Chapter 405: Piercing

On January 3, the box office of the week was released. "Kung Fu" continued to be popular, achieving a box office of 51 million, with a total www.biquge.info of 114 million, "Aviator" ranked second with 18 million, with a total of 97 million, and "No Thieves in the World" ranked third with 11 million, with a total of 133 million.

The strength of "Kung Fu" is expected, "The Aviator" has a steady performance, and breaking 100 million is just around the corner, and the most surprising thing is the performance of "No Thieves in the World", the proportion of films is not high, but it has achieved a box office of 11 million, which is a big surprise.

On January 10th, another week's box office was released, this week "Kung Fu" won three consecutive championships with 33 million, with a cumulative box office of 147 million, "Aviator" was very stable, with a box office of 12 million, with a total of 109 million, and "No Thieves in the World" achieved a box office of 10 million, with a total of 143 million, and the stamina can be described as terrifying.

In the office of the pinnacle of the century, Zhang Ran looked at the data in his hand and showed a satisfied smile: "The decline of "Aviator" is well controlled, and you can expect a long term!"

Wu Ruide said: ""Aviator" played very well in second- and third-tier cities, if we hadn't grasped this piece, we would definitely have failed this time!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Now we are still dangerous, the gap between us and "Kung Fu" after this week is probably 50 million, and it is almost impossible to reverse, even if our bomb can explode, it is only one more possibility." Not to mention this, how is the matter of stealing the box office arranged?"

"It's arranged!" Wu Ruide looked at Zhang Ran and asked solemnly, "Are you sure you want to get this out of the way?"

Zhang Ran nodded firmly: "But it's good for Chinese films, let's do it!"

On January 7th, someone uploaded a video to LeTV, and then it was uploaded to the website of the peak of the century. The title of the video is ""No Thieves in the World" Stole the Box Office of "Kung Fu", and the filming date was on the afternoon of January 4 in a movie theater at the Pacific Cinema in Shijiazhuang.

In the video, a man with glasses hands the money to the conductor: "I want a movie ticket for Kung Fu." ”

The ticket seller quickly handed out the movie ticket: "This is your ticket!"

The boy took the ticket, glanced at it, and pointed the ticket in his hand to the conductor: "I want to watch "Kung Fu", why did you give me a ticket for "No Thieves in the World", did you make a mistake?"

The box office replied: "Although it is written on the ticket "There Are No Thieves in the World", you can watch "Kung Fu", it is the same!"

The boy said: "I bought a ticket for "Kung Fu", and you gave me a ticket for "No Thieves in the World", so is the box office counted in "No Thieves in the World"?"

The conductor said, "Aren't you watching a movie, just watch it." What does the box office have to do with you?"

The boy was very serious: "I'm a fan of Xing Ye, my money can be earned by Xing Ye, but I don't want Feng Xiaogang to make it!"

At the boy's insistence, the conductor reluctantly changed him for a ticket for "Kung Fu".

The video didn't attract much attention after it was posted, and the click-through rate was pitiful. But on the 10th, the long-standing sailor army began to act and forwarded the video to Stephen Chow's post bar and various movie forums. Immediately afterwards, they began to forward popular science articles, what is stealing the box office, how to operate it, and so on.

The video is coupled with popular science, coupled with the promotion of the water army, which immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and many netizens were surprised that the box office could also be stolen? Stephen Chow's fans were even more furious.

"I'll fuck your uncle, garbage Huayi, garbage Feng Xiaogang! Even Xing Ye's box office is stolen, Lao Tzu will never watch your movies again, go die!"

"So that's the case, I said that "Kung Fu" is obviously much more popular than "No Thieves in the World", but the total box office is not much higher, it turned out to be stolen by "No Thieves in the World"!"

"It's true, and I was in the same situation when I went to the movies yesterday. I thought it was strange at first, it turned out to be like this after a long time, it was so shameless!"

Of course, Feng Xiaogang's king of the Chinese New Year stalls for a few years is not for nothing, there are many fans, and the starring Andy Lau, Ge You, and Liu Ruoying have a lot of fans. said that "There Are No Thieves in the World" stole the box office, but they quit and refuted it one after another.

"Feng Xiaogang, Andy Lau, and Ge You are all box office superstars, and they need to steal the box office? It's ridiculous! I think "Kung Fu" wants to use "No Thieves in the World" to hype!"

"When buying a movie ticket, doesn't the person who bought the ticket report the time of the show and doesn't choose a seat? This video is fake at first glance!"

Now that "Kung Fu" has been in theaters for three weeks, the heat has passed, and there have been no strong new films released recently. The media has nothing to report, and the reporters are worried about what to write, when they suddenly hear the news that "There Are No Thieves in the World" has stolen the box office of "Kung Fu", and the reporters suddenly became excited.

"No Thieves in the World" stole the box office of "Kung Fu", this is the rhythm of the headlines!

The next day, the front pages of major websites were full of reports about "No Thieves in the World" stealing the box office of "Kung Fu".

The entire film industry was shocked by this media report, and everyone was paying attention to the movement of this matter.

As long as the movie has been released, who has not been stolen at the box office? As for the cancer of stealing the box office, the film companies, directors, and producers hate it to the core, but no one dares to poke it out. Because there are still movies to be released in the future, what if the theater is offended, what if the movie is not scheduled when the movie is released in the future?

Now that this matter has finally been poked out, countless filmmakers are secretly applauding, there are really people who are not afraid of death, and at the same time they mourn for this hero, once this matter is poked, it is equivalent to cutting off an important income of the theater chain, and the theater chain will not let him go!

