This director needs to apologize

Chapter 24: Exam questions exceed the outline and peers appear
"Tie Zhu, guess how many test screenings our "Holiday in the Magic City" won?"

In the general manager's office of Bojue, Ma Yunteng slumped on the boss's chair as usual, shaking his legs with a proud look on his face.

Chen Yiming is willing to fulfill his friend's desire to show off and compliments him very cooperatively.

"Master Teng personally takes action. Who in the circle dares not to give face? I think it will take 50 games no matter what?"

When Ma Yunteng heard this, he straightened his lips to the corners of his eyes.

"50 shows? That's the starting price, at least 200 shows! Don't think it's too much, it's not the top yet. You have to study the psychology of line managers in arranging films. The theaters that are willing to arrange a trial screening for us don't care at all. Schedule two more shows. Do you know what it means to be a brother? My brothers only schedule movies to make friends. One show and two shows are not a big deal."

"Based on this, you've got all the top ten theater chains, right?"

"That's natural. Not only in the top ten, but also in the cities you listed for me, A-level theaters in the city centers are basically won. There is a guaranteed one show during prime time every day, and about 1/3 will also have an additional afternoon show."

"So what's the approximate total?"

"Just wait for me to do the math. There are 8 theaters in the 45 cities of Di, Mo, Sui, Shen, Shu, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Ling. One movie per day is 45. Add 30% to 60. Multiply by 7 , the total number is about 400 games.”

"Fuck me, I actually negotiated so many times, I'm so awesome!"

Ignoring Ma Yunteng's self-pleasure, Chen Yiming silently reasoned in his heart.

The current theaters have an average of 150 seats, and the attendance rate for the annual blockbuster movies can reach 8%, the first 7% of the year, 5% for the weekly tops in regular schedules, and the passing rate for postponed releases is 3%.

If you want to rely on the attendance rate to convince theaters to expand the film schedule for the official release, the attendance rate at the test screening must be at least 7, which means that the number of viewers at each show must exceed [-].

After seven days of trial screening, at least 7 people will be mobilized to watch the movie.

How many people are there in Guyuehe's support team?

I have already blended into 12 groups, most of which are full groups with over a thousand people and an activity rate of more than 3% for 80 days. If you multiply it by 10, you will probably be the basic base of Guyuehe's die-hard fans.

4 is 1/3 of the mobilization rate, which is a bit high.

If the mobilization rate is lowered to 1/10 of the average level, then the minimum is 1.2 people.

During prime hours in prime locations, the natural flow of people in the theater is about 1/5 of the peak, with an average of about 20 people per show.

400 times 20, the natural traffic is 8000.

Adding up, we can solve half of the problem, and the remaining 2 people can’t necessarily be counted by relying on the wool obtained from city forums and the young people who were deceived by broad bean ratings!
He glanced at Da Zhuang who was begging for praise with mixed emotions, "Brother, you did an excellent job!"

Originally, he thought that the 100 screenings in the preview theater would be overtaken, but with his ability to be three steps ahead, he would definitely be able to crowd out the screening hall.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, 100 turned into 400. This question is beyond the scope!
What can I do? I have to hold on even to the end even if I'm on my knees. I can't let the chairman's heart be cold due to the test of alcohol.

Think about it from another perspective. Nowadays, the average movie ticket costs 30 yuan per ticket, and 1 people equals 4 million box office.

Isn’t it quite exciting to wait until the official release and launch the banner of being the “Champion of Screening Screenings in Film History” and brag about the China Screening Screenings to usher in the era of “million box office”?

Not to mention anything else, if you add this 100 million, even if you keep the 10% film schedule unchanged, you can still round up and boast that the box office will exceed [-] million on the opening day.

This low-budget debut has become the biggest dark horse at the box office this year. It can repay its capital in one day and then make a net profit. I just ask you if it’s enough of a gimmick.

Asking Ma Yunteng, who was so excited, to go home and rest quickly, Chen Yiming returned to his seat and immediately contacted Tang Song, Li Dong, Broad Bean and other people. The little whip swished and the indicator doubled.

Tang Song and Broad Bean had limited potential, so he paid extra attention to Li Dong and doubled the local cooperation forums in eight cities, so he added an additional 20 in marketing fees.

So far, Chen Yiming has spent more than 50 yuan in marketing fees, and the box office of the test screening is only more than 100 million yuan. In terms of profit sharing, it is purely a loss and a profit.

But if you don’t scream at the test screening, no one will hear you when it’s officially released.

