Chapter 386 Mr. Title went to sleep(1/2)

Mr. Lei's new energy vehicle launch conference was generally quite successful.

The response from all walks of life is also good. It is considered the first shot. Luo Fan can be regarded as relieved. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that this step has been completed, the subsequent development should be smoother.

"Boss, Mr. Qin just told me that after Mr. Lei's press conference is over, he asked me to inform her. She should come to you for something," Su Qing said.

"Um, then tell her to come over quickly if anything happens! It's already 5 o'clock, so tell her to hurry up."

Su Qing nodded and conveyed Luo Fan's words to Qin Beibei.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.

Luo Fan motioned to Amelia Su to open the door.

Su Qing led Qin Beibei to Luo Fan's desk.

"Boss, I want to discuss with you about wandering the earth." Qin Beibei said straight to the point.

"The Wandering Earth? Isn't the promotion plan for this movie already determined?"

"I'm not talking about domestic propaganda, but foreign propaganda."

"Abroad? Do you still want The Wandering Earth to be released abroad?" Luo Fan asked in surprise.

"Yes, boss, I think the quality of The Wandering Earth can definitely be screened abroad."

"Have you ever asked foreign film distribution companies?"

"I've asked, but I'm not satisfied that foreign publishers are too shady."

"What do you want?"

"Boss, we can consider acquiring a foreign distribution company."

Luo Fan, who was drinking coffee, almost choked when he heard Qin Beibei's words.

"Qin Beibei, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Boss, I know exactly what I'm talking about. My idea is no different from when you first invested in theaters, boss.

At that time, the company did not have enough funds. The cinema here in Shanghai only had an area of ​​300 square meters and three large screening rooms. Didn't you still work?

There is absolutely no problem in acquiring ZIM, a foreign distribution company, with its current financial resources."

Luo Fan was silent after hearing this. If there was no epidemic, he would not mind acquiring a foreign distribution company.

Because the film industry is indeed very profitable, having a foreign distribution company is also very beneficial to the subsequent development of Xingyuan Entertainment.

Once there is a foreign distribution company, Xingyuan can also start pursuing simultaneous global release of the film.

Whether a movie can maximize profits, it is actually very important to release it globally simultaneously. Those popular movies in the United States generally seek global synchronization.

This is not only needed by the film studios, but also by domestic theaters and stakeholders, and the urgency can be said to be equally high.

Even if they cannot be synchronized, try to keep the time span as small as possible, otherwise once the sequel is released, it will inevitably affect the box office revenue of a region.

For example, Avengers: Endgame was released in China a week earlier than in the United States.

This is also for China's box office revenue.

Fans in the United States can only endure it for a week and block all Avengers 4 keywords on the Internet that week to prevent spoilers.

But a week late is the limit, a year late, or even half a year late. How many people will come to the cinema to watch the movie by then?

However, American films can be screened around the world because the American film production system is very mature.

On the other hand, China's films have not yet reached industrial standards, and commercial films cannot compete with Hollywood. It is a thankless task for China's purely commercial films to compete in overseas markets.

Take The Wandering Earth as an example. Luo Fan remembered that in his previous life, The Wandering Earth became a big hit in China, so he also sought to release it in the United States.

The number of screens allocated to The Wandering Earth at that time was pitiful, and its final box office, judging from a single screen, was only average or below average among Hollywood movies.

This is also the reason why Luo Fan did not want The Wandering Earth to be released in the United States at first.

As for the Chinese films that want to win awards, time is actually not important at all for such films.

Because most of these movies are realistic dramas, or even literary and artistic films that are obscure to ordinary people.

Even Hollywood's literary films don't have a big market.

For example, the Oscar-winning film "Green Book" had mediocre box office results in the end.

Most of the people who contribute to the box office of this type of film really like movies, and like to watch good movies in an atmospheric place like a theater.

So to sum up, Luo Fan is not unaware of the necessity of simultaneous screening around the world.

But in Luo Fan's view, even if Chinese movies are supported by Star Engine, they won't be able to get high box office if they are screened simultaneously around the world because the industrial system is not perfect enough.

Moreover, the epidemic may still break out, and the impact of the epidemic on the film industry will be too great. At this time, acquiring a distribution company is not just throwing money into the sea?

Thinking of this, Luo Fan directly rejected Qin Beibei's proposal and told Qin Beibei his thoughts.

Qin Beibei tried to persuade Luo Fan, but Luo Fan's attitude was very tough, so she could only leave with a disappointed look on her face.

Qin Beibei came out of Luo Fan's office and dialed Teng Shanfeng's phone: "Mr. Teng, the boss refused. He did not agree to acquire the distribution company in the United States."

