Perfect Life

"My Sassy Girl" is a hit across the board!

Before it was dark, people in the domestic film and television industry who were paying attention to the box office situation of movie theaters in various places received the news one after another—it is said that before noon, the movie was in most movie theaters in most places. All day's shows have been sold out!

Some were surprised, some were stunned, some were worried, some were helpless, some were dissatisfied, and even angry.

…………

Ying Tianfu, in a luxury suite of a large hotel.

After hurriedly ending the afternoon program recording, Zheng Yuan locked himself in the hotel room.

Yesterday, I received a notice from the Cinema Alliance. The major cinema chains across the country have made their own emergency adjustments in the face of market emergencies. And another "Woman Hello!" 》The canvas has been reduced by many theaters!

Even if the canvas was not reduced, they made their own adjustments by reducing the number of filming sessions of "Escape Heroes" and moving them to a small screening hall.

All in all, in this well-known Valentine's Day hit, not only did my film not expand, but it was reduced!

You must know that the production company, the distribution company, and himself finally decided on the current schedule after careful research, repeated deliberation, and repeated discussions. Although there is an idea to avoid those blockbusters in the summer, especially Hollywood blockbusters, but in fact, strive to develop and tap the potential of the Valentine's Day schedule, and determine a schedule similar to "The New Year's Festival belongs to Zhao Meicheng", that is, "Valentine's Day belongs to Zhao Meicheng". The concept of "Zheng Yuan" is the most important aspect of the company and himself.

In the past few years, although the films I starred in basically did not lose money, more than two-thirds of the films made money, and one-quarter of the films could still be classified as big-money ones. ranks, and thus established his position in the Chinese film market, but in recent years, with the cliff-like decline of the domestic film box office market, the market avalanche and reconstruction, especially in the past one or two years, whether it is the company or himself, They have clearly seen the general trend of the domestic film market in the future——

Hollywood imported blockbusters, and domestic high-quality productions with high reputation and large investment, will become the absolute focus of the summer season!

And other films, including literary films, including niche films, and the two low-cost modern martial arts films that I have made in the past two years, have gradually become cannon fodder in the competition for the summer season!

Yes, Zheng Yuan, or the company, understands that if you want to rejoin the competition in the summer program and regain competitiveness, it is not completely impossible. The best way is to increase investment, Do more special effects, and invite more influential people to make plays for yourself!

At that time, unless it is a phenomenal film, even if it is a Hollywood blockbuster, I will not be afraid at all! As for those domestic films, there is nothing to fear!

After all, the word "Zheng Yuan" is still very appealing!

But that way is too expensive!

Relying on a capital, or a little investment invested by yourself, you have to take a lot of risks! As long as there is a loss, it is still a trivial matter to lose money. The key is that when the time comes, the word-of-mouth represented by the word "Zheng Yuan" will be smashed into it! But as long as you want to introduce capital from other aspects, it is bound to be dictated by capital! No one will be stupid enough to throw money at you, so you can play and operate with confidence!

Over the years, Zheng Yuan's films have always had his own style, and he is reluctant to actively change his thinking and style. Therefore, after thinking about it, he and the company worked out such an idea of ​​asking for the market from other schedules, and chose the Valentine's day schedule as the first one!

The result... so!

In the first two weeks, it was smooth sailing. We directly killed "Let's Talk About a Big Business", which was at the end of the screening, and got a good start. However, last week, it actually lost to Lu Ping's "Hello Woman". ! "!

This incident has already made Zheng Yuan unable to bear the anger and helplessness. In the following week, the company has increased the investment and intensity of publicity. In terms of online communication, eating, drinking, etc., I was thinking of making a turnaround in this Valentine's Day schedule, and last week's box office "Hello Woman!" "Call it down!

At the beginning of this week, according to the results of the surveys in various places, it indicated that everything was indeed developing towards the goal set by him at the beginning, and even the rough box office statistics obtained in the middle of the week confirmed this. But who knows... The fan movie "My Sassy Girl", which I thought was just coming to the movie market to test the water and make money, suddenly became popular!

And it's so hot that it's out of control!

So, no matter who, no matter what movie, make way for "My Sassy Girl"!

"Hello Woman! "Dead or not, Zheng Yuan can't control it, and he even wants this movie to be thrown out of the street! But "Escape Hero" is a production with an investment of more than 20 million, and he chose such a Valentine's Day schedule that should have no rivals based on the word "Zheng Yuan". You can't lose, you can't even lose at all!

But what can he do?

When we were having dinner together two days ago, the theater dealers all slapped their chests loudly, but in just a few days, they changed their minds!

It sounds nice to say, what short-term adjustments, long-term changes, what will the canvas be adjusted back after Valentine's Day, and even consider making some canvases and layouts for "Escape Heroes". However, this sentence has another meaning. How reliable is it?

