Chapter 569 The Butterfly Effect
Otherwise, Su Chen would be everywhere all day long.
I'm tired of watching it.
More importantly, Su Chen's family is the only one in power and is the most popular, making all the other celebrities in the entertainment industry seem like waste.
This made some celebrities in the entertainment industry quite uncomfortable.
But what surprised them was.
Although they are no longer the Internet celebrities, their income has increased exponentially over the past year or so.
Some professionals analyzed that this was due to Su Chen's butterfly effect, which caused the entire entertainment industry's pie to become bigger.
So it becomes easier for everyone to make money.
However, even if this was the case, they still did not want to accept Su Chen's favor.
Because they prefer their previous life when they were the leader in the entertainment industry.
Because money is important, honor is also important.
But if they relied on their own real abilities, they would not be able to defeat Su Chen.
So they can only hope that Chenglong and Stephen Chow will be able to give them some vent this time.
…
The news that Su Chen's animated film was about to be released spread to the Ugly Country and immediately attracted the attention of the entire network.
"Su Chen's animated film "Boonie Bears: Return to Earth" is scheduled to be released during the Chinese New Year!"
This news immediately topped the hot search list.
At this time, Su Chen had already become a world-class superstar, coupled with a series of showy operations in the Ugly Country.
He has become the most watched entertainment star in the country.
The sensational effect caused by Su Chen's every move is unmatched by any other star.
Although, most netizens in the Ugly Country are not optimistic about Su Chen's animated film.
But they are still eager to see the movie released.
"I can finally watch Brother Chen's animated film! I just wonder what quality it will be?"
"As the Chinese say, you can tell whether it's a mule or a horse by taking it out for a spin!"
"I don't have very high expectations, but as long as the plot is good, it's fine! The technical effects are definitely not comparable to the animations in our ugly Hollywood."
"The point is that Su Chen actually had the courage to release his crappy anime movie in the Ugly Country! This is a bit too much!"
"Perhaps this is Su Chen's style! He has always been so unique!"
“…”
Of course, those angry young people in the ugly country became even more excited at this time.
They attacked Su Chen madly in all ways.
It is believed that the technical level of Su Chen’s animated films lags behind that of the Ugly Country by at least thirty years!
Such a rubbish animated film also wants to reap the box office of the ugly country?
It's an international joke!
The news about Su Chen's animated film attracted the attention of the American director Kugler.
Because Coogler is the director and screenwriter of "Black Panther 2".
And this movie has already been decided to enter the Chinese New Year holiday box office.
In recent years, China's box office market has been extremely hot, earning billions of Chinese yuan at any time. How can you not make such easy money?
Internationally, the Chinese are now described as "stupid but rich".
The Spring Festival, May Day, summer vacation and other holiday periods are the best time to reap movie box office revenue.
Therefore, the producers of "Black Panther 2" have already decided to hit the Chinese Spring Festival schedule.
In this case.
Suchen's animated film may become a threat to "Black Panther 2".
After all, Su Chen has magical attributes, and he is even more weird in China.
Although the animated film "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" is definitely not very good in terms of technical level.
But, maybe the fans of China just blindly support Su Chen?
It’s really hard to say.
As for Su Chen's animated film, will it impact the box office of "Black Panther 2" in the United States?
That's impossible.
Because just today, "Black Panther 2" has premiered in the United States.
The box office numbers are pretty good.
After all, there is the fan base of "Black Panther 1".
By the time Su Chen's "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" was released, "Black Panther 2" had already been released for twenty days.
By that time, almost all the box office revenue would have been collected.
There is basically no threat anymore.
Well, there is no point in thinking too much. In a word, Su Chen, the opponent, must be taken seriously.
Otherwise, those who were crushed to death by Su Chen in the past would serve as a lesson for us.
At that moment, Coogler immediately made a request to the film's production company.
It is necessary to increase the publicity of "Black Panther 2" in China.
