Chapter Seventy-Six: Journey to the West is launched

What Lu Yiming has to do now is to immediately stop Lu Chen's further plans, the movie "Journey to the West" can be broadcast in online cinemas, but this is the first and must be the last.

Lu Yiming had already predicted that the group of people in the Film Association might have sharpened their knives, and Lu Chen had moved the interests of too many people, and he would inevitably be targeted.

Nowadays, no one runs online cinemas, firstly because cinemas can maximize the profits of movies, and secondly, because no one dares to take the lead, even Lu Ying and Shimei, they dare not take the lead.

Originally, the theater chain could make about 50% of the profit lying down, and the investor would make a profit of 40% at most, Lu Chen's approach is equivalent to in addition to taxes and fees, the investor directly took away all the profits, and directly took away the profits of the theater and other parties, who would do this?

Not only that, Lu Chen, this guy actually swallowed even the five percent of the film fund.

If you just want to use a movie to increase the popularity of your video site, don't release it, don't sell it at the box office, and only give you members of the video streaming site to watch it for free, people will say two words at most, and it won't make too much noise.

But Lu Chen's idea is to move the movie theater directly online, and in the future, he will sell tickets online, which is too much, cutting off other people's financial routes, and others are likely to fight with you.

Almost all film and television companies and movie theater chains are conservatives, just Lu Chen is a radical, not against whom you are targeting.

Not only was Lu Yiming frightened by Lu Chen's operation, but even Shi Tian almost flew to Huacheng overnight to find Shiyin because of this anger.

Nowadays, Shimei and Road Shadow have the largest number of first-tier city cinema lines in the country, which is true, but this is not all, they only account for a part, and some are occupied by others, which moves the interests of Shimei, sometimes the sky is there, Shimei Group can still be a little polite, but if it moves the interests of others, others will not be polite to you.

Looking at the content on the phone, Shi Mei kept drinking tea, and Qin Qiuyue on the side kept comforting him.

Shi Tian gritted his teeth and said, "This Lu Chen, I'm afraid I still think I'm very smart!"

"Dare to engage in an online movie theater, I don't know how to die!"

Qin Qiuyue comforted: "Husband, dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, young people, it's always good to dare to challenge." ”

Hearing this, Shi Tian became even more angry.

"Qiu Yue, who are you talking for!"

Qin Qiuyue smiled and said, "No one helped, but I think this Lu Chen is very interesting." ”

"Looking back at what Chenyin Company did before, it can be seen that they are very planned, first released songs for capital accumulation, and then bought Chenguang Film and Television, and then engaged in online cinemas, if Chenguang Film and Television can be listed again, I believe they will definitely attract a lot of capital to enter. ”

Hearing this, Shi Tian was stunned, and then asked: "You mean that they just want to attract capital into it, and they don't plan to really build an online movie theater?"

Qin Qiuyue shook her head and said, "No one knows, maybe they really want to do it, but whether they can do it depends on whether they have enough high-quality content resources." ”

"Teal started with online cinemas abroad, but they eventually compromised and joined the film association, and now most of their films have to be screened in cinemas. ”

Qin Qiuyue is not particularly worried about Chenyin's blind toss, after all, there is a lesson from the past, Azure Culture was very prosperous in online cinemas abroad, and once accounted for one-third of the sales of foreign film markets, the result is that because there are too many films, too many shoddy movies have been made, resulting in a large loss of users, coupled with the suppression of traditional film and television companies, they can't get high-quality content resources at all, and soon Azure Culture can't hold on, and finally has to compromise and join the Film Association.

There is no doubt that the power of traditional film and television companies is strong, and there is no possibility of breaking through easily.

Originally, the ticket price of other people's movies was 40 yuan, but you set up an online movie theater and directly reduced the movie ticket to 20 yuan, and others don't hate you and don't mess with you, then there is a ghost.

Moreover, if it really comes to the day of reform, Shimei itself has its own broadcast website, and it will be easier than anyone else to transform.

