125.Chapter 125: Opening up the global market

When Nirvana Film and Television Co., Ltd. announced the news of the global release of "Old Boy" and posted the weekly box office in each region on the official website.

The whole of China is completely boiling!!

Two! Hundred million! Three! Thousand! Ten thousand!!

The pure patriotic hearts of countless people are surging, and they are moved to tears!

Could it be that Chinese movies have risen?!

The foreign box office is terrifying in just one week?!!

The curiosity of fans is completely surging, "Old Boy" has such proud results abroad, but in China, why is there not the slightest similar report?

Countless fans who haven't watched "Oldboy" have gone crazy.

They feel their ignorance and stupidity, and fall into deep self-blame and humiliation, because until now, some people don't even know who the director of "Old Boy" is.

They began to make up for the "Old Boy", and then rushed to the movie theater one after another, one by one, without queuing, pouting and lying on the ticket window in the midst of many annoying eyes, crowded with people, spitting stars.

"Get me two Oldboys!"

"Give it to me!! Bring me ten! ”

"Give me all the remaining tickets for "Oldboy" today!"

The ticket sales aunt smiled contemptuously in the face of countless gushing saliva: "I'm sorry, please show your ID card to buy!" One ID card is limited to one ticket! ”

"I'm rubbing, and this rule?"

"Nima, shameless!! How can there be no limit to purchase!! ”

"Give it, this is my ID card, my girlfriend's ID card, my mother-in-law's ID card, I want three ......"

The ticketing aunt smiled contemptuously again: "I'm sorry, the tickets for the last ten days of "Old Boy" have been sold out! ”

"What? I'm cǎo mud male's Gobi! ”

"What? Lost today's ticket? ”

"Whest!! Why!! ”

The fans were angry: "Call your boss out, we want to add a screen!" Gaying!! ”

"Hurry up and add a screening to "Old Boy", damn it, if you can't see "Old Boy" today, you don't have to open the cinema!!"

"Everyone sits in protest!!"

"Protest!!"

This scene happened all over the country, and countless fans saw the enjoyable remarks of foreign netizens watching "Old Boy" in the cinema on the Internet, and their teeth itched with hatred, "Our country's theater chain is really not powerful, and my country's movies don't even support it?" Not at all for us fans!! ”

"Put some garbage movies every day, what "Journey to the Empire", a big bad movie!! The movie theater can't wait to be on the wheel 24 hours a day, and I want to vomit disgustingly!! ”

"Yan zhòng protest!!"

Some overly radical fans even smashed eggs and threw rotten tomatoes in local cinemas, which was extremely loud, so that some theaters were forced to report to the theaters in a hurry.

The heads of the theater bosses were bigger than pumpkins, and after several discussions, they finally launched several qualified and powerful theater parties to contact Zhou Yuqing.

"Little Wangye, this matter can't be suppressed, "Old Boy" has been released in nearly 20 countries abroad, and has achieved very good results, domestic netizens have been protesting for a long time, several movie theaters have been smashed by fierce elements, we are under a lot of pressure, look, is it to add a few more scenes to "Old Boy"?"

"Oh? Then add it! But take it gradually, take it slowly, in short, no more than a thousand! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As a result, under the protests of countless fans, the theater chain finally made a compromise and increased the number of screenings in 200 theaters of "Old Boy".

This made most fans cheer, thinking that their protest had an effect, but there were still a few fans who were dissatisfied with this, 200 plus the previous 500, and the screening of "Old Boy" was only 700.

Faced with an unbearable market, a huge number of "Old Boy" fans ...... Such an increase is just a drop in the bucket!!

Who to bluff!

Sure enough, only 200 movie theaters were added, and as soon as the tickets were put up for sale, they were sold out in less than an hour.

Oh no!!!

"Nima can't see enough!"

"Gaying! Gaying! ”

"We're going to see 'Old Boy'!"

The theater side couldn't withstand the pressure, and began to gradually increase the screening according to the expected screening, from 700 to 1,000, but it still couldn't accommodate the empty stomach of the market.

In this case, scalper tickets were once speculated to a sky-high price of 500.

Some rich fans don't feel distressed to buy it at a high price, just to watch it well!

But where did ordinary movie fans get so much money, so fans besieged the theater side again, demanding that it be screened to 3,000 stores!

Now, the reputation of "Old Boy" has gradually spread in China and even internationally, and almost all fans know that "Old Boy" is hard to get, so they are more and more curious about "Old Boy".

The domestic Venus search engine has instantly emerged with many content topics asking about "Old Boy", and what is even more exaggerated is Google's global search engine, which has instantly risen from more than 100 million searches to 200 million!

Paper can't contain fire after all!

Some small media began to report on "Old Boy" one after another, every time they broke through the website traffic, the paper media finally couldn't help it, and some tabloids and small magazines began to secretly introduce "Old Boy", this kind of report caused countless people to click and watch, so that the editors-in-chief of these small media were overjoyed, and gradually couldn't grasp the scale, and began to frequently write all kinds of news about "Old Boy".

