Chapter 922: "The Flash" Released (1/3)
After the online promotion model used by Oriental DreamWorks for "Transformers" was discovered by the media, Dimei Pictures also attached great importance to it, and its actions on the Internet were a little bigger than before.
But Dimei Pictures has not made much change, at most it is just to put more advertisements on the Internet.
Everyone knows that it's not that Dimei Pictures doesn't want to make changes, but it's too late.
From creative to planning and then placement, there is also complicated negotiation and public relations in the middle, and the time is simply too late.
In particular, Oriental DreamWorks' topic marketing on Twitter, from hype to comprehensive dissemination, is extremely cumbersome, and under the flash of the media, no one can hype an ordinary topic into the hottest topic.
Now everyone has focused on the collision after the screening of the two films, and everything still depends on the quality of the film itself.
The first to be released was "The Flash", which was released on December 24, two days before "Transformers".
Time flies, and the date on the calendar soon comes to December 24.
Because of Christmas, on this day, most people in Europe and the United States are on vacation, and going to the theater to watch movies has also become the entertainment method chosen by countless families.
New York.
The lights are on at the beginning of the day, and the next day is six o'clock in the evening.
Simmons took his girlfriend to the studio early to buy two tickets for the movie "The Flash", and sat in the lobby with his girlfriend while eating snacks while waiting for the movie to start.
There's still half an hour to go.
"Haven't you been scolding Dimei a lot lately, why do you still watch their movies?" asked her boyfriend curiously, eating something in her mouth.
Simmons was stunned when he heard his girlfriend's words, but quickly returned to normal, snorted and said: "I came to watch their movies just so that I can better scold them in the future." ”
His aggrieved resignation from Carmichael's cinema line, and several years of hard work have all come to naught.
The mastermind behind all this, he knows very well that it is Dimei Pictures.
In order to ban Oriental DreamWorks at that time, Dimei Pictures put pressure on companies that had cooperated for many years, and Simmons, who successfully cooperated with Oriental DreamWorks and took this opportunity to be promoted, was a tragedy.
Therefore, there can only be one result for him, and that is to leave the company.
However, if you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry elm.
Simmons didn't expect that he was angry at the beginning, so he called the old man he had met a few times and told him the inside story, but he didn't expect that after he left Carmicha Cinemas, he quickly received an offer from another cinema company.
AMC Cinema Company, which is the second largest cinema company in the country, is one rank higher than Carmichael.
Later, when AMC Cinemas announced that it had been acquired by capital from Huaxia, Simmons vaguely guessed what was going on.
Although he doesn't know what direct relationship Oriental DreamWorks has with this acquisition, he can be sure that Oriental DreamWorks must have an ambiguous relationship with Huaxia Capital, which acquired AMC Cinemas.
Otherwise, how could it be that AMC Cinemas not only rejected the cooperation of Dimei Pictures, but instead pressed all the treasures on "Transformers", and the film scheduling rate has increased a lot unprecedentedly.
The reason why he came to watch "The Flash" today was not really to increase the box office data for competitors, but to come with a purpose, he wanted to watch this blockbuster carefully shot by Dimei Pictures, feel the real situation of the movie, and make a reference for the company to adjust and promote "Transformers" next.
In fact, he still has an unknown idea in his heart, that is, he wants to return all the unfair treatment he suffered before to the other party.
Just as Simmons was thinking about it, an annoying voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Hey, isn't this Simmons Manager? Why do you have time to come to our theater today? Won't you waste your precious personal time? I remember that you have always advocated that time is money, and how much money will you waste to watch a movie today?"
Hearing this, Simmons frowned, and looked up to see a man in a suit and leather shoes, shiny and slick, standing not far in front of him, looking at himself with a sneering smile on his face.
Jack Richardson, his rival at Carmichael, now seems to be the one who takes his place after he leaves.
"Who is he?" asked his girlfriend softly, taking Ramons' arm by the arm.
She could clearly hear the person in front of her speak, with a thick mockery and ridicule, and felt very unhappy in her heart, if it weren't for the public, she would have liked to smash the snack in her hand on the other party's face like a fat pig.
"Hehe, the staff under me in the past may be promoted now, and they are more happy, and they speak a little without going through their brains. Simmons pinched his girlfriend's face and said with a disdainful smile.
"Oh! no wonder!" the girlfriend suddenly showed a look of sudden realization when she heard this.
It turned out to be her boyfriend's former subordinate, who had been pressed under her boyfriend, and listening to her boyfriend's call, it was inevitable that there would be resentment, no wonder there was such obvious hostility.
When Jack Richardson saw the woman on the other side looking at him, his face showed sympathy and disdain, and the whole person suddenly exploded, and he couldn't help but remember that he was always pressed by Simmons before, and his efforts never seemed to be able to surpass the other party's results.
"Simmons, don't think you"
However, just as Jack Richardson was speaking with a temper, Simmons stood up suddenly, looked at Jack Richardson, his old colleague, condescendingly, and said indifferently: "Can this staff member do what you should do, instead of disturbing your customers here, if you continue to do this, I want to wonder if you are in a normal mood and whether you want to call the police, because you have seriously affected public safety." ”
With that, Simmons sat down again and ignored the other party.
Jack Richardson looked stunned, looked at the men and women in front of him, didn't know what to say, and was full of resentment and anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it, and what was even more angry was the woman, and waved his hand to himself and said: "The customer is God, now we are your God." ”
Hearing this, he was almost stunned by it.
However, just as he turned to leave, the woman said leisurely: "My boyfriend is the manager of the AMC distribution department, if you have any questions that you don't understand in the future, you can consult him privately!"
- Smack.
Jack Richardson slipped under his feet when he heard this, and almost fell, and the whole person was frightened by the information revealed by this sentence, which was incredible.
How can it be?
How did Simmons become AMC's man?
He also thought that a few months ago, Simmons would become unusually depressed and unwilling after leaving the company in embarrassment, but now it seems that the ending is completely reversed.
The other party actually joined AMC, and it seems that he is still a middle-level executive, and his future is unlimited all of a sudden, and the future is bright, which is not comparable to him now.
Thinking of this, Jack Richardson suddenly felt a pang of shame in his heart, quickened his pace, and hurried away.
When he turned a corner, he glanced back at Simmons, and couldn't help but have a question in his heart: Since the other party is a mid-level of AMC, why did he choose to watch "The Flash"?
Doesn't he know that this Christmas schedule is almost AMC's "Transformers", which is playing against Carmichael's "The Flash"?
