Back a few months ago.

Gu Miao gave Hou Bin a suggestion, hoping that he could give up the theatrical screening and make the movie "Armageddon!" Shenlong Fighter X-ray Energy Messenger" is broadcast exclusively on the Wanbao video website.

Unfortunately, Hou Bin did not agree.

He still has fantasies about the box office, and even if the movie is not favored, he still wants to land in theaters and try it.

What if there could be a miracle?

Under such a premise, Gu Miao also went with him. If he wants to go to the theater, then let him go, anyway, the company will not allocate funds for pre-publicity and promotion.

In other words, although this movie landed in theaters, the publicity and promotion were basically zero.

This is not Gu Miao's slamming the door.

To be honest, he is quite happy to squeeze out millions of dollars to promote the movie, even if he fails to recover the cost in the end, this loss is within an acceptable range.

But here's the problem......

Too much publicity and promotion, for "Armageddon! Dragon Fighter X-ray Energy Messenger", a "toy commercial", is not necessarily a good thing.

This involves a question of high or low "expectation".

Let's take an analogy.

Suppose that before the movie was released, Wanbao spent a huge amount of money on advertising on various media platforms to promote it, which whetted everyone's appetite and aroused the curiosity of countless people.

As a result, everyone walked into the theater and found that the movie they had been looking forward to for so long was actually just a "toy promotional film", so they must not be to death?

YY

Think about it from a different perspective.

Assuming that this movie was not announced, it was very low-key before its release, and not many people even knew about it.

The audience who didn't have much hope of entering the theater in the first place will not feel disappointed after watching it. Maybe you'll feel ...... Alas! Not bad!

Although it is a bit suspicious of selling toys, but the overall plot is decent, barely worthy of the ticket price, such an "unpopular" really shouldn't be, maybe I can Amway to my friends around?

This is Gu Miao's calculation.

He told Hou Bin that the movie "Armageddon! The finish quality of Dragon Fighter X-ray Messenger is mediocre.

If it is promoted in a high-profile manner, it is likely to backfire and arouse the dissatisfaction and anger of many fans.

Instead of spending a lot of money to be scolded for a bad movie, it is better to release it in a low-key manner and reduce the audience's expectations for this movie.

It might work wonders!

Hou Bin thought about it seriously and felt that what Mr. Gu said was very reasonable. Since the quality of the movie can't support high-profile publicity, it will simply not be announced.

And so.

Under the arrangement of him and Gu Miao, the movie "Armageddon! Dragon Fighter X-ray Energy Messenger was quietly released in mid-May.

……

There is no publicity, no heat.

The news of Wanbao's launch of the second theatrical version of the big movie is unknown to most people except for a few people who have heard of it.

Hu Yingjun didn't know either.

If it weren't for his son, who was in the first grade at Flip Bucket Elementary School, clamoring to see "Magic Dragon", he wouldn't know what kind of movie it was.

All right!

Even though he knew the title of the movie, he still couldn't understand what story the movie was telling.

It doesn't matter......

Anyway, his son wants to watch it, he just takes the time to accompany his son to watch it, it doesn't matter what movie he watches, the important thing is to enjoy the rare parent-child time.

Then again.

Such an unpopular movie, the box office was only more than 6 million in five days after its release, how did Tutu know?

"Zhang Shuaizi has seen it!"

Tutu explained seriously: "Zhang Shuaizi's mother took him to the movies and bought him a toy for the Magic Dragon, which is amazing." ”

Oh! So that's it......

Kids! There is always a very strange sense of comparison, and it is very uncomfortable to see what others have and not have it yourself.

No wonder Tutu pestered him, to see what magic dragon, it turned out that Zhang Shuaizi from the community came back to show off in the community after reading it, causing Tutu to want to see it too.

After figuring out the situation, Hu Yingjun immediately made a decision.

It's not just about watching movies.

After watching the movie, he still has to ask how much the so-called "Magic Dragon" is, if it is not expensive, he must give Tutu a whole one.

A toy!

If you spend a little money, you can make the child happy for a few days and let him integrate into the circle of children in the community, then Hu Yingjun thinks it's nothing.

It's a very traditional paternalistic thinking.

When Hu Yingjun was a child, he also experienced this stage of Tutu. At that time, he was very envious of a stationery box with a "pencil sharpening" function at the same table, but unfortunately his family was poor and couldn't afford it.

What I experienced as a child cannot be repeated in my son now.

If it's something particularly expensive, then maybe forget it.

But a toy doesn't make Hu Yingjun feel that he is used to his son. After all, at my son's age, it's not normal to like toys!

Hu Yingjun, who made the decision, immediately took his son out after saying something to his wife Zhang Xiaoli.

Destination, Vientiane Cinema.

Since the tickets were booked online in advance, when the father and son arrived, they didn't have to buy tickets again, and they just checked in to watch the movie.

"There are quite a lot of people!"

When he walked into the No. 3 theater, Hu Yingjun was surprised to find that there seemed to be a lot of parents who took their children to watch the movie today.

As far as the eye can see, the hundreds of seats are almost all full.

But this is also normal, after all, today is Saturday, and the children are on holiday. If it were a weekday, there wouldn't be that many viewers.

"Tutu, eat slowly!"

"The movie hasn't started yet......"

Just bought a bucket of popcorn, before the movie officially started broadcasting, his son had already eaten half a bucket, Hu Yingjun was speechless.

Don't know what to say anymore.

On the one hand, his son is really greedy, and on the other hand, he also wants to complain, is the amount of popcorn sold too small?

Obviously, it looks like a big bucket, but I didn't eat much and there was not much left.

Damn profiteers!

After complaining about the amount of popcorn, Hu Yingjun was about to go out to buy another bucket, and the moment he was about to get up, the movie began.

Mysterious above the moon.

The prince of the Demon Clan is plotting a conspiracy. And the earth of the parallel world, Xiaodu, who has returned to a peaceful life, has also discovered the traces of the former Demon King of Creation Mountain.

"Wuhu, the Dragon God ......"

Seeing that the Holy Dragon Concubine heard the call for help, she sent the Dragon God and the Dragon Sword to the earth world where Xiaodu was located. Xiaodu was in the earth world, and after successfully summoning the Dragon God, Tutu couldn't help but light up in his eyes.

It's so greasy!

The background of the earth world in which Xiaodu lives is roughly the same as the real world.

When the Ryujin appears in the real world, the earth pulls out the magic gun and fires the magic badge from among the tall buildings......

Crossroads, zebra crossings.

The Demon Badge draws a dazzling six-pointed star magic array, and the Demon King of the Earth makes an appearance! It was at this time that everyone found out.

It turns out that the Demon King of the Earth is so tall? In comparison, why does the Ryujin summoned by Xiaodu feel so short?
