1052. Digging a pit?
The reason why Wang Yifan and the others agreed to hand over "Infernal Affairs" to Ali Media as the pioneer of the globalization strategy of film is not just because Wang Yifan is not optimistic about the North American market of "Infernal Affairs".
Another point is that Wang Yifan is not optimistic, but this is a very favor for Ali Media.
Therefore, Ali Media must repay you.
This is very important for the domestic publicity of "Infernal Affairs".
However, Wang Yifan put forward a condition that Ali Media is very puzzled.
That is, "Infernal Affairs" cannot be released simultaneously, and it must be released in China at least one week first!
Whether it is Ali Media, the Light and Shadow of Times, and Cao Meng, they are not very able to understand this.
Because under normal circumstances, for the sake of publicity, it is definitely better to release the gimmick simultaneously around the world.
The box office in North America can also provide good feedback to the domestic market.
Generally speaking, domestic movies are sold overseas, which is itself a huge publicity point.
Many people are curious about what movies can be sold well in North America, so hurry up and take a look.
Therefore, Wang Yifan proposed this condition and was quite tough, which is somewhat unpredictable.
Of course, Lin Husheng was able to understand Wang Yifan's ideas.
Because of this movie, Wang Yifan is not optimistic about his performance in the North American market, so everything makes sense?
"Infernal Affairs" is released simultaneously around the world, which can certainly receive certain publicity effects, but if "Infernal Affairs" is released in North America and has an ideal box office performance, it can indeed feed back to the domestic market.
But what if Infernal Affairs fails in North America?
Will it also affect the box office of this movie in China?
Maybe the impact will not be very big, but it is definitely not a good impact.
At the same time, Wang Yifan was also ambushing Ali Media.
Not only is he not optimistic about the North American box office of "Infernal Affairs", he is also very optimistic about the domestic box office.
He believes that a movie like "Infernal Affairs" is definitely a rare and good movie no matter how long it is.
This is also explained in the previous life. Even if "Infernal Affairs" has been ten or twenty years, people will still be amazed when they watch this movie again.
So, since that's the case, why do you still make such a request?
Since the North American defeat has little impact on the domestic box office, why does Wang Yifan still make such a request?
Of course there is a reason.
You should know that Ali Media paid a price to obtain the North American distribution rights of "Infernal Affairs".
For example, publicity resources.
Although Ali Media wants to launch a global film strategy, it needs to promote "Infernal Affairs" in both places.
But when they have great ambitions for Infernal Affairs, they will definitely not spare any effort to promote it.
But once the box office response in North America is very poor, will Ali Media still do that?
Definitely not, they will only stop the loss as soon as possible, and this will have a great impact on the domestic publicity and impact of "Infernal Affairs".
That's why Wang Yifan made such a request.
Of course, he said that he was an upright person and had absolutely no intention of cheating Ali Media.
However, I was thinking about Mingyue, but the bright moon shining on the ditch. Whether it was Lin Husheng, Chen Hanming, or even his own woman, Zhang Zirong also looked smiling and said: "Well, I believe you, you definitely have no intention of digging a hole for Ali! It was all made up by Ali Media!"
Of course, for such a thing, it is indeed Wang Yifan who dug a hole for Ali.
After all, can the movie be recognized by the market? How could Wang Yifan guarantee the prediction?
Therefore, he can definitely not be considered a cheating media.
Of course, even if you dig a hole for Ali Media, Lin Husheng and others would like to hear it.
Although Ali Media has not made any real achievements yet, Ali Media’s big moves have been one after another during this period.
Although everyone seems to be mocking Ali Media, in fact, they are all very alert.
There is no way, Ali is too rich and is willing to spend money.
Billions of US dollars, smash it if you say it.
And it is said that Ah Li is not satisfied with this status quo.
The so-called film globalization strategy is just the first step Ali has taken at present!
Although Ali Media does not understand and has tried to win, but this time Wang Yifan or Huaxin is very determined in this regard. As for why?
Where are so many whys?
Of course, Huaxin still gave the reason. After all, he still had to borrow Ali's free publicity resources, so he still had to give one reason or something.
For example, Wang Yifan is very confident in the domestic box office and reputation of "Infernal Affairs", but he cannot predict the North American market.
So, this is for the North American release of Ali Media and Infernal Affairs.
Do you think, if the domestic market feedback is good enough, will it have some impact on North American issuance?
Although this reason is a bit nonsense, the American audience, to be honest, is really "isolationist". Ordinary Americans actually don't pay attention to things outside North America.
For example, movies are not movies that have good reputations in local box offices, but they are just a mess when they come to North America.
Therefore, it can be said that it is simply delusion to use domestic box office performance and reputation to open up the North American market.
But even if Ali Media doesn't believe it, they can only believe it because they can't understand what Hua Xin was thinking, or what Wang Yifan thought.
Cao Mengdu called Wang Yifan specifically.
"Is it better to promote "Infernal Affairs" simultaneously released worldwide?" Cao Meng asked.
"Yes, but the basic platform of "Infernal Affairs" is not? In North America, there are too many uncertainties. No matter what, we must be prepared, right?" Wang Yifan naturally would not come out of Cao Meng's entire pallet.
After all, Cao Meng was in high spirits at this time and was ambitious. If Wang Yifan really wanted to tell him that he was not optimistic about the North American box office of "Infernal Affairs", Cao Meng was also a great director. Does he want to be faced?
It’s not even certain, thinking about it with a villain, would Cao Meng think that you, Wang Yifan, are you too concerned about it? Do you think that no one else can succeed in North America except you?
In fact, although Cao Meng is very respectful to Wang Yifan, people always have ambitions.
Cao Meng also has ambitions, and "Infernal Affairs" is the carrier of his ambitions.
Cao Meng's expectations for this movie are really high!
Therefore, Wang Yifan could only use some simulations to make excuses.
Of course, although Cao Meng was still a little confused, he didn't say anything else.
Things settled.
On Cao Meng's side, "Infernal Affairs" was quickly announced to be completed and immediately entered the post-production stage.
Chapter completed!
