Chapter 906 IMAX
The situation that Leonardo said is of course very common in China.

Before the deep space company has calculated the box office of "The Martian" in China, some media have already released news, the content is similar to what Leonardo said, it is "The Martian" that beats "Titanic" "Won the box office champion and the like.

These news looks like Deep Space Corporation's own marketing, but in fact it has nothing to do with Deep Space Corporation, it is completely the spontaneous behavior of the media, and they also know how to write news so that more people will read it.

Of course, some people use this method to market their films.

For example, just two days ago, a tabloid published a report. The content of the report was astonishingly that "the box office of the domestic movie "Endless" surpassed the Hollywood blockbuster "The Martian" released at the same time, ranking first."

Anyone who reads this title will think that "Never Ending" has performed very well, and its box office has surpassed "The Martian" released at the same time, so this movie must be very good.

Moreover, the title was scheming, specifically emphasizing that "Endless" is a domestic film and "The Martian" is a foreign film.

But this is not the case. The box office of "Never Ending" is far behind that of "The Martian", and there is no comparison at all.

Is this news complete bullshit?

That's not true, because the news content in it is all true.

According to the content, the box office of "Endless" surpassed "The Martian" in a small county in Sichuan Province on December 26, and the total box office of that small county was only more than 3000 yuan that day.

The box office of this kind of place is really easy to operate.

And even if there is no black-box operation, it is very normal for theaters in some small places not to line up "The Martian" on a certain day.

So, you can't say that their news is fake, at most you can say that they are headline parties.

The scariest lie is not telling lies, the scariest thing is telling only part of the truth.

The box office of the movie "Endless" is actually very poor. Squeezed by "The Martian", there is no filming in big cities, so I can only go to small places to survive.

This is a movie produced by Huayi Brothers. The director of the movie is Zhang Zhiliang, but anyone who knows the inside story knows that the real director of this movie is actually Feng Xiaogang who has been behind the scenes.

The reason why Feng Xiaogang was not allowed to come forward was because Deep Space Company let it go. If Feng Xiaogang were to direct, they would restrict the film from all aspects.

But even so, Wang Zhongjun still used Feng Xiaogang, but in order to deceive others, Feng Xiaogang was always behind the scenes.

Originally thought that as long as Feng Xiaogang did not show his face, Deep Space Company would not know the inside story and would not target them.

But what I never expected was that they were restricted by Deep Space Company from the beginning of their filming.

Originally, Huayi was planning to invite Ge You to be the leading actor in the movie, and it had been agreed verbally before, but when the movie was about to be shot, Ge You suddenly called and said that his schedule was not good enough to participate in "Endless" Gone".

No matter how good Wang Zhongjun begged, Ge You did not agree to participate in the performance.

There is no way, they can only change the actors here.

After searching around, I finally gathered a group of actors to shoot. After the film was finished, it encountered many difficulties in its release.

When they overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally let the film be released, it happened to collide with "The Martian", and the filming situation was very pitiful.

Now their movie has been released for nearly a month, and they have spent a lot of effort on various promotions, but the box office is still less than 500 million. Even if the theaters don't give them all the money, it can't even cover the cost.

In fact, Wang Zhongjun is not sure whether the deep space company is only suppressing the opponent, or because he knows that Feng Xiaogang is the real director of this movie, because if the pressure from the deep space company is not particularly strong, if it is really strong, their film I guess I can't even shoot it.

……

The domestic box office of "The Martian" exceeded [-] million yuan. In fact, the statistics have lagged behind, and the real box office should have exceeded [-] million yuan long ago.

Although the movie has been released for a while, but because it is the end of the year, the daily box office has not dropped too much, and the popularity is still very high, and this situation should continue until the end of the year.

In fact, the most popular movie theater with the highest attendance rate in the country is actually the giant screen movie theater in the Deep Space Park.

As the most advanced theater in the country and even in the world, the giant screen theater is far superior to ordinary movie theaters in terms of vision and hearing.

Even though many theaters in China have been remodeled, they are still incomparable with giant screen theaters.

Especially when watching movies with good visual effects like "The Martian", the giant screen theater has more advantages. After experiencing it in the giant screen theater, many viewers don't want to go to ordinary movie theaters to watch movies.

In addition, the ticket price of the giant screen theater is really cheap.

Tickets for "The Martian" in many movie theaters outside now cost more than 40 yuan, but the giant screen theater is still the original price, only [-] deep space points are needed.

A ticket of 30 deep space points is equivalent to spending [-] yuan to watch a movie, and then give you two books when you leave.

Let alone 30 points, even [-] yuan per ticket will definitely make people squeeze their heads.

Therefore, when the giant screen theater opened to the public for reservations, it was always full, even for the mid-week morning show, the attendance rate was still [-].

Not only locals from Jinling come to the giant screen theater to watch movies, but there are also many people around here just to watch a movie.

For example, in Luzhou, a large number of people will come across the province on weekends.

Many people suggested that Deep Space Company build more giant screen theaters in other cities, but Deep Space Company has never responded.

There is no way to respond to this thing. The giant screen theater is entirely for the purpose of attracting tourists to the park. It is a loss-making business in itself.

Even if Deep Space Company is not afraid of losing money, and works for the benefit of a large audience, and really builds a giant screen theater in every major city, and then [-] points per ticket, then the audience will be happy, and the theaters probably want it. Eat the Deep Space Corporation alive.

That is to say, there is only one hall in the park, and the number of shows is limited every day. Otherwise, the cinemas in Jinling would have already complained.

However, it is not that the Deep Space Company has not heard the words of the masses at all. Although it cannot be carried out in other cities according to the model of the Deep Space Park, it is absolutely possible to build IMAX theaters in other places.

Deep Space Corporation has reached a cooperation agreement with the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. In the first half of the year, it will transform an IMAX theater for them. This will also be the second IMAX theater open to the public in China besides the Deep Space Park.

And after the theater of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum is completed, Yanjing will build the first commercial IMAX theater in the country.
