Chapter 1622 Fierce Competition

Novel Network

The three walked into the office, Xiao Yunhai sat on the boss chair, and said, "Raul, let's talk."

Raul nodded and said, "Boss, we released a total of 31 films in January and February, including 6 literary films, 21 commercial films, and 4 cartoon films, with a total of 78.3 billion yuan. At the box office, profits reached US$31.2 billion, an 18% increase over the same period last year.”

"Besides, according to your instructions, we have cooperated with many Hollywood star studios. We have invested in 18 movies in total. We lost a full 10 movies and made only 1.2 billion US dollars."

Xiao Yunhai was directly amused, and said, "The movie that Star Studio is planning is really average."

Raul said with a wry smile: "Boss, the studios of more than a dozen Hollywood stars have declared bankruptcy. In order to reduce costs, the quality of the films they shoot does have problems. There are some good scripts, if we put them in the hands of the directors of our company. It will definitely sell well. Unfortunately, many stars are reluctant to hire famous directors, and there are not many directors who are hired. In addition, they often point fingers during filming, resulting in a terrible box office. Alas, don't say it's with us Compared with large companies, even those small and medium-sized companies are much stronger than them.”

Xiao Yunhai asked, "What about the star studio under our company? Did it make a profit or lose?"

Raul said: "Director Beekwen is shooting a large-scale fantasy film "Dream Kingdom". He invested 200 million US dollars and invited David Hartnett to play the leading role. David Hartnett saw the script is really good , he added his own salary of 60 million US dollars plus his studio's 4,000 US dollars, made up 100 million and invested it. The rest of the funds were all made up by the company. It is estimated that if you want to show it, you will have to wait a little longer. half a year."

"Almost all of the other films failed. Director Beekwen invested 20 million dollars in a literary film, only to get 15 million dollars at the box office and hurried down. David voted for two, one The first one was guaranteed, and the other one lost $8.6 million."

"The worst is the actress Sheila Lucia. She has a good relationship with the bosses of many film companies and has the most resources. She spent 360 million US dollars in five films, and even starred in herself. I bought one, but only 130 million was recovered, and the place where I lived was changed from a big villa to a small villa.”

"Alas, the competition for films in Hollywood is too fierce. The great success of a film often makes dozens of films in the same period go to waste. They are fairly good, and some star artists are so ambitious that they take out bank loans to make films. , life has entered hell directly from heaven, and can only repay the loan by crazy acting."

Daniel laughed: "So boss, congratulations on becoming the public enemy of Hollywood entertainers."

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and asked inexplicably, "What does it have to do with me if their investment failed?"

Daniel said: "Who made you the originator of Star Studio. If you hadn't first proposed such a concept, they wouldn't have set up a studio. If they didn't set up a studio, they wouldn't have lost money."

Raul nodded and said gloatingly: "A while ago, after artists failed to invest, they would say on the Internet that they shouldn't listen to you and set up a studio, which made them so miserable."

"Damn it." When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he yelled, "Who are these people? It's too shameless."

Lauer said: "It's as if Beekwen, David and Sheila all said that.

"

Xiao Yunhai patted his forehead, wanting to cry without tears.

If you can't do well yourself, and blame the founder, you are simply speechless.

The three chatted for a while, and Raul suddenly said: "Boss, I heard that the major video sites in the United States are making mobile APPs recently. Although there is no one in existence, it is only a matter of time. Our Social networking apps are popular in Europe and the United States, with countless members, have you ever thought of adding a video website on it, and put our Marvel cartoons, movies, TV series, variety shows, etc. on it to broadcast."

Last year, Marvel Comics filmed more than 100 movies, more than 30 big animated movies and 78 cartoons, and Yunqing TV was not too much. It invested in more than 40 TV series and variety shows. Quite a few, and even more program copyrights are bought.

After these film and television works are broadcast in theaters and TV stations, they will be placed on online video websites for paid download and online broadcast. This alone brought Xiao Yunhai more than 8 billion US dollars in revenue last year. After charging 50% of the platform fee.

If Marvel had its own platform to broadcast, Xiao Yunhai would pocket another 8 billion dollars, and this huge sum of money would almost catch up with the annual salary of its employees.

In the past, because the competition between video sites on the Internet was too fierce, even if Xiao Yunhai got in, he might not be able to succeed, so he didn't even have the idea.

And now it's different. On the computer network, I can't compare. But in terms of mobile phone networks, Xiao Yunhai is absolutely invincible. Just one twitter app can kill them all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai said: "Raul, your suggestion is very good. I will call the software department of Yunqing Network Company to make a Marvel Movie and TV network, and put it directly on our Twitter APP, alongside the game. When we set the price lower, I believe it will become popular soon. Hehe, if there is no music company, I would like to make a music app. "

Raul said happily: "That's great. However, I think our own film and television works are too few. I will contact other film and television companies to buy their online film and television copyrights."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "You should get in touch as soon as possible. Just like this, I feel a little sorry for Xianyue Video Network."

Before, Xiao Yunhai introduced Man Wenbin to many Hollywood film companies to help him compete with other websites, but now that he wants to engage in mobile online video, he can only resist him.

Raul said: "Business is like this, there is no way to do it. It's just that the regulations on mobile phone network video and computer network video have not been promulgated in various countries and regions. Previously, network copyright refers to computers. Including the current mobile app.”

Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that this matter was really important. If the mobile phone online video copyright is not included in the previous online copyright, then Xiao Yunhai can cooperate with all other companies to buy the broadcasting rights of those excellent movies. In this way, Xiao Yunhai's Marvel Video APP is hard to miss.
