Among the more than 30 cinemas in China, Hengtai Cinema Line occupies 32% of the proportion, which is larger than Wanda in Zhou Xing's previous life, and the Dragon Man Cinema Line, which ranks second, occupies 21% of the proportion.

Under the banner of Dragonman Cinemas, there are more than 100 cinemas and nearly 2,000 screens, and any movie without the support of Dragonman Cinemas will actually be greatly discounted at the box office.

The reason why Zhou Xing didn't care was because there was no way, he knew that it was impossible to achieve, as long as the Peng family was still in charge for a day, the Dragonman Cinema would never give Zhou Xing a chance to release any movie.

And Longren Cinema did not release "Journey to the West", so even if Peng Zhi and the others wanted to watch it, they could only go to other theaters, and Hengtai Cinema had very complete facilities in all aspects and a good environment, so the two naturally chose here.

As soon as you enter the studio, you can see the bustling crowd, whether it is the ticket hall or the rest area, it is overcrowded, even if there are not so many tickets sold at all, but there are still some unwilling Zhou Xing fans, as well as people who are interested in this movie, are reluctant to leave, and people keep coming in.

Even if mobile payment and online ticket purchase are very common now, there are still many people who are willing to come directly to the counter to buy, so they don't know that the tickets have already been sold out before they come, and they find that there are no tickets when they arrive.

But these people are doomed to be disappointed, the premiere can reach this scale, let alone refund the tickets, and even if there is, they will be sold out in an instant.

At this time, there are already many people in the rest area staring at their mobile phones, just waiting for a vacant seat to start immediately, once they start, how can there be a share of the buyer in front of the counter, after all, the staff has to ask before they can operate, and at that time the network system has long been snatched away by the order.

Looking at the grand crowd in the hall, Peng Zhi and his son were not surprised by this scene, but there were fewer people to have problems.

After all, the publicity was so strong before, and it also caused a strong response, with the experience of Peng Zhi and the others, no matter what the follow-up box office is, the premiere will definitely be very popular, reaching the point where it is difficult to find a ticket.

As for the follow-up, it depends on the word-of-mouth on the first day, if the evaluation is good, it will affect more people to watch, and once the word-of-mouth continues to ferment, the box office will rise further.

Although this is the truth, but when they really saw it with their own eyes, Peng Zhi and the others were still a little depressed in their hearts.

Glancing at each other, Peng Haokang said in a deep voice: "Look at it like this, as long as their movies are not too bad, coupled with the appeal of Zhou Xing and Liu Shengan, and that slut, the box office will get hundreds of millions, and it is a sure thing not to lose money." ”

Peng Zhi also nodded: "In the current market, as long as there is this scale, the box office will not be bad, it depends on the follow-up word-of-mouth, I underestimated this guy before." ”

It is precisely because they know this situation that they saw this kind of popularity some time ago, and both of them can judge that as long as this movie is not made in a mess, it is still profitable, so it makes Peng Zhi and the others very unhappy, so they want to take this opportunity to give Zhou Xing a fatal blow and make him fall short.

Peng Haokang is a raw face to the public, but Peng Zhi is not known to everyone because of the influence of the dragon man in the film and television industry, but the staff of Hengtai Cinema must know him, so both of them are wearing hats and masks today.

Now that it's cold, this outfit doesn't make people suspicious.

As 0:00 approached, a notice began to come out of the speakers to prepare for the ticket check-in.

So Peng Zhi and his son went to line up to check the tickets, entered the screening area in turn, and according to the information on the tickets, the two went straight to Hall 1.

Because Zhou Xing once saved Pang Jiusheng's life, this time, for the premiere of Zhou Xing's movie, 80% of the screens in all the theaters under Hengtai Cinema Line were given to "Journey to the West", which is only for the entire theater chain, and specific to each cinema, some films are scheduled to almost 100%.

Just like Peng Zhi, the Hengtai Cinema they came to has 12 halls, 10 of which are "Journey to the West", which shows the support.

Of course, this is also linked to the feedback from the market, if "Journey to the West" did not invest so much publicity and cause such repercussions and expectations, even if Pang Jiusheng wanted to support Zhou Xing, it would be impossible to give so many films, otherwise they would be empty seats at that time, and it would be meaningless.

Not only that, but it will also be protested by other film companies.

