Lu Chen still clearly remembers Chen Wenqiang's evaluation of Zhou Yi at the beginning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Yi is a real businessman.

A real businessman knows how to judge the situation the most, and when he is faced with a choice, he will always choose the one that is most beneficial to him, and if he needs to put down his face, he will never hold on to the shelf.

A true businessman cannot be a true friend.

Lu Chen will not treat Zhou Yi as a friend, and it will be no problem as a business partner, so after the two sides reached a consensus on mutual understanding, he got to the point.

"The schedule of our new film is too low, and I hope Boss Zhou will put more effort into this regard. ”

"A Chinese Ghost Story" was released on the first day of less than 20% of the films, which was not too bad, and it did not meet Lu Chen's expectations, and communicating with Hong Kong theaters and theaters was the task of Jiayang Pictures.

Lu Chen's studio has just gained a foothold in Xiangjiang, and all aspects of channels need to be expanded, and there is a lack of contacts and resources in the circle, so partners like Jiayang Pictures are indispensable.

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Lu Shao rest assured, we have this achievement, I believe that no theater can ignore it, I have sent someone to negotiate with Wanli and Deqing, I believe that it is no problem to increase the number of films." ”

Wanli and Deqing are the two major cinema chains in Xiangjiang, and the two sides jointly own more than 60% of the cinemas in Xiangjiang, and play a pivotal role in the Xiangjiang film industry.

The famous Oriental Hollywood Theater is the grand theater of Wanli Cinema Line.

Zhou Yi said confidently: "Our current film schedule is not high, mainly because "Painted Skin" has squeezed the share of the box office, but Huaguan and Xingyi can buy a week's box office, and he can't buy a month!"

Buying the box office is an unspoken rule in the circle, and the rich and powerful lord often plays, but there is definitely a limit.

The film market in Xiangjiang is small, and a few million dollars can occupy a considerable share of the film schedule, but unless it is capricious to the extreme, no one will desperately throw money into the water.

In order to support the field of "Painted Skin", Huaguan and Xingyi bought the box office for four consecutive days, and in Zhou Yi's opinion, they are basically close to the limit.

On the other hand, if this kind of cheating exceeds the limit, it will also attract public outrage in the industry.

If you go too far, no one will want to play.

Therefore, Zhou Yi is very sure that the high box office of "Painted Skin" will not last long, once the original form is revealed, then it will be the day when "A Chinese Ghost Story" will make a strong counterattack.

The theater chain is not a fool, they know better what is greasy, so it is reasonable to increase the schedule of "A Chinese Ghost Story" one step ahead.

The most important thing is that the surprising peripheral sales of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are undoubtedly equivalent to stimulants, which is enough to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the theater chain and make them make wise choices.

The actual situation is not unexpected, on February 22, the number of films scheduled for "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Hong Kong increased to 22.67%, and many screenings were temporarily increased today, and the box office exceeded the 4 million mark.

Its peripheral products continued to rise at the box office amid the exclamations in the circle, reaching 3.58 million!

At the same time, "Painted Skin", which had been held out for a few days, finally showed its real decline, and the box office on the 22nd only received 3.1 million, completely behind "A Chinese Ghost Story".

This is somewhat unexpected by people in the industry, everyone originally thought that "Painted Skin" would continue to buy the box office for a few days in order to suppress "A Chinese Ghost Story", but they didn't expect to admit defeat so soon.

Then inside information came out, saying that it was because the real box office results were too bad, Huaguan Pictures and Xingyi Entertainment had serious disagreements and contradictions, not to mention continuing to buy the box office, even publicity was also facing problems.

In just two days, "A Chinese Ghost Story" completed a beautiful counterattack and showed a momentum of take-off!

On the Internet, a large number of netizen comments on "A Chinese Ghost Story" have emerged, including articles by many film critics, and Wang Dong is among them.

As an independent film critic, Wang Dong has a habit of writing film reviews, that is, he will not publish his own film reviews before the official release of the film, even if he has seen the premiere in advance.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is no exception.

Wang Dong wrote a film review article after being invited to the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story," but he didn't publish it on his blog until two days after the film's official release.

"When I first watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", I thought it was a fantasy and ghost film similar to "Painted Skin", and I laughed at the current filmmakers for not having a creative idea, turning the story in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" over and over again, adding some celebrity faces and special effects to the table to fool the audience, which is really boring. ”

However, after watching the film, I realized that although they are also based on "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Skin" are completely different works, and the two cannot be compared at all. ”

""A Chinese Ghost Story" surpasses "Painted Skin" too much!"

A coarse cloth green coat, a tattered hat, and a pair of torn cloth shoes are the images that Ning Caichen, the protagonist of the play, brings to everyone. The world is full of troubles, and he has no youthful talent, but he has no place to use it, so that he is ridiculed by the peddler who sells paintings as 'high taste, low status'. ”

But even so, he didn't lose the cuteness in his bones. He is naïve and pedantic, but he is also affectionate and optimistic, and he has repeatedly hit a wall at the wrong time, but he has not been depressed. ”

"And Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost who died in a foreign land, a female ghost living in a barren mountain, specializing in sucking the essence of young men. But this is not out of her intention, every time she hurts passers-by, her heart will be tormented by endless self-blame and grief, she is beautiful, kind, although forced by the obscenity of the tree spirit grandmother, although all the demons around her are murderous, but she is still lonely and sticks to her inner conscience, unique in that dirty and dark world. ”

"The encounter between the hero and heroine is an accident, but also a fateful fate, a poignant love connects the whole movie, even if the ending is not perfect, it is still touching!"

"The plot of the whole film is tight, the story is gripping, and the soundtrack theme song is first-class..."

"There is another impressive character in the play, that is, Yan Chixia, a little crazy and a little drunk, full of pride and demons, laughing and scolding almost witty, let us see the profound skills of an old drama bone!"

"I dare to assert that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will definitely become a classic in ghost films..."

Wang Dong wrote more than 2,000 words in this long blog post of film review, which is the longest film review he has ever written, and it can be said that it has received rave reviews, and the whole article is full of praise, which makes people wonder if he has taken any benefits from the filmmaker.

However, anyone who has watched "A Chinese Ghost Story" will not have such doubts!
