Back To 2005

"No, it's too early to shout now, it will scare people."

Hearing that Miss Wang was going to use the killer weapon, Zhou Anan quickly reassured her that the matter would not involve the other party's relationship.

As long as it is a matter that can be solved commercially, it is still a rule of the mall to use commercial means.

Besides, he didn't feel too much pressure.

If those people are really crazy, it won't be too late to use this killer weapon.

"All right."

Seeing what Brother An said, Wang Xiaoxiao had no intention of complaining to his uncles.

"I think at this point in time, there is a high probability that Huang's Pictures and Fleeting Entertainment are behind the plan."

When it comes to business matters, Yu Xian'er, as the president of the US-US Network with a net worth of several billion, still has a lot of say.

In particular, she doesn't interfere much in the affairs of Blue Whale Entertainment, which is clear to onlookers.

"Sister Xian'er is talking about the battle for the movie box office in July."

After listening to Miss Yu's analysis, Zhou An'an quickly thought of the three domestic science fiction movies that are currently experiencing an explosion of publicity.

The three major science fiction productions that caused a stir last year, Blue Whale Entertainment's "The Martian", Huang's Films' "Battle of the Devil", and Fleet Entertainment's "Guardian of the Earth", are all scheduled to be the most popular summer releases without exception. At the beginning of July, other small and medium-sized investment movies were avoided.

Previously, the three companies spent tens of millions on publicity, and Huang's Pictures spent a lot of money on publicity across the entire network.

Movie lovers all over China are already looking forward to the summer release of "Three Dragons".

At this time, it is normal for the two opponents of Blue Whale Entertainment to do some tricks behind the scenes.

"Huang's Pictures is about to go public. The success of "Battle of the Magic City" is related to the stock price of their company's listing."

Yu Xianer saw this clearly.

The company's listing is nothing more than a scam. It depends on whether retail investors will buy it.

Even, in order to make their movie box office higher, some unconventional methods will be used.

For example, a grand slam at midnight.

"Um."

After Miss Yu said this, Zhou Anan felt that the Huang brothers were the most suspicious.

However, another company, Fleeting Entertainment, which wants to use movie box office to deceive more private financing, is definitely not innocent.

"Both of them have invested hundreds of millions more. Isn't our box office in danger?"

As the company's program director, Wang Xiaoxiao also has certain views on this.

Although she has not seen the three movies, the special effects and other features of such a large-scale science fiction movie should be similar. The other two opponents have increased their investment in publicity and clearly have the upper hand.

In particular, Huang's Pictures' "Battle of the Magic City" is said to be premiering simultaneously in Southeast Asia, and its momentum is unparalleled.

"Don't worry, little lady, the box office ultimately depends on the quality of the work."

In this regard, Zhou Anan sat firmly on Diaoyutai.

Not to mention the fake sci-fi project of Lian Nian Entertainment, which is riding the popularity and seeking short-term financing, this is a real big production by Huang's Pictures, the former leader in the domestic film and television industry. When you hear the name, it is a must-have.

There was a movie with the same name in my previous life, but my grandma didn’t even recognize it.

In this life, the male and female protagonists have evolved a bit, but they cannot change their exaggerated nature.

Even if I have to buy the box office privately, how much can I buy?

50000000?

100000000?

Or 200 million?

After all, fighting against the street is fighting against the street. The important task of revitalizing domestic science fiction has to be shouldered by Blue Whale Entertainment.

What's more, Blue Whale Entertainment still has a big killer weapon that has not been activated.

"Really? Then when will our internal screening be, can we go and watch it together?"

After listening to An Xiaodi's words, Wang Xiaoxiao's eyebrows were picturesque and he asked with a smile.

She didn't know who Brother An would ask to watch the movie as soon as the company's movie was released, and Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't take the initiative to ask.

However, the internal screening of this company must be much earlier, and you can watch it with the other party justifiably.

"Just this afternoon, let's go take a look."

As if not hearing the meaning of Miss Wang's words, Zhou Anan took the initiative to invite.

