On the evening of 5.1, a powerful news appeared on the news.

There is a big V who has always been more well-informed to break the news that there is a big problem with the movie "Once Upon a Time"!

@章鱼饿爸:

#从前的我们大规模退票#根据院线方员工反馈, a large number of malicious refunds occurred in the movie "Once Upon a Time", and its investors took advantage of the newly introduced refund loophole of the ticket purchase gang to pay for the pre-sale box office to raise the film schedule, and then refunded a large number of tickets on the day of the premiere.

The revelation of this big V also posted screenshots of the chat conversations of many theater employees.

Beijing, Shanghai, Huashi, Yunnan and other major cities, theaters all over the country, have become victims.

Hundreds or thousands of movie tickets are withdrawn at one time, who can afford such a loss?

There are even theaters that no longer accept refunds for the "Once Upon a Time" incident!

But only if the theater does not refund the ticket, it can't be blocked at all, and the major movie ticket distributors, that is, the online ticketing software, must also close the refund system!

As soon as this news came out, the relevant big Vs in the film industry, film magazines, and self-media forwarded it one after another.

The theater side is not easy to mess with, "Once Upon a Time" is crazy about eating and scheduling films and crazy refunds, it is clear that it is going to kill people, then I'm sorry, even if the theater team works together, this film will stink!

Under the force of many parties, an hour later, the #从前的我们大规模退票#被送上了快讯热搜第一 and quickly detonated!

Ironically, the second newsletter still hangs a marketing advertisement for #Once upon a time we tear-jerking blockbuster#!

The netizens who clicked in were stunned when they saw the operation of this movie.

And some of the viewers who were pitted by this movie finally have a place to complain.

"Someone finally revealed it, I want to say, this movie is garbage! The three views are not correct, the lines are hypocritical, and they are worse than the MV of the saliva song. ”

"So how much of the 120 million pre-sales on the first day were brushed out?"

"My friend recently made a small theater by himself, and it hasn't been long since it opened, because of the commotion of "Once Upon a Time", his capital chain has been broken, and at least the next week's film schedule has been put in. ”

For example, a large cinema chain like Guanchi can slowly cut off part of the schedule of "Once Upon a Time" and give it to other movies.

But for small theaters, in order to make money, they mainly only distribute this seemingly popular movie, and wait for the box office to explode to make a profit.

As a result, "Once Upon a Time" frantically refunded, and the previously scheduled theaters were all abandoned, and there were no other movies to fill in!

Not only does the scrapyard not make money, but it also has to put money into it!

The funds are smashed in and cannot be returned, where is the money to distribute new movies in the summer file?

How can a small theater withstand such a toss?

Not to mention small theaters, even Times Pictures couldn't stand it, and held a shareholders' meeting overnight to urgently discuss countermeasures.

In the conference room of Times Pictures, looking at the shareholders of the company present, Hu Zhengxin said with a pale face: "Hundreds of thousands of tickets have been withdrawn, Chen Ying, this woman, what kind of enmity does our Times Pictures have with her, let her catch our family!"

In the face of the frenzy of ticket refunds of "Once Upon a Time", although the theater chain of Times Pictures is under pressure, it is not powerless.

They have decided to gradually cut the film schedule on the second and third days, and use the remaining films of the same period to share some of the pressure.

As long as it lasts for a month, the June schedule is coming, and when the new movie enters the market, it can be solved by completely kicking "Once Upon a Time" out.

But when it was close to zero o'clock, "Once Upon a Time" frantically bought more than 100,000 movie tickets in Times Cinemas through the ticketing gang.

Times Cinemas immediately realized that something was wrong.

But now the ticket purchase help refund function has not had time to close, and it is impossible to close the ticket buying system!

So Hu Zhengxin could only watch the other party buy tickets.

What's even more aggrieved is that Dynasty Entertainment is in a mess now, and it won't care about the life or death of Times Pictures, Hu Zhengxin's request to talk to Ke Runheng was directly refused.

