Entertainment: God-level Director Starts with Animals

"Yeah! The previous trailer was too hot. I've watched it more than [*] times. If "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" doesn't come out again, I'll go crazy!"

Countless netizens excitedly opened the ticket sales page on their computers or mobile phones, and were ready to grab the movie tickets as quickly as possible after the pre-sale started.

This time, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" released a full [*] million movie tickets, which seems to be a lot, but many people are still worried about whether they can get the tickets.

Time passed slowly, and it was finally time for the sale.

Countless netizens immediately pressed the "buy" button at the fastest speed, and then chose to pay.

Some people buy directly, but some people fail to pay, and then the ticketing website gives a prompt: "Sorry, the movie tickets you purchased are sold out."

"how is this possible!"

Seeing the prompt popped up from the ticketing website, many people widened their eyes in disbelief.

It took less than ten seconds from when the movie tickets were pre-sold until they chose to pay!

And "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has five million movie tickets, how could it be sold out so quickly?

Some netizens who bought tickets thought that the ticketing website was in addition to the problem, and immediately called the customer service number of the ticketing website to inquire.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes is all fine with ticketing data, without any errors."

The customer service responded quickly, which made those netizens who did not buy tickets have to believe that they did not grab others because of their slow hand speed.

"Look, I grabbed a movie ticket, and it was the first premiere!"

In Xiao Yiran's various fan groups, many fans have proudly posted screenshots of the electronic movie tickets they just bought.

"Envy, why didn't I think of it!"

"Damn, the internet speed is too slow, I didn't even get it!"

"Envy, I wonder if the boss can transfer it? I double the price!"

When I saw someone posting a movie ticket in the chat group, a group of people immediately expressed their envy, or asked the other party to transfer it.

Originally, it was only [*] yuan for a movie ticket, but these fans were directly fired for [*] yuan a piece.

In fact, it's not just these ordinary movie fans, many scalpers are also speculating on the movie tickets of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and they all get as low as [*] yuan a piece.

The continuous publicity in the early stage has made "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" far more famous than several of its films released at the same time.

And after Hu Fei's incident this time, the popularity of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has broken through the sky!

Many scalpers saw the business opportunities inside, and resolutely hoarded a lot of movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", ready to make a fortune.

Now seeing the rising price of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", these scalpers are simply overjoyed.

Because the movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" are too difficult to buy, many netizens have begun to call on the theaters to increase the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" film.

"Why didn't the theater party add a little more to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"? It's not enough to release so little!"

"The movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" are too hard to buy, right? I feel that if you add another five million, people will buy them directly!"

"Yeah, people are clamoring to buy tickets everywhere. According to this trend, if we want to buy tickets for the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", I'm afraid it will be at least a week away."

"Hey, I originally wanted to watch the premiere, but now I can only go online and read other people's movie reviews. It's fun!"

A group of netizens sighed, feeling that movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" are really too difficult to buy.

Among them are those netizens who have called for a boycott of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" because of the Hu Fei incident.

At this time, they were either really interested in the movie, or because of the guilt that Xiao Yiyi had misunderstood, and they all scrambled to buy "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

This has caused the price of movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" to be higher and more difficult to buy. It's completely hard to get a ticket.

Whether they opened the ticketing website or went to the cinema to buy offline, they found that the movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" were already sold out.

This result shocked many people inside and outside the industry.

They had expected that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" might be very popular, but they didn't expect it to be so popular!

And they have only now understood why they have never stood up to refute Hu Fei's slander and slander before.

It turns out that Xiao Yiran is also using fishing reels on the Internet to create momentum for his new movie!

Xiao Yiran's previous three movies, each of which can be a big move before the release of the movie.

This makes many people understand that Xiao Yiran is constantly making good movies, and he is also very good at hyping and building momentum.

Under the combination of the two, it's no wonder that Xiao Yiran's movie box office did not buy well!

But after this incident, everyone realized that they still underestimated Xiao Yiran.

Xiao Yiran has used the hype to the extreme, and even risked his reputation for it!

This makes many veteran directors feel ashamed.

In addition to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the three follow-up works "I Am Not a Daming Ape", "King Kong Ape" and "Legend of the Apes" have also opened pre-sale.

Using their personal connections, the three films were not much worse than "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" when they were released.

Among them, there are more than [*] million pre-sale tickets for "I Am Not a Daming Gorilla", more than [*] million tickets for "King Kong Gorilla", and more than [*] million tickets for "Legend of the Gorilla" with the lowest ranking.

Huayi Film and Television, Sugar Man Entertainment and Jinjin Film have a vision and want to defeat Xiao Yiran's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in a head-to-head battle.

But they really overestimate themselves and underestimate the influence of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" now.

The pre-sale of the four films has opened at the same time. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is now hard to get a ticket, but the three films "I am not a Daming", "King Kong" and "Legend of the Apes" are not selling at all!

Many netizens would rather pay high prices for scalpers to buy movie tickets for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" than for the other three movies.

It has been more than ten hours since the pre-sale started, and it has been less than half a day before the official release of the movie. The movie tickets they sold are less than a fraction of the movie tickets of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", Huayi Film and Television, Sugar Man Entertainment and Gold Medal. The top executives of the film and television are all anxious!

Wang Chonglei, president of Huayi Film and Television, immediately summoned the presidents of the other two film and television companies to start a video conference.

