Chapter 871: The Eight-Star Annunciation Sells Big
Although Wang Zichuan is nostalgic for the gentle township, Tengfei Entertainment is still running as usual, after the premiere of "Eight Star Annunciation", the film was officially put on the screen, with Zhou Runfa and Liu Dehua's box office appeal, the enthusiasm of fans instantly submerged the Oriental Cinema, the first scene of the movie, the power supply of the release of "Eight Star Annunciation" was full, and it was difficult to find a ticket, and the advance tickets have been sold for ten days, after the audience came out of the cinema, the enthusiasm was high, full of praise, and the film's reputation soon spread.
"Smack!"
The cup full of tea fell to the ground, Zou Wenhuai was unconscious, he couldn't believe that "Eight Star Annunciation" was a big hit again, and the Hong Kong film market had not been so lively for a long time.
Cai Yongchang said gloomily: "Oriental Cinema released "Eight Star Annunciation", the venue was full, it is estimated that today's box office does not need to be counted, just calculate it according to the full seat, we released "Miss Hong Kong Photo" lost miserably, yesterday the attendance rate of several leading cinemas remained at seventy, and today it fell to forty percent, nearly half of the audience was snatched away by Oriental Cinemas, according to the following people's reports, the "Eight Star Annunciation" movie has been sold for ten days, that is to say, Oriental Cinemas will have a minimum attendance rate of eighty percent in the next ten days. ”
Zou Wenhuai said lonely: "Have any of you seen the film "Eight Star Annunciation"? ”
Liu Lianghua shook his head, Liang Feng also shook his head, and the last Cai Yongchang also had an ugly face, he lost so badly, he patronized the aftermath, and then he still had the kung fu to cheer the enemy.
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "I've seen it, and I've seen it at the premiere." ”
Liu Lianghua was surprised: "Ah Huai, you participated in the premiere of "Eight Star Annunciation"? ”
"I went, I wanted to win over Huang Baiming, at that time I thought that "Eight Star Annunciation" would be a big hit at the box office, but I didn't expect it to be popular, on the first day of screening, the huge Oriental cinema was full everywhere, which I have never encountered." Zou Wenhuai spoke with a trembling voice. Wang Zichuan surprised him too much, starting from "The True Color of Heroes", "Lucky Stars", "Gambling Saint", "Truant Dragon", breaking the box office record of the movie is as simple as eating.
Liang Feng was very unconvinced: "Tengfei Entertainment relies on the large number of seats in the Oriental Cinema Line, if our film is released in the Oriental Cinema, it can still achieve a box office of more than 50 million!" ”
Cai Yongchang said quietly: "Things are not so simple! ”
Liang Feng was stunned for a moment, Cai Yongchang is the manager of the theater chain, and what he said is more credible, but he doesn't understand what mysteries are in the middle? He has always believed that Golden Harvest will lose in theaters.
Cai Yongchang analyzed: "The movie releases a film. The first thing to look at is the box office potential of the film. ”
Liang Feng scoffed: "Box office potential? Could it be that the box office potential of the film is not good, so the theater will not release it? The box office potential is high, and the theater can still increase the box office! ”
Liu Lianghua realized something, and muttered: "Speaking of which, Tengfei Entertainment recently canceled the full-line continuous screening system, and we were breathless when the box office was pressed by 60 or 70 million at every turn, but now "Across the Seas" is so popular, and the box office has only exceeded 50 million!" ”
"You're saying Ascendas Entertainment did it on purpose?" Liang Feng was amazed, "Across the Seas" had just been painted, and the popularity at the beginning of the release was still in front of him. "Truant Dragon" has achieved a box office of more than 70 million, but "Across the Seas" is only more than 50 million.
"What the hell is Tengfei Entertainment doing? The film can sell 70 million at the box office. Why sell for 50 million? ”
Cai Yongchang explained the screening plan implemented by Tengfei Entertainment, and concluded at the end: "When Tengfei Entertainment was established, it began to lay out theaters, and this decision benefited Tengfei Entertainment immensely!" ”
Liang Feng complained: "Uncle Shao is really true. If you don't do it yourself, forget it, and sell the theater to Wang Zichuan's ambitious guy, giving birth to a monster to take off entertainment. No one can control him, now it's okay, not only will it affect us, even if Uncle Shao wants to return to the film industry, it depends on Wang Zichuan's face! ”
"We can't just patronize and complain about others, why can't we do what Wang Zichuan can do."
Speaking of this, Zou Wenhuai glanced at Liang Feng lightly, he shouldn't have let Liang Feng win over Huang Baiming in the first place, if he had gone out in person, maybe it would be Wang Zichuan who had a headache today!
How can Wang Zichuan be able to discern talents? Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Meng, Wang Guxian and other stars are good to explain, a good movie can become popular, directors and screenwriters are not a day's work, no talent, no opportunity can not become atmospheric at all, the law that everyone knows will not work when it comes to Wang Zichuan, Mr. Wang Jin turned waste into treasure, and then Wu Yusen became famous in one fell swoop, even Liu Guanwei, who started at Golden Harvest, was nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards with "Mr. Zombie", not to mention Lin Lingdong and Liu Zhenwei, who had not interviewed in Golden Harvest before, In the end, they don't all get out of the way because their abilities are not up to par!
