Chapter 515: The Great Scuffle
As soon as the money arrived, Cai Zilong donated it in his personal honor.
Then, upload the donation record to Weibo.
At the end, he added a sentence later: "I borrowed 200,000 yuan, make up a whole number." The New Year's Day is directly a loser. ”
That's a harsh thing to say.
During the Chinese New Year, borrowing money to gamble on this breath is how aggrieved and angry it is.
The image of a proper honest man who was forced to be anxious.
Magic City, a hotel room.
Liang Gang was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
"This bastard, it's ruthless enough!"
"Director Liang, netizens on the Internet, are waiting for us to respond. The assistant reminded in a low voice: "If you don't respond, I'm afraid that the negative impact will become more and more serious......"
"Can't disturb the line of sight?" Liang Gang didn't want to respond.
The assistant shook his head: "There are too many netizens talking about it, and I can't stop it at all." We can buy one media outlet, we can buy ten media outlets, but we can't make all the media not report on it. As for forums, post bars, Weibo or something, even if you invite all the trolls out, there is no way to change the topic. Not to mention, during the Chinese New Year, many sailors are on holiday......"
Liang Gang's head is as big as an ox.
After two months, I didn't expect to be stabbed by someone on the last day.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have been a 'Legendary School Graduate'. Who knew that bastard was so ruthless, a newcomer...... Dare to do it against me, don't be caught by me in the future, or you will be killed. ”
Liang Gang scolded and had a splitting headache.
The assistant was speechless, I knew earlier?
How cool it was at that time!
Stepping on the fame of 'Legendary School Graduate' jumps up, not only stepping on it, but also saving tens of millions of publicity costs. Now I want to regret when I step on the trouble, how can there be such a cheap thing.
Having said that, that Cai Zilong is also ruthless enough. If you don't make a move, it's just a fatal blow.
Netizens can't see it, but some insiders who are used to hype can see that Cai Zilong is definitely not as honest as rumored on the Internet. Otherwise, how could a small-scale film shot by a rookie director be hyped by him to be more popular than a blockbuster, and how could he splash his own sewage to hype.
has not come forward to refute it, and has endured for two months, just to continue to let the 'legendary school graduates' always appear in the public eye and reduce the cost of publicity.
And the counterattack the day before the release was simply a stroke of genius. fought sympathy again, and gave Liang Gang a hard stab.
Look at the directors of several other blockbusters, they just stopped and didn't accept any interviews. lest Cai Zilong turn the knife edge and give them a knife.
"Send me a Weibo and say that if his total box office can surpass me, I will quit the entertainment industry. Liang Gang gritted his teeth, and he finally let go.
If he doesn't give any response, his reputation will stink, and it will be difficult to mix in the entertainment industry in the future. Even if you continue to mix cheekily, it will only get worse and worse.
So, it's better to fight.
Moreover, he is also convinced that the box office of 'Legendary School Graduate' will not be able to surpass his 'Iron Mask'.
In fact, he said that the box office of 'Legendary School Graduate' could not exceed 200 million, not even a tenth of his, and it was not nonsense.
He watched the small videos posted by the crew on Weibo, which were really good, and even made him feel amazing.
But the box office of a movie is composed of many factors.
In terms of quality, it's hard to say, those small clips are good, but whether a movie is good or not, and the overall effect is the key.
In terms of publicity, although the 'Legendary School Graduate' has been hyped to the extent that everyone knows it, there is mostly negative news. However, Cai Zilong's counterattack today can be called a stroke of genius, but it brought back the disadvantage.
In this regard, the advantages of the 'Legendary School Graduates' are enormous.
Immediately after the quality and publicity, there is the film arrangement.
The screening rate of 'Legendary School Graduates' is only 2%.
This is an Achilles' heel for any film.
How do you get up with a 2% film scheduling rate?
His 'Iron Mask Warrior' has 20% of the film.
The difference between the two sides is tenfold.
This means that even if the quality is comparable, the box office of his movies is ten times that of Cai Zilong. Not to mention, he doesn't believe that Cai Zilong's movies can be compared to his movies.
Of course, if the attendance rate is high enough, the scheduling rate will still increase. But the problem is that the reason why the scheduling rate of 'Legendary School Graduates' is as low as 2% is not because all the theaters are not optimistic about the box office of this movie, but because he and other directors and distribution companies rely on their own connections and influence.
