The fierce battle at the end of the North American summer file is in full swing, and several movies are seizing the tail of this summer file to strive for a little more box office.

And the country is not very peaceful, several blockbusters are competing for me, and the newly released movies such as "A Stormy Affair", "One Night Surprise", and "Made-2" are fishing in troubled waters.

"Wolf Warrior" is still the most popular movie at present, taking over the banner of "Interstellar" and leading the second half of the summer file.

Last week, "Wolf Warrior" got a super high box office of 256 million, beating the 206 million of "Pacific Rim" and won the weekly championship, with a total of 425 million in 11 days.

mobilized the emotions of the audience, and the box office was steadily rising, which also formed a big topic in the entertainment industry.

However, since two days ago, netizens on the Internet have continued to reveal that the movie tickets they bought were handwritten, or they were tickets for other movies such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

There is even a one-yuan movie ticket, and the ticket clearly says that the ticket price is one yuan, but the audience spent dozens of dollars to buy it on the spot.

This situation can happen all the time, after all, stealing the box office is not a matter of one or two days, it is a basic operation for movie theaters.

If you don't steal the box office, how can the movie theater continue?

No one paid attention to it, and even ""Wolf Warrior" was stolen from the box office" on the hot search, and the most the theater chain could do was to make an announcement on Weibo.

After two or three days, netizens continued to post various handwritten tickets and one-yuan tickets, and Hantang Media posted a long Weibo to angrily denounce this illegal behavior of stealing the box office.

At the same time, Wu Jing, who is on a roadshow all over the country, also called on the audience to take a look at the tickets in their hands when buying tickets, and once they find handwritten tickets or tickets for other movies, they should be replaced with movie theaters.

There were some signs of a big trouble, and Dadi Cinema had to issue a Weibo to shout grievances.

Dadi Cinema Line claimed that after investigation, it was found that most of the handwritten tickets were because the audience wanted to watch other movies after buying the movie tickets for "Wolf Warrior", so the ticket seller manually changed them for the audience without permission, and there were also ticket machine failures, or the theater temporarily changed the movies shown in the two halls, and the ticket was not changed.

As for the one-yuan ticket, Dadi Cinema responded that the printer was wrong, and also traced the location and tracking of the seat number of the 2 movie tickets posted by netizens, and the result was that due to the wrong printing template of the VISTA ticketing system, the system failure was caused, resulting in "1 yuan" on the ticket paper, and the actual sales data of the VISTA ticketing system and the box office data reported to the national optoelectronic monopoly platform were all 40 yuan.

There was even a lot of messy data and pictures, but netizens couldn't understand it at all.

In the past, it was time for things to end like this, no matter how fierce the trouble was, the theater chain responded.

Even before, because Nuomi movies can update box office information every half hour, there have been several times when the box office in the second half hour is lower than the box office in the first half hour, and the theater chain also claims that Nuomi movies belong to third-party statistical agencies, and there are errors in the data.

Anyway, no matter what you say, people have excuses.

......

Dadi Cinema Line, general manager Fang Bing looked online as usual, and he could still see Hantang Media's condemnation of the theater line stealing the box office, and many people echoed it.

In the past, these things were handled by the public relations department, and it is not surprising that they were common.

It's just that nearly eighty percent of the movie theaters that broke out this time are movie theaters under Dadi, so he smells a hint of uneasiness, so he will pay attention to it every day.

It was another calm day, and Fang Bing was about to turn off Weibo, but he casually flipped to another Weibo that had just been posted, which was a video.

The title is Dadi Cinema stealing the box office, the real hammer, and Fang Bing will click on it to take a look.

The filming location of the video is obviously in the cinema, it seems that it should have been taken by a mobile phone, a little shaky, and the camera is also specially aimed at the words "Dadi Cinema" on the wall, pausing for a second or two.

Fang Bing had a bad premonition in his heart and continued to look down.

A young man with a code bought a ticket at the ticket office, and the conductor handed him a ticket, but the young man said that he bought a ticket for "Wolf Warrior", why did he give a ticket for "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

"This ticket is the same, it's all in 3D, and the price is the same. The conductor didn't even look at the ticket, nor did he have any surprised expression, and he answered calmly.

When he wanted to exchange the ticket, the conductor said that the ticket had already been issued and could not be exchanged, so he could only buy another one.

