Analysis of Brand Marketing in the Film The Avengers from the Point of Integrated Marketing Communication Theory
Chapter One Background information and research significance
1.1 Background information
Although film just has 100 years history, it has already become the irreplaceable part of cultural industry in western developed countries. As the special kind of commodity, the film industry has enormous economic value. In recent years, with the development of economy, people have been increasing demand on cultural products. It means that box office still has a wide development space in China. By 2014, the number of cinemas in Chinese Mainland is up to 2803. There are 4225 screens going up in one year, with year-on-year growth of 9.8 percent. The total number of film screens has reached to 22420. Compared with the data of the same period in 2013, it increases by 31.88 percent. Meanwhile, the number of box office is continually growing up in Chinese mainland market. There are 388 films released in 2014 and the total box office is 29.629 billion yuan. By the end of 2014, seven films have achieved more than one-billion-yuan total box office. However, Although the Chinese Mainland market is so booming that it seems easy for a film’ s box office to be more than one hundred million yuan, many Chinese films are still at a loss. As a film investment company, a blockbuster will cost it one hundred million yuan. But after being released at the cinema, it’s unknown whether it can recover the cost. Ultimately, the reason is that the publishers of these films do not attach great importance to film marketing. 从整合营销传播理论看电影《复仇者》中的品牌营销:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_20217.html
