As promised, Xiao Xianrou, will you play the suona in the haunted house?

Puhai.

Radio Center.

studio.

"It's time to say goodbye to everyone again. Thank you all listeners for your continued support of the "Late Night Ghost Stories" column. I am your host Xiaoyue."

"Before the end of the program, an advertisement will be inserted. The supernatural novel "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" serially broadcast by "Late Night Ghost Stories" has been adapted into a movie of the same name and is being screened in major theaters. Interested listeners can go to the theater to support .”

A few minutes later, Pei Chuyue came out of the studio.

"Sister Chen, I'll get off work today!"

Pei Chuyue said to the female director in the studio while organizing her things.

"Get off work so early today? Do you have a date?"

When the female director saw Pei Chuyue leaving get off work early for the first time, she couldn't help but asked curiously.

"There is no date. Anyway, I have been playing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" for almost half a year. Now that the movie adapted from the novel is released, I have to support it."

Pei Chuyue said in a resentful tone that she hadn't seen Zhou Xing for two months.

The last time we met was after the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was completed. I had a quick meeting when I returned to Urami on the weekend, and then I went to supervise the post-production work of the film non-stop.

Although she felt a little resentful, Pei Chuyue bought a movie ticket and planned to go to the cinema to support her.

When Pei Chuyue got off work, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, but the cinema was still very busy.

"Do you still have tickets for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"What's the matter with your cinema? There are so few shows?"

"It's just that no one watches bad movies, and there are so many screenings. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is so good, but there are so few screenings."

"What a shabby theater. You can't even buy a ticket. It's gone!"

Since the word-of-mouth spread last week, and the unearthing of the tomb of Queen Jingjue in Western Xinjiang has caused a stir on the entire Internet, the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has skyrocketed across the entire Internet.

Countless netizens came to the cinema out of curiosity and wanted to see what kind of movie it was that could make the archaeological team learn how to dig ancient tombs.

However, the low-ranking films of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in theaters simply cannot satisfy these audiences, thus causing a large number of movie fans to be dissatisfied.

Theaters quickly noticed the phenomenon in theaters and had to temporarily increase the number of films scheduled for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

On Monday of the second week, the film schedule of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" increased from 15.00% to [-]%.

The total movie schedule of movie theaters is basically fixed. Since the movie schedule of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has increased, there will inevitably be a decrease in the movie schedule of other movies.

The theater chain finally chose to reduce the number of films, which was "The Legend of Deer", which had a box office decline in just three days. The number of films was reduced from 20.00% to 20.00%.

Huayi's "Deer Town" originally had a bad reputation, but now the film schedule is decreasing, and the box office data fell off a cliff on the same day.

When the box office data came out that day, the box office of "Deer Town" was only 300 million.

Last Sunday, "Deer Town" still had at least 800 million, but at the beginning of the second week, the box office dropped sharply by 500 million.

The box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that day was 900 million, successfully ranking first in the box office that day.

When the good news reached Yanjing, there was a burst of cheers in Yang Sisi's studio.

"According to this trend, the total box office will exceed [-] million tomorrow, and it is expected to exceed [-] million this week."

Yang Sisi's face turned red with excitement. After months of hard work, she finally got the reward.

As long as the box office can exceed [-] million, her investment can basically be recovered.

Judging from the current box office trend of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the final box office has a chance to hit [-] billion.

Because judging from the current box office performance of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", theaters will definitely continue to increase their film schedules, and the box office will naturally continue to grow.

After all, theater chains can’t struggle with money.

In fact, this is indeed the case. On the second day, the film schedule of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" by major theaters increased to 20.00%, which is already the same as Huayi's "The Deer Town".

The same film schedule, but the box office performance between the two is worlds apart.

The box office of "Deer Town" that day was 800 million.

The box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" broke the single-day box office record for this year's Spring Festival, with 900 million, which was 700 million higher than the 200 million on the first day of "Deer Town".

This record only lasted for 24 hours, and was refreshed by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" itself on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, without a large increase in the film schedule, the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" once again set a new high, with 400 million in a single day.

At the same time, the total box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" also reached 1000 million, successfully surpassing Huayi's "The Storm of Deer Town" and causing a sensation on the Internet.

[Yang Sisi counterattacked her old employer, and the first film she invested in after establishing her own studio successfully overtook the new film produced by her old employer. 】

[Can the dark horse of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" be able to become the box office champion in this year's Spring Festival? 】

Some time ago, Huang Zhongyi was still asking his naval forces to belittle Yang Sisi, blaming Yang Sisi's success on Huayi.

Now that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has made a counterattack at the box office, his previous remarks have become a clown.

"Facts have proven that Yang Sisi's departure was the right choice."

"When the tide goes out, you realize who was swimming naked."