The young man insisted on changing, and the conductor made two strokes with a pen on it with some impatience, and wrote a few words with a brush

walked to the side of the chair and sat down, the person with the mobile phone next to him pointed the camera at the movie ticket, on which were clearly printed a few big characters "Tomb Robbery Notes", but the time and title were crossed, and other screening times were written, and there was also the word "war".

That's the end of the video.

Fang Bing frowned, it was rare to take pictures so blatantly.

However, when people hold up this mobile phone in their hands, no one will notice that it is taking pictures.

"That's a bit of a problem!"

Looking at the large number of comments and retweets on Weibo during that time, Fang Bing realized that things were not so simple.

I immediately called the general manager of the theater management company in the area where the theater was located.

"Find this theater immediately and come forward to clarify!" Fang Bing ordered with a serious face.

In the past few years, everyone and the store have Weibo, and soon the Weibo of the cinema also issued a clarification, the reason is still the system failure, the wrong ticket, the service attitude of the ticket seller has been severely criticized, and said that similar failures will be replaced for the audience in the future, and all losses will be borne by the cinema.

However, a few hours later, Hantang Media issued an article again, calling on all viewers to jointly supervise and post a search warrant specifically for stealing the box office.

A large number of netizens began to post their movie tickets, and all kinds of tickets were available, and for a while it seemed that everyone's tickets were fake.

In the general manager's office of Dadi Cinema Line, Fang Bing immediately asked people to start public relations, but fortunately, he expected something to happen before and kept paying attention to it, which also made the public relations department ready and not unprepared.

Just when he was relieved to tell the characters to go down, a video that broke out again immediately made him unable to sit still.

In the video, a large pile of movie tickets is piled together, and unlike ordinary movie tickets, this ticket is a blank piece of paper, with the fame of a coded movie theater written on it, and there are several rows and numbers.

It's not handwritten, it's printed and copied, and the date, row, and number are all blank after it, waiting to be written by hand.

Several stacks of handwritten tickets have been prepared, and it is already obvious.

That's not all, the video interface goes to the machine that issues tickets in the theater, and the above two systems switch back and forth, which is clear to insiders.

The video is likely to have someone bribed the theater's ticket seller, secretly filmed through the pinhole camera on his body, and later added a voice to explain what a dual system is.

But I don't know which movie theater it is, except for a machine interface, everything else is mosaic, and there is no other information, and the other party is too cautious.

Fang Bing was already in a cold sweat, although he had no expression and was the Dadi Cinema, but more than seventy percent of the box office theft incidents that broke out before were Dadi's cinemas, and this pot must be carried by the Dadi Cinema Line.

After calming down, Fang Bing immediately called to convene a meeting of the heads of various departments, and the CEOs of theater management companies in major regions also connected via video.

Although this incident will not cause any fatal blow to the Dadi Cinema Line, it is still necessary to keep a low profile for now.

Those who do this line of work know very well that it is impossible for the country to really make a move, and if it wants to make a move, it will wait for the film market to be close to saturation.

Really completely stifle these box office steals, the cinemas in the small city will shrink rapidly, and not many people will invest in a project that will only pay back in five or six years.

If you want to support the market, you have to spend money, and this money cannot be produced by the audience, the country will not be good, the theater will not be released, and it can only be produced by the producer.

Just like the ticket-buying platforms, takeaways, and taxi-hailing software that are now popular, the platforms spend their own money to support the market.

The sudden occurrence of this incident not only made Dadi Cinema a little passive, but the entire film industry was a little caught off guard.

Such a large-scale action is definitely not something that anyone can make a fuss, and if you think about who is the biggest beneficiary, it is obvious.

However, "Wolf Warrior", the hottest movie right now, is indeed the movie with the most stolen box office.

Before it was Interstellar, at least more than 100 million were stolen.

Stealing so much money from other people, there is nothing to say about retaliation.

Moreover, Hantang Media did not make things so inextricable that the two industries were inseparable, and no other producers and theaters were involved, and it was still within an acceptable range.

However, this move was enough for the relevant agencies to take action, first issued an announcement to crack down on box office evasion, reiterating the provisions of the "Draft of the Film Industry Promotion Law of the People's Republic of China for Solicitation of Comments", the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in E-commerce Ticket Sales" and the "Film Ticket Marketing and Sales Specifications" on the concealment of box office by movie theaters in the past two years.

