Chapter 423 A good way to make money
Liu Rong could not accept:
"Then...what on earth is going on?!"
The general manager can only tell the truth:
"It's probably because the quality of these two movies is not good enough."
Liu Rong was speechless and sighed.
If things continue like this, the situation at Dadi Cinemas will only get worse.
At this point, the general manager finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said tentatively:
"Boss Liu, actually right now, there is a very good way to make money."
"Oh? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Liu Rong was overjoyed, and then couldn't help getting annoyed.
Damn it, are you trying to piss me off on purpose or what?
The general manager gritted his teeth, and finally said:
"The prime-time attendance rate of 'China Partners' is 100%."
"As long as we increase the screening of this film, we can make more money ."
"Great! Then what are you still standing there for!"
Hearing this, Liu Rong said subconsciously.
However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liu Rong realized something was wrong.
"Hua Xia Partner"? Isn't that the movie of Xingyi Media and Su Chen?
How could the attendance be so high!
Also, I wanted to criticize Xingyi Media and Su Chen, but how could I have the nerve to do that now? I changed my mind in less than 24 hours. If the people under me find out, how will they look at me?
In fact, even though he was only facing the general manager, Liu Rong already felt a burning pain on his face.
Liu Rong is simply contradicting himself by doing this!
The general manager certainly understood Liu Rong's concerns. For the sake of performance, he had no choice but to fight:
"Chairman, we can't go against money."
Why should a businessman have any shame? Making money is the right thing to do.
Liu Rong was going through a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.
After a long struggle between his conscience and his own thoughts, Liu Rong threw away his sleeves and said:
"You decide!"
Since it's your idea, just execute it. Don't I have any face?
How can you go back on your word like this?
After saying that, he left angrily.
This made the general manager confused for a moment.
Let's see what happens? What does it mean?
However, think about the current predicament of Dadi Cinemas and Liu Rong’s vague hints.
The general manager finally had an epiphany.
The chairman is unable to let go of his pride, but he actually wants to make more money.
That's it.
Therefore, the general manager immediately made a decision to increase the screening rate of Su Chen’s film "China Partners" to 30%!
A strikingly similar scene also happened to Cheng Tian Jiahe and Wu Kebo.
Under Wu Kebo's special instructions, Chengtian Jiahe was able to reduce the screening schedule of "Chinese Partners".
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny.
Now that the data has been collected, the attendance rate of "China Partners" is frighteningly high.
This happened to Wu Kebo, which made him feel even more difficult to accept.
He wants to suppress Xingyi Media because he likes to show off.
But now it seems that Wu Kebo's previous actions made him seem like a clown!
Fortunately, Wu Kebo is also a man who has seen many ups and downs.
After smashing everything on the table, Wu Kebo could only swallow his anger.
You can be hard on anyone, but you can't be hard on money, right?
In the end, Wu Kebo still gave the order to increase the screening schedule of "Chinese Partners".
Just at this moment.
After discussion, senior executives of major cinema chains have reduced the screening schedules of "After Earth" and "Fortress of Mordor".
Directly increased the screening schedule of Su Chen’s film "China Partners" to 40%!
Damn, with 100% attendance rate, why don’t you increase the screening ratio and waste resources by giving high screenings to those bad movies?
As the news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens from all walks of life.
“Well-deserved!”
"What was the cinema doing so early?"
"Shame on the cinema chain for being so slow to react! Hadn't they seen the movie a long time ago? Why did they make such a decision before that? How shortsighted!"
“The three movies are totally not on the same level!”
"Fortunately, justice is only late, not absent!"
“…”
Su Chen’s fans were immediately overjoyed.
"You guys know what's best for you!"
"Now you believe this is a conspiracy, right? Dadi Cinema and Chengtian Jiahe deliberately suppressed Xingyi and Chen Ge. Needless to say, all the major cinema chains are also screwed and are following suit!"
"The first two movies were purely commercial films to make money, but Chen Ge's movies are works of art!"
"A bad movie will always be a bad movie. It won't become a good movie just because the screening schedule is increased!"
