"Show me today's schedule and yesterday's zero-point field data!" In a movie theater in the United States, Zackerby, the boss who came to work in the morning, said to his employees, and soon the relevant data was sent to the boss.

"The zero-point field data of this "Pokemon" is so bad!" Seeing the zero-point field data of "Pokemon", the boss suddenly frowned, he remembered, because this is a movie released by 21st Century Fox, and the early publicity is quite hot, claiming to have an investment of 100 million US dollars, so the boss has added a lot of film scheduling to this movie.

The boss glanced at the film schedule and found that there were a total of 36 movies to be released in his theater today, of which 22 were this "Pokemon".

"You go and adjust it, and reduce the Pokemon schedule to about 10 tomorrow!" Zackerby ordered, and then sighed in his heart, the tickets for the cinema have been sold today, so it is impossible to change today's schedule, and you can only start to stop the loss tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zackerby felt a heartache, and even the whole day's work became unbearable.

On the other hand, the discussions between Megill and the top management of 21st Century Fox continued.

"I think this is a great opportunity, it's our last chance to recoup our costs!" Megill said eagerly to the executives, "Since Daqian is willing to buy our investment, then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can avoid tens of millions of dollars in losses!" ”

In the face of Megill's persuasion, Spike, the president of 21st Century Fox, hesitated, is it really appropriate to recover the investment at this time?

"Are you sure the film will lose money? Pokemon is a very strong IP, the game alone has sold 50 million copies so far, and if 10 million viewers can watch the movie, it will be a box office of $100 million!" Spike Road.

"It's definitely hitting the street, it's not like you haven't seen the data of the three elements of the zero point field, it's almost the same as the box office of those independent movies!" Megill Road.

"But history is not without subsequent turnarounds...... Moreover, his audience should be teenagers......"

"President, there are indeed movies that have turned the tables, but is this Pokemon the Silence of the Lambs, or is it the redemption of Shawshank? This is a movie with bells and whistles, specially for children, how can such a movie have such a profound connotation as those two movies, so as to finally rely on word-of-mouth to turn the tables! "Magill Road.

"It's true that the audience is teenagers, but teenagers won't come to watch movies without the company of their parents, and we haven't had a children's movie with a box office of more than $100 million since ancient times, and we can't attract parents, everything is empty talk, how can this movie not make more than $200 million at the box office, then we will lose money."

"In case ......" Spike is still a little undecided, and now "Titanic" with Daqian is about to be released next year, after the live broadcast of Boss Jia's shipwreck, "Titanic" absolutely does not have the kind of miserable start in the previous life, in the 21st Century Fox's calculations, "Titanic" can even have a dream first weekend box office of 60 million US dollars, and it will be able to have a high box office of at least 500 million US dollars in the future.

If the cooperation with Daqian is affected because of the Pokemon incident, then he may also be killed.

Just when Spike was hesitant about this, the secretary walked in and sent a new report to Spike, because all theaters need to decide all the films for tomorrow by 12 noon that day, so at this time Spike can already see the next day's schedule in all theaters in the United States.

"What, Pokemon's schedule on the second day actually dropped by more than 60%!" Seeing this astonishing decline in the number of films, this means that Pokemon's box office ceiling is basically a complete collapse.

"Okay!" Spike didn't hesitate any longer, he was convinced, and said to Mergill, "In that case, you hurry up and sign a contract with Daqian Group!" ”

"Yes!" Mergill smiled, and this time he could be regarded as a timely credit for helping the company stop losses.

"Also, you must be careful not to arouse the anger of the Daqian Group, we still have to cooperate next!" Spike added.

Megill's speed was very fast, and in less than half an hour, he returned to Boss Jia's room, and Boss Jia seemed to have foreseen Megill's return, and a buyback contract was ready.

Megill read the contract several times and confirmed that it was correct, so after Boss Jia signed it, he returned to the company with the contract and stamped it with the official seal of 21st Century Fox.

As a result, all 40% of the shares and earnings that Fox originally invested in Pokemon were bought back by Boss Jia, who paid $30 million to Fox.

Of course, as the distributor of this movie, Fox still has to collect a lot of distribution fees from Boss Jia.

With the contract, Megill left satisfied, and it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon, although the adults had already gone to work, but the children had finished their week's school, and began to leave school, each going back to his own house, and each looking for his mother.

No, there seems to be something wrong with today's script, which is that many children, especially middle and high school students, do not go home after school, or participate in group activities with friends, but gradually converge on the roads of the city, and finally move towards a point.

"Attention, there's a guest coming!" At the door of a movie theater, an employee who was dozing off at the ticket office was woken up by his own colleagues.

"It's really weird, it's only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, who is going to watch the movie at this point!" The employee who was woken up muttered that 4 p.m. is a somewhat awkward time for the film industry.

It's neither close to noon nor close to the afternoon, so there are generally very few people watching movies, and it's good to have a dozen people a day.

"Hey, it's still a bunch of kids!" In the end, the ticket seller found that it was a group of children who came to see the movie, about a dozen or so, chatting with each other, all friends.

"Sir, is there Pokemon today?" One of the tallest children asked, leaning on the counter.

"Yes!" The conductor hurriedly glanced at the film schedule, and then said, "The nearest one is the 4:20 show, and the ticket price is $12 a ticket, do you want to buy a ticket?" ”

"$12, that's so expensive!" The tallest kid exclaimed, the price was clearly a bit out of his mind.

"yes, I heard that this is a full 3D animation, and it cost $100 million to produce!" The conductor explained.

"Okay......" The tall boy went back to his friends, seemingly because the ticket prices were too high to overshoot their budgets, and finally the kids pulled out all the steel in their trouser pockets, and finally scraped together $144, bought 12 movie tickets, and happily entered the movie theater.

"It's really strange, doesn't this movie say that they only have 10 movies left? At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were people coming to see! The colleague next to him said with some surprise.

"It's a children's movie after all! It's not unusual for a lot of kids to come and see, and it's just the time they get out of school, but I don't think there will be too many ......" Before the conductor could finish his sentence, his eyelids jumped, as more than a dozen children appeared in his sight, and they all ran towards the location of the movie theater.

"Sir, I want to buy a ticket!"

…………

It only took 15 minutes, at 4:20, a total of 160 movie tickets were all sold out, and when the children who bought the tickets happily went to the movie theater to watch the movie, the children who were one step late could only buy movie tickets for the 4:50 show in frustration, and then wait in the movie theater for 30 minutes.

This makes the children who are lively and active by nature how to stand it, it is just too painful.
