reshape life
Chapter 57
With the help and guidance of Wei Linxuan, Lu Heng, who managed to register a game account and mastered most of the game skills, just came out of Xinshou Village, when he saw Zhao Miao who was sitting opposite suddenly stood up, with a very ugly face, and said in a hard tone : "I don't play anymore, I want to go home."
Lu Heng was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm not feeling well." Zhao Miao sniffed uncomfortably, turned her head away from Lu Heng, wrapped her fingers around the hem of her clothes, and said awkwardly, "Play by yourself, I'll go first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Heng's reaction, he directly picked up his coat and turned around to leave. He fled in a hurry.
Sun Shuliang, who was sitting on the sofa, was caught off guard, so he had to get up and said apologetically, "Xiao Miao is in a bad mood today, it wasn't on purpose, so don't take it to heart."
Lu Heng nodded and interrupted Sun Shuliang: "Don't worry, Brother Sun, I know Zhao Miao's temperament. I won't care."
"That's good." Sun Shuliang looked at Lu Heng with an embarrassing expression, his lips trembled, and said, "Thank you for coming to accompany Xiao Miao today, you are all good boys...then I will go first."
Lu Heng sent Sun Shuliang to the elevator door, watched Sun Shuliang get on the elevator, and when he turned back, he saw Wei Linxuan sitting in front of the computer Zhao Miao had just used, shaking his head and sighing: "It seems that Star Entertainment My first brother’s psychological quality is not very good, so I can’t bear it.”
Lu Heng stepped forward and saw rave reviews on the "Best Partner" page on Suanbian. Wei Linxuan also thoughtfully restored the "Feng Shen Bang" page that Zhao Miao had closed. Compared with the two, Even Lu Heng couldn't help sighing.
"It's no wonder that he feels uncomfortable after working so hard but not getting everyone's approval." When Lu Heng said this, he couldn't help but think of the rumors and rumors he suffered when his career was at a low point in his previous life, and he suddenly felt a little empathetic.
Wei Linxuan curled his lips disapprovingly: "Not all efforts can be called hard work, and not all hard work can be rewarded. The role of Jiang Ziya is not suitable for him. He has been in the circle for so many years. There is no such thing as a score, and it is reasonable to hit a wall. There is also a problem with his agent. A good agent should point out the direction for the artist and ensure that his career avoids detours, instead of being a nanny That's enough. If I were Sun Shuliang, I would not have agreed to let Zhao Miao play Jiang Ziya, but directly persuaded Star Entertainment to change the script. Anyway, this script was originally tailored for Zhao Miao, changing the protagonist from Jiang Ziya to Nezha, Not only is it more in line with Zhao Miao's image and temperament, but also the role of Nezha is very rich in layers, from the bear child who makes trouble in the sea to the broken arm, disembowelment, guts and bones returned to his parents, and when only the soul is left, he is still forced to be resurrected by his father No, in the end when all thoughts were lost, Taiyi real person used lotus root to reshape the human body, and then helped Jiang Ziya crusade against King Zhou... If this role is interpreted well, let alone the problem of transformation, maybe it can create a screen classic. The most important thing The most important thing is that after "Fengshenbang", Nezha has guest performances in "Journey to the West". As long as the screenwriter is strong, he can adapt "Journey to the West" after adapting "Fengshenbang", under the banner of the original crew continuing the classic , there are serial episodes..."
Wei Linxuan babbled a lot, and in Lu Heng's ears, he could only say that this person deserves to be dubbed a "planning genius" by the industry. If he follows this path, Zhao Miao's transformation It's really not a problem.
Lu Heng's heart moved, and he looked at Wei Linxuan with bright eyes: "Have you ever thought about poaching Zhao Miao to our Huaxia Emperor Entertainment?"
Wei Linxuan's chattering display came to an abrupt end.He coughed softly, and said perfunctorily: "He is the first brother of Xing Entertainment. Even if he failed a "Fengshen Bang", he is still a cash cow for Xing Entertainment. How could the local turtle company let him go...Let's talk about it later."
