Chapter 212 Global Distribution (Please subscribe and vote monthly!)
"It shouldn't happen!"
After being silent for a long time, Lin Zheng shook his head and denied his guess: "After all, human beings have wisdom, experience, and instruments. They can develop after many experiments. Even if they can do this, there should be no weirdness.
So simple."
Li Changsheng and others also nodded.
Lin Zheng's analysis still makes some sense.
However, everyone in the entire conference room, except Mei Jixing, felt a little worried because of this sudden brainstorm.
If humans and lost souls can advance with the times, then why can’t the weird ones?
After all... anything is possible.
At the same time, they also came up with an idea.
We need to rush to Yun City as soon as possible, where Xue Tong and others are.
Li Changsheng shook his head and put aside these thoughts for the time being. Then he looked at Lin Zheng, changed the subject, and asked:
"Director Lin, it's been nearly ten days since "Mr. Zombie" was released, and it should be confirmed that it will be ranked first in the Spring Festival. Shouldn't it be time for us to start the follow-up plan?"
After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Lin Zheng's expression changed slightly and he was freed from his thoughts.
There was even a bit of a smile on his face.
It must be said that Lin Zheng has been in a very happy mood during this period of time.
There is only one reason.
The results of "Mr. Zombie" are really great!
It was so good that it far exceeded everyone's expectations.
So good that even the "administrative ticket brushing tasks" that Daxia officials had prepared were not issued in time.
It quickly took the lead in the Spring Festival box office and won the first place with an absolute advantage.
Today is the tenth day of the release of "Mr. Zombie".
The total box office has reached 1.9 billion and is about to exceed the 2 billion mark.
The rising trend of box office sales is far from stopping.
Even yesterday, as a weekend, it achieved another glory and won a high box office of 270 million.
This shows that the potential of this movie is far from over.
That's right, so far, almost all of the box office sales of "Mr. Zombie" are real!
Daxia official, not a single vote has been received!
This is Lin Zheng's request, as a director who is gradually becoming more professional.
He still wants to see the real results of his movies.
However, you have to look at it and brush it up, but you still have to brush it up.
Lin Zheng needs more box office points, and Daxia officials also need the movie to be seen by more people.
Regardless of whether the actual results of "Mr. Zombie" are good or bad.
They must also try their best to make the box office and influence of this movie higher and greater!
But.
Now, the ten days agreed upon by Lin Zheng and Daxia officials have passed.
Although the actual results of "Mr. Zombie" far exceeded expectations.
However, this box office still has to be paid!
Moreover, the various subsequent publicity recommendations and award-winning matters cannot be left out.
Lin Zheng nodded: "Okay, let's start from today!"
He smiled and added in a somewhat naughty tone: "Haha, let Eternal Pictures see our strength."
Although the failure of "The Killer" is now a foregone conclusion.
But after all, the ghost organization has a lot of money, and Eternal Pictures also wants to lose face.
So they are still brushing it.
Let the box office of "The Killer" always be firmly behind "Mr. Zombie".
Even though Eternal Pictures has been so successful in maximizing ticket sales, the news has already spread among the public.
Even if the more box office they generate, the greater their losses will be, and the more Lin Zheng likes to see it.
But essence is essence.
No matter how well-known it is that "The Killer" has racked up votes, there will still be people who don't know about it.
Moreover, there is no shortage of people in the world who pretend to be stupid.
Lin Zheng has lost count of how many people he has seen on the Internet, saying that "The Killer" was just a narrow defeat, that "Mr. Zombie" won miserably, or that it won without force because of "the right location".
Although these extremely stupid remarks cannot really affect too many things.
But Lin Zheng doesn't like to see this argument either.
Previously, before "The Killer" was released, Eternal Pictures slandered and humiliated him.
Lin Zheng still remembered it clearly and vividly.
Now is the time to take revenge and go back.
That makes "The Killer" and Eternal Pictures a complete loser. They can't even say anything harsh, so naturally they are the best.
Li Changsheng nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will have a phone call with Mr. Luo Fei in a while."
