Next chapter
On the third day after the completion of Zootopia, Su Ming received the filming information of the film from theaters across the country, and the total scheduling rate of theaters nationwide was about 4%.
It's funny to say, the filming rate of several major cinemas is only less than 3%, and the least Wanda cinema is only 1.8%, or because the film scheduling rate of several small cinema lines is relatively high, and the largest 'Construction Corps Cinema Line' actually gave a 15% film scheduling rate, which increased the overall film scheduling rate.
The purpose of large cinemas is to make money, and small cinemas, especially those with official backgrounds, are public backstage, and in addition to making profits, they also serve as a political task: the cultural world is full of flowers. Similar in nature to art cinemas, the more niche the film, the more it can be released, and it is precisely because of this mechanism that a number of literary films can survive.
Even so, the total number of games is still frighteningly low. The film scheduling rate does not fully explain the problem, the number of theaters in the small cinema line is too low, and the total number of screenings is limited no matter how high the film scheduling rate is. What's more, even the small theater chain of 'A Hundred Flowers Blooming' only gives 15% of the schedule of Zootopia.
Due to the poor lack of publicity before, this movie did not cause much repercussions in the country, and the vast majority of audiences only glanced at it when booking tickets, and saw that the director and actors were unknown, or a small domestic system, basically ignored, and occasionally a few viewers were interested and wanted to book tickets, but found that the screening time was either morning or night, so they gave up.
On Yangchuan Forum and Taoyuan Fun Weibo, there was a certain response, and Su Ming released information about the release of the movie on Weibo and live broadcast platforms.
"Hey, the zoo is out, let's go see it in a group!"
"It's Zootopia! Released today! ”
"I booked tickets on Nuomi.com, but I couldn't find it at all, is there no group purchase?"
"Impossible! I've booked my tickets! ”
"Oh found it, at the end. Damn, it's only one at half past one at night and half past eight in the morning, and I'm going to sleep......"
"How to arrange the film, watching horror movies at night, the director can really think of it...... It's too late to watch. Look at the little times to ......"
"The film schedule is not what the director says, it is the movie theater arrangement."
"Recently, blockbusters have gathered, and the zoo film is probably going to be cannon fodder, and it can't get out, but it's a pity."
"I'm still waiting for the piracy to come out, let's watch the pirated at home......"
Due to the lack of film scheduling and the problem of screening time, many fans from other places on Weibo, although they had the intention of watching the movie, did not make the trip in the end.
The situation of the Yangchuan City Forum is slightly better, after all, it is the first local movie in Yangchuan City, many people enthusiastically joined the discussion before, and now it is finally released, although the time is a little late, and in the end, a group of viewing groups were organized by the die-hard fans of the zoo, more than 30 people, and a small scene at half past one in the morning was chartered.
Su Ming asked Guo Zijian if he wanted to watch it together, Guo Zijian shook his head and smiled, after the film was made, he and Su Ming watched it as soon as possible. Unlike the opinions of most industry insiders, Guo Zijian is very confident in this film.
"Okay, leave him alone, let's take a look." Su Ming bought two tickets in the last row, then took out a long peaked cap and buckled it on his head, and brought a big mask.
Nangong Yan looked at his nondescript dress and said with a smile: "You're not hot." ”
"It's okay, there's air conditioning in the cinema." Su Ming put on a mask and said indistinctly, taking Nangong's hand from the underground parking lot to the elevator.
Wanda Cinema is on the fourth floor of Wanda Plaza, half past one in the morning is the last show, the underground parking lot is quiet to raise a little ghost, sitting on the last open sightseeing elevator to the cinema, Wanda Plaza outside the glass window really has a taste of horror movies, half of the people are gone, several gloomy mannequins stand at the window, looking out through the window expressionlessly.
Su Ming deliberately pinched the time, and when he arrived at the ticket gate, there was already the usual opening music of the animal world - that's right, due to insufficient funds, the opening music of Zootopia was the background music of CCTV Animal World, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that this film was related to animals.
The No. 8 hall of the theater was pitch black, this smallest hall could accommodate sixty-eight people, and it seemed quite full with more than thirty people sitting, but Su Ming knew that this was probably the largest premiere in the country of Zootopia, so he quietly walked with Nangong from the small passage on the side to the last row and sat down.
Nangong seemed to be juggling, took out a few packets of beautifully packaged snacks from his bag, and lined them up on his lap.
"It's a movie that I invested in, you can't be serious......" Su Ming was speechless; At least pretend to be serious about watching the movie. ”
"Am I not hungry?" Nangong tore open a packet of potato chips, stuffed a slice into his mouth, and then handed it to Su Ming: "Do you want to eat it?" ”
"I don't eat it!" Su Ming said depressedly: "I want to watch the movie seriously." ”
"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it......" Nangong stuffed another piece into his mouth.
On the big screen, after a dragon-shaped diagram that everyone is very familiar with, the movie officially begins.
Su Ming has watched the content of the movie several times before, and he is not unfamiliar with it, and what he pays attention to is the reaction of the whole audience. The movie is market-oriented, the theater chain is not optimistic, it doesn't matter, the film scheduling rate is low, no problem, even the girlfriend is absent-minded, it doesn't matter.
As long as the audience buys it! The audience responds well, and the follow-up theaters will naturally increase the film schedule!
The movie is fast-paced, initially looking like a family soap opera, with siblings arguing over whether or not to protect animals.
The elder brother played by Nangong Huang was very irritable because he had to support his family and worked very hard, and he was very disdainful of his sister's 'excessive innocence and kindness', and said a heavy word in the dispute, the younger sister cried and went back to his room, and the elder brother lay on the sofa tiredly, and gradually fell asleep.
Just when the audience may feel impatient, the screen turns, and a new world appears: Zootopia.
My brother travels to another world: Zootopia.
Su Ming found that at the moment when the curtain came to open the scene of Zootopia, the audience was obviously excited, this was a world dominated by animals that had never been seen before, which was very novel;
Until this time, no element of terror had appeared.
With the continuous in-depth observation of this animal city from the perspective of Brother Nangong Huang, an exclamation often erupted in the theater, and there was a burst of ''......
One third of the way through the film, Su Ming could clearly feel that the audience in the theater was in a state of extreme nervousness, and a chilling atmosphere gradually filled the theater.
It seems that the effect is not bad, and half of Su Ming's heart is finally put into his stomach.
Speaking of belly, he glanced at Nangong. She held half a packet of potato chips in her hand, maintained a fixed position, stared at the screen without blinking, and forgot to eat the potato chips. (To be continued.) )
