In addition, independent films are increasingly favored by the Academy Awards.According to statistics, an Oscar-nominated work can bring in an additional box office of about 3000 million U.S. dollars. If it finally wins the Oscar, the income will increase by about 2000 million U.S. dollars, which shows that the benefits are not small.
From this point of view, independent film studios are rising and occupying an important seat in the new situation of Hollywood.
In this case, Zhao Fusheng chose to cooperate with Disney because he actually had his own considerations.
In recent years, or starting this year, the mainstream independent film studios in Hollywood will become strong competitors of the six major production companies, including Lionsgate Films, Relativity Media, and Legendary Films. It will become a company that attracts Huaxia Capital.
In the future, film and television can completely cooperate with these companies.
But Marvel is different.
Relying on the superhero's copyright and peripherals to create a huge IP of the Marvel universe, in this case, it is impossible for Zhao Fusheng to pin his hopes on the independent film production company.
His goal can only be the six major studios.
Among these companies, Disney is undoubtedly the most ambitious.
"Well, what's your plan next?"
Zhao Fusheng looked at Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr.
This is when they need to express their attitude.
The two looked at each other, Scarlett Johansson smiled slightly, and said first, "Zhao, I believe in you, no matter what you want me to do, I can do it."
What a mouthful of dog food!
In Robert Downey Jr.'s heart, [-] muddy horses galloped past.
He had long heard that the relationship between Scarlett Johansson and Zhao Fusheng was not simple, but now, as expected, she started feeding dog food in front of her.
Zhao Fusheng smiled and looked at Robert Downey: "Robert, what about you?"
"My dear sir, it is all because of your help that I can achieve such results now, so I am willing to stand by your side."
Robert Downey Jr. said seriously without any hesitation.
He is not a fool, even Marvel's management and Disney have been convinced, what else can he say?
"That's good. I believe that we will work together to create miracles."
Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.
But he thought so in his heart.
Zhao Fusheng hopes that one day, he can control the storms and thunders in Hollywood. Only then can he truly achieve success.

After dinner, the group drove towards Hollywood.
Los Angeles is a city that never sleeps, the more night, the more various entertainment items.
What's more, Zhao Fusheng also wanted to see what Hollywood looks like under the night.
To be honest, Hollywood has developed to this day in more than a hundred years, and the history of the changes of major studios can be regarded as a wonderful plot.
Judging from the structure of Hollywood, it has been experiencing reincarnation between the so-called "Big Six", "Big Five" and even the earliest "Big Eight". This kind of change is not the first time.
The earliest golden age of Hollywood had the "Big Five": MGM, [-]th Century Fox, RKO, Warner Bros., and Paramount; later, with the rise of Columbia, Disney and Universal, the "Big Five" began to become the "Big Eight" .
Later, RKO Films withdrew from the film industry in the 50s and turned to wireless and cable television. In the 80s, United Artists merged into MGM and was renamed MGM-United Artists.
Until Wu Baige's "Windtalker" in [-] brought MGM to a slump, Sony took the opportunity to annex MGM and established a seemingly stable six major pattern.
Of course, it won't be long before Hollywood returns to the "Big Five" with Disney's acquisition of [-]th Century Fox.
The reason why these companies control Hollywood is because the film distribution companies under their names account for more than [-]% of the box office revenue in the North American market.
The distribution companies or distribution networks they control have their own subdivided brands. For example, there are distributions that focus on art films, such as Fox Searchlight Films under Fox Film Corporation, or distribution of genre films, such as Sony Pictures Entertainment. Bao Film Company.
Due to the market segmentation of giant companies, some companies that originally focused on the distribution of such films began to report that they were forced to dissolve or be acquired this year.
Even the top stars and top directors, unless they reach the level of George Lucas or Spielberg, they can only bow down to the six major film companies.
Artists, in the final analysis, are commodities.
This is true everywhere.
"Zhao, do you like movies very much?"
Sitting in Zhao Fusheng's car, Scarlett Johansson asked curiously.
Zhao Fusheng did not take a car with her alone, but asked Liu Yiming to send someone to find an extended Lincoln, and he rode with Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.
"like?"
Zhao Fusheng smiled when he heard the words, and gently shook the red wine glass in his hand, the red wine was rippling in the glass, making waves.
After a long time, Zhao Fusheng said: "It's not like I like it very much. For me, movies are a kind of business. I may like to watch a certain movie, but I know better what this movie can bring me. .”
Scarlett Johansson remained silent, she did not expect Zhao Fusheng to answer like this.
Originally, she thought that Zhao Fusheng might fabricate an answer for herself.
But obviously, Zhao Fusheng is not that kind of person.
"Sir, I heard that you have a film and television company in Huaxia?"
Robert Downey Jr. was slightly embarrassed seeing the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "There is a chance, can you give me a chance?"
"No."
Zhao Fusheng shook his head directly: "You are too expensive, haha."
"expensive?"
Robert Downey looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise, obviously he didn't understand Zhao Fusheng's words.
Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "You don't know, in our country today, a movie with an investment of more than 2000 million US dollars is considered a big production."
$2000 million?
Scarlett and Johnson were all stunned. They really didn't expect that the film production cost in China was so low.
Yes.
