Chapter 1241 Price War

For Xiao Yunhai, fantasy special effects technology has already made enough profit for him, not to mention 30 million US dollars, even if he does not make a penny in the future, he will not lose any money.

On the other hand, Stell Networks is different. The special effects technology that they spent so much manpower, material and financial resources on has not brought them a penny yet. If there is a price war now, Stell will undoubtedly suffer a lot.

David Steer angrily threw the cup on the ground, his face was ashen, and he cursed: "Kung Fu Xiao, you are a bastard."

Franklin next to him was not much better, his face was extremely ugly, Xiao Yunhai's approach was a typical example of harming others and not oneself.

"Mr. Xiao, don't you feel that you have suffered a heavy loss by doing this?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "If I don't cut the price, then the loss will not be heavy? I am very aware of the importance of film special effects technology. If I do nothing, my dream special effects will really be finished. The reason is very simple, No entertainment company would buy a patented technology that is 30% less efficient at the same price, but now my price has dropped by as much as 70%, I believe it will attract most film companies to continue to cooperate with me. Because The effect of our special effects technology is not as good as the variance. The only difference is that the efficiency is only 30% lower. With 70 million US dollars in exchange for this 30% speed, I believe everyone will calculate this account. very clear."

Indeed, the effect of the film is the same, and the annual saving of 70 million yuan just by releasing it later is completely acceptable for any film company.

Next, the reporters kept asking about Paramount's new special effects technology, and it took 20 minutes before they moved to his movie "The Grandmaster".

"Mr. Xiao, major media magazines and well-known online forums have been talking about your new work "The Grand Master" recently, saying that it is not suitable for screening in Europe and the United States. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "It's just a little trick by some clown jumping on the beam,

I didn't care at all. Haha, what's interesting is that I just invited hundreds of viewers who participated in "Celebrity Talk" last time, and 90% of them gave a score of 7.5 or more. I really don't know why the person who posted the post There will be more than 100,000 people. You must know that I haven't even released the trailer yet, they seem to have seen my film, and they scold me completely. To them, I just want to say that even if you take other people's money, I also hope that you will be a little more dedicated to your work. At least wait until I release the trailer before scolding, right? "

"Hahaha."

The reporters laughed again.

The audience in front of the TV thinks about it and it is true that they have not even released the trailer, so you just scold them there. This is pure nonsense.

"Then why didn't you come forward to clarify? Instead, let the netizens spread the word."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Good information is propaganda, and bad information is not just propaganda in disguise. As I said before, whether this "The Grandmaster" should be released in Europe and the United States is not up to me, but It's up to those hundreds of movie fans to have the final say. Now they have given me a clear answer, so no matter how bad they are, I will put "The Grandmaster" in the cinema and let European and American movie fans see it. A kung fu movie full of artistic features."

"Mr. Xiao, when are you going to release this movie?"

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "I haven't set the exact time yet, but it must be before the World Cup. I'm a football fan, and I don't want my work to delay my trip to London to watch football."

"Mr. Xiao, how much do you think the global box office of "The Grandmaster" can reach? Can it break through the box office miracle created by "2012"?"

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he laughed and said, "Mr. David Steer is right, I did rely on 3D movies to defeat Paramount. As for "2012", it is an unrepeatable one. The miracle of the film is also dipped in the light of 3D special effects technology. Today, the ticket price of 3D movies is 35 US dollars. It is impossible to break through 20 billion, and even 10 billion is not an easy task.”

"Mr. Xiao, it seems that you lack confidence in the box office of "The Grandmaster"?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "It's not a lack, but self-knowledge. This "The Grandmaster" is not a pure commercial film, there are not many commercial elements in it, but it is absolutely wonderful. It involves dozens of Chinese kung fu, and every move and every style is real. Unlike the previous "Heroes of Jingwu", this movie is a combination of the power and beauty of kung fu, and it plays very beautifully. If you let me estimate At the box office, I think at least $8 billion or more."

Eight billion US dollars is naturally a lot worse than Xiao Yunhai's "2012", but this is the general trend of the recent film industry.

Since the four 3D superhero movies of Marvel Comics have successively exceeded the 10 billion mark, except for MGM's "Interstellar 2" which has won 10 billion box office, the highest of other movies is only Just over eight billion.

As Xiao Yunhai had expected before, the 3D movie dropped to a normal level after a short burst of popularity. In the past, moviegoers were curious about 3D movies, so they rushed to enter the theater regardless of the high box office. Now, after a series of bombardment of 3D movies, visual fatigue has occurred, and the previous scene of making money is impossible. The shoddy 3d movies of the 3D movies don't even pay for themselves.

Xiao Yunhai's press conference ended soon, but the impact was very big.

Especially for Paramount's new special effects technology, it is simply a blow to the head.

The patent fee of 30 million US dollars a year is really unacceptable for Paramount.

Franklin ignored David Steer's presence and slapped the table directly, cursing Xiao Yunhai. After a while, it stopped.

David Stell did not feel any dissatisfaction with Franklin's behavior, but felt a little bit of the same hatred.

"Ricky, what do you think we should do next? I was expecting our new special effects technology to be a big hit, but it was completely ruined by Kung Fu Xiao."

Franklin said with a wry smile: "Boss, Kung Fu Xiao has pushed the price to 30 million US dollars. If our price remains unchanged, I dare say that no one will be willing to spend an extra 70 million US dollars to buy our patent. Kung Fu Xiao has beaten us. On the soft underbelly. The plan for now is to negotiate with him as soon as possible, and at the same time reduce our patent fee. He is now 30 million a year, if it is reduced to 10 million or even no fee, then our technology patents are probably only us. I used it myself."

"Negotiate with Kung Fu Xiao?" David Stell frowned and said, "This is not a good job."

Franklin nodded and said, "It's really not a good job, but there's nothing we can do."

David Stell took a deep breath and said, "I was thinking that we have a new type of special effect technology, so we no longer need to be restricted by Kung Fu Xiao. I didn't expect his technology to be bad, but he made a fuss about the price. This young man takes the initiative everywhere, and is indeed a powerful person. Ricky, do you want 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 person is a bastard who can't do anything. The situation is better than others. This matter must be settled as soon as possible. In case he goes crazy, We're about to lose a lot."

David Stell patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
