Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"Oh? What trouble?" Xia Yuan frowned.

Is this a problem again?

Although this was their first time in Hollywood, they seemed to have no connection with anyone or anything here.

This is a completely new and unfamiliar market.

But since the first play, there have been a lot of things happening and there has been no peace.

First of all, I don’t know why a giant company like 21st Century Fox would do this to itself.

This caused them a lot of trouble one after another.

Just because the headhunting company refused to cooperate with them, they had already wasted a lot of time in the actor selection process.

That is the special nature of their company. They are not afraid of losing money. If it were an ordinary small and medium-sized enterprise, they really could not afford to delay a project. The delay in progress might seriously damage their vitality and make them unable to recover.

It was obvious that the other party was here to kill me.

But what is puzzling is that they seem to have never had any contact with the 21st Century Fox Company. Why do they want to come and beat them up when they see them, as if their parents have been killed?

It's very confusing.

And now that the film is about to be completed, there is trouble again?
Tang Ying was sitting next to Xia Yuan and said, "There was a problem with the cinema chain this time. We were originally talking well, but they suddenly replied two days ago and said they didn't plan to continue cooperating with us. Now we have to look for the cinema chain again."

"Is there a problem with the cinema?" Xia Yuan frowned.

The red lines in America are relatively loose, so basically there won't be any problems with submitting your film for review, and you don't need to consider this aspect, unless you are particularly suicidal and shoot something particularly inhumane, otherwise you will never run into any red lines and get stuck in America.

Then the only place where problems could arise is with the cinemas.

As for the theaters where the film will be released after filming, they have actually already decided on it.

Because when it comes to movies, before filming, we have actually already reached an agreement with the theaters. We first determine the theaters where the film will be released, and then we start filming. In this way, everything is arranged properly, and when the filming is finished, it can be released directly. The process is very smooth and there is no waste of time.

The cinema chains they negotiated with this time are also very common cinema chains, basically the most well-known and largest cinema chains in America.

This was something that had been discussed long before the release, but now there is a problem?
But what is a cinema?
This is the most important part of a movie release, no doubt about it.

Otherwise, no matter how well you make a movie and how much you invest in it, what’s the point if there is no theater to show it?

"Is it a cinema?"

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

But soon, he stopped thinking about it.

"Let's shoot first, and we'll talk about it later." Xia Yuan said, "Don't forget, we are not afraid of trouble at all."

Again, if this kind of thing happened to an ordinary company, it would indeed be a huge blow. Although it would not drag down the company directly, the losses caused by every day of delay would be huge. For any small and medium-sized enterprise, especially those that come across the ocean and need to consider the issue of exchange rate depreciation, it would be fatal.

If my guess is correct, there is probably a familiar shadow behind this incident, that is, the 21st Century Fox Film Company.

Although I don't know why they have to make things difficult for me, it seems like there is no one else but them now.

"Although this makes people uncomfortable, we have to admit that they really couldn't imagine that we are not afraid of this at all," said Tang Ying.

Again, they can make a loss on their own, but now that they have been screwed, it is more or less uncomfortable. To put it in an analogy, it is like having a mosquito circling around you.

Although it is harmless to you and cannot cause you any specific losses, you just feel disgusted.

But actually this is not a big deal. We can talk about the cinema chain matters when the time comes.

However, the name of 21st Century Fox Film was silently marked in Tang Ying's little notebook.

As for Xia Yuan's ideas, they have always been very simple. He would never deliberately ruin a good script. He would always do his best to make it good.

He only regarded the senior's system as a bottom line, a guarantee, which allowed him to act recklessly and try all kinds of new ideas.

This includes but is not limited to specifically picking out bad scripts and making them well.

Think about it, how many directors dream of revitalizing a bad script and turning it into a classic movie?
Xia Yuan now has this guarantee, he must do this!

As for deliberately making things bad, ruining a good script, or hiding drugs in the movie?
Xia Yuan felt that this was against his professional ethics and his duties as a director. It was irresponsible to his fans and he would never do this in his life!

It would be best if they could make a loss, but even if they can't, they won't lose a penny and can still use the money to build the company.

Therefore, there is no need to think about the cinema chain for now, and we can deal with it later. Fox Film and Television of the 21st Century cannot be so powerful that all the mainstream cinema chains refuse to show their movies?
Even if Fox 21st Century Entertainment is really that powerful, wouldn't they not lose out if they refuse to cooperate with them? If the film cannot be released, they will be judged as a full loss, and the rebate will be guaranteed.

It's just that Xia Yuan feels very unhappy because the movie he made cannot be released and he cannot show his work to the audience.

So, at worst we can talk about it later.

"If it really doesn't work, we can open our own cinema chain. Since they don't like to play with us, we can just smash the plate and start a new business. We can lose more this way." Xia Yuan suggested: "For example, we can open our own cinema chain or a headhunting company."

"Fuck, that's right!" These words made Tang Ying's eyes light up.

You know, cinema chains are a real business! The scale of your cinema chain is linked to the number of offline cinemas and their coverage.

Every time a cinema is built, a lot of money needs to be spent.

Moreover, the market share is now basically determined, and the market share has long been divided up by those old-fashioned theater chains.

This is a market that is destined not to allow new entrants to share the pie.

Otherwise, think about it, if you are one of those companies that has already been deeply rooted in the industry, would you like to see a new entrant share the cake with you?

That's absolutely impossible!
Once you get involved in this game, you will lose everything you have. It is very difficult to make money. Moreover, the initial investment is extremely huge. The payback period of this industry is calculated in years.

It can be said to be a big pit.

Moreover, nowadays is the Internet age and the streaming media age, and the scale of the real economy is shrinking year by year.

Join now?

Damn, isn't that a lot of potential?

"I think we can do it!" Tang Ying made the decision immediately, becoming more and more eager to try.
