Chapter 132: The theater takes the initiative to add more shows
"That's not true, the company is very good to me, and the contract directly mentions June Fourth." Song Changhao hurriedly waved his hand and continued: "It's because I'm kind to me that I'm embarrassed to refuse, and I want to make more contributions to the trend, after all, Li Dong said that as long as I participate in the filming of "Zhu Xian", the company's stock price will rise. β
Hearing him say this, Ge Wu almost had the idea of taking out a loan to poach people, and it was not easy for his family to meet this kind of artist who thinks about the company's future more than his personal future in 2020.
Li Qing is right, Song Changhao has two successful costume dramas as the foundation, and if there is another "Zhu Xian", shareholders and fund institutions will default that the third part will definitely be successful, and the price of a single episode of the TV series will not be cheap, at least not lower than "Prequel", then it is right to vote with your feet to buy trendy stocks, this is what the market expects.
But for Song Changhao personally, it is not easy to broaden the drama road, and there is actually a stereotype risk.
"If you really don't want to play me, I'll figure it out." Ge Wu said.
"Really?" Song Changhao's face was overjoyed, and then he shook his head and said, "Master, is it difficult?" If it's too hard, forget it. β
"It's not a big problem, it's still what I just said, your master is different now, I don't mention the edge, it's the same as my own one, the trend, it's not too much to ask, and no one objected."
"Thank you."
"Thank you, the master is not called in vain, maybe you will let you, a top-notch little fresh meat, play a supporting role for me in the future."
"That's just right, I can learn things again."
It's really a little mouth smeared with honey.
After not talking for too long, the staff came over to inform them that they were ready to enter the venue.
At the recording site, Ge Wu, who was wearing a suit, appeared first, and as soon as the audience's boos sounded, Song Changhao, Zhang Mingxi, and Chen Chen, the three leading actors of "Prequel" dressed in costumes, followed the stage, and the boos suddenly changed to earth-shattering applause and shouts, shouting "Brother Xiaoyao, Ling'er, Yueru." β
Ge Wu secretly gave Lin Chengliang a thumbs up, reliable, save his buddies and water and fire.
When everyone arrived, Lin Chengliang said: "Let us applaud again to welcome the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Prequel" and "Clever Escape" to "Weekend". β
The links of variety shows are almost the same, talking about filming routines and jokes, praising directors, actors, and screenwriters.
The audience at the scene should still find it interesting, they may have seen it from other programs, and it is a different taste to hear people talk about it in a different way, and applaud from time to time.
But Song Changhao was about to talk about it, and the same trivial things were said over and over again, basically a photo appeared on the big screen, and they all knew what to say, but they still had to pretend to talk about it for the first time.
Talking about the plot of "Prequel", Lin Chengliang took the opportunity to lead the topic to the screenwriter.
"Mr. Ge, when will the movie script you wrote be released?"
As soon as Ge Wu raised the microphone, the voice of June 1 sounded in the audience.
"I've learned to answer." Ge Wu couldn't help laughing.
After more than half a month of variety show baptism, most of his and "Prequel" fans should have been covered, and there is no point in talking about it more.
β¦β¦
With such an intensive and high-quality movie promotion, the two teams recorded popular variety shows, which are basically the top programs of satellite TV, and the slightly weaker ones can't line up at all, who made "Prequel" popular.
Of course, Fengmang's strategy of relying on the popularity of old dramas to promote movies has also aroused the dissatisfaction of the producers of the movie "Endless Life" in the same schedule, and the variety shows they were originally scheduled to promote were pushed by satellite TV, saying that they would give the green light to Ge Wu and the two groups of people.
So, it was fired on the Internet.
"It's another movie that cuts leeks and tricks fans of TV series into buying tickets in the cinema."
"Movie theaters are not stupid, do you really think that the movie is good, will it give such a low schedule? It's definitely not optimistic. β
"Maybe this schedule is also given for the face of the TV series and deceives the audience on the first day."
"Didn't you see that Ali Cinema only has two shows in the early morning and 8 o'clock in the morning on June 2nd, it is still the investor of "Prequel", theoretically it wants to give some face, especially since this screenwriter has made so much money for it, and there is only so much, which shows how bad "Clever Escape" is."
β¦β¦
As a film practitioner, the crew of "Endless Life" naturally knew about the theater's boycott of Ge Wu, but the public didn't know that they were really persuaded by their statement that the reason for the result was really dissuaded by some of the audience who were ready to buy tickets to support.