And now, even if 80% of the films are scheduled, they are still in short supply, and even if other filmmakers are depressed, they have nothing to say, after all, the market determines the value.

However, there are no new films released today, and those that are still hanging in theaters are all films that have been released for a while, and even if there are other films ready to be released, seeing the popularity of "Journey to the West", unless you are stupid, you will arrange to be released at the same time as it, otherwise you will definitely be bombarded into scum.

It is precisely because of this that Hengtai has the confidence to give such a high film schedule, and not only it, but other theaters have more than 60% of the film schedule for "Journey to the West", which is optimistic about it.

And that's exactly what happened, all the shows on New Year's Day were sold out.

New Year's Day, it is the time for leisure and entertainment, and there is such a much-anticipated movie released, who doesn't want to see it?

Even if there were countless controversies before, especially if it was not optimistic, but there was a topic of controversy, and under the expectation, you have to see it first to know how it is, anyway, now that the standard of living is high, a movie ticket is only a few dozen yuan.

There are still ten minutes left before 0:00, and just when all the cinemas are ready to be screened, the theaters suddenly find that all the 3D film sources are lost, and only 2D film sources are left.

This scene, how similar to the release of "The Legend of Immortals and Demons 2" last year, immediately surprised all the theater leaders, and hurriedly contacted Xinghui Pictures.

At such an important moment, how could Zhou Xing, Guo Chao, Zhang Yang and other high-level executives do anything else, they are all in Xinghui Pictures at the moment, waiting for the good start of the release, but the good news was not received, but they got this bad news, which suddenly surprised everyone, and they all subconsciously looked at Zhang Yang.

Except for Zhang Yang, Guo Chao and Zhu La, no one else knew that Zhou Xing also had a computer level no less than Zhang Yang, so they naturally set their eyes on him.

Like the reactions of various theaters, this scene is too familiar, it is the scene when "The Legend of Immortals and Demons 2" was released last year, but I didn't expect it to appear in my own movie.

If it can't be solved, the consequences will be too serious, and the foundation of Dragonman Pictures will suffer a heavy blow, not to mention their Xinghui.

Although the loss of the dragon man is more because Peng Zhi put the point of the spin-off and listing of the group company on the movie, because the box office of the movie adversely affected the decline of the stock price of the dragon man, which led to the untimely death of the spin-off and listing, but even if there is no such thing, it will also lose hundreds of millions for the dragon man.

And for Xinghui, this is the first part, is it going to go out of business before it opens?

After Zhang Yang heard the news, his face sank, and he was just about to get up, but he was stopped by Zhou Xing: "You go directly into the system of a cinema, do what we planned before, and I will look for you in a while." ”

Zhou Xing's words were inexplicable, although Zhang Yang was a little confused, but he was also about to go to a computer to check the situation, and since Zhou Xing said so, there must be a reason for him, anyway, he will come to him for a while, and then ask in private, so he nodded and left.

After Zhang Yang left, Zhou Xing said to Peng Hui again:

"You are now organizing personnel to call various theaters, and say that this is what we set up on purpose, for fear that there will be a situation in the original "Legend of Immortals and Demons 2", so you set up a double insurance for the 3D film source, let them appease the audience, and tell them that if it is played directly after half an hour, the film source will be normal. ”

Peng Hui was stunned, judging from the face he had just made and Zhou Xing's instructions to him, he knew that this could never have been designed in advance, otherwise he would have handled the film sources of various theaters by himself, how could he not even know himself.

But Zhou Xing's prestige is too high, and Zhou Xing at this moment is not flustered, as calm as usual, which also made Peng Hui's heart a little more relaxed just now, and nodded, but he still said:

"Mr. Zhou, I'm fine, but I'm afraid that if I say so, the theater chain may not believe it. ”

Zhou Xing said calmly: "You just tell them that at 0:30, it can definitely be screened normally, and if it is delayed, or if it causes any losses, it will be borne by Xinghui Pictures, and it will be said that I Zhou Xing said it." ”

Peng Hui was shocked, but he immediately thought with some uncertainty, could this really be designed by Mr. Zhou and Zhang Yang in advance? For the sake of secrecy, only the two of them knew?

Peng Hui didn't feel angry because he didn't tell himself, but he was a little uneasy by this sudden situation, if he was a bystander, he would be able to tell that Zhou Xing was definitely not telling the truth, but how could he expect so much at this time, so he agreed, and then went out to make arrangements.