…
The review process of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" was completed quickly.
After all, this is an anime movie and there is no sensitive information.
Next, the film immediately entered the stage of comprehensive promotion and marketing.
As for the domestic film scheduling, there is no problem.
In view of Su Chen's reputation, without any hesitation, major theaters gave 30% of the screening time to "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Of course, at this time, major theaters emphasized that:
If the attendance and box office of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" do not meet expectations, they will gradually reduce the screenings of the film.
After all, all major cinema chains want to make money, and they will not violate business rules just for Su Chen's face.
Of course, Su Chen and Xingyi did not make any unreasonable demands.
Su Chen is not that kind of person.
In fact, Su Chen knows better than anyone that the entertainment industry is a world of fame and fortune.
Everyone is out here for fame and fortune.
When you are unable to give others fame and fortune, they will ignore you.
Besides, Su Chen already controlled the Dadi Cinema Chain at this time.
To a large extent, you can decide the life and death .
There is no need to be so shameless as to make unreasonable demands on others.
In this way, the domestic scheduling and release issues were quickly arranged.
Next, it’s about overseas promotion and release.
At this time, after receiving the notice from Xingyi Media, agents in various overseas regions sent people to contact them for agency and release matters.
Agents in various regions of Asia Pacific are very enthusiastic.
After all, there is the golden signboard of Su Chen. Moreover, there is the fan base of the popular comics and animations of "Boonie Bears".
Netizens in the Asia-Pacific region have very high expectations for Su Chen's animated film.
Under such circumstances, they are not too worried about the box office of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Even due to problems with animation technology, this animated film could not be a big hit at the box office.
But with the factors mentioned above, the box office of this animated film will definitely not be bad.
Therefore, the agency and release issues in the Asia-Pacific region were quickly negotiated.
However, when discussing the agency and release of Ou Mei, Su Chen and Xingyi encountered some troubles.
Because various regions in Oumei are not optimistic about the special effects technology of Su Chen's animated film.
Therefore, they are not very enthusiastic about introducing this Chinese animated film.
The message conveyed by these Ou Mei's agent distributors is that they want to get a higher share of the profits.
Regarding this situation, Su Chen's attitude was also very firm:
"Agents in all regions can only take a maximum of 10% of the commission! Not a bit more!"
Aren’t you just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to bargain?
I won’t give it to you.
Su Chen was very clear that his fan base in Ou Mei was very strong at this moment.
Moreover, Su Chen is absolutely confident in the quality of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
All in all, the box office of this animated film in the Ou Mei region will not be bad.
Therefore, Su Chen had no reason to compromise with those agents before the film was released.
Well, if it was before, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun might be worried about Su Chen's attitude.
After all, this is Su Chen's first step into Ou Mei's film industry.
The primary issue is to be able to release the film normally.
But after watching the finished product of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun suddenly had absolute confidence in the box office of Su Chen's animated film.
Yes, in their opinion, such animation technology is comparable to Hollywood animated blockbusters.
Plus the fan base of Su Chen and the "Boonie Bears" IP.
If the box office isn't good, then there's something fishy going on.
So at this time, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were also full of confidence and firmly supported Su Chen's decision.
Finally, after a tug of war, the agents in various regions of Oumei had no choice but to compromise with Su Chen.
However, when the news spread to the Internet in various regions of Oumei.
It was soon demonized by people with ulterior motives.
"Su Chen is greedy! He's asking for an exorbitant price for a crappy anime movie!"
"Do you think anyone will buy tickets for this Chinese animated film? It's such a rubbish, and Su Chen is not willing to budge on the agency price!"
"Su Chen is arrogant and loves money more than anything else!"
"Su Chen used an animated film to enter the Ou Mei market, which fully demonstrated his contempt for Ou Mei netizens! He is insulting your IQ! He thinks that you are all his brainless fans like the Chinese netizens!"
"Brothers and sisters, it's time to announce to Su Chen that you are the masters of the market!"