"Huayi has indeed been on a decline in recent years. The films he has produced in consecutive years have all received bad reviews."

"I guess Yang Sisi chose to run away from Huayi after seeing this!"

"Yang Sisi has such a good vision, no wonder she left Huayi without any hesitation."

At the same time, several families are happy and others are sad.

Huayi Film Production Company.The two brothers Huang Zhongkun were sitting in the office with sad faces.

"Brother, what should I do now?"

Huang Zhongyi was completely panicked. "The Storm of Deer Town" is Huayi's largest investment this year, with a total investment of [-] million.

If you want to make money back, the box office needs to be at least [-] million.

But judging from the current trend, let alone [-] million, it is questionable whether the final total box office can exceed [-] million.

Even Huang Zhongkun, who has always been particular about keeping his expression unchanged even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, couldn't help but rub his eyebrows at this moment.

At this moment, Huang Zhongkun's secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, Mr. Chen from Hangzhou just called. He seemed to want to reduce the schedule of "The Deer Town" on the phone."

Although Huang Zhongkun had been mentally prepared for it, he still sighed when it actually happened.

"You want to reduce the film schedule? If you reduce it further, you won't even be able to maintain 20.00% of the film schedule. Why? It was promised at the beginning that within the first two weeks of the release, at least 20.00% of the film schedule can be guaranteed."

"They are so shameless. They promised for half a month, but now it's not even ten days, and they are about to break their promise."

When Huang Zhongyi heard what his secretary said, he was furious on the spot.

These theater chain bosses really fall out faster than they can read a book.

"It's not the first day you've met them, so it's expected that they would do something like this."

Huang Zhongkun snorted coldly. He had actually guessed this result, but he just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Although the bosses of these theater chains were very happy to agree at first, as long as Huayi's movie does not sell well, they will be equally happy to go back on their word.

"Brother, you're not going to agree to them, are you?"

Huang Zhongyi felt a chill in his heart and said a little unhappy.

Huang Zhongkun nodded and said, "What if I don't agree?"

"Why? Why?" Huang Zhongyi said loudly and incomprehensibly: "20.00% of the film arrangement was what they promised themselves. Why should they regret it now?"

Huang Zhongkun glanced at Huang Zhongyi with some disappointment, and said helplessly: "Zhongyi, you are doing this out of pure emotion."

"They only promised verbally at the beginning. If they are determined to go back on their word, we can't stop them."

"Even if they promise not to reduce the film schedule, we have completely offended them."

Huang Zhongkun sees things much more clearly than Huang Zhongyi. Talking about feelings with theaters is the most retarded thing to do.

Because there is only one thing that theater chains value, and that is the box office.

The box office of "Deer Town" is now irretrievable. If the theaters are allowed to insist on the current number of films, it will be a loss-making business for the theaters.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

If Huang Zhongkun does this, he will completely offend the theaters.

If it offends the theater chain, the box office of "Deer Town" may not be able to make back its money. The key is that it will also affect Huayi's future films.

Rather than doing such a thankless thing, it is better to be more generous and let the theaters owe you a favor.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the box office of "Deer Town" has been unable to recover. If you offend the theater chain, you can't get back your money, so why bother to be such a villain.

The worst case scenario would be to find another opportunity later to get these people to return the favor.

Although Huang Zhongyi felt extremely unhappy, he also knew that in terms of doing business, he was still a little far behind Huang Zhongkun, so it would be right to listen to him.

As soon as the film schedule of "Deer Town" decreased, the number of films of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" increased.

20.00%.

20.00% five.

……

On the third Saturday of the third week, which is the day of the Lantern Festival, the film schedule of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" reached 30.00%, and the single-day box office on that day also reached a new high.

The single-day box office exceeded 1.03 million, [-] million.

It broke the highest single-day box office record in Chinese film history.

In just half a month, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" broke the single-day box office record three times in a row.

At this time, the total box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" also reached one billion.

【good news! "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has a box office of over 13 billion, and is selected as the [-]th movie in the history of Chinese movies to have a box office of over [-] billion. 】

So far, in the history of Chinese film box office, only [-] films have reached a box office record of one billion.

After the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" exceeded [-] billion, several people in the creative team immediately became more successful.

New director Guo Fan has also risen from obscurity to become a popular figure among the new generation of directors in China.

Weekend, who has always been criticized for not being able to perform well in even the boss-type TV series, entered the billion-dollar box office club for the first time in a movie.

Even Lei Jiayin, who no one knew before, suddenly came into everyone's sight because of his role as Fatty Wang.

Except for Yang Sisi, basically everyone else in the creative team is new to the film industry.

Netizens couldn't help but be a little stunned after discovering this.

No one expected that these newcomers would win the Spring Festival box office championship.
