Although the way to update the poster is still very primitive, there are even some gambling elements.

But after a few days, many people learned the news, and even in the era when there was no Internet, the speed of word of mouth spread was very terrifying.

And because there is less and less time left, it also makes people have a strong desire to watch the movie, and many people plan to go to the cinema on the weekend to see the movie "Killer Tragedy", which is about to go offline.

So, on Friday nights, when people are done with a hard week, they think of watching movies as the best way to relax.

When they came to the theater full of hope, they were told that the movie tickets for "The Killer's Tragedy" had been sold out that day, and they had to wait until tomorrow to come back.

But this is still the case on Saturdays, and some people arrive at the theater early in the morning and still haven't bought tickets for the day.

There are quite a few scalpers, shuttling through the crowd, selling movie tickets everywhere that should belong to them.

"Dude, do you want a movie ticket for "Killer Tragedy"?"

"What, twenty dollars a piece is still too much?"

"It's been the last two days, and if you buy it tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it for thirty dollars!"

"Come on, man, you don't know that I stood outside the ticket window all night last night in order to buy these movie tickets!"

"It's really cheap, I'm making hard-earned money!"

......

Seeing that there is not much time left, many people have bought scalper tickets at a high price, but even scalper tickets are very limited, after all, the theater is so big, how many people can it hold?

Some remote places are fine, although there are many people who are dissatisfied, at least most of them have bought tickets.

However, in front of the cinemas in some major business districts, before Saturday afternoon, many people who had not bought movie tickets quickly gathered.

Even if the manager wore out his mouth, he couldn't persuade these people who were unwilling to leave the theater to quit, only a small number of people chose to go to other movies, or wanted to try their luck elsewhere, but more of them were angry and scolded by the audience.

Many people raised their arms and shouted loudly at the anxious manager: "We want to watch "Killer Tragedy"!"

There are also frequent moviegoers who raise their doubts, "Why sell tickets to scalpers? and let us buy high-priced movie tickets, there must be something shady in this!"

But soon, someone retorted: "Dude, I'm lucky to be able to buy high-priced tickets now, haven't you noticed that we can't even buy high-priced tickets now?"

Then, everyone raised their own questions, "What is the reason why a movie that has just been released for a month and a half is taken offline in advance?"

Soon, under the reminder of someone with a heart, everyone knew the truth of the matter, "Damn!"

"Just because this is not a big film company's movie, when the new film was released, "Killer Tragedy" was rushed off the production line?"

"They're just so shameless!"

"I'm going to protest! It's not fair!"

"I don't want to watch "Dances with Wolves", and I don't want to watch "Die Hard", I want to watch "Killer Tragedy"!"

The manager had no choice but to call 911 and ask the police to help maintain order.

At the same time, he also sent someone to tear down the posters on the wall and report the situation here to the above.

Such a chaotic scene happened in front of almost every theater where "The Killer's Tragedy" was released, and soon a media reporter rushed to the scene to report on the incident.

Unlike those angry viewers, the reporters quickly cleared their minds and pointed the finger at the owners of the theater chain and the big names behind them.

In their factual report, they also added their own opinions and speculations, "In fact, this kind of thing has happened many times, but it is not as outrageous as this time, and it has not aroused public anger." ”

So no one has paid attention to the domineering of big studios, and no one has thought that there is such a shady scene between the studio and the theater chain. ”

"This kind of practice is the most barbaric and crude monopolistic behavior! I don't know if it will attract the attention of the relevant departments!"

"The attitude of the audience says it all, they just want to watch a movie they like, but they can't meet even the simplest of demands, shouldn't they be angry?"

There are also some smart reporters who rushed to Hurricane Pictures as soon as possible, wanting to interview the employees of Hurricane Pictures who were treated unfairly, as well as the chairman Tang Feng.

Unlike the fierce reactions of the employees, Tang Feng did not seem so impulsive, but calmly said to the camera: "Last weekend, we received a notice from the theater telling us that there was only one week left for "Killer Tragedy". ”

"When I heard this unbelievable news, I was full of frustration and unwillingness, is this the only fate that a small company has?"

"But in the next few days, I gradually thought about it, the reality is like this, what else can we do but accept?"

"I don't want to make some overly heated words, I just want to say that even so, we will not give up on our ideals. ”

"Here, I would like to thank the audience who loved "Killer Tragedy", it is your love and support that gives us infinite strength and courage. ”

"Please rest assured, our new movie "Little Sunshine Beauty" is about to start filming, and I believe it won't be long before everyone will see this movie. ”

"Well, it's a comedy movie for the whole family, and you can bring your kids and your loved ones, and the whole family to the theater to watch this wonderful story. ”

As soon as the report on TV was broadcast, Tang Feng, who had been treated unfairly, was supported by countless people.

In follow-up interviews, many people said that when the new movie is released, they will definitely bring the whole family to support him.

After a day of hustle and bustle, early on Sunday morning, several small theaters changed their original screening plans because they couldn't bear the excessive pressure.

said that he would not take "Killer Tragedy" offline in advance, and that he would continue to screen this movie for a period of time in the future.

However, the attitude of the three major theater chains is still very tough, and they have neither adjusted the screening plan nor made any response.

......

Through this crisis, Tang Feng's name is really widely known, and now even people who don't usually watch movies know his name.

And the box office of "Killer Tragedy" has also ushered in a new round of peaks in turmoil.

On Friday, due to the popularity of several evening shows, it made more than $5 million at the box office.

Then, in one day on Saturday, almost all of the theaters reached more than 90% occupancy, and more than a dozen theaters reached an astonishing 100% occupancy!

Such a hot scene could only be reached to this level when Lucas's "Star Wars" was released before.

On this day, whether in the movie or in reality, "The Killer's Tragedy", which has a strong tragic color, won a super high box office of 7.2 million!

Even the managers of several theater chains have adjusted the follow-up screening plans, but they have not reduced the enthusiasm of the audience.

On Sunday, "Killer Tragedy" achieved more than $6 million at the box office, far behind "Die Hard 2" and "Dances with Wolves"!

With the efforts of Hurricane Pictures and Miramax, "Killer Tragza" successfully counterattacked.

not only changed his fate, but also achieved a box office of more than 35 million US dollars, once again sitting as the single-week box office champion.

The total box office also exceeded 160 million US dollars, surpassing Paramount's "Ghost Love" and becoming the North American box office champion of the year so far!

And this is not the end, although the three major theaters are indifferent, several small theaters will continue to release this movie, and its final box office has begun to become the expectation of many people.

Discussions about the monopoly of giant studios, the arrogance of the three major cinema chains, and the way out for independent film companies continue to heat up.

Tang Feng didn't want to be involved, although he was the main and the most visible victim now, but he only appeared in front of the media in a hurry, and never appeared again.

He was already on a Sunday evening, on a plane to New York, away from the center of the maelstrom......

Except because of the agreement with Harvey in advance, Tang Feng did not think that such an argument would have any result.

Therefore, he doesn't want to make too high-profile frequent appearances, which will not do him any good.

He felt that it was a wise choice to keep a low profile at the right time.
