Chapter 4622: Hitting the Face

Box office! It is the lifeline of a film company. If the box office is not high, then the film company cannot recover the huge investment cost, nor can it make money to maintain the operation of the film company.

What no one expected was that the box office revenue of Lin Feng's "Chinese Paladin 3: Miao Crisis" would be so high! 1.32 billion US dollars! This is an amazing number that no one expected. 1.32 billion US dollars, although it did not break the total revenue of "Lord of the Rings" in the North American market of 1.4 billion US dollars, but this is only the box office of "Chinese Paladin 3: Miao Crisis" alone. Just based on the single film, it has surpassed the box office of any movie in the "Lord of the Rings" in the North American market. "Novel" Novel chapters are updated the fastest

In half a month, the total global box office reached an amazing result of 2.515 billion US dollars! This is absolutely an unprecedented and amazing result. No one thought that a typical Chinese film could get such a high box office. In particular, what people did not expect is that the Chinese market is so hot that it can contribute more than 1 billion US dollars in box office revenue. This is something no one expected.

The prospects of the Chinese market are so broad! This is amazing! Although the "Gods and Disciples" contributed the vast majority of the box office revenue, this cannot deny the potential of the Chinese market. When the five major movie giants were beaten by the box office of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: The Miao Crisis", they also saw the considerable box office market in China.

, the movie market will no longer be just the North American market, but also the Chinese market. A market that can almost compete with the North American market! The five major movie giants immediately pushed the four movies they hastily launched to the Chinese market. After all, in this confrontation with Lin Feng, they were almost completely defeated.

Under the call of a group of Michaels. Movie fans flocked to the "Forest Screening Room". However, their movie theater chains. However, there were few people. Although there were top blockbusters such as "I Am Legend". However, facing the call of a group of Michaels, movie fans were very receptive. As a result, the four blockbusters "I Am Legend", "Beowulf", "American Gangster", and "Resident Evil 3: Extinction" were usually not less than 200 to 300 million US dollars at the box office. As a result, the total box office of the four movies now has just exceeded 100 million US dollars. Such dismal box office revenue was totally unacceptable to them.

Obviously, they chose a very wrong time to release their movies. There was no overwhelming publicity, no premiere with big stars present, almost nothing, only their paranoia. The box office was naturally extremely miserable. Therefore, they set their sights on China, the "gold mine market" that they suddenly discovered. Of course, the Chinese market. Hollywood has also been waiting. Waiting for the Chinese market to start a blowout.

After all, China is the world's most populous country. And its GDP is also increasing year by year. It is now the world's third largest economy, second only to the United States and Japan, and in the foreseeable near future, it will surpass Japan and become the world's second largest economy. Such a market will surely become the world's largest market. Therefore, Hollywood has also been negotiating with China and gradually selling more movies to China. It's just that I didn't expect that the Chinese market would suddenly blow out.

A box office of $1 billion is just for a single movie. This is too scary. Basically, no matter how huge the capital investment is, it can recover the cost in China. Under this stimulus, the five major Hollywood movie giants immediately pushed their movies to the Chinese market. They hoped that even if their movies could not be popular in the United States, they might be popular in China. Even if they could not make a lot of money, they could at least recover their costs to make up for the decision-making errors this time.

However, what was unexpected was that these four movies encountered huge troubles. First of all, they did not pass the qualification review. Of course, it was not that they did not pass, but the waiting time for the review was a bit long. According to convention, it takes at least 1 month to review. And for the five major Hollywood movie giants, a month is too long.

After waiting for such a long time for the review, the daylily was cold. Although they had grievances with Lin Feng, they had to admit that Lin Feng's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" has completely activated the Chinese market. While this heat has not dissipated, they naturally want to take the opportunity to make more money. If they wait for the consumer's emotions to pass and return to normal, they may not make so much money. So, even if there is hatred, who doesn't want to make more money now that they can make money?

But what if the audit fails? Even if it passes, it will take so long to wait. At this point, many giant companies are anxious. What can they do? They can only find a way to find the person in charge of the relevant department. Anyway, they are not ignorant of Chinese characteristics. Then treat them to a meal and give gifts! Anyway, as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter if they give more. But what the five major film giants didn't expect was that the leaders of the relevant departments refused them sternly. Not to mention gifts, they won't even go to dinner.

