Chapter 373: Go to the Night Movie
In this plane, there are basically no pirated movies on the market, and when the movie is first released, it is impossible for the genuine disc to be listed, so if you want to watch the movie, people can only go to the cinema to watch it.
To say that the ticket price of the movie here is not high, it is generally 20 yuan or 25 yuan, even if it is a top blockbuster, it will not exceed 40 yuan.
In this era, there are no giant screen movies like 3DIMAX, so the overall ticket price is low. There are even some discounted movie tickets, which can be bought for 10 yuan.
Although the ticket price is not high, the cinema infrastructure here is very good and very common, such as Fuwan, which is not the largest city in China, within a radius of 8,000 square kilometers, at the beginning of 93, there are already more than 150 cinemas, and the total number of screens is close to 1000!
In a top city like Chang'an, there are more than 300 movie theaters, and the total number of screens exceeds 2,000!
According to authoritative statistics, at the beginning of 1993, the number of regular movie theaters in China had exceeded 27,000! The total number of screens is more than 150,000! This number is already more than the total number of screens in the world of the plane where Du Xinghe once lived!
This level of China, a country's film market, has become so big that it occupies half of the world! However, because of the slightly blocked cultural system of the Celestial Empire, this super cake is only enjoyed by the Chinese themselves, a little self-entertaining, but everyone is happy, after all, China's culture radiates all of Asia, and it can be completely self-sufficient to digest by itself.
From a purely artistic point of view, Chinese cinema in this dimension. The depth and breadth of emancipating the mind are not enough, and the film industry also has a bit of a bottleneck feeling in today's record industry, becoming more and more profit-seeking, and the developed local film industry is like a huge dream-making machine, running the assembly line day and night.
There are in-depth and reflective films in China. The number is small. Because the box office of this kind of movie is really not good, it is generally a fiasco, and it does not get the opportunity to be released on a large scale at all. Nowadays, in addition to filmmakers who still have the pursuit of film, most directors and filmmakers. They all prefer to take on some vulgar and more profitable movies.
The total amount of the film market here. It's more than five times bigger than the record market! The brutality of the competition is dΓΉ. You can imagine how big it is! There are many powerful film and television companies, and the national cinema chain has established five major cinema alliances according to geographical boundaries!
The movie here. It is impossible to release it in all theaters at the same time, because there are too many movies produced here every year, and there will be a heavyweight movie released in almost two or three days.
When a movie is released, if it can boast that the region can get two or three theater alliances and release it in its cinemas at the same time, then the cast of this film must be very extraordinary! And when this movie was released, it must have had a special background.
Just like on June 1, 1991, Fang Yajun's 30th birthday, the warm disaster film "June 1, Before Dawn" was released, which was a film to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Beishan earthquake, which touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese and was a super tear-jerking blockbuster.
But even so, this movie is only released in the three theater alliances: the Chinese and Western Cinema Alliance (the second largest cinema alliance in the country) with the capital Chang'an as the core, the North China Cinema Alliance (the fourth largest cinema alliance in the country) with the cultural town of Beiping as the core, and the East China Cinema Alliance (the third largest cinema alliance in the country) with the magic capital Shenhai as the core.
With Xiangjiang as the core, it radiates Guangcheng, Fuwan and other places, has the largest number of theaters, and is the largest southeast cinema alliance in the country; With Yucheng as the core, the scale is similar to that of the North China Cinema Alliance, but the number of theaters is slightly smaller, and "June 1, Before Dawn" has not been released from beginning to end. At that time, these two theater chains were in alliance with other blockbusters, and then because of the fierce competition in film scheduling, these two theaters did not appear in national blockbusters like "June 1, Before Dawn".
After the film bureau here has reviewed the content of the film, graded the film, and granted the right to release, it will not interfere with anything else, as for the region in which the film will be released, it is all up to the film company to negotiate.
Due to the fierce competition between the five cinema alliances, it can even be said to be cruel, generally after a film alliance wins the broadcast right of a film, it will impose multiple restrictions on the film company, and the film is not allowed to be released in other cinema alliances, and other cinema alliances watch a movie and sign another cinema alliance, and it is impossible to be on this film again.
Here, the cinema alliance and the film company basically belong to the same high level of relationship, no one particularly asks for anyone, if it is a high-quality movie, the cinema alliance will compete for the release rights of the film, but if it is an ordinary movie, the film company will go to the cinema alliance to recommend itself.
Usually, film companies in a region will choose the development of the cinema alliance in the region, and there are few that skip the region to be screened, just like Xiangjiang, the film capital, where more than a dozen large local film companies produce films that are usually screened in the Southeast Cinema Alliance. It will not be released in other theater alliances, and people in those areas can only buy DVDs locally if they want to watch the stars of the Southeast Alliance, which can be regarded as a kind of local film and television protection.
Because the film market is too big, it is impossible for any company to swallow this cake in one bite, so the current situation of competition between five cinema alliances has been formed.