And Ge Wu, who was recuperating at home and waiting for the movie to be released and continue to run the roadshow, naturally knew this kind of public opinion, originally he felt that he didn't care, after all, the audience would rush to answer when the show was recorded, which proved that it was indeed a bit excessive.
But later, the sharp announcement checked the historical news of the people who spoke in "Endless", okay, openly and secretly "blackmailing the audience", if the box office of the movie does not reach 1.5 billion, it will not make a sequel to a previous movie.
Damn, it's all a thousand years of chatting, what kind of fox do I pretend.
He asked the sharp people to take screenshots of the other party's previous words, and he posted pictures one by one separately "@", leaving a message: "How is the film "Clever Escape", I won't say more, it has the nature of Wang Po selling melons. As for director @Tan Qiusheng, @ζΌεθεΏε¦, @ζΌεεζζ°...... Talking about my popularity, hehe. β
As soon as this thing was released, netizens suddenly came to the spirit, and some of them stood on the side of "Endless Life", after all, they are famous directors, first-line actors and actresses, and they also have excellent historical achievements.
There are also those who stand on Ge Wu's side, even if he is popular, but "Prequel" and "Fairy Sword" are indeed his scripts, and this kind of operation can be understood as the drainage of the Internet era.
There are also some people who want to see what other melons there are, and the two sides actually sprayed each other head-on, but they didn't break the news until the day of release.
β¦β¦
"Two "Clever Escapes" at one o'clock in the afternoon." In the Yida Cinema in the magic capital, the men and women in the queue finally arrived at the counter.
"No, there's only one left."
"What about the 3 o'clock?" The two didn't want to buy just one, so they asked about the next session.
"The 3 o'clock show is gone, and the 9 o'clock one is also gone."
"This."
The boy was speechless and ran to the cinema at 9 a.m., only to tell him that it was all sold out at night.
He looked at the electronic screen behind the staff, there were only three shows today, and now it has prompted that today's show is sold out, and the ticket just now was also bought by a person next to him.
complained about why there were not more shows, obviously so many variety shows have been advertised, but there is still only so much.
The staff couldn't help it, after all, this was the arrangement of the theater, so they asked casually: "Handsome guy, tomorrow's or?" β
"Yes, what time is it tomorrow?"
"There are 10 seats left at seven o'clock in the evening."
The boy paid for two tickets, and in less than 1 minute, the 7 o'clock show tomorrow night was also sold out.
β¦β¦
June 1st, how to say it, not good or bad.
Most parents take their children to watch cartoons, and they buy three or four tickets, and on Children's Day, they have to give their sons and daughters a holiday after all.
So the theater is happy to give more cartoons during this time, no matter what the plot is, and the children can't understand it, anyway, the tickets are sold, and the snacks are also sold.
Children, drink too much to go to the toilet, and dare not go alone, parents naturally have to accompany, along the way through a certain theater, there is laughter, and "! It's so funny! A voice rang out.
"It's really unqualified."
The parent complained and went to the toilet with the child, and when he came back and passed by, the laughter was louder than just now.
"What kind of film is so funny, and it is arranged in this hall, and I have the impression that there are quite few seats in this hall."
Gently push open the door, okay, there are many people standing in the aisle, all of them are an adult and a child, and the child is still pulling the parents' pants and urging them to hurry back to watch cartoons.
"I'll see for a while, and I'll buy you ice cream later."
The parents twitched their shoulders, stared ahead, and said without looking back.
On the screen in front of him, Gu Wei faced Ge Wu, who urged Han Jianfa to sing, and said nonsense: "This girl's surname is 'Dan', and her name is 'Cotton'." β
Then, the original audience in the hall, as well as the parents who came to watch the movie, enjoyed a courtship folk song in hilarity.
"Playing cotton, playing cotton, half a pound of cotton is played into eight, two, eight."
β¦β¦
"That girl is going to get married~! Wow, wow! β
β¦β¦
"Why don't you sing?" Shaozuo "Ge Wu" questioned Qin Gui "Gu Wei" with a fierce face.
"My voice is so beautiful that it will bring the girl in." Qin Guidao.
"Then you sing!"
"Playing cotton and young springing cotton...... A-Ying, A-Ying, where are you ......" Qin Gui sang with a sad face, but his daughter-in-law came to the temple by chance, and finally persuaded the other party to leave.
