You must know that Ji Chengcheng was also in the stock market yesterday
Too many people have suffered heavy losses! No, many people who didn't notice the release of the movie "Chicago" were constantly reported in the news about Akio Morita and Howard. After Bruckner bombarded Ji Cheng, they all came to interest.
Ji Cheng's movie made by this guy? I must be criticized! Some people don't even know about Akio Morita and Howard. Who Bruckner is, but it does not prevent these people who have lost a lot in the stock market from wanting to take the opportunity to criticize Ji Cheng.
But you can't criticize blindly, right? At the very least, you have to know what the film is about, and then you can start critiquing.
As a result, a scene that made people laugh and cry was staged all over the United States.
"Eh, have you heard that Ji Cheng guy is going to make a movie?"
"Fack! I just heard that the movie tickets have been bought, and I am going to watch it later, to get a general understanding of the content of the movie, and then I will say that it is not good when I meet people. ”
"That's right! As long as we have seen the movie, even if someone says that the movie is good, we can come up with evidence to say why it is not good. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the movie, and criticize Ji Cheng fiercely after watching it!"
"Criticize this guy who can't die!"
"Be sure to make this guy regret his actions in the stock market!"
"To put it weakly, how much does it cost for a movie to survive at the box office? People can make billions or even tens of billions of dollars on the stock market casually, do you think even if we make his movie yellow, will he regret it? ”
“……”
“……”
"Then criticize too! Let him know what it means to regret it! Don't rich people like to engage in art? I have to let Ji Cheng know that his art is shit! ”
"Yes, let him do art?"
"Stir up his artistic dreams!" A group of people rushed into the cinema with movie tickets, wanting to criticize Ji Cheng after watching the movie!
…… The other side. There are also many people who were looking forward to the release of the "Chicago" movie, but they didn't know that it had been released last night, after all, the publicity of the current era is not as developed as modern society.
Modern society can build momentum through short videos, online self-media, etc., and some movies have even just started filming, and the release date has been announced.
Not in the current era. Ordinary people can only learn about it from entertainment news, newspapers, etc. However, not everyone has time to watch TV and read newspapers.
Naturally, many people don't know that "Chicago" has been released. It's not, Akio Morita and Howard. Bruckner's bombardment, coupled with a burst of coaxing from the media, suddenly came up in heat.
"Daddy! "Chicago" was actually released! I said I'd take Tina to the cinema as soon as possible! ”
"I heard that this movie is not very good, right? Don't you see that all the directors are bombarding? ”
"It doesn't matter if he's good-looking or not, anyway, Tina has to watch it if she likes it, she is a person who chases entertainment news every day, and it is said that she is very interested in the love-hate relationship between Madonna, Aniston and Ji Cheng, the domineering president, women, you know."
"Well, if a woman wants to watch a movie, you'd better accompany her."
"Outside of the nickname, the "Chicago" movie has been released!"
"Oh my God, it's finally released, I've been waiting for this movie for a long time!"
"I heard that the two female leads, Madonna and Aniston, are jealous of the screenwriter of this movie and financial tycoon Ji Cheng!"
"Wow, this movie must be interesting, right?"
"Let's go, I bought three movie tickets, and the sisters will go to see it together!" The popularity of the movie exploded instantly! This is like when some TV series or movies were released later, the filmmaker took the initiative to break the black news, and it was full of heat all of a sudden!
Suddenly, countless people rushed to the cinema when they heard the wind! There are so many people who come to watch the movie!
So much so that some movie theaters don't even have a place anymore! For example, the Cinemark Cinema near Beverly Hills, where Ji Cheng went yesterday, is currently playing a scene of the audience shouting for tickets!
"What? Out of place? What do you eat in the cinema? ”
"No, there are still screens, but other movies are going to be released......"
"Fack! Who wants to watch other movies? ”
"Reopen a theater for me to play Chicago!"
"We're going to see Chicago!"
"Boycott other movies and just watch Chicago!" The audience was in a hurry. Some are audiences who really want to watch this movie, such as dates, and fans of Madonna and Ji Cheng, Madonna, and Aniston
"Bloody love" interested in those people. Of course, there is also a mixture of wants
The people who "criticize" Ji Cheng, they finally put down what they are doing and rushed to the cinema, isn't it just to see the movie quickly, and then they can criticize Ji Cheng, if they can't even see the movie, how can they criticize it when they turn around?