After a few days of investigation, the Film Distribution and Projection Association will impose fines ranging from 30 to 1 million yuan on the illegal theaters, as well as 4-6 months of film suspension, and the National Film Special Fund Management Committee will also cancel the qualifications of the illegal theaters for the year of levy first and then return, various subsidies and awards.

Privately, Dadi Cinema Line was also sternly warned to strengthen the management of its franchised theaters.

For a week, as the Dadi Cinema Line was interviewed and warned, everything was calm again, as if nothing had happened.

......

In North America, Tang An, who has been watching domestic news, immediately asked the theater chain to prepare for the second financing, and stepped up to expand its market share while the Dadi Cinema itself was in trouble.

And "Interstellar" has reached a total box office of $66.3 million after its second week of screening in North America.

In terms of the single-week box office with $39.6 million, it is in second place, but North America only counts the weekend box office list, and this weekend "Crazy Asia's Richest Man" won the weekend box office with $26.5 million.

And "Interstellar" got 55 million in China, with a total box office of 1.95 billion.

Southeast Asia and Europe earned a total of $53 million, plus last weekend's $44.3 million, bringing the box office to $97.3 million in these two places alone.

And this week, the global box office of "Interstellar" is 101.1 million, achieving the global weekly box office championship!

It is impossible for Tang An to stay in North America for long, the box office and reputation are very good at the moment, and he has stabilized, so he will stay for a few more days, talk about other copyrights, and see if there are any projects that can be invested, and then he should return to China.

However, just when I was about to return to China in a few days, I was dissed.

As two recent hit movies, "Crazy Asian Rich" and "Interstellar" are not the same genre, but they are both all-Asian lineups, and they will inevitably be compared.

And the director of this film is still Chinese, and he has filmed "Special Forces 2".

Of course, he doesn't have DISS Tang An, the two directors don't know each other, there is no competition in the schedule, and he is not stupid, and he still offends people when he is full.

This "Crazy Asian Billionaire" is about the male protagonist Yang Nick from Singapore, who is a history teacher at New York University in the United States, and the heroine Rachel Zhou is a Chinese-American economist from the same school. The story begins when Nick is going back to Singapore for his best friend's wedding and decides to bring his girlfriend Rachel home to meet his parents.

In addition to the standard Mary Sue and the evil mother-in-law scenes, the wedding held by Singapore's wealthy man for $40 million in the movie also shocked the people of the United States.

Singapore's rich man showed his face, several Singaporean billionaires in the United States have been interviewed by the media many times, and an investment tycoon named Li Fulong began to show off his wealth in a low-key manner, and was asked by the host whether Singapore is the richest country in Asia, and also belittled some surrounding countries intentionally or unintentionally.

I don't know how the host pulled it, first it was about two movies, and suddenly it was about Tang An.

Tang An looked at the host on TV speechlessly, telling that Tang An had participated in and invested in several movies in the United States, including many A-level productions.

Tang An invested in two A-level big productions, but they were all incidental, using the fame of these big productions to promote his movies, and the total investment was only a few million dollars, a fraction.

As a result, there are still a lot of people who come to the door to seek investment, and for a time it has really become a sweet spot in Hollywood, and a bunch of projects that don't know the so-called dare to take it.

The big guy has a big tone, a look of disdain, everything in and out of the words is that the movie is just a small investment, the $40 million wedding in the movie is trivial, Singapore's rich are the real rich, how many of the 50 richest families in Asia are from Singapore.

In particular, the host also specially emphasized that Tang An is only 33 years old, and the big guy doesn't care anymore, as if he is pointing at the country.

Except for Biguiyuan, a rich man of this age is really not taken seriously by this billion-dollar tycoon.

Tang An turned off the TV, a little speechless, show off your wealth, show off your wealth, why pull me in.

"I remember that Singapore's rich people are quite low-key, the last time I saw Mr. Wu, he was self-made, and his net worth must be seven or eight billion US dollars, and he is not so arrogant. ”

Yang Mi next to him smiled, "Brother An, why don't you fight with him, who has more money?"

Tang An shook his head, "I ate too much, this one probably wants to find a sense of existence here in Mi Guo's father." ”

PS: Mom, I wrote a picture of constipation, and when I saw that the time was half past three, the more I stayed up late, the more stateless I was.....
