Chapter 381

In 2012, the top 10 and top 20 films were selected by the media.

Shao Shuaijun, who was still shooting Iron Man 3 in North Carolina, read these magazines and newspapers when he was idle and bored. Hollywood entertainment report, which has become more and more influential in the film industry in recent years, has released a list called "top 10 geek movies of 2012".

Geek movie, in English, is geek movie. No one can accurately define the meaning of geek. Originally, it was used as a derogatory term to describe a fool or a strange guy. Now it has been used specifically to refer to a guy who is very obsessed with technology or a certain subculture. Its scope has gone far beyond the traditional definition of gamers, anime fans, computer enthusiasts and otaku.

The Avengers League, with its comic fans, special effects created by computer CG, and humorous storyline, was ranked second in the top ten geek movies.

Empire, an old magazine, won the top 20 best picture of the year, and Avengers topped the list, beating Batman: the rise of the dark knight, a comic film, and escape from Tehran, an Oscar hit. The reason given by Empire is simple.

"The women's Federation has everything a summer film should have, good-looking scenes, passable plots, and hot box office. Director Shao Shuaijun didn't use the pretense of profound narrative, and didn't make a mess of it. Instead, he well coordinated the parts of the six superheroes, took full care of the audience, and created a blockbuster of Xianyi for the old and the young. It's worthy of all filmmakers to learn from the top five of the top 20 movies, namely "Avengers alliance", "escape from Tehran", "Batman: Dark Knight" The rise, 007: breaking the curtain of heaven and the beast of the south. "The adventures of youth" came in at No. 11, while another R-rated comedy, "magic Mike," came in at No. 17.

In addition, in time, entertainment weekly, rolling stone and other magazines, the Avengers League, though not at the top, is ranked in the top position.

The year 2012 is coming to an end.

Pinnacle entertainment released a report to the outside world. This year, Pinnacle entertainment won more than 9 billion US dollars at the global box office, setting an incredible world record. Among them, the box office in North America exceeded 3.1 billion US dollars, which is an incredible record in North America. "Avengers alliance", "007: breaking the curtain of heaven crisis", "hobbit: unexpected journey", "hunger Game 3: Mockingbird (Part 1)", "extraordinary Spider Man", "Madagascar 3: European wanted man", "scarlet dawn" and so on are all box office bombs.

Among the top ten box office movies in the world, only two are not released by Pinnacle entertainment, one is the rise of black riding, one is ice age 4, and the rest are all released and produced by Pinnacle entertainment.

This year, Hollywood's box office in North America is 11.9 billion US dollars, and its overseas box office is 15.9 billion US dollars, which means that peak entertainment occupies half of Hollywood! A little more. It's estimated that the US antitrust organization will have to have tea with the bosses of pinnacle entertainment.

In 2012, the global total box office was 37.8 billion US dollars, and pinnacle entertainment accounted for 25% of the global box office!

"The emergence of Hollywood rulers, from independent companies to big studios, peak entertainment, like Shao Shuaijun, is an incredible synonym!"

"In 2012, Pinnacle entertainment reached the top of the box office, the world-class big Mac was born, and the film departments sold well. This is the best performing film company in the 20th century."

For the great cause of peak entertainment, world attention, all kinds of envy. Last year, there was a Disney, relying on its strong peripheral development ability, which can be compared with Pinnacle entertainment. No one can stop peak entertainment this year. Jiahe entertainment develops hardware and peak entertainment develops software. The combination of hardware and software is invincible.

No one doubts that Pinnacle entertainment is just a flash in the pan. With the scale of pinnacle entertainment now and the planned future film production, Pinnacle entertainment has countless gold mines waiting to be mined. No one will see Pinnacle Entertainment's status wavering in the next decade.

"The era of peak entertainment has come!" ——Time magazine.

This year's Jiahe entertainment has also set off a gust of wind in the mainland. "Lost in Thailand" has broken through 1.3 billion yuan, becoming the new box office king of Chinese movies and the new king of film history in the mainland. At present, there are only two movies with more than one billion yuan in the mainland, one is "Avatar" and the other is "Transformers 3", both Hollywood blockbusters, which are finally sold by China The film regained the honor.

At the time of Thailand's big sale, there was another news item that made headlines.

Wanda Group acquired AMC, the second largest theater company in North America. AMC cinema is an American multi hall cinema company founded in Atlanta in 1992, with 346 theaters and 5028 screens in total. Among them, there are 120 IMAX screens and 2170 3D screens, making it the largest IMAX and 3D screen operator in North America.

