Chapter 173: The New Year's War Begins
"The competition for the New Year's schedule is really fierce!" Lin Qi looked at the information in his hand and said with a sigh.
Zhao Heri nodded: "The three movies in the first weekend, there will definitely be a reduction in the schedule the next weekend, and who will be reduced, it depends on the results, even Times Entertainment's "Peerless Warriors" may not be able to hold it." ”
Several people all nodded, and no one knew what would happen until the movie was released.
"On the third weekend, our "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was released, and there was another competing film at the same time, which was the film "Flying Lynx" by Pentium Pictures, one of the Big Five."
"The production cost of "Flying Lynx" is 150 million, and it is the year-end masterpiece of Pentium Pictures."
"The main action, the competition with "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" will be fierce, at this time, Times Entertainment's "Peerless Warrior" will not have any impact on us, but "Flying Lynx" will definitely be our fierce rival."
"On the last weekend of November, there were no big five films, and there were two second-tier film companies, one of which was produced and distributed by Echo Productions, which should not be underestimated."
Lin Qi tapped lightly on the table: "Obviously, the five major avoided their respective films, so as not to compete with each other to ensure their own interests. ”
Zhao Heri nodded: "That's true, our Shenma Entertainment is still not in their eyes!" ”
Looking at Zhao Heri's somewhat lonely expression, Lin Qi smiled: "Then let them know this time, we can't be scared without a fight, tell the propaganda department, increase investment in publicity, this time we want to become famous." ”
""Flying Lynx", no matter what movie he is, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" will definitely not lose!"
The New Year's schedule is in full swing, and the major film companies have begun the most direct competition.
On the first weekend of November, the most eye-catching movie is, of course, Times Entertainment's "Peerless Men", with big productions, big scenes, big stars, and box office appeal is visible.
The single-day box office on Friday was 130 million, and the box office received 300 million and 8 million in the first three days of the weekend, with an average daily box office of 100 million.
Several evaluation agencies have given an estimate of the ticket sellers of "The Peerless Warriors", 1.5 billion!
Invest 400 million, if the final box office is only 150 million, the box office of Times Entertainment Huaxia can still achieve some profits, counting the overseas box office, DVD distribution, and network distribution, this is a profitable project.
However, Lin Qi knows that this is definitely not what Times Entertainment wants.
Lin Qi also watched the online reputation of this "Peerless Warrior", which has been declining, and after three days, it has fallen to 7 points, which is not a high score, you must know that the movie has not been lowered yet.
""Peerless Warriors", empty plots, chaotic scenes, car chases, explosions, all the visual stimulation that fills the screen. The originally expected actor and Xiao Xianrou competed with each other's acting skills, but the result was a big disappointment. ”
"The male protagonist of the police, he is procrastinating, not decisive at all, every time something happens, he will only shout, and he does not have the wisdom of a detective at all."
"What are you looking at?" Handing a glass of juice to Lin Qi, Dong Weiwei asked with a smile.
Raising the newspaper in his hand, Lin Qi said with a smile: "Film review, talking about "Peerless Warriors", this movie by Times Entertainment, the reputation doesn't seem to be too high, and the box office seems to have fallen quite badly. ”
"The evaluation agency's forecast has been lowered to 1.2 billion." Dong Weiwei sat next to Lin Qi and said with a smile.
Lin Qi nodded, and the box office results of the other two movies did not explode, which made Lin Qi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Look here!" Dong Weiwei took another newspaper and said with a smile: "They have already started hyping up according to your approach, and it is estimated that the Pentium Pictures side will jump angrily." ”
Lin Qi took the newspaper with a smile, looked at it and said, "It seems to be written pretty well!" ”
"As we all know, the annual New Year and summer holidays are the two most competitive periods in the film market. On the first weekend of November, three films kicked off this year's New Year's Film Market. ”
"The most watched "Peerless Warriors", a movie produced at a large cost by the entertainment of the times, started low in the middle, the box office performance of the whole movie was far lower than expected, and the box office of the other two films was also very average."
"The film market has been in a downturn throughout the first week of the new year."
"The two movies of the second weekend, in the editor's opinion, the possibility of a big hit is not high, and if you want to watch a big hit movie, you have to wait until the third week."
"Let's take a look at the two movies in the third week, the first is naturally "Flying Lynx" by Pentium Pictures, and the second is "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng" produced by Shenma Entertainment."
"Maybe you are not familiar with WhatsMiner Entertainment, so let me introduce it to you."
"The predecessor of WhatsMiner Entertainment is Changsheng Entertainment, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, Changsheng Entertainment is the agency of diva Dong Weiwei."
After Dong Weiwei and Lin Qi took over, Changsheng Entertainment officially changed its name to Shenma Entertainment. I believe everyone will be familiar with the Shenma system, the famous Shenma antivirus, the Shenma game that produced the two games "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds", and a dominant Shenma literature in the field of online literature. ”
"Judging from the layout of the Shenma system, Lin Qi and Dong Weiwei are not small, and obviously in the film and television industry, they will not be petty fights."
At the beginning of the establishment of WhatsMiner Entertainment, Lin Qi split Shenma Entertainment into two parts, one for WhatsMiner Records and one for WhatsMiner Film and Television. Let's take a look at Shenma Records first, I believe everyone is familiar with it. ”
"With a large number of singers such as F4, SHE, Extraordinary Group, Wang Qiang, Dong Weiwei, etc., it is not too much to say that it is the first in the industry."
"As for Shenma Film and Television, in terms of TV series, it has produced "Wulin Gaiden", "The Days I Live with the Flight Attendant", "In the Name of the Mother", as well as the big hit "Meteor Garden" and the later "The Prince Becomes a Frog".
"Looking at this year's TV drama market, Shenma Film and Television can be said to be a dominant company, beating a large number of production companies."
"Finally, back to the movie, Shenma Entertainment is ambitious, and last year's "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" set Lin Qi's status as a director and won a box office of 1.4 billion.
"This year, after the reorganization of WhatsMiner Entertainment and Rihe Productions, the strength has increased greatly, and the distribution channels have also been completed.
"This year's New Year's file is the time for the WhatsMiner Entertainment Film Market."
"If "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" can beat the five major movies, or "Flying Lynx" of Pentium Pictures, Shenma Entertainment will inevitably soar and become the sixth largest."
"Looking at the history of Lin Qi's rise, this possibility is very large, after all, last year's "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" can be said to be the editor's favorite movie."
"In order to achieve this layout, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" must be Lin Qi's intentions, and it will definitely not disappoint everyone."
