Tang Jiayi pouted, "It's all your own fault, who is to blame?"

Atletico shook his hand disappreciatively, "I don't need to interfere in this matter, they will naturally take care of it, we just need to wait for the result." ”

"Are you really okay?"

"It's all right," Atletico reconfirmed, affirming, "we're foreigners!

Of course, Tang Jiayi understands what he means, if things get big and Bee cancels the assembly plant under construction, other mobile phone companies will become cautious, and the last unlucky ones are the locals.

However, this tone reminded her of the old things, and she felt unhappy and immediately replied: "Hey! There is a difference between foreign businessmen and foreign businessmen, do you think you are Warren Anderson?"

In 2010, an Indian court concluded an old case and sentenced eight Indians to two years in prison. The eight were executives at Union Carbide India, whose chemical plant had leaked in 1984 that killed tens of thousands and disabled hundreds of thousands.

As the most serious chemical accident in the history of the mainland middle school textbook, and it is an obvious liability accident, but after 26 years, such a light judgment was made, although there are loopholes in the legal provisions, Midland Carbon reached a $470 million compensation agreement with India as early as 1989, and Midland Carbon was merged by Dow Chemical (DO) in 2001, etc., it is also impossible to ignore the influence of the company behind the company.

This time it was Atletico's turn to be upset, "Where do you think we're going? It's our shop that was smashed, are we the victims? Don't confuse me with those bastards who want money and don't want their lives." ”

Tang Jiayi nodded convincingly: "Yes, you just played a few NPCs in the game, it's really nothing." ”

Atletico rolled her eyes and followed her words and said: "Since you think so, I won't go to the evening event, and I also think that staying in the hotel to play games is more suitable for me, and maybe I can refresh a few rankings." ”

When the words came out, people did not back down, and immediately put down the words: "If you don't go, you won't go, anyway, it's definitely not me who is most anxious!"

This is also the truth, if Atletico Madrid, who is in charge of traffic, is absent from the event, tonight's Shanghai Film Festival Bee Shadow Night will definitely lose a lot of color. The event is not popular and lacks exposure, and it will be someone who suffers when the time comes.

Speaking of which, the purpose of film companies to hold such events is naturally to promote unreleased films to media reporters, who then convey the message to readers and audiences. But in the eyes of media reporters, there is really nothing to say about unreleased movies, celebrities are the target to attract them, whether it is print media, online media or TV broadcasting, we all know that there is a star and there is traffic, and there is a reason for the chicken legs.

So the movie night has become a transaction, the film company holds an event to show the stars to tie in the sale of new movies, reporters and friends take photos and write reports to promote the movie by the way, and everyone takes what they need and is fine.

It's just that Bee Shadow is an outlier in the Internet movie company, and their movie nights have always lacked highlights. Although there is no shortage of high-cost big productions in these guys, they are not as keen on accumulating a star lineup as Lay's Pictures, A Mao Pictures, Kiwifruit, and Oil Depot Pictures, and there are only rookie newcomers and gold medal supporting actors at the event, and reporters really don't know what to shoot or write.

Because Atletico Madrid confirmed to attend tonight's event, the organizers received a lot of emails from the media asking for admission letters, in addition to entertainment reporters, there are also many financial and technology reporters who came to join in the fun.

However, Atletico Madrid was not worried about this, and waved his hand lightly, "Don't worry, the protagonist tonight is not me at all, as long as the 'Wandering' team shows up on time to smash the ice sculpture, reporters and friends will definitely have no opinion." ”

At noon today, Bee Pictures suddenly released a message on the official scarf, informing two things: First, after data aggregation, the global box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 3.5 billion yuan, officially surpassing the 3.3 billion of the star movie "Mermaid" and topping the Chinese film box office list. The second is that they are going to hold a celebration party for this film, and the time is tonight, co-organized with "Bee Shadow Night".

From the beginning of the summer season to the present, a number of domestic films have continued the sluggish state of last summer, and the box office is miserable, if it were not for the "wandering" hard top American blockbusters to achieve a box office of 2.7 billion in the mainland, and strive to ensure more than half of the box office share of domestic films, the media would definitely exclaim and ask, "The summer file is 'heat stroke' again, what happened to domestic films?"

It's good now, there is this movie "protecting the country", and the relevant parties will naturally praise it, and even the Central Aunt Daily has praised this movie, and the local media and online media don't want to report it, so they have to come and take a look, otherwise it will be too insensitive.

