Chapter 383 Congratulations on Being Nominated for the Southern California International Film Awards

year 2010.

This is definitely the craziest year in the Chinese film industry.

In June this year, the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" completely shocked the world with a staggering global US$2.6 billion and Chinese RMB 1.7 billion.

In October this year, another Hollywood blockbuster "Dreamland" suddenly hit. With its intricate narrative, highly creative visual impact that seems real and fake, and multiple levels of dream thinking, it once again set off a craze for watching science fiction movies.

In this movie, countless movie fans have come to the science fiction film to bring amazing "dreams within dreams". They can see high-rise buildings suddenly rising from the ground, and they can also see layers of mysterious mountains and endless changes. Sense of direction, the moment the movie started, countless people even fell into the layers of dreams woven by the movie for a long time and were unable to extricate themselves. Even the Huaxia Film Network specially opened a column for "Dreamland", commenting on this movie as "This is a great and great movie". Another extremely exciting movie! 】.

The Douban movie’s online rating reached an astonishing 9.4 points!

At a glance, you can see the unanimous praise and shock below...

Countless people have written about how amazed they were when they saw this movie. Despite the impact of "Avatar", many people will not be like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden when watching this movie, but the vivid intersection of science fiction and reality , a sense of suspense that combines unparalleled special effects with real scenes, and a more complex and huge plot setting. Some people even say that compared to "Avatar" and "Dreamland", this movie is another peak in Hollywood science fiction movies. …

The amazing reputation of the movie has brought crazy movie box office.

Although it was released for three days, due to the strong suppression of the main theme movie "1949", the box office of this movie just exceeded 100 million, but in the next three days, the performance of this movie was appalling.

Almost every day, it wildly bombards the Chinese movie box office with an astonishing box office of 40 million yuan. Even the main theme movie "1949" cannot resist its edge...

And what about the Chinese science fiction movies of the same year?

"Future Police" was nailed to the pillar of shame. Although the box office exceeded 100 million, its rating was as low as 3.2.

Earlier, the so-called science fiction movie "The Adventures of Zhang Feng" had a box office of 30 million and a rating of 3.5...

Horrible!

…………………………

[Groupon] When we first entered China, we were like a group of wild wolves!

Backed by [Tengji Technology], it is tearing into market segments. Its huge impact once made [Group Buying] and [Minuo Group Buying] unable to withstand it!

This is an era of huge traffic!

After about three months of fighting, both [Group Buying] and [Minuo Group Buying] have made a brand new category of products, and they have abandoned the messy online shopping products.

No matter what they do, they can't take away the astonishing share of [Taozhu.com] in terms of online shopping. If they want to build a new online shopping website under the rule of [Taozhu.com], you will only be crushed.

then……

They set their sights on two major blocks.

The first largest segment of group buying is catering services, and the second largest segment is movie ticketing.

In the field of catering, every company has their brains beaten into pieces. There are countless things like making fights offline, sneaking into stores in the middle of the night and tearing off each other's promotional posters...

In a sense, it is already close to saturation!

But the ticketing aspect is still a brand new track, and everyone is surging crazily in this track!

Today's movie tickets are roughly divided into three major blocks.

Self-built theater chains: Mainly selling tickets and opening memberships in offline shopping malls, led by Wangda Cinema and Maoku Cinema...

Traditional vertical ticketing websites: [Maimai Ticketing Network] and [Xiantiao.com] were newly launched. They were great when they were launched, but after mid-September, the traffic became less and less...

The third type is the group buying ticketing website that is the main culprit in killing traditional ticketing websites!

The sudden popularity of "Dreamland" reminded countless people of the "Avatar" movie a few months ago.

When the movie "Avatar" was first released, the online ticket purchasing system was not that popular, and there were not that many 3DIMAX theaters in China. Many people even queued up in long lines at the cinema, and took cars and planes to surrounding cities to wait in line. We waited in a long queue of nearly one or two kilometers just to watch this epic "Avatar" movie...

The amazing box office performance of "Avatar" and the amazing enthusiasm of China...

It made many people aware of the terrifying market in the Chinese film industry!

naturally...

Let those countless [group buying websites] realize that this is a huge and well-known track.

So, they swarmed into major theaters...

but!

When they rushed in, they discovered that [Groupon] had taken over half of the movie ticket sales!

October 3rd.

Tengji Technology, the company behind [Groupon], has officially cooperated with [Wanda Cinemas] to launch the 9.9 movie-viewing epic masterpiece "Dreamland". Those with high membership levels can even watch "Dreamland" for 1 cent.

They are all plain and simple routines without any new ideas.

but!

This track is becoming more and more crowded. Countless small websites are busy holding capital, but they are unable to cooperate with [Wanda Cinema Line]...

