Chapter 709: . What about the North American channel?

"I hope to cooperate with Huaxin in a North American version similar to the Rising Star Guidance Project. Of course, the most important thing is that I hope Wang Jun can create a script according to local conditions!" Matsumoto said, bowing.
Lin Husheng was quite moved, but this matter was mainly on Wang Yifan's side.
"Yifan, see this for yourself!" Lin Husheng looked at Wang Yifan.
The North American market and the island market are completely different. The island market, in fact, is similar to the domestic market in some ways. Most movies, especially live-action movies, basically rely on box office profits.
Unlike the North American market, the movie box office in the North American market actually only accounts for a small part of the project's total profit.
Therefore, cooperating with a North American version of the New Star Guidance Project is actually not so easy to operate.
Of course, if the talk is open and these are negotiated, it is not impossible to cooperate.
However, Wang Yifan is definitely going to eat the big head, after all, his script is the key element for the success of this cooperation.
"President Matsumoto, for this cooperation, I hope to change the way." Wang Yifan said after thinking about it.
"Wang Jun, please!" Takeo Matsumoto frowned invisibly.
Wang Yifan smiled and said: "I hope that we will invest in China and set up a production company in North America. I will provide the script for the project. Then the two parties will cooperate and invest together. The distribution will naturally be done by Matsumoto Global. What does President Matsumoto think? ?"
Lin Husheng was heartbroken when he heard this. In fact, Huaxin wanted to open up the North American market early on, but this has always been the most difficult market to conquer.
Now, Wang Yifan's words made Lin Husheng's eyes bright.
He doesn't care how much benefit Wang Yifan gets from it. What he cares about is that if this thing can happen, then it is definitely a very good news for Huaxin.
However, he was a little worried that Wang Yifan did not fail in the country, or even the island country, but in North America...Is Wang Yifan really okay?
Takeo Matsumoto frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded.
In fact, the way he most hopes for cooperation is to directly buy out Wang Yifan's script, but now it seems that people are not stupid. Although this kind of cooperation makes Matsumoto Global seem a little passive, he has no better way. . Because the initiative is not in his hands.
The point is that Wang Yifan can actually choose to cooperate with any other giants, not necessarily Matsumoto Global.
This is what makes him most helpless.
"In fact, what we hope most is to cooperate with Wang Jun to make a real big production. Unfortunately, Wang Jun is now preparing for "The Monkey King"!" Matsumoto said in a pity.
However, Wang Yifan sneered at this, and Matsumoto's words said nothing.
If Wang Yifan really wants to make a movie that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, it is estimated that Matsumoto Universal will run in the first time. Why?
To put it bluntly, whether "Midnight Ring" or "Edge of Tomorrow", although they have good performances in island countries and North America, they are not Hollywood movies after all.
If you want a big production that really sells in North America, it must be a Hollywood blockbuster, or at least a co-produced movie. No, co-produced movies are actually hardly sold, so it must be a Hollywood movie.
Obviously, Wang Yifan has not yet achieved a record.
Therefore, "The Monkey King" is actually a touchstone movie!
"I also hope that after the filming of "The Monkey King", the next one I will make a truly global production." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
This is what he really thinks. After all, North America, whether you like it or not, is still the world's number one film market.
Therefore, North America is a hurdle that cannot be circumvented in the global market.
...
"What do you think?" Lin Husheng couldn't help but ask after taking Matsumoto away.
"What do you think?" Wang Yifan was a little confused.
"The matter of cooperating with Matsumoto Global." Lin Husheng said.
"We don't have a foundation in North America, and North America is actually more exclusive than our country. Therefore, expanding the distribution channels in North America is not of much use at all." Wang Yifan said indifferently.
Why do you say that?
In a previous life, a certain richest man wanted to create a global distribution channel. What happened?
They operate independently, that is to say, you can only invest in dividends. As for how we operate, sorry, what if you are the controlling shareholder?
In the end, it was thankless.
In fact, the key lies in the fact that domestic movies generally do not adapt to the North American market. Let's put it this way, domestic movies don't even understand their own market, so they want to go overseas, which is a bit leap.
Therefore, the key is the movie itself. If domestic movies can be popular in North America, then you don’t have to have your own channels, but the company is also willing to cooperate.
This is also the reason why Wang Yifan has always been uncomfortable with Lin Husheng's efforts to expand global distribution channels.
What if you have channels?
To put it plainly, Hollywood has long been monopolized by those media giants.
It is difficult for their domestic capital to get a share of the pie, let alone foreign capital?
"But... what if we use our own movies to distribute ourselves?" Lin Husheng asked.
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Don’t think too beautifully, it’s okay, but you can’t count on me alone to write scripts for North American companies? And, do you think those media giants can watch you do it? Big?"
Wang Yifan disagrees. In his previous life, DreamWorks was good enough, right? At its peak, it was not even worse than those old Hollywood giants, but the result?
Wasn't it torn apart in the end?
And what is the reason? Is it really just because of the lack of hairstyle channels? In fact, this is just one of the reasons.
The joint encirclement and suppression of many giants is the real reason.
Because no one wants to see one more person come in to divide the cake, don't we eat it ourselves?
Therefore, Wang Yifan is not optimistic at all.
And if you cooperate with companies like Matsumoto Universal, it is different. Wang Yifan is not afraid of Matsumoto Universal's tricks, because his choice is not limited to Matsumoto Universal.
How many big productions can Hua Guo make in North America to earn box office in a year?
Most of them are sold out of copyright!
Therefore, to engage in distribution channels in North America is not to say that it is useless at all, but that the gains outweigh the losses, and the opportunities have already been missed.
Just like, in China, Hollywood is good enough, right? But in terms of distribution, they still can only listen to Huaying, letting you release it whenever it is released.
So is North America really so free and open? Stop it!