"Right."
Lin Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "How is the global distribution going?"
The global release of "Mr. Zombie" is the common goal of Lin Zheng and Daxia officials.
Although there are also many disgusting countries and regimes in Blue Star.
But some people are innocent after all.
Moreover, in this era of strange recovery, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, and no one can survive alone.
Even someone as strong as Lin Zheng is worried that one, or even several, natural disaster-level strange things will suddenly appear somewhere.
With his current strength, it is already quite dangerous to face the weirdness of the Earthquake level.
Not to mention a natural disaster level.
Although there are seven levels of weirdness, if you really want to talk about it, the weirdness before Hongyi was almost not too strong.
But after the Red Clothes, each level up, the hints of influence are almost completely different!
Even if Lin Zheng can deal with it, these levels of weirdness can easily kill hundreds, thousands, or even nearly ten thousand people.
The more people die, the deeper people's fear will be, and the stronger the strangeness will be.
Completely forming a vicious cycle.
By then, Daxia would not be able to survive alone.
Therefore, whether it is for more box office points or more merit points.
Or to make the world more stable.
It is necessary to distribute Lin Zheng's films to countries all over the world.
It stands to reason that with "Mr. Zombie" achieving such amazing results and being distributed globally, it shouldn't be a problem.
After all, who doesn’t want to make money?
Therefore, Lin Zheng never took this matter seriously.
However, just after he asked this question, Li Changsheng suddenly frowned and his face darkened.
He glanced at Lin Zheng, without hiding anything, and said: "The situation is not very good. We contacted relevant companies in many countries, but they all rejected it, and the reason is Eternal Pictures."
"Rejected? Eternal Pictures?" Lin Zheng's expression froze and he immediately asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"Eternal Pictures sanctioned us. They told all distributors that if they want to continue to cooperate with them, they cannot distribute our movies."
Li Changsheng sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Eternal Pictures has almost a monopoly in the Blue Star film industry. If they really do this, then the matter will be really serious.
Unless within one or two years, our films can achieve such excellent results that distributors are willing to risk offending Eternal Pictures."
"We are still trying to figure out whether we can come up with enough conditions to impress these publishers."
Li Changsheng added, "Of course, even if this road doesn't work, we still have our own channels and ways, but it will be slower and we cannot achieve global release. We can only do it slowly in one place."
After all, Daxia has a large population and a huge market.
As a big country, of course it cannot be completely blocked.
But there is no doubt that Eternal Pictures has a monopoly in the entire film and television industry.
After all, we can still make them unable to fight back outside the borders of Daxia.
"This...injures the enemy one thousand, but damages oneself eight hundred? Are you mentally ill?"
Lin Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and asked immediately: "Is there no anti-monopoly law in this world?"
Li Changsheng gave him a strange look: "Of course there is, but it's useless. Companies like Eternal Pictures are reasonable and legal monopolies. In countries like Jinshan Country, the power of capital is no weaker than their political power."
Lin Zheng was so anxious that he took a breath of cold air and almost said something: "This kid is so scary."
"What kind of hatred does Eternal Pictures have against me? Didn't it just drag me in before and I didn't go?"
Lin Zheng's face was filled with confusion. He simply could not understand what Eternal Pictures was doing.
Even now, these publishers are threatened by them.
But they will definitely have objections to them. Cutting off people's financial opportunities is like killing their parents!
This kind of thing that harms others but does not benefit oneself is not what a mature capitalist would do.
"I'm also very surprised. Logically speaking, Eternal Pictures should come here specifically and offer to help us distribute it. This is in line with their business logic." Li Changsheng was also puzzled.
"There is definitely a problem!" Lin Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Eternal Pictures must have other purposes.
, they are deliberately targeting me."
Lin was thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out what the conflict was between himself and this behemoth in the Blue Star Capital world.
"Do you think this Eternal Pictures has anything to do with that ghost organization?" At this moment, Cao Desheng's voice suddenly sounded next to him.
