Chapter 842 The problem that must be faced

The shadow that Ling Xiaoge brought to various film and television companies is too great.

During the summer vacation and the Spring Festival, the Ling Xiao Pavilion was invincible, and they even directly developed overseas.

Naturally, the influence of Ling Xiao Pavilion is also growing, which is why they will deliberately join forces.

It's not that there is any enmity or grudge with Lin Xiao, but that the interests are at stake.

Huaguo's entertainment industry is booming, and now the market has gradually begun to catch up with North America.

The film market in North America has already matured, and it is difficult to make a big improvement. On the other hand, the total box office in Huaguo is rising by a very scary figure every year, which means that it is far from reaching saturation.

As a result, countless hot money began to pour into this market. Coal bosses who dig coal, real estate developers who build houses, and Internet giants have entered this industry one after another, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.

However, although these people are very rich, in fact, the entertainment industry seems to have no threshold, but in fact, the threshold of invisibility is very high.

Tianhua, the boss who once had the title of the richest man, is definitely not short of money, and he also owns Tianhua Cinemas. It stands to reason that he should be able to grab it, but in reality?
As soon as Tianhua entered the scene, he looked rich and powerful, and asked Hollywood to co-produce several blockbuster movies. What happened?
It's a mess!
Ari and Huaxun are both giants and masters with good money, but when it comes to movies, they have to pay the tuition due to the fact that they have a lot of resources.

But there is only one exception, and that is Ling Xiaoge.

In the eyes of many people, Lin Xiao is definitely a very scary existence, not because of his director level, not because of his high level of screenwriting, nor because of his influence or fame, but his vision is too precise.

To apply a movie line: His eyes can see the future!
During the rise of the High Heaven Pavilion, it is not that they have encountered opponents, and even the opponents are very strong, but in the bumps and bumps, the High Heaven Pavilion can always save the day.

The key point is that Lin Xiao does not eat alone, he knows how to share benefits, so, in the face of benefits, even though he has already felt the horror of Ling Xiao Pavilion, he still drinks poison to quench his thirst.

Of course, Huaguo's market is big enough, so no matter how strong Ling Xiao Pavilion is, it is impossible to achieve a monopoly, but it still makes other people who want a piece of the pie feel like a thorn in their throats.

"You mean?" Chen Bin asked suddenly.

Cao Mingzhu nodded and said, "You should be familiar with James Lee, right?"

Qiao Jianhong asked in surprise, "Golden Globe Award for Best Director?"

"He seems to be from Baodao, right? Why did you mention him all of a sudden?" Wu Wenlong asked suspiciously.

"By the way, James Lee, he seems to be filming a sci-fi masterpiece for Mina Films. It's been two years, right? Why is it already finished?" Chen Bin asked.

"The "Six Paths"?" Wu Wenlong also remembered.

"That's right, it's "Six Paths", a sci-fi masterpiece with an investment of 2 million U.S. dollars." Cao Mingzhu said.

"However, even if "Six Paths" can be introduced, it's impossible for Huaying to use it to compete with "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", right?" Qiao Jianhong frowned.

Although the amount of imported Hollywood movies has increased significantly in recent years, in fact, even in Huaguo, only Huaying and Huaxia can distribute the imported movies.

And "Six Ways", a blockbuster film with an investment of 2 million US dollars, obviously cannot be approved.

"Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" can also be regarded as a project of Huaying, so one more thing, "Six Paths" is also a foreign film, and it is impossible for Huaying to use it to compete with "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".

"Who said "Six Paths" is an imported film?" Cao Mingzhu said with a smile.

""Six Paths" is not an imported film? How is it possible?" Dou Qingshan said with an impossible expression.

"Why is it impossible? In fact, nearly half of the funding for "Six Paths" comes from China, and there are many Chinese stars in the characters, and the director is Li Bin, so "Six Paths" is actually a co-production film. .” Cao Mingzhu said.

If you want to say what kind of film in China has the most favorable treatment at present, it is undoubtedly a co-production film.

Of course, there are many restrictions on the conditions of co-productions, but once they become co-productions, they are completely different from imported films.

In terms of publicity and distribution, it does not have to be handed over to Huaying for distribution.

"Everyone, if "Six Paths" and "Three Kingdoms: Heroes" happen to be released at the same time, then I think, even if our theaters support "Six Paths", Huaying will have nothing to say?" Cao Mingzhu said with a smile.

Wu Wenlong nodded and said, "But "Six Paths" can really collide with "Three Kingdoms"?"

"As long as our theaters express their support, I believe Mina will have no objections!" Cao Mingzhu said.

"Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" is officially scheduled for April 23.

In fact, this schedule was suggested by Huaying. Although April is the off-season, the off-season release does not mean that it cannot have a good box office.Huaying really attaches great importance to the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies, and this year's schedule, "Three Kingdoms: Heroes" can be said to have no rivals.

And a week later is the May [-]st schedule, and there will be a lot of competing films at that time.

However, as soon as the schedule was set, an extremely bad news came.

Co-produced by Hollywood and Star Projection, costing more than 2 million US dollars, directed by Golden Globe Award Best Director winner Li Bin, "Six Paths" will be released globally after 2 years.

This is nothing at all, but the key point is that "Six Paths" is also scheduled for April 24th.

"Three Kingdoms: Heroes" is certainly considered a domestically produced blockbuster, but compared to "Six Paths" with an investment of up to 2 million U.S. dollars, it is not enough to watch.

There is no way to know about the star projection industry that popped up suddenly. All I know is that this company was established 2 years ago and is a completely empty shell company.

"What does Huaying say?" After Long Teng got the news, he was also a little confused.Yang Qingxuan asked solemnly.

Zhao Shan, the person in charge of Huaying stationed in Longteng, shook his head and said: "We didn't expect that the distribution company of "Six Paths" this time is not Huaying, but Tianyu."

"'Six Paths' is really a co-production?" Xiao Jie asked, frowning.

"There is no doubt about this. "Six Paths" meets the criteria for a co-production film. Half of the investment comes from the domestic star projection industry. And one-third of the scenes in the film were filmed in China. What's more, this time Among the main actors of "Six Paths", three are Chinese actors."

"Zhang Yu, Yang Ning, and Li Honggang are not small characters in the play."

"What is the origin of this star projection industry?" Gu Xi from Minghu Films, who just took over the shares of Tianchen and others, asked.

"The Star Projection industry is actually an empty shell. The source of funds is several domestic investment companies. There is no problem." Zhao Shan said.

"As the first film in the "Three Kingdoms" series, "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" must not be missed, so my suggestion is to avoid the edge for the time being, and we postpone or advance the release." Yang Qingxuan said.

All eyes turned to Lin Xiao who had been silent all this time.