So, the Cinemark cinema was full of shouts
The crowd of "protesters". In the end, the manager of the cinema was alarmed, and hurriedly ran out to appease everyone's emotions, and urgently called the head office to ask for more screenings.
Of course, not everyone has to look at it objectively. Some people think that since Marveler has not arranged many shows, there should be a schedule in other movie theaters, right?
For example, AMC Cinema. It's been the season lately, and the conductor doesn't have much to do, just sit there reading the newspaper and eating snacks.
However, at this moment, a young couple suddenly rushed over,
"Get me two tickets to Chicago, quick! Fast! If there are too many people to buy it later, you won't be able to buy it! The conductor was speechless for a while, what kind of movie actually made you say that you can't buy a ticket?
She stood up with tears and laughter, and said, "I'm sorry, "Chicago" hasn't been released in our theaters yet, why don't you wait for it to be released?" ”
"What? Don't you have such a popular movie in your cinema? The man's eyes widened. The woman even pulled the man's sleeve directly,
"Bruce, let's go, go to another movie theater to watch "Chicago", this movie theater is not good, it doesn't even show the movie that is on fire, we won't come in the future!"
"yes, go to another movie theater." Little couples come and go as fast as they go. The conductor looked at the backs of the two and pouted disapprovingly, saying that they are one of the best movie theaters in the United States, who cares if the two of you come or not?
However, as the gaffe develops, the conductor realizes how wrong his previous idea was! About 10 minutes later, the ticket counter was crowded with people who wanted to buy tickets to Chicago!
"Fack! You don't even have "Chicago" scheduled? ”
"You movie theater owners are funny!"
"Shet! I don't care! I have to see the movie "Chicago" today! If I can't see it, I'll ...... I'm quitting your movie theater membership! ”
"Yes, if you don't have Chicago, you will cancel my membership!"
"I won't come to your cinema to watch movies in the future!"
"What a broken movie theater! Even "Chicago" was not released? ”
"Junk cinema! Never again! "The audience was very emotional. Well, well, in fact, normal moviegoers are not so excited, the reason why everyone is making such a fuss is also due to the group of people who want to criticize Ji Cheng who keep fanning over there, they were originally on a whim, they wanted to come over and watch the movie to criticize Ji Cheng, how could they not see it today and come back tomorrow like a real movie audience?
So, they fanned those audiences who really wanted to watch the movie, and they made a fuss with the movie theater together!
The situation is getting bigger and bigger! Many movie theater managers couldn't resist the pressure and had to report to the head office!
The relevant persons in charge of the theater company responsible for scheduling the films were all blinded, they originally received an order from their boss to press the release of the "Chicago" movie, not that it would not be released, after all, they had signed a contract with Huaying Pictures, but they didn't expect the audience to make such a big fuss!
Report to the top!
"Boss, no! The audience can't see that "Chicago" is making a fuss! ”
"Many members also said that if they don't schedule "Chicago" again, they will quit their membership!"
"My Fack? So serious? Fast! Contact Huaying Pictures! ”
"Hurry up and schedule 'Chicago'! This movie is going to be a big hit! Wasting a minute is a waste of an opportunity to make money! "A cinema company!
Three cinema companies! Ten cinema companies! Almost all the theater companies in the beautiful country learned that "Chicago" was hard to find, and suddenly no one could sit still, after all, now the movie "Chicago" is only released in the Cinemark theater, how can these theater companies watch their peers eat with their mouths full of oil, and they can't get anything on their side?
No, many theater companies that were originally warned by capital and wanted to suppress the movie "Chicago" don't care if they don't warn from capital at this moment, and they are scrambling to contact Huaying Pictures one by one, demanding that "Chicago" be released in their theaters immediately!
There are also some theaters that have not signed a film scheduling contract with Huaying Pictures before! …… Huaying Pictures.
It was supposed to be early in the evening when everyone was ready to leave work. But the phones in the company rang frantically one after another!
"Hello, Huaying Pictures...... Yes? Are you from AMC Cinemas? Asking us to fulfill our contract now and get the Chicago movie out there? ”
"How many screenings are scheduled? A movie theater will give twelve films? ”
"Shellrick has to add five more films? My God! This group of cinema companies is crazy, right? ”
"Which cinema company are you? Going to show "Chicago" in your theaters? "Call after call!
