I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 302 Officially announced the withdrawal! The work is done and the fame is hidden
Due to the very good publicity effect brought by the "Dream Builders" roadshow on August 1st, the attention of the entire network to this drama is getting higher and higher.

Not only Daye Cinema, but other cinemas also immediately started meetings to discuss whether to add more schedules for the show based on the good reputation of the show on the Internet.

But it is very difficult to take a big bite out of a giant crocodile that has already signed a contract.

All films take the summer season traffic as a sure thing.

The network of relationships behind the films that can be released during the summer is not as simple as it seems.

For example, there was an art film in August that seemed to be the weakest in terms of investment, casting and director, but it was actually very strong.

The producer behind this film is a well-known star in the industry, who has a strong influence in both the business and entertainment circles.

Therefore, even if the cinema needs to adjust the schedule of "Dream Builders", it will definitely not touch the cake of this film.

Some commercial films that seem to be very famous on the Internet, such as those with a strong production team and top-tier actors.

But because the network of relationships behind it is very ordinary, it can be controlled by the cinema and the scheduling can be manipulated.

If the public wants to know which film has strong connections behind it, they just need to look at the box office and check the release schedule.

There are some films whose box office performance is average and far from being in the top five, but their scheduling can get treatment comparable to the top three.

There is no doubt that the relationship is very strong.

The film and television industry is a society that places great emphasis on personal relationships, and it is difficult to succeed solely by relying on talent.

But if you can make it out, you won't have to worry about the future. After all, if you can stand out surrounded by such a circle of contacts, you will definitely be a big hit.

In Daye Cinema.

After some discussion, Liu Chang finally overruled the majority and scheduled "Dream Builder" for 5 shows a day.

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of treatment is like the cinema’s own son.

Even though five screenings are few in number, as the film hasn’t even been released yet, what we are betting on is expectations.

It is already very promising that Daye Cinema can arrange five shows a day.

As for these five shows, we deliberately compressed the six shows of one film into five, moved one of them to "Dream Builders", and then squeezed out one from a niche and unpopular film for "Dream Builders", and finally made up five shows a day.

After scheduling five shows for the day, Liu Chang sat alone in his office, looking at the promotional poster for "Dream Builder" and muttering to himself:

"You have to do your best for me. I'm betting my entire year's bonus on this. If the box office doesn't do well, I'll have to pay back all the money I earned from And Then There Were None."

The promotional poster of "Dream Builders" adopts a group portrait mode.

Every scientist in the film appears on the poster and they look equally good, but because Jinli is the female lead, her figure will be slightly enlarged.

Liu Chang suddenly discovered that this poster was very similar to the poster of "And Then There Were None".

The poster of And Then There Were None also adopts a group-image model, with everyone being equal.

However, in "Dream Builders", Jinli is the well-deserved first role, while in "And Then There Were None", she is at most on par with the other leading actors.

Liu Chang muttered again: "Everyone says you are very lucky. Since you are the lead actor in this film, I think you can inherit some of your good luck..."

As the discussion at Daye Cinema ended, meetings at other well-known cinemas also ended.

But the results of these theater discussions were not ideal.

In their analysis, the reason why "Dream Builders" has soared in popularity online is entirely due to the novel and unique format of "using drama as a roadshow."

No movie has ever done that before.

Out of curiosity, netizens called out to go and watch it.

However, this curiosity is like a gust of wind, which will soon be blown away after it comes and will not last long.

"Let's keep the schedule of three shows a day. If the show is really well-received and has a good box office, it won't be too late to make adjustments later."

"I also prefer to rehearse three shows a day."

"What is there to discuss? The dramas produced by Zhong Wen Tai have always been well-received but not popular. They have good reputations, but not as many people go to watch them as expected.

Scheduling three shows a day, I feel that it is too much of an honor for him. If it weren't for the national-level project behind him to put pressure on him, I would have given him two shows a day at most.

He was given two performances because he is an internationally renowned director!"

——Somehow, what the person in charge of Shenglong Cinema said during the meeting reached Zhong Wentai’s ears.

Director Zhong is one of those people who is not well-informed in the entertainment industry.

Often by the time he gets to know the news, other well-informed people have already known it and it has been passed around once or twice.

As soon as Sui Lingfang learned the news, she called Jinli, who was still on tour, and asked her what Director Zhong thought.