And even if they can keep their word, how many tickets can they sell for the first show in the morning, even if all the cinemas in China give you all the canvases?

You know, even under normal circumstances, when you give canvases and films during the working day, I am afraid that two or three filmings will not be as good as one on the weekend!

What's more, it's Valentine's Day and Saturday!

So, yesterday, when I received the news that the theater was adjusting the canvas and film arrangement, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but dropped the cup immediately! Although he woke up this morning, he still got up and made the arrangements for today, but even he himself knew that when facing the camera, the smile on his face must be too stiff to see!

So, after thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more useless I feel, the more I think about it, the more unbearable I feel!

And then... bang!

This time, it was the ashtray that was unlucky!

With this sound, the team that was still hesitating and worried outside the door soon sent someone to the hotel to ask for a general key card. Zheng Yuan's agent Fang Zuotong opened the door and walked in alone. .

The smoke in the room was very heavy, and the smoke was filled with smoke!

Zheng Yuan is addicted to smoking, but his addiction to making money is obviously even greater. In order to maintain his image, he has been publicizing for many years. He is a non-smoker. Following the advice of the brokerage team, he has always controlled his smoking amount. On a relatively small scale - only when you're not taking notices and staying at home will you let go a little.

It is the first time in recent years that such a big draw is made when running publicity in other places like now!

However, Fang Zuotong opened the door and came in. He just fanned his hand in front of him, but didn't say much. Walking slowly to Zheng Yuan's side, standing side by side with him, looking at the sunset city outside the large French window, after a while, he slowly said: "It's actually normal, it's a love movie! Valentine's Day! It's normal for the schedule to be adjusted! After the holiday, we can still get the box office we deserve!"

Zheng Yuan was silent, silent, and after a long time, he said: "It is said that the film is full today, and most of the tickets are sold out before noon! Even the midnight show is sold out! "

Fang Zuotong smiled and said, "It's normal! That movie will be released on the 10th, just in time for the working day! It's the time when the students are about to start school. For a while, their spending power has not been released, so they have accumulated until today! Li Qian's It's not like you don't know about influence! The leader, especially the young people, in the whole country, which young man doesn't like him? Right? It's normal, don't take it to heart! What about letting him sell it for two days?"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Fans love the movie! It's to make money from fans. When his fans get rid of this enthusiasm, the movie will definitely fall!"

Zheng Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "But considering the current situation, I am afraid that the number one box office chart this week will fall into his hands! In that case, we will be suppressed for two consecutive weeks. !"

Fang Zuotong smiled again, "Not necessarily!"

After a pause, he said: "Valentine's Day, it's a good schedule! His film is a big hit, but how many tickets does it have to sell? They sell well, and we're not bad! It is said that there are many shows, and our show is also full. Yes! Although their layouts and canvases have caught up a lot, they are still slightly worse than us! In the two days of the weekend, I guess they will sell as much as us, no matter how good they are! In addition to the four working days, Our box office has an advantage of millions of dollars! It is unknown who will die!"

Zheng Yuan took out a cigarette, lit it, and faced the large French window, sucking the cigarette in his hand fiercely.

For a while, the smoke was filled again!

Fang Zuotong smiled and didn't persuade him, but said, "Will you give Li Qian a call in person later?"

Zheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Fang Zuotong, "I called him? Congratulations on stepping me down?"

Fang Zuotong still smiled, "Congratulations to him for his box office sales!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan took a sharp puff, then angrily threw the cigarette directly on the carpet, and said loudly, "Don't even think about it! I don't know who will die this week, and next week, I will trample him to death!"

Fang Zuotong lowered his head for a moment, smiled, raised his foot and stomped out the cigarette **** that had burned a small hole in the carpet, then looked up at him and said with a smile, "Then congratulations to him! Entering the film industry, but in fact his appeal to a certain part of the movie audience, as well as his contacts in the circle, are all worthy of your friendship. After all, movies are our territory, but music is his territory! "

Zheng Yuan turned his head to look at Fang Zuotong, turned his head back, and was silent.

After a long time, he said, "I won't lose! This week's box office, I won't lose either!" Having said that, he turned his head and stared at Fang Zuotong, loudly and seemed to encourage himself Generally speaking: "When this week's box office charts come out, if I'm number one, I'll call him!"

Fang Zuotong smiled helplessly and said, "A Yuan, you understand what I mean!"

However, Zheng Yuan shook his head firmly, "I won't lose!"

Fang Zuotong showed a helpless smile again, but in the end he could only sigh, bent down and picked up the cigarette butt, looked left and right, walked over, and threw it into the trash can.

…………

On the same day, Chengdu Prefecture.

There was also a man who was shutting himself in the room.

It's Lu Ping.

