Chapter 306: Release and Boycott

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. The special effects part of the movie "Spider-Man", as well as the post-production, have been completed, and the cost film of this movie has also been made. As long as the appropriate schedule is arranged, the movie can be released directly in the cinema. At the same time, the same is true of Hollywood Maggs's "Heroes of New York", and they have even made a plan for the release of the movie, intending to release it worldwide on October 1.

I have to say here that the movie "Heroes of New York" has worked hard to be released in China and the country at the same time. After all, generally speaking, movies like Hollywood can only be released in China after half a month or more of being released abroad, because China's film system is different, although foreign films can enter, it is still difficult to release them globally at the same time. That's why I said it, it was definitely painstaking, and even paid a certain price.

And in fact, a large part of the reason why "Heroes of New York" was released on this date is because of the box office in China. Because in China, October 1 is the National Day, and there is a seven-day long holiday. This is definitely a very suitable schedule for a movie.

After the movie "Heroes of New York" chose this schedule and the day of the movie's release, Ouyang Xu's idea was to be confronted with it and release it on the same day as this movie, and there was a great deal: 'Come on, hurt each other.' Such an idea, but although this movie is said to be starring Ouyang Xu himself, the investor of this movie is not Ouyang Xu, although Ouyang Xu occupies a part of the shares of the studio that eats by face. But it is still difficult for Ouyang Xu to make decisions about choosing the release date, especially if he wants to collide head-on with a Hollywood blockbuster that may be very popular at the box office.

This kind of thing is simply unacceptable to investors. Let's not mention that if the two movies are released at the same time, the number of films scheduled for each other will be reduced a lot. Box office results will definitely be affected as well.

Ouyang Xu originally thought that he could face hard steel, but he didn't want to end up with it, so there was no way. Even according to the ideas of investors, it is best to stagger the release dates of the two films by a week. It's just that the 11th Golden Week is only seven days in total, and if you stagger the seven days, it will be too wasteful.

Three days, staggered by three days, that is, "Spider-Man" will be released on October 4th.

Ouyang Xu was a little sorry for this situation, but he also knew that this result was already good.

The time is getting closer and closer to October 1, and the movie is about to be released. The dates for the release of "Heroes of New York" and "Spider-Man" in theaters have also been set. All of a sudden, it caused a craze on the Internet again.

A lot of people are looking forward to the release of these two films.

At this time, the promotion of the movie "Heroes of New York" in China began again, still grasping the topic that Ouyang Xu had auditioned for but was rejected. Anyway, it was to publicize how good this movie was, so much so that Ouyang Xu deliberately went to audition, and then was brushed off because of his unqualified acting skills.

Anyway, it's just about making such a topic, trying to increase the popularity of "New York Heroes".

After this kind of publicity reappeared, those fans of Ouyang Xu were almost angry one by one at this time. And so—

Under Ouyang Xu's Weibo, there are also Ouyang Xu's post bars, or other places. Post after post or topic has emerged.

"Support Ouyang Xu, support "Spider-Man", boycott "Heroes of New York", and resolutely do not go to the cinema to watch the movie."

"Don't watch 'Heroes of New York,' don't provide it with a movie box office."

"If my boyfriend dares to go to the cinema to see 'Heroes of New York,' I'm definitely going to break up with him."

"My husband actually said he was going to see 'Heroes of New York'? It's been decided to get a divorce. ”

All in all, a wide variety of topics have emerged. There are quite a few posts or topics that seem to be exaggerated. But more, it is Ouyang Xu's fans who care about it and boycott "New York Heroes" together.

How many fans does Ouyang Xu have, if there is not 100 million, there are 70 or 80 million. So even if only a part of the fans want to boycott "Heroes of New York", this kind of topic is already about to explode on the Internet.

Even the person in charge of Hollywood, who came to China to do propaganda, couldn't help but feel weak after seeing this situation on the Internet. Is this going to be a national boycott or what? Wouldn't it be too much? And Ouyang Xu's appeal is really so strong? Or do the Chinese deliberately want to do things? In fact, there are a lot of entertainment companies or people who are behind this matter to target them for these Hollywood blockbusters?

In a panic, he even made a special call to Hollywood to explain the situation, and then wanted to stop this practice of targeting Ouyang Xu and belittling Ouyang Xu to promote his movie.

Of course, this situation, in general, is not believed by people who do not really see it. So Hollywood didn't think about anything to change at all. I even felt that it would be of great benefit to the promotion of their movie.

In the end, only the person in charge of "Heroes of New York", who does propaganda in China, is worried. Others simply didn't take it to heart.

……

The day of October has finally arrived. The movie "Heroes of New York" has finally begun to appear in movie theaters.

Under normal circumstances, when this kind of movie is released in China, many people will flock to the cinema to watch it. And in terms of movie theaters, 44% of the film schedule for "Heroes of New York" was also arranged. This is also the treatment of Hollywood blockbusters in China.

Ouyang Xu didn't want to go to the cinema to watch, and he didn't have any idea of wanting to explore the enemy's situation, to explore the enemy's situation? You'll have to buy a ticket. Provide movie tickets for his enemies, even if a ticket is only thirty or forty yuan, Ouyang Xu doesn't want to provide it. Careful eye? Well, Ouyang Xu is indeed quite cautious sometimes.

And on this day, on the Internet, under Ouyang Xu's Weibo, some replies also appeared.

"Resolutely resist 'Heroes of New York'"

"My boyfriend wants to go to the cinema to see this movie? Hmph, before he bought the ticket, I pulled him back directly. ”

"I started a month in advance, and I directly stopped my husband's living expenses to see how he went to the cinema to watch movies."

"The one above, are you sure that your husband's living expenses were stopped because of the boycott of "Heroes of New York", and not for other reasons?"

"In order to make my boyfriend have no energy to go to the cinema to watch a movie, I decided to desperately squeeze him every day during the period when "Heroes of New York" was shown in the cinema, squeeze him dry, and make him completely lose his energy to go to the movie."

"The upstairs is really strong, but can your boyfriend stand it?"
