Chapter 137: Why Me

July and August are considered the summer vacation schedule, which belongs to the peak season of the entire film industry.

For this reason, Meng Chao's Genesis Film Company's "True Colors of Heroes" has also absorbed a lot of box office during this time, and by August 5, the box office has reached 230 million!

and another "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", which was released a month ago, also reached more than 680,000 at the box office.

Although it is not as good as "The True Color of Heroes", which has accumulated 100 million box office in a month, as a sequel movie, "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" has surpassed its predecessor at the box office, which is already a very happy thing.

When the first part of "Happy Ghost" was made, the box office was only in the early 50 million, and based on an average of 10 yuan for a movie ticket, about 5 million people have watched this movie.

But now the box office of the second part has reached 68 million, which means that nearly two million more people have watched "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation".

It stands to reason that it's hard to be interested in watching a sequel without watching the first part, where did the nearly two million people come from?

Naturally, it's a counterattack to the free version.,In fact, the first part has been watched on major video sites by tens of millions of people.,Plus some people choose to download the clear version.,More viewers are watching through the free version.。

And after the first part of "Happy Ghost" was painted, the mighty counterattack of the free version of the action began to blow the horn, and when the second "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" was released, many viewers who had watched the first free version could no longer find the free version, so they could only go to the cinema to watch it.

That's why it has accumulated nearly 70 million box office results in one month, and if it continues to be released, it will definitely become the second movie under Genesis Films to have a box office of over 100 million!

This qiē is all brought by the promotion of the genuine version, so Meng Chao thought that at the beginning of the year, he would be so strong in encouraging insiders to fight back against the free version and put pressure on the government, which still has a certain effect.

……

Huaxia Film and Television City.

"Brother Chao, I saw the invitation to the premiere of "Zombie Family" in your office, and Uncle Nine is filming a new drama again?"

Meng Chao was visiting the crew of "Why Have Me" when he received Guan Zhilin's movie, during this time Meng Chao was running around among the major crews, and Guan Zhilin would go to Genesis Film Company from time to time to study, and she seemed to want to learn the management of the company.

Meng Chao felt that in addition to wanting to help herself reduce her workload, this woman also had a certain psychology of treating herself as a hostess and wanting to meddle in the company's affairs.

However, Meng Chao is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, he can buy a car for Guan Zhilin to hold a banquet, but his career does not allow a second person to dictate.

For this reason, Meng Chao hung Guan Zhilin and did not let her contact the company's affairs, the purpose was to make her retreat in the face of difficulties, and understand that even in Meng Chao's mind, her status was higher than that of ordinary women, but there was not much difference!

"Okay, I know, I promised Uncle Nine that if he has a movie released, I will support it, this "Zombie Family" is a sequel movie, mainly because Golden Harvest saw that "Mr. Zombie" was selling well and rushed to shoot it."

Hearing Meng Chao's words, Guan Zhilin asked excitedly, "Can Brother Chao take me?" ”

Meng Chao brings a female companion every time he attends some occasions, but he usually brings Ye Qianwen, and occasionally brings a few little girls from the happy girl group, so Guan Zhilin, who feels that she has a special identity, naturally wants to follow Meng Chao to attend a premiere.

Regarding this request, Meng Chao did not refuse: "If you like it, I will take you to see it, but Jiahui, if you are fine, you should not run to the company, I don't want others to interfere with the normal operation of the company." ”

After Meng Chao said this, Guan Zhilin was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Okay, I know." ”

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chao said to Zheng Zeshi, who was resting on the side: "Brother Kent, there is news for you." ”

Zheng Zeshi asked, "Good news or bad news?" ”

"It should be bad news, your "Why Have Me" had an opponent when it was released in the middle of the month, Liu Guanwei and Lin Zhengying on the Golden Harvest side made a sequel to "Mr. Zombie", and the premiere will be held tomorrow night."

Hearing the news, a trace of sadness appeared on Zheng Zeshi's face, but it quickly dissipated: "Then we can only fight in the ring, but the content of our movie is about the social problems of people with intellectual disabilities, the main focus is family affection and touching, Lin Zhengying's movies are mainly supernatural and martial arts, and there is not much conflict in the genre!" ”

Soon Zheng Zeshi added: "However, if the audience only intends to watch one movie during this period, then the choice may be more inclined to Lin Zhengying's side, after all, "Mr. Zombie" at the beginning of the year has a good box office and reputation!" ”

Meng Chao said: "The situation you said is indeed zài, but I think your film is also remarkable, and there is no need to be afraid of competition from Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest's movies are all screened in cinemas under our own cinema chain, while we are screened in cinemas under the state-run cinema chain, so there is no competition in schedules and screenings......"

At least "Why Have Me" is lucky, although there was Golden Harvest's "Zombie Family" against the stage when it was released, but fortunately, except for "The True Color of Heroes", the rest of the films in the same period did not have much competitiveness.

And by the time "Why Have Me" was officially released, "The True Color of Heroes" had already reached the final weak period, including the popular "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", which was also in theaters, and the box office growth began to decline......

And "Why Have Me" is the same tear-jerking tragic movie as Meng Chao's previous "The Wrong Car", there are relatively few movies of this genre, except for the previous "Extralegal Affair" by Liu Dehua and Ye Dexian, it is difficult to have a boutique of the same type that can be compared.

At this time, Zheng Zeshi also regained his previous optimism: "Don't talk about our movie, I received news that Zeng Zhiwei and Cheng Long have collaborated on a "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", which will be released before this year's Spring Festival, since "The True Colors of Heroes" has been selling well, Meng Chao, your company is thriving now, and you already have the strength to compete with Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, plus the Spring Festival file is originally a schedule that major film companies must compete for, don't you have any ideas?" ”

"Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" is an ambitious work of Cheng Long, this film is also the box office champion in 1987 in the parallel world, this is an absolutely large-scale movie, the members of the family class were filmed as far away as Yugoslavia, and in the middle of Cheng Long fell from a height of more than ten meters because of the shooting of a shot of jumping into a tree, and almost died young......