AMC's cinemas are concentrated in the center of large cities in North America, with 23 of the top 50 cinemas with the largest box office in North America, accounting for 20% of the market share in North America. The negotiation lasted more than two years. Because AMC is an unlisted company (once listed and later privatized by the bank), it is unable to acquire equity directly, and the transactions involved are more complicated.Originally, the company that wanted to acquire AMC cinema was dream International Holding Group, but the US government recognized dream International Holding Group, which owns Pinnacle entertainment group, and its business scope includes film companies. The U.S. government stipulates that film companies can not directly control the cinema companies.

To this end, dream can only give up the acquisition plan, and then let Wanda Group, which holds shares in each other, come forward and re mention the acquisition plan.

In recent years, affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the profitability of North American Theaters is very poor, and the debt of AMC theaters is very high. Also interested in seeking new capital entry, turn losses into profits, this is the acquisition plan. After the acquisition, Wanda Group will plan to list AMC cinema on the New York Stock Exchange.

At the same time, holding Wanda cinema and AMC cinema, Wanda Group will become the world's largest cinema company and the largest IMAX screen and 3D screen operator, with almost half of the global share. The expected profit will exceed the real estate income of Wanda Group.

With Wanda Group as a natural ally of mutual holding shares, AMC cinema is controlled by dream International Holding Group.

The real super first-class giant entertainment enterprise has taken shape.

The media of China and the United States have paid wide attention to this.

American media believe that Chinese films will take advantage of this trend and flood into the American market. They are more worried that Pinnacle entertainment, which has related interests, will grasp more cinema resources and form a monopoly. Chinese media hope that AMC cinema line can play a role in promoting Chinese films, but also worry that Wanda Group will not adapt to the situation and fall into the mire of AMC loss.

However, Wanda Group and dream group have full confidence in the acquisition plan. Wanda boss Wang attended the press conference and announced that the original AMC operation team will continue to manage the AMC cinema line. At the same time, he said: "we are optimistic about the development of the film industry. AMC cinema line will become a major boost to the transformation of Wanda Group. We have never worried that AMC will not turn losses into profits. What we need to consider is how to form sustainable development in the future."

Asked by reporters whether they would help Chinese films enter the American market, boss Wang said: "in principle, we naturally hope that more Chinese films can be appreciated by American audiences. But to be a cinema is not to be a charity. The principle of market is always the first. It can not be recognized by the American audience. AMC will not promote such Chinese films. All we can say is to ensure a fair economic environment for Chinese films. "

Another reporter asked if Pinnacle entertainment would monopolize the film screening in North America by virtue of its relationship with Wanda Group. Boss Wang said: "I don't know Mitchell Bruce. If you ask us if we will join hands, we and pinnacle entertainment are two non-interference companies. AMC has not been able to monopolize the screening and will not monopolize it. This is not in AMC's interest. Please rest assured. "

Having said that, worry is inevitable.

But that's already the case and there's no change. Behind the American cinema companies, there are basically big production companies. But big production companies always reach out to the upstream and downstream industries. If Pinnacle entertainment wants to be a big studio, it must also step in the upstream and downstream of the industry to reduce its own constraints.

It's a hidden rule.

I don't know.

……

On the second day after new year's day, the cast of Iron Man 3 broke out a huge cheering, which lasted for six months intermittently. Finally, Iron Man 3 was finished. It took a week to edit the original copy of the film and give it to Pinnacle entertainment. The three members of Shao Shuaijun's family flew back to the mainland.

In the twinkling of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching, Shao Shuaijun suddenly found that it has been several years, did not have the peace of mind of the new year, saw his son are three years old. Since 2010, he has been making almost one film a year. He didn't work very hard to make films, but he supervised too many projects, which took up most of his time.

There is hardly a day when you can completely relax.

After visiting some leaders and friends in Beijing, the family of three rushed back to their hometown.

Flying all over the world, I can hardly remember what my hometown looks like. In recent years, there have been great changes in his hometown, mainly because Shao Shuaijun is rich and has invested a lot in public welfare undertakings in his hometown. He has built roads, bridges and factories, making the whole town full of life. Even if it doesn't cost much, it can benefit the countryside.

Moreover, many people I know from my hometown have entered the dream pursuit company, and many rich people have come out of my hometown.

Big director, rich man, international level figures, and bring benefits to everyone, Shao Shuaijun is becoming a mythical figure in the town, the object of worship of thousands of girls.

Therefore, this year is very busy, the door of my hometown is almost broken.

It's a hot spring festival.
