Chapter 53 Unpopular Art Films(1/2)

Although Helianbei is not here, he and Zhou Yiyang have the same view.

After he finished the movie he starred in this time, he felt that it was not worth it on earth.

To be honest, if there were really those audiences who were just for fun watching movies, because seeing the overwhelming marketing on Douyin Weibo and looking at this movie, Helianbei could already imagine how low the audience would give the movie in the end.

Thinking of this, Helianbei was actually praying in his heart, hoping that Zhou Yiyang would not promote the movie on a large scale.

It’s better to wait until the official reputation comes out before slowly promoting it.

It has to be said that Helianbei’s idea coincides with Zhou Yiyang.

In the next two days, the only thing that was anxious was Helianbei's fans.

"It will be released in two days, why is there no promotion yet? Xiao Liu, do you know what's going on?" Sister Wang, who is forty, sat behind the cashier, but only she knew that she had devoted all her energy to her small phone.

Xiao Liu, who was on the train, put on his headphones. He first clamped the briefcase under his armpit a little, and then said after a while:

"Sister Wang, I don't know either. Maybe the company has its own ideas!"

Sister Wang pursed her mouth. Although she also liked Zhou Yiyang with tender skin, only Helianbei was her original intention.

"Don't!" Sister Wang frowned: "In this era, wine is not afraid of the deep alley, it has long been outdated! A few of us old sisters, except me, don't know that Abei has a new movie! Our Abei's new movie will be lost!"

Sister Wang is mixed in the Helianbei fan group and has learned a lot of fan terms. Now she is very worried that no one cares about this movie.

After all, she read the Internet that if an actor plays the leading role, he will be abandoned by capital.

She really couldn't imagine how sad she would be if Helianbei had to be a supporting role in the movie in the future.

"Or what if our fans promote it spontaneously?" Sister Wang thought about it, but she had no good idea.

At this time, a customer came to the store. Sister Wang thought of her son who was still in high school, so she immediately started laughing and greeted her with a smile.

"Little sister, what are you going to eat!" Sister Wang asked very gently.

The little sister smiled foolishly, but held her boyfriend in her hand: "Boss, please recommend it!"

Half an hour later, the two of them finished their meal happily, and the proprietress suddenly stopped them. "Well, do you like watching movies?"

The young couple was stunned for a second, but they still replied politely: "I will go and see it occasionally, and if I have time, I will see it."

The boss's wife nodded, and she felt that her behavior was too crazy, no different from the young people reported in the news.

"Well, I'll recommend a movie to you, it will be released the day after tomorrow, called "Crane City by the Sea". "The boss said seriously: "But I think the introduction is an art film, so just don't watch it as a comedy."

The two young men looked at each other and smiled, thinking it was interesting to recommend movies to themselves.

They nodded and wrote down the name of the movie.

"Thank you, let's go see it when you have time."

After they returned home, the little sister searched the Internet and couldn't help but find that the movie was actually starring Helianbei.

"This lineup is very luxurious, but I haven't seen any related promotions." Her boyfriend asked in a low voice after seeing it.

The little sister shook her head: "Then are we going to see it?"

"Art film, and I remember some media critics said that the movie is more depressing." My boyfriend has already logged into Douban skillfully: "Will you like it?"

"Then forget it!" The little sister crossed out the movie and pointed to a very popular romance film on Douyin, which was released on the same day as "Crane City by the Sea": "This is good, couples force it to push it, watch this!"

Lao Liu on the train seemed to be inspired by Sister Wang, and he also tried to chat with the people sitting next to him in the carriage.

After all, Lao Liu is a salesperson, and he depends on his mouth. He almost didn't have much effort, so Lao Liu started chatting with the people around him.

However, whenever he recommends a movie to them, the people next to them will show a very subtle expression.

They stared at Lao Liu, as if thinking about whether this person would be a scalper selling movie tickets!

However, out of politeness, these people asked Lao Liu about the subject and content of the movie.

When they learned that this was an art film, they all started to laugh.

"Hi, sister, I think we should not waste time." Old Liu held his cell phone and reported his experience in the group: "No one watched it at all. When he heard it was an art film, it might be a tragedy. When he saw me, he almost pointed at my nose and said that I was a fool."

"But you said that if the box office of this movie was not high on the first day, would it still be a film scheduling?"

A person in the group who is very professional in the box office research of movies stood up:

"Yes, the schedule of cinemas changes in real time. Generally, cinemas will adjust schedules on the third day, that is, after Sunday. However, for art films, some cruel theaters may arrange for them to watch during the day and midnight, which are almost no one to watch."

This is a very obscure filming schedule. Judging from the number of scenes, the number of scenes released every day remains unchanged. However, the original prime time filming schedule has become seven or eight o'clock in the morning, which is almost equivalent to being abandoned by the theater.

When Sister Wang heard this, she covered her chest, as if she was about to faint immediately:

"How can this be done! Then, then our new movie in Abei will not be visible after being released for one day! I also plan to organize the old sisters to watch it on weekends!"

Sister Wang’s concerns are not overly worried. After the release of "Crane City by the Sea", the film schedule on that day was only third.

Moreover, the third-place film schedule is actually very clear to the industry insiders, and the theaters are all given by Zhou Yiyang for the sake of Zhou Yiyang.

