Chapter 647 Dress Rehearsal
In the Internet age, information spreads very quickly, and the premiere schedule rates of various Spring Festival movies were exposed by the media on Weibo.
The highest one is undoubtedly "Hao Lan Girl", which ranks first with a film scheduling rate of 35%!
Next is "The Detective", with a film schedule rate of 23%;
Ranked third is "Song of Youth" with 20%.
These three movies alone account for nearly 80% of the entire Spring Festival schedule. Although this is only an estimate based on various theater chains, it can also represent a lot of things.
After this set of data was released, it quickly aroused heated discussion among netizens.
Among them, many fans of Ye Zhiqiu have begun to call him "Liangliang".
"Oh haha, this filming rate is probably gone."
"Sure enough, the competition during the Spring Festival is too fierce."
"This result is not surprising. The subway, bus stations and movie theaters are almost all promotional posters and display racks of the previous movies. It is very lively. In comparison, "When a Man Loves" is too low-key."
"There is still publicity, but the intensity is definitely not as strong as the previous films."
"Damn! It's hard to support it. The premiere is at 23:30 in the evening. I'm already tired after watching it. I can't stop my liver."
"If this situation continues, the box office will probably suffer."
"Ye Zhiqiu: It's okay, I can afford it."
At this time, Pengcheng Yida Building.
Wang Jianye has the habit of reading newspapers in the early morning. When he sits in his position, he mostly does work related to policy decision-making. He is basically not involved in the specific affairs management of the company's industry. However, he is still used to paying attention to relevant information about the industry every day.
After seeing the news about the Spring Festival movie market schedule, Lao Wang thought about it and picked up the phone at hand.
Soon, there was a knock on the door and an executive walked in.
Lao Wang asked directly: "How are the theater schedules arranged for the Spring Festival?"
The executive was stunned, but fortunately he knew what was going on, and quickly recounted the filming and scheduling data of Yida Cinemas across the country.
After listening to the report, Lao Wang pointed to a font on the newspaper and asked: "Is the scheduling rate of this movie a little low?"
The executive looked at the newspaper and explained: "The investment for this film is the smallest among the Spring Festival films. We are not very optimistic about it."
"Also..." The executive paused and said, "Both "Hao Lan Girl" and "Song of Youth" have promised box office rebates, so..."
Lao Wang's expression did not change, he was not surprised by this kind of operation.
For some movies, in order to obtain a greater filming rate and thus increase the box office, rebates, and even red envelopes are very common methods.
This is not to say that those who use this method are bad movies. Sometimes the crew has no choice but to do so, but in this environment, it is indeed much more difficult for a good movie to stand out.
Lao Wang pondered for a moment and said: "Increase the film schedule of "When a Man Falls in Love" by 50%."
The executive looked anxious and said quickly: "But Mr. Wang, this may cost a lot of box office revenue."
"The theater managers below may have opinions..."
Although with the current film schedule of "When Men Fall in Love", it wouldn't be much to increase it by 50%, but time for every Spring Festival show is precious, and doing so will definitely have an impact on the box office.
And the box office is linked to the income of the theater manager, so the other party will definitely not be willing to do so.
"It's okay." Lao Wang said directly: "Let's just settle it like this. For the affected parts, the company will pay an additional fee to replenish them."
The executive was startled. He is also a person who is good at observing people's words and emotions. He would be a fool if he didn't understand that Lao Wang had some relationship with this movie.
The company didn't invest in this movie. Is there any actress in it who belongs to the boss...
The executive was thinking wildly in his mind, but on the surface he responded quickly and neatly, "Okay, I'll make arrangements."
"Haha, you don't have to make up for it. Maybe Mr. Wang has a unique vision and this movie will be a big hit at the box office."
Walking out of the office, the executive quickly took out his mobile phone to check for information about the movie "When Men Fall in Love."
It was fake that the actress had a relationship with the boss, but soon his eyes widened.
I didn't pay attention to it before, but I only roughly knew that it was a movie produced by Huahai Entertainment, and it had a lot to do with Ye Zhiqiu.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the producer column, there are two big characters "Wang Cong" written there.
Damn it! Mr. Wang invested in it, so isn’t this his own movie?
The executives were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Lao Wang wanted to increase the schedule for this movie even if he paid millions. This joke became a big deal...
The executive quickly called his subordinates.
"Hello? Add more movies to "When a Man Loves"!"
"Also, we will pay close attention to the attendance rate of this movie in the future. If it is good, we will add it immediately!"
...
As the Spring Festival approaches, Ye Zhiqiu comes to Beijing again after attending several press conferences in major cities with the crew.
This time, I participated in the first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala with Yu Caiwei and Phoenix Legend.
Along the way, the most nervous people were the two eldest Phoenix Legends.
On the one hand, it's been ten years since I debuted and it's my first time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. I'm naturally excited. On the other hand, even though I've been selected into the program, it doesn't mean that I'm guaranteed to be stable. You have to know that Spring Festival Gala rehearsals will also attract people.
In the business car, Linghua asked curiously: "Weiwei, what was the special feeling you had when you sang on the Spring Festival Gala stage last year?"
"Or is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Yu Caiwei tilted her head and thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, just like usual."
Zhuang Yi and Linghua looked at each other and were speechless.
Yes, it’s free to ask.
Ye Zhiqiu said casually: "Brother Yi, Sister Hua, why are you nervous? With your strength, you will definitely advance steadily."
Linghua smiled bitterly and said: "Although I say so, it is still unavoidable."
"I'm not afraid of your laughter. The two of us used to wish for the last Spring Festival Gala. Now that the opportunity has really come, we don't know how to sing properly."
"This is simple." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Just show the state of your singing at the National Square Dance Competition last month. The effect is absolutely perfect."
"Just think about it, how many fans of your square dance songs are in front of the TV, wouldn't the atmosphere immediately rise?"
Ye Zhiqiu's words made Zhuang Yi and Linghua smile, and they felt miraculously relaxed.
Several people came to Huayang Building, passed through the dense crowd of reporters at the door, and arrived at the rehearsal studio.
Backstage, there were already many Spring Festival Gala guests present.
When Ye Zhiqiu, Yu Caiwei and their group appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Scenes, songs, dances, actors, and language programs can all be picked up casually, and you will be a big shot in a certain industry.
Although Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei are young, their status as kings and queens is definitely among the highest in the field.
Especially when everyone learned through various channels that Ye Zhiqiu alone had three new songs to debut during the Spring Festival Gala.
Chapter completed!
