Chapter 50: Lianwei Resists Liu (2/5)
It's a normal thing, you can lower the schedule of "Zodiac", and of course Sparkle Roll Studios can also block "Detective Chinatown"!
Moreover, Yuehua Cinema Line is obviously more damaged, and the box office revenue of Big Brother Cheng and "Zodiac" is mainly concentrated in second- and third-tier cities, which have matured first-tier box office cities, and the box office of "Tang Detective" accounts for more than 90%.
Yuehua Cinema Line focuses on the second and third tier towns...
Cutting the schedule of "Zodiac" obviously affected revenue.
However, at this stage, Yuehua has absolute control over all theater chains, and there is data monitoring, and the theater manager does not dare to disobey the sun...
……
Beijing, Dongyang Media.
In the office, Huang Zhonglei was discussing the follow-up publicity plan with a group of propaganda workers
The investors of "Zodiac" are Sparkle Roll Pictures, Dongyang Media, and Yingfang Films, and Dongyang Media accounts for the highest proportion.
"From the data, it can be seen that "Zodiac" was released for seven days, with a cumulative box office of 3.4 billion, and then "Detective Chinatown" was released, and in these four days, the box office of "Zodiac" was only 26 million, and it was very difficult for us!"
"Mr. Huang, Yuehua said over there, only two films will be scheduled!"
"Mr. Huang, the South Korean Xijie Group said that it would reconsider the issuance..."
"Mr. Huang..."
Huang Zhonglei heard the most unusual one from the pile of information, "Wait a minute!" He stared at the reporting staff, "What did you say?
“… Yes, listen to them and not be satisfied with the fifteen percent distribution fee..."
"Fifteen percent still not satisfied? This is Chenlong's movie!"
Huang Zhonglei was furious!
Now you can't even rely on a stick?
"Mr. Huang, I heard that Yuehua has signed a long-term cooperation plan with Xijie Group, will they make trouble?"
“… How do I know?"
Quite resentful, he took off his glasses, "Go, find a wave of sailors, and continue to brush the domineering things of Yuehuayuan..."
"Mr. Huang, it's useless, I just communicated with the staff of Weibo, and they said that Yuehua spends as much as 500 million yuan on Weibo every year, in addition to advertising fees and hot search costs, they can't help us..."
“… How about asking Xiaokang to write an article?"
Liu Tao, vice president of Dongyang Media, "No, Director Ma also has to count on the theater to eat... And Director Ma may not listen to me..."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's contact other theaters, it's really not possible, get a 5% refund!"
“… It's useless..."
Before Huang Zhonglei could speak, Yang Ming, who was next to him, said quietly, ""Detective Chinatown" has been notified to the major theaters since yesterday that they will return 5% of the account, a friend of the Southern Theater Line told me!"
Yang Ming is the vice president of Dongyang Cinema Line.
That's right, Dongyang Media also has a cinema line, but the number is very small, and none of the eight major box offices in the country are full...
“… This is to force us to a dead end!"
Liu Tao suddenly thought of something, "No, we can cut the film schedule of "Blood Drops"!"
Huang Zhonglei didn't think much about it, "..."Blood Drops"?"
"Leave the matter to me!"
……
At noon on the same day, the crew of "Tang Detective" had just finished the first roadshow of Nanjing Station, and was rushing to the next theater in a hurry, when Zhang Junsheng's phone rang, and it was Tang Ningyu calling.
“… Tong just spoke? He is a fart when he speaks, this is normal market competition, besides, it's not like I didn't schedule "Zodiac", no, add a morning show to it!"
“… Jackie Chan called you? Really? Did he call you?"
Tang Ningyu on the other end of the phone was speechless, ""Zodiac", he got a pure share contract, only when the box office is high, he can get his own share!"
“… Big brother also cares about money, not really!"
"Nonsense, who doesn't care about money?"
Zhang Junsheng thought about it seriously, "That's it, the second- and third-tier theaters will appropriately schedule a few films, and the first-line big ticket warehouse will be forgotten!"
“… Ye Ning's suggestion is to keep it unchanged and directly cut the schedule of "Blood Droplets" to "Zodiac"..."
"Huh?"
Zhang Junsheng suddenly laughed...
This horse riding is the legendary giant game!
Who made the distribution of blood drops Chen Kexin's 'Our Production Company'...
has no foundation, no status, the quality of the film is not good, and it deserves to be cut!
"You guys look at it, by the way, when will "Big Shanghai" be released?"
“… They postponed it until December 30th..."
"Okay, I got it!"
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng shook his head, this is a very normal market competition, Yuehua Cinema Line also wants to make money, "Zodiac" is obviously still attractive in the market, there is no need to hurt a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred!
As for "Blood Drops"...
The movie released on December 30, in addition to "Big Shanghai", there is also "Playing Time" invested by Wanda...
These two companies definitely want to schedule films, but there are only so many screens, "Detective Chinatown" and "Zodiac" obviously have an advantage, even if they cut their films, they won't cut a lot, so they can only choose "Blood Drops" to start...
So, that night, our production company was surprised to find that their film had been taken down...
There are good reasons why the market is not performing as expected, and we need to reserve a schedule for films that are more market-expressive.
……
Although "Zodiac" has resumed a certain amount of film scheduling, it still can't pose a threat to "Detective Chinatown"!
On Christmas Day, "Detective Chinatown" won another 100 million box office, pushing its cumulative box office to 6.9 billion...
At this point, the movie has only been in theaters for six days!
Everyone knows that the end point of "Tang Detective" is not 1 billion box office, but to break the record held by "Avatar".
At the same time, there is a pair of ironclad evidence on the Internet that "Tang Detective" is a bad movie!
"There is no novelty, and there is no sincerity. I don't think it's funny, everything is so deliberately in front of your eyes!"
"It's not funny at all, the plot is stinky and long, Wang Baobao picks the beams and is a clown who jumps the beam without a lower limit, and he roars uncomfortably, and the Tourism Bureau of Thailand is not easy, the Thai market style is not sold for a few minutes, and the police station and hospital are messed up by a big fuss, and the last bit of wandering feelings and ideal complexes are simply chicken and duck..."
"Dirty actors, throw away the festival for the New Year, this is not a movie, this is a misplaced entertainment. ”
There are even film critics who sarcastically ridicule "Detective Chinatown" No matter how ambitious the end of the film is, I want to say that this film is all about Hong Kong films, and Zhang Junsheng finally embarked on the road of plagiarism!
Seeing someone jumping out, Zhang Junsheng felt normal after him, so he said, how could there be no picking?
