Chapter 1629
The golden warrior of the reborn demon life
In the face of the high ticket prices that continue to be strong in cinemas across the country, all audiences are bizarrely silent. Originally, they were expecting the movie theater to implement the 20 yuan ticket price Lin Feng said, so they appealed on the Internet, and even did not hesitate to scold the gunmen hired by the movie theater owners on the Internet.
But when the three movies "Dawn of the Living Dead", "Chainsaw" and "Too Bad" were released in major theaters, the 50 yuan or even 80 yuan ticket price appeared in front of the public, but everyone was silent. However, as the audience fell silent, so did this attendance.
According to the statistics of an authoritative media, in the first three days of the three movies "Dawn of the Living Dead", "Chainsaw", and "Too Bad", the national average attendance rate was 15%. A 15% attendance rate, unless the ticket price is sold for more than 200 yuan, is an absolute loss.
Of course, what makes the media strange is not the low and exaggerated attendance of these three films, but why the audience did not thunder. Not to mention the thunderstorm, even if there are some abusive words on the Internet, in short, compared to the heated discussion about 20 yuan a movie ticket a few days ago, it is really silent and scary now.
It's so weird! As a journalist, a keen sense of insight makes them sense a little weird.
Why are the audience so silent? It's because they're waiting for Lin Feng's move.
For these three films, the audience is already familiar with them. Each of these three movies has achieved hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in the United States, which can be said to have made Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" a lot of money. Therefore, many viewers are looking forward to this introduction to China. Especially those men and women who are in love, they are looking forward to it. Horror movies are known to male classmates, and this is the best medium to get closer to the girl you like.
Whether it's the bloody scenes in "Saw Horror" or the suffocating zombie chase in "Dawn of the Living Dead", it's enough to make every delicate girl tremble, and at any moment a scene can make them fly into the arms of the only man they can rely on. You say, with such a hug, everything falls into place. When the time comes, it is natural to hug, touch, and kiss......
Of course, there are also tough sisters who are not afraid of horror movies. But at this time, the girl is not afraid, and the boy is afraid of the general. Anyway, as long as the relationship between the two sides can be further developed, it will be enough. As for whether they will be despised by girls, compared to this kind of girl who can watch horror movies and have no fear, a weaker man can arouse the maternal love in their hearts more.
Therefore, for horror films, male audiences are looking forward to it for a long time. But the 50 yuan, or even higher, fare prevented them from pursuing Aiqing's path, and it stands to reason that they should be outraged. But why weren't they angry? Because they waited for Lin Feng to make a move.
Lin Feng has always been the master who is a man of his word, and it is difficult to chase after the horse.
This time, Lin Feng made a promise to the national audience, but was slapped in the face naked by these movie theater owners, do you think Lin Feng can not be angry! Therefore, these audiences are not angry at all, they are ready to wait to watch a good show! Look at how Lin Feng cleans up these eight lambs who sell a movie ticket so expensive!
Lin Feng, go and teach this group of vampires a hard lesson, we support you! Countless male viewers roared in their hearts.
"Boss, it seems that the whole country audience is waiting to watch the show!" Lin Chiling grinned. The current situation can be said to be beyond her expectations, she didn't expect the national audience to be so cute, so smart, and actually knew to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch Lin Feng punish the owners of these movie theaters.
Lin Feng also smiled. I originally wanted to use the audience's momentum to suppress these movie theater owners, but I never thought that these audiences would directly use their own momentum to wait for the ticket price to drop to 20 yuan a day. Chinese, smart!
But Lin Feng is not stupid!
Immediately, Lin Feng immediately held a press conference, announcing that the price of these three movies is 20 yuan per ticket, and it can be purchased in groups, and if it is a "second shijie" member, you can enjoy a 7.5% discount. And claimed that in the introduction of these three films, the "Second Entertainment" company has reduced the profit sharing, so that all Chinese audiences can enjoy excellent movies in the cinema.
"I implore all cinema owners to understand the truth of small profits and quick turnover. Movie tickets are cheap, and they won't make you lose money, on the contrary, as long as you make sure that the ticket prices are low enough to bring audiences back to the cinema, not only will you not lose money, but you can even make more money than you do now. Lin Feng said very sincerely.
In fact, when Lin Feng said this, he was quite insincere in his heart. Lin Feng really doesn't want these movie theater owners to reduce the price to 20 yuan, so Lin Feng has no reason to buy these movie theaters. If he can't buy most of the movie theaters in the country and control the national film market, it will have an impact on Lin Feng's plans.
As Lin Feng expected, no boss would buy Lin Feng's seemingly sincere request. In their opinion, what Lin Feng said was indeed right. The 20 yuan ticket price can indeed bring the audience back to the cinema, but what if the audience does not come back? After all, piracy is so rampant nowadays, for most people in China, whether they spend 50 yuan to watch a movie or 20 yuan to watch a movie, it is actually the same. Because, it always costs money.
