China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 1209: No Need (Long Chapter)
Wanda Cinema Hangzhou store.

"Well, not yet. It's not that I don't want to queue, but I don't have the key even if I want to. You know, he won't give us the key.

Who knows what he and Mr. Wang did? Okay, actually The Great Wall is also okay. You know, I won’t mention it. ”

A middle-aged man put down the phone and looked at the WeChat group on his mobile phone. Several colleagues were asking each other questions. One said that the hall was sold out, and the other said that it was booked until tomorrow. They were releasing tickets all day long. I was really envious.

He was speechless. It was just watching a movie, but why did it seem like it became a trend? These nightclub owners and regulars must be a little crazy.

Looking at the Wanda regional group, everyone is discussing the huge sales of "Big Shot" and making all kinds of self-deprecating remarks. In fact, it's not that everyone can't accept not making money. It's normal for a cinema not to make money, but what everyone can't accept is that we don't make money.

There are obviously good movies, but they won't show them to us. Why? You have a conflict with Mr. Wang, so why do you have to hurt yourself? In everyone's opinion, if you don't show the movie to Wanda, you will also lose.

However, the losses are mutual. Maybe some people don't want to watch "Big Shot", but you don't have this movie, leaving me no choice. If it's not too much trouble, I'll go to other shopping malls to watch movies. What if I come out and want to watch "Big Shot"?

This is something I can choose not to watch, but you can't live without.

Many shopping malls also seized this opportunity and started the activities right away by hanging banners or playing broadcasts at the entrance of the malls.

"The movie 'Big Shot' is showing in the cinema in this mall. Everyone is welcome to come and watch it." The cinema is originally a place to attract people. Watching a movie, eating a meal, or shopping in the mall, none of them costs less than watching a movie.

It is also because of today’s revengeful movie-watching that shopping malls are also working hard to let more people know about the movie “Big Shot”.

"Lao Zhang, what does this mean? I saw many shopping malls saying that this movie can be watched in their malls. Can't movies be watched everywhere?"

"I asked. Oh, my granddaughter said that it was too difficult to buy tickets for this movie a few days ago. Today, there were finally more tickets lined up. She asked me to buy two tickets for her. I'll go and see it."

"I see. Children should like fashionable things. I will buy two and give them to my grandson."

Many people don’t know what this movie is about, but it doesn’t affect everyone’s tendency to follow the crowd. The more people buy, the more crowded the mall becomes. The more crowded the movie is, the more publicity the mall receives, which directly forms a positive cycle.

This is the system. A little bit of factors can cause big things, and they are all reasonable.

Nowadays, the promotion of this movie is completely about Shen Lang. On the Internet, Shen Lang's victory over capital has become a meme, and he is more famous than the movie.

It seems that suddenly not many people are talking about the news about him being a scumbag, or it seems that it is no longer mainstream.

Shen Lang also took a look at it himself, and he felt that the system had taken action and was able to search for things about his scumbag boyfriend, but posting this would not attract attention. If you could not get movie tickets now, or if you could get movie tickets, that would be attention.

People on the Internet understand that as long as there is popularity, they will just go for it, resulting in no one caring about Shen Lang's gossip for a while. Of course, it will only be for a while.

This also made many people in the circle feel puzzled. What's the big deal? It's just a movie. No one was discussing the plot. Instead, they were discussing who got the tickets.

Many people in the circle have received calls from people outside the circle. The meaning is very clear: you are also in the entertainment industry, can you get them some movie tickets?

Or you can just ask Shen Lang for an autograph. Many people in the circle would say that you are thinking too much. It can only be said that things are changing so fast that no one can figure it out.

Didn’t Shen Lang’s reputation plummet a few days ago, and his box office was not good, and he was about to become outdated. But from the current perspective, the word outdated has nothing to do with him.

Many news reports that openly or secretly said that Shen Lang was a big shot have also begun to withdraw. These were all some people in the circle who wanted to take advantage of the situation and scold Shen Lang. But now it seems that he is still stable.

Many people in the circle who originally thought that Shen Lang was immature and left "Detective Chinatown" directly did not plan to cooperate with him because he was too unstable. But now it seems that we have to wait and see what the situation is. We still have to give face to the young man.

At this moment, many of Shen Lang's ex-girlfriends are happy and disappointed, and many of them have dark psychology. If you are out of date, then whether I want to retaliate against you or take you down, there will be hope.

