Chapter 348: A Complicated Situation
Qin Yan has been wondering why there is a current box office gap between the two movies when the scheduling rate, attendance rate and ticket price are exactly the same.
Now it's all understood.
In order to lose to Davis, Li Yunlong secretly reduced the number of screenings of "Resident Evil".
It's shameless.
Fortunately, the scale of the theater chain under King's Landing Culture is very small, otherwise the box office gap will be even larger.
Yu Fei was also so angry that her face turned red, if she lost to the other party for this reason, she would not have to die unjustly.
"It's so shameless, who wouldn't be a scoundrel, I'll let our cinema screen all "Zombie Attack" later!" Yu Fei said angrily.
Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Movie theaters have movie theater rules, how can you show other people's movies at every turn, don't you see Li Yunlong doing it secretly." ”
"Hmph, I just can't swallow that." Yu Fei said.
Qin Yan shook his head with a smile and comforted: "Don't be angry, this bit of box office won't affect the overall situation, the real duel will have to wait until at least ten days later." ”
At the moment, both movies are very popular, and both have a good fan base, and the attendance rate in a short period of time is about the same.
Only ten days later, when the audience who has been following these two movies has all seen it and needs fresh blood to enter the cinema, that is the time when the winner is really decided.
In this way, the first week passed quickly, and the box office of both films exceeded 1 billion, although there was a slight decline in attendance, but the box office still dominated the same period.
……
Davis's face was very ugly, he didn't expect Qin Yan's strength to be so strong.
thought it was an easy thing, but the movie that I used all my resources to shoot didn't leave the other party behind.
Now the box office gap between the two movies is less than 100 million, which may only take a day to reverse.
Davis couldn't sit still.
He came to conquer the Xia film market, and he definitely couldn't be in the hands of a hairy boy
In Davis' opinion, if he can't win the bet in a crushing way, then he has already lost.
Picking up his phone, Davis dialed Li Yunlong's number.
"Dear Li, I think you can do the best, use your resources, and you must suppress the momentum of "Resident Evil"!" Davis said in a deep voice.
Li Yunlong's face was a little unsightly, he was also arrogant, and now he was made to do things by a foreign devil in a commanding tone, and he was naturally very unhappy in his heart.
But he is now tied to Davis's interests, and the last 200 million of the company has also been invested in the movie "Zombie Attack", plus Davis has a relationship with the Smith consortium, he can only endure this breath now.
"Mr. Davis, I know what to do." Li Yunlong said with a straight face.
Davis was a little unhappy when he heard this, he instinctively had a strong sense of superiority in front of Xia Guoren, and naturally he was very unimpressed by Li Yunlong's tone.
"No, no, no, you don't know how."
Davis said in a didactic tone: "Lee, it is not effective to reduce the number of screenings of the other party by stealing, you need to use more effective methods to defeat the other party openly." For example, you can mobilize public opinion to let the audience know whose movie is better and what the shortcomings of the other party's movie are. Of course, as the leading actors of the movie, Ji Jialiang and Xiao Muyu should also continue to run for the promotion of the movie, and I suggest that they can use some extreme ways to raise Xia Guoren's attention to "Zombie Attack". Also I would recommend ......"
Li Yunlong's face became darker and darker.
He thought that Davis, a foreign devil, could help him come up with some good ideas, but he said a lot of nothing more than looking for a water army to praise himself and discredit each other, and then let the male and female protagonists of the movie use methods such as touching porcelain and stirring up scandals to win the attention of traffic.
This is just the basic exercise of the film and television industry, and you need to tell me!
Unhappy and hung up the phone, Li Yunlong fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunlong picked up the phone and said, "Let the director of the Propaganda Department come to my office." ”
……
On the 11th day, the box office of "Resident Evil" was 114 million, while "Zombie Attack" was only 109 million, which was the first time that the box office overtook it.
Qin Yan was also relieved when he saw this situation.
The situation is not bad, this is only the 10th day, and there are still 20 days to come, I believe that if nothing else, "Resident Evil" will definitely be able to defeat "Zombie Attack".
The happy Qin Yan hummed a little song in the company, and at this time Qiu Ning suddenly came over.
Since Qiu Ning took over Qin Yan's game company, she has been so busy that she can't get along.
She first renamed Ogilvy Games to Shadow Games, and then after a series of operations, she brought the open beta version of the company's flagship game, War of Kings, to market.
Oh no, now this game is no longer called "Battle of Kings", Qiu Ning changed its name to "Honor of Kings".
At that time, Qin Yan's expression was wonderful when he heard this name, and he almost thought that Qiu Ning was a traverser like himself.
After the game was launched, Qiu Ning directly found Yu Fei as the spokesperson of the game, and the popularity of the game was achieved.
Then only half a month later, Qiu Ning upgraded the public beta version of "Glory of Kings" to version 2.0, and found Liu Feng, Pei Yueying and other artists under Magic Shadow Media to remake a live-action CG film, which aroused strong popularity among netizens, so far "Glory of Kings" has really gained a firm foothold in the game industry.
Of course, it's one thing to stand firm, it's another to be able to catch fire.
Penguin Company is not a vegetarian, so naturally they will not watch "Honor of Kings" steal the market share that originally belonged to "League of Legends", so they immediately launched some counteroffensives with deep pockets.
Send weapons, skins, characters, find superstars to endorse, find Qu Dad to write the theme song of the game, and then find a diva to sing......
Recently, I heard that Penguin Games is preparing to produce a spin-off game animation of "League of Legends".
After these series of operations, the number of online users of "Honor of Kings" has declined rapidly, and it looks like it is about to lose its status, which is very bad for Qiu Ning.
No, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and came to Qin Yan for help.
"Brother Qin, the penguins are too deeply deceitful, they simply don't talk about martial arts, you must help me this time." Qiu Ning said angrily.
Qin Yan looked puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not about "Honor of Kings" yet, you don't know how powerful the penguins' methods are, they ......"
After Qiu Ning's explanation, Qin Yan finally knew what was going on.
However, he did not get angry about this, but felt that this was the normal operation of a giant company like Penguin.
However, since the other party has led the battle to the entertainment industry, it is not certain who loses and who wins?
Sending game props is not enough, as for the game theme song......
Hehe, who wouldn't say the same.
"Xiao Ning, you go and call Yu Fei over, I'll record the theme song of the game for you today!"
Qiu Ning was overjoyed, hugged Qin Yan's arm and kissed him on the face, and then jumped out to find Yu Fei.
Qin Yan was startled, and hurriedly picked up a wet towel to wipe the lipstick marks on his face.
He has experience in this matter, and if he doesn't wipe it, Yu Fei will definitely have something to do when he comes.