“…”
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were very happy when they received the news.
They immediately came to Su Chen:
"Such a good thing, Xiaochen, how about we have a celebration banquet?"
"Such a big happy event must be celebrated."
However, Su Chen's reaction was surprisingly calm.
"Let's celebrate when the box office is high."
"It's just a small thing, what's there to celebrate?"
Well, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun had actually already gotten used to Su Chen's style.
If this is too small for you and not worth celebrating, that's okay.
But we can celebrate on our own.
That night, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun had a big dinner with their family to vent their emotions.
To others, it might just be that the movie has been screened more frequently, but to them, it is a victory for Liu Rong and Wu Kebo.
This news is the best sedative for Jiang Chao and Yu Entai.
To be honest, they had been worried before because their leading actors would affect the reputation of Su Chen's films and lower the screening schedule of Su Chen's films.
They have been feeling bad these days.
Now, it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with them, it’s entirely the cinema’s fault.
at the same time.
After making the decision to increase the screening schedule of "China Partners", the general manager of Dadi Cinemas has been closely following the data of this film.
However, half an hour later, when the latest show began, the general manager was shocked to see that the attendance rate of this movie was only in the single digits.
How is this possible!
He was shocked!
Combined with previous data, after the screening schedule has been increased, the attendance rate of this movie should also be very high.
The general manager was puzzled.
At the same time, the general manager was also very panicked.
If the chairman knew the result, would he eat me alive?
Could this be some big incident?
Thinking of this, the general manager quickly took out his mobile phone to check the latest network updates.
The next second, the general manager felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
Because, at the top of each major hot search list, the general manager saw the following entry:
“Calling for a boycott of Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe!”
How is this possible?
how so?
The general manager just found it difficult to understand and unacceptable.
With great doubts, the general manager clicked on the entry.
The specific content is as follows: "Dadi Cinema and Chengtian Jiahe maliciously suppressed Brother Chen, and previously reduced the screening schedule of "Huaxia Partners" to a single digit! We call on all fans to unite and boycott Dadi Cinema and Chengtian Jiahe together!"
This Weibo post received support from countless netizens, with more than one million likes and replies in a short period of time!
"They do it on the first day, we do it on the fifteenth!"
“I’ve never seen such a disgusting cinema!”
"For Brother Chen, we must fight back!"
"The cinema chain that suppressed Brother Chen must pay the price for it!"
“The Internet has memory!”
“…”
This news made all the celebrities in the entertainment industry look at it with surprise.
Is this the influence of Su Chen in today's entertainment industry? This is too terrifying!
It seems that in the future, unless it is a life-and-death feud, it is better not to provoke Su Chen.
Such a big commotion finally alarmed Wu Kebo.
Wu Kebo once again transformed himself into a desktop cleaning master and smashed everything on the desktop to pieces.
Xingyi Media, damn it!
Su Chen, damn it!
Netizens from all walks of life, even more hateful!!!
However, Wu Kebo could only vent his anger in private.
He doesn't dare to say anything nonsense on the Internet. If he dares to provoke netizens on the Internet, all industrial chains of Chengtian Jiahe will be collectively boycotted by netizens in minutes.
To do that would be tantamount to isolating Chengtian Jiahe from the world.
Wu Kebo wouldn't be that stupid.
Zhong Lei, Zhong Jun, Su Chen, let’s wait and see!
However, a seed of hatred was buried even deeper in Wu Kebo's heart.
The main creators of "China Partners" celebrated each other through various channels.
"come on!"
"Brother Chen is the best! We are the best!"
“Keep up the good work and achieve even better results!”
“…”
At this time, they finally got rid of their anger.
Previously, major cinema chains reduced the screening schedule of "Chinese Partners", which made them very angry.
Why should such a high-quality movie suffer this?
What’s even more exaggerated is that Chengtian Jiahe and Dadi Cinemas deliberately suppressed it.
It's totally unjust!
But now, the evildoer has finally received retribution!
How does the saying go? You will suffer the consequences if you do evil!