For a super blockbuster like "June 1st, Before Dawn", it can be said that the next three theaters will be released at the same time, which is rumored to be ordered by the Zhang family behind the scenes, and the cinema alliance in the north has only cooperated once, otherwise even if it is a blockbuster of this level, it is impossible to release it at the same time in different cinema alliances, or three.
This film also set the highest box office record in China and the world since the 90s: 3.8 billion Chinese yuan! Converted into pounds, almost 4 billion pounds! Converted into US dollars. Nearly $8 billion! This figure is already higher than the GDP of many countries!
It can be seen how explosive the domestic film market is here! You must know that this is only two-thirds of the box office of single-film films produced in the domestic market film market!
According to the figures released by the five cinema alliances, in 1992, the total box office of films in Greater China has successfully exceeded the 100 billion mark!
Among them, the Southeast Cinema Alliance, which has the highest box office, has a box office figure of 29 billion! This figure is more than nearly double the total output value of the entire Chinese record industry in 1992! It can be seen how powerful the film market here is compared with the record market! From these figures, it can be seen that movie stars are generally much more valuable than pure singers.
However, the top singers, their worth and influence are on par with the top movie stars, just like the singer Andy Cheung, whose records alone can sell 10 billion a year! This number is placed in the record circle. It has been against the sky to the point that it can explode the total revenue of hundreds of small record companies. This number is very high in the film industry, after all, this is the output value of a record by himself!
Those prolific movie stars. is like Du Xinghe, the newly promoted Hualong actor, and their university president. Star "model worker" Huang Honglei. Last year, he participated in a total of six films and received a total box office of more than 2 billion in the South China Cinema Alliance, which is twice as high as Zhang Dehua. But this is the result of their efforts by many people, Huang Honglei's own net income is definitely not as much as Zhang Dehua, and his influence is definitely not as great as Zhang Dehua.
But there are more than 100 movie superstars of Huang Honglei's level under the five major cinema alliances in the country, but the top stars in the music industry of the level of Andy Cheung or the Four Heavenly Kings are too rare, so it is an indisputable fact that film and television stars have exploded in the record circle in terms of overall strength.
Of course, the film industry is several times more competitive than the record industry, which is also a cruel reality, just like there is no unified cinema line in the country, and no film can be released at the same time across the country, and even after "June 1st, Before Dawn" in 1991, there is not even a film released in the two cinema alliances in China, which shows how deep the situation of the film industry is, and the competition between the four major players in the record industry and the competition between the five major cinema alliances in the film industry is really trivial.
Liao Nan said at this time that this "No Bones" is an authentic Xiangjiang horror film that will be released by the Southeast Alliance Cinema Line, and the influence of Xiangjiang's movie stars in Fuwan is very great, because Fuwan's theaters belong to the Southeast Alliance Cinema Line, and most of the films released are produced by film companies in the southeast region, and few are produced in the north, and more than half of the movies are Xiangjiang films, so people here are very familiar with Xiangjiang's film and television stars, and they also like it.
is like Yuan Xiaotian, the star of "No Bones", is a new handsome male star in Xiangjiang, Yuan Xiaotian has acted in seven youth romantic comedies and dramas before, and they are very popular with girls. Since the second half of last year, he began to challenge a wider range of drama and transformed into this "No Bones", but after the Spring Festival was released, he was highly praised by film critics in the circle, which made the little sisters who originally liked Yuan Xiaotian want to go to the theater to see this film.
However, the strict grading access system has made young people under the age of 18 basically cut off from this film, thinking that they have to take their ID cards to enter the film when they watch the graded film, and they will be checked very strictly when they enter, and the guards will never let minors in to watch adult-rated movies, because they will be caught, and this movie theater will be punished to death!
If minors want to watch this kind of graded film, they can only wait for the movie to be offline for two or three months, and then watch it in the VCD published by the film and television company.
At this moment, listening to Liao Nan's meaning, it seems that he can take them to the cinema to watch "No Bones", which aroused Ding Dan's interest!
She'd never seen such a thrilling horror film in a movie theater!
Being able to see this kind of ten-eight-forbidden bloody graded horror film on the big screen, Ding Dan feels enjoyable when he thinks about it! couldn't help but ask Liao Nan with interest: "We are all less than 18 years old, can you let us blend into the theater you said?" β
"What do you mean by being confused, it's a fair walk-in!"
Liao Nan said that the cow is extremely broken! He had drunk a lot of wine that night, and he was no longer able to speak, but he was sure that he would be able to bring the two girls in.
The cinema he was talking about was relatively small and privately run. There are only three screening halls inside, and the management system is much looser than that of large theaters. And more importantly, the night ticket inspector there is his cousin, and they don't have to buy tickets, just go in and see it.
The attendance rate of the night show in the movie theater is very low, generally more than 12 o'clock, and the attendance rate will be less than 30%. And many people who watch night clubs are not to concentrate on watching movies, but to do something else.
Liao Nan had already taken Liu Yufei and Yang Wei to watch the night scene of "No Bones" before, but he didn't watch the movie much, so he took care of his two little girlfriends.