But now, you are about to return to full health. Although I am proud to have been with you, you are still so tall. Everyone's scolding makes you more and more angry and annoyed.

For example, Tang Yan. The movie box office is good at the moment. She sees fans coming out to promote "Big Shot" as if nothing happened some time ago. Now they are out to collect the dividends and don't want to contact Shen Lang at all. She feels embarrassed.

As for Wu Jing, it’s okay. After all, he doesn’t have many fans at the moment, and a high box office is also good for him, as it is a good resume.

What's even more exciting is that Shen Lang has recovered, so there's no need to worry about whether the many shots of Shen Lang in "Wolf Warrior 2" should be cut.

He was not trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune, he was just being responsible for the movie. He believed that even if the investors knew about it, they would not care, after all, the biggest investor was Shen Lang.

He actually knew Young Master Wang, but he had no intention of reconciling the two of them. He had tried to reconcile them before, but it didn't work.

However, he had also tried it out, and his movie should not be rejected by Wanda Cinemas. It was not the cinema's idea to escalate the matter. It can only be said that Shen Lang has become more stubborn.

Shen Lang stayed in his hometown for another day, mainly going to the next city to eat some delicious food. Some things taste different outside of these cities, even if the ingredients are the same. It may be related to some kind of bacteria. He didn't understand it, so he just came back to eat it.

There is no need to be too anxious. Wubai and Xiaotao are happy to enjoy it with him. The most difficult days are over. Although there will be big challenges tomorrow, looking at the current situation, there will be no problem in breaking one billion.

Don't blame them for not daring to think too much. Uncle Long and King of Sunglasses are still very intimidating. Besides, there are too many fans like Shen Lang watching the movie now. No one is sure whether passers-by will follow. It will take a long time for what is happening at the moment to be reported.

However, this only proved one thing, that is, after Shen Lang's reputation collapsed, his fans' support did not decrease but increased.

Previously, the box office of "Calling the Mountain" was less than 500 million yuan, but in the past few days, despite the suppression of screening schedules, the box office has reached the performance of "Calling the Mountain" during its entire release period. It can only be said that Shen Lang's fans are too powerful.

This time, everyone also saw the value of the three words "Ancestor". At every roadshow, there are more men than women. Normally, boys don't like watching movies, but with Shen Lang, this has completely changed.

All I can say is that if you want to understand why this is the case, you still have to work harder.

"This is halal beef noodles, made with buckwheat noodles. You should eat less as this coarse grain is hard to digest. Add a few meatballs." Shen Lang took Wu Bai, Xiao Tao and the driver to enjoy the food.

They would definitely be discovered, so they ate in the car. The driver went to buy food. Suddenly, his phone rang. He was a little surprised and hung up, as it was not convenient to answer it. Then the phone rang again. Shen Lang was really surprised that this person would call back after being hung up, unlike her who was so proud.

"Let me digest it. I'm going to buy a bottle of water. Director Wubai, let's go for a walk together." Xiao Tao saw that Shen Lang looked at his phone with a strange look in his eyes. No matter what the reason was, she took everyone to avoid him first.

"I was just about to say that. It's a good time to take a walk. I also want to eat that meatball soup." Wu Bai is very sensible.

Shen Lang saw that they had left, so he just picked up the call. In fact, he hung up on purpose the first time.

"Hey." Shen Lang said after taking a sip of noodles.

"Are you busy?" Liu Tianxian's voice was the same as always, as if she always sounded indifferent.

"It's okay, I'm eating." Shen Lang said.

"So early?" Liu Yifei looked at the time. It shouldn't be that early.

"It's normal to go back to your hometown and eat and drink. Why are you looking for me? Don't congratulate me on the box office success or anything like that." Shen Lang asked.

"I want to apologize to you and explain why I haven't responded to the news about our relationship."

"Uh, why are you explaining to me? Isn't it normal for you not to respond?"

"Why are you talking like that now?" Liu Yifei felt that Shen Lang had changed. When they contacted each other after their breakup, they always talked about things.

"Okay, Sissi, what do you want to say?"

"You, do you have a girlfriend, Taylor?" Liu Tianxian felt that something was wrong with Shen Lang, and he seemed to be in a relationship.

