The top ten films in the media voted in 2012, and the top twenty films were released.
Shao Shuaijun, who was still filming "Iron Man 3" in North Carolina, read these magazines and newspapers when he was bored. In recent years, the Hollywood Entertainment Report, which has become increasingly influential in the film industry, has released a list called "Top Ten Geek Movies of 2012".
Geek movies, in English as Geek-Movie. Regarding Geek, no one can accurately define the meaning of this word. It was originally used to describe fools and weird guys, but now it has been used to specifically refer to guys who are very obsessed with technology or a certain subculture. The coverage range has far exceeded the traditional definitions of game fans, anime fans, computer enthusiasts, otakus, etc.
"Avengers" was selected as the second place in the top ten geek movies with the fan base of comic fans, special effects scenes created by computer CG, and humorous storylines.
The old-fashioned magazine "Empire" selected the top 20 best films of the year, and "Avengers" ranked first, defeating the same comic film "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and the Oscar-popular "Escape from Tehran". The reason given by "Empire" is very simple.
"The Women's Federation has everything a summer movie should have, with good scenes, decent plots, and hot box office. Director Shao Shuaijun did not use pretending to be profound narratives, nor did he piece them together randomly, but coordinated the scenes of six superheroes well, and took all-round care of the audience, creating a blockbuster that suits all ages, which is worth learning from by all filmmakers."
The top five of "Empire" are "Avengers", "Escape from Tehran", "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "007: Skybreak Crisis" and "The Beast of the South". "Pi's Fantasy Drifting" ranked 11th, and another R-level comedy "Magic Mike" ranked 17th.
In addition, magazines such as Time, Entertainment Weekly, and Rolling Stone have also ranked. Although "Avengers" did not reach the top, they are all ranked high.
Experts look at the tricks and laymen watch the fun. 2012 ended in a lively way.
Tingfeng Entertainment released a report to the outside world. This year, Tingfeng Entertainment won over $9 billion in global box office, setting an incredible world record. Among them, the box office of over $3.1 billion in North America is an incredible record in North America. "Avengers", "007: Skybreak Crisis", "The Hobbit: A Unexpected Journey", "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingbirds (Part 1), "Amazing Spider-Man", "Madagascar 3: The European Wanted", "Dawn of the Apes", etc., are all box office bombs.
Among the top ten global box offices, only two are released by non-peak entertainment, one is the Rise of Black Rider, the other is "Ice Age 4", and all the others are released and produced by Pinfeng Entertainment.
This year, Hollywood's box office in North America was 11.9 billion US dollars, and its overseas box office totaled 15.9 billion US dollars, which means that Tingfeng Entertainment accounts for half of Hollywood! A little more, it is estimated that the US antitrust organizations will find Tingfeng Entertainment's bosses to have tea.
In 2012, the global box office was 37.8 billion US dollars, and Pinfeng Entertainment accounted for 25, one-quarter of the global box office!
"Hollywood rulers appeared, from independent companies to large studios, and Dingfeng Entertainment was like Shao Shuaijun, which was incredible synonyms!"
"In 2012, Peak Entertainment became the king of box office, and the world-class giant was born. The filming department sold the top spot. This is the best performing film company in the 20th century."
The great achievements of Tingfeng Entertainment have attracted worldwide attention and are full of envy and jealousy. Last year, there was also a Disney company that relied on its powerful peripheral development capabilities to be comparable to Tingfeng Entertainment. This year, no one can stop Tingfeng Entertainment, Jiahe Entertainment Development Hardware, Tingfeng Entertainment Development Software, and the combination of software and hardware are invincible in the world.
No one doubts anymore that Tingfeng Entertainment is just a flash in the pelvis. With the scale of Tingfeng Entertainment and the planned future film production, Tingfeng Entertainment has already had countless gold mines waiting to be mined. In the next ten years, no one Tingfeng Entertainment will never have any status shake.
"The era of pinnacle entertainment has arrived!" - "Time".
This year's Jiahe Entertainment has also set off a gust of wind in the mainland. "Lost in Thailand" has broken through 1.3 billion yuan, becoming the new box office king of Chinese films and the new king of mainland film history. Currently, there are only two movies in the mainland that have exceeded 1 billion yuan, one "Avatar" and the other "Transformers 3", both Hollywood blockbusters, and now they have finally been snatched back to their honor by Chinese films.
At the time of the big sale in Thailand, there was another news that made it to major headlines.
Wanda Group acquired AMC Cinema, the second largest theater company in North America. AMC Cinema is a theater company established in Atlanta in 1992. It has a multi-hall theater company in the United States. It has 346 theaters, totaling 5,028 screens. Among them, IMAX screens are 120 yuan and 3D screens are 2,170 yuan. It is the largest IMAX and 3D screen operator in North America.