Such people who have no popular traffic or marketing hot spots, can't tell what artistic film the director wants to talk about by the name. If it weren't for Zhou Yiyang's production, it might be that the filming schedule would be only about five o'clock on the first day, and then in a few days, the movie completely disappeared.

"Mr. Zhou," Guan Fei pushed open the door of the office. When she saw Zhou Yiyang, she asked in a low voice: "The first batch of film reviews are coming out."

At this time, Zhou Yiyang, who was busy with the new variety show, raised his head and nodded, looking very calm, not as described by the outside world.

The rumors about Zhou Yiyang on the Internet are very exaggerated, saying that he has a kind of morbid personality that loves money so much.

Some people also said that they were an employee of Yiyang Entertainment. They saw Zhou Yiyang going crazy in the office, just because "Crane City by the Sea" was going to lose money.

Gu/span> Guan Fei glanced at Zhou Yiyang and always felt that Zhou Yiyang seemed very happy. "Brother Yang, this time the screening is not only poor, but the attendance rate is also average. Don't we promote it yet? Then, that is the work of Director Zhang after all!"

After she said this, she covered her mouth with fear.

However, Zhou Yiyang didn't care. He raised his head and whispered: "It's okay. I've been waiting for so long. It's okay if I wait for a while. After the review is released, we will adjust it based on the review."

"Yes." Guan Fei nodded: "It's me that I'm too anxious."

"It's okay," Zhou Yiyang said very humbly: "But you can take a look at the gossip on the Internet, but don't believe it."

"I know Mr. Zhou." Guan Fei nodded seriously immediately: "Then I'll go out first."

"No, let's take a look at the movie reviews together!" Zhou Yiyang kept refreshing the homepage of Weibo. If such a movie seemed to be ignored by everyone, it should be a very interesting thing if it counterattacked.

At the same time, Su Yin was lying on a somewhat narrow bed, but she didn't seem to feel wronged about such a situation. She was holding her cell phone and just wanted to laugh.

"Are you going to the theater right now?" Su Yin asked in a low voice.

Opposite her, Tang Yue's face looked very vivid.

When she heard Su Yin's words, she reacted for a few seconds before she spoke:

"Yes, we have already arrived at the entrance of the theater. But what about you, what are you doing these days!"

After Wang Xingrui squeezed Tang Yue away very hard, she waved to Su Yin excitedly: "Baby, you feel lost! Xuan'er is going to sell popcorn!"

"It must be delicious!" Su Yin smiled: "I have been shopping in this city these days and have been to many places. I have to say it's quite fun, just like traveling."

Listening to Su Yin's words, Tang Yue looked a little envious: "You are actually traveling, this is great! We are all on the set these days!"

"The set should be very interesting," Su Yin heard the knock on the door at this time, and supported the selfie stick with one hand and pressed the door handle with the other.

She first came to the cat carefully and saw that the person outside was Zhang Yiling, then she smiled and opened the door.

Zhang Yiling was about to hug Su Yin when she found the equipment in her hand: "Who are you video call?"

Zhang Yiling asked Su Yin with her mouth shape.

"Tang Yue and the others, Yiling, do you want to say hello to them?" Su Yin smiled and handed the phone to Zhang Yiling.

At this time, Lin Xuan'er came back with three large buckets of popcorn in her arms.

In fact, she never had the habit of eating popcorn when watching movies, but after staying with Su Yin for a long time, she found that she actually agreed with this habit. After just arrived at the cinema, she couldn't help but want to buy popcorn.

"Xuan'er! Tangtang! Sister Ruirui! Hello!" Zhang Yiling waved her hand, looking like their little fans: "Long time no see!"

"Good director!" Tang Yue gave her a blowing kiss: "When will I find me to work with?"

Zhang Yiling immediately showed a flattered expression: "As long as you want, you can do it anytime! I'm still worried that you won't come! You will be the heroine at the box office of 10 billion yuan soon!"

"Oh, this is just a false reputation." Tang Yue said modestly: "Xiao Xiaosu didn't cause trouble with you, right?"

"Hey, I'm still listening!" Su Yin straightened her body at this time and said seriously.

If it weren't for the fact that they were about to enter the movie, Lin Xuan'er suspected that Tang Yue and Su Yin could still be so childish and bickering for a few hours.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiling looked at Su Yin with a mysterious look on her face: "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Su Yin asked immediately. According to the original plan, she planned to read the script in this room today and give her body a vacation.

However, when she thought of going out to play, her eyes still cast passion.

"Of course I'm going to watch a movie," Zhang Yiling spread her palms, and it turned out that the mysterious gift she had prepared was it. "Didn't you tell me before that you really want to go and watch it?"

"Where did you get it?" Su Yin looked at the movie ticket, as strange as if she saw gold: "I remember there were only two cinemas in this city, and then each of them did not release "Crane City by the Sea."

This situation also exists, which is very common in some small cities. In order to make money, theater managers often give movies with the most crowded audiences.

"I have found the theater manager and booked the venue. We will watch it when the time comes." Zhang Yiling then whispered in Su Yin's ear: "And I have bought a lot of snacks, which are placed on the front desk of the hotel. We can eat while watching!"

Su Yin's eyes really lit up now, like a giant dragon found a treasure chest.

The two of them took a bus to the theater, then learned from the agents in the movie, cleverly avoided the crowd, and entered the theater through the staff passage in the theater.
