Chapter 1803 Small cost and big counterattack
"Although Zhao Fan is wild, his basic skills are still solid." Xu Shanshan still felt a little uncomfortable when she attacked Zhao Fan in front of Shi Hai.
Although Zhao Fan has been out of the crew for many years, she occasionally misses Zhao Fan's efforts toward her.
Shi Hai turned against others, and this mentality made people feel a little uncomfortable. If he parted ways with him that day, he would probably be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Zhao Fan left a shadow in Xu Shanshan's heart.
Although Xu Shanshan has many excellent men around her, she knows that those people are just acting on occasion with her. How many are there in real pure feelings?
When she drove Zhao Fan away, Xu Shanshan felt panic in her heart. She was worried that she would be defeated by Zhao Fan's tender offensive one day.
Xu Shanshan is an ambitious woman. She wants to be the best female director in China, but she also clearly knows the environment she is in. There are only a few women who can succeed in China, and there are only a handful of successful female directors.
Xu Shanshan knew that if she wanted to climb, she had to rely on the power of the outside world and how beautiful she was, so she could easily get producers and investors, and successfully created one blockbuster movie after another, which was getting closer and closer to her dream.
Xu Shanshan is mentally wise and sober. She has not made any innovations in these movies recently, and is just a routine movie that caters to commercial tastes.
The old-fashioned plots and dry dialogues do not make people shine. Although movies like this can certainly achieve certain results at the box office, it is difficult to win international awards.
I have been working as a director for many years, and what I am most satisfied with is that Zhao Fan racked his brains with me and created several debut works when he was in the crew.
Some places seem very immature, spend a lot of effort and energy, and incorporate their own personal characteristics.
Xu Shanshan has never asked about Zhao Fan's current situation. In her opinion, since she has different opinions, there is no need to make plans.
Zhao Fan has not appeared in his own vision for a long time because of his mediocrity.
Unexpectedly, this year, Zhao Fan rose rapidly like a thunder, and became famous quickly with the hot variety show "Youth Wild".
In the director world, first-class directors do movies, second-rate directors do TV series, and third-rate directors do variety shows...
…
In Xu Shanshan's opinion, even if Zhao Fan became famous by filming reality shows, he was not at all famous.
Therefore, the movie "Wild of Youth" directed by Zhao Fan was not in Xu Shanshan's eyes at all, and this movie is not the main competitor of "The Secret of Heaven".
The results on the premiere day also show everything. The box office of "Tianji" is more than 50 million. Although it has a lot of water, at least the movie "Youth Wild" only has two million results, which is more than one level higher.
Xu Shanshan didn't know that the box office of more than 50 million yuan was very rich, and it all came from the movie "Wild of Youth".
When Xu Shanshan saw someone put the results of the two movies together, she instinctively felt that this was a humiliation!
"A lot of people were leaving the festival, and were affected by the withdrawal of the "Youth Wild" team." A crew member rushed in and said.
"Although the market response of that big movie is not good, there is still popularity." Shi Hai's confidant eyes flashed by.
Xu Shanshan's eyes flashed across Shi Hai and said lightly: "The film festival starts, let's hurry up and get in the seat."
Xu Shanshan took a group of people into the guest seat from the backstage lounge area. She swept the slightly deserted seat from the corner of her eyes and was inevitably a little surprised, because she had seen the audience on the way, but she didn't expect there were so many people leaving.
Xu Shanshan will not be affected by the audience's withdrawal.
She often participates in such film festivals, so her speech is extremely charming, not only humorous, but also very wise.
After the film festival, Xu Shanshan had a midnight snack with the crew and the actors, and returned to the hotel where she stayed, it was already early in the morning.
She turned on her laptop and called out the box office report for the day from her email address. She was slightly surprised because the box office the next day was a little incomprehensible.
"Tianji" still leads the box office with a single-day box office of 40 million, but the second place is the movie "Youth Wild", which is closely behind with a box office of 20 million, and its recent box office rankings have also reached the seventh and eighth place.
"They must have bought the box office." Xu Shanshan made a quick judgment. Unless she bought the box office, it would be impossible to suddenly go from 2 million to 20 million. This increase would be too great.
However, buying a box office is within the scope of the unspoken rules and is not a matter of anger or resentment from heaven.
After all, the money is taken out with real money. Moreover, the box office of "Tianji" is not that emotional, and it also contains moisture, but it is just a matter of how much. If the results do not meet expectations, a part of the budget will be invested in it to operate the box office.
Many cinemas have booked movies, but no audience is available, but all the movie tickets are sold out. This is the promotional and distribution company making the seal behind the scenes.
