Chatty Hollywood

Of course, even if the performance of the film "Pearl Harbor" is not satisfactory, it may affect the Ghost Party studio, but after all, the impact is limited.

The focus of Charlotte and their meeting this time was still on the studio’s own projects——

"Although "Small Island Cry" is not particularly impressive at the box office, considering the low cost, the return ratio is actually very high!"

As Charlotte’s secretary, Alexis read the report directly,

"At present, the North American box office performance of the film is worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and it has been released. The cost of the project, including the publicity fee, has all been recovered through the box office - we have already passed the box office and made a profit."

"So, after that, continue to explore overseas markets and try to increase revenue in the DVD and video tape market?"

As the oldest producer in the Ghost Party Studio, Mr. Westwood nodded.

"I will pay attention to this. But, Charlotte, don't you think our studio needs some more professional business producers?"

"You mean?"

"I don't think we have maximized the value of the studio's films!"

Mr. Westwood spoke freely,

"Although, because of your vision and ability, each of our films will be successful, so the profitability of the studio is not low. But I think our current vision is more on production and general distribution-these are all Using more conventional methods and using some more sophisticated operations, you can actually make money during the film production process."

"for example?"

"Like a tax refund!"

Mr. Westwood gave an example,

"Whether it is Australia, the United Kingdom, or Germany, many countries will promulgate some preferential tax rebate policies to encourage the development of their own film industry. As long as we operate, we can use these policies to get them directly before filming. This tax rebate-this is money that can be seen all at once."

"In addition, there are placement ads, as well as the maximization of income from overseas copyrights-as the studio becomes larger and stronger, especially Charlotte, your position in the Hollywood director circle is becoming more and more stable. These can all be our earning Channels to obtain profits. In this regard, the studio has always paid little attention to it."

Mr. Westwood concluded,

"I think in the future, we should strengthen some of these talents in order to dig out more profits from the film."

"This is indeed a good idea!"

Charlotte nodded.

"Before, because studios generally only started shooting one or two projects at the same time, and there were not too many films with full copyright, I didn't pay much attention to this aspect. However, it is indeed necessary to strengthen the operation in this aspect. ."

"It's fine if you agree!"

Seeing that Charlotte was willing to accept his opinion, Mr. Westwood was also very happy.

"In addition, do you think we should also expand on the distribution channels?"

"Well..."

Charlotte frowned.

At present, the movies of the Ghost Party Studios are either released through cooperation with a large film company, or they are distributed through the seven major ones with good relations, and they have not established their own distribution channels.

In this regard, it is because film distribution is more of a capital game than making films, requiring more manpower and material resources.

——Before 1999, Charlotte did not have enough capital to enter this field.

On the other hand, it is because film companies with distribution channels and film companies without distribution channels, in the eyes of the Seven Hollywood, are two completely different types——

The former is the object of cooperation, no matter how high level it is, it is also a good content provider;

The latter is a thorn in the eye, a competitor that needs to be vigilant, and it is best to find a chance to knock it to death.

——You know, Charlotte’s original time and space, the reason why DreamWorks, which was once prominent in Hollywood, was finally acquired, except for some of its own problems, because it tried to establish a strong distribution channel to challenge the Seven Hollywood——No, It was already the sixth largest at the time-the main reason.

Being targeted by the Big Six in Hollywood is naturally very troublesome.

In fact, since the 1980s, the monopoly of Hollywood's first-line producers and distributors has become more and more serious, and there is always no sign of reversal——

It was reduced from the previous Nine and Eighth to the seventh, and then MGM fell and became the sixth.

Later, Disney even acquired Fox, seeing that Hollywood is about to become the top five...

Although, in today's time and space, Hollywood's monopoly has not yet reached that level.

But even so, Charlotte does not feel that the current Seventh Conference is willing to have other companies squeeze in to get a share of the pie.

In particular, Charlotte’s Ghost Party Studio was originally attracted attention by Hollywood because of its excellent content production capabilities.

Without establishing a strong distribution channel, they are the targets of Hollywood's seven competitions.

But once they have a strong distribution capability, they will be the same as another DreamWorks in time and space, called the target of a joint attack...

Of course, this does not mean that Charlotte completely abandoned the goal of making the studio bigger and stronger because of this concern.

He was actually waiting for the opportunity--

On the one hand, he was looking for opportunities to directly acquire one in the process of seeing whether he could be in the top seven of Hollywood.

This kind of backdoor listing method is much easier than establishing a channel from scratch. And it will not be hit by a joint attack;

——However, although he has a wealth of wealth at present, it is still a bit difficult to acquire one of the seven.

——This is also an important reason why his front-end time began to wonder how to make money.

At the same time ~www.readwn.com~Charlotte is also waiting for the development of Internet technology.

After all, according to the Matthew effect of the strong Hengqiang, it is difficult to wait for the Seven Hollywood to give up their monopoly.

However, technological change may turn the invincible giant of the past into a paper man that can be prodded by a finger in a blink of an eye.

In fact, Charlotte was originally in time and space, and later the rise of Netflix, a film and television company that relies on the Internet, has such a flavor.

But now, Charlotte has taken advantage of the burst of the Internet bubble at the end of the 20th century and has mastered a large amount of equity in Netflix, which is still relatively weak.

What's more, he has completely entered the ia company that will dominate the 3D movie market in the future.

Moreover, because of Charlotte's application of ia technology in "Detective Sherlock Holmes" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", ia has already begun its invasion of the Hollywood film industry earlier than the original time and space.

——Charlotte’s various layouts are slowly exerting their power...
