Chapter 53: Where There Are People, There Is Strife [6 of 8]
"Walter, what does it have to do with Liang fans?"
Zhang Junsheng was a little speechless...
Although Da Mi Mi is making money, the "Small Times" series has really helped the eye-looking movie make a reputation, from this point of view, Zhang Junsheng, as the major shareholder of the eye-looking movie, of course, should be grateful to Da Mi Mi...
"The only difference between "Little Times" and "The Ferryman" is that there are no Liang fans involved!"
“… Who told you?"
Liu Sisi rolled his eyes: "Don't think I don't know, "Little Times" is the Liang fan you suggested to find!"
"Liang fans back then were quite appealing, and Guo Jingming himself thought she was suitable... No, it's a movie that is aimed at investment, and it really has nothing to do with me!"
Zhang Junsheng decisively and vigorously opposed...
"Hmph, I went to the audition in the first place!"
“… Really?"
"The Liang fan they chose!"
"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have been crowned the queen of bad movies..."Zhang Junsheng clicked on his phone while chatting: "... Hey, Disney wants to audition for "Mulan"..."
Liu Sisi was decisively led astray: "Mulan"?"
"Yes, I guess I saw the success of "Crazy Rich Money" and envied it!"
……
Zhang Junsheng is of course a double-standard dog!
It's just that he's not targeting people, it's movies...
Wang tearing onion is also a double-standard dog, on the surface he says that he is a sling, but in fact, he looks down on people in various ways.
Tang Ningyu has a nightclub, Wang Tearing Onion went to it once, and directly scolded the waiter and cried...
VIP private room, singing.
The waitress was a girl, and she ordered a song and ordered the wrong one.
Then Wang tore the onion and scolded directly, 'Do you knock you' or something...
If your dad is rich and famous, then it is easy to be morally noble, or have extremely high emotional intelligence.
When Zhang Junsheng first debuted, he liked to point fingers at some movies, he scolded basically all the filmmakers in China, and the works of the three major directors were scolded by him...
It's just that with the change of identity, he may have hidden his truest thoughts.
I also rarely write movie reviews.
This time, I was probably...
After all, he hasn't been to the cinema to watch a movie for a long time, did he think that even if it was bad, it would be rotten "Little Times"?
I didn't expect people to really come up with works that fly like wings!
"Little Times" can finally see where the money is spent, "The Ferryman" really fucking can't understand...
400 million, where did you spend it?
In fact, people really didn't lie about their expenses, Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu filmed for ten months!
Hong Kong actors are all paid by the day!
Liang Chaowei's salary is about 20 million, and the two-month schedule is ...
"The Ferryman", directly for ten months!
If this drama is independently produced by Zedong Film and Television, and Wang Jiawei serves as the director, then it may be forgotten, and the symbolic remuneration will be charged...
Fujison Pictures has a lot of money!
is given according to the ten-month schedule, so Liang Chaowei's salary is 80 million yuan, and Jin Chengwu is a little less, 60 million...
Several actors account for more than 60% of their salaries!
Isn't that reasonable?
Can you step on a horse and shoot a romantic comedy for ten months?
Yue Hua's "Beijing Meets Seattle" was filmed for 46 days...
"Living Together in Time and Space" was filmed for forty-three days...
……
"Yuehua Media deserves to be Yuehua Media, and Zhang Junsheng deserves to be Zhang Junsheng!"
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, Zeng Maojun, CEO of Wanda Cinemas, turned his back to several high-level executives behind him and said, "I saw the money scene of big industrial movies five years ago!"
"Yes, the box office of "All Channel Blocking and Interference" is 260 million on weekdays, and it will be the New Year's Day schedule soon, and it is estimated that the box office of this film is likely to exceed that of "The Wandering Earth"!"
One of the executives in the back continued, "Our early film scheduling and screening strategy is still a bit conservative. ”
"There's nothing wrong with being conservative. Zeng Maojun whispered.
Zeng Maojun has always been at the helm of Wanda Cinemas, and he knows very well that no matter how successful a distribution company is, there are times when it misses, not to mention that a movie like "All Channel Blocking Interference" really has no potential to sell well at first glance!
Cinema companies adopt a relatively conservative strategy to minimize risks.
The most typical is "The Ferryman", which cost 400 million yuan and dozens of first-line stars participated, if the company just looks at their fame and discharges a huge number of screens, then the loss of the summer file will probably be an astronomical amount.
Although it is said that there are six to ten audiences in a small theater, the cost of the screening can be recovered.
But with nearly 5,000 theaters and only 130 million box office figures in the first weekend of "The Ferryman", I am afraid that on average, there will not be six audiences in small theaters for each screening.
It's definitely a loss-making movie!
For loss-making movies, there has always been only one strategy for the theater chain.
"From tomorrow, continue to reduce the number of screens in The Ferryman. ”
Without much thought, Zeng Maojun made a decision based on the opinions of several other executives, "By Thursday, the number of theaters and the scheduling rate of "The Ferryman" will be reduced to the lowest floating clause of the contract." ”
Major cinema chains across the country have signed distribution contracts with Fujisun, stipulating the minimum film schedule...
No one objected, this is the most normal treatment of a failed movie.
Zeng Maojun turned around and said, "The vacated theaters and screens..."
Someone in the back reminded, "Starting on Friday, the head office will have a suspense film "Where Did You Go That Summer" will be released, which is said to be adapted from a drama!"
"Hmm..."Zeng Maojun nodded, thought about it briefly, and said, "The screens vacated by "The Ferryman" were cast on "Where Did You Go That Summer" and "All-Channel Blocking Interference" respectively, as for the scheduling rate of the two films..."
"The Wandering Earth" is very strong in the later stage, and the box office trend of "All Channel Blocking and Interference" is very similar to "The Wandering Earth"..."
"I see. ”
Zeng Maojun understood the meaning of his words, and said directly, "Reduce the scheduling rate of "The Ferryman" as much as possible. ”
There is no doubt that "The Ferryman" fell victim.
Not only Wanda Cinemas, but other film companies have made similar decisions.
In the case of theater companies making adjustments one after another, "Ferryman", which does not have much competitiveness at all, is simply not worth mentioning in "All-channel Blocking Interference" during the working day.
Starting from Monday, Wu Ershan led Xu Yan, Hu Ge, Wang Bo and other main actors to embark on a promotional journey, and the daily box office statistics can also be updated in a timely manner through eye-catching ticketing!
On Monday, the single-day box office of "The Ferryman" fell directly below eight figures, only getting 9.8 million, and in the same day, the box office of "All Channel Blocking Interference" was more than 20 times that of "The Ferryman", which swept away 210 million yuan;
By Tuesday, "The Ferryman" rebounded slightly, and the single-day box office returned to the eight-figure ranks, earning 10.31 million, but it fell again on Wednesday, with only 8.91 million in the account.
At the same time, "All-Channel Blocking Interference" received 219 million and 198 million respectively in these two days...
So far, "All-Channel Blocking and Interference" has been released for seven days, and the box office has reached 1.78 billion, continuing to maintain the box office reaper, while "The Ferryman", which was released in the same period, is only a pitiful 180 million.
Zhang Jiajia couldn't sit still...
