Chapter 404: Anti-Sniping!
On the evening of August 21.
The Chinese film industry has been earthquaked!
The earthquake involved Huaxia Wangda, Yongxin, Macaria, Boda and other cinema groups......
["Infernal Affairs" has been treated unfairly! 】
[Photos, videos, and recordings exposed! ] "Night Walker" is suspected of stealing the box office, operating in the dark, and suppressing "Infernal Affairs"]
[The daily box office was stolen close to five million! ] How painful is the darkness that "Infernal Affairs" has experienced these days? 】
【……】
"Focus News", "CCTV Online", "Yanjing Media", "Huaxia Entertainment", ......
Countless mainstream media reporters rushed to major theaters at the same time, and almost threw the microphone on the staff of the theater.
"It's none of our business! These are temporary workers, and our top brass doesn't know anything about it......"
"We really don't know about this, we are actually fans of "Infernal Affairs", and I recommended "Infernal Affairs" on Weibo a few days ago!"
"It's temp workers, and now we've fired them......"
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, you asked me a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times, and my answer is the same, I really don't know ......"
“……”
Under the lens.
Zhang Qian, the marketing manager of Wanda Cinema Line, had a bitter face, and he was both shocked and angry in the face of the sudden arrival of countless reporters, no matter how the reporters asked, he denied it.
not only denied it, but even launched an entry form for new employees, saying that during the time when "Infernal Affairs" was released, he had been on a business trip and had no idea what was going on.
When the relevant investigation department intervened, the marketing manager of Wanda Cinema Line was still like this, determined that he didn't know anything.
When the relevant departments wanted to investigate the deputy managers, they found that the deputy managers had officially submitted their resignation letters as early as yesterday and had disappeared.
That's how Wanda Cinemas looks......
"I don't know!"
"We are all scheduled normally according to the regulations, and we will also refund those who refund the tickets!"
"We don't have a handwritten ticket, how can we do such unprofessional things......"
"Although we have an online ticketing system, many of our tickets are sold on the spot, and we don't need an ID card to sell tickets, we buy them if they want to buy them, and if they want to return them, we ......will refund them."
"We don't know!"
"How can we do such a thing as stealing the box office, if we have this brain, why do we still stay here and sell tickets, just do business and forget it......"
The staff of Yongxin Cinema Line were at a loss.
It's as if they don't even know what's going on, and they don't think it's stealing the box office or anything.
The relevant departments investigated for a long time, but there were no problems.
In the end, when investigating the group of fans who "sold tickets and bought tickets", they finally found some tricks!
They are all bought!
Along the way, he soon found the main messenger of this incident.
The main messenger is Zhao Sicheng, a former member of the Chinese Directors Association!
"Yes, that's what I did, is there a problem? I just like to do that, what can you do with me? Extradition me to Huaxia? Do you have what it takes? ”
"And, have I sinned? I'm not sinning at all, okay? Am I violating national interests? ”
On the phone, Zhao Sicheng's attitude was very arrogant.
He is arrogant and has his own arrogant capital!
You are outside of your home country and are already a U.S. person with a U.S. green card......
There is nothing anyone can do with him.
…………………………
"Damn politicians!"
James. Li looked at the box office of "The Departed" and scolded angrily.
In just a few days.
Christian followed Olsen with the poster of "The Departed" and has already traveled through more than twenty cities.
These more than 20 cities are all areas with a relatively small radiation range of Olsen......
Politicians need a glamorous image, while Christian needs popularity and box office.
The two are very similar to the story described in the Chinese idiom "embarrassed for adultery". Lee and the "Superman 2" team were sick to their stomachs!
[At Mr. Olson's initiative: 5% of the box office revenue of "The Departed" will be used for the welfare of the children in the orphanage, and 10% of the box office revenue will be updated with the equipment of front-line police officers......]
[Real superheroes are actually always around us!] 】
[California Constable Louis: This is the best movie I've ever seen, I've been crying, I'm so touched!] 】
[The box office of "The Departed" was robbed, and the police officers spontaneously came over to maintain order after work! ] 】
On the Internet, every hot news seems to be telling the social popularity of the movie "The Departed".
Christian's move is too ruthless!
directly turned the "Departed" movie into a social topic, and there was a hint of moral kidnapping between the lines.
Yes!
