Chapter 1795 (1/2)

”Flying Tigers” is a film that has been unanimously approved by everyone when it was reviewed internally.

Li Mu also felt that the complete version of the film finally presented exceeded his expectation of the film.

It has to be admitted that Spielberg's ability to make films is indeed very strong. Rhythm, lens, color, picture and even lines are all handled impeccably.

After watching the film, Li Mu immediately decided to submit the film to radio and television for examination through the image of Makino.

At the same time, he invited more people to participate in the internal film viewing of Muye technology.

Including some of his classmates in the National People's Congress and Zhao Ziqiu, who is still at school.

Almost 100% of the tearful effect of this movie is that both men and women can't help moving their tears in the process of watching the movie.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the national pride of Chinese people.

It's the first time to see a super first-class blockbuster that reflects the Anti Japanese War of our people, is so well made and has such a huge lineup. We have a strong sense of national pride.

The film got unanimous praise in the internal viewing, and Li Mu started to make Spielberg start the preparation for the global release.

As usual, if domestic films want to be released globally, they usually need to license overseas copyright to overseas distribution companies.

Hollywood's Harvey Weinstein, for example, often buys local film rights in Asia and distributes them in North America and other markets.

The basic reason for their distribution is that there are no distribution channels and resources overseas for domestic film and television companies. It's like Zhang San has developed a kind of chili sauce in China. It's hard for him to lay the domestic channels. The team is all local and has not been exposed to the overseas. So it's almost impossible for them to sell chili sauce to all parts of the world by themselves.

So they have to sacrifice part of their profits and sell their products overseas to local companies or companies with transnational resources.

We buy some imported food in China. As long as we enter the customs through regular channels, we all require that there are companies responsible for import and export in China. If it is a large company like Nestle, it may be Nestle Huaxia company, which imports from Nestle's overseas companies to China, and then sells it in China. But if it is a small company, it is generally authorized to a certain first tier city in China The trading company is responsible.

The import and export of films is similar to that of commodities.

If you want to sell in the overseas market, you must have a local sales channel and place. Most Chinese film and television companies do not have any cinema resources overseas, so you must cooperate with the local distributors.

Li Mu doesn't have any overseas cinemas himself, but fortunately, he has a mature online ticketing system, which has become an indispensable sales channel for overseas cinemas, so it will be much more profitable to talk with them about distribution and release at this time.

What's more, Spielberg, the big man of the film and television industry, has a lot of resources in his hand. To help himself integrate, he basically covers most of the developed countries.

Spielberg has made his own release plan before he came here. His goal is to win the first release of several important countries and regions on three continents, including China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea in Asia, Britain, France, Germany and Italy in Europe, the United States and Canada in America.

In addition, all other countries are listed as two or three batches.

The main reason why different release batches should be divided is that it is difficult for the release team to connect with too many countries and regions at the same time, and there is a risk of copy leakage in some countries where the market volume is relatively small and the whole is not very controllable.

Therefore, the smaller the market, the more difficult to control the country and region, the more time to release the back row.

In the first batch of countries, Li Mu is most concerned about the local market of Japan.

In his opinion, the film must be released in Japan. However, it can be predicted that the film will encounter certain resistance when it is released in Japan.

He worried that the film, which depicts objective historical facts, would be interfered by the right wing of Japan and the big moneybags.

Many of Japan's tycoons were closely related to World War II. Some of them were arms suppliers at that time, and some of their predecessors were closely related to the government and the military in World War II.

It's also that these people have been making money and efforts behind their backs to try their best to distort history and clean up stains.

Therefore, Li Mu asked to sign an agreement with Spielberg's distribution company registered in Japan as soon as possible on the release of the film.

In order to ensure that there is enough film arrangement, Li Mu is willing to sacrifice part of the box office share and use more share subsidies to attract the owners of Japanese theatres to improve the film arrangement.

However, since a high enough share is given to the other party, the other party must bear a high enough default cost, so as to further ensure the arrangement problem.

Spielberg has no opinion on this. Japan is also a big overseas ticket property in Hollywood. They have been operating relevant resources in Japan for a long time, which can guarantee a basic arrangement for the flying tigers, first hold the foundation, and then further strive for it.”Flying Tigers” is the first big production film invested by Li Mu, which is also one of the single films with the highest investment in Hollywood.