Unless the box office of 'Legendary School Graduates' is against the sky, and the benefits brought to major theaters can exceed their influence, it is impossible for the film scheduling rate to go up.
Then there is the schedule, the Spring Festival file is naturally not bad, second only to the summer file, and it is also one of the time periods when blockbusters are gathered.
Then it's time, and it's time to schedule films. How can the time period of 10 o'clock in the morning compete with the time period of 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening? How can the time period of 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening be compared with the time period of 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening?
They are all old rivers and lakes, and since everyone has joined forces to suppress the 'Legendary School Graduates', it is naturally indispensable to get stuck in this regard.
The scheduling rate of 'Legendary School Graduates' is low enough, this is not enough, most of the theaters arrange 'Legendary School Graduates' in the morning.
The three percent film scheduling rate, if you really calculate, may have to be cut in half.
Further on, there is the general environment, the popularity of the movie genre in this period, whether the opponent is strong or weak in the same period, and so on. Even the weather has an impact.
If it is a few days before the release, most cities across the country are in rainy weather, which will not only affect the box office in these days, but also have a certain impact on the later stage. After all, if you want to watch this movie today, if you don't see it, you may not be willing to watch it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It is not uncommon for the will to be strong enough and to give up.
Of course, these factors are still a lot worse than the influence of the previous factors.
Integrating all the factors, if it were before today, Liang Gang could be sure that the 'Legendary School Graduate' would never exceed 100 million box office unless it was a masterpiece. There is no way, Cai Zilong, a rookie director, is too ostentatious, causing others to spend money on propaganda but it has no effect, which makes the public angry. All kinds of means come out, even if the quality of the 'legendary school graduates' is excellent and belongs to the dark horse level, don't think about breaking 100 million at the box office, at most you will have a reputation of winning word of mouth and losing the box office.
This morning, he made a Jedi counterattack, and Liang Gang estimated that even if the quality of the 'Legendary School Graduate' was ordinary, the box office should be able to break 100 million. If there is dark horse potential, it will not be able to exceed 200 million, or even 300 million.
After all, the theater is not run by these people. If the reputation is really good, some theaters can't help but add more films to the 'legendary school graduates'.
To sum up, as long as the 'Legendary School Graduate' is not a god film, it will be a box office of two or three hundred million. If you want to surpass his box office, the possibility is slim.
But negligible does not mean that it is completely impossible, and the reason why Liang Gang has not responded is because he is afraid that this is a very small possibility.
He is a dignified director, and he bets with a rookie director to quit the entertainment industry, no matter what others think, he feels that he has lost a lot of money.
The assistant hesitated, but couldn't help but remind: "Cai Zilong also donated 50 million ......"
Liang Gang wanted to vomit blood.
Fifty million is not a small amount.
He can get it, but his money is not blown by the wind. It's not cost-effective to donate it in a daze.
Moreover, Liang Gang is sure that even if he donates 50 million, netizens will not praise him for anything, but some people have to say that he is too stingy. After all, Cai Zilong kept saying that he borrowed 200,000 yuan and donated 50 million together.
This is smashing pots and selling iron, and donating all the belongings.
If some netizens think about it with another way of thinking, it means that only if he donates all his belongings is equal.
Moreover, even if he donates all his belongings, he may not be able to get too many benefits. Because Cai Zilong took the lead, he donated the money before he could fight.
If he donates all his belongings, it is just a battle, and he does not have Cai Zilong's broken atmosphere at all.
Cai Zilong's counterattack is perfect.
"Donate, I'll donate too!"
Gritting his teeth, Liang Gang also let go: "I will also donate 50 million, and I will send you the donation record later." ”
The assistant nodded.
"What are you doing here? Go tweet and wait for me to invite you to dinner?" Liang Gang roared.
Fifty million!
It's distressing just to think about it.
The assistant nodded hurriedly and left quickly.
Half an hour later, Liang Gang's Weibo account released a message that he would officially respond to the battle and would also donate 50 million.
There was an uproar on the Internet.
The melon-eating masses were completely excited.
They are the directors of several other blockbusters, hoping to make this more lively.
It's a pity that those big directors are all silent.
Cai Zilong was looking for Liang Gang, and they weren't stupid enough to jump in.
Rao is so, and the Internet is now full of news about the two bets. Even the Spring Festival Gala in the evening, not many netizens cared.
This made the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala very depressed.
