Chapter 239 Negative news, filming suffers

With the sudden death of three movies, "The Extraordinary Family", "Lee Ke's Richest Aunt" and "Castle in the Sky", the film schedule is getting lower and lower.

The film schedules of "The Sky is Red" and "The Myth" are rising all the way. Together, the two movies account for more than 80.00% of the film schedules.

Jiang Che took his people around various cities, trying hard to boost the box office for the road show.

As an investor, Hong Xinyue also participated in one of the road shows.

After meeting Jiang Che, she was also very enthusiastic.

However, since Ye Ranqiu is also there, he can't get too close.

Gao Wen also came, but instead of supporting the road show, she paid for the show and invited other viewers to watch the movie for free in the theater next door, which was another kind of support.

Then make a hot search, which not only adds popularity to yourself, but also helps promote the movie.

In the past few days, the box office of "The Myth" was suppressed by "The Sky is Red". Fortunately, the difference was not big, it was only a difference of 3000 to [-] million in one day.

On a certain page, the score of "Myth" rose instead of falling, from 8.4 to 8.5.

This situation is enough to show that the quality of the "Myth" movie is high enough.

Generally speaking, the opening score of a movie is the highest when it is released.

Afterwards, it will slowly fall off.

A drop of 0.3 points is considered good, and most movies will drop 0.6 points.

In the long run, losing one point is normal.

However, "Mythology" increased by 0.1 points after a few days, which shows everyone's recognition of this movie.

On the other hand, "The Sky is Red" dropped, and its score has changed from 7.5 to 7.3, a drop of 0.2 points.

The score gap between the two films is already more than one point.

However, in terms of daily box office, "Myth" has always fallen short.

It was not until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, that "Myth" successfully completed the overtake.

Although there are still three points less in the lineup, the box office has successfully surpassed 1000 million!

As "Myth" overtakes the box office, fans of "Myth" are overjoyed.

However, at this time, some sexy practices about "Tongtianhong" were exposed on the Internet.

"There are pictures and the truth. "Tongtianhong" has been stealing the box office! My girlfriend insisted on supporting Lu Fan and took me to see "Space City". As a result, the cinema gave us tickets for "Tongtianhong", and then handwritten "Space City" City"!"

""The Sky is Red" is suspected of ticket fraud. Look at this ghost show. It's the same cinema, the same auditorium, only 15 minutes apart. Tickets were sold twice, and they were both full. Isn't this water injection?"

"Damn it, I took a look, and I also have this kind of operation of continuously selling tickets at the ghost theater. No wonder the attendance rate of "Myth" is a lot higher, but it is so difficult for the box office to catch up."

""The Sky is Red" is really disgusting. Two days ago, someone posted the ticket stubs online and talked about stealing the box office, but it was suppressed at the time and no one discussed it."

"I discovered an even more outrageous operation. Why is the ticket price for "Tong Tian Hong" in the cinema here in my house so expensive? A ticket costs over a thousand yuan, and it's sold out. Who is it sold to? Is it definitely not convenient for swiping? box office?"

"The movie "Tong Tian Hong" really doesn't need Bi Lian. No wonder the attendance rate of "The Myth" surpassed that of "Tong Tian Hong". The box office and film schedule just couldn't beat it. There is indeed something fishy!"

Some illegal operations in "Tongtianhong" have caused heated discussions on the Internet and have become hot searches.

For a time, the public was furious and ridiculed "Tongtianhong" in various ways.

A large number of neutral passers-by began to support "Myth" and expressed their intention to buy tickets to support "Myth" and not let "Myth" be compared with "Tongtianhong".

Regarding this matter, the main creative staff of "Myth" have naturally seen it.

It was the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone was eating afternoon tea together, resting and chatting, preparing for the road show in the evening.

Although the Spring Festival holiday has passed and all workers have gone to work, the box office market will plummet during the Spring Festival.

However, the roadshow has to continue the roadshow.

Jiang Che definitely wants to compete for the Spring Festival championship. If he can defeat Zhang Kaian, then he will become a god in one battle!
Moreover, in terms of movie quality, "The Myth" is indeed better than "The Sky is Red"!
This point has already been reflected, whether it is the score on the ticket purchase platform or the score on a certain flap.

So, there’s nothing wrong with better movies getting more box office, right?
Jiang Che felt that since he had this opportunity, he must seize it.