In the end, relying on the huge capital chain, the only ten companies that really ate this piece of cake were [Baotuan.com] cooperating with Tengji, [Tuan Tuan Gou] invested by Hongtian Capital, and [Minuo Group Gou] of Hongsen Capital + Tengji Technology.

"Mr. Zhang... I have seen what capital monopoly is. What should we do next?"

"Hang on!"

"Hang on until when?"

"Hang on until the capital tide recedes!"

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know..."

At that time, [Qiangsheng Online Mall] was still struggling in second- and third-tier cities.

Li Dongqiang would appear on various "earthy" TV news every day, and then introduce various preferential policies of [Qiangsheng Online Mall].

He also listened to Zhang Sheng's words and opened the ticketing system of [Qiangsheng Online Mall]. As a result, he barely got the cooperation of some second- and third-tier theaters...

These second- and third-tier theaters don't even have 3DIMAX theaters.

It's so embarrassing.

However...

It's good to be on the news in one place after another.

The daily visits of [Qiangsheng Online Mall] have once again exceeded 100,000, and the number of merchants entering the mall every day is also increasing.

It's a good deal!

It's going to be profitable soon!

……………………………………

This year's Internet.

It makes countless people feel magical.

Shen Xiaoxi looked at everyone spending hundreds of millions of dollars, which made merchants and users cheaper, and she was unconsciously a little surprised.

This money, if you spend it on yourself, even if you squander it, you can't spend it all in your lifetime!

If you spend all this money on movies...

Tsk tsk!

"Why are you drooling..."

"No, no."

There was a knock on the door in the office.

Shen Xiaoxi responded subconsciously, and when Zhang Sheng opened the door and saw Shen Xiaoxi's cheek, he pushed his glasses and smiled with a hint of curiosity.

Shen Xiaoxi quickly wiped it with her mouth, and then found that her mouth was very clean. She realized that Zhang Sheng was joking with her.

"I just thought of some happy things..."

"Are you in love?"

"Eh? No, no..."

"Ha, ha, it's okay if you are in love."

Shen Xiaoxi was stunned, blushed subconsciously, and answered with a stutter.

A thousand thoughts flashed through her mind, and she coughed lightly and was about to explain, but she saw Zhang Sheng sitting down with a smile: "It's October. Last October, we were preparing for the [Southern California International Film Awards]. I didn't expect that time would pass so quickly..."

"Yeah."

Zhang Sheng's voice was a bit sad, and Shen Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but think of October last year.

At that time...

I was a little transparent, running in and out of this circle with the student union president Chen Mengting in a daze, doing various things for Ah K.

At that time, looking at the astonishing housing prices in the big city of Yanjing, confusion and hopelessness were her main themes.

A year later...

I jumped up and became the boss of a small entertainment company.

I also made a lot of money!

Although I still can't afford to buy a house, the distance seems to be getting closer and closer.

She was thinking about taking out a loan to buy a house after finishing work in the second half of this year.

Thinking about it...

Shen Xiaoxi couldn't help but fantasize again.

"This year, the second Southern California International Film Awards will be held on November 11! It will be held at this time every year in the future..."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"

"At the same time, please help me hold a press conference. I want to say something at the press conference..."

"Ah? About what?"

"Just say that we [NC Entertainment] have a big thing to announce!"

"Okay!"

…………………………

[Tuantuangou] headquarters.

Half bald, wearing glasses but not gentle, but slightly wretched, Zhang Xing held another meeting with his team!

Facing the crazy attack of [Groupon], Zhang Xing inevitably felt a headache.

In fact, in the group buying market, [Tengji Technology] has always had the upper hand during this period.

Whether it is [Mi Nuo Group Buying] or the fierce [Groupon], they are all terribly cruel!

This market is like raising a poisonous insect. If you survive, he will die. If he survives, you will die.

Don't talk about moving forward together and making progress together.

Capital has invested so much money, and everyone is killing each other. They just want to monopolize the market and bite off a piece of meat. Who will see you keep pace?

Let's analyze the Chinese market without considering overseas capital...

In fact!

In the Chinese market, there are always three competitors.

[Tengji Technology] headed by Zheng Huateng, Ma Yunhua headed by [Taozhu.com], and [Soudu] headed by Li Bing...

After three days of negotiations, Zhang Xing finally reached a strategic agreement with [Taozhu.com] and got another sum of money.

But...

How to use this money!

This is the issue they want to discuss in this meeting.

Burn money!

You have to know how to burn it, and you have to burn it effectively!

Just after the meeting, when Zhang Xing returned to the office...

He saw a piece of news about Zhang Sheng.

【【Southern California International Film Awards】Huaxia Ambassador Zhang Sheng: Congratulations to Christopher Nore, director of the film "Dreamland", and congratulations to McCaskey, director of "Avatar", for being shortlisted for our 【Southern California International Film Awards】! 】
