At the same time, the proportion of videotape revenue has also increased year by year. Year before yesterday, videotape revenue only accounted for about 25% of box office revenue, and this year it has risen to 60%.

Such data fully demonstrates that Fox Pictures has developed a new financial path. The video tape market will gradually expand in the future with the gradual popularity of video cameras. By then, this revenue will be higher, and may even exceed box office revenue.

In this way, Fox Pictures, which holds the copyright of 4,500 movies and owns Hollywood's largest film library, is undoubtedly the most profitable potential and is of course worth investing.

The second satisfactory data is the scale, viewership and revenue of Fox TV.

After years of development, Fox TV has become larger and larger in scale, higher ratings, and its revenue is becoming more and more prosperous. Two years ago, there were only 86 TV stations under Fox TV.

By the end of last year, the number of TV stations under Fox TV network had increased to 165, nearly doubled. The number of viewers it covered also increased by nearly 80% compared with the previous one.

Moreover, in terms of viewership, the popularity of the series and programs launched by Fox TV, such as "The Troubles of Growth", "Knight Island Mounted Police", "The Beach Ranger", "Orange County Boy", "Millionaire", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has made its ratings high.

Today, Fox TV's ratings even surpass the old TV networks ABC and NBC, second only to CBS. Its advertising revenue is also higher than ABC, which is only worse than NBC and CBS.

Such data can be said to be very satisfactory. Many investors believe that with the completion of Fox TV, Fox TV's spending will be significantly reduced from next year and is likely to turn losses into profits. Such a company with great potential is naturally worth looking forward to.

...

At the beginning of the year, Ye Jin also took out his new year's filming plan.

In the new year, Fox Pictures will invest in films produced by films including "The Deadly Weapons 2", "Conan the Destroyer", "Meeting the Father-in-law", "Instinct", "Gem Romance" and "Lightning Dance".

Among them, "Deadly Weapons 2" is the sequel to "Deadly Weapons", which tells the story of detective Martin and Roger discovering that a diplomat from a certain country uses Sifa's immunity as a cover to smuggle gold, kill people and bring it to justice.

"The Deadly Weapon" became very popular after its release in 1981. Its global box office was $235 million. Compared with the cost of $12 million, it can be said to be a big sale, so the sequel was naturally put on the agenda.

"Conan the Destroyer" is the sequel to "Conan the Barbarian". "Conan the Barbarian" is a movie invested by Fox Pictures in 81 years. The total investment is 20 million US dollars, and the global box office reaches 110 million US dollars, which is quite profitable.

Especially its video tape sales were extremely popular. In October 1982, its video tape was officially released. Since its release date, the movie has firmly ranked among the top in the video tape sales and rental rankings. As of the end of 1982, its video tape sales had reached 30 million US dollars, almost equivalent to its box office in North America.

For this reason, the production of "Conan the Barbarian" and "Conan the Destroyer" have also been put on the agenda. However, this movie is just a project establishment, and people need to find someone to write a script and attract sponsorship, so when it will be filmed depends on the timing.

"Meeting with Father-in-law" is a script provided by Ye Jin. It tells the story of Gray Foucault, who is engaged in the career of nurses, who accompanied his girlfriend back to her home, met her parents, and caused a series of ridiculous things.

It was originally a film launched by Universal Pictures for two thousand years, starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller. Because it is full of jokes and is suitable for all ages, it has become very popular after its launch.

The global box office earned more than 300 million US dollars. Because the box office was so successful, the movie later filmed two more sequels. Ye Jin believes that this movie is also suitable for shooting now.

"Instinct" is a drama film produced by Carrog Film Company in 1992 and starring Michael Douglas and Stone. Because of its bold theme, ambiguous story and exquisite choreography, it caused a sensation after its launch, and eventually achieved a box office of 350 million US dollars worldwide, which can be said to be quite powerful.

In "The Dragon of the Year of the Rooster" starring Stephen Chow, there are a large number of passages that parody the movie, which shows how powerful it is.

This movie also made Siron Stone, who has been wandering in the third and fourth tiers for many years, among the most sexual, beautiful and well-known actresses in Hollywood overnight.

However, Ye Jin's version of "Instinct" obviously won't use hers.

"The Romance of Gem" is a project that Fox Pictures found itself. The story is somewhat similar to "The Legend of the Lost Ark", telling the story of romance novelist Joan Wilder traveling to the depths of the jungle of Colombia to find gems in order to save his sister.

Since "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in 1979, Hollywood has set off a wave of [Treasure Hunt], and many similar movies have been released one after another, such as "The Magic Palace", "The Magic Gem", "Crystal Story", "The Mysterious Treasure", "The Treasure of the Solomon", etc., with high and low quality and uneven quality.

"The Romance of Gem" is also one of them. However, its script is quite interesting, and Ye Jin thinks it is still very selling point, so he is ready to invest in it.

"The Lightning Dance" is also a project that Fox asked for. Since the release of movies such as "Weekend Night Fanatic" and "Grease", musical and dance films have also recovered again. In the past two years, Hollywood has released many similar movies.

Although the box office is not as crazy as "Weekend Night Fanatic" and "Grease", there are also several movies with good reputation, and the genre of song and dance films continue to be popular until now.

The movie "Lightning Dance" tells the story of the heroine Yali who loves dancing, but due to the pressure of real life, she can only commit herself to work as a welder in the factory. But in her heart, the fire of faith in dancing is always extinguished. In the end, with the encouragement of her lover and friends, she mustered up the courage to participate in the dance troupe selection and eventually became a dancer.

Although the story of "The Lightning Dance" is a bit rough, this kind of inspirational song and dance movie is popular in Hollywood at this stage. So Qiao is not afraid of the old, it is the most important thing. Ye Jin believes that as long as this movie is well filmed, it should not be difficult to recoup the cost and make a small profit.

...

In addition to these movies, Fox Pictures will also produce three series, namely "Nikita", "Super Sensation Detective" and "The Lion of the Desperate".

Originally, Fox TV's series were enough. The TV series it is currently broadcasting include nine, including "Dragon Hard Boy", "Orange County Boy", "The Beach Ranger", "Kainland Ranger", "Dandao Mounted Police", "Growing Troubles", "Dinosaur Team", "Leap Beverly", and "American Strange Talk". Five of them are broadcast in the fall, and four are spring, and the schedule is enough to be filled.

However, Ye Jin is preparing to add a channel, so the original series is not enough. In addition, Ye Jin has added a cable channel, so some dramas with bold themes and innovative stories are needed.

These three series "Nikita", "Super Sensation Detective" and "The Lion of the Desperate" just happened to be used.