Having said that, in fact, Wei Linxuan is not optimistic about Zhao Miao from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention Zhao Miao's appallingly low EQ and handling methods, a child star who has failed in transformation and is about to pass away is not worth it. Huaxia Emperor Entertainment spent too much money and energy poaching people.The most important thing is that Zhao Miao is about the same age as Lu Heng. If Zhao Miao succeeds in transformation, then he and Lu Heng will be more similar in image positioning, and there will inevitably be more competition in career.Wei Linxuan is not stupid, why let his own family not support him, but to support an outsider?
But in front of Lu Heng, Wei Linxuan couldn't say anything.He knew his friend's temperament very well, for such a bastard, he didn't even attend the celebration after the premiere of "Best Partner", which showed how much Lu Heng valued this Zhao Miao.
I don't know where the second-year illness caught Lu Heng's eyes? !
Wei Linxuan didn't want to argue with Lu Heng because of an outsider, so he had to deal with it vaguely.
Hearing this in Lu Heng's ears, he remembered that China Emperor Entertainment would be able to acquire Star Entertainment in less than a year.At that time, there will be no need for Huaxia Emperor Entertainment to poach people, and Zhao Miao's management contract will be transferred naturally.
It was his own whim, and he acted too hastily.
Lu Heng hooked the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
what do you know?
Wei Linxuan looked at the confident Lu Heng in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Lu Heng turned off the computer and began to get dressed, Wei Linxuan looked at Lu Heng inexplicably: "What are you doing?"
"I checked the time. I guess Director Mai and the others are still in the hotel. We might be able to catch up if we go downstairs now."
Lu Heng originally wanted to see Zhao Miao and go back to have dinner with the crew, but Zhao Miao proposed to play games. Seeing Zhao Miao's depressed face, Lu Heng couldn't bear to refuse.Now that Zhao Miao stopped playing games, the two of them just rushed back.After all, it's a celebration organized by Director Mai, and the whole crew is there, so it's not good for the two of them to be there all the time.
Although the truth is so, when Wei Linxuan thought of Lu Heng running over for Zhao Miao without saying a word, Zhao Miao left in anger and then rushed back without complaint, so he came and went as soon as he was called... Wei Lin Xuan snorted coldly to himself, he really didn't like that second-degree illness!
As soon as Lu Heng put on his down jacket and turned his head, he saw Wei Linxuan sitting on the sofa with his face "baby is not happy for being neglected", with his arms folded on his chest with an unhappy expression.
Lu Heng leaned forward, sat next to Wei Linxuan, touched Wei Linxuan's shoulder with his shoulder, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you run around with me."
"Forget it!" Wei Linxuan groaned and hugged Lu Heng, with a flattered expression on his face: "I insisted on coming with you, and besides, you're not that second-year-old, why tell me?" sorry."
Looking at Wei Linxuan whose mood was turbulent in an instant, Lu Heng tilted his head inexplicably.
Director Mai Chengliang invited the crew to dinner at the Huaxia Hotel. When Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan walked from the guest room upstairs to the VIP box in the food and beverage department downstairs, Liu Jiawei, Liang Yulin and other leading actors were booing. The wine that is filled with wheat.
Seeing Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan push the door in, Director Mai Chengliang, who was trying to evade, put down the wine glass, looked at the two and said with a smile: "Why did you come here so late. You must be punished with three drinks."
Misfortune has been brought to the east. This is →_→
The main creators in the box all looked at Mai Chengliang with contempt, and there was really no way to tolerate Mai Dao's behavior of dragging children into the water_(:з)∠)_
Xu Baoyan was the first to jump out and object: "Director Mai, you can't do this, Xiao Heng is not yet an adult, so you can't drink alcohol."
After saying this, Xu Baoyan glanced at Wei Linxuan bewilderedly, and added: "President Xiao Wei is not an adult yet, so he can't drink."
Wei Linxuan: →_→!
It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful and unaffected girl!It's a pity that the horoscope is flawed_(:з)∠)_
Wei Linxuan silently picked up an empty wine glass——
"Although I am not an adult, if I am late, I must be punished. But Linxuan was late to accompany me. I drank his three cups for him." Lu Heng knew that Wei Linxuan's spleen and stomach were not good , didn’t want him to drink on an empty stomach, so he took advantage of Wei Linxuan’s lack of reaction and grabbed the glass from his hand, poured a full glass of beer and drank six glasses in a row, and then poured another full glass to toast everyone. The premiere of "Best Partner" was a success.