If you want to visit in person, you can do it in the office, and he will receive you politely. But if you want to visit at home, I'm sorry, I won't receive you. This time, the five major film giants were in a mess. They didn't expect what the situation was! This, this, what's going on! When did they become so honest and law-abiding.

This is unreasonable! It shouldn't be like this! Finally, after going through so much trouble, the five major film giants found out a piece of news, that is, the reason why the leaders of the relevant departments did not accept their banquets and gifts was because they were concerned about Lin Feng. Now it is clear that Lin Feng is playing against them, how can the leaders of the relevant departments go against Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng is not a cadre, not a party member, or even a representative of the National People's Congress. But no one can ignore Lin Feng's influence in China. Although he is not in the officialdom, he can influence many things in the officialdom.

Therefore, for the sake of their own black hats and for their own butts to be able to sit in the best position they can sit, these leaders of the relevant departments will not do anything beyond their authority. Everything can only be handled in a fair and impartial manner. Moreover, it must be handled in a fair and impartial manner with Chinese characteristics.

Is this going to give up the Chinese market? The five major film company giants are very unwilling.

"I think we should try to contact Lin Feng!" said Elizabeth Murdoch, president of Fox Films. "As long as we can get Lin Feng to help us, I believe our movie should be approved soon!"

Looking for Lin Feng? Lee Kun-hee and others twitched. How can this be possible! If they go to Lin Feng, they would rather the movie not be released.

"Everyone, don't forget. Our four movies are the annual big productions. If we don't find Lin Feng, the box office will never be saved. Without the box office, we can't report to the company's board of directors. Of course, to be honest, I don't care. I am the chairman of the company!" Elizabeth Murdoch said lightly.

20th Century Fox originally belonged to Murdoch. Later, after Murdoch divorced, under the "mediation" of Lin Feng, he transferred all his property to his ex-wife Anne Murdoch to manage, and went on vacation alone. As for his ex-wife Wendi Deng, except for a New York mansion and a Beijing courtyard house, as well as some cash, she didn't get any shares or positions. Elizabeth Murdoch, as Murdoch's only daughter, inherited 20th Century Fox. She is the chairman, and also. Murdoch's shares account for an absolute stake in 20th Century Fox.

Therefore, no matter what the company ends up like, Elizabeth does not need to explain to anyone. No need! But the others are different. Among them, especially Samsung Columbia President Lee Kun-hee, although the Samsung Group also holds an absolute stake in the company, Lee Kun-hee is also the eldest daughter in the family, but in South Korea, women and men are completely different. There is no comparability in status. And Lee Kun-hee's position as the president of Samsung Columbia can be said to have opened up a precedent for Korean companies. And if its financial statements are not good, it will be a blow to Lee Kun-hee.

Therefore, Lee Kun-hee recovered immediately after the initial unhappiness.

", our grievances with Lin Feng are grievances between us, but it has nothing to do with business!" Lee Kun-hee said categorically, "Business is business, grievances are grievances, we must separate them!"

"But, will Lin Feng be willing to help?" Paramount President John Leh frowned and said.

Lin Feng is a man who will never give up. He will stab anyone who has offended him whenever he has the chance. In this case, if they go to Lin Feng for help, it is equivalent to asking Lin Feng to hit them. Lin Feng is not happy to hit them!

"Business is business. As long as we can make money, I believe Lin Feng will not refuse. Besides, if we go to him like this, it also means that we bow our heads. He will naturally stop when we see the good. Besides, everyone doesn't want us to completely oppose Lin Feng, right! After all, Lin Feng still controls half of the movie screens in the United States through Ellison." Elizabeth Murdoch said in a deep voice, "If we continue to fight, regardless of what will happen to Lin Feng in the end, it will be difficult for us, the presidents, to explain to the board of directors. Everyone doesn't want us to help the latecomers!"

The faces of many presidents sank. Indeed, if they continue to fight with Lin Feng, the result is hard to say. They have the keneng to win, and Lin Feng also has the keneng to win. But the initial chaos will make their financial statements look ugly, and those shareholders will definitely not be satisfied. Professional managers like them will inevitably become scapegoats.

Therefore, they must first ensure the box office before discussing the feud with Lin Feng. Besides, to be honest, the matter between them and Lin Feng is just business, there is no personal feud! Then let's talk to Lin Feng! To be continued...
