    The top ten and top twenty films voted by the media in 2012 are released.  Shao Shuaijun, who was still filming "Iron Man 3" in North Carolina, read these magazines and newspapers when he was bored.  "Hollywood Entertainment Reporter", which has become more and more influential in the film industry in recent years, released a list called "Top Ten Geek Movies of 2012."  Geek movie, English is Geek-Movie. Regarding Geek, no one can accurately define the meaning of the word. It was originally a derogatory term used to describe idiots and weirdos. Now it has been used to refer specifically to people who are obsessed with technology or a certain subculture.  The scope of guys has gone far beyond the traditional definitions of game fans, animation fans, computer enthusiasts, otakus, etc.  "Avengers", with its fan base of comic book fans, special effects scenes created by computer CG, and humorous storyline, was selected as the second among the top ten geek movies.  The veteran magazine "Empire" selected the TOP20 best films of the year, and "Avengers" topped the list, defeating "The Dark Knight Rises", which is also a comic book movie, and the Oscar favorite "Escape from Tehran".  The reason given by "Empire" is simple.  "Women's Federation" has everything a summer movie should have, good-looking scenes, a passable plot, and a hot box office. Director Shao Shuaijun did not use a pretentious narrative, nor did he piece it together haphazardly, but he coordinated the six superheroes very well.  "The top five of "Empire" are "Avengers" and "Escape from Tehran".  ¡±, ¡°The Dark Knight Rises¡±, ¡°Skyfall¡± and ¡°Beasts of the Southern Wild¡±.  "Life of Pi" ranked 11th, and another R-rated comedy "Magic Mike" ranked 17th.  In addition, "Time", "Entertainment Weekly", "Rolling Stone" and other magazines also ranked the movies one after another. Although "Avengers" did not reach the top, it was ranked high.  Internal banks looked at the door, the layman watched the lively, and it came to an end in 2012.  Summit Entertainment released a report to the outside world. This year, Summit Entertainment received more than 9 billion US dollars in global box office, setting an incredible world record.  Among them, the North American box office exceeded US$3.1 billion, which is an incredible record in North America.  "The Avengers", "007: Skyfall", "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (Part 1)", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted",  "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and so on, all were box office bombs.  Among the top ten global box office films, only two are not distributed by Summit Entertainment, one is Black Rider Rising and the other is "Ice Age 4". The others are all distributed and produced by Summit Entertainment.  This year, Hollywood¡¯s box office in North America was US$11.9 billion, and its overseas box office totaled US$15.9 billion. This means that Summit Entertainment occupies half of Hollywood!  If there is a little more, it is estimated that the US antitrust organizations will have tea with the CEOs of Summit Entertainment.  The total global box office in 2012 was US$37.8 billion, and Summit Entertainment accounted for 25.4 quarter of the global box office!  "The emergence of Hollywood rulers, from independent companies to large studios, Summit Entertainment, like Shao Shuaijun, is synonymous with incredible things!" "In 2012, Summit Entertainment magnificently ascended to the top of the box office, a global giant was born, and the filming department  "This is the best-performing film company in the 20th century." The great achievements of Summit Entertainment have attracted worldwide attention and are full of envy and jealousy.  There was also Disney last year, which relied on its strong peripheral development capabilities to rival Summit Entertainment.  No one can stop Summit Entertainment this year. Jiahe Entertainment develops hardware and Summit Entertainment develops software. The combination of software and hardware makes them invincible.  No one doubts anymore that Summit Entertainment is just a flash in the pan. With the current scale of Summit Entertainment and the planned future film production, Summit Entertainment already has countless gold mines waiting to be mined. In the next ten years, no one will be able to reach Summit Entertainment.  There will be no wavering in status.  "The era of peak entertainment has arrived!" - "Times".  This year's Golden Harvest Entertainment has also created a stir in the mainland. "‡å‡å·֮‡å" has exceeded 1.3 billion yuan, becoming the new box office king of Chinese movies and the new king of mainland film history. Currently, the mainland has exceeded 1 billion yuan.  There are only two RMB-denominated movies, one "Avatar" and one "Transformers 3", both Hollywood blockbusters, but now the honor has finally been taken back by Chinese-language movies. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is another piece of news that has made headlines.  Wanda Group acquired AMC Theaters, the second largest theater chain company in North America.  AMC Cinemas is a theater company founded in Atlanta in 1992. It is an American multiplex theater company with 346 theaters and a total of 5,028 screens.  Among them, there are 120 IMAX screens and 2,170 3D screens. It is the largest IMAX and 3D screen operator in North America.    The theaters owned by AMC are concentrated in the centers of large North American cities. It owns 23 of the top 50 theaters with the largest box office in North America, and the total box office accounts for 20% of the North American market share. It is a huge company.  This acquisition took more than two years of negotiation.  Because AMC is an unlisted company (it was once listed and later privatized by JPMorgan Chase Bank), it cannot directly acquire equity, and the transactions involved are more complicated.  