Everyone watched as Lu Heng drank seven glasses of beer without blushing or panting, and their eyes were stared straight. When Lu Heng finished drinking the seventh glass of beer and showed everyone the bottom of the glass, they all couldn't help but pat the table. There was a roar of applause.
Director Mai Chengliang, who is notoriously bad at drinking, shook his head and exclaimed with a non-standard gulp: "No way, Xiaoheng, how old are you this year, and you can drink so well?"
Xu Baoyan couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "You are so good at drinking, do uncles and aunts know?"
Lu Heng waved his hands with a smile, and said casually: "My grandfather and father gave me my drinking capacity. Everyone in our group is good at drinking."
Wei Linxuan quickly took a mouthful of food for Lu Heng, urging Lu Heng to eat the food and suppress the alcohol.I also got up and toasted everyone with two glasses of wine, one for apology and one for congratulations.
Director Mai Chengliang didn't push the wine out, but drank two more glasses, and immediately touched his stomach that was about to explode with a bit of bitterness.Afraid that someone would try to persuade him to drink, he quickly changed the subject and said, "I don't know how much "Best Partner"'s box office will be on the first day?"
One sentence aroused everyone's interest, and was praised by everyone at the premiere. The proud President Wei Zhanjie raised his eyebrows. He drank two more glasses during the meal just now, and he was obviously a little excited. He waved his hand while drinking, and directly suggested: "I don't think we need to break up this game. It's rare that everyone is so happy. Why don't we go to karaoke directly after eating here, and play until the early morning, and wait for the box office report? When the time comes, we can all know the first time, what do you think?"
Wei Zhanjie, as the CEO of China Emperor Entertainment, is also the producer and investor of "Best Partner", so of course everyone should support his suggestion.So the whole crew moved to the entertainment department of the Huaxia Hotel again after dinner, singing and drinking until the early morning, when the big boss Wei received a call from the company——
The box office of "Best Partner" on the premiere day was 2350 million, and the attendance rate of major movie theaters across the country was 100%
The people who were singing in the KTV box were all dumbfounded.
"Could it be a mistake?" Even director Mai Chengliang blurted out in disbelief and asked, "How could it be so high?"
Last year, the movie with the highest domestic box office in China only sold more than 3000 million at the box office. When "Shipwreck" was released in China, the box office only broke 1000 and 2000 million on the first day. Their "Best Partner" reached [-] on the first day. How much is it?Isn't this record a little too mysterious?
Everyone couldn't believe it, and looked at each other in a daze.Even Wei Zhanjie who answered the phone in person felt a little wobbly.
Wei Linxuan and Lu Heng are the two friends who are the calmest in the private room.The latter is because before the rebirth, he was used to the box office record of over 40 million on the first day, but the former smiled confidently: "In fact, it is normal to have such a box office. First of all, this movie is under the banner of the original crew of "A Action" It was filmed, and there must be a certain audience base. Coupled with the promotion and promotion in the past few months, everyone will definitely be interested in the film. Moreover, the film's screening rate in the country has exceeded 5000%, and only the big screens of China Cinemas It has already exceeded [-] yuan, and the time and place are right, so it is not surprising to have this first-day box office."
At this point, Wei Linxuan looked at his glorious father and asked with a smile, "How is the box office on the first day of "Fengshen Bang"?"
When these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Wei Zhanjie, who was extremely embarrassing and energetic.
Wei Zhanjie's face became more and more ruddy and shiny, and he stretched out a finger with a pleasant smile, and made a gesture of seven, saying: "700 million."
After all, it is the first oriental fantasy movie in China with an investment of 700 million M gold, and the publicity stunt of trying to compete with "Shipwreck" is still very attractive.What's more, "Feng Shen Bang" is not only under the banner of Hollywood's top special effects studio in the post-production period, but also has more than a dozen Chinese superstars joining in. In addition, "Best Partner" and "Shipwreck" have been bundled during the promotion period. These elements are superimposed Come to think of it, it's definitely worth [-] million at the box office.
However, after the premiere, the box office and word-of-mouth of the two films quickly spread by more than a large margin.
