Chapter 522: Competition and Cooperation
After the reversal of public opinion, even the "People's Daily" also commented on this hot topic, which can be regarded as the official conclusion of the coffin, and the attitude of anti-unsubmarine rules jumped on the paper, completely dispelling some people's illusions.
After all, "People's Daily" is not an ordinary newspaper, and even the last bit of resistance has been shattered, and even the capital behind them can't bear it.
Zhou Bai did not continue to pursue, even if the attitude above was clearly on his side, but if he did not relent, he would fall behind, after all, these people did not have clear evidence that they really did it, it can only be said that it is peach news, and the lesson they have received is big enough, Zhou Bai as long as the attitude is enough, I believe that for a long time in the future, this kind of thing will be much less, at least it can dispel many people's minds.
Movie promotion needs to be continued, and the trailer of the first "Fast Pursuit" was also released smoothly, and the effect was very good, and the discussion about "Fast Pursuit" on the Internet was hot, and many fans were excited about it, and the discussion even exceeded Zhang Yimou's new movie "Ambush on All Sides".
The popularity of "The Amazing Pursuit" has soared, which makes Zhang Weiping nervous, although the schedule has been staggered to a certain extent, it is not completely without competition, even if it is Zhang Yimou's golden signboard and the appeal of Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro and other top stars, he does not dare to take it lightly, and devotes himself to the promotion of the movie, and also increases the injection of resources.
The competition in this year's summer vacation is not fierce, and June is completely dominant, and there is no competition at all, after all, there are too many differences.
The American blockbuster "Troy" was released on June 12, which can be regarded as a good start to the summer vacation, this epic war film with a production cost of 175 million US dollars, even if the quality is mediocre, it is still at the hegemonic level.
In fact, the distributor of "Troy" itself does not pay attention to the Chinese mainland box office, coupled with the relationship of less share, the distributor even feels that it is a waste of time for the crew to come to China, plus the quality of the film is not as good as imagined, and the box office drop of 60 million can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
In the whole month of June, there is basically no movie that can compete with "Troy", whether it is "Sanmao Saves the Orphan" or "Candlelight", it is not even a companion, the imported Dongying movie "Dusk Qingbingwei" and the main theme police film "Suspicious Loyal Soul" have not been able to set off any waves, and the only "Beautiful Shanghai" that can make the audience a little interested in it is also collapsed under the impact of "Troy", and the box office results are dismal, and the loss has almost become a foregone conclusion.
Is the quality of "Troy" too good? Actually, no, "Troy" did not achieve the desired results in the United States, both critics and audiences are mostly criticized, but relying on the accumulation of beautiful men and gorgeous special effects and war scenes, American blockbusters are still the hegemon of the mainland box office market, at least in the absence of heavyweight Chinese blockbusters to compete, "Troy" is not a problem at all to dominate the domestic box office in June.
It's not that the audience doesn't like to watch Chinese movies, it's just that the quality of low-cost Chinese movies is not good, the story is not strong, the quality of the movie is ordinary, and the audience votes with their feet to choose an American blockbuster that can at least enjoy the special effects and pictures.
Three weeks after the release of "Troy", "Ambush on All Sides" began to take over, and three weeks after "Ambush on All Sides", "Fast Pursuit" took over again, which can be said to have contracted the box office of the entire summer vacation.
What can be postponed has been postponed, and what can't be postponed is basically the few films that don't have hope at all, in the schedule of "Ambush on All Sides", the only movie released is the Korean movie "My Boyfriend's Romance", as for the box office results of Korean films in the mainland, well, it is probably not as good as the box office results of our domestic science fiction films.
And the schedule of "Fast Pursuit", there are only two movies released in the same month, "Woman on the Construction Site" and "Shrek 2", the former is a movie produced by the program center of CCTV Movie Channel, the cost is pitiful, it is conceivable that I didn't think about the box office at all, as long as it can be released, the latter is an animated film, which has always been unpopular in the mainland, anyway, in the face of a movie like "Fast Pursuit" with an investment of more than 100 million, I gave up the idea of fighting early.
"Lao Bai, I and Yimou will take the crew of "Ambush on All Sides" to cheer you on, enough to give you face, right? When the movie is released, you kid can't be absent, you are also one of the investors, don't you have a share of the movie when it makes money?" Zhang Weiping was very enthusiastic on the phone.
"Mr. Zhang, this is not for me, it is an event hosted by Harper's Bazaar, I am just the co-sponsor of the event, the crew of "Ambush on All Sides" came to participate in the charity star night, which is also helpful for the promotion of the movie, isn't it? Zhou Bai said with a smile, Zhang Weiping used words to pinch him, just because he wanted Zhou Bai to admit his feelings, but Zhou Bai was not fooled.
"That's also for the sake of your face, don't you understand what level of director Yimou is, if there are only people from Bazaar's side, do you think you can invite him? Liu Dehua, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhang Ziyi are all top stars, all three of them are present, it's not that I underestimate Bazaar, if it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have considered this matter at all, if you don't admit it, then we won't go." Zhang Weiping pretended to be angry, as if it weren't for Zhou Bai, he wouldn't have looked at the so-called charity star Ye Yi.
"Mr. Zhang, what you said is too much for me, I can't afford to be it, you said so, what else can I say, don't worry, I will definitely help when the movie is released." Having said that, there are thousands of media reports on the charity star night, and if you bring the crew over, as long as you grab one-third of the exposure, what kind of publicity it must be, even if you look at the face of this exposure, you have to go, right? ”
"That's settled, we'll see you then. Zhang Weiping didn't talk to Zhou Bai anymore, the two sides were originally a community of interests, the relationship was not bad, everyone had a tacit understanding, there was competition and cooperation, these words were also a joke, just to contact the feelings.
In Zhang Wei's opinion, if there is no Zhou Bai, there will be 200 media outlets at the charity star night, and Zhang is willing to take his head off and kick it as a ball, and this event will definitely not attract first-line stars to cheer in the past.