Jinli took a break from her busy schedule to peel an orange and eat it to supplement her daily vitamin C intake.

"I have no idea. Director Zhong doesn't know about this."

Sui Lingfang nodded imperceptibly: "It's better not to know, so as not to affect his mentality. Although for a big director like him, mere rumors can't hurt him."

But Sui Lingfang was a little worried.

These news coming out of the film industry are sometimes true and sometimes false, but they all vaguely represent an attitude.

Duan Yucai's (the person in charge of Shenglong Cinema) words spread so widely, and no one jumped out to say they disagreed with his opinion.

From this, it can be seen that the film industry is probably not very confident about the box office of "Dream Builders".

When a low-budget, arty, and niche drama like "And Then There Were None" can earn over 5 million at the box office, everyone would think it's very impressive.

Because the ceiling for this kind of film is right there, very few people watch it, let alone have a box office?

"And Then There Were None" is already a "cold miracle" in the film industry, where the overall box office performance has been unsatisfactory this year.

But put it on "Dream Builder".

As an art film, a box office of more than 5 million is definitely not enough. It must at least make more than 10 billion to avoid being a flop.

Considering Director Zhong’s reputation, 10 billion is a bit embarrassing. It should be at least 15 billion.

Sui Lingfang expressed her concerns.

While she was talking, Jinli peeled another small orange.

After listening to this, she thought about how Director Zhong had been very interested in this drama recently and how he had revealed his ambitions to the actors many times, so she couldn't help but say sincerely:
"Fortunately, Director Zhong didn't know about this, otherwise he would definitely not be able to swallow this."

Sui Lingfang: “Hmm?”

Why is it different from what she imagined?
Jinli said, "Sister Fang, Director Zhong takes this drama very seriously, more than the ones he has made in the past. I'm afraid he won't tolerate anyone slandering this movie. Just wait and see."

After Sui Lingfang hung up the phone, she was wondering what Director Zhong would do.

A crazy thought suddenly flashed through her mind: He couldn't possibly fight with Duan Yucai, could he? As it turned out, Zhong Wentai was really that crazy.
-
The roadshow promotion method in the form of drama has gained a good reputation and traffic on the Internet, breaking away from the previous curse of "critical but not commercially successful".

Director Zhong has experienced the peak of traffic these two days, and it feels really good.

He finally understood why some of his old friends would transform and make commercial films. It turns out that being favored by traffic can make people inflate!
The dramas he had previously filmed were internationally famous, but only a small number of people knew about them.

This time, the publicity for "Dream Builders" was very powerful, so powerful that Director Zhong felt like he was "achieving an empire."

As a result, at this time, someone whose name he couldn't remember, the one with the surname Duan, appeared.

Some people came out to say that his film was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, and the box office was dismal. If it weren't for the support of a national project, they wouldn't even be willing to show it three times a day.

Pooh!
What the hell is he?

He is also qualified to comment on the drama he filmed.

Director Zhong Wen-tai's rebellious psychology has been completely aroused. It's understandable that this was the case with the movies he made before, but it's obvious that "Dream Builders" can achieve different results.

Anyone who stands in his way is his enemy!
So at eight o'clock in the evening on August 2, Zhong Wentai, who had just learned of Duan Yucai's remarks less than two hours ago, made the next decision resolutely.

Zhong Wentai: [In view of the rumors circulating in the industry, we now respond:
Since Shenglong Cinema is not optimistic about the drama "Dream Builders" and you feel wronged to be on this drama, then you might as well not do it!
There is no need to talk about whether the government supports me or not. When there was no support, I never forced anyone to buy or sell. Now that there is support, I will definitely not force anyone to buy or sell.

From now on, I will terminate the cooperation contract with @Shenglong Cinema. Since you don’t like it, then just don’t broadcast it. I will quickly find a place for the movies you like! 】

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Director Zhong Wentai’s remarks on his blog instantly became the number one trending search topic.

Duan Yucai’s comments in the industry did not spread widely and were not posted on the Internet.

But after Zhong Wentai exposed the matter, with the support of a large number of netizens who wanted to watch the drama, many public and media accounts that knew the inside story suddenly emerged and shot videos to tell the story of the dispute between Shenglong Cinema and director Zhong Wentai.