“…”
Kugler looked at this information and felt secretly delighted.
You see, this is the disadvantage of Su Chen's choice of simultaneous global release.
Negative reviews in certain regions will directly affect the overall situation and thus affect the overall box office of the film.
Even though "Black Panther 1" achieved impressive box office worldwide, the producers did not dare to release it simultaneously around the world like Su Chen did!
The results also proved that this was the most correct choice.
In just one week since its release, "Black Panther 2" has already earned 200 million US dollars in the United States.
This is already a very ideal result for a Hollywood movie.
With a good reputation in the US market, expanding the scope of release can produce a good radiation effect and reap even more gratifying box office results.
Su Chen, you are so good that you actually risked the world's condemnation and released your first movie in Ou Mei simultaneously around the world.
Moreover, this is an animated film whose technology is decades behind Hollywood!
If you play like this, it would be strange if you don’t die.
When Black Panther 2 is released during the Chinese Spring Festival, there should be one less strong competitor.
Yes, at this time, Kugler has lowered the threat of Su Chen's animated film to a higher level.
"During the Chinese New Year, it all depends on how well Chenglong's "Detective Pu Songling" and Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy" perform!"
Coogler feels that under the current circumstances, these two films are the main threats to his "Black Panther 2".
In the following days.
It's a publicity war between movies.
In this regard, Su Chen's "Boonie Bears: Return to Earth" will not lose to anyone.
Due to Su Chen's extremely high popularity and attention, Xingyi Media does not need to invest much in publicity and promotion to achieve a sensational effect on the entire network.
After all, everyone on the Internet is following Su Chen, and any movement of Su Chen will become a hot topic on the Internet.
Therefore, Xingyi Media does not need to spend too much effort in promoting the movie.
at the same time.
The promotions of "Detective Pu Songling", "The New King of Comedy" and "Black Panther 2" also attracted a lot of attention.
After all, the first two films had two big names in the cast, Cheng Long and Stephen Chow, while the latter film had the fan base that made it a big box office success in the first step.
So at this point, in terms of promotion, these four films can be said to be on par with each other.
Time flies.
Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
That night, Su Chen chose to have dinner with Lu Lanlan.
There's no way. I'm an orphan and a single guy. Apart from the assistant around me, it seems that I have no close friends.
"I'm sorry that I haven't been able to let you go home for the New Year in the past two years."
Thinking of this, Su Chen apologized to Lu Lanlan.
He has no home in this time and space, and it has become a habit for him to celebrate the New Year alone.
But Lu Lanlan is a family person, and because of work, Lu Lanlan has been with him during the Spring Festival in the past two years.
This made Su Chen feel a little guilty.
Only those who have no home can appreciate the preciousness of family.
"It's okay! Brother Chen, don't you usually give me a day off?"
Lu Lanlan disagreed with this.
On normal days, such as during summer vacation or when work is not so busy, Su Chen will still give her a day off.
Moreover, due to Su Chen's indifferent personality, in fact, Su Chen's affairs are not many.
Therefore, her job as an assistant is quite easy.
Lu Lanlan felt a little embarrassed that she was getting such a high salary without having to do anything.
"Brother Chen, how much box office do you think Boonie Bears: Back to Earth can generate?"
So, Lu Lanlan immediately took the initiative to change the subject.
"this……"
Su Chen pinched his chin.
“It’s not very predictable.”
After all, this is the first time that such a science fiction animated film has been released in the country.
Su Chen was not sure how much box office revenue he could generate.
Lu Lanlan smiled:
"I'm not sure, actually."
“But I think it’s definitely much better than the average movie box office.”
After all, Lu Lanlan has seen the finished product of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" and knows how excellent this animated film led by Su Chen is.
It's a good box office, that's for sure.
The thing is, if it were someone else's movie, "decent box office" would be enough.
But when it comes to Brother Chen, this standard is a bit inappropriate.
