my sister is not a helper

Chapter 192 Double-edged sword

On August 31th, in Beijing, the weather was cloudy, the temperature was [-] degrees, and it was stuffy.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the moment Zhou Zuoxian stepped into Huaxing Entertainment, the entire company was silent, and all the employees sat upright and kept silent.

It was because Zhou Zuoxian's long face was already as gloomy and scary as the weather outside.

Thinking about the rumor that was spread this morning, everyone naturally understood that any eye-catching thing at this time would be a catastrophe for Yuchi.

Zhou Zuoxian glanced around with dark eyes, but found nothing unlucky, then snorted coldly and entered his office.

In an entertainment company, gossip always spreads faster, so he doesn't shy away from employees talking and gossiping, but he never allows offending his authority in person.

At [-]:[-], Assistant Li of Zhou Zuoxian knocked on the door of the president's office.

"what happened?"

Zhou Zuoxian, who was sitting on the boss chair, seemed to have nothing wrong with him, but Assistant Li tidied up the office himself this morning, and he noticed very keenly that Zhou Zuoxian had been in the office for 10 minutes, and all the documents, teacups, mice, etc. on the desk were Not an iota has moved.

In other words, Zhou Zuoxian has been in a daze for 10 minutes since he went to work.

But she did not dare to "concern" the boss, but said with a low eyebrow: "Mr. Zhou, both Yida Cinemas and Xinyi Cinemas sent me a coordination notice today, informing us of the premiere of "The Whole Man" on NO.15. "Expert", there may be some changes in the filming rate."

"Adjust the shooting rate? How to adjust?"

Zhou Zuoxian's mind hadn't changed from being in a daze, so he asked Assistant Li casually, but as soon as the words came out, he seemed to understand something, and his already gloomy face became even uglier.

Assistant Li lowered his head, and said cautiously: "I also asked, and they said that they will make random adjustments according to the situation. They may increase the filming, or they may reduce hundreds of canvases."

"Hehe, it's really a grass on the wall."

Zhou Zuoxian laughed angrily.

All the theater chains in the Great Wei Dynasty added up to only [-] canvases. If a few hundred sheets were reduced, wouldn’t the filming rate drop by several percentage points?

And one hundred and nine hundred are both "hundreds"!

And all of this is because the first-day box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeded everyone's expectations yesterday.

The box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeded 400 million on the first day, which doesn't sound like much.

After all, this result does not rank in the top five box office rankings this year.

It is the number one box office so far this year, and the box office on the first day exceeded [-] million.

But "Crazy Stone" is a low-cost movie, and it is said that the filming rate in theaters is less than 17%.

And because the premiere was a week earlier than the pre-prepared date, various promotional activities were cut down a lot due to time constraints.

Zhenghong's smiling sister group was originally scheduled to travel to all first-tier cities in Dawei for roadshow promotion.

As a result, because the promotion time was cut in half, a dozen second-level provincial capitals of the Great Wei Dynasty had to be abandoned, and only the first-tier cities with relatively strong economic strengths were left. The promotional effect must be discounted.

But even under such unfavorable circumstances, "Crazy Stone" got 400 million box office on the first day, this result.
It is very amazing.

If it is estimated according to the normal law, the weekly box office of "Crazy Stone" is likely to exceed 1500 million, or even exceed 2000 million.

You must know that the entire movie of "Crazy Stone" is only worth 600 million yuan, and the box office can get 2000 million yuan in the first week, which is bound to make a lot of money.

With this film, Huoshi Entertainment is likely to get rid of the previous title of "theatre killer" and re-enter the battlefield of film and television distribution.

Assistant Li saw that Zhou Zuoxian was silent, so he asked cautiously: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to make an appointment with people from the two theaters to have a talk?"

Zhou Zuoxian waved his hand: "Don't worry, Huoshi Entertainment just took advantage of the schedule gap, and the box office may not be able to stabilize tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. A group of fans cannot support the entire box office."

"Okay Mr. Zhou, then I'll go out first."

Assistant Li saw Zhou Zuoxian waving his hand, and immediately took the opportunity to escape.

But in her heart, she didn't agree with Zhou Zuoxian's words.

In the film market in mid-August during the Great Wei Dynasty, there were only two blockbuster films and a few small and medium-budget films, but the two blockbuster films had reached the end of their screening cycle, and the box office had shrunk to ten percent.

The other few films are not outstanding either, generally speaking it is a gap period, otherwise "Crazy Stone" would not have been selected for release on August [-]th.

But this gap period was judged without the participation of "Practitioner".

Now that the schedule of "Crazy Stone" is a week earlier, it is always affected by two blockbuster movies.

And because the publicity is not in place, the canvas is less than 2000 yuan, and the market situation we are facing can be said to be very bad.

And in such a bad situation, they were able to get a decent first-day box office of 400, and the dark horse trend is already clear.

As for "Crazy Stone" being praised by the fans of Huoshi Entertainment?
This is nonsense.

Assistant Li watched the movie yesterday, laughed almost from beginning to end, and even had the desire to do it twice.

Is this still not hot?
"Oh, Mr. Zhou is too lenient. If I were the president, I would have lowered my face and continued to snipe "Crazy Stone". It will also be premiered on August [-]th. Anyway, it is a deadly enemy, and I still have to worry about my face."

Assistant Li thinks he has the talent of Kong Ming, and keeps slandering Zhou Zuoxian in his heart for his incompetence.

But how did he know that Zhou Zuoxian immediately asked "The Manipulator" to change the schedule to kill "Crazy Stone", but he was stopped by Boss Cai of Tianren Film and Television.

Huaxing Entertainment is just the investor in "The Man Who Makes a Man" and Tianren Films is the producer, so it's just a matter of tearing each other up. Are you really like Zhou Zuoxian, a life-and-death enemy?
Who is stupider than whom?Who can take advantage of whom?

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

On August [-]th, Zhou Zuoxian arrived at the company an hour later than usual.

Seeing that he had two huge dark circles under his eyes, the eight women in the company started to mutter again, guessing which little rascal had squeezed their boss dry last night.

But who knows, Zhou Zuoxian was really sleepless yesterday.

After getting the box office data in the early hours of the morning, he didn't fall asleep all night, tossing and turning anxiously getting angry, but he didn't even have anyone around him to vent his anger.

760 million, the box office of "Crazy Stone" reached 760 million on the second day.

This is already a very good result, especially when the filming rate is less than 18%.

Zhou Zuoxian held a market meeting to clarify the adjusted market strategy.

"The current fans have lost their basic values. For their idols, they can do any crazy things. We will also pay attention to the development of this aspect in the future, and use more idol artists to star in film and television dramas."

At this time, the film and television actors of the Great Wei Dynasty were basically dominated by the "strength faction", but Zhou Zuoxian believed that he had already keenly noticed the traffic code of the "idol faction".

It doesn't matter how bad your acting skills are, as long as there are fans and fans cheering, there will be box office.

But he didn't realize that fans are a double-edged sword.

When a company is obsessed with making money with traffic and forgets the essence of the work, then it will inevitably embark on the road of "prosperity and decline".
