Oriental Film chose to cooperate with Warner of the United States to land "Blair the Witch" in the United States. This has caused a lot of sensation in China, every year, more than 100 films are logged in by the European Union in China, and no more than 10 films are logged in overseas every year, so every time a movie is logged overseas, the media will make a big splash, which is also to stimulate the development of Chinese cinemas. When "Blair the Witch" landed in the United States, many media reported on it, and some even sent people to the United States to obtain first-hand information. And most filmmakers are also optimistic about "Blair the Witch", believing that this is an innovation in the movie, and predicting that the box office of "Blair the Witch" will exceed 300 million.

Xu Fan is a reporter from the film magazine, and he came to the United States this time to obtain first-hand information on the screening of "Blair the Witch" in the United States. The cinema he came to was a large movie theater in downtown Los Angeles and the largest of the ten movie theaters in Los Angeles where "Blair the Witch" was shown.

This movie theater, which can accommodate about 2,000 people, only about 7 or 800 people came at this time, and the attendance rate was only about 30 percent. There are large spaces in the space, and the teenagers who come in are also very jumpy, none of them do it according to the seat number, three by two, three, two, two, and pile up to choose their favorite corners and gather together.

Xu Fan frowned when he saw it, and said in his heart, could it be that this time "Blair the Witch" is going to be as bad as the previous movies!

As far as the eye can see, there are empty rows of positions in the middle of a lump, and today, according to the plan, it is going to be screened for a whole day, that is, one by one. The owner of this movie theater also frowned a little when he saw this situation, and the attendance rate of his heart was 30%, which was a very low percentage, and it was the first public screening.

At that moment, the boss went to contact the boss to see if he wanted to cancel today's continuous screening plan.

As the head of North America for "Blair the Witch", Rory is now anxiously waiting for the first-hand data of movie theaters in various regions in the company, and when he sees the statistics on the report, the average attendance rate is only about 30%, and Rory sits heavily on his sofa.

"Hey......" Rory sighed.

The average attendance rate is only 30 percent, and some small movie theaters only have three or four hundred seats, and some large ones have one or two thousand seats, so the average is down. In fact, there are very few moviegoers.

What made Rory frown even more was that seeing such a dismal attendance, those theater owners asked for a reduction in the number of screenings, from ten a day mentioned in the initial contract to two a day...... The specific situation will be determined after the subsequent development. In short, the bosses also look at the money, and if the income is not good, they will naturally talk to you about the conditions. In this regard, Luo Rui is helpless, he can't let those bosses lose money, after all, he will cooperate with these theaters in the future, and the company still has two movies to be released.

This data, Rory is a little afraid to release it.

The average attendance rate is 30 percent, and the total box office of the first show is less than a few hundred thousand dollars, which is the sum of 500 movie theaters, and the average box office of each theater is only a few thousand dollars.

Once it is announced, not to mention what the media say, Rory's main concern is that it will affect the cooperation plan with Oriental Film Company.

The movie begins!

The movie theater didn't quiet either, most of them were teenagers, still playing in low voices at this time. The logo of Oriental cinema was shown on the screen, and after a few seconds, the big screen went dark, and then a subtitle appeared: In October 1994, three film school students disappeared while filming a documentary in the forest near Maryland in Burkittsville, and a year later, people found the film they shot at that time. After three seconds of darkness, the movie begins.

"Huh." A burst of startling sounds, and most people were attracted by this text and couldn't help but watch the movie quietly. As the movie began and the plot unfolded, the entire movie theater quieted down, and the groups of teenagers who jumped out also quieted down, staring at the screen tightly one by one, for fear of missing a little plot and missing the excitement. Xu Fan was finally a little relieved when he saw this situation.

The movie continued, and from the very beginning, the audience was immersed in the movie, and although they felt slightly uncomfortable with the rough DV images at first, they were relieved to think that it was edited from a real DV tape. The audience in the movie hall became more and more engaged, and even the small discussions in the back audience were gone, only occasionally, some heavy breathing and exclamations could be heard.