The box office of "Best Partner" exceeded 2000 million in the first week of its release. In addition to recovering the shooting cost, it made a direct profit of 250 million. In the second week of its release, the total box office directly exceeded [-] million, reaching [-] million.When the box office statistics came out, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was boiling. From this figure, everyone saw the hope of revitalizing Chinese films, and saw the hope that "Best Partner" would break the monopoly of Hollywood and break the record of "Shipwreck".
Things have progressed to this point, and it is no longer a matter for the crew of "Best Partner", but an important event in the Chinese film industry.In order to ensure that "Best Partner" will no longer have the embarrassing incident of "A Action" caused by the leak of the film source, the relevant departments will carry out the piracy crackdown during the Lunar New Year period. very strict.At least it will ensure that the source of "Best Partner" will not be leaked during its release.
With this guarantee, Wei Zhanjie simply held a general meeting of shareholders in the company, and proposed that when necessary, China Cinemas can extend the release time of "Best Partner", and must ensure that "Best Partner" breaks through 3.6 when it is released. [-] million at the box office, regaining the top position in China's movie box office rankings.
Such an arrangement would obviously break the rule that domestic films are only released for one month, but this proposal has won the approval of most people.After all, the main reason why the domestic film schedule is only one month is that piracy is rampant, and movie fans have been greatly diverted. If the theater insists on showing it, I am afraid that even the most basic screening cost will not be recovered.
But now, the screening of "Best Partner" does not need to consider this item, which also gave Wei Zhanjie and China Emperor Entertainment the confidence to increase the screening period of "Best Partner".
Compared with the high ambitions of "Best Partner", it has been bundled marketing with "Best Partner" during the promotion period, and it is extremely embarrassing to directly target the "Feng Shen Bang" of "Sunken Ship".
As the first special effects masterpiece in China with an investment of more than 700 million M gold, Chinese people originally had high expectations for "Fengshen Bang".As a result, although the box office of "Feng Shen Bang" on the day of its premiere was not as high as that of "Best Partner", it still managed to reach 2000 million, and even the box office on the second and third day also exceeded [-] million. If the trend continues, there is absolutely no problem with the domestic box office of "Feng Shen Bang" exceeding [-] million.
However, three days later, the word-of-mouth of the two films has begun to ferment after a period of brewing.Facing the overwhelmingly bad reviews from film critics and ordinary audiences, even if "Feng Shen Bang" has Hollywood's top special effects and gimmicks joined by superstars, it can't stop the box office from collapsing in an instant.
After all, "Fengshen Bang" is not the only movie with top-level special effects. The explosion scene of "Best Partner" released at the same time can definitely make people so excited that even the adrenaline will fly to the sky. The most important thing is the plot of "Best Partner" It's compact enough to laugh.
On the basis that people's living standards are far from being able to waste their purses recklessly, fans who can only choose one of the two films with completely different reputations are attracted to the screening hall of "Best Partner" .Even viewers who have the money to watch two movies, after watching "Feng Shen Bang", can't help complaining on the Internet, thinking that they have wasted two hours of time and a movie ticket... The situation of ebb and flow Next, the box office of "Feng Shen Bang" dropped directly to 1000 million on the seventh day, 780 million on the eighth day, and remained at 720 million on the ninth day... Obviously, the box office broke through 9000 million in the first week, but the box office in the second week fell to 4000 million. Directly reduced to [-] two million.
If it is compared with the movies released in the same period, although the box office of "Fengshen Bang" is not as good as "Best Partner", it can still disdain other domestic movies and some Hollywood blockbusters.
But what made the "Fengshenbang" crew and Star Entertainment feel worse was that the theaters of "Fengshenbang" directly asked Star Entertainment to reduce the number of screens of "Fengshenbang" after seeing the box office revenue of "Best Partner".Distributors who have always been mercenary are of course greedy for the revenue of China's theaters, so they want to take back part of the screens allocated to "Feng Shen Bang" and play "Best Partner" instead.
Seriously speaking, the attendance rate of "Fengshen Bang" dropped sharply to about 50% from the second week. Although it cannot be compared with the attendance rate of "Best Partner" which has been maintained at 90%, it is barely normal. state.