Hearing him talk about smashing the ice sculpture, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but be a little curious, and opened her mouth to ask, "By the way, what is the number on the ice sculpture?"

Today is June 18th, Father's Day, Goudong Mid-Year Shopping Festival, and Sunday, which is the peak period for people around the world to watch movies. The box office figures are changing all the time, and no one can say how much it will end up with, Bee Pictures simply used this as a gimmick to make a "universal celebration ice smashing quiz", saying that it would give the most accurate netizens a Tesla ModelX electric car, and other participants can also get BBQ notebook sets, pt2 game console sets, bee game members, bee TV members, movie peripherals and other prizes, which is really a blood.

Atletico smiled, "They have prepared more than 90 figures, and when the time comes, we will see what the real-time box office is, and put the numbers on the spot." Anyway, now that the ticketing systems of most countries are already online, it is not difficult to obtain real-time box office. ”

Hearing her say that she wanted to use real-time numbers, Tang Jiayi couldn't help laughing, "Haha, those children who guessed 3.6 billion or 3.7 billion really wanted to be tragic, let me feel sorry for them for a second." ”

"No way," Atletico said solemnly, "we're so honest, we have one thing to say. ”

Tang Jiayi squinted and smiled at each other, "Then what do you think the final box office of the movie will be?"

Atletico stretched out his right palm, his expression full of calmness: "No matter what, it has to be a billion dollars, otherwise how embarrassed to say that it is a box office hit." ”

After converting the exchange rate in her mind, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but struck: "The tone is too big, isn't it? Now it's only 3.5 billion, where do you find the remaining 3 billion?"

"The domestic market still has potential, and the box office trend is still solid. Overseas, it has only been released on a large scale in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe. North America is still accumulating word of mouth, and when the box office really explodes, it is actually very simple to complete the goal. ”

"Hey, who wouldn't say big words?" Tang Jiayi still felt that he was a little floating, "Don't think that you are invincible in the world after defeating some Hollywood movies in your homeland, North American audiences are famous for their xenophobia, and when it comes to other people's territory, it is properly the rhythm of being beaten by Transformers, Despicable Me, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Spider-Man, and Cars." By the way, there is also Luc Besson's City of a Thousand Planets, which is also a space theme, a big director, a famous IP, a $200 million blockbuster special effects blockbuster, and a standard rival template!"

Atletico shook his head, "I didn't say that the world is invincible, isn't this an honest small-scale screening, a little bit of digging users to accumulate word of mouth?"

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Atletico Madrid said half-explaining and half-confiding: "This movie has made money now, and the rest is a matter of earning more and earning less." In fact, my expectations for the North American market are not high, I don't want to make much profit but I want the box office to be high enough, even if the box office of long-term screenings is eaten by theaters, we can also make money through games and peripheral toys. By the way, there are also special effects orders, and Yikuai has received a lot of subcontracts such as scene construction and crowd simulation in the past year, and the workload is scheduled for next year. ”

"In this regard, Bee Pictures is completely different from the simple film companies of Europa Pictures, in order to maximize the box office revenue, they take the route of high-density publicity, large-scale opening, and fast in and fast out. But the problem is that there are more and more entertainment methods now, and the audience's attention is very distracted, and this road is becoming more and more difficult for original IP movies, and it is likely that only sequel movies will be able to play large-scale opening in the future, after all, the audience is not afraid that no one will watch it. ”

"According to what you say, wouldn't it be better to be free, just throw video resources to the P2P network, watch a lot of people, and don't have to spend money to publicize it. ”

"It's not impossible to rely on users to find out and spread spontaneously without publicity, but this is too inefficient, and I still have a bunch of projects waiting behind me, so I can't wait. ”

"What's the matter, you're justified, okay!"

"That's what it is," Atletico Madrid glanced at his wife: "If you plan to invest in movies in the future, you must pay attention to this problem." It doesn't matter how you publicize it, the key is to promote the movie, otherwise it will be floating clouds. is like some movies, with a lot of traffic, Internet topics are really popular, but unfortunately there are few audiences when they are released, even if there are really fans who go to buy tickets, many will refund and lock the venue before the release, so it is better not to look for them. ”

Tang Jiayi raised her eyebrows, "Lock the field?"

