Dad, we have taken too much attention over there, right?Isn't it enough for Wendy to go there? What's going on with me?
James Murdoch, known as Murdoch Jr., is very unaware of this. Although he became the chairman of Sky Broadcasting Company as early as May 2007 and was responsible for News Corporation's European and Asian businesses, he did not cooperate much with the film and television industry in the Chinese entertainment industry, and he had no connection with the people there.
who is he?
He is the future heir of News Group and the eldest son of media tycoon Murdoch. He is destined to inherit a $20 billion property and control a $100 billion company. Is it a small Chinese entertainment industry that makes the second-in-command of a group like him despise?
Murdoch was very angry at his eldest son's idea. He still couldn't understand such an obvious situation?
He is really a tiger father and a dog son.
Europe is the present of their Murdoch family and News Group, and Asia is the future. Otherwise, why should he be the successor, be responsible for Europe and Asia? The most development potential in Asia is the mainland Chinese market.
However, the mainland market in China is very special. Private TV stations are not allowed to exist, and overseas capital is not allowed to enter the field of theater distribution, and they will not let them control those truly substantial paper media.
Therefore, News Group has never been able to do anything about how to guide the mainland market and has not successfully entered the mainland market. It can only try to invest and make preliminary arrangements in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and other places.
Now the opportunity has come. This idiot is actually playing with arrogance. To put it bluntly, if I don’t build this country for you and leave you with such a huge media empire, you are so stupid that you can be competent for the president of a region at most. It would be great if you could manage Australia or the UK well.
However, Murdoch also knew that he could not attack his eldest son too much. Now there were not many options available to him. He handed over the family business to a professional agent to take care of. This is something Murdoch could not accept. Just be mediocre. Just take over the team. He could teach him for a few more years.
Murdoch did not answer this question positively, but simply asked a very simple question to his eldest son Murdoch Jr. and said: Do you know how much box office in "The Twelve Zodiacs" is now?There are new data reports sent on the table, which separates the top five markets in the world, and North America and Europe each account for the same market.
Murdoch nodded, and then said based on the newly obtained information he had: The highest box office in China is currently in the Greater China region, with a total of US$73 million (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in 11 days of release, followed by the European market, with a total of US$61 million, the North American market was 53 million, Japan was 28 million, and South Korea was 13 million... I understand.
At the beginning, Murdoch Jr. was like many people in Hollywood, and she didn't look down on the Chinese market. Even if both Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are included, the market capacity is small, and it is not as good as Japan, which is separated by a sea.
If I remember correctly, I had released a movie called "Wushuang" with a good box office, but that's it. But now after checking the score, Murdoch was surprised to find that the box office potential of the Chinese market is not bad at all. The most important thing is that the global box office of this Chinese-language movie is a bit scary.
It's Ah, and in less than two weeks since it was released, the world has already achieved a box office of US$24.3 billion. Based on a normal month of release, the final box office of this movie should be around US$3.5 billion, and there is even a chance to reach 400 million, which is possible to enter the annual global box office TP10.
Once may be luck or coincidence. It is not a coincidence that success is better and better. What's more, the box office ceiling in mainland China has improved very quickly, so it is probably seriously underestimated by all of us.
This time, countless people suffered heavy losses in the subprime mortgage crisis, but there are also some big winners in life of trendsetters. Wu Mingxuan is one of them. His current net worth is about 10 billion US dollars. No matter from any aspect, he is a good partner. Otherwise, why did I marry Wendy?
Murdoch, who had already realized something, not only decided to attend in person, but also planned to bring a few big stars from Hollywood to support Wu Mingxuan's charity party. By the way, he represented the Murdoch family and Fox to deepen the friendship between the two sides.
However, what many people don’t know is that Wu Mingxuan is not very satisfied with the box office. Although the movie was nearly three and a half years ahead of schedule, the production level is far beyond the original version. As a result, the mainland is not as good as the future generations. The future generations have 8.5 billion yuan, and it would be good to have 700 million yuan now.
Europe and America seem to be very powerful, but in Europe, it is because of the big box office of Russia. This movie is very popular in Russia. If it weren't for the 12-year-old rouble drop in the ruble, Russia would have probably accounted for a higher proportion of the overseas box office of this movie.
The ruble has not plummeted now. It is the time when Russia has the strongest economic strength. Otherwise, it would not have been targeted by the United States. After recovering from this year and next two years, it will attack the Russians as soon as possible.
It was released on the golden period of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and its reputation was very popular. The publicity was also said to be unprecedented, but the result was still unsatisfactory. It could not exceed the global box office of 500 million US dollars. It was only 400 million US dollars at the highest, and it was even just over 3.5 billion US dollars at most. After all, this type of popcorn movie is notorious for lack of potential.
OK, this box office is already very satisfactory. My most successful "Rush Hour 2" was only $34.4 billion, and this movie is at least $3.5 billion. What else can I not be satisfied with?
Although the actual investment after the promotion and promotion of "The Twelve Zodiacs" is higher than the $70 million in "Peak Time 2", one was filmed in 2008 and the other was filmed at the end of 2000. After inflation, regardless of actual investment or final box office, "The Twelve Zodiacs" are not as good as "Peak Time 2". If it is exchanged for $500 million, it is a relatively reasonable data.
It seems that the development of the mainland market is still a long way to go and we need to continue to work hard. However, this time it is still okay. It should be able to break the highest record to RMB 800 million, which depends on whether there is a chance to break the 1 billion barrier this summer.