For this reason, the theater chain wants to reduce the number of screens for "Fengshen Bang", which is definitely a violation of the contract.
Star Entertainment is backed by a big tree, and has never suffered from this kind of anger since its establishment.But the reasons for the theater are also very good——
Businessmen only do business for money, and now it is clear that "Best Partner" makes money, and "Fengshen Bang" loses money. If it were in the past, these theaters would sell tickets for "Fengshen Bang" on the surface, and then play "Best of Gods" to the audience. "Partner", anyway, this kind of box office stealing is not uncommon in China.Presumably "Feng Shen Bang" is also happy to see its success.
However, this Lunar New Year country is determined to crack down on piracy, and the supervision of movie theaters and the piracy market is extremely strict, especially the box office statistics of "Best Partner"-after all, this also involves the competition for the top box office in China. They didn't dare to be careless when it came to major matters concerning Huaxia's face, or they didn't dare to be disrespectful to hold everyone back.
So we can only find a way to make "Feng Shen Bang" and Star Entertainment take the initiative to hand over the number of screens.
However, such a move is nothing more than making "Feng Shen Bang" and Xing Entertainment take the initiative to admit that they are not as good as "Best Partner" and China Emperor Entertainment.Although this is already an obvious fact, but if you lose, you don't lose. How can Xing Entertainment do the aggrieved thing of surrendering?
However, the theater directly found the big tree behind Star Entertainment. Under the orders of the big tree, even if Star Entertainment and "Fengshen Bang" dared not speak out, they could only hold their noses and admit their bad luck.The original 38% of the country's film scheduling rate suddenly dropped to 30%, and the large screens across the country gave up 1000 or 3.6 yuan, and they had to pretend to be generous to publish a draft for publicity, admitting to the national media that they had no hope of breaking through "" Sunken Ship's [-] million box office, so I am willing to help "Best Partner".After all, everyone is a Chinese filmmaker, and Chinese people should support their own films.
Regardless of whether Star Entertainment and the crew of "Fengshenbang" had blood in their hearts or whether their teeth were itchy with hatred when they said these words, audiences across the country were generally moved by the tolerance and generosity of Star Entertainment and "Fengshenbang".For a while, "Feng Shen Bang", which had a bad reputation, actually had a trend of turning public opinion. Everyone believed that "Feng Shen Bang" was a loser but not a loser. After feeling good, they walked into the movie theater to express their support with actions. and agree.As a result, after "Feng Shen Bang" gave up 1000 and 600 large screens, the box office and attendance rate of the third week did not fall but rose, reaching [-] million.When the film was released, I struggled and broke through [-] million.
In the eyes of the insider, although I can't laugh or cry, I can only sigh that it was unintentional ╮(╯_╰)╭
Lu Heng was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm not feeling well." Zhao Miao sniffed uncomfortably, turned her head away from Lu Heng, wrapped her fingers around the hem of her clothes, and said awkwardly, "Play by yourself, I'll go first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Heng's reaction, he directly picked up his coat and turned around to leave. He fled in a hurry.
Sun Shuliang, who was sitting on the sofa, was caught off guard, so he had to get up and said apologetically, "Xiao Miao is in a bad mood today, it wasn't on purpose, so don't take it to heart."

"That's good." Sun Shuliang looked at Lu Heng with an embarrassing expression, his lips trembled, and said, "Thank you for coming to accompany Xiao Miao today, you are all good boys...then I will go first."
Lu Heng sent Sun Shuliang to the elevator door, watched Sun Shuliang get on the elevator, and when he turned back, he saw Wei Linxuan sitting in front of the computer Zhao Miao had just used, shaking his head and sighing: "It seems that Star Entertainment My first brother’s psychological quality is not very good, so I can’t bear it.”

"Could it be a mistake?" Even director Mai Chengliang blurted out in disbelief and asked, "How could it be so high?"
Last year, the movie with the highest domestic box office in China only sold more than 3000 million at the box office. When "Shipwreck" was released in China, the box office only broke 1000 and 2000 million on the first day. Their "Best Partner" reached [-] on the first day. How much is it?Isn't this record a little too mysterious?
Everyone couldn't believe it, and looked at each other in a daze.Even Wei Zhanjie who answered the phone in person felt a little wobbly.