The theater companies were so caught up in the hot scene of the outside world that they had to schedule "Chicago"!
You must know that at the beginning, many theater companies were warned by capital to press "Chicago", and now there is a polar reversal!
At that time, Ji Cheng was in Li Kai's office to talk about continuing to promote the movie during the release. Kevin. Dodd suddenly rushed in from the outside without knocking on the door, he seemed to be running all the way over, and when he rushed in, he was still out of breath, pointing to the outside and stammering: "Cheng...... Mr. Cheng, Mr. Li ...... Mr. Li, a lot...... There are many cinema chains...... Scheduling ...... Schedule films! "Li Kai didn't understand Kevin at all. What did Dodd mean by this, and said with a confused face: "Kevin, what are you talking about?" Ji Cheng looked at Kevin. Dodd looked like this, and took the initiative to pour a glass of water for the other party to drink,
"Speak slowly." Kevin. Dodd glanced at Ji Cheng flatteredly, and then after drinking a glass of water, the person also relieved himself, and then said quickly: "It's amazing!" Those cinema companies are crazy! One by one, they asked us to send the film copies immediately, saying that they were going to give us a temporary film tonight! Li Kai's eyes widened,
"Don't lie to me, you kid!"
"I didn't lie to you!" Kevin. Dodd cried and laughed: "You go outside to see by yourself, we are crazy to answer the phone, and many colleagues from other departments have been transferred to answer the phone, and they are too busy!" Li Kai was still a little skeptical, so he stood up and rushed outside to take a look downstairs, but he really saw that the phone in the office area seemed to have exploded, and even several producers were pulled to help answer the phone to talk about business, so you can imagine how hot it is!
Li Kai is capable in the end, otherwise he would not have been so successful in his career later, he immediately ordered: "Send the film copy to the major theater companies as soon as possible, and the theater companies that have not signed a film scheduling contract with us, call them and tell them to come to the company tonight, I will wait here for them to sign the contract!" ”
"Yes, I'll do it!" Kevin. Dodd rushed out again. Li Kai, who returned to the office, looked at Ji Cheng with a dreamy expression, the expression on his face changed from surprise to ecstaty, and he laughed and said, "Mr. Cheng! The first movie we shot and released independently is going to be popular! It's still the fire kind! Ji Cheng smiled, when he saw the audience's rave reviews in the cinema before, he knew that the movie was going to be popular, but he didn't expect it to become popular so quickly, like a spark burning the prairie fire, he asked curiously: "Although I thought that the movie would be popular, I wondered why I had to wait until the end of the three days after the opening of the painting to spread the word of mouth before it could become box office, why was the topic so hot all of a sudden?" ”
"I don't know, I'll call and ask what's going on." Li Kai was very happy, and quickly picked up the landline on the table and dialed a number to ask about the specific situation.
About a minute later, he hung up the phone and looked at Ji Cheng with a strange expression,
"Mr. Cheng, do you know why the topic is so popular all of a sudden?" Where does Ji Cheng know?
"I don't know, what the hell is going on?" Lee Kai put Akio Morita and Howard. Bruckner said it again when he publicly bombarded Ji Cheng, and then said angrily and funny: "I didn't expect these two people to help our movie come to a wave of free publicity!" Ji Cheng was also laughed at after hearing this, originally he was thinking that the box office of the movie premiere was good, whether he would take the opportunity to invest more and promote it well, but what he didn't expect was Akio Morita and Howard. Bruckner helped himself a lot, not only raising the popularity of the movie topic, but also saving himself a lot of publicity money!
…… Akio Morita and Howard. Naturally, Bruckner received these messages as well. They looked confused and disgusting as eating a fly, obviously the purpose of the bombardment at the beginning was to take the opportunity to stink Ji Cheng's reputation in the film industry, how did it become like this?
They don't know if Ji Cheng's reputation stinks or not, but the "Chicago" movie is a big hit!
Akio Morita and Howard. Bruckner almost reacted when he heard the news, both of them almost choked to death without a breath, Nima, is there any reason for heaven?
Can this also make the movie "Chicago" popular? Although they know that it is self-defeating and has created a lot of popularity for "Chicago", they are still a little unconvinced, although the popularity of the movie has come up, in the final analysis, content is king, if the audience rushes to the cinema and sees that the quality of the movie is not good, the box office will have to hit the street!
They still don't believe it, how good a script written by Ji Cheng as a layman can be!