"You two, the situation is not very good now! The movie tickets sold by our three families don't even have a fraction of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". What are you going to do?"

As soon as the meeting started, Wang Zhonglei immediately asked the other two presidents.

If there is no "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" by Xiao Yiran, the three film and television companies Huayi Film and Television, Sugar Man Entertainment, and Gold Film and Television are all competitors, and they often fight for the box office.

But this time is different. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is on the rise, and it has shown a trend of sweeping the box office of major theaters across the country, which has forced these three film and television companies to unite.

There are only permanent interests in the business field, no permanent enemies or friends.

"It's all at this time, and it's a bit late to think about what means to use? Unless you expect the quality of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" to be not as good as in the trailer, wait for the movie to hit the street by yourself."

Xing Jing, president of Gold Medal Film and Television, sighed helplessly.

"Is Mr. Xing sitting still? It's too passive. What if the reputation of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" did not collapse after the release, but performed better than Xiao Yiran's previous films? Are we just waiting to die like this? "

Wang Zhonglei frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Xing Jing's passive confrontational attitude.

"What do you think, President Cai?"

Wang Zhonglei looked at the avatar of Tangren Entertainment President Cai Yinong on the video again, and asked expectantly.

Cai Yinong is the only female president of major domestic film and television companies, and now she looks like she is only in her thirties.

Although she is a woman, her acting style is very strong, and she will never react negatively like Xing Jing.

"Our investment cost of "King Kong Gorilla" exceeded [*] million yuan, and the publicity expenses also spent more than [*] million yuan. If there is a loss at the box office, our loss is indeed too great.

But compared to this loss, I am more worried about the future!If Xiao Yiran makes a good movie in the future, and then collides with our movie, what should I do?

Our company has a big business, and we can bear the loss once or twice, but if the loss occurs too many times, our president will not be able to sit still, right? "

Hearing Wang Zhonglei's question, Cai Yinong raised his brows and asked Wang Zhonglei and Xing Jing. .

Wang Chonglei and Xing Jing's faces sank, obviously following Cai Yinong's words and thinking of the worst situation.

The reason why these film and television companies are so afraid of Xiao Yiran is not precisely for this reason!

"Then Cai always thinks, how can we solve Xiao Yiran completely?"

Wang Zhonglei solemnly asked Cai Yinong again.

"If you want to solve Xiao Yiran, you have to take advantage of him before he has fully risen! Otherwise, when he has fully grown up, we will not have any chance to suppress him."

Facing Wang Chonglei's question, Cai Yinong's eyes flashed a bit of ruthlessness and said: "Xiao Yiran's studio has just been established, he is not as big as our company, in order to shoot "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", he should almost All the cash flow went into the movie.

We can sell movie tickets at a [*]% discount or even a [*]% discount, so of course we will lose a lot, and Xiao Yiran will not be better off!We can afford to lose once or twice, can Xiao Yiran afford it? "

Hearing Cai Yinong's words, Wang Zhonglei and Xing Jing looked at each other. They didn't expect Cai Yinong, a woman, to be so ruthless.

In the past, even if the competition was fierce, major film and television companies rarely used such means to attack competitors.

Because the pricing of movie tickets is in the hands of the theater chain, if their producers want to reduce the price of movie tickets, they can only subsidize it by themselves.

In this way, not only will their movies not be able to make money, but they will also lose money. Who would want to do such a stupid thing?

Seeing that Wang Zhonglei and Xing Jing were still a little hesitant, a look of disdain flashed in Cai Yinong's eyes, feeling that these two presidents were too lackluster, and she was not as decisive as a woman.

"You two should think about it clearly, if your movie tickets are not sold at a discount, can you compete against Xiao Yiran? Since both sides are losing money, why don't we get rid of Xiao Yiran by the way?

This time, when the next movie is released again, we no longer have to worry about encountering Xiao Yiran's movie. "

Cai Yinong had to speak out to remind Wang Zhonglei and Xing Jing.

Hearing Cai Yinong's reminder, Wang Zhonglei and Xing Jing's expressions were stagnant, and then they understood: "Yes, since it is destined to be a loss now, it must not make Xiao Yiran any better!"

Both of them were a little ashamed, but they didn't expect a woman to understand it.

"Mr. Cai, we agree with your proposal, so let's sell all our movie tickets at a discount!"

Wang Zhonglei immediately made a decision.

Chapter 179 Xiao Yiran's Conferred God's Work! ! !

"Our films also agreed to be sold at a discount!"

Xing Jing then nodded in agreement.

Now they have been forced to do nothing by Xiao Yiran. If they don't sell movie tickets at a discount, they will definitely die. Although they will lose money if they sell at a discount, they will also cause losses to Xiao Yiran. Of course they know how to choose.

After the video conference, the three major film and television companies Tangren Entertainment, Huayi Film and Television, and Gold Film and Television immediately issued a joint statement: "In order to repay the love of the vast number of fans, "I'm not a gorilla", "King Kong gorilla" and "gorilla trail" "Legend" movie tickets will be sold at half price!"

After the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole network.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Tangren Entertainment, Huayi Film and Television, and Gold Film and Television to make such a decision.

Only the major ticketing platforms have used this method before when they compete for users, and they have never seen the producer take the initiative to ask for a discount to sell movie tickets.