Wei Linxuan and Lu Heng are the two friends who are the calmest in the private room.The latter is because before the rebirth, he was used to the box office record of over 40 million on the first day, but the former smiled confidently: "In fact, it is normal to have such a box office. First of all, this movie is under the banner of the original crew of "A Action" It was filmed, and there must be a certain audience base. Coupled with the promotion and promotion in the past few months, everyone will definitely be interested in the film. Moreover, the film's screening rate in the country has exceeded 5000%, and only the big screens of China Cinemas It has already exceeded [-] yuan, and the time and place are right, so it is not surprising to have this first-day box office."
At this point, Wei Linxuan looked at his glorious father and asked with a smile, "How is the box office on the first day of "Fengshen Bang"?"
When these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Wei Zhanjie, who was extremely embarrassing and energetic.
Wei Zhanjie's face became more and more ruddy and shiny, and he stretched out a finger with a pleasant smile, and made a gesture of seven, saying: "700 million."
After all, it is the first oriental fantasy movie in China with an investment of 700 million M gold, and the publicity stunt of trying to compete with "Shipwreck" is still very attractive.What's more, "Feng Shen Bang" is not only under the banner of Hollywood's top special effects studio in the post-production period, but also has more than a dozen Chinese superstars joining in. In addition, "Best Partner" and "Shipwreck" have been bundled during the promotion period. These elements are superimposed Come to think of it, it's definitely worth [-] million at the box office.
However, after the premiere, the box office and word-of-mouth of the two films quickly spread by more than a large margin.
The box office of "Best Partner" exceeded 2000 million in the first week of its release. In addition to recovering the shooting cost, it made a direct profit of 250 million. In the second week of its release, the total box office directly exceeded [-] million, reaching [-] million.When the box office statistics came out, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was boiling. From this figure, everyone saw the hope of revitalizing Chinese films, and saw the hope that "Best Partner" would break the monopoly of Hollywood and break the record of "Shipwreck".
Things have progressed to this point, and it is no longer a matter for the crew of "Best Partner", but an important event in the Chinese film industry.In order to ensure that "Best Partner" will no longer have the embarrassing incident of "A Action" caused by the leak of the film source, the relevant departments will carry out the piracy crackdown during the Lunar New Year period. very strict.At least it will ensure that the source of "Best Partner" will not be leaked during its release.
With this guarantee, Wei Zhanjie simply held a general meeting of shareholders in the company, and proposed that when necessary, China Cinemas can extend the release time of "Best Partner", and must ensure that "Best Partner" breaks through 3.6 when it is released. [-] million at the box office, regaining the top position in China's movie box office rankings.
Such an arrangement would obviously break the rule that domestic films are only released for one month, but this proposal has won the approval of most people.After all, the main reason why the domestic film schedule is only one month is that piracy is rampant, and movie fans have been greatly diverted. If the theater insists on showing it, I am afraid that even the most basic screening cost will not be recovered.
But now, the screening of "Best Partner" does not need to consider this item, which also gave Wei Zhanjie and China Emperor Entertainment the confidence to increase the screening period of "Best Partner".
Compared with the high ambitions of "Best Partner", it has been bundled marketing with "Best Partner" during the promotion period, and it is extremely embarrassing to directly target the "Feng Shen Bang" of "Sunken Ship".
As the first special effects masterpiece in China with an investment of more than 700 million M gold, Chinese people originally had high expectations for "Fengshen Bang".As a result, although the box office of "Feng Shen Bang" on the day of its premiere was not as high as that of "Best Partner", it still managed to reach 2000 million, and even the box office on the second and third day also exceeded [-] million. If the trend continues, there is absolutely no problem with the domestic box office of "Feng Shen Bang" exceeding [-] million.
However, three days later, the word-of-mouth of the two films has begun to ferment after a period of brewing.Facing the overwhelmingly bad reviews from film critics and ordinary audiences, even if "Feng Shen Bang" has Hollywood's top special effects and gimmicks joined by superstars, it can't stop the box office from collapsing in an instant.
After all, "Fengshen Bang" is not the only movie with top-level special effects. The explosion scene of "Best Partner" released at the same time can definitely make people so excited that even the adrenaline will fly to the sky. The most important thing is the plot of "Best Partner" It's compact enough to laugh.