Doing road shows in a different city in one day is a bit tiring, but it’s all worth it.

After all, it’s rewarding.

Besides, when you make so much money, what is this hard work?
From Jiang Che's point of view, this is nothing, working class is called hard work.

It is really miserable to be busy working day and night and still be exploited by capital.

"I didn't expect that "The Sky is Red" would do such a thing secretly. It's really disgusting!"

"Zhang Kai'an's energy is still great. He has done so many things, and now he has become popular."

"I said, why can't we always compare to others? Ours is obviously more popular. The original reason is here!"

"Damn! The food looks really ugly!"

A group of people were scrolling with their mobile phones to see the latest updates about these things on the Internet. Everyone couldn't help but complain, and they were all very dissatisfied.

Ye Ranqiu said to Jiang Che: "I didn't expect that Director Zhang would do such a thing!"

She originally thought that an internationally renowned director like Zhang Kai'an would not do such a shameful and dirty thing.

I didn't expect that it would be so unlimited.

Jiang Che smiled and replied: "Great directors are not exempt from this. They definitely don't want to lose. As a newcomer, if I beat him, he will definitely feel unhappy. Think about it, a new singer will surpass you in sales. , are you happy?"

After hearing this, Ye Ranqiu replied: "If it is true that my skills are inferior to others, I am willing to admit defeat. This kind of thing is based on true ability. There is no point in engaging in conspiracy."

Now, she feels that she was very wise in not agreeing to join Zhang Kai'an's movie.

Since Zhang Kai'an is like this, it is really not worthy of her to participate.

"You are at a high level!"

Jiang Che gave Ye Ranqiu a thumbs up and praised.

In the entertainment industry, there are very few people with Ye Ranqiu's ideological consciousness.

In this circle, most people put interests above all else.

What is a principle?

The principle is no principle!

For profit, anything can be done.

Therefore, there are too many dirty things in this circle.

What are the unspoken rules?
Those are just trivial matters.

Think about those celebrities who were banned for tax evasion. That's a shame.

For the sake of immediate benefits, he is willing to take huge risks that will ruin his entire life.

It is conceivable how crazy people in this circle are for profit.

"Aren't the bosses stipulating that box office stealing and water injection are serious violations and are not allowed? Will they deal with this?" Liang Hui, who plays William, couldn't help but say.

Shao Xiong is an actor from the previous generation, and he was quite popular before.

The acting skills are very good, it is an absolute strength.

However, it gradually became obsolete later on.

This time he was invited by Jiang Che. After reading the script, he readily agreed, thinking that the movie would definitely be a hit.

It turns out there was nothing wrong with his vision.

"The Myth" is indeed an awesome movie!
Jiang Che turned a song into a movie, and this IP was so successful.

Jiang Che replied: "Most likely not. Zhang Kaian's status is there, and his connections are beyond our comparison. Therefore, no one will discuss this matter in two days. It must be a big matter and a trivial matter. It’s gone. Of course, I won’t do box office theft again. As for water injection, it’s hard to say. It’s really difficult to control with real money.”

These two things are very common in the film industry.

Therefore, he wasn't very surprised after seeing "Tiantianhong" use this kind of trick.

Liang Hui said: "I guess it will be restrained. In fact, the most important thing now is that the schedule of our movie must surpass "The Sky is Red". As long as the theaters are willing to increase our schedule, we can definitely surpass "The Sky is Red"!"

Although the current total box office is closer to [-] million than "The Sky is Red", it has only been released for a week.

Generally speaking, the life of a movie is one month after its release.

After a month, due to the release of other new movies and the fact that most people have seen it, it is basically difficult to sell it.

Even if the secret key is extended, the effect will not be too great.

In other words, there will be at least three weeks to see the outcome.

Therefore, as long as the film schedule exceeds "Tongtianhong", with the high attendance rate of "Myth", the total box office will overtake "Tongtianhong", which is a very stable thing.

"It's difficult, it's difficult. It's really difficult to arrange the film beyond the standard."

Jiang Che couldn't help shaking his head.

"Why, because Zhang Kai'an has more connections than us, the theater chain gives him face?"

Ye Ranqiu asked quickly after hearing this.

She doesn't know much about movies.

