********************************************
was called a dreamer by Zhang Qian, and Yang Lin accepted it indifferently. He was amazed by his whimsical idea, the Bird's Nest concert was connected with a satellite TV New Year's Eve concert, and at the same time, he was also broadcast live on the Internet, and he couldn't say anything. Without a doubt, this is an amazing idea, and if it comes to fruition, it will be a highlight and shine at the start of 2009!
Zhang Qian walked to the balcony with some excitement to call and communicate about this matter, and Yang Lin once again became the shopkeeper, he actually started to play with his mobile phone and began to brush up on Weibo ~ after filming. Even though he is now in Tokyo, Japan, filming rivalry with Japanese superstar Ken Watanabe, his heart has always been in China.
Liu Yifei's "Searching" filming is getting better, Ye Lanqiu played by her and Chen Ruoxi played by Yao Chen have a lot of rivalry scenes, and Jing Tian, a newcomer to Firefly Company, also plays an important role in the movie, showing her own acting talent to the rest. The most conspicuous thing in the crew is not others, it is the real newcomer Wang Yifan, who has no filming experience before, but relies on his good appearance conditions and the guidance of the old actors around him to film slowly.
But in fact, the number of NGs he has can be said to be the least in the crew, and he plays Yang Shoucheng, a worker of a wedding company, who was fired by the boss for confiding in the truth at a wedding. and was saddled with debt. in life. Yang Shoucheng and Chen Ruoxi talked about a "sister and brother love". If you take care of yourself everywhere, you should be careful everywhere. He was destitute, but at this time, he unexpectedly received a big work order from Ye Lanqiu, but he didn't want to fall in love with Ye Lanqiu because of a simple trip.
This role is very tangled, it can be said that he is splitting legs, but there is no obstacle to him in playing, as if this role was born for him. Even if he is playing against Liu Yifei, he can handle it calmly.
With such a high starting point, such an incredible speed of acting progress, and such a small number of NGs, Wang Yifan was called Xiao Yang Lin by the crew, and he had the posture of Yang Lin back then.
When Yang Lin learned about this character from Liu Yifei's mouth, he was a little taken aback, and thought that he had met a character who was reborn and systematically like himself, but he didn't expect that what people really relied on was talent. In the first movie, he was the leading actor in the movie directed by Liu Yifei, and Yang Lin could only sigh that this person must be unusual.
Refreshed the micro~blog on the phone. Yang Lin suddenly received a lot of messages from @circle, and the private messages of some acquaintances and friends made him feel a little angry!
Wei~Bo user "Struggling Hubble" broke the news: "I went to watch "Painted Skin" before. But the cinema staff gave me a ticket for "Sword Butterfly", saying that I could watch it normally. Is this a box office steal? Under Wei~Bo, he also deliberately came out with his own ticket stub, and on this ticket stub, you can clearly see the name of a movie theater in Tian~Jin.
The whistleblower didn't know the details, but there was a commotion in the film industry. The movie "Painted Skin" has been fully painted in China, with a cumulative box office of 590 million yuan. It stands to reason that the film schedule is quite fierce, accounting for more than 35% for a long time, and sometimes reaching 50%, according to the news fed back by audiences from all over the world, the attendance rate is not low, but the total box office is still not particularly high.
This is not particularly high, but compared with last year's popular "Old Boy", the cast is larger, the magic effect is also quite good, and the word-of-mouth is good among the blockbusters, so many advantages are combined, and the box office is only 590 million yuan.
Of course, the rest of the people think that this box office is already one of the best box offices in China, except for the wonderful movie "Old Boy", it is already the number one in China.
No, some red-eyed people have not yet figured out the situation and began to play a well-known role on Weibo ~ Bo, and began to criticize "Painted Skin".
"The movies are all down, and they are still hype, and now the movies pay attention to hype regardless of quality. What does this ticket stub mean? What else can it be besides the self-hype of "Painted Skin". When it was first released, all kinds of means were used together, and now I still don't let go of "Sword Butterfly", what else can I say? One powder is better than ten black, brain-dead fans, if you want to fight, I will fight, who is afraid of whom! ”
There are still a lot of V-certified accounts that fire directly like this, and they directly position "Painted Skin" as a hype party, and list movies such as "Sword Butterfly" as victims, and this face is under siege by netizens.
