Chapter 21 Screening
"Ah? Mr. Gao, haha! Thank you, thank you for your praise, for sure! Then we have to schedule more films for us then!"
After the preview, the movie was finished, Qi Yuan promoted it again on stage and began to talk to the bosses of major theaters.
"Crazy Stone" produced by Qi Yuan's small Yuancheng Film and Television alone has no big-name stars, so it cannot attract so many theater managers.
Mainly based on Ren Xia’s recommendation.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was pulling Mr. Gao from Yida and talking about the filming process.
Mr. Zhao, wearing a straight suit, held Qi Yuan's shoulder and smiled and said, "Qi Yuan, there are a total of seven movies this year. In addition to you, I also participated in the preview of four other movies. Haha, the investors of you four movies told me this way. You said, who should I promise!"
As Qi Yuan and Mr. Gao walked out, Mr. Gao continued: "Our theater is actually very simple, but it is also the most snobbish. We will arrange any movies that the audience likes to watch, and everything is spoken by the market!"
Qi Yuan sent away the managers of major theaters, and Liu Shang and the main creators were waiting for him.
Looking at Qi Yuan, Liu Shang shook his head slightly and said, "It's a bit difficult."
He just talked to several managers, "Crazy Stone", and several managers thought it was good.
But what will happen in the market?
Especially with the two blockbusters this year, "Thousands of Time" and "Alien on Earth", managers from major theaters are very unpopular with the first-day pre-sale of "Crazy Stone".
The sales on the second and third day depend on the reputation status on the first day.
If it is good, then the screening may be a little harder. If it is bad, then this year's "Crazy Stone" will be really cannon fodder.
Tianhao.
In an office.
A man in a black suit stood in front and looked at the people below and said, "Pre-off-screen? What pre-off-screen? Are there any problems with our special effects? A 500 million investment... Well, the pre-off-screen should not be too large, and the total should not exceed one thousand shows!"
The man is named Wu Zhengqiang, currently the general manager of Tianhao.
He was still a deputy in Tianhao back then, and Zhao Kaiming was a regular person.
Later, Zhao Kaiming suffered a lot from Qi Yuan and was squeezed out by Wu Zhengqiang.
The movie "Aliens Coming to Earth" is the largest investment he has taken since he led Tianhao.
Five hundred million!
With the promotional cost, this movie will cost at least 2 billion yuan to make a profit!
But Wu Zhengqiang has the confidence!
He followed this movie from beginning to end.
Special effects are also the best company in China to invite. Every second of the movie is burning money!
In this movie, Tianhao pointed at 3 billion!
"Mr. Wu, the seven movies this year, are currently the threat of "Thousands of Suicheng". They have the support of the double films of actor Yue Bang and actress Wang Xiaohua. The promotional film looks like the war scenes are also very grand!"
"The audience of animated movies in the All Games Company should not be large. The specific share they can occupy depends on the quality of their movies!"
Wu Zhengqiang nodded and said, "Well, you can add some more on the promotion and distribution side. Don't care about the little money. Whether this year's annual report is good or not. Whether our shareholders can have a good New Year depends on our final work this year!"
Crescent Entertainment.
"Mr. Zhou, Tianhao's propaganda offensive is very fierce, but they do not seem to have started previews on a large scale. I wonder if they are afraid that their reputation will collapse?"
Zhou Lingshan sat in the office, smiling at his colleague who said this, and said, "Wu Zhengqiang can step on Zhao Kaimin in Tianhao, but he can't get two tricks? He is quite confident in his movies! Let's communicate with Yuebang and Xiaohua. This year's Spring Festival champion must be our "Thousands of Suicheng"!"
As the two biggest hit movies in this year's Spring Festival, the investors behind them all regard each other as their biggest competitors.
As for Qi Yuan's "Crazy Stone", almost no one cares about it.
Just a floppy guy.
What can you do if you can get a box office of 100 million or 200 million in the end?
...
In the evening, the preview meeting ended. Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli met Gu's father and mother Gu who had not returned to China for more than a year in the hotel.
These two old people are very polite. Since they raised the Gu Hongli sisters and they can earn money to support themselves.
The couple went around the world, with the goal of traveling to 251 countries around the world before they were 70 years old.
As soon as Gu’s parents started playing, they were like they forgot that they had two daughters.
Usually, I don’t talk to my two daughters on the phone.
When Gu Hongli divorced, Gu Hongli didn't mention it, and the old couple didn't ask. When they saw the news, they just smiled.
This time, Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli remarried again. In addition, it was the Chinese New Year, and the old couple happened to return to China. Qi Yuan came to pay his respects.
Mama Gu pinched Qi Yuan's face and smiled and said, "Qi Yuan is still the same as before, very tender! Carp, you are taking advantage!"
Mr. Gu filled Qi Yuan with wine and said, "I won't divorce this time, right?"
Qi Yuan raised his wine glass, stuffed his mouth and said seriously: "No more!"
Gu Hongli quickly hammered Qi Yuan and said, "Drink less. Dad, he is a singer, it's best not to drink and protect his voice!"
The family of four had a reunion dinner. The next day, Gu’s parents took a cruise to Antarctica and prepared to go to Antarctica to have fun.
Starting the next day, "Crazy Stone" has launched a small-scale preview of one show every day in 50 cities across the country, including 300 cinemas.
On the first day, 300 screens were available, and the attendance rate was about 49.
Such attendance is already low for a movie that aims to be a Spring Festival.
Because the preview attendance rate of "Alien Arrivals" during the same period was 82, and the preview attendance rate of "Chitsui City" was as high as 89.
The Spring Festival is not an ordinary day. In normal circumstances, a pretty good movie is probably about 30 occupancy rate.
But during the Spring Festival, the attendance rate of 30 is not a passing grade!
After all, this is the largest festival in China!
When the average ticket price was 39 yuan last year, the box office of the Chinese Spring Festival was finally frozen at 10.2 billion, and the number of viewers exceeded 2.6 billion!
The next day, the preview attendance rate of "Crazy Stone" reached 65, which increased significantly from the previous day.
But facing "Aliens to Earth" and "Chiruniu City", the distance is still quite far.
Moreover, all movies of the same period have started pre-sale.
There are still 4 days left before the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Alien Arrivals" and "Thousands of City" both sold over 100 million yuan. This figure shows that at present, the audience wants to watch these two movies.
The other five movies in the same period seem to be with them.
"Crazy Stone" pre-sale is only 5 million, and the screening is less than 5.
"Aliens Coming to Earth" and "Thousands of Years' City" directly took away more than 70% of the films on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Chapter completed!
