Chapter 104: I'm Targeted, Is There a Problem? (4/4)
After a brief investigation, the source of this smear force is the other side...
The reason is very simple, "Ruffian Heroes: All-Out War" in the same schedule...
In fact, the only movie released on the same day as "Painted Skin 2" is the animated film "Sail Movie", and "Ruffian Hero" has been released for a week...
There is also a new film "Dawudang" to be released next week.
"The Four Famous Catches" was released half a month later.
In terms of normal market competition, there is no need to smear it like this!
But just normally.
"Ruffian Hero" failed to beat "Suit Thug", which has been in theaters for half a month, at the box office on the first day of release...
These two movies are both action movies and have the same genre, but the reputation of "Ruffian Hero" is too bad, and there is no awesome cast lineup - except for the second male who found Huang Bo...
But the selling point of action dramas is action stars, and Huang Bo has nothing to do with action stars!
Huang Bo can't count on it, can he count on Zhao Youting?
Who rides a horse knows who this is?
But the resources are against the sky, and the behind-the-scenes team that cooperates is all big directors...
It's the Taiwanese version of Jing Tian!
Da Tiantian is good-looking, there is a gold owner behind him, what does he have?
Got a good dad?
Zhang Mo's father is called Zhang Guoli, and he doesn't have any good resources, at most he plays a supporting role in high-quality projects.
Also a plastic surgery version of acting?
Why do you need to add the prefix plastic surgery?
Because he looks ugly!
Shen Xudong called Gao Jun directly: "Let Jiahe Cinema directly screen "Ruffian Hero", in addition, in the future, all Zhao Youting's movies will be ranked the lowest for me, and what is the director's name..."
"Cai Yuexun!"
"In the future, movies related to him will be directly blocked..."
"I'm worried they'll sue!"
Shen Xudong was speechless: "... Love to tell or not, afraid of him? ”
"Destruction of unity..."
"Still united? Who to unite? ”
Gao Jun made a suggestion: "It's too much to screen directly... I think I can leave a morning session or a midnight session..."
"Has anyone gone to see it? Leave the morning show for The Hunger Games, which was released a few days ago! ”
“… Well..."
"By the way, I'll give Sihai a breath over there..."
"Hmm..."
Sihai Distribution, which is a hairstyling company formed by four cinema chains, "Painted Skin 2", "Painted Skin 2", they also participated in the distribution, so "Painted Skin 2" was engaged in this matter, of course they also have the right to know!
……
After the release of "Painted Skin 2", it occupied 80% of the market for 7 consecutive days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 400 million in seven days!
4 working days, the single daily report is more than 35 million!
According to the forecast, at least another 200 million will be collected by the end of the next week.
As for the total box office, the accurate prediction is around 850 million.
Although the current box office has only passed 400 million, it does not prevent the boast of the marketing draft...
However, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun's absence from publicity is still very annoying!
Shen Xudong couldn't understand why Chen Kun was absent from the publicity.
Is it to show righteousness?
Well, he ate with Chen Guofu and Hua Yi - Chen Kun took over the filming of the TV series "You Must Have" in order to join Huayi, but unfortunately this drama did not explode, and the Huang brothers were not optimistic about him.
He has a good relationship with Zhou Xun, so now that the Zhou Xun team has collapsed with "Painted Skin 2", Chen Kun naturally followed suit...
Shen Xudong... Very simple internal notice never cooperates...
I didn't use all my energy to block it...
Pulled back, "Painted Skin 2" accounted for 80% of the market, and other movies were miserable, especially after "Ruffian Hero" was abandoned by the four major theaters, the single-day box office plummeted...
The publisher is Hualu Baina, and I heard the order from Shen Xudong...
Of course they know because - how could the publisher not know about the propagandist's purchase of the trolls?
Then, they informed the producer of the matter, and then, a group of media worked: "The results of "Ruffian Hero" should have been better, but the movie was squeezed in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and other cinemas scheduled more than 15%, while they only ranked 1%, which is really too much!"
"Ruffian Hero" is a cross-strait co-production, a cooperation between cross-strait films, and we should not suffer this kind of treatment! ”
This time, Shen Xudong replied quickly, directly reprinted the relevant reports, and then commented: "Stupid, big bad movies still want to have high-ranking films, how old are you?" It's the same action movie, look at "Suit Thug", and then look at "Ruffian Hero", garbage with a capital letter! No wonder you can't sell Southeast Asian copyrights! ”
Then, some experts mentioned the Paramount Act - the so-called Paramount Act is that large studios own large theaters at the same time, internal monopoly, and then it is not allowed to own studios at the same time...
Prevent monopolies!
This is quite ridiculous, because from the actual effect, it is useless, several major studios have their own TV networks, screening channels, if the Paramount Act is really effective, why does Disney do Disney+?
Isn't this Nima a monopoly?
This time, there is no need for Shen Xudong to come forward, Gao Jun directly gave an example of Sumner Lei Shidong, the boss of Paramount, and at the same time runs the family's Showcase theater chain...
In fact, after Reagan took office, the U.S. government loosened regulations on companies in many aspects, including the relaxation of antitrust restrictions, believing that vertical integration would not harm market competition.
Capital from all walks of life soon set off a rush to buy in Hollywood: first Murdoch bought Fox, then Times Group and Warner announced a merger, Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures were sold to Sony and Panasonic respectively...
……
Studio, Shen Xudong is writing a script...
In fact, it is an integrated script - "Tang Detective 2", the story of "Tang Detective 2" continues to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, the main story is to solve a murder case, based on the "Crime Hunting Guide" of stealing life...
——The college entrance examination was impersonated, and it was originally a rich life that belonged to him, but now he has become a different person...
This kind of thing is not without cases in China, but it is not easy to shoot in China!
In addition, how to mix comedy elements in such a main story, and inform the existence of Q by the way...
It's a test of screenwriting skills.
Therefore, Shen Xudong found seven or eight screenwriters to create together.
He is responsible for integrating...
Just as I was looking through it, there was a knock on the door: "Come in..."
Well, it's Chen Xi...
As soon as the latter entered the door, he poured himself a glass of water, poured it violently, and then said: "I was asked by the leaders of the Film Bureau to teach me a serious lesson!" ”
“… What's education? ”
"Let's not target cross-strait co-productions..."
Shen Xudong put down the script in his hand: "Neuropathy... Whoever wants to target it, it doesn't come to provoke me, I don't even bother to deal with it..."
"I said the same thing... I even said that Xudong is not interested in these, and he is too lazy to participate in the Golden Horse Awards! ”
"And then?"
“… They let you go and get an education too..."
Shen Xudong was speechless: "Your brain is in water, right?" I'll just say that the market economy, if they don't sell out, we won't schedule films, what can be the problem? ”
"Can't this little comrade tell the difference between southeast and northwest? The two sides of the strait and the three places are in harmony, what do you want to do? Do you want to be a historical sinner? ”
"Who told you?"
“… It seems to be the deputy director, what is it called, I forgot..."
"Sensei take care of him, let me tell you that I just admit it directly, what can be the problem? Can he deprive me of my right to make movies? ”
“… He can be on the audit..."
Shen Xudong asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the current Chinese films can be sold by companies that have a back in addition to us?" ”
“… Also. ”
"Have you talked about "Journey to the West"?"
“… Zhong Lifang told me that 300 million to buy out the copyright in Asia... Stephen Chow's side still wants box office dividends..."
"He's got water in his head? 300 million is not enough? ”
