I'm not a big star

Chapter 601 No one is optimistic about "Jianshin"

The time in late September was a bit hasty for Chu Qing.

Chu Qing really wanted to be a salted fish, and wanted to be as lazy as before, but Chu Qing found that she couldn't be a salted fish.

Sometimes, when I cross many realms and own too many things, I feel like a slave and have no free time.

"Jian Xin" is scheduled to be released on October [-]st. Although it doesn't need much publicity, the pre-sale tickets on Huaxia Online have already sold out, and there are all rumors about the release of "Jian Xin" on the Internet, and there is a lot of buzz, but Chu Qing needs to prepare a lot. Basically, after finishing his work in China, Chu Qing flew to Hollywood, where he continued to deal with some details of the release of "Jian Xin"...

Huaxia's "Jian Xin" is very optimistic, and the box office will definitely not be too bad, but Hollywood's "Jian Xin"...

The situation makes me cry.

In October, many Hollywood movies were released, and basically the investment cost of each movie was much higher than that of "Jianshin".

Although Hansen's "Sword Heart" didn't make a big splash in China, it had a great influence in Hollywood...

Of course, this is not a commendatory term, but a derogatory term.

Hansen's version of "Sword Heart" is really too deep, and the messy martial arts philosophy in it makes old American movie fans stunned. Often the previous plot can't connect with the latter, and then it pops up again in the middle. A series of tirade...

What does this say?
It feels like insulting the IQ of movie fans.

In short, this group of movie fans were stunned from the beginning to the end, and after they finished, they left the theater stupidly, and then they didn't understand what the movie was about...

What the hell is this?
Well, almost all the movie fans who went to the cinema to watch this idea more or less appeared in their minds...

And every audience is happy and full of anticipation before entering the cinema, but their face changes after leaving the cinema.

Without a word, they all posted on the film review website, and without a word, they clicked on the page of "Jian Xin" and sprayed "Jian Xin" bloody. After spraying, they seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so they went to I ordered a bad review of one point...

The rating of "Jian Xin" dropped to the lowest score of 2.1 on American Film Network...

It can be said to be unprecedentedly low.

This must be a bad review. The whole movie is full of incomprehensible philosophies from beginning to end. For martial arts action movies, you can fight and kill. Who are you showing so many philosophies to?
We don't spend money to take philosophy classes!

It is sick.

In short, after the box office and word-of-mouth of Hansen's version of "Jian Xin" both cheated, it directly led to the disappointment of Chu Qing's version of "Jian Xin" among old American movie fans. The "Jian Xin" made by Hansen is finished, you Chu Qing , a cutting-edge director and self-written and directed "Jian Xin", where can you see it?
You don't want to become Amitabha in the Chinese anti-Japanese drama. Who would spend money to buy advance tickets to waste money?
After all, everyone is not mentally retarded...

Movie fans don't have any hope for "Jian Xin" and then pre-sale tickets are cheating.

Previously, the pre-sale tickets for "Darksiders" were sold out in less than a day on the Internet, but the pre-sale tickets for "Jian Xin" have been on the website for five days, and only half of the tickets have been sold... …

Nearly half, what kind of concept is this?
This is a sign of cheating!

This made Pete very worried. He originally thought that Hansen's version of "Sword Heart" had a great influence on him, but he didn't expect it to have such a big influence. Of course, the influence of this matter is far from that.

When the theater chain that worked well with Pete saw the situation of pre-sale tickets on the Internet, they backed off slightly, and instantly cut the number of screen blocks for "Jian Xin" by half...

Even if "Jianshin", which has been reduced by half, is always sold out, you can't compete with Hollywood movies of the same period.

Moreover, the Hollywood movies in October can be described as outrageously strong!
After all, there are also "Dragon Knight 2", "Magic Heroes", "Thor 2", such blockbuster movies that have exploded in word-of-mouth and sold out all the pre-sale tickets...

Half of the screen blocks released by "Jian Xin" are given to these blockbusters.

Pete panicked.

He did sign contracts with those theaters, but the contract only stipulated the playing time and the guaranteed number of screens, but there was no provision that the theaters could take the initiative to withdraw the screens in case of emergencies.

Basically, except for the leading Hollywood companies that are qualified to negotiate terms with theaters, other small companies have no way to negotiate terms with theaters.

After all, theaters also want to make money.

Who would do this kind of thing?
What are you fools doing?

CQ company is naturally not considered a big Hollywood company, not even a small company, and this time it is the actor Chu Qing who wrote and directed himself, and Hansen's version of "Jian Xin" is a cheating father, and he is also a martial artist with the same name Movie……

In summary, these theaters are completely unfavorable.

They are able to keep half of the screen, in their opinion, it is already a great gift!
When Pete saw this, he quickly called Chu Qing...

He is a little desperate!
Because of various signs, he smelled a rush of "Jian Xin"...

In Huaxia Chuqing has an absolute reputation and appeal, it is impossible to make a fortune by rushing to the street, but in the eyes of Hollywood's "Sword Heart", it seems to be a broken halberd...

Miracle you say?

There are miracles, but do miracles happen so casually?
....................................