In Huayi's conference room, the company's senior executives gathered together and watched the video of "stealing the box office" with a solemn expression.

"It was taken by a professional. Feng Xiaogang said, "Although it is a handheld camera, the lens is very stable, and amateurs can't do this." This thing is aimed at us, a conspiracy against "No Thieves in the World", just to make us stink!"

"Who do you think did it?" Wang Zhonglei was as gloomy as water.

"I don't know, it may be Colombia, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" we cheated them for more than 10 million, and now they are at their box office, they have a reason to do this. Feng Xiaogang frowned and said, ""The Aviator" is also possible, in addition, Bona, New Pictures, and other film companies are also possible. ”

"In the past few years, Huayi has offended a lot of people, and anyone can do it. Dare to make a black hand to us Hua Yi, I will never spare him!" Wang Zhonglei said coldly.

"What do we do now?"

"I'll send a statement to clarify this matter, second brother, hurry up and find out who did it!"

In the evening, "Xinjing Daily" published an interview with Wang Zhonglei. In the interview, Wang Zhonglei clarified the stealing of the box office: ""No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu" are both Huayi's own films, "Kung Fu" is still the only investment company in the mainland, but there are other investors in "No Thieves in the World", how can they steal their own? Again, how to solve the technology of stealing the box office? No one can control more than 30 cinema lines across the country, and it is not technically feasible. This kind of remark is not only unfair to the theater chain, but also causes great harm to the filmmaker and director. This statement is very misleading about the industry, and we reserve the right to pursue legal action. ”

Feng Xiaogang also clarified through the media: "Saying that "No Thieves in the World" stole the box office of "Kung Fu", this dirty water splash is really not technical. First, these two films are both released by Huayi, why do you steal them and make this mess by yourself? Second, only movie theaters have the ability to steal the box office, and the director and producer have nowhere to start stealing it, and this splashing of dirty water is too insincere, so change a basin and re-splash it!"

Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang's words sound very reasonable, but in fact, anyone who knows a little about film distribution knows that it is completely fallacious and not worth refuting.

Soon someone stood up, the well-known film critic Song Zhiwen, this time he participated in the release of "Kung Fu". He refuted the words of Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang in his blog: "I have been to many theaters these days and found that "Kung Fu" was stolen very badly by "No Thieves in the World". I tried to look into this matter, but someone threatened me to shut up, saying that this is not your business, and you can't do it!

Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei said that "No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu" are both Huayi's films, and it is impossible to steal themselves. This will deceive the layman. Although "Kung Fu" and "No Thieves in the World" are both distributed by Huayi, "Kung Fu" is the main investment film of Colombia, and Huayi has very few shares and can only take a small head, while "No Thieves in the World" is mainly invested by Huayi. For example, if the profit of both movies is 100, Hua Yi in "Kung Fu" can only score 10, while Hua Yi in "No Thieves in the World" can score 90. By transferring the box office of "Kung Fu" to "No Thieves in the World", Hua Yi can score an extra 80! We have already reported this matter to the Film Bureau, hoping that the incident will be thoroughly investigated. ”

Song Zhiwen is a person from "Kung Fu", and in the eyes of many people, his words represent Colombia's attitude.

It seems that Colombia should be the one who stole the box office!

It is worthy of an American company, it is bullish!

In the office of the peak of the century, Wu Ruide laughed and said: "I didn't expect the people from Colombia to jump out, they are bitter masters, as soon as they come out, we can get out safely!"

Zhang Ran smiled and didn't speak, if he hadn't sent an email to Song Zhiwen, Song Zhiwen probably wouldn't have come out. He remembered that Feng Xiaogang and Song Zhiwen had a verbal fight over stealing the box office of "Kung Fu" in "No Thieves in the World", but that was six years later, when Zhao Gu stole the box office. With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhang Ran sent an email to Song Zhiwen, but he didn't expect him to really stand up!

As soon as Song Zhiwen came out, the form of public opinion took a sharp turn and became very unfavorable to Huayi. Film distribution is an important part of Huayi's income, and now there is a scandal of stealing the box office, who will dare to hand over the film to Huayi for distribution in the future?

Hua Yi was a little anxious, on the one hand, he sent a navy to launder on the Internet, and pushed the responsibility of stealing the box office to the movie theater. "Hua Yi is not the father of the movie theater, is it necessary for the movie theater to help Hua Yi steal the box office?", "It is the movie theater that is stealing the box office, and Hua Yi is also a victim!" On the other hand, the media that Hua Yi has bought are publishing all kinds of gunman articles to whitewash Hua Yi.

"Xinjing Daily" dialed the phone of the manager of the Pacific Cinema in Shijiazhuang, where the video occurred, and the manager Zuo of the cinema said on the phone: "There are two new cinemas in the theater that are being renovated, and the conductor is not enough, and the new conductor on duty is not familiar with the whole process, so he did not print out the ticket for "Kung Fu" twice, and finally had to let the audience enter with the ticket of "No Thieves in the World". I also received a notice from the theater in the morning to find out about this matter, and our theater has dealt with it in time, and the new conductor has been transferred from his post and replaced with a more familiar conductor. At the end of the interview, Manager Zuo said that there would be no similar situation in the future.

After this report came out, Huayi's water army frantically forwarded it on the Internet, wanting to prove Huayi's innocence. But netizens don't buy it at all, temporary workers? You liared to the ghost! If you want to make up a good reason, are you an idiot? )