"Sister Fei, I don't think you're a gossiper. I'm going to be busy here, so let's get in touch later."

"Hey?"

Shen Lang hung up the phone with Liu Tianxian and smiled smugly, "I asked you to pretend again." He knew that the other party had no ill intentions and probably just wanted to explain something.

But he didn't want to hear it, mainly because he was single now and wanted to go back to his girlfriend, so he started to use those emotional stimuli again.

That's right, he really wants to go back to his ex. It's a pity that he didn't achieve some success with Liu Tianxian. During his dissolute period, his thoughts were really changeable.

He actually thought about dating Taylor, but he could never make any progress. It seemed that Taylor was the same. After being in so many relationships, he felt that the other person was too similar.

However, when he was with Taylor, he felt like a close friend, and he was afraid that he could not sleep with her casually.

Okay, the most important reason is that they were already asleep, which made a difference. However, he could also guess why Liu Tianxian took the initiative to call him this time.

Maybe she felt that she had talked to Taylor. Objectively speaking, Taylor was different from Shen Lang's ex-girlfriends. Shen Lang was confident and thought she was very strong no matter who she talked to. But Taylor was an international superstar, and she knew herself well.

It's not that I feel a sense of crisis, I'm just curious. The reason I'm here now is that I want to congratulate Shen Lang on his big sale.

However, after hanging up the phone, Liu Tianxian became more confident. Shen Lang wouldn't contact him immediately after he recovered because he disliked him for being too realistic.

This means that he still cares about his attitude, which is a good thing. Liu Tianxian just threw the doll aside. Shen Lang offended her this time.

He actually thought that she was trying to curry favor with him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. However, it seemed that his behavior did cause misunderstanding.

But she was not like that. In fact, she admired Shen Lang in her heart. He did things that people in the circle wanted to do but absolutely did not dare to do.

He confronted capital and didn't care about theaters. Who could be stronger than Shen Lang? He won the battle. This was what she admired most.

She was already free enough, but she didn't dare to do this. Shen Lang did what she didn't dare to do, so she admired Shen Lang.

However, Shen Lang's indifferent attitude towards her made her a little unhappy, and she also realized that she really cared too much about Shen Lang.

If Shen Lang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely give himself a thumbs up. That’s what I want you to think. Go on.

It's just that he has work to do at the moment, and he is the one doing the promotion this time, and he doesn't plan to be lazy, so just go ahead and get on with it.

In the afternoon, he flew to Guangzhou and started his roadshow.

The popularity of "Big Shot" is unprecedented today, because it feels like a refreshing article about fighting back from oppression. Many people engage in revenge consumption, reflecting an energy that surprises many people.

……

"How much?" Shen Lang almost spit out his food. He had thought that the box office would be high today, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Two hundred and ten million. You heard it right. It has exceeded two hundred million." She had just got off the plane and was surprised to see that the box office had not yet entered the prime time after so long.

If Shen Lang had broken 200 million in one day, it would not have been impossible, but since it took most of the day and was not in the prime time, this result was too legendary.

Shen Lang was very surprised. Nowadays, there are not as many cinemas as in later generations. The box office is limited, and it is still a weekday. You asked me to break 200 million, and we haven't reached the end yet. Are you kidding me?

Other people also knew about the performance of "Big Shot", and a lot of them started out as swear words.

"This guy is so lucky, maybe he bought the box office tickets?" said a tall man wearing a hat.

"No, it's just a normal box office." The cousin looked at Fanfan and said, "You think it's you? Only his supporters are called supporters."

He thought of the scene where his friend asked him for movie tickets for "Big Shot" and he knew that this movie was really popular.

"How did he do it?" Fanfan also joined the navy. The other party had a grudge against him, and he thought that his revenge had been taken. Even if the other party would not pull him in immediately, he could not stand out alone like before.

But who could have thought that reality was so cruel, in just a few days, the other party came back again. He couldn't understand why the other party's image as a scumbag didn't affect his work at all, and why those male fans didn't like to look at him. He felt sad and wanted to cry.

No, keep sending in the internet trolls. He kept looking through it and finally found out what Shen Lang said about being a scumbag. Why is it that no one is talking about it suddenly? This guy has become a hot topic.

Fanfan is deceiving himself. If he can't do it, he thinks others can't do it either. Two days ago, he and Principal Wang mocked Shen Lang, and now he is doing this today. This is too much.

