    "You mean, the movie in the same period as "Little Miss Sunshine"?"

    If there is any conflict of interest, the first thing Ye Wei thinks of is the schedule.

    "Yes, I infer that this is the most likely possibility." Brian's serious voice came from the mobile phone.

    The best release date is to do the right thing in the right place at the right time, and the film crash is an aspect that must be considered.  There are many new movies released every week in North America, and it is inevitable that there will be a variety of themes, contents, topics, etc., all competing for the same audience.

    Today, in fact, Hollywood distributors have gradually shown a trend of "alumniization", because company executives often change owners, which has led to two situations. First, everyone has friends in other companies.  Secondly, maybe next year I will join my current rival company.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone makes money by being harmonious, not to mention using underhanded tactics to harm others. The enthusiasm for legitimate competition is lacking. What is the current style?  Communicate on the phone, in meetings, etc., "Hey, we also have to release the film on April 1st.", "We do the same, okay, how should we adjust?"

    "If anyone hits his opponent hard by any means, he will also suffer the same blow. In business, everyone will lose. Just like using nuclear weapons to win, two nuclear-armed countries will not fight a nuclear war.

    And as an employee, the company's interests come second and personal interests come first. The top space of the pyramid is very small. Who doesn't want to be kicked out by others? You still have to abide by some rules, otherwise you will be kicked out just after bringing a big victory to the company.  Who would do this if he was fired and his position as a senior executive was taken by someone else? The company won and the person lost?

    Car crashes are really not good for each other. How to choose the best date wisely while trying to avoid car crashes and maximizing benefits is what everyone is most concerned about.

    However, this world is not a paradise. Car crashes are inevitable, as is competition.

    In February 2033, Lionsgate Pictures announced that its important film "The Punisher" was scheduled to be released on April 6, 204. Miramax's "Kill Bill 2" was also scheduled to be released on April 6, 2004. It was also B  A high-level action-thriller drama, also targeting young men, neither company was willing to change the schedule.

    So there was a showdown that week. In the end, "Kill Bill 2" took in 3.55 million box office in 271 theaters, defeating "The Punisher" which took in 17.87 million in 249 theaters. Their global box office when they were released was 600 million.  ¡Ã05.4 billion, "Kill Bill 2" killed "The Punisher".

    However, Miramax did not consistently hype its box office, because it did not want to offend Lionsgate and cause greater conflicts, so it secretly enjoyed the success of the crash.

    There is such a thing as revenge in the world. In the same year of 204, Disney and Pixar's animated masterpiece "The Incredibles" was scheduled to be released on October 1, with a production fee of 60,000, 333 theaters, and the top brand. No one wanted to do it.  No one can get along with it, except DreamWorks.  The animated masterpiece "Shark Tale" is scheduled to be released on October 1, with a production fee of 7.56 million and 406 theaters.  This really shocked the media and the public. Why?

    Because Jeffrey Katzenberg, the CPO and one of the founders of DreamWorks Animation, used to be the head of Disney's production department and one of the people who saved Disney, but because of his disagreement with CPO and chairman of the board Michael Eisner  After disagreements and fierce quarrels, he was kicked out, and DreamWorks was born.

    The success of "Shrek" gave DreamWorks the confidence to challenge Disney. "Shark Story" deliberately crashed, and a fierce battle seemed inevitable.

    It¡¯s just that Disney has disappointed the outside world. The release date of "The Incredibles" has been changed to November 6, and there is no interest in the showdown.  If DreamWorks changed it again, it would have passed the line. No, in the end, "Shark Story" had a global box office of B600 million, and "The Incredibles" had a global box office of RMB600-100 million. Everyone was happy in business.

    Sometimes it's about avoiding collisions, sometimes it's about looking for collisions. Film scheduling is really a science. Now distributors not only make their own decisions, but also spend money on relevant neutral statistical survey companies to get a more comprehensive analysis.  and coordination.

    "Little Miss Daylight" is scheduled to be released on May 1st. What a great day, Friday is Veterans Day. Once the film has the potential to hit the awards season, there is still enough time to sign up and build momentum, and it is also scheduled to be released on February 2nd.  "Munich Massacre" is staggered, and enemies meet on a narrow road. Although it is not a collision with the same audience, it is more topical, easily arouses interest from the outside world, and is conducive to publicity.

    But no matter what, once the schedule is set, there will be a conflict of interest. Although the consumption behavior of movie audiences is random and the number of movie viewings is not fixed, the more movies there are, the hotter the market, the higher the weekly box office total, and the more topics there are.  It may be a win-win situation, but the problem is that there is more than one film that wants to be the weekly champion, and the cake is often almost entirely eaten by the weekly champion.

    On May 4th, "Chicken Story", Disney, 600 million production fee, cartoon, target audience of all ages.

    On May 4th, "Jarhead", Universal, production fee of 260,000, directed by Sam Jadez, starring Jack Harrenhaar and this year's Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, war biopic, target adult male audience  group, targeting awards season.

      On May 1st, "Jumanji 2", with a production fee of 660,000, Sony/Columbia, directed by Jon Favreau, starring Kristen Stewart, a science fiction comedy, targeting teenagers and family audiences.

