Chapter 384: "Kung Fu" is here (II)
The release time of "Kung Fu" is 7 o'clock in the evening on the 22nd, which is the same as last week's "Great Sage".
As a cinema manager, Qiao Wang participated in the joint meeting of the two cinema chains, Jinrun and Jingle, not only to give advice but also to listen to the views of colleagues.
Jinrun Cinema Line has two theater models: self-operated and franchised, the former has strong control, and the latter needs to take into account the following ideas, and the film schedule must also be in accordance with the Basic Law.
Therefore, even if the rebate of the unspoken rules is not high, Jin Run still gave "Kung Fu" an 18% film scheduling rate.
This schedule is already very high!
It's just that when the first premiere ended, Qiao Wang stood at the door of the self-operated theater and looked at the audience chatting enthusiastically, and suddenly felt very unsteady.
I didn't watch the movie, I didn't look at the data, just watching the audience's excitement and discussion made him can't help but think that 18% is too little? Gan Jing doesn't seem to be an ordinary person?
Qiao Wang immediately couldn't stand up when he had this thought, he didn't wait for the specific data to come out, he immediately followed the audience into the theater and prepared to watch "Kung Fu" in real time, the job of a theater manager is sometimes a kind of gambling, buying big or buying small requires a strong psychological quality.
Now, Jin Yun is undoubtedly betting on the side of "The Great Sage".
Is this right or wrong?
Professionally calculated schedules are generally error-free, and even if they do, there is an acceptable redundancy.
At 10:50 in the evening, Qiao Wang walked out of the theater with the audience, realizing that he now seemed to be probably encountering an extraordinary situation, this "Kung Fu" ......
This is not a kung fu movie with a hard bridge and a hard horse at all!
It's not the kind of style you imagined!
It's comedy? That's right, the dense laughter in the theater proves it!
But it doesn't seem to be so happy, and the style is a bit right!
Qiao Wang is a theater manager, not a professional film critic, he feels that this is a completely different direction from the Spring Festival blockbuster "Charlotte's Troubles", but he can't say the specific difference, only in terms of the audience's response in the theater, it looks the same.
Qiao Wang's face was a little bad, and he saw that some of the audience wanted to watch the movie again, and then ...... Jin Run: At this time, all the films about "Kung Fu" are scheduled after the wee hours of the morning!
"Xiao Liu, inquire about the situation of other theaters, why do I think "Kung Fu" has a feeling that it is about to explode?" Qiao Wang instructed the deputy manager with a calm face, and then looked at the chat groups of different theater managers on his mobile phone.
There was silence in the group.
There was a bit of an unusual silence.
Qiao Wang stared at the chat group for five minutes, and a lot of thoughts flashed in his mind, the highest box office record of kung fu genre films before this was 400 million, and "The Great Sage" was already steady and bound to create a new record.
But now, will there be a brief change in the new record of genre films?
"The Great Sage" came first, and "Kung Fu" came later?
Buzzing, the phone vibrate, but what caught his eye in the chat group was a message that Qiao Wang didn't want to see the most.
"It is recommended to increase the schedule of "Kung Fu", and there is no need to wait for the next day's data to come out. I vouch for it with my personality that this film will make money. ”
Qiao Wang smashed his mouth, and the next second realized that he was still very young, and this person added a more heart-wrenching sentence.
"It's more profitable than "The Great Sage". ”
Qiao Wang had the intention to quit the group chat, but the two messages were like catfish in a sardine that stirred up the entire chat group, and the valuable information of different theaters was slowly summarized, and it was summarized in eight words: The market is open, and "Kung Fu" is coming.
Qiao Wang looked at the information in the group, looked at the disappointed eyes of the new audience, and only felt that this situation had the urge to make people chant a poem.
He resisted the turmoil in his heart and called the film scheduling manager of the North China area of Jingle Cinema Line.
"Mr. Qiao, you say, wouldn't it be a bit unauthentic to take the rebate and then tear up the agreement?"
As soon as the phone was connected, I heard the other party's kind proposal.
Qiao Wang's heart was even more agitated, and finally turned into two words.
"Hold the grass!"
......
The release of "Kung Fu" is on Friday, and the night before the normal weekend is a good time for word-of-mouth to spread.
"Why do you want to watch kung fu movies? I don't want to watch kung fu movies, let's go to watch romance movies, okay?"
"Gan Jing's movie is good, I promise. ”
"I know the quality of his movies is very good, but I don't like kung fu movies, so let's go play the electric game. ”
"Electric can be played at any time, and if the premiere is gone, it will have to be next time, so I am thinking about collecting the movie tickets for the premiere time of Ganjing, and then sending them to Beijing Blu-ray to seek an authorized cooperation. ”
"Okay......"
Being in Nanchang and not forgetting the capital, as a former North Drifter, Wu Hang not only maintained support and love for Gan Jing's works, but also considered the linkage at work.
How do small companies work with large companies?
Does the fan-oriented love add a bit of convincing?
Anyway, even if you can't get a license to cooperate, the movie is pretty good.
Wu Hang took his girlfriend into the cinema with such an idea, and then watched the movie for 100 minutes seriously.
Then, after he came out, he kept complaining.
"Why did this Zhang Zhonghui act for a while? I saw that the secret post said that he and Gan Jingbiao were playing, who wrote this secret post? The two of them haven't met at all!"
"And Lu Wei, speechless, Wulang gossip stick doesn't seem to be playing against Gan Jing, right?"
"At this end, Gan Jing is forced to return to the protagonist's role, right? You say, does it have to be 20 minutes of his fight with the Huoyun Evil God at the end?"
"Can this movie surpass "The Great Sage"? How can I see that there are only a few shows in the theater just now?"
Wu Hang's girlfriend listened to her boyfriend's chatter silently, and she listened all the way and only asked when she was about to get home at the end: "Hanghang, shall we watch it again tomorrow?"
"Good. ”
Wu Hang agreed.
When he got off the bus, he started buying tickets on his mobile phone before he had time to enter the door, and then noticed a little difference.
"The number of shows seems to have increased, I remember that when I watched it before, there were no shows tomorrow morning, but now there are two more!"
"Are you mistaken?"
Wu Hang shook his head while opening the door: "No, I remember very clearly, there are still people on the forum complaining, and the adjustment of this movie theater is too fast." ”
"If there is money to be made, who would not make it?"
Wu Hang nodded, took his mobile phone and patted the two movie tickets of himself and his girlfriend, and happily uploaded them to [above], writing out the content and feelings:
"It's a good film, it's a great one, and there's nothing that makes people complain. ”
"Although I don't want to say that, but when I came out of the cinema, I still have to say that "The Great Sage" and "Kung Fu" are really not at the same level. ”
"I can feel that Niu Kangping acted well, but judging from the whole movie, I didn't play Gan Jing at all. ”
"When I watched "The Great Sage", I thought from time to time how this film would compare with the later "Kung Fu", but when I watched the latter, I didn't have such thoughts at all, that is, watching movies. ”
"That's probably ......"
"No pee spots!"
