The Director of Music Department

"Are Director Yang and Director Wang Yifan familiar?" Zhao Dongming asked before the premiere ceremony officially began.

Yang Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Dao Wang usually sees the dragon without seeing the head, and I rarely see him."

Yang Qing can indeed be said to be the best director planned by Rising Stars.

Nowadays, he is even more ambitious to become the first director planned by Rising Star.

In fact, Wang Yifan really didn't care too much about job-hopping.

Especially the directors of the New Star Guidance Project, because there are too many, the New Star Guidance Project, in Wang Yifan's view, is more to give these new directors a chance, a chance to practice and test.

It is not up to Wang Yifan to decide how far it can go afterwards.

It is impossible for him to be a nanny for them.

In fact, there are too many directors for the New Star Guidance Project, and Huaxin cannot have so many projects. Therefore, the outflow of directors of the New Star Guidance Project was originally expected.

The reason why Yang Qing quit was because people went to higher places. After all, for Huaxin, Huaxin really has no shortage of directors, and Yang Qing is not that important to Huaxin.

For Ari Media, Yang Qing is very important, after all, he is the seed of a great director.

So when Ali Media reached out to the olive branch, he went straight ahead.

"Director Wang Yifan and Wansheng Huanyu have cooperated with Times Guangying, Shengtang Jiuzhou, etc. You said, is it possible for him to cooperate with our Ari media?" Zhao Dongming suddenly asked.

Yang Qing glanced at Zhao Dongming with a little surprise, and then asked, "What kind of cooperation is the cooperation that Mr. Zhao said? To what extent and what kind of cooperation?"

Yang Qing naturally has his reason to ask this question. For cooperation, Huaxin and Ari Media also cooperate, but it depends on the degree of cooperation.

Zhao Dongming smiled and said, "For example, two companies co-lead and collaborate on a film project."

Yang Qing shook his head and said: "In China, I think it is unlikely, because Director Wang Yifan has not focused on the domestic market, but has focused on the global market. This is the case with the Marvel Universe Project."

"What about foreign countries? For example, cooperating in a Hollywood movie?" Zhao Dongming said with a smile.

Yang Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao meant, foreign movies? Movies aimed at the North American market?"

Zhao Dongming nodded and sighed: "Actually, Ali Media's overseas strategy is not going too smoothly. What is most lacking right now is a hot item..."

Yes, Ali Media acquired the Imperial Cinemas. In fact, this step cannot be said to have gone bad, but the fact is that obviously the influence of foreign cinemas is not as great as Ali Media initially imagined.

For example, the Imperial Cinemas, in fact, has been operating at a loss since the acquisition by Ari Media.

Yes, the big Hollywood giants apparently support Ali Media’s acquisition of Empire Cinemas. Even the shareholders of Empire Cinemas had the shadow of several giants, but they did not hinder Ali Media’s acquisition.

But in fact, only after the real acquisition did Ari Media discover that the domestic theater chains and the North American theater chains are completely different.

The domestic theaters have a strong voice, but the North American theaters, in fact, rely on the breath of several giants.

Because the operating cost of its own theater in North America is much higher than that in China, but it is an asset-heavy industry.

The profit is very meager, so it's no wonder that they are not opposed to Ari's acquisition, because it is really not so easy to find someone who is taken advantage of.

And they have long known that cinema chains have never had much say in North America.

The degree of marketization in North America is obviously much higher than that in China.

And the higher degree of marketization means that it is not impossible to operate like the domestic one, but the price to be paid is higher.

You know, the domestic theater chains are very strong. This can be seen from the movie box office achievements.

The box office share of domestic movie theaters has always been the largest, while in North America, the box office share of movie theaters has been very, very low in the previous few weeks.

Even at the lowest point, only 10%.

It can be said that the low is outrageous, but because they have a lot of surrounding industrial chains, the demand is the flow of people.

And the ones that can bring traffic are naturally hit movies. It is content!

Several major media giants in Hollywood control the most upstream resource of the film industry chain, and that is high-quality content!

Therefore, the major Hollywood media giants can be said to have absolute control in this regard.

When a movie bursts out, once the distributor excludes you, no, you don’t even need to be excluded directly. It only needs to be delayed for a period of time, and then it will be a huge blow to the revenue of the theater.

Therefore, a stable supply of high-quality content is the way to survive in North American theaters.

But this one is not under control.

Of course, one thousand enemies hurt and eight hundred. Hollywood giants, once they target the theaters controlled by Ari Media, after all, the imperial theaters also have a large scale, which will also make their movies drop a lot faster. screen.

Therefore, what Ari Media needs is to find high-quality content on its own so that a balance can be formed at that time.

Let the imperial cinemas no longer be subject to Hollywood movie giants.

At the beginning, Ari Media's idea was to look for opportunities from domestic and Hollywood independent films.

But as a result, in the domestic area, it is clear that there are not many that can really go abroad and conquer the North American audience.

Wang Yifan seemed to be the most powerful one.

And Hollywood independent films, don’t look like they are separated from the big giants, but in fact, most of the time, Hollywood’s independent films are almost hard to see, even if they are there, they have been owned by the big giants very early. The issuing company is in the pocket.

Therefore, this road will not work either.

There is no shortage of film sources, but what is lacking is good film sources!

Night is coming!

The premiere of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", Ari Media also made a big deal, and it was directly held in the CPPCC Auditorium.

And even though Ali is said to be a new giant, the Ali Group itself is a domestic Internet giant, so the face is still quite impressive.

Regarding the star lineup, the premiere of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is not even worse than any award ceremony.

Of course, if Ari Media is engaged in such a big battle, it must be expensive.

Not to mention anything else, for just such a premiere, Ari Media spent at least tens of millions of Chinese dollars.

Yes, there is no appearance fee for celebrities to join the show, but there are many other costs, such as the huge grand prize screen. After all, it is impossible to provide you with this in the CPPCC Auditorium. It depends on the hosting company to pay for it.

Secondly, the rental fee for the auditorium itself is not a small amount, plus the overall arrangement and so on.

These all cost money.

However, for the cast of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and the goal of Ari Media, the money is really sprinkled.