"Buy tickets in advance to lock in the number of screenings, so that movie theaters can't just cut the film schedule. ”

There is a high-standard screening room at home, and Tang Jiayi has not been to the cinema for several years, and she is also surprised at the moment: "Can it still be like this?"

"Well, you can see it at a glance when you go to those celebrity post bars, this thing is completely public, the pre-sale lock pushes up the premiere schedule, and the upcoming release is even more locked to keep the film, and there are people who specialize in statistics and progress announcements and keep urging the rankings, and I don't know if it's a real fan or a rhythm party. ”

"Then let the movie theater lock it?"

"Depending on the situation, movie theaters usually ignore it, and anyway, there is not much box office for any movie that is shown during the cold season. However, if you come across a popular movie, it will be inferred that the equipment is broken, cancel the film schedule, and instead show the popular movie throughout the day. Some movie theaters are troublesome, so they simply don't change the film schedule and just release other films. ”

"Isn't this just stealing the box office?"

"yes!" Atletico nodded, "If it weren't for someone stealing the box office, I wouldn't have paid attention to this thing." Compared with stealing the box office, locking the venue is actually nothing, and I am afraid that the cinema will combine the two things, which will be disgusting. ”

The box office of Bee Pictures was stolen, and Tang Jiayi, who is an indirect shareholder, will also have her interests damaged, so she immediately asked: "How much was stolen?"

Atletico shook his head, "I don't know, I can only see from the number of games that there is a theft of the box office, but I can't tell how much I stolen." ”

Today, cinema projection systems and box office systems are networked, and if there is a significant difference in the number of screenings recorded by each of them, it can be concluded that there is a phenomenon of box office stealing. As for whether the box office will be diverted to other films, or the entire box office under the handwritten movie ticket, it is unknown.

"There are 40,000 screens in the country, and 200,000 movies are shown every day, which is simply not manageable. ”

"So let it go?"

"Almost," Atletico was also a little depressed, "Although the film law has fines, the local film bureaus are understaffed, and they haven't used the fine weapon yet, at most, they refuse to continue to cooperate after they find out." Now there is talk of installing cameras in movie theaters to count the heads, and the situation should gradually improve. ”

Normally, the stolen box office is Hollywood movies, first, these movies are popular enough, and the demand for watching movies is greater; second, the producers are far overseas, and transnational lawsuits are not easy to fight; third, cinemas have incentive indicators for screening domestic films, and the box office of domestic films produced by theaters exceeds 66%, and 5% of the special funds for films corresponding to this part of the box office will be returned.

However, if the cinema uses handwritten movie tickets and does not record them, and sells packages to transfer profits, it doesn't matter if it is imported domestically, and if you steal it properly, you will earn it. With a large number of third- and fourth-tier local theaters and even township theaters joining the screening sequence, handwritten tickets, package tickets, aisle tickets and other ways to steal the box office have appeared one after another, causing a lot of losses to Bee Film.

Seeing his wife's face full of losses, Atletico reached out and knocked the other party's forehead, "Okay, don't do this." If these problems are not solved in a day, you will not be able to live this day?"

Glancing at the other party, Tang Jiayi sighed, "I just feel a little unwilling, the movie is really complicated." ”

"You can figure it out if you look at these additional losses as necessary channel costs. After all, the number of our own movie theaters is limited, and we must rely on the strength of others, so we naturally have to accept the problem of declining terminal control and being taken advantage of. This is just the screening environment, there are many twists and turns in the film industry, your husband and I have also paid a lot of tuition to get to today, and I will learn more in the future!"

Tang Jiayi opened her mouth and was about to go back, when the cabin announcement suddenly sounded, and the flight attendant gently informed them that the plane was about to arrive at Hongqiao Airport, please return to your seat and fasten your seat belt.

Hearing the word "Hongqiao", she suddenly thought of a person, "By the way, do you think we will meet Sister Hongqiao?"

Atletico Madrid was wearing a seatbelt, and when he heard the words, he paused slightly before remembering who she was talking about, and shook his head, "Probably not, all kinds of stars have gathered these days, and she should be squatting on others." ”

The girl was a "philatelic enthusiast", but she was keen to collect photos of herself and celebrities. Because there are enough celebrities in the group photo, she has become an Internet celebrity herself, but she has become the object of celebrities seeking attention for group photos, and the wonder of the world is nothing more than that.
