In the scenes, he took full care of the audience and created a blockbuster that is suitable for all ages, which is worth learning from all filmmakers."
The top 20 of "Empire" are "The Avengers", "Escape from Tehran", "The Dark Knight Rises", "007: Skyfall" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild". "The Fantasy of Pi"

There are only two RMB-denominated movies, "Avatar" and "Transformers 3," both of which are Hollywood blockbusters. Now, Chinese-language movies have finally taken back the honor.
While Thai囧 is selling well, there is another piece of news that has made headlines.
Wanda Group acquired AMC Cinemas, the second largest cinema chain company in North America. AMC Cinemas is a cinema chain company founded in Atlanta in 1992. It is an American multiplex theater company with 346 cinemas and a total of 5,028 screens. Among them, IMAX
With 120 screens and 2,170 3D screens, it is the largest IMAX and 3D screen operator in North America.
The theaters owned by AMC are concentrated in the centers of large cities in North America. It owns 23 of the top 50 theaters with the largest box office in North America. The total box office accounts for 20% of the North American market share. It is a huge company. This acquisition took a long time to negotiate.
More than two years. Because AMC is an unlisted company (it was once listed and later privatized by JPMorgan Chase Bank), it cannot directly acquire equity, and the transactions involved are more complicated.
Originally it was Dream Chase International Holdings Group that wanted to acquire AMC Cinemas, but the U.S. government determined that Dream Chase International Holdings Group owns Summit Entertainment Group and its business scope includes film companies. However, the U.S. government stipulates that film companies cannot directly control theater chains.
company.
For this reason, Chaimeng could only abandon the acquisition plan, and then ask Wanda Group, which holds shares in each other, to come forward and propose the acquisition plan again.
In recent years, affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the profitability of North American theater chains has been very poor, and the AMC theater chain has high debts. It also intends to seek new capital to enter the market and turn losses into profits, which is why this acquisition plan was made. The acquisition
Upon completion, Wanda Group will plan to list AMC Cinemas on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.
By controlling Wanda Cinemas and AMC Cinemas at the same time, Wanda Group will become the world's largest cinema chain company and the largest IMAX screen and 3D screen operator, accounting for almost half of the global share. The expected profit will exceed that of Wanda Group.
Income from real estate.
With Wanda Group as a natural ally that holds shares in each other, AMC Cinemas is controlled by Dream Chase International Holdings Group.
A truly super-first-class giant entertainment company has taken shape.
In this regard, the media in China and the United States have paid widespread attention.
The American media believes that Chinese films will flood into the U.S. market by leveraging this shareholder trend, and they are even more worried that Summit Entertainment, which has interests in it, will control more theater resources and form a monopoly. The Chinese media hopes that the AMC theater chain can start a monopoly.
Although it plays a role in promoting Chinese movies, it is also worried that Wanda Group will not adapt to the environment and fall into the quagmire of AMC's losses.
However, Wanda Group and Dream Chaser Group are full of confidence in this acquisition plan. Wanda CEO Boss Wang attended the press conference and announced that the original AMC operation team will continue to manage AMC theaters. At the same time, he said: "We are optimistic about the development of the film industry. AMC
The theater chain will be a major driver of Wanda Group's transformation. We have never worried that AMC will not turn a profit. What we need to consider is how to achieve sustainable development in the future."
When asked by a reporter whether it would help Chinese films enter the U.S. market, Boss Wang said: "In principle, we naturally hope that more Chinese films can be appreciated by American audiences. But being a theater chain is not a charity, and market principles will always
It comes first and cannot be recognized by American audiences. AMC will not promote such Chinese films. We can only say that we will ensure a fair economic environment for Chinese films."
Another reporter asked whether Summit Entertainment would monopolize North American film screenings by virtue of its relationship with Wanda Group. Boss Wang said: "I don't even know Mitchell Bruce. You ask if we will join forces. We and Summit Entertainment are
Two companies that do not interfere with each other, AMC does not have the ability to monopolize screenings, nor will it monopolize them. This is not in AMC's interests. Please rest assured."
Having said that, worry is inevitable.
But things have become like this and cannot be changed. American theater companies basically have the shadow of major studios behind them. Every major studio will always reach out to the upstream and downstream industries. Summit Entertainment wants to secure its position as a major studio
, we must also intervene in the upstream and downstream of this industry to reduce our own constraints.
This is an unspoken rule.
It's just a tacit understanding.

On the day after New Year's Day, the crew of "Iron Man 3" erupted with huge cheers. After six months of intermittent shooting, "Iron Man 3" was finally completed. It took a week to edit the original copy of the film into a film.
It was handed over to Summit Entertainment, and Shao Shuaijun and his family of three flew back to the mainland.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching again, and Shao Shuaijun suddenly realizes that he has not spent the New Year with peace of mind for several years, and his son is already three years old. Speaking of which, since 2010, he has almost only made one movie a year.
He didn't work very hard on filming, but he had too many production projects, which took up most of his time.
There is hardly a day when I can completely relax.
After visiting some leaders and friends in Beijing, the family of three rushed back to their hometown.
Flying all over the world, I can hardly remember what my hometown looks like. The changes in my hometown have been quite big in the past few years. The main reason is that Shao Shuaijun has become rich and has invested in many public welfare undertakings in his hometown, building roads and bridges and setting up factories, which has made the whole
The small town is full of affluent vitality. It doesn’t cost much, but it can benefit the countryside.
Moreover, many people I know from my hometown have joined dream-chasing companies, and there are quite a few millionaires who came out of my hometown.
A great director, a rich man, an international figure, and bringing benefits to everyone, Shao Shuaijun is about to become a mythical figure in the town, the object of worship of thousands of girls.
Therefore, this year is very lively, and the door of my hometown is almost broken down.