The internal screenings of the other two rival theater chains have already ended, and they have received many commitments from major theater chains. Only Blue Whale Entertainment has postponed the internal screenings until mid-June.

In addition to the confidence of Blue Whale Entertainment, Blue Whale has also received commitments from Qianbao Cinema and Qingshu Cinema to obtain at least 60% of their 2D screen share and all of their 3D screen share.

After the continuous investment of the Song family in Shuzhong, the current Qingshu Cinema Line has completely digested the three cinema chains of Wuhu, Sihai and Haidong Times. After the integration, it has expanded vigorously and has become the top three domestic cinema chains, second only to Qian. Treasures and stars.

Judging from the momentum of Miss Song's family, it seems that she will further expand and continue to build new cinemas in third- and fourth-tier small cities, and she has the potential to catch up with the two big brothers before her.

Previously, Blue Whale Entertainment spent its own money to cooperate with two major theater chains to develop 3D screen construction. The investment was not in vain.

The top three theater chains together account for 22% of the 2D screens and 50% of the 3D screens in domestic theaters. "The Martian" has already taken a huge lead before the screening begins. machine.

Especially in terms of 3D box office, the ticket price is twice that of ordinary 2D box office, which is definitely the main force in the movie box office competition.

"Mr. Zhao..."

"Mr. Li..."

"Mr. Wang..."

…

On Friday afternoon, at the elevator entrance of the floor where the Blue Whale Entertainment Screening Hall is located, Feng Jiming, the general manager, greeted and dropped off, and it was very busy.

As one of the three most popular science fiction blockbusters in this summer's holiday season, senior executives of many theater chains have personally participated in the battle to determine the share of early film schedules.

As the major shareholder behind the scenes, Zhou Anan was already sitting quietly in the corner of the luxurious screening room with the two eldest ladies, eating popcorn and coffee, waiting for the movie to start.

There wasn't much of a prelude. After Feng Jiming and other senior executives from all the theaters arrived, they started playing the movie directly.

All entertainment is fictitious, only the quality of the movie is the hard currency.

Only when the quality is good can the management of these theaters be willing to lower the share of films in order to gain tickets in the pockets of the audience.

"In 20**, China conducted preliminary research on the development of Mars..."

On the Blue Whale spacecraft, where the Earth Alliance headed by China is conducting research on Mars development, crew members of all skin colors are enjoying leisurely space travel, and the story unfolds.

In order to be released in Europe and the United States and attract audiences of different skin colors into the cinema, in addition to several Chinese leading actors, the crew of the Blue Whale also has several white-skinned and dark-skinned important supporting roles. Even Marvel's Iron Man and Widow Sister made friendly guest appearances. A character at the Earth Federation Space Center.

"An'an, if I stay alone on Mars, will you come find me?"

Seeing the male protagonist forgotten on Mars, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was a little uncomfortable, whispered to Brother An next to him.

"Of course, we have to find it no matter what the cost."

Hearing Miss Wang's emotional question, Zhou Anan answered without hesitation.

At this time, there must be no hesitation.

Moreover, you can't tell jokes like "you have to live to see people ****", lest it ruin the atmosphere.

"Um."

After receiving Brother An's affirmative reply, Wang Xiaoxiao's face turned red and without saying anything else, her attention returned to the survival plot of the male protagonist who was slightly worse than Brother An on the big screen.

Yu Xian'er was silent on the side, but the popcorn in his hand was slowly deforming.

Forget about watching a movie, I was fed a bunch of dog food off guard, it was just...

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The final subtitles of the film appeared and the lights came back on. All the senior executives of the major theaters present stood up and applauded. Many people had strange expressions of confusion on their faces.

"Before I go to have afternoon tea with you, I would like to announce to you that "The Martian" produced by our company will be released simultaneously in major theaters around the world. Currently, "The Martian" has obtained 8% of the North American chain theaters The film schedule and 21% of the film schedules of European theater chains..."

After the movie screening, Feng Jiming stood up and went on stage. Instead of inviting the theater executives to the restaurant for afternoon tea, he announced a small news first.