"Tianji" is bound to win the box office champion from New Year's Day to Spring Festival this year.
Xu Shanshan thought for a while, called Liang Cheng and asked, "What is the actual box office today?"
Liang Cheng is a night owl. He is also studying yesterday's box office situation and truthfully said: "Two,2,380,000."
Xu Shanshan frowned and said, "Why did she lose 10 million yesterday?"
According to the box office trend, the box office in the previous week should rise steadily every day; the second week will remain unchanged, and it will not decline until the third week.
But now is the second day, and the box office of "Tianji" has declined, which makes Xu Shanshan realize that this is by no means a good sign.
"We will increase the volume of screenings starting tomorrow." Liang Cheng also smelled a slight danger.
The box office of "Tianji" declined the next day, and the actual box office of the "Youth Wild" movie still maintained an increase of about 40% under the negative circumstances.
According to Liang Cheng's experience, although the movie "Youth Wild" is low in cost and the shooting and production cycle is very short, it is suitable for the public's taste.
The public's aesthetic is very strange and is constantly changing. At this stage, you may like movies with relaxed entertainment styles, and in the next stage, you may like movies with grand war scenes.
Even experienced veterans cannot truly grasp the public's aesthetic.
If it weren't for the commission of Han Zhaolun, he would definitely take the initiative to contact the team of the "Wild Youth" movie, because the data will not lie or cheat. As long as he can win the opportunity to operate the box office of this movie, his value will be far more valuable than operating "Tianji".
Xu Shanshan paused and asked, "What do you think of the box office of the movie "Wild"?"
"Although it is a movie that is made at a low cost, the market response is quite good." Liang Cheng said quickly, "However, you don't need to worry too much. Although their single-day box office has increased today, it is impossible to keep this forever. It is very likely that the other party is secretly operating the box office and spending tens of millions to buy the box office."
Liang Cheng also hopes that his analysis is correct, but he tells himself rationally that the possibility is not very high.
If you are buying a box office, you have many friends in the theater chain, and someone will definitely remind you in time.
It is human nature to report good news but not bad news. Liang Chengzheng could not tell Xu Shanshan that the actual box office of the Wild Youth Movie on the second day had exceeded "Tian Ji".
In addition, the two thousand fake box offices all stolen from the big movie "Youth Wild"!
However, Liang Cheng operated the act of stealing box office the next day in private and did not inform the "Tianji".
Xu Shanshan doesn't know that the 20 million yuan of water is all from the big movie "Youth Wild", but she thinks that these box office scattered from other movies of the same period.
The reason is that Liang Cheng cannot let "Tianji" know that he is taking advantage of the double line. Not only does he take over their business, but he is also secretly helping Han Zhaolun suppress the box office of the "Youth Wild" movie.
Stepping on two boats at one foot is not a good thing in any case.
Xu Shanshan got confirmation from Liang Cheng, and was in a little stable mood. She smiled and said, "You still need to pay special attention to the box office in the next few days. We must win the box office championship of the New Year's Day and Spring Festival movies."
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "There must be no problem with such a good start."
After calling Liang Cheng, Xu Shanshan took a reassurance. She turned off the computer and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
When I changed my bathrobe and got my cell phone, I suddenly found that several missed calls were all called by Shi Hai.
"What happened?" Xu Shanshan's tone was very dissatisfied. It was almost as fast as it was now, so it was obviously inappropriate to call herself.
"I have to tell you something now. Yunhai Satellite TV called me just now. The variety show "All Star Attack" that our crew will participate in tomorrow will be terminated by the TV station." Shi Hai said with a wry smile.
"All-Star Attack" is a golden variety show on Yunhai Satellite TV, with very high ratings. If the actors can participate in the recording of this program and cooperate with the promotion of the movie, they can attract at least 50 million box offices. Now they are rejected, it means losing 50 million box offices.
"Did the other party say the reason for refusing?" Xu Shanshan said angrily.
TV variety show announcements generally have no agreement or contract, because the duration of the actors will change at any time. If there is a verbal agreement, there will be no accidental changes.
"No, but I can think of the reason." Shi Hai said in a deep voice, "It must be Zhao Fan. They are using the resources in the TV circle to try to interfere with our box office."
In the film and television industry, the quality of movies must be better than that of TV series. Therefore, movies generally look down on people in the TV industry, and people in the TV industry also want to squeeze into the movie industry. Moreover, the situation in the film industry is very obvious. Now, well-known directors, except for those who have already become famous, rarely have new directors.
It is hard for a new director to become famous, not to mention that he wants to enter theaters.
Xu Shanshan sneered: "Since they want to fight head-on, let's try it. It's too natural to watch shoddy movies that want to be a big deal."