For 20 yuan, you can buy a local chicken to eat. Spending 20 yuan to watch a movie that can obviously be watched on the computer, and spending 20 yuan to buy a local chicken to eat, I am afraid that many Chinese will choose to spend 20 yuan to buy a local chicken to eat. You say, in this case, how dare these movie theater owners cut prices. Now that the price has been reduced, it will not be easy to increase the price in the future. There will be even fewer viewers.
Therefore, for these big bosses, they resolutely disagree with the price reduction. Because, they can't afford to gamble. What's more, I don't want to gamble.
Faced with the choice of "Film Alliance", the audience once again turned their attention to Lin Feng, wanting to see what Lin Feng wanted.
Chased by reporters across the country, Lin Feng shrugged helplessly in front of the camera: Well, now, I can't help it. After all, this cinema is not mine, I only have the right to suggest, not to decide. The ticket price is decided by these movie theater owners, not me. Unless I'm the owner of this movie theater.
As soon as Lin Feng's words were finished, the minds of many reporters immediately became active. What does Lin Feng mean by this? Just saying it casually? Although given Lin Feng's age, it is very likely that he will say it casually. But Lin Feng is not an ordinary young man, not one who has not seen anything in the market and has just graduated from school, but a super strong man who has been working hard in the business world for 5 years (from 1999 to now in 2004, he has grown from a white Ding to the richest man in Shijie).
Maybe Lin Feng is still a little deficient in terms of mind, not calm enough, not sophisticated enough, not low-key enough, not clumsy enough, but Lin Feng's IQ and EQ are definitely not low. When Lin Feng said this, it was by no means untargeted, and it was obviously a deep meaning. So what does Lin Feng mean by hiding? Could it be that Lin Feng wants to buy movie theaters all over the country? As soon as the idea came to mind, all the reporters were shocked.
But while the thought was quite shocking, it wasn't impossible. Considering that Lin Feng and Ellison bought more than half of the movie theaters in the United States, so that they were strong enough to compete with established film companies such as "Sony Columbia" and "Warner Bros." and other companies, it is not impossible for Lin Feng to buy all the film companies in China. Don't forget that now Lin Feng is rich, very rich.
The more than $30 billion won from Little Japan, deducting 10 billion gold reserves and depositing them in the "Second Bank", Lin Feng also has about $30 billion in his hands (including the $9.5 billion in compensation from the US government). At present, there are only about 10,000 movie screens in China, and it will not cost much to acquire them. At least compared to Lin Feng, it's not a big number. Thinking about it this way, Lin Feng really wants to buy movie theaters across the country.
This news was immediately poked out by many reporters.
At the moment, the whole country was in an uproar! No one thought that Lin Feng would actually want to buy movie theaters across the country. That's pretty amazing. Although everyone still doesn't know what Lin Feng wants to do, for many viewers, this is a good thing. If Lin Feng really buys movie theaters across the country, then they will really be able to enjoy the low movie ticket price of 20 yuan. And there are discounts!
Thinking of this, the audience's heart boiled. They began to appeal, began to roar, and strongly asked Lin Feng to buy movie theaters across the country, because they also wanted to enjoy a wonderful audio-visual feast in the movie theater, instead of looking at a small screen in front of the computer, enduring the bad sound, and watching one blockbuster movie after another with grievances. Although it doesn't cost money, it's really unpleasant to watch. Especially blockbusters like "The Lord of the Rings" like "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the cinema and at home are really two completely different concepts.
So, the audience boiled. But for those movie theater owners, it's not so happy.
Quite unpleasant. Although the cinema is not very profitable at the moment, it is the business of the landers, their territory. Now Lin Feng said that he would come in if he wanted to come in, and he didn't take them seriously. Moreover, Lin Feng's offer with the enthusiasm of the audience is really "low enough", which is far from the number in their minds.
But in the face of the strong Lin Feng, the "Film Alliance" began to gather together to discuss countermeasures.
In the face of the strong Lin Feng, if everyone doesn't work together, it will definitely end up collectively. As a result, China's cinema giants gathered at Shanghai Film City.
Shanghai Film City is located at the intersection of Xinhua Road, Panyu Road, Changning District, Shanghai, China. It is one of the practical projects of the Shanghai Municipal Government in 1991, is the first five-star cinema in Shanghai, and created a precedent for multiplex cinemas in China, from 1993 to the present has been continuously rated as a municipal civilized unit, has won the best design award of the top ten new attractions in Shanghai in the nineties of the twentieth century, won the nomination award of Shanghai classic architecture for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, as the main venue of the previous Shanghai International Film Festival, Shanghai Film City is a large-scale cultural enterprise integrating film screening, conference, catering, entertainment, bookstore, and exhibition.