To say that these people are hiding in Jiahe, and they only show their talents when they take off entertainment, Zou Wenhuai absolutely doesn't believe it, thinking about it, it is still the rigidity of Jiahe's system, the incompetent Zhang is in a high position, and the talented people are depressed, and they are exploited by Wang Zichuan.
Liu Lianghua, Cai Yongchang, and Liang Feng all lowered their heads, Zou Wenhuai hadn't taught them such a lesson for a long time, and when he targeted He Guanchang, he only hinted that there was no head-on conflict, as for He Guanchang, he couldn't stand this atmosphere and ran away with Cheng Long, which was an unexpected result for them.
Zou Wenhuai analyzed: ""Eight Star Annunciation" and "Rich and Powerful" have been sold one after another, which shows that family comedies are very popular with fans. ”
Liang Feng reminded: "We don't have a director who is good at family comedy, Golden Harvest has been good at action scenes since its establishment, and action directors and martial arts fingers have grabbed a lot of them." ”
Zou Wenhuai gritted his teeth and said: "Then spend money to invite, even if you use money to smash the film, you have to smash the film out." ”
Cai Yongchang remembered the mess in the theater and reminded: "The attendance rate of "Miss Hong Kong Photo" is sluggish, do you want to draw the film and release "Detective Chocolate"? ”
"I don't think there's going to be such a rush." Liu Lianghua had to stand up and excuse himself: "The Eight Star Annunciation" has been in the limelight for the past few days, and when the momentum passes, the attendance rate of Golden Harvest Cinemas will pick up, and the cost of the film "Miss Hong Kong Photo" is 6.3 million, and the cost has not yet been recovered. ”
Cai Yongchang hesitated for a moment and retorted: "This is a cannon fodder film, purely to use Sister Hong Kong's dew point to attract the audience, and now it seems that the audience doesn't seem to buy it." ”
Liu Lianghua argued: "There are no cannon fodder films, we make movies to make money, not to fight to the death with Tengfei Entertainment, we will change our generals on the spot, and Debao will do this for the sake of their own interests, so that the three of them will lose both, when Tengfei Entertainment releases "Plan A", what do we do to fight them? ”
Cai Yongchang said: "If the box office of the cinema does not pick up, wouldn't it be too cheap "Eight Star Annunciation", let them snatch the audience, and the box office is very willing to break through 70 million again!" The sequel to "Plan A" must also be very exciting, we have been busy in vain this summer, investing so much money, and in the end we haven't made as much as last year! ”
"Wait!"
Zou Wenhuai closed his eyes, not because Liu Lianghua was his good friend to make such a decision, he believes that "Miss Hong Kong Photo" still has potential, as an outstanding filmmaker, he feels that in recent years, there has been a trend in recent years, the market of Fengyue films is getting bigger and bigger, Golden Harvest has invested in many films, but every Fengyue film must be earned.
Cai Yongchang compromised: "Okay, I'll let the theater chain publicize it again, hoping to increase the attendance rate of "Miss Hong Kong Photo" and recover some losses. ”
……
When Jiahe and other high-level executives discussed countermeasures, Lin Jianyue had a headache more than Zou Wenhuai, "Rich and Powerful Again" had just been released for ten days, and received a head-on blow from Tengfei Entertainment, and the attendance rate of the cinema fell to 30%, when he rushed to the cinema, his heart was cold, and the day before yesterday was crowded, he planned to take his father Lin Baixing to witness his success, and it was like this today, it is foreseeable that when Lin Baixing looks at the sparse cinema, what will be his expression.
Song Jiahao reported in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, the single-day box office of "Rich and Powerful" has dropped sharply, and it is estimated that it can only buy 300,000 today. ”
"Three hundred thousand?" Lin Jianyue's head is dizzy, 300,000 a day, 3 million in 10 days, even if it is released for a month, it can only sell 9 million, which is too far and too far from 25 million!
"You have to think of a way, I guaranteed a box office of more than 25 million in front of my father, and now it is only a little over 10 million, even if it is released for another month, it will not reach 20 million, how can you let me pay the difference!"
Song Jiahao was angry and regretful, after a film was released, the director said goodbye to it, but he was cheap, and reported the good news to Lin Jianyue twice in three days, and over time, Lin Jianyue really regarded him as the chief director of Debao, but he calculated everything, but he didn't count the fall of "Rich and Powerful" halfway, and now Lin Jianyue blames him for the responsibility, and he can't push it off if he wants to.
"I don't care, no matter what, you must get the box office to 25 million, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" Lin Jianyue played a tantrum.
Song Jiahao said helplessly: "Mr. Lin, I'm just a director, let me make a film, I'll do it again, let me do this, I really can't do it, even if I call the seven aunts and eight aunts, I can only increase the box office by a few hundred yuan." ”
Lin Jianyue waved his hand and said: "I can't control this, I will give you what you want, you will give you what I want, my father is disappointed in me, I have no hope, tens of billions of family property, can only be cheaper to others!" ”
Song Jiahao was forced to be helpless, and suddenly recalled a script he wrote last year, and hesitated: "I have a way, but it costs some money, how much can you provide, Mr. Lin?" (To be continued......)
