18 million!

When Oriental DreamWorks announced the first-day pre-sale box office revenue of "Those Years", a movie directed and acted by Yang Ming, everyone in the entertainment industry was stunned by this number, with an incredible look!

Is there any reason for this Nima?

"The End of the World", which is regarded as the pillar of blocking Hollywood blockbusters, had a box office of only around 20 million on the day of its premiere, and "Those Years", a low-cost love movie, how can it be compared with "The End of the World" at the box office on the first day?

You must know that "The End of the World" is a Golden Dragon Award-level cast, and the director is also a famous director who has won the Golden Dragon Award.

And what is there in "Those Years"?

In addition to Yang Ming, a newcomer who is still popular, the female lead Chen Yiran is only a little popular by relying on a talent show, and the other actors are basically passers-by A and passerby B in the entertainment industry, and no one has heard of them at all.

With the cast alone, "The End of the World" can throw out a few streets from "Those Years".

And now the box office of "Those Years" on the first day is about to catch up with the Golden Dragon Award-level lineup of "The End of the World", is there any reason for this? And this is still Nima's pre-sale, the movie "Those Years" has not been released at all, and there is still a week to see this movie in the cinema.

That is, a low-budget romance movie that will be released in 7 days has now reached 18 million at the first-day advance box office.

This fact really makes people in the entertainment industry feel incredible.

How could it be?

Don't say that outsiders feel unbelievable, even Yang Ming himself feels that this first-day pre-sale box office is too beyond his expectations and unimaginable.

Originally, in Yang Ming's expectation, through the pre-sale, it is estimated that the box office on the first day should be around 10 million, but I didn't expect that now there are more than 8 million, it seems that the consumption power of the Chinese people in this world is really much stronger than in the previous life.

And, most importantly, in this world, there is no mobile phone software on the market with the same functions as Maoyan.

After all, in the previous life, Maoyan, Guevara and other movie software, it was only after 2011 that this online seat selection function was available, after all, the agreement that needed to be negotiated was too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Ming is now the largest shareholder of Donghai Cinema Line, and since this period of time, he has successively acquired the shares of the Cinema Line, and he already has about 65% of the shares of Donghai Cinema Line in his hands.

There are so many aspects involved.

But even so, Yang Ming was very surprised that the first-day pre-sale box office reached the figure of 1800, he touched his nose, this can be regarded as a small surprise!

At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and he picked up the phone to see that it was Mo Shangde calling.

"Mr. Yang, now many cinemas across the country have called us and asked if our Maoyan online seat selection and ticketing system can also cooperate with their cinemas?" As soon as the phone was connected, Mo Shangde's excited and anxious voice came.

Obviously, at this moment, Mo Shangde is both excited and busy, yesterday at the beginning of the all-round promotion of Maoyan movie software, he received several calls to inquire about the details of cooperation, especially today when Oriental DreamWorks announced the first day of the pre-sale box office of "Those Years", today his phone was busy all of a sudden, and there was no time to stop at all.

Hearing Mo Shangde's request, Yang Ming thought about it seriously for a while, made a decision and said: "Cooperation is possible, but you tell them that within a week, you can only open the function of online seat selection and ticket purchase for the movie "Those Years"!"

Originally, Yang Ming wanted to say that the online seat selection and ticket purchase function could only be opened for "Those Years" within half a month, but when the words came to his lips, he thought about it and changed it to within a week.

Because once an agreement is reached with other theaters and cinemas, online seat selection and ticket purchase can only be opened to "Those Years" within half a month, and not to other released movies, the consequences and public opinion pressure brought by this are too great.

Is it possible that Donghai Cinema only shows Yang Ming's movies at all times? Obviously impossible!

But why is Maoyan Movie now only Yang Ming's movies able to choose seats and buy tickets online?

Needless to say, the meaning of this is very clear to everyone.

Mo Shangde also knows very well that Yang Ming, as the behind-the-scenes boss of Oriental DreamWorks, Meituan.com, Time.com, and Maoyan Film, naturally wants to maximize profits, and definitely wants to make his movies a big hit at the box office, and use the privileges in his hands to seek benefits for his films, which is a normal thing.

But if as the current person in charge of Maoyan Movie, Mo Shangde doesn't want to see this software serve Yang Ming alone, if that happens, threatened by Maoyan Movie, there will inevitably be a second Maoyan Movie software.

No one wants to be in danger of being choked at any moment.

"Well, okay!" Mo Shangde is an understanding person, and without saying a word, he obeyed Yang Ming's request.

Yang Ming also heard the faint loss in Mo Shangde's words, he naturally knew that this kind of practice would hurt the other party's enthusiasm, but there was no way to do it.

He has spent so much effort and laid out for so long, whether it is a group buying website or a time network, it is all for the emergence of Maoyan Movie, and the funds he has invested in these three companies in the past six months are definitely calculated in hundreds of millions.

Can't be, Yang Ming spent so much money and energy to make a wedding dress for others, right?

However, he also knows that this kind of thing can't last long, and eating alone alone is the most hated, and it is very likely that it will be attacked by other people, and then the loss of both will outweigh the losses.

"You just say it's going to take a week of back-end technical updates as an excuse. Yang Ming thought about it and found a reason, otherwise when the time came, in the face of other people's doubts, Mo Shangde's side would definitely be in a hurry.

Yang Ming believes that it is enough to eat alone for a week, as long as his second film can achieve good results in this Spring Festival schedule, this is very important to his future plans, and there is no room for mistakes.

With Yang Ming's opinion, Mo Shangde's next work has a focus.

The first to start cooperating with Maoyan Films are cinemas that have not joined the cinema chain in various parts of China, these cinemas are basically based on interests first, and now they can reach an agreement with Maoyan Films, which is naturally beneficial and harmless, as for only in this week, only one movie "Those Years" can have the function of online seat selection and ticket purchase, and other films can only be realized by waiting for a week of technical rectification.

For the statement of Maoyan Movie, those studios didn't take it to heart at all. It's only a week, and they can afford to wait.

As soon as these studios and Maoyan Movies reached an agreement, they followed up with Oriental DreamWorks and these studios signing the release schedule of "Those Years", which was basically the same as that of Donghai Cinemas.

Maybe no one cares about the two studios that haven't joined the theater chain, but what about these cinemas across the country?

With the addition of these studios, the pre-sale ticket office of "Those Years" on February 12 has changed!

It's up!
