Chapter 182: Flowers bloom inside the wall, incense outside the wall

The situation of applause is often seen in the film market, but Stephen Zhao never thought that this situation would be staged on him, and it was staged in such a sudden way.

The box office on the first day was 1.05 million, the next day was 1.1 million, and on the third day, the box office dropped back to about 1.05 million, and on the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, it has been maintained around this number.

But on the seventh day, the box office immediately dropped to 950,000, breaking the bottom line of 1 million for the first time.

On the eighth day, the box office was only 800,000.

At this time, Lianhe Cinema immediately reduced the screen and reduced the number of screenings. As a result, on the ninth day of the release of "East Becomes West", the box office was only 300,000.

"This is going to hang a sausage!" Red Star Media Company, everyone let out a wry laugh.

"East Becomes West" was not popular, and they had no confidence in "Huashan on the Sword", which was originally to be released on March 15, so they simply stopped releasing it and turned to other channels to sell.

The first to be promoted are DVD sales and online sales.

DVD sales aside, facing a huge piracy market; In terms of online sales, Zhao Xingchi chose a crooked network that has had many good cooperation with the company.

At this time, the crooked net reminded him of one thing, is it time to put the movie version of "Never Expected" on the agenda?

Stephen Zhao's answer is to wait until the second season comes out in June.

The comedy movie "East Becomes West" has hit the streets, and when it comes to a comedy movie like "Never Expected", Stephen Zhao really has no confidence.

Although the plots of the two movies are different, the themes are similar, and they are both comedy movies of a spoof nature. In Stephen Zhao's feelings, "Never Expected" is not as funny as "East Becomes West".

Stephen Zhao waited for the sales of "East Becomes West" in the two markets of the Internet and DVD. If it's good, comedy movies will continue to be filmed, and if it's still bad, spoofed comedy movies will have to be talked about for a while.

The box office of "East Becomes West" hit the street, and it was released for half a month in total, with a total box office of 15 million.

Calculate it according to the proportion of account sharing. Red Star Media can get a little more than 5.5 million. Excluding the cost, in general, it is just a shout and a hard money.

Looking back at the situation on the Internet, piracy is rampant, so that although the plan to put it on the shelves for sale continues to be implemented, Zhao Xingchi and others have no confidence.

The situation is obvious, continuing to release the film when the box office is not good, which is tantamount to letting piracy run rampant on the Internet, which can be regarded as taking the initiative to lose the part of online sales, and then the box office market and the online market are completely wiped out.

"East Becomes West" hit the street at the box office. Wonder Boy is no longer magical! "Star Weekly" soon began to take the initiative to provoke the war with such a headline, and the article wrote: "It is said that Stephen Zhao's road to fame is full of fantasy, and any industry development can achieve the results that ordinary people dream of." For example, writing historical novels, writing martial arts novels, playing music creation, TV drama screenwriters, online drama screenwriters, etc., so much so that some people tout him as a wonder boy and a living young miracle.

Now, Wonder Boy is going into the film industry.

Wonder Boy confidently held a premiere, inviting many celebrities as guests, and even international director Wang Baogang came to the scene in person.

But. The realistic results taught Wonder Boy a hard lesson, and told him with a box office score of only 100,000 and 50,000 on the first day: in the film market. You're still very tender.

Let's analyze the movie "East Becomes West", it can be said that this is completely a, pee and fart movie. Except for the fact that the names of the main characters are taken from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the others have nothing to do with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at all. It's clear that someone is playing a trick gun here, and it's purely to fool the audience......"

Southern Weekly reported: "...... A brief comment on the movie "East Becomes West". One conclusion can be drawn: it's really urgent for the screenwriter's IQ! The plot is old and vulgar, the lines are vulgar, the picture quality is rough, and the actors' acting skills are exaggerated, almost nothing is not a shortcoming, does the screenwriter really think that the audience is very fooled? Or does the screenwriter think that the audience's appreciation of movies has always been stuck in the past? Although a large part of the audience likes to go into the cinema with the mentality of crushing the screenwriter's IQ, if the screenwriter really makes film and television works in this way, it is going into an evil ......"

……

"Look at the reports. It's all about scolding you again. Qian Minli showed these newspapers to Zhao Xingchi, with a narrow smile on her face.

Stephen Zhao browsed casually, then threw it aside, and said indifferently: "Let them scold, it's not that I look down on them, they can't scold anything new, and they are accusing the movie "East Becomes West" of rubbish and vulgarity, can they hurt a single hair of my hair?" Anyway, "East Becomes West" has already been painted. ”

Qian Minli said: "The next painting is the next painting, but the Internet and the DVD market are still at the beginning, aren't you afraid that these negative reports will affect sales?" ”

Stephen Zhao said helplessly: "Could it be that you still think that "East Becomes West" can create extraordinary results in these two markets?" Now we can earn a little bit of money, and mosquito legs are also meat. ”

Qian Minli smiled: "Is it the company that can make a little money, right?" You've made enough money, you've collected two million just for licensing the adaptation of two movies, what else do you want? ”

Zhao Xingchi laughed dryly, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, haven't you negotiated with Rey Brothers yet, and when will you wait until you start "Painted Skin"?" Also, how is Lin Yuna's album recorded, it should be almost finished, right? ”

Qian Minli thought for a moment and replied, "Brother Rey responded that it needed to be until April 1st; Yuna's cousin's album has been recorded and is being printed and sent to major radio stations for charting, with a first printing of 50,000 copies. ”

"Fifty thousand? Can you digest it? Stephen Zhao is a little worried, the record industry has languished to the freezing point, even if it is an Asian king singer like Jay Sun, it is now bullish to sell two or three hundred thousand copies in Asia.

Lin Yun'er's first record was printed in 50,000 copies at once, and her courage is not ordinary.

"Zhang Lu said it should be fine." Qian Minli replied.

Stephen Zhao nodded, and was about to get up and go to Xingchen Music Company for a walk.

Zhan Xianjun suddenly ran over in a hurry, and said loudly with excitement: "Good news! Mr. Zhao, great news! Our DVD sales were outstanding, with 200,000 copies sold on the first day! ”

"How much? 200,000? Stephen Zhao was taken aback and wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. (To be continued......)
