"What? Are they joking? This is an annual blockbuster from Hollywood! The Chinese people love to watch it most!"

Hearing the report from his subordinates, apart from the guaranteed [-] screenings on the premiere day, all theaters could no longer continue to increase the number of screenings for Warner's new movie "Edge of Tomorrow". . .

When I chatted with the directors of these theaters, they didn't have this attitude at all!

"It may have been like this in the past, but there have been some accidents recently."

As he spoke, a staff member next to him handed Albert a translated newspaper.

I saw a huge title marked on it, ""Sinking Country" - an audio-visual feast of Chinese domestic science fiction movies."

According to the introduction above, this local Chinese film work, which was treated with extreme contempt by Albert, after its premiere day received 600 million box office, in the next week, its performance in all aspects was almost every day. Rolling and leaping forward in a ninety-degree posture.

Over 300 million in two days, 100 million in four days, [-] million in seven days... Just yesterday, the single-day box office of "Sinking Country" just broke through [-] million, once again winning the record for the highest single-day box office of the year, and also broke the record set by "Lost in Thailand" It set a domestic movie box office record of [-] million yuan in a single day.

However, according to the existing popularity of this work and the gradually expanding positive word-of-mouth effect, whether it is seen by theaters or ordinary audiences, its strength is still in the stage of rising and explosive, and it is far from finished.

Therefore, even if there are still a bunch of imported blockbusters waiting to be released, almost all theaters have chosen to extend the screening date of "Sinking Kingdom" for the sake of immediate benefits, and increase the number of their films as much as possible. Suppressed the screening scale of other films.

Usually, the filming date of a film is one to two weeks, but according to the popularity of the work in front of you, a group of mainstream theaters represented by Aida and China Film Group, which account for more than 80.00% of the screens in the country, even directly The screening date of "Sinking Country" was planned to be one month later, until the end of August.

"After getting off to a good start at the premiere, with the good word-of-mouth publicity and the second wave of strong promotion by Bluegrass Media, the average daily screening of "Sinking Country" nationwide has reached nearly 55, and the average attendance rate throughout the day has reached 2% The above. Analysts pointed out that although Hollywood blockbusters have strong visual impact, weak stories and "value vacuum" are fatal injuries, and many viewers will inevitably experience aesthetic fatigue. There is no trace of competition for the market with Western blockbusters. Faced with down-to-earth domestic genre films, coupled with the "August [-]st Gift" gimmick, the audience showed unprecedented enthusiasm. As for how long the movie-watching craze of "Sinking Country" will last , it depends on whether "Edge of Tomorrow" and "X-Men Episode [-]", which will be released successively in early August, can divert the audience in large numbers..."

Resisting the urge to shout "**", Albert almost finished reading the relevant news in the newspaper with a clouded face.

However, when he saw that the rise of "Sinking Kingdom" was satirized as Hollywood's decline, he couldn't hold back anymore, and directly roared, "It's all fart!"

"Actually, you don't need to be overly angry. In this matter, other film companies are in the same situation as us."

Seeing that the director of distribution had the urge to run away, the staff on the side immediately persuaded, "It's not just us, Paramount, which is in charge of the distribution of "Transformers 4", and "Jurassic Park", which has been delayed from June until now They're all in the same trouble, and they're all investing a lot more than we are."

"Don't compare us to them, Warner has been preparing for this work for four years! How could we just lose to an unknown entertainment company!"

Albert was still furious, but he really couldn't find any solution to the problem at the moment.

As a businessman from a capitalist country, he understands that this is the result of the market's automatic profit-seeking and the survival of the fittest. It is not something that anyone can manipulate deliberately, unless he can make those theaters see that it is more profitable. The direction of value, otherwise letting the other party let go at this time is simply a dream.

But it was really not reconciled, and the summer gold-fishing stalls that had been eyeing up just flew away like a cooked duck.

"Notify our partners that the release of "Edge of Tomorrow" has been postponed by one week."

Afterwards, the entangled and resentful Albert seemed to choose to compromise, turned his head and ordered to the staff around him, "Then continue to negotiate with those theaters to see if we can return to the previously agreed schedule."

"Also... go and book me a movie ticket, I'm going to see this movie in person."

He has always faced this work with a condescending attitude, until now he remembered that he didn't even know what kind of movie it was.

Seeing that he couldn't use the most direct means to stop the rapid run of this work, Albert could only choose to observe his opponent and figure out how strong the opponent is...