This night Jodindan and Ning Rose. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to eat tofu for the two.
Ding Dan saw that what Liao Nan said was so reliable. looked at Ning Qiang Rose and asked her, "How is it, Rose, do you want to go and see it?" "No Bones Remain"! β
"It's a little late today, isn't it?" Ning Qiangrose actually wants to watch "No Bones" in her heart. For girls like them who are in the rebellious period of their youth. The attraction of restricted-level movies is still great. Especially there are handsome guys with dew. Point to a bloody horror movie!
Liao Nan saw that Ning Qiangrose didn't despise him, and thought that there was a door! Busy persuading: "I can only take you in at night, and you can't enter during the day." β
Ding Dan confirmed and asked Liao Nan: "Are you sure you can take us in?" Don't wait until you can't get in. Waste our feelings. β
"Don't worry, I'll be able to bring you in! My brother is a ticket checker, he happens to be on the night show today, I called him just now, he asked us to go directly, the first scene of today's night show is "No Bones", I inquired about it, and the performance started at 0:50! Twenty minutes to go! Let's go now just in time to catch up! β
What Liao Nan said was extremely reliable, and it was too tempting, Ding Dan looked at Ning Qiangrose even more excitedly. If Ning Qiangrose didn't go, she and Liao Nan went to the movies by herself, it would feel weird, she would definitely not go, but with Ning Qiangrose by her side, the meaning would be different.
Although Ning Qiang Rose drank a little wine, she was not drunk, she knew that Liao Nan invited them to the movie so late and didn't bubble well, but being able to go to the cinema to see "No Bones Remaining" was indeed a very challenging temptation for her!
In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of this graded film, Ning Qiangrose decided to let it go, she was in a good mood tonight, and she couldn't sleep because she was made by Du Xinghe, so she went to watch a movie again, so she agreed to Liao Nan's invitation.
The three of them immediately set off and walked to the movie theater that Liao Nan and his cousin were watching.
Originally, Liao Nan wanted to take a taxi to go over, so that it would be more face-saving, but after waiting for a few minutes, he couldn't get a taxi on the side of the road, so in order to catch up with the opening of the movie, he had to take the two girls to the cinema on foot.
Fortunately, that small theater is not far from No. 88 nightclub, less than two kilometers, even if Ning Qiang Rose and Ding Dan can't walk fast in high heels, they should be able to get there before the opening.
On the way, Liao Nantao chatted with the two girls about the future of his singing career: "Actually, I think you might as well sign my brother Adu's Cloud World, although National Entertainment is a big company, but your development over there may not be faster than becoming popular in Cloud World." In the cloud world, Adu can write songs for you, and maybe he will become popular in one hit! β
For Liao Nan's Huaguang little embarrassment, Ning Qiangrose habitually put out an arrogant shelf again, and hummed: "We are developing in national entertainment, Du Xinghe will also help us write songs, he has promised us to help us write songs when we release the album." β
"Really? Adu promised to write a song for you? Liao Nan was stunned when she heard this, Du Xinghe actually agreed to write songs for these two girls?
Ding Dan knew that Ning Qiangrose was now in love with Du Xinghe again, which was also funny, and he patted Ning Qiangrose and said, "Of course it's true!" The relationship between Du Xinghe and our Rose is good! β
Ning Qiang Rose glanced at Ding Dan proudly and shyly, and asked Ding Dan not to talk nonsense, if this word reached Du Xinghe's ears, Du Xinghe might not help them! You must know that the current Du Xinghe and them are not the same person.
Liao Nan heard Ding Dan say this, and his heart was a little retreating, he felt that Du Xinghe agreed to write songs for the two girls, which was probably interesting to Ning Qiangrose! If this is the case, he can't move Ning Qiangrose, otherwise he will anger Du Xinghe, and his life in the cloud world will not be easy. He still aimed his artillery fire at Ding Dan, who was more likely to be taken.
Ding Dan happened to hit Liao Nan's muzzle at this time, smiled ambiguously, and deliberately seduced Liao Nan and said: "I heard that your brother has a good relationship with Guoyu, you have to give our sister a few more good words in front of your brother when you turn around, and let him take care of us more." β
Liao Nan was picked by Ding Dan's eyes, his waist was almost weak, and he smiled and said, "That's a must!" He doesn't take care of you, who does he take care of? Everyone is a classmate of Huayi! We'll definitely take care of each other! Adu told us that as long as he is a classmate of Huayi, we can go to him if I have any difficulties, and he will try to help. If you have any difficulties, you are embarrassed to open up to him, you can tell me first, and I will help you, so that he will definitely be more willing to help you, hehe. β
"I can remember what you said, don't talk and don't talk!" Ding Danjiao smiled and continued to discharge with Liao Nan.
"Absolutely not, don't worry!" Egged on by alcohol, looking at Ding Dan who was dressed coquettishly, Liao Nan's chest was about to breathe fire! He really wanted to touch Ding Dan's upturned ass that propped up the black tuft.
But at this moment, a ruffian voice came from behind them...... (To be continued......)