"Why? We finally got in touch with Disney, and now Xingyuan's special effects team is also famous in Hollywood. Now is the perfect time for us to enter Hollywood!" Teng Shanfeng said.

"The boss is not opposed to entering Hollywood. He does not want to acquire a distribution company. The boss believes that China's film industry system is too far behind Hollywood. Even if it can be released simultaneously, it will not make money."

"The gap in the industrial system can be bridged."

"You can tell the boss yourself, I won't go." After saying that, Qin Beibei hung up the phone.

After that, Teng Shanfeng actually went to find Luo Fan. Luo Fan could tell that Teng Shanfeng really loved this industry.

However, Luo Fan has no plans to increase investment in Xingyuan Entertainment and its related industries, especially the acquisition of foreign distribution companies, which is even more impossible.

After Teng Shanfeng was rejected by Luo Fan, he left with the same disappointment as Qin Beibei.

After solving this matter, nothing major happened in the company for half a month.

Before we knew it, the time came to February 12, 2018. Today is Xingyuan’s annual meeting.

As the number of Xingyuan staff increases, the scale of the annual meeting becomes larger and larger, and various programs become more and more exciting.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the fixed lottery items.

This year’s first prize is still a 160-square-meter mansion in Shanghai, the second prize is four 50-square-meter one-bedroom apartments, the third prize is 10 big red envelopes of 200,000 yuan, and the fourth prize is 100 yuan.

A New Year shopping quota of 20,000 yuan from Pinduoduo.

The rest is the consolation prize of 5,000 yuan in red envelopes.

This year's first prize was won by an old employee who has worked in the company for 5 years.

This old employee bought the original shares of Xiaopozhan and Pinduoduo when they were listed, and has long since achieved economic freedom. This house is the icing on the cake.

Of the remaining 4 small apartments, 2 were taken by newcomers who had been working for less than a year, and the remaining 2 were taken by old employees.

Of the 10 big red envelopes worth 200,000 yuan, only one was taken away by the new employee, and the rest were taken away by the old employees.

As for the senior executives of Xingyuan, they didn't even win a single fourth prize in the lottery this year. They were all consolation prizes.

"Tsk! We are really unlucky this year! We don't even get a fourth prize, let alone a grand prize." Wang Jing said.

"Brother Wang, are you still interested in this little money?" Li Jingyi asked.

"Whether you can like it or not is one thing, the key is to be happy."

"Indeed, Brother Wang is right. I won a prize during the Chinese New Year. If nothing else, I feel at least comfortable." Xu Jiale agreed.

"Speaking of Chinese New Year, what kind of customs do you have there? I heard that there is a big difference between the customs of the north and the south during the Chinese New Year." Wang Hui asked.

"There is indeed a big difference. Let me talk about myself first! We, B, focus on food during the Spring Festival.

There is a folk song circulated by Lao B: "Tanggua is used to sacrifice the stove, and the New Year is coming." The first food to enter the festival is Tanggua, Guandong sugar and other snacks used to "sacrifice the stove", which indicates that the Spring Festival is coming soon.

The New Year is here when you finish eating Laba porridge. The New Year's Eve dinner must include meatballs and fish, which symbolizes "family reunion" and "more than enough every year."

According to traditional customs, dumplings must be eaten, but instead of eating dumplings on New Year's Eve, Old B pays attention to eating "Wuguang Dumplings", which is eaten on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year." Old B Zhou Yuqing told everyone

Popular science.

"We Northeasterners are different. We here are used to calling the Spring Festival the "New Year."

We Northeasterners like to eat dumplings. During the Laba Festival, we start to pickle Laba garlic, which is a must-have ingredient for dipping dumplings.

After the Laba Festival, we start preparing for the New Year. The most important thing is to kill the pig. When killing the pig, people will stew the fat, blood sausage and sauerkraut in a big pot. This is a Northeastern tradition.

The famous "pork-killing vegetable"." Teng Shanfeng said.

"Boss, where are you?" Xu Jiale asked.

"Our Shanxi should be similar to Hebei, the hometown of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qin. If I say it casually, you will understand.

Twenty-one, come and clean the house; twenty-three, send the stove king; twenty-five, the window of the lake; twenty-six, stew the meat; twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; twenty-eight, make the dough; twenty-nine, post it

Spring couplets; on New Year’s Eve, the whole family happily eats dumplings.”

After listening to Luo Fan's words, Wang Jing said with a smile: "It's almost the same, but most of us here are cleaning houses around the clock. After the new year, it will be the second day of the Lunar New Year, the third day of the door, and the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Firecrackers will be set off, and Yangko dance will be performed, but needlework is not allowed.

live."

As they spoke, Xingyuan's senior executives also had a flash of nostalgia in their eyes, obviously remembering the scene during the New Year.