After Peng Hui left, Zhou Xing looked at Guo Chao, Zhu La, Zhang Junhong, Liu Wei, Fang Datong, and Xiao Qing next to him, and said with a smile:

"Don't have this expression, I don't know if you really think something is wrong with us, okay, you wait here for a while, I'll go find Zhang Yang, and it will be normal in half an hour." ”

Even if they feel that there is something strange in it, they can't do anything about it, and Zhou Xing looks confident at the moment, and let Peng Hui give the same promise as the theater chains, it shouldn't be untargeted.

Under the infection of Zhou Xing's strong self-confidence, their minds were also a little lighter, after all, Zhou Xing had long been omnipotent in their hearts, no matter how difficult it was, no matter how impossible it was, it would become possible in his hands.

Therefore, after Zhou Xing left, although they were still talking about it, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as it was just now.

At this time, the time also came to 0 o'clock.

In the cinemas under the cinema chains, the audience in each theater was still waiting for the screening, but it was not played for several minutes after 0:00, and the lights were still on in the theater, which made everyone feel strange.

Gradually, some viewers shouted:

"What's going on, it's past 0:05, why hasn't it been screened yet?"

"That's it, can you let it go, delay my time!"

"What about people, give me an explanation?"

"Come on, people, what are you doing, this is, really!"

……

In the cinema under Hengtai Cinema Line, the cinema where Peng Zhi and his son entered, seeing that there was no screening at this time, the two looked at each other, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes, not only joy, but also revenge!

Subsequently, in the noisy shouting, Peng Haokang was young and vigorous, and he also shouted loudly with everyone:

"Can you still see it, but give an explanation, people, come to someone!"

After shouting a few words, Peng Haokang shouted loudly:

"Nothing will happen, right? Do they think "Journey to the West" is too ugly, so they won't release it directly?"

"Or is there something wrong with the film that is temporarily discovered, and it has to be taken back for revision, and it will not be released for the time being?"

"Even so, we should be given an explanation and explanation, we can't be allowed to wait here, right?"

At the instigation of Peng Haokang, the audience was even more angry, shouting:

"That is, our time is not time, can you explain the situation personally, what is going on?"

"If you can put it, you can put it quickly, if you can't put it, you can refund the ticket as soon as possible, and compensate for the loss, I take a taxi back and forth is more expensive than a movie ticket, and there is a time cost!"

……

Listening to the rising emotions of everyone, Peng Haokang couldn't help laughing in his heart: "If you can let it go, it will be hell, and you will talk about Journey to the West, just dumb the fire!"

At this moment, Peng Haokang's heart was very happy, there was a kind of dog day drinking ice soda, if it wasn't for the occasion, he couldn't help laughing, it was so relieving.

At this time, although Peng Zhi also felt relieved, he also thought of the situation when his movie was released last year, and those audiences also scolded like this.

Thinking of this, Peng Zhi gritted his teeth with hatred, and thought fiercely in his heart: "Zhou Xing, I want you to double the loss you caused me in the first place." ”

Peng Haokang turned his head to look at his father, although he was wearing a mask, he could still see through his eyes that he was not smiling, but a little gloomy, and he guessed what his father was thinking in his heart, so he said:

"Dad, don't worry, what Zhou Xing owes us, although he can't get it back, but this feud will definitely let him cut it off little by little, I want to make him miserable, and there will never be a day to turn over!"

"Hmm. ”

Peng Zhi nodded heavily, and then smiled: "This kind of scene, looking at it is really relieving, and it is not in vain for you to make a move." ”

Peng Haokang also laughed, and then squinted his eyes and looked ahead: "This is just the beginning, in the future, I will let Zhou Xing know that I have offended us badly, and let him regret not being at the beginning." ”

Peng Zhi smiled, and then sighed: "It's a pity that the losses caused to us are irreparable, this Zhou Xing is simply too hateful." ”

The two said a few more words, and when they saw the commotion in the audience, Peng Zhi got up and said:

"Okay, the movie can't be released anyway, I've seen the excitement, it's not interesting here, let's go back. ”

Peng Haokang just wanted to agree, but suddenly saw a staff member come in at the door, and then changed his words: "Dad, don't worry, listen to what they have to say." ”

Peng Zhi also saw the person coming, thinking that he was not in a hurry for a while anyway, so he sat down again.