Last year, Mr. Li tossed out a serial, and directly covered the second half of the year, and the entire entertainment industry died down.
That's it.
Teacher Li wants to promote his new school, and he has to hold back his opinions. Although the Spring Festival Gala was coaxing, they didn't dare to jump out to find trouble.
Unexpectedly, this year, a rookie director came out to swipe the screen, and the hype actually created an alternative popular show. Then it led to all the blockbusters to encircle and suppress with all their might, and encircled a Jedi counterattack on the last day.
There's no way to live.
Although the Spring Festival Gala is coaxing, it is impossible to do all the directors.
Thinking about how beautiful it was in previous years, and thinking about the past two years, he felt extremely wronged.
Throughout the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Internet was very lively. Even Li Feng also brushed up on a wave of news every once in a while, following the trend to join in the fun.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one mentioned the Spring Festival Gala on the Internet, Weibo, forums, and post bars, almost all of them were discussions about the box office of the zero point field.
There are three films in the zero point field, all of which are blockbusters.
Without this hype, no one can predict which of the three blockbusters will be better or worse. After all, they are all directed by big directors, and there are also big-name stars participating, so it is not surprising that anyone is ahead.
Because of this hype and betting, Liang Gang's 'Iron Mask Armor' won the highest box office without any suspense, reaching more than 5.7 million at zero point. In second place, there are only about 2 million, and the third is only about 1.5 million.
New Year's Day, National Day, summer files, etc., it is not difficult to win millions of box office in a zero-point field, and the high one can even break 10 million. But the New Year file is different, Chinese New Year's Eve, not many people will run to the movies.
Normally, a box office of 1.5 million is enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes.
But this time, the box office of 1.5 million can only be relegated to third. First place, reaching more than 5.7 million.
It can be seen from this that this gamble on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve has caused a great sensation.
And, that's just the beginning.
There are actually pros and cons to the zero point field, especially if there are strong competitors.
Because, you have to guard against the opponent and ask the water army to brush up on bad reviews in the middle of the night.
If that's the case, it's not worth it at the box office for this point.
This is also one of the reasons why the Spring Festival Gala is over, but no one talks about it on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It's a mess on the Internet.
Three blockbusters, all of which are black and stepped on. Cai Zilong must be involved, and the distributors of the three blockbusters are definitely involved, and even those films that are called cannon fodder may be indispensable in them.
The whole network, the brawl became one.
There's no need to find out who is hacking yourself, all films only have two routines, one routine is to desperately ask the water army to praise his own films, and brush up on high ratings. Another routine is to ask the water army to desperately step on other films and brush up on low ratings.
Wait until the second day of the new year, and the box office on the first day is officially released.
has 23% of the films, and the "Iron Mask Warrior" that makes netizens extremely curious is outstanding, winning 350 million at the box office.
According to this posture, it is very likely to run for the box office of three billion online.
There is no suspense in the second and third places, which are dominated by two other blockbusters, and the box office has also reached 230 million and 210 million.
In fourth place, there is actually no suspense. It is not the 'Future Police Department' with a film scheduling rate of 5 percent, but the 'Legendary School Graduates' with a film scheduling rate of only 2 percent, and the box office has reached more than 28 million.
It seems that the proportion is not as good as that of the "Iron Mask Warrior" with 23% of the films, but in fact, the "Legendary School Graduate" has set an astonishing record of 95% attendance.
The reason is that one of the two is a 3D movie and the other is a 2D movie, and the ticket price is different.
The next day, the box office statistics for the second year of junior high school came out.
is still the "Iron Mask Warrior" who dominates, but although the film schedule has increased a little, the box office has dropped to about 280 million. The second and third places also dropped to 210 million and 170 million respectively.
The schedule of 'Graduates of the Legendary School' has not changed, the attendance rate is still as high as more than 90 percent, and the box office has reached more than 26 million.
In total, the decline of 'Legendary School graduates' is the lowest, but the main reason is that its film schedule is too low. And it's only been two days in total, and because of the bet, the box office trend is not obvious, and no one is sure what the final result will be.
Those netizens who want to decide what movie to watch from the rating and word of mouth are all confused this time.
Under the big melee, not only the three blockbusters and the 'Legendary School Graduates', but even those movies that are about to become cannon fodder are all discredited, and it is impossible to distinguish which ones are brushed, which ones are black, and which ones are real feelings.
The previous film selection routine did not work at all in this Spring Festival.
