaking Tiger".
In fact, to be honest, it is not a good idea to choose "Breaking Tiger" to be released at this stage.
In July, in the domestic film industry, it exists as a domestic film protection month. During this period, almost no foreign blockbusters were introduced in China. Of course, this situation is not absolute. For example, this year, this domestic protection month has not brought more benefits to domestic films, but has further squeezed the market for domestic films. The reason is that many Hollywood blockbusters were released this summer.
"Transformers 3", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "Captain America", etc., as Chinese people's consumption level is increasing and domestic box office is also rising, the Chinese film market is increasingly valued by Hollywood and has become a more important overseas market for them.
Most of the big productions directed by some well-known domestic directors try their best to avoid being released at this time, so as to avoid head-on collisions with these Hollywood blockbusters and affecting box office revenue.
Although the old saying goes, the iron must be hard, and the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, it will always have an impact.
Who would be unable to get along with money?
Under such circumstances, the upcoming "War Tiger" is quite obvious.
"How is the arrangement for the release of "War Tiger" now?" Bai Ningyuan asked directly at Tang Yinglun on the other side of the phone.
After years of cooperation, Tang Yinglun has already known the temper of his boss. He knows that once he calls himself, there is definitely something wrong. Recently, the only thing that can attract him attention is "War Tiger". After hearing Bai Ningyuan's words, it confirmed Tang Yinglun's previous guess in his mind, so he was mentally prepared for this and said hesitantly to Bai Ningyuan on the other side of the phone: "Boss, there are still many problems that have not been solved..."
When Bai Ningyuan heard Tang Yinglun's words, he was stunned on the other side of the phone. In his impression, it seemed that Tang Yinglun should always be confident, with the confidence and cheerfulness unique to people in the entertainment industry. In the past, he rarely heard him complain to him, but now, many of this problem are probably just a tactful statement. Could it be that the release of "War Tiger" was not going well?
However, based on Bai Ningyuan's understanding of Tang Yinglun, he is not the kind of person who can be scammers. On the contrary, he will do his best to complete any tasks assigned to him by Bai Ningyuan. So now that he says that, it is not that he has not operated, but that it is more difficult to operate.
"What's going on?" After thinking about this, Bai Ningyuan did not show any dissatisfaction, but just asked calmly to the other side of the phone.
"There are nothing else. The most important thing is the problem of scheduling. There are so many Hollywood blockbusters released now, and there are still some things that cannot be arranged just by arranging these, so it has become a big problem to arrange a few more episodes. So far, the scheduling rate of "War Tiger" in China is about 5.5%. It is difficult to work even if you can persuade them to do their jobs." Tang Yinglun said with a wry smile.
He rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes full of fatigue. He could have been frustrated over this matter these days.
With the development of the Internet, more and more Hollywood blockbusters have begun to enter people's vision, no longer waiting passively for the introduction of radio and television as before. Those Hollywood big producers with huge visual special effects have opened their eyes all at once. It turns out that movies can be made like this.
Whether it is cultural invasion or industrial output, it is undeniable that the widespread dissemination of Hollywood movies in China has, in a certain way, improved the appreciation level of Chinese people.
Of course, this improvement in appreciation does not mean that the audience has a deeper understanding of the humanities or concepts reflected in the movie. It may be more of an improvement in sensory needs. But at least now, Chinese people no longer have the interest in watching those shoddy and low-cost productions.
These have always been what domestic films lack. For a long time, among domestic directors, movies are more about reflecting their own thoughts and exploring artistic heights, rather than just satisfying the audience's preferences. Moreover, when facing the audience, directors always have a superior mentality, thinking that the audience should understand their own ideas, rather than cater to the audience's needs.
Foreign film industry and domestic film culture are the biggest difference between the two sides.
Therefore, in such an era of information-filled, domestic films that cannot reverse their ideas and change their concepts inevitably declined, and left a stereotype in the minds of countless viewers that domestic films = low-cost production, shoddy production, without special effects and bad looks.
Regardless of whether it is admitted or not, this contempt and contempt for domestic films will continue to exist for a long time in the future.
Because of this, there is nothing strange about the low screening rate of "War Tiger" this time.