Jiang Che explained: "There may be some reasons for this, but it is not the most important thing. The main reason is that our movie, including subtitles, totals nearly two hours and five 10 minutes. The movie is too long. As for "Tong Tian Hong", including subtitles, it lasts just over two hours. In other words, if our movie is shown twice, "Tong Tian Hong" can be screened almost three times. In this way, if you do the math, it is equivalent to "Tong Tian Hong". "One more screening."

"How much extra revenue will be generated from this show? The theater can get a lot of money from this! Therefore, it is normal for the theater to schedule more "Tong Tian Hong" for the sake of profit. We want to exceed the schedule of "Tong Tian Hong". It is more difficult. Unless our single-day box office continues to rise, if we can open up a box office gap of more than 3000 million with "Tong Tian Hong", we will probably be on the same level as "Tong Tian Hong". Then, the box office gap will continue to widen. Then there is hope that it will be exceeded.”

Theater chains have to divide their money. In the face of clear profit figures, the choice of theaters is very clear.

Although it is not ruled out that some theater owners will schedule movies based on personal preferences. If they think the movie is better, they will schedule more movies.

However, the vast majority of people are still more realistic.

Who the hell would have trouble with money!

Therefore, "Myth", which is too long, naturally suffers a lot in scheduling.

"So this is ah……"

Ye Ranqiu nodded slowly.

She hadn't studied the secrets involved. It turns out that if the movie is shot for a long time, it will still suffer from such hidden disadvantages.

Liang Hui nodded and said, "Yes, the time is too long, which is indeed a problem."

Everyone's expressions were slightly solemn.

The opponent is Zhang Kaian, and the pressure is already high.

Jiang Che encouraged everyone: "Okay, just do it, don't be timid. Anyway, we just need to work harder to promote it. Such a good opportunity must be seized."

"Yes, just do it and it's done!"

"Remake Zhang Kai'an's "The Sky is Red" and win the Spring Festival championship!"

"Indeed, if I miss this time, I don't know when the next time I want to win against Zhang Kai'an."

After everyone heard this, their fighting spirit was ignited.

As the top director in China, Zhang Kai'an beat him to win the Spring Festival championship, which is so valuable!
"Then do you want to extend the road show?"

Ye Ranqiu asked.

Originally, it was decided that the road show would end at the Lantern Festival.

It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so it's half a month of road show.

It's not long, it's not short.

Jiang Che replied: "We can consider extending it to more than 20 days."

If the situation is good later, you can even consider doing a road show for a month!

On the other side, Zhang Kai'an looked at the negative news on the Internet, and said to his assistant: "Go get in touch with someone, see how much it will cost, and remove the hot search as soon as possible."

If you don't know, do nothing but yourself.

In fact, he was mentally prepared and knew that this kind of thing would be exposed sooner or later.

After all, paper can't contain fire.

"Do you want to continue to operate later?"

Producer Pang Wei asked Zhang Kaian.

Although she is a producer, Zhang Kai'an's opinion still prevails on various matters.

After Zhang Kaian thought for a while, he said: "Stop stealing from the box office. If you continue to do it, it will easily cause public outrage. As for the water injection, stop it for a few days. See the situation. If it doesn't look good, add a little more. Of course, there will be no movement. Keep it small. Also tell those theaters that the operation should not be too obvious. You can go to those normal shows. It is a working day and there are many free seats in each show, so just use those. Although the operation is a bit troublesome, but I can’t see it. It’s stupid to keep clearing the ghost field.”

Pang Weihuan nodded and said: "Yes, I understand, I will communicate with them. By the way, do you want to make another move?"

"What trick?"

Zhang Kaian asked.

Pang Wei said: "Just let people pirate it and spread the pirated version of "The Myth". Once the pirated version spreads, it will inevitably affect their box office."

After hearing this, Zhang Kaian shook his head again and again: "This thing can't be done, the country is very strict about this area. The movie has just been released, and the pirated version of the blurred version is not very concerned. Because, everyone can't watch it. But leaking the high-definition source, It will definitely be investigated. Don’t do this matter. And we are competitors now, if we really want to make something happen, we will be the first to suspect.”

Spread other people's pirated copies?
The risk of this matter is not small.

If he was found out, it would be the end of the world.

Zhang Kai'an thinks it's nothing to steal box office and inject water, because his peers do it
But if you steal your opponent's videos and spread them, it will cause public outrage!
Targeted!

Therefore, this matter must not be done.