……

Entering November, the news of "Holiday in the Magic City" was indeed thrown to the bottom, and the news of Gu Yuehe's comeback was also over the top.

Due to the chain reaction brought about by "Three Kingdoms - Guandu", major productions are being released at the end of the year, and the Lunar New Year movie has started early since the end of October.

The first one to enter the theater was "Mobile Police", a new film by Hong Kong director Du Wenchen. It premiered at midnight on the weekend of November 11 and took in a box office of 1 million.

Chen Yiming specifically chose a morning session to pay his respects. Mr. Du stopped filming gangsters and instead filmed police officers. This was a new thing.

As a result, Chen Yiming was disappointed, saying that in "Mobile Police", the core is still loyalty.Director Du has always had a deep love for gangsters. Under his lens, Lu Qingyun, who plays the police captain No. [-], is just average, while Wu Zhenyu, who plays the anti-No. [-] double-buck red stick, shines brightly.

A member of a gang, he values ​​rules and loyalty, and does not say a word when he is wronged. Later on, he turns against the robber and dies together with the robber.

The mobile police were used as a backdrop, and the plot gave people an indescribable sense of twist.

Sure enough, the high-end culture of Hong Kong City is not something that mainland people like us can understand.

The next Monday, Yao Zhanjun, a veteran director of Xichuan Factory, came to the stage with a very touching movie title, "The Hanging Coffin".

Chen Yiming went away excitedly and returned angrily.

How can I put it this way, a terrible viewing experience.

I originally thought it was a suspense story, but at the worst it would have been a fantasy landscape film, with a hanging coffin, which has its own mystery.

It turned out that he was wrong. This is a biographical film about a man carrying corpses on a mountain, a thoroughly realistic theme.

An excerpt from the life of an educated youth in a ravine is basically the same old story of scars and suffering.

Moreover, let alone hanging coffins, there is no coffin in the movie.

Report director Yao’s film title fraud with your real name!

The silence in this film echoes the single-digit audience in the theater.

On Tuesday the 3rd, the public relations failure of "Force 4", which had been released for four days on Nuts, spread across the ocean to China.

The professional score is 5.3 and the fan score is 33%. As a sequel movie, it does not even reach the passing mark.

Despite many efforts, Universal still failed to postpone the release date to China. The originally scheduled appearance of the entire cast at the National Day Auditorium will probably be scrapped, because there is news that several big names, including the lead actors, are publicly blaming the director of DISS.

Who changed the director of this film to a Korean? If he doesn't take over, who will.

Sequel movies are indeed profitable, but they are a hot potato for the director who takes over, and they will inevitably have their hands tied when filming.

Let's continue the style, say that you don't want to make progress and find another way, and say that you make up and make random changes, highlighting that you are not a human being inside and outside.

The Korean director named Park is a bold and innovative type, and he has taken quite big steps, crossing the Pacific Ocean directly to the country of Little Japan.

Chen Yiming has not watched the movie, but just looking at the synopsis, he felt that the changes were too radical.

This series has a typical configuration of two male protagonists, a Latino car dealer owner, a loyal brother who is not bad in gangs, and a white undercover policeman who is called a gangster but is actually a good guy. By chance, the two team up to drive cars and defeat bad guys.

The first three parts of the series basically follow this framework. The difference is that as the box office continues to increase, more and more characters are added to the protagonist's side.

Also, the bad guy can keep changing bosses, and the protagonist can never die alone, so the number of bosses can be increased.

By the fourth film, the protagonist group has reached a new high, with seven people in total, and the status within the team cannot be balanced no matter what.

When racing in the small country of Japan, the status of Japanese characters must not be low. The strong dragons cannot overpower the local snakes.

After weighing the balance, the white undercover among the two protagonists was sacrificed and became the loyal brother's younger brother.

This change respects the logic of the script, but the director forgot one thing. Movies need to be logical, but life is not!

The white protagonist becomes a supporting role, and Latinos and Asians play the leading role. What is this?This is politically incorrect!
In one sentence, there are neither white nor black protagonists. This kind of movie is unlikely to get high box office in Nuts.

So when the movie is released in China, can the box office be saved?

Chen Yiming felt that he might not be very optimistic.

Nut people are not happy to see white people as the younger brothers. Do Chinese people like to see young people as the protagonists?
Wednesday the 4th.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yiming and Ma Yunteng came to the International Vientiane Cinema.

It’s finally the turn of “Holiday in Magic City” to make its debut.
