Chapter 1241 (2/2)
When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he laughed and said: ”Mr. David Stern has a saying that it is true that I used to rely on 3D movies to defeat paramount. As for 2012, it is a miracle that can not be copied. It is also stained with the light of 3D special effects technology. Nowadays, the ticket price of 3D movies is 35 dollars. It is impossible to break through 20 billion yuan. Even if it is 10 billion yuan, it is not an easy thing. ”
”Mr. Xiao, it seems that you don't have enough confidence in the box office of the grand master?”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”it's not lack, but self-knowledge. This is not a pure commercial film. There are not many commercial elements in it, but it is absolutely wonderful. The fierce Kungfu duel is still the focus of the competition, involving dozens of Chinese Kungfu. Every move and every form is real. Different from the previous ”Jingwu hero”, this film is a combination of the power and beauty of Kung Fu, which is very beautiful. If you let me estimate the box office, I think it will be more than 8 billion dollars at least. ”
Eight billion dollars is a lot less than Xiao Yunhai's 2012, but the general trend of the film industry is just like this.
Since Marvel's four 3D superhero films have broken through the 10 billion mark one after another, MGM's ”Star Trek 2” has won 10 billion box office tickets. The highest number of other films is just over 8 billion.As Xiao Yunhai had expected, 3D movies fell to normal after a brief burst of popularity. In the past, it was fans who were curious about 3D films, and then they rushed into the cinema regardless of the high box office. Now, after a series of 3D movie bombings, visual fatigue has been produced, and it is impossible to see the cash scene before. Some shoddy 3D films can not even recover the cost.
Xiao Yunhai's press conference soon ended, but the impact was very big.
Especially for Paramount's new special effects technology, it was a blow to the head.
A patent fee of $30 million a year is hard for paramount to accept.
Regardless of the presence of David Stern, Franklin directly patted the table and swore at Xiao Yunhai. After a long time, it stopped.
David Stern did not feel any dissatisfaction with Franklin's behavior. Instead, he felt that he shared a common hatred for the enemy.
”Ricky, what do you think we should do next? I had hoped that our new special effects technology would sell well, which was completely destroyed by Kung Fu Xiao. ”
Franklin said with a wry smile: ”boss, Kung Fu Xiao has reduced the price to 30 million US dollars. If our price remains unchanged, I dare say that no one will be willing to spend 70 million dollars more on our patents. Kung Fu Xiao hit us on the weak side. For now, we should negotiate with him as soon as possible and reduce our patent fees. Now it is 30 million yuan a year. If it is reduced to 10 million yuan or even without charge, we may only use our own technical patents. ”
”Negotiate with Kung Fu Xiao?” David Stern frowned and said, ”it's not a good job.”
Franklin nodded and said, ”it's not a good job, but we can't do anything about it.”
David Stern took a deep breath and said, ”I was thinking that with the new special effects technology, we would no longer have to be restricted by Kung Fu Xiao. I didn't expect that his technology was not good, but he did something about the price. This young man took the initiative everywhere and was indeed a powerful figure. Ricky, are you going to negotiate with him in person
Franklin said with a wry smile, ”boss, I really don't want to talk business with Kung Fu Xiao. This man is a bastard who gets more and more. But there's no way. The situation is better than people. This matter must be settled as soon as possible. If he goes mad, we'll lose a lot. ”
David Stern patted him on the shoulder and said, ”it's hard for you.”