Later in the movie, there are more and more horrors, strange sounds heard at night, including the voice of children, and the sound of unknown objects rubbing on both sides of the tent, and Josh's screams echoing in the darkness at night, but he cannot be found. In the morning, Heather found a pile of sticks and clothing outside the tent and found blood-soaked clothing, human teeth, and human tissue inside. Their hearts were suffocating. These psychological horror techniques have succeeded in making them scare themselves, and the spiritual strings are tightened more and more, to the point of collapse. Some of the audience held their heads, some subconsciously shrunk their bodies, and Josh's screams sent chills through their hearts, goosebumps all over their bodies, and even their bodies trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Soon, the film comes to an end, and that night, they hear Josh's cries for help in pain and follow the direction of the cries to find an abandoned house in the woods. There appears to be a fight after Mike runs into the basement, followed by silence and the sound of cameras crashing to the ground. Heather then enters the basement as well, and sees Mike curled up in a corner facing the wall. In the end, Heather dropped the camera, and there was endless silence after her screaming.

"This is the scariest horror movie I've ever seen, damn it! I regret it now, I think I will not be able to sleep anymore, and I will have nightmares when I sleep, damn it......" A young black man chattered and scolded his friend,

"Oh my God, is this true, is there really a witch?" An audience member still had the horror on his face and asked his companion next to him.

"I don't know, but I heard that there are rumors in Huaguo."

"No, I've seen it on the Internet, and these are all fake, as if they are the promotion of the film company."

"Impossible, how can a fake be so real."

Xu Fan heard these people's heated discussions about the movie, and his heart was full of pride, Nima, who said that Huaguo movies are not as good as Meiguo, and who said that Huaguo is scum except for kung fu movies. See, this film costs only 50,000 yuan, and it was filmed by a few students, which makes you Mi people crazy, this is the future of Chinese directors.

Chalmers is a film critic who walks between DreamWorks studios and many other film critics, but Chalmers considers himself an impartial man, who does not accept benefits from DreamWorks Films, but only writes about his true feelings about films, and makes ends meet with newspapers and magazines.

However, Chalmers's film review is also one of the most talked about by DreamWorks, because insiders know that he did not take money from the production company and did not write according to the production company's requirements.

Today, Chalmers also came to see the screening location in one of the largest movie theaters in Los Angeles because he wanted to see the film, which has been made a miracle in the history of cinema by the Chinese Entertainment District. In the eyes of most Chinese people, the Chinese movie represents the highest level in the world, but Chalmers does not fully agree that the American movie is good, but it does not mean that the movies in other entertainment areas are bad, but the difference in culture leads to different views on a movie. For example, a very famous comedy "friends" in the United States is very funny and humorous in the eyes of the United States, but when it comes to the European Union, China is not so popular. Why? Because the EU and China are not interested in American humor, you think it's funny, but people think you're nervous.

As the film began, Chalmers kept jotting down some key words in his notebook, the picture was rough but realistic, creative, I didn't feel it at the beginning, but I had a feeling of fear,

Xu Fan deliberately took a look at the situation of buying tickets when he left, and many of the people queuing up to buy tickets here had just come out of the cinema, that is to say, many people who had just watched it were the same as them, and they bought tickets again to watch it for the second time.

"Hey, did you see the witch at the end?"

"I don't know, I want to watch it again, I didn't look carefully just now."

"Hey...... The people in front of you are faster...... The second one started right away."

…………

This large movie theater also shows other movies in other movie theaters, so other tickets are sold at the same time, so there are a lot of people in line, but there are not many people who buy tickets for "Blair the Witch". But the second show of "Blair the Witch" is about to start, and they are all a little anxious, urging the people in front of them. Chalmers stood in the back and wrote down some of the audience's reactions in his notebook - the audience then rewatched 30 percent in a row, and through Chalmers's careful observation, about 30 percent of the audience who had just watched the movie came to line up again to buy tickets.

That's a very high percentage

The owner of the movie theater also found that the attendance rate of the second show of "Blair the Witch" has increased a little, reaching about 50 percent, but it is still very rare that he has applied to the above to reduce the number of screenings, and sent the audience data of this second show, and he can pass it.

In fact, and indeed so, the owner of the cinema immediately received a message from the company that he would reduce the number of screenings, two shows a day, and the paintings would be completed a week later.

It's a pity that the owner of the cinema didn't pay attention to the proportion of those viewers who watched it for the second time, because he was startingly frightened by the thirty percent attendance of the first show.
