1373. The possibility of cooperation
"Are Director Yang familiar with Director Wang Yifan?" Zhao Dongming asked before the premiere officially began.
Yang Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Director Wang usually sees the dragon but not the tail, and I rarely see him."
Yang Qing can indeed be said to be the best directors planned by the new star director.
Now he is ambitious to become the first major director planned by the new star director.
In fact, Wang Yifan really doesn’t take job change and other things seriously.
Especially the directors of the New Star Director Program, because there are too many new Star Director Program, in Wang Yifan's view, it is more about giving these new directors an opportunity, an opportunity for practice and testing.
What level can Wang Yifan decides about how far he can go in the future.
He couldn't be a nanny for them.
In fact, there are too many directors in the New Star Director Program, and Huaxin cannot have so many projects, so the outflow of the New Star Director Program is expected.
The reason why Yang Qing changed jobs was that he was going to a higher level. After all, for Huaxin, Huaxin really did not lack directors, and Yang Qing was not that important to Huaxin.
For Ali Media, Yang Qing is very important, after all, she is the seedling of a big director.
So when Ali Media extended an olive branch, he took it straight away.
"Director Wang Yifan and Wan Sheng Huanyu, Times Light and Shadow, Shengtang Jiuzhou, etc., do you think he is possible to cooperate with our Ali Media once?" Zhao Dongming asked suddenly.
Yang Qing looked at Zhao Dongming in surprise, and then asked: "What kind of cooperation is Mr. Zhao talking about? What level and how to cooperate?"
There is naturally a reason for Yang Qing to ask this question. Cooperation. In fact, Huaxin and Ali Media also have cooperation, but it depends on the degree of cooperation.
Zhao Dongming smiled and said, "For example, the two companies jointly lead a cooperation project."
Yang Qing shook her head and said, "I don't think it's possible for me to be in China, because director Wang Yifan has not focused on the domestic market this morning, but has looked at the global market. This is the case with the Marvel Universe plan."
"What about foreign countries? For example, working together to work on a Hollywood movie?" Zhao Dongming said with a smile.
Yang Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao means, foreign movies? movies targeting the North American market?"
Zhao Dongming nodded and sighed: "Actually, Ali Media's overseas strategy has not been going well. What is missing the most now is a hot project..."
Yes, Ali Media acquired Imperial Cinemas. In fact, this step cannot be said to be a bad one, but the fact is that it is obvious that the influence of foreign theaters is not as great as Ali Media initially imagined.
For example, Imperial Cinemas actually lost money after Ali Media acquired it.
Yes, several major Hollywood giants are openly supportive of Ali Media's acquisition of Imperial Cinemas. Even the shareholders of Imperial Cinemas were also indicative of several giants, but they did not interfere with Ali Media's acquisition.
But in fact, only after the actual acquisition did Ali Media realize that domestic theater chains and North American theater chains are completely different.
Domestic theaters have a strong voice, but North American theaters actually rely on the breath of several giants.
Because the operating costs of theaters in North America are much higher than those in China, but they are also a heavy asset industry.
The profit is very meager, so it is no wonder they do not object to Ah Li's acquisition, because it is really not that easy to find a sucker to take over.
And they had long known that theaters have never had much say in North America.
The degree of marketization in North America is obviously much higher than that in China.
The higher the marketization level means that it is not impossible to operate like in China, but the price you need to pay is higher.
You should know that domestic theaters are very strong, which can be seen from the movie box office results.
The box office share of domestic cinemas has always been the big one, while in North America, the box office share of cinemas can be said to be very, very low in the previous few weeks.
Even at the lowest point, it is only 10%.
It can be said that the low is outrageous, but because they have many surrounding industrial chains, what they need is traffic.
What can bring traffic is naturally a hit movie. It is content!
Several major media giants in Hollywood control the upstream resource of the film industry chain, that is, high-quality content!
Therefore, several major media giants in Hollywood can be said to have absolute control in this regard.
When a movie hits, once the publisher excludes you, no, or even directly excludes it. It only needs to be delayed for a period of time, it will be a huge blow to the revenue of theaters.
Therefore, a stable supply of high-quality content is the way to survive in North American theaters.
But this part is out of control.
Of course, if the Hollywood giants attack the theater chain controlled by Ali Media, the Imperial Cinema will also have a large scale and will reduce their movies by a lot of fast screens.
Therefore, what Ali Media needs is to find high-quality content by itself, and then a balance can be formed.
The film giants that made Imperial Cinema no longer restricted by Hollywood.
At the beginning, Ali Media's idea was to find opportunities from domestic and Hollywood independent films.
But as a result, there are obviously not many people in China who can truly go abroad and conquer North American audiences.
Wang Yifan is the most powerful one.
Although Hollywood independent movies seem to be outside the major giants, in fact, Hollywood independent movies are almost difficult to see most of the time, and even if there are, they are still acquired by distribution companies under the major giants very early.
Therefore, this path cannot be done.
There is actually no shortage of film sources, but what is missing is a good film source!
Night falls!
The premiere of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" was also made by Ali Media and directly held in the CPPCC auditorium.
Moreover, although Ali is a new giant, Ali Group itself is a domestic Internet giant, so its face is still quite impressive.
In terms of star lineup, the premiere of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is not even worse than any awards ceremony.
Of course, Ali Media will definitely cost a lot of money to do such a big battle.
Not to mention anything else, Ali Media spent at least tens of millions of Chinese coins in just such a premiere.
Yes, there is no need to be a showdown fee for celebrities to come to support the show, but there are a variety of other expenses, such as the huge prize screen. After all, it is impossible to provide you with this in the CPPCC auditorium, and it depends on the company that organizes it to spend money on it.
Secondly, the rental cost of this auditorium itself is not a small amount, plus the overall layout, etc.
These all cost money.