So as soon as the zero o'clock passed, the nightmare of the times came.

Drip, drip!

The refund system prompt of the theater data group began to sound wildly.

The 180,000 movie tickets sold two hours ago were returned more than 150,000!

The key is that there are still 20,000 movie tickets left on average in Times Cinemas across the country, among all the cinema prime shows in the next three days.

In other words, in the next three to four days, the schedule of "Once Upon a Time" will be set up again.

The film schedule was locked for the second time, and it couldn't be cut at all!

The few movies that Times Pictures used to save the scene were directly squeezed into almost none, and the prime-time scenes were all swallowed by "Once Upon a Time".

Other theaters are cutting the film schedule of "Once Upon a Time", the times are good, and they have been adding films!

This time, it's not completely trapped!

So now not only Hu Zhengxin is in a hurry, but all the shareholders in the conference room of Times Pictures, including Jin Zibo, president of Times, are in a hurry.

Once it is not handled well, Times Cinema will be finished.

"The return on the film we shot last year was not high, and the film with a large investment at the end of last year was affected by the delay of "Giant Screen Crisis 2" and "Charlotte", and finally barely kept the capital. Now the theater chain is in such a situation again. ”

President Jin Zibo said in a depressed voice: "After careful calculation, the money I made several times in the past two years is related to Wei Xun. ”

A "Forensic Chronicle", a "Wuwen Xidong", and a 20 million buyout fee when he finally withdrew from "Chinese Partner".

Aren't these three movies all related to Wei Xun?

The key is that "Chinese Partner" itself is the fat of the times, and it was thrown away by them after it was put on their lips.

Whenever I think of this, the shareholders of the times regret it and their bowels turn blue.

Because of his withdrawal from "Chinese Partner", Hu Zhengxin has become a laughing stock in the circle, so he is the most sensitive to the word Wei Xun, and when he heard the president say this, he suddenly had a bad premonition: "Mr. Jin, what do you mean by this?"

"Meaning, tomorrow you and I will go to the medal media. The ticketing gang is dominant, we have to connect to the new ticketing system to share the online market, and if we don't act as soon as possible, will we have to wait until June, and the ticketing gang will come out with another crazy movie refund?"

Jin Zibo said: "In a short period of time, we don't dare to cooperate with Dynasty Entertainment, two months later, Wei Xun's "Wolf Warrior" is about to be released, only such a big-budget movie can be qualified to reverse the loss of the era theaters, but in the past year or so, the films of Medal Media have never refused to enter the theaters of the times, what is the reason, I think you know it in your heart." ”

Hu Zhengxin only felt his heart tremble.

He looked around and found that not only Jin Zibo, but all the shareholders were staring at him indifferently.

But when it was decided to withdraw from "Chinese Partner" at that time, it was clearly a decision voted by the shareholders, so why did he Hu Zhengxin take the blame for everything in the end!

It's not enough for him to be ridiculed by everyone in the circle for more than a year, and now he has to be pushed out by the shareholders and bow his head to Wei Xun to admit his mistakes.

Hu Zhengxin wanted to stand up and leave directly, saying that Lao Tzu would not go.

But after a one-night shareholder meeting, seeing that Times Pictures has faintly shown signs of a total collapse, is it possible to watch the company end without asking for help now?

So early the next morning, Hu Zhengxin, who was red-eyed, followed Jin Zibo, who had not slept all night, to Medal Media.

When I was on the road, some self-media pushed new news in the entertainment industry.

The Ticket Buying Gang has finally locked in the refund system.

The two presidents of Times Pictures finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then, there was another difficulty.

Before entering the medal, Jin Zibo said: "Lao Hu, you will be ...... later." Try to admit your mistakes. ”

In the medal media, Wei Xun spent the night in the lounge area of the president's office.

In the morning, Mao Bin knocked on the door and woke him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Xun, the fat sheep is here." ”
