Chapter 111: October 7th
Many people don't understand the theatrical schedule, 120,000 screens, 8 percent, how can 10,000 shows be released a day.
Yes, it's statistically true, but if a movie can have 30% of the schedule at the beginning, and then because the box office does not meet the expectations of the theaters, it is cut to only 8%, it means that the film has almost no possibility of turning over - although there are more than 10,000 shows, but they are all early morning or morning shows, and there is almost no audience.
The movies promoted by the theater are all prime movies.
Only movies that really hit the box will be arranged by the theater chain!
Therefore, although many movies are still released in theaters, you can also check the number of movies from the APP, but you can't see the movies when you get to the cinema!
This is the reason why Fang Li knelt down to ask for a golden film for "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".
Guo Xiaosi is desperate, he is familiar with the rules of survival in the business circle, and he understands very well that "Jue Ji" has been abandoned by major theaters!
He was desperate, and even more desperate was Zhang Zhao, the CEO of Lay's Pictures, who was the one who advocated kidnapping Guo Xiaosi to Lay's car, and he also signed and agreed to shoot "Jue Ji".
On September 30th, when "Jue Ji" premiered in Beijing, Zhang Zhao said in front of all the media: "You don't know Guo Xiaosi's appeal, when the first work of the "Little Times" series was released three years ago, the entire Wanda Cinema was crowded by some middle school students and girls, I am very sure that when "Jue Ji" is released this time, these fans can still surprise me!"
"Many people think that our happy cooperation with Guo Xiaosi is a detrimental thing to Chinese films, let me tell you, for movies, the "Little Times" series is an absolute success! Do you know how much money we made through the "Little Times" series? hehe..."
What now?
The slap in the face came too quickly!
"There are too many trolls in Chinese movies now, and many people are desperately trying to get low scores before they are released, I don't understand what these people think, can't they see the bad impact of this?"
"As a director, just take care of your own films, don't always point fingers at other people's works!"
"I still can't understand why some people have such a high level of resentment towards their peers as directors who are also halfway home?"
Seeing that "Jue Ji" was sinking to the bottom, Zhang Zhao couldn't help it anymore, and directly updated three Weibos, pointing the finger at Shen Lin!
There's no way, Lay's Pictures is almost finished this year.
The few movies produced have sold more dismally than the other.
"Twenty-Eight Year Old Minor", "Mr. High Heels", "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk", "Bounty Hunter", "Forty-Eight Hours of Super Brain", five movies, the cumulative box office can reach 600 million, and it should be no problem to protect the capital.
But this is by no means Zhang Zhao's goal, he wants to be the leader!
At the beginning of the year, Lay's Pictures had been trying to go public, 'planning to transfer a controlling stake in Lay's Pictures to Lay's within the next year!'
Zhang Zhao also promised to make some achievements, and then he encountered Waterloo.
The movies released by Lay's Pictures are aimed at moviegoers between the ages of 15 and 24, and I don't know what the problems are, anyway, since the beginning of this year, as long as the movies produced and distributed by Lay's are mediocre!
originally expected "Jue Ji" to make a comeback, but now it seems that it is almost impossible.
The culprit is Shen Lin!
At the beginning, Shen Lin was crazy about "Little Times", although Zhang Zhao was very angry, he could barely maintain his demeanor, without him, "Little Times" still made money.
Now it's different, "Jue Ji" was so troubled by Shen Lin that it became a movie boycotted by the whole people.
The box office of 200 million is definitely out of play, that is to say, Lay's will lose at least 150 million on "Jue Ji"!
150 million is by no means a small amount, although the movies produced by several large private media companies are often hundreds of millions, but the loss of 150 million is definitely something that can be included in the list of movie losses!
Although it won't make the whole Lay's film industry hurt, they are definitely not comfortable!
At the beginning, Huayi lost 100 million yuan in "Tai Chi", and directly drove the project leader Chen Guofu out of Huayi, and now the loss of "Jue Ji" is definitely worse than that of "Tai Chi".
Fortunately, I didn't listen to the opinions of some subordinates at the beginning, and directly produced "Jue Ji 2"!
Compared with Shen Lin's reputation and popularity, Zhang Zhao is definitely not comparable, but he is the CEO of Lay's Pictures, and it is surprising to say such a thing in this capacity.
'The CEO of Lay's Pictures angrily reprimanded Shen Lin, make your own movie, other people's affairs have nothing to do with you!'
Soon, Zhang Zhao's remarks were topped to the top of Weibo's hot search.
Shen Lin's fans were anxious, and they stepped forward to leave a bunch of abusive comments.
Shen Lin found out quickly, mainly because someone in the company notified him and asked for his opinion, after all, Lay's has developed very rapidly in recent years, especially after binding Guo Xiaosi, the speed can be called unparalleled.
"Mr. Shen, this matter, otherwise we still won't respond, the impact will not be good..."
Fang Jianhao meant, after all, the two sides are peers, and they can cooperate as much as possible.
Why?
"Although I am a director, I am also an audience, and I don't understand why I don't have the right to evaluate the movie!
"Guo Xiaosi's damage to Chinese movies is simply indescribable, and I, as a person who loves Chinese movies, can certainly scold him!"
"What do you mean that I have a grudge against my peers, from my debut to the present, how many people have been scolded by my name? If they didn't make bad movies, why should I scold them?"
Shen Lin immediately wrote three short Weibo posts, and Zhang Zhao was scolded on the front.
In terms of strength and background, Shen Lin is not afraid of Zhang Zhao at all, besides, Lay's Video, the parent company of Lay's Pictures, is almost unbearable, and Jia Yueting will soon run away.
Afraid of him?
It is estimated that Zhang Zhao didn't expect Shen Lin to really dare to reply to him, in his impression, Shen Lin was just the director who didn't continue to spray "Little Times" because of his own words.
He had completely forgotten that with the rise of Shen Lin's social status, the goods were now a little inflated...
"Hmph, you'd better pray that you don't make mistakes in your life, or I'll bite you to death!"
Well, there is one more enemy in Linshao!
……
October 7th, the last day of the National Day file.
Every year on October 7th, the box office will be a lot less than before, after all, I have to go to work tomorrow.
This year is no exception, the box office market on October 7 did not reach 200 million, the lowest record since the National Day.
"Love Saint" remained stable, with a box office of 110 million on the 7th, and the cumulative box office successfully exceeded 1.1 billion, becoming the fifth domestic film with a box office of more than one billion this year.
Judging from the market performance, the box office of "Love Saint" has declined steadily, and it is optimistically estimated that the final box office is likely to exceed 2 billion, after all, there are no decent movies on the market in October;
On the 7th day of "Passing by Your World", the box office reported 22 million, and the cumulative box office reached 400 million, which was obviously dragged down by word-of-mouth, and the most optimistic estimate is that the box office of "Passing by Your World" can reach 600 million;
"Jue Ji", the box office on the 7th reported 4 million, with a cumulative box office of 162 million, and the number of films has been as low as 6%...
