Chapter 534 The showdown between the kings of science fiction!

Let an American movie be released first in Asia.

From the perspective of the top management at Twentieth Century Fox, this is an absolutely idiotic move!

The person who did this move was the same person who had previously won the distribution rights of this film with a high profile.

In Jacob's opinion, this is something worthy of ridicule.

Jacob, as a senior executive of Twentieth Century Fox, felt that this matter was extremely stupid.

That Takeshi Iwata doesn't look like a fool, but this time he really did something stupid.

But anyway, Twentieth Century Fox has nothing to lose.

So far, they have recovered quite a bit of their costs.

One hundred million.

Real gold and silver.

In addition, there is also a partial share.

It can be said that there should be no problem in recovering costs.

Well, to say the least, this movie was a success.

In fact, as far as today's major Hollywood companies are concerned, they are really afraid of losing money.

Don't think about making money first, think about not losing money first.

Especially some big productions.

The larger the production, the greater the investment, and the greater the risk of losing money.

Of course, in a place like Hollywood, big productions are absolutely welcome.

Big production, lots of money invested.

So, what are the advantages of at least one?

Let's settle the account.

Just launder money.

In short, many methods can be used.

This "Titanic" is a very, very good example.

How does it work specifically...

Of course this is the secret.

Well, Takeshi Iwata is a guy who doesn’t seem to be an idiot.

Will there be any problems if he does this?

Jacob is considered to be the guy on the entire 20th Century Fox board of directors who is more concerned about this issue.

Others are very satisfied with the current situation.

He was the only one who was still a little worried.

It doesn't matter, those guys still care about money, and moreover, they are more connected with Wall Street.

In short, you are the one who really does big things.

However, Jacob had some connections after all, so, following Takeshi Iwata's approach, he planned to inquire from others.

who?

"Hey Jacob, my old friend."

"Ha, long time no see."

"You two brothers have been doing well lately."

"this……"

"Ha ha……"

The Weinstein brothers, these two guys collaborated with Taketa Iwata.

Jacob had looked down upon these two guys before.

These two are Disney dogs.

Twentieth Century Fox has done a lot of things with us.

But, right now, that doesn't matter.

The Weinstein brothers have been doing really well recently. They have launched many projects, especially Oscar-related ones.

Let's put it this way, I really made a lot of money.

However, when Jacob mentioned Takeshi Iwata's operation of "Titanic"...

"Hehe, neither of us know what he thinks."

"Yes, Iwata Takeshi, a Japanese, is indeed always surprising."

The two brothers would definitely say so.

Of course, Jacob also understood that his position was even more embarrassing compared to Takeshi Iwata.

So, we have to come up with some benefits.

"We have some films to shoot next, and these two are very capable producers."

As soon as these words came out, the Weinstein brothers were naturally very happy.

These two guys are useless and can't afford to be early adopters.

"That would be great."

"That's so generous."

"So, the situation of Takeshi Iwata..."

"Oh, this, that's very simple, Bob, tell me."

"Yeah, it's actually very simple. Takeshi Iwata used his influence in Asia. He not only released "Titanic" first in Japan, but also vigorously released the film throughout China."

"ah?"

Jacob originally thought that what he heard seemed to be a little different from what this brother Bob said.

But Bob couldn't stop here.

After all, in the eyes of the Weinstein brothers, the relationship between Takeshi Iwata and 20th Century Fox is a cooperative relationship, right?

The better Takei Iwata's work is and the more money the movie sells, then 20th Century Fox should be happier.

This is correct.

So...

"It's really amazing! The data doesn't seem to be fully available now, but Japan is already very popular. Not only in Tokyo, but also across the country, there seems to be a movie-going craze.

Mr. Jacob, you probably don't know much about the situation in Japan.

In Japan, it is divided into Kanto and Kansai.

Don't underestimate this difference, people on both sides look down on each other quite a lot.

Now, this situation is happening all over Japan.

This is a big trend.”

Jacob's face looked very strange, and the more he listened, the stranger he became.

Bob didn't think too much at all and continued talking.

"It's not just Japan, it's already been released in China. As for that...actually, the most important thing to talk about is mainland China, because the film market here is not very good.

But what do you say?

As soon as "Titanic" was released, it caused a huge craze in mainland China.

This hot one is... you know what?

Many records were broken one by one.

It can be said that the speed is very fast.

Of course, these records are not a big deal in Hollywood, after all, there is not much money.

However, this is very powerful in mainland China.

Many media outlets reported on this matter.

Moreover, many people are saying that this movie has truly activated the Chinese film market.

This is a money-making effect."