    On May 11, "Money Not Life", with a production fee of 40UU, Paramount, is a semi-biographical action crime film starring hip-hop star 50 Cent, targeting fans, hip-hop fans, and black adult audiences.

    "Pride and Prejudice" was released on May 1st, focus, production fee of 260,000, starring Keira Knightley, romantic drama, target couple audience, target awards season.

    On May 1st, "The Dragon", Miramax, production fee of 260,000, starring Jennifer Aniston, thriller drama, target adult audience, target award season.

    ? ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡»

    On May 18th, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", Warner Bros., with a production fee of 600 million, is a fantasy film targeting audiences of all ages.

    On May 18th, "Walking with the Song", 20th Century Fox, with a production fee of 260,000, is a music biopic targeting Johnny Cash fans and audiences of all ages.

    If this frame-up was caused by a schedule collision, then it stands to reason that the mastermind behind the scenes is inseparable from these films. Who is it?

    "Harry Potter" can be crossed out first; Paramount and DreamWorks have a good relationship, and the market for "Money or Life" is completely different, so it can also be crossed out; "Jarhead", "Jade Dragon", "Video"  The conflict of "Peers" is not high.

    The biggest suspects are Sony/Columbia, "Jumanji 2", and Ye Wei's background; Focus is also suspected, not Shams, but David Lind, if the current cast of "Little Miss Sunshine" is successful, it will  Let him lose the opportunity to compete for Universal CPO; Disney?  Maybe it's Kevin Spacey in "The Usual Suspects," and they have a reason to do that, with the feud with DreamWorks.

    ¡°Does that woman look Japanese?¡± Brian asked.

    "You can't tell, that's a hot bitch, so hot that my China, Japan and South Korea radar failed." Ye Wei smiled at himself, looked at the scenery outside the car, and said: "Besides, even if it was made by Sony  , why do you have to find a Japanese, you can just find a Chinese, the most indispensable thing on the earth is a bitch. "

    "It seems that you understood what I said. It's possible for anyone. Remember, no matter what the situation, be careful what you say. You can talk about my butt, your butt, but don't talk about race, politics, homosexuality they  It can't come out of your mouth, understand?"

    Brian warned again and again, very seriously: "I am a Jew, but I don't even like to say this word, understand? You don't have to answer me. Whenever you encounter this kind of topic, you will go further and further away."  The better. Boy, what you need now is time. When you become more and more important, the Chinese film market will become more and more important. Even if someone is unhappy with you and wants to throw you down, there will be more people holding you up.  "

    In fact, VIY was a long-term plan from the beginning, but Ye Wei¡¯s explosive power caught everyone off guard.

    "I know what to do." Ye Wei smiled again.

    "You have to be especially careful lately. They probably won't give up like this. I won't be surprised if tomorrow's tabloid reports that you were rejected for hooking up with a fan. I'll keep an eye on you here and tell Tom that I'll do it for them too.  "Don't think too much, just do your job and find some fun that doesn't cause trouble or hurt yourself," Brian said.

    Ye Wei heard the words and smiled and said: "Hey, brother, you don't have to worry about this, I always find fun."

    After ending the call, Ye Wei opened the address book on his mobile phone. He seemed to want to talk to someone about this matter, but talking to his friends would only make them angry and worried and disturb their studies. He was not  I want to find comfort, I just want to talk I paused on a name and slid over

    Nina?  Almost pressing dial and canceling, men should not face difficulties on their own to make women happy.

    Ye Wei spread his hands and let go, dropped his mobile phone to the edge of the driver's seat, and said to the pale pink piggy stuffed doll Nina hand-sewn on the dashboard, their love mascot "Mimi": "The ugly world,  Right?"

    Holding the steering wheel with both hands, his eyes were focused on the road in the distance of the parking lot, "Mimi, let me tell you, I am invincible in this game."

    Why?

    "Because I never cared about being an idol, all I cared about was making movies. Even if the whole of Hollywood boycotts me and I can't even make independent films, will I be finished? No, I know there is a place that will always open its arms to me, and that is  The place I come from is not Los Angeles, but China, a great country with a history of 66 years.

    You know the vast majority of people in North America don¡¯t understand China. They have never set foot on that land. They just read nonsense in the media that only reports negative news about China. They think they are smart and say this and that. They are a bunch of idiots.  .  Brian is right in saying that the Chinese film market is becoming more and more important.Well, since when has it become a big box office? Let¡¯s see if Hollywood can make movies and TV shows with a bunch of Chinese actors.  Man, it's all about the money

    Not everything, one thing I know that has nothing to do with money is that there will always be a seat for me in China, the Chinese people have the final say and I will never run out of opportunities to make movies, that's why I'm invincible, damn it  Ma Xingfu, haha¡±

    Ye Wei laughed loudly as he spoke. He looked at Mimi and his voice became cold again: "But I won't go back like this. I want to win this game and change the rules of the game."

    I don¡¯t need to know who my opponent is, white, Jewish, black, Japanese, alien?  I don't care, gentlemen, who do you think you're dealing with?  "

    The ignition sound of the Land Rover sounded, Ye Wei stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped forward.

    "You want to play? Then play"