For a while, whether it was online media or print media, they all made a lot of money because of this.

Those mid-to-high-end entertainment media who have been waiting and watching saw this, and they couldn't hold their breath, and began to ask their reporter writers to write about the domestic and foreign box office of "Old Boy".

All the reporting came to an abrupt end.

Countless media practitioners trembled in their hearts and felt shocked.

Is this the imperial power?

Immediately, they stopped reporting on "Old Boy".

But the previous small media reports on "Old Boy" for a short time have extended great power at this time.

Fans who stayed in the cinema to buy tickets and looked forward to watching "Old Boy" increased by 20% in an instant!!

As time passed, "Oldboy" went from the first week of rehearsals to 500 theaters, box office 2. 0.8 billion, and gradually increased to 1,000 in the second week, with a box office of 2. 9.3 billion, a total of 500 million yuan box office, only took two weeks!

and "Journey to the Empire", which was released at the same time as "Old Boy", only had a box office of 4. 9.6 billion, compared to 5 in "Old Boy". 0.1 billion, a difference of five million!!

Winners and losers at a glance!

Subsequently, "Old Boy" has been steadily released in 1,000 movie theaters, and the national box office reached 3 in the third week. 1.5 billion, 4th week 3. 6.6 billion, countless people are crying in the memory of reminiscing about their youth.

Just when people were looking forward to the box office figures of "Old Boy" in the fifth week, a message was released on the official website of Nirvana Film and Television Company, which made countless people angry.

After four consecutive weeks of release, the total box office of "Old Boy" ranked first in the country, with a total of 11. 8.2 billion RMB! According to the notice of the theater line, the box office of "Old Boy" cannot meet the screening standard for the time being due to low profitability, and it is now out of theaters! "-- Nirvana Number Jù Coordination Department.

"I'm dizzy, isn't it, nearly 1.2 billion, and I can't meet the standard of Jiaying?"

Countless fans were blinded by this news, when did Huaxia's movies become so cold and awesome?

was released in January, and the box office was as high as nearly 1.2 billion, a number that made countless directors ashamed, and they were not eligible to be screened?

The announcement on Nirvana's official website made fans who already felt that something was wrong suddenly understand!

Shady!!

There is definitely a shady scene!!

The discussion of "Old Boy" on major sites on the Internet has entered a white heat, but no matter how much protests and curses, the theater party canceled the qualification of "Old Boy" to continue to be released, which is a foregone conclusion.

Countless people were furious, and just when there was an online version after they comforted themselves, Nirvana officially issued a public message again, making fans vomit blood three liters!!

"Due to platform review restrictions, the hour-long micro-film version of "Old Boy" cannot be released online for the time being, and I hope that the majority of fans will be able to enjoy it."

This Nima, what is the platform review restriction?

Countless shadow whites had question marks popping up in their minds.

"It just can't meet the signing requirements of online video websites, and it can't be released." Some netizens explained: "It seems that Yiku Video Network is also involved in the shady production of zuò!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and then they were frustrated to find that they missed the big screen, and they couldn't even see the edited version of the online micro-movie?

Is it possible to go overseas to watch it?

As soon as I thought of this, some fans who couldn't see "Old Boy" in China immediately went to the areas where "Old Boy" was being screened in various countries to watch it in groups.

Not to mention North America and Europe, which are far away on the other side of the world, there are seven or eight countries around the country that have obtained the rights to release the movie "Oldboy", such as Singapore, Japan, Thailand and other places.

With the announcement of the box office of "Oldboy" in the first week abroad, all film markets immediately paid attention to this small-budget film.

After getting in touch with Zhang Heng, the theater chain also decisively added the film scheduling rate, and the attendance rate of various countries was as high as about 30%, which made these theaters who signed a 1:9 and 2:8 sharing contract can't help but be happy.

In other words, when the box office increases to 100 million US dollars, more than 80 million US dollars will flow into the hands of these theaters, while the production of Zuò Fang Nirvana Film and Television only accounts for less than 20%, or even lower revenue.

Such a sharing ratio makes the situation of some foreign cinemas and Huaxia cinemas, except for the box office, just form the opposite trend in all aspects.

They not only vigorously promoted the results and reviews of "Old Boy" in the media, but also continued to increase the screening rate of "Old Boy" in their respective theaters.

This is a sight that cannot be seen in the country!

After Zhang Heng paid a low percentage of the box office, the only benefit he got was this-opening up the global market!!

Only in this way will Zhang Heng's next movie be released abroad that it will gain the attention of these foreign theaters.

When the overseas box office figures around "Old Boy" were transmitted back to China, fans who were originally just going abroad to watch movies in a small group suddenly rushed forward, like a turbulent tide, and began to form a large-scale group to go abroad!
