Chapter 246: Labor Day is coming

In late April, the printing of "Those Years" was completed and it was sold well in major bookstores in Taiwan Province.

In this era of rapid development of the Internet, the online book reader does occupy the mainstream of readers, but this does not mean that the physical book reader is weak. Especially in Taiwan Province, the physical book market has always occupied the top spot in literature.

"Those Years" was originally uploaded to the Internet by Yu Xian, and it has caused a heated discussion. In addition, Yu Xian recently uploaded the theme song of the same name of "Those Years" to various well-known music platforms in China, and countless people came to buy "Those Years".

On the day the edition was released, 50,000 copies were sold in Taiwan Province alone. Of course, that's not even counting the one that was ordered online. Some of the people who bought the book were those who read it on the Internet and bought it to treasure it, and there were also those who followed the craze and followed the trend and wanted to try it. Whatever the reason for the origin, on that day, the major bookstores in Taiwan Province were besieged. The masses who came from the mainland to play, who didn't know, thought that something had happened again.

The most popular copyright sold in online books is traditional copyright, and almost all of these traditional copyrights are directed at one place - Taiwan Province. In other words, it is a work that is favored by the publishing house in Taiwan Province.

Yu Xian's three online works have also sold traditional Chinese copyrights.

As early as two days before the release of "Those Years", a new batch of "Star Change" was printed, and the two fire books danced on the same stage, which hyped Yu Xian's popularity to a high level.

There are still about two months before "Those Years" is released in Taiwan Province.

Yu Xian, Li Ling and others began to pay attention to the film schedule in Taiwan Province early.

When it comes to movies, you have to look ahead and backward when predicting the ticket side. In layman's terms, the box office will be related to the films released at the same time as the film, or the films that were released before or after the film.

Generally speaking, a movie will be offline about a month after it is released. If there are special circumstances, or if the film continues to sell well, it may extend the key timeliness, that is, delay the release time of the movie.

In other words, "Those Years" was released on June 1, and it was screened normally for a month without problems, that is, it was offline at the end of June. Competing with "Those Years" will be films that will be released from May to the end of June.

Movies shown at the same time will inevitably have conflicts and comparisons. If there are groups of good films in the same period, or similar films are piled up, then the competition for the films will be quite fierce, and the strength is not good, or the lack of publicity is very likely to be crushed by competitors. In addition to losing attendance, there is also the possibility of being withdrawn early. This will be fatal to the box office of a film.

June is actually a very awkward time. Because there is a Labor Day schedule in the past, and a summer schedule in the future. Most of the moviegoers also come to the theater to watch movies during the holidays, and the old rivers and lakes who aim at this point will certainly not miss this feature, so the Labor Day schedule and summer films are presented in a bunch.

From the beginning of May to the end of May, there are more than ten Chinese movie star-studded movies such as "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Green Snake Turn", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", etc., in addition, there are many low-cost emotional urban background movies.

Of course, almost every schedule is indispensable to highly anticipated Hollywood movies, and several seven-step movies such as "Cube" and "Mission Impossible" have been hotly discussed before their release.

In contrast, the number of films released in June is shabby.

But the shabby number does not mean that Yu Xian can rest assured, the movies released in mid-June are: "We Are All Bad Boys", "The Year of Abortion", ...... and so on, among which most of them are youth films, that is to say, "Those Years" will collide with similar movies.

Yu Xian found the trailers of these movies one by one and watched them, but fortunately, there was no comedy genre. Obviously, comedy and TV series are uncontroversially popular, but in terms of movies, the industry is still in a wait-and-see state, wanting Yu Xian, a rookie director who is constantly bouncing, to test the waters. It just so happens that this is also a good advantage for "Those Years".

These data are only about the cinema chain in Taiwan Province, and as for the mainland, it is another phenomenon.

"Those Years" was released on July 1 in the mainland, that is, in the summer.

At the same time, there were three Hollywood films, two Hong Kong films, and five domestic films from Stars and Stripes; There are countless movies that rub the edge with it. It can be said that the environment is quite harsh.

In addition to this, "Those Years" has a hidden advantage. That is, Taiwan Province released this piece a month in advance. If the box office performance of "Those Years" in Taiwan Province is outstanding enough, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the film, and word-of-mouth is the most effective publicity.

In short, the box office of Taiwan Province is crucial.

……

May.

Labor Day is coming.

In the first four months of this year, the quality of films imported or self-sufficient by Taiwan Province was not satisfactory.

In May, Hollywood, Xiangjiang, the mainland, and even Bollywood in Tianzhu Kingdom came to intervene and teased the movie-watching desire of fans who had been hungry for four months.

On May 1, the first day of Labor Day, the major theaters in Taiwan Province discharged long queues early, surrounding the movie theaters. In the reception hall alone, the queues waiting to buy tickets are already "fighting and snakeing".

The crowd is surging, like a raging sea!

Fans flocked to the box office, waving bills or vouchers and excitedly telling the conductor what movie they wanted to see.

"At eight o'clock in the evening, I want five tickets!"

"What time is the latest issue of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"? Give me ten tickets! ”

"How many screening slots are there for "Havoc in the Sky" in the past two days? Give me one of them all! I love acting the most! ”

“……”

"Give me a ticket for Cube."

"Sorry sir, the last three days of tickets for "Cube" are sold out."

"Then change it to "Smiling Proud Jianghu"."

"I'm sorry, there are only the last three tickets left for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" at one o'clock in the morning tonight, is it okay?"

“…… The last hour's movie, and which one is ticketed? ”

""Dirty Clouds, Ghosts, Ghosts, and Ghosts are Really Special Meow Handsome" has the most votes, and there are sixty percent left, do you want to watch this one?"

"Come on, it's a bad movie when you hear it...... Alas, withdrawn, withdrawn! ”

……

The conductor in the ticket hall was busy exploding, in addition to buying tickets on the spot, there were also many telephone reservations.

The frenzy lasted for more than three hours, and after more than three hours, the tickets for the nearly three days of hot reviews were sold out. The people who grabbed the tickets were elated, and those who didn't get the tickets were naturally crying and sad.

This scene was all watched by Li Ling.

"Tsk, it looks like the movie released in May can't be underestimated." Li Ling picked up the "Cube" movie ticket she had just grabbed in her hand and silently walked into the screening hall of the theater.