It's just that, unlike Zheng Yuan, he had already seen the movie "My Sassy Girl" when it was first released, so he was well aware of the quality of the movie. Step by step in the direction he was worried about, "My Sassy Girl" seems to be soaring, and "Hello Woman!" "The number of screenings has been reduced in major theaters across the country, but at least Lu Ping, who has been mentally prepared in advance, will not suddenly lose his composure like Zheng Yuan!

After all, he could still sit in the room with barely a composure, waiting silently for the statistics from all over the place!

However, in the evening of the same day, Gao Lanlan got the morning box office and word-of-mouth survey sent by the survey company, but pushed him one step toward Shengu again!

"Hello Woman! "Has the director's reputation that Lu Ping has accumulated in recent years, and has a certain siphon effect brought by winning the box office champion last week, so the attendance rate is quite good, and many movie theaters are also sold out!

However, "Escape Heroes" is also selling well!

And what's worse, "My Sassy Girl" is almost a hit across the board!

The survey results show that "My Sassy Girl" is in all the movie theaters surveyed, whether it is a big city or a small and medium-sized city, whether it is a large movie theater in the downtown area, or some relatively remote small and medium-sized movie theaters, all belong to it. , almost without exception full!

That's full!

After getting this result, Lu Ping was silent for a long time, and then helplessly asked Gao Lanlan, "Do we still have a chance?"

Gao Lanlan replied, "Yes!"

Then she said: "The name of Li Qian's movie is too appropriate for Valentine's Day. This is one, Li Qian's own appeal to his fans has not been released, and it will be released this weekend. Come out, this is two, these two points have led to their box office explosion. But this explosion may not last for a long time! In the long run, he may not be our opponent with "Escape Heroes"!"

Lu Ping was silent for a moment, and then said: "But, he is very likely to win the box office championship this week!"

However, Gao Lanlan said: "Whether he can surpass us, I'm not very sure, after all, looking at the results of the investigation, they are indeed selling crazy today, but as far as I can see, even if he surpasses us, he may not be able to surpass "The Escape Hero" "! In the weekday box office a few days ago, "Escape Hero" has already taken a big lead. In the past two days on the weekend, their film layout and canvas are also ahead of "My Sassy Girl", and the survey results You can also see that today's tickets are easy to sell, and everyone sells them!"

After a pause, she said: "So I guess, as long as there are no special circumstances, this week, "Escape Heroes" should be able to suppress them! Although they surpassed us, they still can't get the top of the box office chart. ! As long as "Escape Heroes" can help us suppress them this week, so that he can't get the top of the box office chart, and then, when the spending power of Li Qian's fans has been released, "Escape Heroes" "Heroes" has also entered its fourth week, everyone runs a long line together, they are definitely not our opponents!"

Lu Ping thought for a moment after hearing the words, and nodded slowly.

Not to mention, it's barely a comfort, albeit a bit bitter.

I can't do anything for you. As long as someone can hold you down, you can't get what I can't get. That's a good result for me!

Although... "Escape Hero" is actually an enemy!

But that enemy is far less important to him than Li Qian!

At this moment, or it can be said that in the past two or two days, since the box office of the movie "My Sassy Girl" has exploded, Lu Ping can't help but think back to the time when he was in a western restaurant, and he was confident. The words she said when she showed her love to Senior Sister Luling Xilu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ especially...the challenge to Li Qian through her and entrusting her to tell her!

Thinking about it now, it was still a bit too underestimated at the beginning!

It's so arrogant to talk about... Now that I think about it, maybe the image I left for Senior Sister Lu at that time should be the word "arrogant"?

This is a mistake!

In fact, thinking about it now, not to mention winning or losing, I shouldn't have said those words at the time, but should wait until I really won, and then say those words, it will be more convincing, and it should be able to impress her more !

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine for things in this world!

But... um, what Sister Gao said is right!

Perhaps this week, "My Sassy Girlfriend" should be able to beat his own "Hello Woman!" ", but this is not the end! We still have to run the long line together!

Plus, there's only one day left in the week!

The box office explosion of "My Sassy Girlfriend" should play a major role in Li Qian's idol star attributes. Therefore, the box office explosion of this film is destined to be short-lived!

On the bright side, maybe he can't even make it through the weekend?

It's not impossible!

Thinking of this, he could not help clenching his fists subconsciously, hoping silently in his heart: I hope the box office of "My Sassy Girl" will decline tomorrow!

It's better to make those theaters who urgently added canvases and layouts to him cry to death!

And as long as that happens, since I have always been good at selling long-term lines, and the attendance rate has always been very stable, it is hard to say who will die in this week's box office rankings!

***

I came back as soon as the annual meeting was over, and I didn’t dare to delay for a moment!

The update will resume today, let me slow down, take a break, and start paying off my debts in two days! (To be continued.)