"Boss, the pre-sale tickets have not been sold out yet, and the show will be released tomorrow. Otherwise, let's pay for the pre-sale tickets."

"If it's not sold out, it's not sold out, it doesn't affect anything, and even if we buy the remaining advance tickets, will it help our movie box office?"

"This...boss, I didn't mean that, I meant...at least in terms of theaters..."

"Peter, don't be so nervous. We are making a movie. The audience who has not seen a movie has the final say on whether a movie is good or bad, but the audience who have seen it. Moreover, my first movie The number of screens is not half of that of this "Jian Xin", so the box office is still good? What are you afraid of?" Chu Qing was quite calm when facing the flustered Pete.

"But, boss, this is your first film that Huaxia entered Hollywood. If the box office fails to meet expectations or the film is released early, it will have a great impact on your future..."

"What's the big deal, now, we have done what we should do, and don't care about the rest... Oh yes, Pete, I have something to ask you."

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"Is there any theater chain in Hollywood that is about to close down or is not doing well recently?"

"Uh, boss, why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to buy those theaters?"

"Well, I do have this idea..."

"Boss, the acquisition of a theater chain is not cheap, at least hundreds of millions, even if the theater chain is not well managed, it cannot be too cheap. This... and if we are not well managed after the acquisition, we will lose money every year. This...boss, calm down."

"I have money." Chu Qing looked up at Pete.

"Ah?" Pete opened his mouth, although he didn't know what to say.

The boss said he was rich, what else could he say?
He has money, he can lose money, can I prevent him from losing money?
"Hurry up and prepare. Find some original information for me in the past few days, and I'll screen them."

"Oh……"

After Pete left Chu Qing's office, Chu Qing silently looked out of the busy window.

The farthest distance is the most beautiful beach in Hollywood. Whenever the sun sets, the beach is always swaying with golden light.

It's really beautiful.

Chu Qing smiled.

Since the theaters are so powerful, then I will buy the theaters myself.

Anyway, now I still have a lot of spare money.

Chu Qing closed her eyes.

I'm a rich man now...

Chu Qing was inexplicably a little bit complacent.

Well, the villain is successful...

....................................

At the end of September, all the movie promotions were on the rankings of the major theaters. Although the number of screens of "Jian Xin" has dropped a lot, the promotion of "Jian Xin" has not fallen in these theaters. It can be compared with "Dragon Warrior 2" and "Thor 2"...

The promotional video of "Jian Xin" was very well done. When the theater chain officially promoted it, some netizens became interested after seeing something different in the promotional video...

Because of this, the online pre-sale tickets for "Jianshin" finally sold out a few days before September 28th.

Pete breathed a sigh of relief.

This avoids the embarrassing scene where there will be empty seats in the cinema on the premiere day.

Of course, none of the Hollywood film companies valued "Jian Xin".

Even if the pre-sale tickets were sold out, none of them thought that "Jian Xin" was a dark horse and would become a big hit.

And the things discussed on the Internet are basically "Dragon Warrior 2" or "Thor 2" or "Magic Heroes".

Everyone thinks that the box office champion will be produced in these few movies.

Even if Chu Qing has made films such as "Insomnia" and "Machina", which are both popular and box office, no one thinks that the films written and directed by Chu Qing will be successful!
Don't you see, Hansen has failed and is finished, can you, a new director who is just a fledgling and a half-way monk, succeed?

Isn't this a joke?
Can sows climb trees?

Chu Qing is not discouraged by the fact that the Internet is all negative. Chu Qing stays in the company and plays computer happily every day. The content in the computer is naturally very simple, only the League of Legends...

Pete saw that the popularity of other movies on the Internet was getting higher and higher day by day, and his "Jian Xin" was still not popular on the Internet, so he was really anxious. Seeing Chu Qing's calm appearance, he immediately remembered There is a Chinese idiom.

Typical: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry!"

"boss……"

"Did you find the theater I asked you to find?"

"I've been looking for it, but...it's too late to show our movie in these theaters now!"

"I don't mean that. After all, we have signed a contract with other theaters, and we can't find other theaters to play it for the time being..."

"Ah."

"Then what do you mean, boss?"

"Let me take a look first. If I think it's suitable, I'll talk to the theater owners about the acquisition."

"Oh, boss, it seems like it's not the time for us to pay attention to these things. What we need to pay attention to now is the release of "Jian Xin"!"

"We have done what we have to do. We can just have a clear conscience. When the premiere ends tomorrow, won't we know the box office?"

"This..." Pete was speechless after watching Chu Qing playing League of Legends, obviously a little distracted!
Is the boss really planning to buy these broken theaters?

What if the acquired cinema loses money?
This is really...

No, now it's not a matter of discussing the acquisition of theaters, it's a matter of considering the premiere of "Jian Xin", right?
But what do I do?
But no matter how worried Pete was, no matter how anxious he was, it didn't change anything.

After all, "Jian Xin" will officially start to be released...

October [-]st came unexpectedly...

　Huh, so what, I forgot to watch the TV series "Son of Heaven" in Yueguan... The update is late, everyone forgive me, okay?