AMC owns theaters concentrated in the heart of large North American cities, with 23 of the top 50 theaters with the largest box office in North America, and a total box office accounted for 20 of the North American market share, making it a huge company. This acquisition lasted more than two years. Because AMC is an unlisted company (it was listed and later privatized by JPMorgan Chase Bank), it is unable to directly acquire equity, and the transactions involved are even more complicated.
The original hope was to acquire AMC theaters was Zhumeng International Holdings Group, but the US government determined that Zhumeng International Holdings Group had Tingfeng Entertainment Group, and its business scope included film companies. However, the US government stipulates that film companies cannot directly control theater companies.
For this reason, Zhumeng had to give up this acquisition plan and then let Wanda Group, which holds shares with each other, come forward and re-recommend the acquisition plan.
In recent years, affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, North American theaters have poor profits and AMC theaters have high debts. They are also interested in seeking new capital to enter the market and turn losses into profits, which led to this acquisition plan. After the acquisition is completed, Wanda Group will plan to list AMC theaters on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.
While controlling Wanda Cinemas and AMC Cinemas, Wanda Group will become the world's largest theater company and the largest IMAX screen and 3D screen operator, almost half of its global share. The expected profit will exceed Wanda Group's real estate revenue.
With Wanda Group as a natural ally of Mutual Shares, it means that AMC Cinemas is controlled by Zhumeng International Holdings Group.
A truly top-notch entertainment company has taken shape.
Media from China and the United States have paid much attention to this.
American media believe that Chinese films will use this east wind to pour into the US market in large quantities, and are more worried that Dingfeng Entertainment, which has interests, will master more theater resources and form a monopoly. Chinese media hope that AMC theaters can play a role in promoting Chinese films, and at the same time, they are also worried that Wanda Group will not adapt to the environment and fall into the quagmire of AMC losses.
However, Wanda Group and Meng Zhuang Group are full of confidence in the acquisition plan. Wanda CEO Boss Wang attended the press conference and announced that the former AMC operation team will continue to manage AMC theaters. At the same time, he said: "We are optimistic about the development of the film industry. AMC theaters will become a major helper for Wanda Group's transformation. We have never worried that AMC will not turn losses into profits. What we need to consider is how to form sustainable development in the future."
When asked by reporters whether it would help Chinese movies enter the American market, Boss Wang said: "In principle, we naturally hope that more Chinese movies can be appreciated by American audiences. However, doing theaters is not charity. Market principles are always the first priority and cannot be recognized by American audiences. Such Chinese movies will not be promoted by AMC. We can only say that we can ensure that Chinese movies are given a fair economic environment."
Another reporter asked whether Dingfeng Entertainment would monopolize North American film screenings by relying on its relationship with Wanda Group. Boss Wang said: "I don't know Mitchell Bruce. You ask if we will join forces. We and Dingfeng Entertainment are two companies that do not interfere with each other. AMC does not have the ability to monopolize the screenings and will not monopolize them. This is not in the interests of AMC. Please rest assured."
Having said that, worry is inevitable.
But things have been like this and cannot be changed. American theater companies basically have the shadow of large production companies behind them. Any large production companies will always reach out to the upstream and downstream industries. If Dingfeng Entertainment wants to firmly sit in a large studio, it must also intervene in the upstream and downstream of this industry to reduce its own constraints.
This is a hidden rule.
It's just tacit.
...
The day after New Year's Day, the crew of "Iron Man 3" burst into loud cheers, intermittently. After six months, "Iron Man 3" was finally finished. It took a week to edit the original copy of the movie into a film and hand it over to Dingfeng Entertainment. Shao Shuaijun and his family of three flew back to the mainland.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching again. Shao Shuaijun suddenly realized that it had been several years since the New Year, and he had never been at ease. He was three years old. In other words, since 2010, he has only made a movie every year and has not tried very hard to shoot movies, but there are too many projects in charge, which has taken up most of his time.
There is almost no day to be able to completely relax.
I visited some leaders and friends in the capital, and the family of three rushed back to their hometown.
The earth is flying all over, and I can’t remember what my hometown looks like. In recent years, my hometown has changed a lot. The main reason is that Shao Shuaijun has become rich and has invested in many public welfare undertakings in his hometown, building roads, bridges and factories, which has brought the entire town a prosperous life. Even if it doesn’t cost much, it can benefit the village.
Moreover, many people I know from my hometown have joined the Dream Chasing Company, and there are many rich people who have come out of my hometown.
The big director, a mogul, an international figure, brings benefits to everyone, Shao Shuaijun is almost becoming the mythical figure in the town and the object of worship by thousands of girls.
Therefore, this year is very lively and the door of my hometown is almost broken.
It's lively and the Spring Festival is over. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!)