Qin Qiuyue and Shi Tian have different attitudes, she is more in a wait-and-see state, in her opinion, whether online cinemas can be done mainly depends on whether you have enough high-quality resources, and if there are too many bad dramas, it will only ruin your reputation.

Domestic high-quality content resources and artist resources are basically monopolized, Chenyin is just a new company, and it may not be so easy for them to break through the blockade.

Shi Tian sighed and said, "Alas, forget it, wait and see, let's see what their Chenyin Company plans to do next." ”

......

As Lu Chen expected, Chenyin Company had just announced the news that they were going to build an online movie theater, and the Internet was instantly filled with all kinds of scolding.

However, to Lu Chen's surprise, as soon as Shi Mei and Lu Ying heard that they were going to build an online movie theater, they immediately lifted the blockade of Chenyin, and Sheng Ying also came and said that they were willing to reduce the box office share.

Chenyin played too big this time and touched the interests of too many people, and they had to make concessions.

However, Lu Chen did not stop because of Shi Mei and Lu Ying's concessions, they still launched "Journey to the West" as scheduled, Chenyin took tens of millions to buy advertisements, how can it be said that they will stop when they stop.

"Journey to the West" was launched at eight o'clock in the evening, in order to see the effect of testing the waters, the people of Chenguang Company stayed in the company and did not go back, Lu Chen and Shiyin did not go back, this is a gamble, the bet wins, easy money, and debt repayment.

If they lose the bet, I'm afraid they won't have a good time in the future.

However, it seems that the results are not very satisfactory.

"Journey to the West" was launched for an hour, and the number of paying people was only 300,000, although it seems like a lot, but you must know that their ticket prices have been halved, and online movies are different from cinema movies, the box office of cinema movies will be affected by the number of cinema schedules and cinema seats, cinema movies can increase with the increase in film scheduling, and the box office will also increase, but anyone in online cinemas can click in, if the number of people who pay at the beginning is not much, it is very likely to prove that the five minutes of your film preview are not attractive.

Seeing the immovable number of payers on the display screen in the hall, everyone was silent, and the hall was suddenly silent, and Lu Chen's palms gradually became sweaty.

Don't......

Failed?

It's a little unexpected, and it's a little unwilling.

Is it a problem with the movie, or is this payment model not popular with the people of this world?

Shi Yin on the side turned his head to look at Lu Chen, the number of payers had not moved for a few minutes, indicating that Lu Chen's plan was likely to fail, I don't know if this guy would feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhang Xiaozhi suddenly opened his mouth and asked loudly: "Xiao Guo, is the display screen in the hall still the same as before?"

At this time, a person's answer came from the computer not far away.

"It's still that piece, at that time, the finance said that the company had no money, and if it didn't change, it never changed. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhi immediately said to Lu Chen: "Lu Dong, there is a problem with this display screen, it is easy to get stuck, just go and look at the computer directly." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen came back to his senses, went straight to a computer not far away, and entered the background to check the data.

After coming to the computer, Lu Chen's pupils had a string of numbers that were growing rapidly.

Seeing the constantly flickering light and shadow, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth, and the stone in his heart was instantly put down, and he felt a sense of relief.

Shi Yin also walked over at this time, and after she glanced at the statistics on the computer, her whole brain paused.

The number of people who paid has already exceeded three million, and it has only been more than an hour, should it be so exaggerated?

She questioned, "Isn't there anything wrong with this data?"

Lu Chen turned his head to look at her and said, "If I didn't have this data, I would think there was a problem." ”

"We took 20 million to advertise on major Internet platforms, and now this is the time when most people are online. ”

Lu Chen's positioning at the beginning was to sell tickets, not to increase the number of users of Chenguang Film and Television, so people do not need to register an account to be able to buy tickets through payment software, which is very friendly to those who just want to watch this movie and do not want to register a Chenguang Film and Television account.

Seeing this, Lu Chen straightened up and shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "Okay, let's go back, the cost of the movie has been recovered, and I won't worry about it." ”
