Chapter 2129 Dismal
That night, the major theaters did not dare to look down upon it and were very interested in the movie.
Of course, it’s not that this movie is great, but because this is Enron’s movie, it’s best not to make any mistakes.
But even so, something went wrong in the cinema.
In big cities like New York, Oakland, and Chicago.
Many anti-gay people gathered in front of the cinema to demonstrate and boycott the movie.
Li Ruisi looked at the guys outside the theater and couldn't help but said in the car: "What a bunch of overfed guys. What's the use of boycotting? If you can boycott all Enron's movies and all his songs, don't read his books."
, don’t watch the TV series... these boring guys!"
The driver laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if we boycott or not this time, no one will watch this movie!"
"Most gay people don't want people to know that they are gay, and those who are not gay are even less interested in this kind of movie. I think Mr. An Ran is aiming at the Xizhou Film Festival, which takes more than half a month, and winning awards is his ultimate goal!"<
/p>
Li Ruisi nodded, "Speaking of which, this guy never seems to be afraid of losing money, he just has a lot of money! But these people come to this place to gather, and I don't believe that there is no one behind them."
The driver nodded.
Who else could it be? It’s just people like Liu Zaiyuan and Ronaldo who have a grudge against him.
Maybe Judy is also involved.
Everything An Ran does in the entertainment industry is a big deal, and he has never been secretive about it. The conflicts with these people have long been superficial.
It’s not surprising that these people are working hard behind the scenes.
Li Ruisi is not here today for the movie Enron.
There were really too many people gathered in front of their theater, which was a bit confusing.
Xizhou is not a peaceful country. It has a large population with guns, nearly 700 million people, and almost 300 million people have guns.
The total number of guns far exceeds the total population, almost twice the population.
There are also some foreigners who do not have ID cards and cannot be naturalized in Xizhou to make a living.
This group of people is even more dangerous.
Someone has a gun. Once people gather together, if someone gets involved, something might happen.
Moreover, there are many extremists in Xizhou who are dissatisfied with society, and they will cause trouble for you no matter what, let alone the current situation.
So Li Ruisi was very nervous.
If you are dissatisfied with society, it is easy to vent your anger at will.
Homosexuality is also a social contradiction and can easily lead to conflicts.
A fight or whatever is a trivial matter, just don't use your gun.
Li Ruisi looked at the entrance of the theater. The security guards stood at the entrance of the theater as if they were facing a formidable enemy, staring at the crowd eagerly.
Putting your hands on your waist is to warn those in the crowd who want to cause trouble that we have guns.
Li Ruisi sighed, being treated like this by these guys, half of the cinema's business tonight was lost.
Of course, many people came to see it.
But some timid people saw dozens or hundreds of people gathered at the door, chanting slogans, and many people turned around and left.
Lose at least one-third of the audience.
"Damn it, these guys should all go to hell!" Li Ruisi looked at the crowd.
At this time, Li Ruisi's phone rang.
"Hey, Charles, how are you?"
Charles said on the opposite side: "The situation is not as bad as expected. The police are already trying to persuade the crowd to leave, and these people are not organized people. They will leave after a while, but the number of viewers at this time is much smaller than usual!
”
Li Ruisi nodded, "How is the situation with "Brokeback Mountain"!"
"It's so miserable!" Charles said: "It's already a small minority, but now it's being made such a fuss about. It's probably the audience who left this movie."
"Only 2,000 US dollars of tickets have been sold so far!"
"Okay, I get it!"
"Then Mr. Li Ruisi, are you going to arrange to reduce the film schedule tomorrow? I think it's enough to leave them 3 spots..."
Li Ruisi said: "That's not necessary. Boss An still needs to give him face. He must be given three days to see what happens. Maybe there is a possibility of reversal!"
"Reversal? Mr. Li Ruisi is not kidding, I think there is no chance!"
Li Ruisi shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate this guy. Enron has reversed his situation not once or twice..."
"But this time..."
In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was basically impossible to reverse the situation.
This drama in particular has caused a lot of controversy.
It’s hard to say how interested everyone will be.
After today, if no one makes trouble tomorrow, maybe the box office will be higher, but it is estimated that a single venue will not exceed 4,000 yuan.
What is the concept of 4,000 yuan for a single library?
If one show is arranged for each of the ten halls, the occupancy rate will be less than 10%. Why do such movies exist? Make way for commercial blockbusters.
What a pity.
Li Ruisi shook his head, "Just make the arrangements. Don't let Boss An have anything to say. In short, we have to let him accept our favor. Everything else is easy to talk about."
"Understood, Mr. Li Ruisi!" Charles hung up the phone.
Li Ruisi sighed, "Enron may lose a bit miserably this time!"
The first day’s single score was 2000!
It's still a big theater like theirs, other theater chains are probably even more pitiful.
It can rise a little tomorrow, but it's very limited.
Other theater chains will not be like them, and they will reduce the number of emission-reducing films that need to be released, and they will be released a few days later at most.
No one was watching at that time, so what does it matter if you are a few days late? It makes no sense.
People like him are good at doing favors. The general rule is that the box office won from the first to the last is half of the box office of the movie.
By doing this, Li Ruisi gave Enron enough face.
After the police dispersed the crowd, Li Ruisi went into the theater and took a look around.
Business is slightly affected, but not seriously.
"Brokeback Mountain" is relatively miserable, and its income so far is only US$2,500.
If this continues, I'm afraid the box office on the first day will only exceed 8 million.
24 million in the first weekend? Then, I’m afraid the box office will be around 45 million at most, and it’s a bit dangerous.
"It seems that Enron is in a bit of danger this time!" Li Ruisi looked at the data and said, "Enron will lose a lot of money this time!"
He was referring to the 45 million bet with Liu Zaiyuan. Based on the box office of 150 million, Enron would lose more than 100 million.
This is not how money is spent.
100 million yuan is something that many people have never seen in their lives, let alone making money.
"I'm afraid he will have a longer memory this time." Manager Charles said with a smile: "Fortunately, he is still young and has money, so this is nothing to me!"
Li Ruisi nodded, "Yes, it would be good for young people to learn a lesson!"
"But the more we do now, the more we must do it. We will not reduce the schedule, and simply extend it by a week. Anyway, 5 points is not much..."
Charles understood what he meant and smiled: "Mr. Li Ruisi, you are really very wise."