……

Another place.

Fengfeng saw the box office information and felt helpless. His agent beside him quickly called Han Yan, with whom he had a good communication in the past two days.

"Director Han, Fengfeng has some new ideas about the previous script. Do you think you can come out and chat when you have time? I've arranged the schedule. Okay, let's come out and chat in two days." The agent hung up the phone.

"It seems that something unexpected has happened again."

"He is so tenacious. I thought he was about to fail, but he was able to come back." Fengfeng was speechless.

The person the agent contacted is Han Yan, whose most famous project is called "Go Away Tumor", which did well at the box office.

He has a pretty good project on hand, and many people in the circle know that he has been in contact with Shen Lang.

Shen Lang's movies have high box office performance. Although there are reasons for this, his vision in choosing movies has been recognized to some extent.

Now that his reputation has finally been ruined, many people are taking the opportunity to divide up his projects, but no one else can interfere with his own projects.

But some people who contacted him were a little hesitant. For example, Fengfeng was contacted by this work adapted from the comics. Some time ago, Han Yan actually asked him about his schedule.

He still wanted to take it, after all, he was considered a top star, but within a few days, Shen Lang came back and called him to make a dinner appointment to see if he could make an effort. Who would have thought that he would be politely rejected. He was going to be Shen Lang's bootlicker again.

This is also one of the reasons why many people in the circle hate Shen Lang. Shen Lang does not do marketing, and his fans can still brag about him, but people in the circle look at the results. Shen Lang's results are destined to make him the first choice of the protagonist for too many people, and this is determined by his box office performance.

The film's reputation had already plummeted, and everyone felt that they had lost a strong competitor. Shen Lang gave up his own advantages. Even if he passed this hurdle, he would naturally have nearly 20% less screening market share than others. Everyone was hesitant.

But after today's battle, plus what happened a few days ago, everyone feels that he can try harder. Shen Lang still seems to be okay. At the very least, not to mention the upper limit, even the bottom line of a movie, he has pulled the box office to a level that ordinary people can't even reach.

……

The big names who are on the roadshow for "The Great Wall" can't help but feel disgusted. Although the reputation of the movie is not good, they still have to work hard. This is the national master, and they have to give him face.

It’s just that the big names felt a bit embarrassed after seeing the promotional strategy. They were just posting on Weibo a few days ago, but now they are directly and unilaterally collaborating with others.

The Great Wall: "Welcome all the "big shots" to watch "The Great Wall". Young Master Zhao transforms into General Shen and bravely defeats Taotie."

This is a bit like an attitude of licking box office. Wanda has promoted it in all major cinemas. It is a costume movie starring "Big Shot". It is really shameless to do it just to increase box office.

Everyone is not shy, and an extra million in box office revenue is no big deal.

It's just a slap in the face to the big names. None of them combined can beat Shen Lang. At the beginning, they were promoting "Big Shot" but now they are just trying to ride on their popularity.

But seeing that the other party's box office exceeded 200 million, I was jealous. In fact, I had expectations for the overseas box office of this movie, but who knew that the overseas box office was even worse, which means that neither of them was pleasing. This investment was definitely wasted.

Da Tiantian secretly looked at the results of "Big Shot". She was happy that she had a good vision, but disappointed that so many big names combined could not beat him. She really wanted to win, even if she won once, she could show off proudly to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang suddenly received a lot of calls, congratulating him. They were all pretty much the same, and Shen Lang was very polite.

Everyone is realistic. He doesn't think that anyone is taking advantage of him. They are just congratulating him for a clear purpose.

He also received a call from Han Yan.

"Oh, about that movie, didn't Sister Tao tell me? Maybe I forgot because I was too busy. Maybe there's no schedule. Oh, follow my schedule. It's not that bad. I'm flattered by you. Brother Yan, let's work together again later."

Shen Lang hung up the phone. He would definitely not film "Animal World". Xiao Tao had mentioned this before. Because of his declining reputation, the movies he was approached to or was offered, but he didn't directly refuse, included this one.

He will definitely not accept it again, and he won't blame Han Yan. They are all working, and they can't risk failure by following you. Besides, they didn't say they would not cooperate, they were just hesitant.

It’s just that Shen Lang has too many projects. He has some impression of this project and wants to take a look. Now it seems that there is no need for this.