On the basis that people's living standards are far from being able to waste their purses recklessly, fans who can only choose one of the two films with completely different reputations are attracted to the screening hall of "Best Partner" .Even viewers who have the money to watch two movies, after watching "Feng Shen Bang", can't help complaining on the Internet, thinking that they have wasted two hours of time and a movie ticket... The situation of ebb and flow Next, the box office of "Feng Shen Bang" dropped directly to 1000 million on the seventh day, 780 million on the eighth day, and remained at 720 million on the ninth day... Obviously, the box office broke through 9000 million in the first week, but the box office in the second week fell to 4000 million. Directly reduced to [-] two million.
If it is compared with the movies released in the same period, although the box office of "Fengshen Bang" is not as good as "Best Partner", it can still disdain other domestic movies and some Hollywood blockbusters.
But what made the "Fengshenbang" crew and Star Entertainment feel worse was that the theaters of "Fengshenbang" directly asked Star Entertainment to reduce the number of screens of "Fengshenbang" after seeing the box office revenue of "Best Partner".Distributors who have always been mercenary are of course greedy for the revenue of China's theaters, so they want to take back part of the screens allocated to "Feng Shen Bang" and play "Best Partner" instead.
Seriously speaking, the attendance rate of "Fengshen Bang" dropped sharply to about 50% from the second week. Although it cannot be compared with the attendance rate of "Best Partner" which has been maintained at 90%, it is barely normal. state.
For this reason, the theater chain wants to reduce the number of screens for "Fengshen Bang", which is definitely a violation of the contract.
Star Entertainment is backed by a big tree, and has never suffered from this kind of anger since its establishment.But the reasons for the theater are also very good——
Businessmen only do business for money, and now it is clear that "Best Partner" makes money, and "Fengshen Bang" loses money. If it were in the past, these theaters would sell tickets for "Fengshen Bang" on the surface, and then play "Best of Gods" to the audience. "Partner", anyway, this kind of box office stealing is not uncommon in China.Presumably "Feng Shen Bang" is also happy to see its success.
However, this Lunar New Year country is determined to crack down on piracy, and the supervision of movie theaters and the piracy market is extremely strict, especially the box office statistics of "Best Partner"-after all, this also involves the competition for the top box office in China. They didn't dare to be careless when it came to major matters concerning Huaxia's face, or they didn't dare to be disrespectful to hold everyone back.
So we can only find a way to make "Feng Shen Bang" and Star Entertainment take the initiative to hand over the number of screens.
However, such a move is nothing more than making "Feng Shen Bang" and Xing Entertainment take the initiative to admit that they are not as good as "Best Partner" and China Emperor Entertainment.Although this is already an obvious fact, but if you lose, you don't lose. How can Xing Entertainment do the aggrieved thing of surrendering?
However, the theater directly found the big tree behind Star Entertainment. Under the orders of the big tree, even if Star Entertainment and "Fengshen Bang" dared not speak out, they could only hold their noses and admit their bad luck.The original 38% of the country's film scheduling rate suddenly dropped to 30%, and the large screens across the country gave up 1000 or 3.6 yuan, and they had to pretend to be generous to publish a draft for publicity, admitting to the national media that they had no hope of breaking through "" Sunken Ship's [-] million box office, so I am willing to help "Best Partner".After all, everyone is a Chinese filmmaker, and Chinese people should support their own films.
Regardless of whether Star Entertainment and the crew of "Fengshenbang" had blood in their hearts or whether their teeth were itchy with hatred when they said these words, audiences across the country were generally moved by the tolerance and generosity of Star Entertainment and "Fengshenbang".For a while, "Feng Shen Bang", which had a bad reputation, actually had a trend of turning public opinion. Everyone believed that "Feng Shen Bang" was a loser but not a loser. After feeling good, they walked into the movie theater to express their support with actions. and agree.As a result, after "Feng Shen Bang" gave up 1000 and 600 large screens, the box office and attendance rate of the third week did not fall but rose, reaching [-] million.When the film was released, I struggled and broke through [-] million.
In the eyes of the insider, although I can't laugh or cry, I can only sigh that it was unintentional ╮(╯_╰)╭