"It is reported that because the Dream Builders Roadshow has received great reviews and has become more popular online, on August 8, many cinemas hastily held meetings to discuss whether to schedule more time for this film..."

“Here comes the point, my dears, let’s remember a key point here: Dream Builders was temporarily inserted into the summer schedule in August.

The film had not been released before because it had not been approved, but now that it has passed the approval process and has been approved, it is being rushed to be released.”

"Shenglong Cinema is very pessimistic about the prospects of "Dream Builders". According to insiders, they held an internal meeting today. Duan Yucai still criticized "Dream Builders" and said several times that if it weren't for the support of the state, he would definitely not schedule three screenings..."

The media accounts that really know some inside information will deliberately add a twist at the end of their revelations.

"In fact, some cinemas in the industry are still very optimistic about this drama. They have set a schedule for five shows a day against all odds. I won't reveal the details."

Although he said he would not reveal it, he still took out a piece of white paper and wrote down two initials in thick black ink - DY!

The media accounts that were unaware of the inside story did not miss the debate and said in a fair and impartial tone:
“It’s understandable that Shenglong Cinema has concerns, but since three shows have already been scheduled, stop complaining. It’s really a green tea show.

As for director Zhong Wen-tai, I can understand that he was very angry that such a promising film was not taken seriously by others.

But he was still too impulsive. After all, Shenglong was one of the five most famous cinema chains in the country. Even if he was a big director, he would not end up well if he offended the cinema.

The above is my opinion, what do you think? Come and click the little red heart and write down your discussion! "

……

Sui Lingfang was caught off guard by Director Zhong's sudden outburst.

She had only one thought in her mind: Jinli is actually a prophet, right? !
But this incident was just a dispute between a big director and a cinema, and strictly speaking it had no impact on the actors, so Sister Fang quickly calmed down.

She made a special call to Jinli and asked her, "How is the situation over there?"

Jinli glanced at Director Zhong who was leisurely drinking tea in the lounge. She instinctively decided not to tell the truth and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Sui Lingfang laughed: "Chenxi Entertainment did not participate in the investment of "Dream Builder", and your position does not represent the director's position. No one called me to ask, what about you?"

Jinli said succinctly: "Not bad."

Sui Lingfang felt relieved: "If you need any help, just call me. If I can't leave here, I will come here in person."

Jinli smiled and said, "No, I'm just participating in the road show. Xiaoqin took good care of me."

She hung up the phone, walked to the opposite side of Zhong Wen Tai, and sipped a cup of fragrant tea first.

Well, it's delicious.

Jinli felt a little regretful. It was a pity that she couldn't drink too much at night, otherwise she would not be able to sleep.

After she finished drinking, she asked leisurely, "Director Zhong, do you really want to fight with Shenglong Cinema?"

Zhong Wentai looked up and glanced at her. "You're asking even though you already know the answer. I've already posted a blog post."

Jinli straightened her expression, "You are not such an impulsive person."

Just as Zhong Wentai was about to answer, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Shenglong Cinema.

He hung up without a second thought.

The person on the other end was also very persistent and kept redialing after being hung up.

Zhong Wentai hung up again as if it was a joke.

Well, this is a good opportunity for me to practice being a rhythm master.

When the person on the other end of the phone stopped calling, Zhong Wentai said confidently:

"Let me ask you, what is the current hot search ranking of "Dream Builders", what is its ranking on the real-time popularity list, how many self-media accounts are participating in the discussion, and how is the box office pre-sale?"

After this series of questions came down, Jinli's expression quickly changed.

She reacted and asked, "So, Director, did you do this on purpose?"

Tsk, old ginger is still spicy!

Eliminating a cinema that is unwilling to cooperate will gain you continued attention from the entire network!

Why can he become an international director?

When I was making art films before, I didn’t bother to use such tactics.

But when it comes to creating public opinion, I’m not afraid at all!

Director Zhong Wentai gently brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders and said calmly, "Don't guess. I didn't say anything."

Jinli gave him a thumbs up, "Yes, you didn't say anything, you are so famous."

She must learn a lot from these old foxes.

Director Zhong: I am still as wild as a young man, holding Huang on my left and Cang on my right! How dare you, a young boy, look down on your grandfather! I won't believe Zhong unless I pull you hard!
