929 [Build a branch]
Indeed, there will be "Iron Man 2" on the summer schedule this July!
Originally "Iron Man 2" was planned to be released in early July, but in order to avoid "Thor" for a short period of time, it was changed to the end of July. Now it seems that it is a bit unnecessary. Although the results of "Thor" have not been released yet, but
Looking at the state of the audience today, Luo Yuan could roughly guess the follow-up popularity of this movie...
Xia Ran did have a reason to be impressive.
As Downey in the "Iron Man" series, he and this character are almost mutually successful. The changes between the two are even quite consistent. Moreover, Iron Man is already more popular than Spider-Man in Marvel movies.
With the existence of superiority, even if the quality of the movie is not as good as the first one, the popularity will not be any less!
This is completely different from "Thor" which has no foundation!
It's just that in one summer holiday, two Marvel movies were released, one was a hit and the other was a hit, which was a bit embarrassing. Now Luo Yuan can only hope that the "Thor" that Huanxing is responsible for will not die too ugly.
Luo Yuan thought so.
As a result, Luo Yuan was a little surprised by the box office performance of "Thor" in the next few days. Perhaps because the Marvel series has always been quite popular among audiences, it was able to earn 100 million a day in the first week.
However, in comparison, the evaluation of this movie is obviously not very high. Many people think that the plot of the movie is too thin, focuses too much on special effects, and lacks enough surprises——
Fortunately, there are fewer film critics now.
Otherwise, this movie would be really dark.
But Luo Yuan didn't suffer much, because unlike movies like "Thor" and "The Incredible Hulk", this movie was filmed by Huanxing. It is said that Luo Yuan did not even write the script himself, so neither fans nor the media were concerned.
Actively helping Luo Yuan shift the blame.
"They don't understand Marvel!"
"This "Thor" is very careless."
"Director Luo trusted the wrong director this time."
Waiting for these comments, they all feel sorry for Luo Yuan, and even complain about injustice, which makes Luo Yuan look confused. He can only say that he seems to have fewer and fewer black spots now??
Do fans’ eyes have their own filters?
All in all, the blame did not fall on Luo Yuan's head. As for Lian Xing, the director who shot this movie also apologized to Luo Yuan with great self-blame, but he hinted to Luo Yuan that he only had
Less than half of the editing rights for "Thor", and more of the scenes in it, were done by Universal Star's editors...
Luo Yuan could not tell whether it was true or false.
However, this incident made Luo Yuan vaguely have the idea of setting up an overseas company. After all, he also has many foreign movies in his mind, but the connection and cooperation with Huanxing cannot be broken, even if he goes to develop overseas branches
, but also to maintain contact with Huanxing. Luo Yuan knew very well that it would be very difficult for the local power to be successful abroad.
That is to say...
Luo Yuan is preparing to expand the company's overseas business just like the past seven, and Luo Yuan has a greater advantage than others. With the help of Huanxing, although he doesn't know what Huanxing's attitude is towards Crimson's overseas expansion,
As long as Luo Yuan offers a large enough profit, he is not afraid that Huanxing will not take the bait. Secondly, if he does not go overseas for development, some Hollywood blockbusters that are not suitable for adaptation into Chinese movies will have no choice but to rot in his stomach. This will not affect Luo Yuan.
From afar, it was still a pity, and he didn't want to have such regrets.
therefore.
He presented the idea directly at the company's quarterly meeting.
Wang Qi most agrees with this idea, because Wang Qi has experience in overseas management, so he really wants to take the initiative to ask Ying to do things overseas. In this way, the scarlet red in China can be left to Gu Lang to take charge of the overall situation. After all, it was Gu Lang before.
Lang is managing alone.
"Yes, yes..."
Gu Lang said: "But we must think of a good enough reason to convince Huanxing, otherwise, we are going to steal business, and they may not welcome it, even if we have cooperated very happily before."
"This is not difficult."
Luo Yuandao: "We can help them with Eastern distribution."
Foreign movies are not very effective in publicity and distribution in China. Crimson is relatively powerful in this regard and controls many theaters: "In addition, overseas branches can invite Universal Star to invest in early-stage movies, giving them the opportunity to make money."
Well?"
This has nothing to do with long-term vision or not.
Huanxing will definitely not worry that they will be surpassed by an overseas branch of Crimson Red, so they may be willing to help in the early stage. As for when they find that Crimson Red Branch can also rise, the momentum is no longer within their reach.
Luo Yuan is still very confident in this aspect. Huanxing would never have expected that Luo Yuan has a deep understanding of Western movies.
To be precise, Luo Yuan has many classic Hollywood scripts in his mind.
After this plan was proposed, everyone discussed the blockbuster of "Thor" and the release of "Iron Man 2" at the end of the month. Gu Lang said: "Although the box office of "Thor" started in the second week, it has gradually dropped to one day.
Tens of millions, but in general, it is not a loss. It can only be said that it is neither a loss nor a profit. However, this is an act of taking advantage of the bottom line. We must be more vigilant. We hope that "Iron Man 2" can save the decline.
Otherwise, the media may make a big fuss and badmouth Marvel.”
"How about the "Thor" series be cancelled?"
"It's not necessary to cut it off. Aren't we going to set up a branch company? It's safer to leave "Thor 2" to the branch company and do it ourselves than to give Huanxing full responsibility. However, the choice of director is a problem."
"..."
Sure enough, the failure of "Thor" still had an impact on Marvel.
After the meeting, Luo Yuan returned to his office and opened the completed "Avengers" script again, preparing to polish it again. "Thor" made him more vigilant. The Avengers series is Marvel's big move, and it is also
It's a big climax, and it's fun to screw it up, so it would be nice to make it more perfect, even though the outline model is the same as the original version, and it has been proven successful in previous lives.
As for overseas companies...
Wang Qi has already taken over everything.
Since Wang Qi said he was responsible, Luo Yuan could still rest assured. Firstly, Wang Qi was rich in experience. Secondly, the other party should have accumulated some useful contacts during his overseas years. The final results would definitely be
It's better than anyone else. You know, in the unfamiliar market in the West, even if Luo Yuan goes there, there is no guarantee that he can succeed. After all, in that environment, it doesn't mean that if you make a good movie, everything goes smoothly.
Smooth.
There are a lot of tricks.
