What is a CC movie?

CC version is a standard collection version, and English is a collection of standards.

The brand is committed to making excellent films from all over the world into high-quality audio-visual products. The selection of films covers various countries and styles, and the films are all from movie master's representative works, including Kurosawa, tarkovsky, Hitchcock, ingmar bergman, Ferini, Truffaut, Kubrick, samuel fuller, Carl Theodor Dreyer, David Lane, pasolini, Vittorio de Sika, Nick Kasawitz, Jacques Barker and so on. Every film is unedited to ensure its original screen ratio and keep the director's original intention. For each released DVD, we look for the best film elements all over the world, and use professional production equipment and color experts to color-process the old films, so as to achieve strict quality standards and ensure the most pristine and authentic pictures and sounds in the process of film conversion into digital video. Whenever possible, standard companies will cooperate with film directors and photographers to ensure that the version is processed according to their intentions. Some products even take two or three years to complete. Its film tidbits are even more precious, including the commentary tracks of the director and screenwriter, abridged fragments of the film, documents, handwriting, plot series boards, etc., which can make the audience fully appreciate and understand the film. Almost every film on standard DVD has won the International Film Award, and it is also a required work for film majors, which shows its influence and research value. So far, Standard Company has published more than 270 works by nearly 30 famous directors on high-quality DVDs. These works can be said to be the most meaningful film documents for contemporary filmmakers and fans. Although standard company's DVD has only been released for five years, it is very difficult to collect all its DVDs. Many of them are out of print, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to buy the original even if they bid hundreds in the second-hand market. Fortunately, version D made some DVDs for fans, but the fly in the ointment is that many of them are D5, so you can't see the precious tidbits attached to the original. So as long as it's a CC DVD with D, everyone who likes it will try to buy D9.

Standard collection, the full name of which is Criterion Collection in English, is commonly known as CC by CD lovers. Is a well-known DVD distribution company in the United States. CC Company was established in 1984. At the beginning of its establishment, it established the publishing purpose of "film historical classics and contemporary important films". From 1980 to 1990, their LD laser discs are the darling of the market. It usually publishes the works of great masters, such as Kurosawa, Bergman and Ferini, but occasionally it dabbles in the works of cult directors in the eyes of western fans, such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, terry gilliam and paul morrissey. It can be said that the target market of CC is actually very limited, which is a minority interest. But why did they succeed again (of course, this success is relative to the fact that big companies such as Warner and Fox often release millions of CDs)?

To sum up, CC's business model won. First of all, they are private companies, with no big consortia as background, but they have turned this disadvantage into an advantage. Because it doesn't belong to any big film company, CC without copyright can flexibly buy copyright from various companies, so it has flexibility in film selection, and John Woo can compete with Ferini-although outsourcing copyright is expensive. Secondly, CC specially selected some unpopular master films. As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, which has also captured the hearts of some disc lovers. Many fans on the Internet are tired of being fooled by Hollywood movies with mental retardation, focusing on educated white-collar workers and intellectuals, and are loyal fans of CC. Thirdly, CC has carefully digitally restored these ancient classic films, collected a lot of precious materials, and hired the most famous film critics to make commentary tracks together. They also set a precedent for numbering the released DVDs, starting with the number 1, almost exceeding 300.

Based on this, CC has become more and more important in the minds of disc players, and they have even become the targets of big companies such as Warner. CC has a long-term goal this year. For example, they will be divided into a brand specializing in cult movies, and are negotiating the copyright of fassbinder's 900-minute Berlin lexanderplatz. Locally, the market density of DVD produced by CC Company this quarter is the highest in history. The following is a small summary of CC DVD in the disc market this quarter.