Especially when James. When Li saw that fans of "Superman 2" on the Internet were calling for "Superman 2" to also learn from "The Departed" and use 15% of the box office to do some charity, he almost fainted!
It's so ruthless!
How much is the investment in "The Departed"?
If memory serves, the movie costs less than eight million dollars!
How much did they invest in Superman 2?
Close to 150 million dollars!
Two people are not on the same order of magnitude at all, and they can't even be compared on the same level at all!
Fifteen percent of "The Departed" doesn't matter at all, people have already paid back their roots, and every time they are released, they earn it once, and they don't care about the fifteen percent of charity benefits!
What about Superman 2?
Don't see that "Superman 2" is now slaughtering in China and suppressing everything, but to really get it back, you have at least $300 million at the box office!
The return on investment is only the return on investment funds, which does not include the cost of time, energy, manpower, and material resources!
To put it bluntly, the box office of "Superman 2" has at least 400 million at the global box office, and you can almost make a small profit!
At this critical time, let him spend another 15% of the box office for charity?
Didn't this stab him in the artery, and the blood flowed?
Not to mention that the investors behind him are unwilling, even if there are no investors, the DV company behind him cannot be willing, this is completely stupid!
"Mr. James, what are we going to do? "The Departed" grossed close to $10 million, and we still only have $15 million......"
The assistant's voice rang in my ears.
James. Li did not respond, but watched gloomily as the discussion of "The Departed" on the Internet became more and more popular.
Even, according to the news, Christian followed Olsen to announce the next stop on the Internet, and the official website of the FBI of the next stop city has already written the words warm welcome, and even when he was in Florida, Deputy Governor Sergei announced that he would personally come to greet Councillor Olsen and others......
After all, Sergey is also a black man!
"Do we have a lot of black actors in Superman 2?" James. Li asked subconsciously as if he had thought of something.
"Not much...... Moreover, there are almost no black actors in "Superman 2...... Wait, no, yes, Mr. James, do you remember how many black hippies there were in Superman 2? They're villains, kicked by Superman......"
"Damn! Hurry up and cut out the footage of these black gangsters, don't let public opinion spread! "James. Li suddenly changed his face!
"Understand ......"
The assistant's face also changed greatly, nodded at the first time, and then turned around and left the office.
The current contradiction between whites and blacks in the United States is getting deeper and deeper, and the overall direction of the current United States is vaguely black and expensive, "Superman 1" is easy to say, one of the directors, Steve Doan, has black blood and pays attention to details, and there is no problem of black people playing villains, and "Superman 2" is directly him James. Films directed by Lee Indie......
In this context, it is very easy to be attacked by people with intentions.
When the assistant left, James. Li silently looked at the comments on the Internet......
OK!
Although there are various voices on the Internet, no one has attacked Superman 2 because of this problem......
James. Lee shrugged.
Did he overthink it?
Just when he was relieved and was about to continue thinking about the follow-up promotion of "Superman 2", there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office again.
"Come in!"
He saw the assistant who had just gone out running over in a hurry, and his expression was a little panicked.
"What's wrong? Ruijin? ”
"A new round of box office in Huaxia is out!"
"Don't worry, how much is the box office?"
"Our "Superman 2" only has a daily box office of 35 million yuan, which is more than 10 million less than yesterday!"
"What!"
When James. When Li heard this, the whole person was stunned.
At first glance, he thought Ruijin was joking with him......
But after seeing Ruijin's serious expression, his face became serious, and then he opened the box office information handed over by Ruijin.
At the moment when he finished reading the box office data, he was stunned.
"Superman 2" grossed 35 million on the 20th......
"Infernal Affairs" 30 million ......
"Nightcrawler" box office 7 million......
"What's going on!"
The huge sense of disparity made him can't help but scream.
Ruijin was also in shock, and after a long time of relief, he still did not recover from the amazing sense of drop.
In the end, he looked down at the latest news in Huaxia and muttered to himself: "The box office of "Night Walker" was found to be flooded and faked...... used some means to steal the daily box office of "Infernal Affairs" of nearly five million......"
After a great shock, James. Li struggled to keep himself calm, then snatched the notebook from Ruijin's hand and looked at the rest of the Huaxia news.
After reading a series of news, he felt incredible......
I thought that "Superman 2" was a movie that could snipe "Infernal Affairs".
But no one could have imagined that his "Superman 2" would be sniped in Huaxia!