With a thoughtful expression on his face, he said seriously: "They have a big problem themselves. They are looking for director Lin Zheng to make movies that are not profitable, instead of making more profitable movies.
After Director Lin refused, they made unprofitable movies and spent money to boost the box office..."
The more Cao Desheng talked, the more he felt that he had guessed it right, and he became excited: "Why are they doing this? Aren't they capitalists? What are they trying to do? Is it fun? It doesn't make sense!"
He looked at the people around him with a serious look on his face: "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
The conference room was quiet for two seconds, and then everyone turned their heads and focused their attention on Cao Desheng.
…
at the same time.
In a hidden and dark room, several virtual projections whose faces were unclear were sitting around each other.
Like Lin Zheng, Li Changsheng and others, they are discussing about "The Killer" and "Mr. Zombie".
The failure of "The Murderer" was not too unexpected by the ghost organization.
Just like Cao Desheng said, they know better than anyone else that there is absolutely no market for this kind of real horror film in Blue Star.
So from the beginning, they were prepared to lose money.
And their purpose is not to make money from this movie, but to make Blue Star audiences "fall in love" with horror movies through this movie.
Of course, judging from the current situation.
The movie "The Killer" did not complete its mission.
Moreover, it failed miserably.
"The situation is worse than we imagined." After a long silence, Black Shadow 1 said.
"So, are you considering giving up this plan?" Black Shadow No. 3 said.
"hehe."
Black Shadow 2 smiled: "But it didn't suffer too much. Judging from the data I collected, some people were still affected.
So we don’t need to be so pessimistic. This plan is effective, but it’s just less effective.”
"I think the reason why the effect is so bad is because of the existence of the movie "Mr. Zombie". I watched it and it is indeed a very good movie. Maybe we shouldn't release it at the same time as them." Black Shadow No. 4 said
.
Black Shadow No. 3: "So, are you blaming me? When I proposed to show it together, no one here stood up to stop it."
Black Shadow No. 4: "Of course not, I just mean that maybe in the future, we can make better movies. At least in terms of quality, we will not be defeated by "Mr. Zombie"."
Black Shadow No. 3: "So, you are saying that the movies I made are not good enough?"
Black Shadow No. 4: "You are so confident. Is it possible that you think your movie is very exciting?"
Black Shadow No. 1: "I don't think you two need to argue about these meaningless things, what do you think?"
The prestige of No. 1 was still quite high. As soon as he opened his mouth, the noise became so loud that the shadows of No. 3 and No. 4 were all shut up and no longer made any sound.
After a while, the dark figure No. 1 sitting in the middle said: "Using movies to influence the people is a very good direction. It was just a failure and a little loss of money. Everyone here should not think so.
Do you see that little loss? If that’s the case, then I will pay for the loss this time?”
When Black Shadow No. 1 said these words, No. 3 and No. 4 immediately became nervous.
I kept saying no.
Black Shadow No. 1 did not hold on, he thought for a while and continued: "Actually, according to our original experience, even if it fails this time, it won't be so miserable.
But now, there is that unstable factor called Lin Zheng.
We really need to change our thinking.
We have to make the movie better, or we can make it less scary for the time being and let the audience get used to it."
Black Shadow 2: “Maybe we can find some celebrities that the audience likes?”
Black Shadow No. 4: "There is no need to forcefully collide with this Lin Zheng. Since he has the support of Daxia Country behind him, it's okay for us to hide a little, right?"
Black Shadow No. 3: "Since you want to continue to implement it, then leave it to me. This time, I will come up with a result that satisfies everyone. As for Lin Zheng, I will still completely defeat him in a head-on confrontation."
Black Shadow No. 3 is obviously the person speaking on behalf of Eternal Pictures.
Although "The Killer" failed miserably in this Spring Festival war.
But he was still confident.
Not even the other shadows took this matter to heart.
This is the fact.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Although Eternal Pictures failed once, they still have a strong enough foundation.
Support them and let them regain their place.
It is completely impossible for a "Murderer" to wear out the audience's patience.
What's more, Eternal Pictures is still at its peak...
