Chapter 81 The impact of straight male cancer on the box office

Chinese audiences are prone to seriousness and easily feel offended!

"Charlotte's Troubles" obviously offends feminism.

China's film market has always been dominated by women.

Your movie is full of "I am a straight man and I am proud", and it has largely offended these people.

In fact, these remarks also exist in the original time and space, but there has been no wave.

After all, when most of the "friendly forces" appear that "Charlotte" may pose a threat to them, it is already unstoppable!

The entire network is full of 'tap water'!

Of course, it has a lot to do with the schedule selection.

In the original time and space, the reason why "Charlotte" was able to sweep the entire National Day and even October, winning a box office of 1.4 billion is very important, and there are no decent opponents.

Originally the biggest opponent, "Hong Kong Empress", the comedy played by Xu Bald Head is not like a comedy. It is said to be a youth film, but it has no trace of youth at all.

The typical four-dimensional character, if it weren't for the fact that the "囧" series has become the signature of domestic comedy, and the powerful publicity ability of Light, would you think this thing can have a box office of 1.5 billion?

To put it bluntly, "Hong Kong Empress" is a failed work, commonly known as a bad movie!

"Nine-Level Demon Tower", not to mention it, it has rotten water!

As of January 7, the box office revenue was 580 million yuan, and then, in one month, it only took 100 million yuan to reach a total box office of 670 million yuan.

The only meaning of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" appearing in the National Day holiday may be to highlight that "Hong Kong Empress" is not that bad, and to highlight the excellence of "The Dragon Search"!

As for "Saving Mr. Wu", it is a police and gangster film after all.

Police and gangster films are typical niche themes in the Chinese market!

The theme limitations, coupled with the title of Liu Tianwang's "King of Bad Movies", since its release, except for a daily box office of 40,000 yuan, has not exceeded 20 million yuan in a single day.

Therefore, despite its good reputation, it is useless.

It poses no threat to Charlotte.

"Charlotte's Troubles" is different. With the help of Mahua's reputation effect over the years and Wanda's publicity, its box office takeoff is a bit unexpected, but it is reasonable.

But now it's different.

"Carol" announced that it will be scheduled for January 7th!

Direct airborne!

...

The box office trend of "Charlotte's Troubles" is confusing.

Ying won 450,000 on the same day, and then his reputation spread. He won nearly 600,000 on the next day. Then, it continued to increase, but not much increased.

It was not until January 5 that it closed at 80,000 yuan on the same day, setting a record for the highest single-day box office since its release, and putting the declining reputation of "Hong Kong Empress" under his body!

The senior executives of Mahua are very happy. In their opinion, "Charlotte" is stable!

It can achieve a box office of at least 100 million!

Then, on January 6, the box office of "Charlotte Troubles" fell instead of rising, falling below 60 million when the volume of screenings rose by five points!

Liu Hongtao is anxious!

Not only was he anxious, but even Wanda Pictures, which was in charge of the film industry, was anxious.

In the afternoon of that day, several people gathered at the small round table to discuss countermeasures.

"Lao Wei, our single-day box office was 80 million the day before yesterday, but it was less than 60 million yesterday?"

Wei Zhenxing, head of Wanda Film Festival department.

"Is Charlotte's box office potential only so much?"

The person who spoke was Yan Fei, the director of "Shao Luot's Troubles".

"No, mainly because there are many people on the Internet boycotting our movie, saying that "straight male cancer" and "unright values". Our movies have significantly declined on major film and television rating websites!"

Peng Xiaomo took out a manuscript, which contained a bunch of analysis results.

He is the screenwriter and assistant director of "Charlotte".

"These people are simply nonsense! Comedy movies, just have a laughing fruit. They have to have a correct view of their own views and correct viewpoints. They should go to "News Broadcast" and watch the main theme movie!"

Liu Hongtao couldn't help but curse and swear words.

"The same is true for the table tennis two years ago, which was a sketch, but it led to a lot of complaints!"

As a veteran of Mahua, Yan Fei is certainly very clear about these things.

"Movies and sketches are not the real world, why do you have to be linked to reality?"

"That's right, Heshen in "Iron-Toothed and Bronze-Toothed Ji Xiaolan" is also a bad guy. Why don't they boycott it?"

"It's really hard to create works now. Forget all kinds of shackles, the audience is still so vitiligo!"

"Don't be angry, what we should discuss now is what to do next!"

Wei Zhenxing looked at the group of rookies and couldn't help but shake his head.

Is this the time to discuss the creation of a work?

"Or, let's learn "The Hundred Groups War" and steal the box office..."

"No, if this is spread, we won't have to be in the circle in the future!"

Liu Hongtao flatly refused.

Mahua movies rely on quality, which is the most basic principle when he founded Mahua!

"What should I do? If I let this trend escapade, I believe that within three days, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" will fall below 40 million. Not to mention 10 million at that time, it would be great if it could have 800 million!"

"I have an idea,"

Wei Zhenxing looked at Liu Hongtao, "We can take action to support the box office!"

"What's the meaning?"

Liu Hongtao was slightly moved, but he still maintained his restraint and asked in a trembling voice.

"It's literally, we pay for the box office ourselves!"

"Then...how much do we have to pay?"

"According to the current box office trend, we need to spend at least 50 million to push the single-day box office to over 100 million, but as long as the single-day box office exceeds 100 million, we are confident that we can get the largest number of screens. You must know that theaters are very practical. Without revenue, they will not be able to schedule films for you!"

Wei Zhenxing carefully looked at the box office trend chart and analyzed.

"Fifty million?"

Liu Hongtao shut up and began to think about the possibility of this matter.

"Old Liu, if this matter is spread, we will be done with a mess. Not only will it become a laughing stock among our peers, but the audience will not trust us anymore!"

Peng Xiaomo couldn't help but persuade.

"Hey! I'm a little bit hindered!"

Liu Hongtao sighed and walked out of Wei Zhenxing's "temptation" with some difficulty.

"In fact, even if "Charlotte" won't have a big improvement in the box office from tomorrow, it has already achieved profitability and made a lot of money. From this perspective, our first shot of Mahua has already started!"

Liu Hongtao looked at Wei Zhenxing and continued: "Also, I have watched the newly released movies in the past month, and there are almost few that pose a particularly big threat to "Charlotte", so I am still sure that the box office of this drama can exceed 100 million!"

"…Mr. Liu, there is one thing you may not know yet!"

Peng Xiaomo looked at Liu Hongtao and glanced at the latest news he had obtained in his hand.

"What's up?"

"Chen Lin announced that "Carol" will be scheduled for January 7th, which is tomorrow!"