Shaozuo asked him: "Why did you let the flower girl run away?" β
"My singing voice alone attracts a flower girl, and a group of us can attract a group of flower girls!"
"Really?!"
"Didn't you see it all!"
Then, the devils sang "Playing Cotton" under the command of Shaozuo "Ge Wu", and as a result, dozens of militiamen were brought over.
β¦β¦
Many people can only use "slot" to express the plot of this paragraph because of the lack of expensive words, which is too spoofed, especially Gu Wei, Shang Qiang, and Han Jianfa singing "Playing Cotton", not only the interaction between the "singer" and the "devil masses", but also the kind of movement and lens of Western classical musicals.
Time passed unconsciously, and it wasn't until the lights in the hall suddenly turned on that the audience realized that the movie was over.
The parents who led the children rushed out with their children in their arms as soon as possible, and the parents who were the first to run to the ticket office put their children on the table and shouted: "Just that anti-Japanese war comedy, are there any more today, come to four." β
"It's gone."
"Tomorrow, too."
"There are only 11 o'clock left tomorrow night, and there are two left."
"No, it won't."
The staff handed over the four movie schedules, and the seats on the first three were densely painted with "X", and only the last one had two empty seats in the corner at 11 o'clock at night.
"Sell so fast! At 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow, four of them will come. β
The staff also checked for a while and said, "I'm sorry, it's gone, there are still at 1 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon." β
"That's three."
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, the score of today's movie on the Internet has come out, "Clever Escape" has a score of 6.9, and as more and more people watch the following scenes, the score is still changing, upward.
"When I first watched it, I felt a little child's play, and a few laughs were a bit old-fashioned, but I didn't expect to come to such a play at the end, and tears came out of laughter."
"The last paragraph can be called a model of self-talk, cross-server chat."
"I'm going crazy laughing when I watch it, @ι‘ΎδΌ, Shang Qiang, Han Jianfa, you guys hurry up and make your debut!"
"It's crazy to laugh together, especially the shaking of the heads of the last three people, I can't laugh anymore."
"I don't know who designed the action."
"I don't care about the action, I just want to know where to listen to 'play cotton'!"
β¦β¦
As the most brilliant part of the movie, there are naturally a lot of people discussing, and the directions are also varied, with jokes, songs, and acting skills.
Fans are analyzing the performances of Ge, Han, Gu, and Shang with words, and they just hate that there is no video and there is no way to explain it frame by frame.
The focus is on the changes in the eyes of Gu and Han, showing the emotional changes vividly, and shouting for the first time I feel what good acting skills are.
Many people listen to what they say so mysteriously, they want to go and see it again.
Many people said that because of the small number of films, tomorrow's ones have been sold out, and they can only buy the third day, and they are all the same times as during working hours.
β¦β¦
"Clever Escape" became popular, and won 7% of the film schedule on the first day, with a box office of 45 million, ranking fourth on the day, only behind the film schedule of 30% and 24% respectively, the two cartoons of 40 million and 26 million.
and "Endless" won 60 million box office with 15% of the film schedule.
Some fans who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement left messages under the news that Tan Qiusheng, Xiao Xinyan, and Li Pengjie mocked "Clever Escape" in the first two days.
"The theater chain has no vision like you, and this kind of film only gives 7% of the film schedule."
β¦β¦
The crew of "Endless Life" was holding a celebration party at the time, in fact, 15% of the scheduled films had a box office performance of 60 million, which was good.
So in the face of complaints, they were also very angry, and left a message on the Internet: "Several Davids have nearly 15 advertisements for popular variety shows, and they only had such a box office on the first day?" @θιΎ, sharp film and television, the water army is a little early. β
Similarly, Ge Wu and the others are also holding a celebration banquet, and after eating this meal, they will have to live a life of flying around for half a month.
"What's going on in the minds of these people? Didn't you learn math well in elementary school, and you can't do such a simple division? Gu Weidao, this is the first time he has acted in a movie as the male number one, with such a low film schedule and such a high box office, he is in the right mood to be brought out like this, and the other party is not @ him to stir up trouble, so he is classified as "etc".
Gu Wei immediately asked for the phone number of the theater party that called Chang Renhao just now and took the initiative to ask for more film scheduling, and asked them to take a few photos.
Not long after, Gu Wei posted a few pictures on Weibo.
"All the screenings of "Clever Escape" on June 2 were sold out, and there were still empty seats for the 7 pm session of "Endless Life".