"Are you blind? "Painted Skin" is no longer in theaters, and there is still hype wool. It's obvious that other movies want to take advantage of "Painted Skin"! How much advertising pencil money did so many V numbers take, and all fools still have to pretend to be uncles, fuck! ”
"My friends and I were stunned, and some people said that "Painted Skin" is still hype, which really laughed at me. The global box office is calculated in US dollars, and it will come to help hype a small costume idol film, kill me! ”
The replies made Yang Lin happy, he nestled on the sofa and laughed, feeling that his facial muscles were stiff. He gently rubbed his face with his hand, and then thought about it seriously, this is definitely not groundless, stealing the box office is absolutely common across the country, and it can't be banned at all!
What does it mean to "steal the box office"? As the name suggests, it is to "steal" the box office income of a certain film and transfer it to other films or the theater's own purse. To use a more intuitive figure as an example, a film may actually sell 1 million tickets in theaters, but after being stolen, omitted, diverted, concealed, etc., it may only get 800,000 at the box office, and the other 200,000 may become a competitor's box office, or fall into the theater or the staff's own pockets.
The case mentioned in the micro ~ blog is a typical Zhang Guan Li Dai. This festival passes the issuance of tickets, but it is generally a ticket for a movie that is branded as a B movie and entered the venue in a misplaced position. The beneficiaries of this law are not only cinemas, but also film distributors.
The audience went to the theater to watch the A movie, but the theater gave him a ticket for the B movie. Although the audience is still watching the A movie, the ticket price of this ticket is included in the box office income of the B film by the system. In this method, the box office of the A-film is stolen, and the B-film and the theater are the beneficiaries. The revelation in the Weibo ~ blog is likely to be that the distributor stole the box office of "Painted Skin" and transferred it to "Sword Butterfly", of course, this is just a hypothesis, and the real situation is still under further investigation.
In addition, it is a routine to use scrapped tickets to steal the box office. Because the box office income of a movie is entered according to the system ticketing record, and this operation mode of "stealing the box office" is, simply put, to use the invalid movie ticket as the admission voucher. In this way, the system does not need to issue new tickets, and a waste ticket can be used many times, and each time it is used, it is to steal the box office. And handwritten tickets are better understood, just write a few strokes on a blank ticket, and you can get the money for this movie ticket, which is simply a good way to reuse, saving time and effort.
Don't look at the domestic film market is booming now, but judging from the proportion of films released, there are still less people who make less money and lose more money. The pressure on the film's distributor can be imagined. As a result, many distributors will take the crooked path of "stealing the box office" to further improve the box office performance of the film.
Generally speaking, distributors will induce each other to privately increase the theater's share ratio. As we all know, China's current box office share has a fixed proportion, after removing taxes and other expenses, the remaining box office share ratio between the film company and the theater is 6:4, and the film company negotiates privately with the theater to increase this ratio, and the theater will help steal the box office to increase its own income.
In fact, it is easy to understand that the box office stealing happened. The surface ratio of the theater and "Painted Skin" and "Sword Butterfly" is 4:6. The two films won 10 million box office in the theater, and each film in the theater can get 4 million. But if the "Sword Butterfly" film secretly increases the ratio to 5:5 through negotiation, then the theater will steal the box office of "Painted Skin" to "Sword Butterfly", because the higher the box office of "Sword Butterfly", the higher the theater's income. On the other hand, the theater is still splitting accounts with "Painted Skin" at 4:6, why not? The theater made a profit, and "Sword Butterfly" also stole more box office.
On the other hand, the box office of "Painted Skin" is so hot, stealing a little bit of the box office will not be discovered at all, if it is not exposed, no one really finds out that movie theaters all over the country are pit "Painted Skin"!
Stealing the box office is the secret "unspoken rule" of all theaters, so some theater staff will naturally not let go of the great opportunity to make money. If you are a high-level or ambitious theater manager, it is not a problem to make millions of dollars every year by 'stealing the box office'. "It's a bit staggering to be honest, but it's definitely true.
The box office stealing incident of "Painted Skin" is not the first time that the thriving Chinese film market has encountered the embarrassment of "stealing the box office". Earlier films such as "Lust Caution", "Mei Lanfang", and "Red Cliff" were all stolen. The box office loss caused by stealing the box office in the Chinese film market every year is as high as three or four billion yuan! The total box office of the Chinese film market in 2007 was just over 9 billion yuan~
stealing the box office, the audience seems to have no loss, but they will question the box office data, and the authority of the data will be greatly reduced, who will pay? Although the theater makes money, who will pay for the interests of the producer? The interests of the producers are not guaranteed, the enthusiasm for investing in making films has been hit, and who will pay for the health of the entire film industry? Did you see it, this is a film industry version of the butterfly effect, a chain.
Yang Lin didn't plan to let go of this matter, he wanted to unite with the rest of the movie bosses to make a big move against stealing the box office, and he believed that the rest of the film companies also hated this cancer! (To be continued.) )
