This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 428 Released Early
Seeing that a group of netizens on the Internet can't wait to see the movie "Area 51", Spielberg was extremely speechless.

No, you can be fooled by such a simple routine, and you still believe it, how stupid it is.

And this damn Huaxia director Xu Nan, why does every movie promotion take such an unusual path.

Wicked way!

Heretics! ! !

That's not what movie promotion is at all, it's not movie promotion at all, it's a scam.

The producer of "Western Story" was a little worried: "I just got the news that because of the high popularity of "Area 51" on the Internet, the theater chain has increased the number of theaters and the proportion of this movie."

This is the case with theater chains. When people order dishes and see the popularity of unreleased movies, they immediately increase their treatment because they want to make money.

Spielberg is too aware of the tonality of the theater, and immediately curled his lips: "So what?"

The producer frowned: "Our movie will be released ten days later. Although the peak popularity of "Area 51" has passed by that time, it will still have a certain impact on our movie."

Spielberg smiled: "Don't worry, our movie is of very good quality, it is a rare classic, and the audience will definitely like it very much. It is impossible for a mere "Area 51" to affect our movie. It’s just going to be a stepping stone for us.”

The producer's expression was still a little dignified.

The reason is this, but what if?
If Xu Nan's movie becomes a big hit and the popularity continues until their movie is released, then things will be very troublesome.

There is a blockbuster movie in the same period, which is a disaster for other movies and will suck away the box office that should belong to them.

In terms of film quality, the producers are not worried. The quality of Spielberg's works has never been bad.

But Xu Nan, the director of Huaxia, never plays cards according to common sense, and often engages in some show operations. What if another show operation will affect the box office of their movies.

After thinking about it, the producer suggested: "Director Spielberg, if Xu Nan's movie becomes a big hit, I suggest that we change the schedule a few days later."

Spielberg glanced at the producer dissatisfied: "Do I need to be afraid of this damn Chinese?"

The producer said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just in case."

He knew that Spielberg was a very proud person, and as he got older, Spielberg became more and more proud, even to the point of being stubborn.

But for the sake of the film's box office, he feels that it is not impossible to make a concession. A qualified businessman and director must abandon extra emotions and act in order to maximize the film's box office.

Spielberg nodded: "It is indeed possible to adjust the schedule."

The producer froze for a moment.

Why did Spielberg suddenly become so talkative? He thought it would take a long time for him to change his mind.

Spielberg said: "Just change the movie's release date to two days later."

The producer opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "What?"

The popularity of Xu Nan's movie is so high, it's too late to avoid it, and you want to release it on the same day, are you out of your mind?
The producer quickly said: "Director Spielberg, why did you do this? This will cause our film to lose a lot of box office and make us make a lot less money."

Spielberg said seriously: "Because I want to tell everyone that the quality of the movie is the most important thing, and it is the best guarantee for box office. Everything else is crooked and meaningless."

The producer immediately retorted: "Even if this is the case, there is no need to release the movie two days later. It will cost us a lot of box office and take a lot of risks."

Spielberg took his time: "My producers, please listen to me, it's actually in our best interest to do this."

"Xu Nan's "Area 51" is very popular on the Internet, which will increase the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, causing many audiences who don't want to watch movies to come to the theater to watch movies, and increase the market potential of the schedule."

"As for his movies, there is no doubt that the quality is not as good as ours. Maybe they will surpass our popularity at the beginning, but as long as the word-of-mouth of Xu Nan's movies collapses, then our movie "Western Story" will be able to step on Xu Nan's movies. The superior, absorb all the movie box office that originally belonged to him."

"So it was a very correct choice to let "Western Story" come out two days later."

The producer thought carefully.

Spielberg's statement makes a little sense.

When a movie is released, all competitors in the same schedule are competitors. If at this time, a popular movie that everyone is optimistic about suddenly collapses in word-of-mouth box office, then the box office that originally belonged to this movie will be sucked away by other movies.

There are precedents in China, such as Li Huanying and "Tang Tan San".

Originally, most of the box office during the Spring Festival belonged to "Tang Detective Three", but because of this movie's crotch, word-of-mouth plummeted, which led to the rise of "Li Huanying".

This is because "Tang Detective Three" has a good foundation laid by the first two films, coupled with strong publicity, otherwise, "Li Huanying" can absorb most of the box office in the same period.

There have been such precedents in Hollywood, so producers understand Spielberg's thinking.

But there is a premise for this, the premise is that the quality of Xu Nan's film collapses, but what if it doesn't collapse.

If "Tang Detective Three" is as good-looking as "Tang Detective One", can "Li Huanying" still stand up?

Even if it can get up, can "Li Huanying" still have such a high box office?
If Xu Nan's movie "Area 51" is of high quality, wouldn't their "Western Story" be like a food delivery?
The most important thing is, even if the quality of the movie is not high, what if Xu Nan engages in another show operation and raises the movie's box office?

This is not alarmist, because similar things have happened several times.

"Titanic 2" and "Bourne Bourne", both films are of high quality, but one hits the street and the other suffers.

I could have waited steadily for the peak popularity of "Area 51" to pass, wait and see the success or failure of this movie, adjust the schedule according to the situation, and make myself invincible.

Why do you have to choose to advance the schedule and compete head-on with Xu Nan?

Even West Story is high quality

But what if? ?

Who can say for sure about the market.

The producer was silent for a while, and then seriously persuaded: "Director Spielberg, it's best not to do this, it's very risky."

"Besides, our movie hasn't been promoted on a large scale. Facing the highly popular "Area 51", we are inherently at a disadvantage."

Spielberg waved his hand: "I have decided to do this, and I believe I can succeed."

""Western Story" is an excellent movie, and audiences will definitely choose it."

The producer was speechless.

Spielberg is a famous director and his boss. He has no way to stop what he decides.

After struggling for a long time, the producer finally could only say: "Okay, Director Spielberg, I respect your opinion."

"I'm going to contact the theaters now, I believe they will give us a good number of theaters and the proportion of film schedules."

"And our publicity plan has to be adjusted, at least not lower than "Area 51" in terms of popularity, otherwise we will suffer a lot in terms of attracting audiences."

Spielberg nodded: "Of course."

He just has confidence in the quality of the film and is not a fool. Of course, he must increase publicity.

The producer relaxed a little. Fortunately, director Spielberg remained calm, otherwise this time it would be really dangerous.

"Western Story" is indeed a good movie, and it's sure to captivate audiences.

As long as there are no accidents, they can make a lot of money this time.

Soon, the producer left in a hurry.

Rescheduling a movie is not something that can be done just by talking about it. It needs to notify the theaters and actors, and at the same time revise the publicity plan. In short, there are a lot of things to be busy.

Spielberg's expression was calm.

Releasing the film in advance is the result of his deliberation, and he firmly believes that this can maximize the box office of the film.

Because "Western Story" is a really good movie.

Xu Nan's pretentiousness is purely a fraudulent propaganda method. It may be able to attract some audiences at first, but when the audience recovers, they will definitely yell at Xu Nan.

At that time, his movies will definitely counterattack and crush Xu Nan's movies in turn.

Spielberg firmly believed in this, and his experience told him that doing so would definitely work.

Xu Nan, a damn Chinese director, is actually so arrogant in the United States. As the oldest director in the United States, he is also obliged to let this guy know that the United States is not a place for him to be arrogant.

And this starts with the release of the movie.