As Warner's distribution staff said, Paramount Pictures, which is in charge of "Transformers 4" at the moment, is also caught in a heated discussion.

In order for this work to be successfully launched in China, Paramount, which is in charge of film distribution, even included the cctv6 film and television channel as a production partner to jointly operate the promotion, and in order to attract Chinese audiences as much as possible, they also specially invited some Chinese movie stars in the film Participate in filming.

However, now they are facing a trouble they never thought of, that is "Sinking Country" that occupies almost all the screening halls of theaters.

If it is another imported sci-fi film, Change 4 can be said to be without the slightest pressure. Both the production staff and the distribution staff have enough confidence to beat the competition, but for a film that has a strong appeal and is still being released strongly Paramount is still a little hesitant about Chinese local works.

For this reason, they even started an impromptu movie-watching survey to ask Chinese audiences about their willingness to watch movies.

After seeing that more than 50.00% of the respondents chose "I look forward to watching "The Sinking Country"", this film and television group, which has always regarded China as the second largest gold mine, finally made the same choice as Albert , That is to postpone the release of "Transformers 4" until the end of August.

Compared with these foreign giants being caught off guard, Huayi Brothers and other domestic media company giants have no such worries - they have already made preparations for the screening in advance based on their understanding of aacc, a local company, when they saw the trailer , either ahead of time or postponed, and voluntarily gave up the competition for the summer file in August, so it did not suffer much loss.

...

"Congratulations on the big sale!"

"Continue to work hard and set new heights!"

In the phantom special effects room, amidst the cheers, more than a dozen wine glasses were raised high, and everyone was celebrating the breakthrough achievements of "Sinking Kingdom".

At this time, the words "Phantom Special Effects Room" that was originally suspended in the air were replaced with a series of numbers like "540", showing the cumulative box office performance of "Sinking Kingdom" that has been increasing.

"I really didn't expect that our first film could achieve such a result. It seems that all the efforts at the beginning were worthwhile."

Looking up at the string of numbers above, Hai Ming, the leader of the special effects team, couldn't help but burst into tears. As an illegal hacker who was once imprisoned for network technology crimes, he seemed to really find out from the string of numbers. to their true worth.

Like Haiming, the other technical hackers who were "accommodated" by aacc were also very excited at this time.

Although it has been expected that this film will bring a different experience to the audience, when seeing the record-breaking scene, everyone seems to have discovered a meaningful new future.

"Everyone's bonuses have been distributed to your bank accounts. As a sincere thank you for your dedication, I will prepare an additional gift for you outside the door."

With that said, Li Mo threw a key on the table.

"crash"

"Wow~"

When they saw a car key with the Mercedes-Benz logo on the table that their boss put on the table, almost everyone froze in place, and then burst into cheers, accompanied by "Long live aacc" and "Long live Mr. Li." "The din of all kinds of passion.

It is an honor to achieve results, but in the end, the rewards in kind are more real. Faced with such extra rewards, almost everyone has the same idea——will never leave aacc again in this life.

After such a long period of development, Li Mo has long been familiar with the way of rewards. Only by giving enough benefits and encouragement to his subordinates, will they be more loyal and dedicated to the company.

Therefore, in addition to the salary and bonus agreed in the previous contract, Li Mo also presented each of these core members with a Mercedes-Benz car worth one million as a means of transportation for them in Sichuan Province.

The money to buy a car comes from the current box office profits.

——Compared to other big-budget films that need over 5000 million or even hundreds of millions of box office to earn back their costs and start making profits, as a special effects film completed with pure indoor technology, it is not considered as an investment in the energy factory of the reading power industry. "Sinking Country" The investment in various aspects is only about [-] million, and a large part of it is still used for actors' salaries.

That is to say, on the day of the premiere, Li Mo basically earned back the investment cost of the film, and almost all of the subsequent [-] million box office gains were pure profits, and if nothing unexpected happened, this state of pure profits would continue for more than half month's time.

In Li Mo's view, it is also necessary to take a small part of the hundreds of millions of profits to reward these core members.

Just as everyone was immersed in the surprise of receiving an unexpected huge reward, Lu Siming who came later rushed through the crowd while saying hello, walked to Li Mo, and whispered in his ear, "The first batch Thirty production crews that have passed the application have arrived at our Phantom Manor film and television base, accompanied by a large number of journalists and tourists, should you express it?"