That night, the netizens' boycott action was very effective.
The attendance rates of each movie screening at Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe were all in the single digit!
On the Internet, netizens from all walks of life were proud.
Yes, at this time, not only Su Chen’s fans, but fans all over the Internet, after learning the truth, consciously joined the ranks of boycotting the two theaters.
"I never thought that in today's entertainment industry, there are still people who dare to maliciously suppress Brother Chen!"
"Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't!"
"Are Liu Rong and Wu Kebo's brains filled with water? They don't schedule such a good movie for screening!"
"Haha, we can't understand the world of rich people!"
"Wu Kebo is a living treasure in the entertainment industry. Just wait and see. This matter is not over yet!"
“…”
The next day.
The movie’s first-day box office statistics are also out.
The results were beyond everyone's imagination.
"Chinese Partners" ranks first with a box office revenue of 300 million!
The box office of "After Earth" is 200 million.
The box office of "The Fortress of Devil City" is 150 million.
But you have to know that this is the box office result of "China Partners" after it was suppressed for 18 hours.
In fact, "Chinese Partners" returned to normal screening schedule and achieved such a high box office in just four hours. It's so terrifying!
This data immediately set off the entire network.
Netizens from all walks of life have expressed their emotions through major social networks:
"Fuck! Brother Chen is still awesome!"
"The cinema chain must have been kicked in the head by a donkey for suppressing Chen Ge's movie!"
"Where is your basic appreciation?"
“…”
The Smiths were actually .
You know, this movie has already been a huge flop in its native country.
Although it was not the box office champion on the first day after coming to China, the income is still acceptable.
With this box office revenue, "After Earth" will at least make back its investment in a month, right?
Of course, they can't help feeling a little frustrated.
When did Chinese celebrities become so awesome?
In Smith's impression, when it comes to the box office, Chinese films have never been able to compete with Hollywood blockbusters.
But now, the appearance of Su Chen made them see a different situation.
Lu Han was very depressed at this time.
Originally, he thought that he could use this movie to complete a counterattack against Su Chen.
I never expected it!
When playing basketball, he was crushed by Su Chen. When releasing a new song, he was crushed by Su Chen. Now when releasing a new movie, he is still crushed by Su Chen!
How will this top young star feel when facing his fans in the future?
Is it true that he is really useless in front of Su Chen?
How about, Brother Chen, let's have a football game?
Lu Han felt that he should be able to defeat Su Chen on the green field, right?
Shuqi was also very disappointed.
Such a high topicality, coupled with the popular young actor Lu Han, still can't save the box office of the movie "The Fortress of Devil City"?
This was really a huge blow to her morale.
Although Shu Qi has successfully transformed herself, in fact, she does not have many outstanding works in the film industry.
I originally thought that the movie "The Fortress" would be a new breakthrough for her.
However, he was nailed to the pillar of shame.
Perhaps, if he wants to become popular again, he can only ride on Su Chen's popularity?
Perhaps, I can seek the possibility of cooperation with Su Chen in the future?
This wave of market conditions is just the beginning for Su Chen’s favorite movie “China Partners”.
When the box office statistics for this movie came out on the second day, it shocked everyone again.
Five hundred million!
Yes, the box office revenue of "Chinese Partners" in 24 hours on the second day of its release reached an astonishing 500 million!
At the same time, what surprised everyone a little was that the box office of the Smith father and son's movie "After Earth" on the second day remained at 200 million.
The second-day box office of "The Fortress of Devil City" was only 100 million.
When this result came out, different parties reacted differently.
The vast majority of people were once again stunned by Su Chen's terrifying box office appeal.
"Oh my god! Brother Chen is so scary! What was the highest single-day box office record for the previous movie? It's almost going to be broken!"
“I think this record is just the beginning!”
"To put it bluntly, the only thing that can break Brother Chen's record is probably Brother Chen's own movie!"
"Jiang Chao and Yu Entai's acting skills are great. They are seriously underestimated!"
"A very honest and powerful movie. Much more touching than those so-called big productions with cheap special effects !"
“…”