Originally it was Dream Chase International Holdings Group that wanted to acquire AMC Cinemas, but the U.S. government identified Dream Chase International Holdings Group, which owns Summit Entertainment Group and whose business scope includes movie companies.  The U.S. government stipulates that film companies cannot directly control theater companies.  For this reason, Chaimeng can only abandon this acquisition plan, and then let Wanda Group, which holds shares in each other, come forward to propose the acquisition plan again.  In recent years, affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the profitability of North American theater chains has been very poor, and the debt of AMC theaters has been very high.  We also intend to seek new capital to enter the market and turn losses into profits, which is why we came up with this acquisition plan.  After the acquisition is completed, Wanda Group will plan to list AMC Cinemas on the New York Stock Exchange.  By controlling Wanda Cinemas and AMC Cinemas at the same time, Wanda Group will become the world's largest cinema chain company and the largest operator of IMAX screens and 3D screens, accounting for almost half of the global share.  The expected profit will exceed Wanda Group¡¯s income from real estate.  Having Wanda Group as a natural ally holding shares in each other means that AMC Cinemas is controlled by Dream Chase International Holdings Group.  A truly super-first-class giant entertainment company has taken shape.  In this regard, the media in China and the United States have paid widespread attention.  The American media believes that Chinese films will take advantage of this shareholder trend to flood into the U.S. market, and they are even more worried that Summit Entertainment, which has interests in it, will control more theater resources and form a monopoly.  The Chinese media hopes that AMC theaters can play a role in promoting Chinese movies, but they are also worried that Wanda Group will not adapt to the climate and fall into the quagmire of AMC's losses.  However, Wanda Group and Dream Chaser Group are confident in this acquisition plan.  Wanda CEO Boss Wang attended the press conference and announced that the original AMC operating team will continue to manage the AMC theater chain. He also said: "We are optimistic about the development of the film industry. AMC theaters will become a major driver of Wanda Group's transformation. We have never been worried.  AMC will not turn a profit. What we need to consider is how to achieve sustainable development in the future. When asked by a reporter whether it would help Chinese movies enter the US market, Boss Wang said: "In principle, we naturally hope to be more successful.  Many Chinese films can be appreciated by American audiences. However, being a theater chain is not a charity. Market principles always come first. If such Chinese films cannot be recognized by American audiences, we will not promote them.  "We can guarantee a fair economic environment for Chinese films." Another reporter asked whether Summit Entertainment would use its relationship with Wanda Group to monopolize North American film screenings.  Boss Wang said: "I don't even know Mitchell Bruce. You ask us if we will join forces. We and Summit Entertainment are two companies that do not interfere with each other. AMC does not have the ability to monopolize screenings and will not monopolize it. This  It is not in the interest of AMC. Please rest assured." Having said that, concerns are inevitable.  But things are already the way they are and cannot be changed.  American theater companies basically have the shadow of major production companies behind them. Every major production company will always reach out to the upstream and downstream industries.  If Summit Entertainment wants to secure its position as a major studio, it must also intervene in the upstream and downstream of this industry to reduce its own constraints.  This is an unspoken rule.  It¡¯s just a tacit understanding.  ¡­ On the day after New Year¡¯s Day, the crew of ¡°Iron Man 3¡± burst into huge cheers. After six months of intermittent filming, ¡°Iron Man 3¡± was finally completed.  It took a week to edit the original copy of the movie and hand it over to Summit Entertainment. Shao Shuaijun and his family of three flew back to the mainland.  In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was approaching again, and Shao Shuaijun suddenly realized that it had been several years since he had spent the New Year in peace and contentment, and his son was already three years old.  To put it bluntly, since 2010, he has almost only made one movie a year. He has not worked hard to shoot movies, but he has too many projects as a producer, which takes up most of his time.  There is almost no day where I can completely relax.  After visiting some leaders and friends in Beijing, the family of three rushed back to their hometown.  Flying all over the earth, I can hardly remember what my hometown looks like.  There have been great changes in his hometown in the past few years. The main reason is that Shao Shuaijun has become rich and has invested in many public welfare undertakings in his hometown, building roads and bridges and setting up factories, which has made the whole town glow with affluent vitality.  It doesn't cost much, but it can benefit the countryside.  And many people I know from my hometown have joined dream-chasing companies, and there are not a few millionaires who came out of their hometown.  Great Director, Monopoly, InternationalHe is a different character and brings benefits to everyone. Shao Shuaijun is about to become a mythical figure in the town and the object of worship of thousands of girls.  Therefore, this year is very lively, and the door of my hometown is almost broken down.  It¡¯s lively and bustling after the Spring Festival.  (To be continued.
