Chapter 2005 Conclusive Evidence
"Shall we stop?"
Located in the best area of the capital, on the top floor of an office building, a man in a suit and leather shoes leaned against his "throne", rubbed the tabletop with his hand, and showed a sarcastic smile.
Standing in front of him was the director of "The Legend of the Whale Sea". The man who used to be so arrogant and domineering in front of the media now seemed a bit humble.
"Stop?" The man lowered his eyelids indifferently: "I spent hundreds of millions to keep the film schedule. If I can't even win the Spring Festival championship, wouldn't I become a joke?"
"But the reputation of "Lotus Lantern" is so good, and the attendance rate is also unparalleled. Anyone who knows the box office knows that according to the current data of "Lotus Lantern", its film schedule will not only surpass us, but at least it will surpass us.
It needs to be evenly matched. But now it is 6% lower than us, and everyone on the Internet is criticizing it.”
"Scold! Could it be that just by scolding them, more films will be scheduled? Don't say I spent money, ask Zhou Yiyang, didn't he also pay the admission fee? It's just that he is a noble man and didn't spend that much.
It’s just money guarantee and film arrangement!”
The man suddenly became a little upset when he thought about this. Zhou Yiyang, who spent less money than himself, now had a smaller and smaller gap in box office with himself, which made him look like a clown more and more.
However, when he thought that his investment in this movie was far less than that of "Lotus Lantern", he relaxed again.
I just used the money for special effects to be used in more practical ways.
"I hope Zhou Yiyang can understand this time that the Spring Festival stall is no longer the time when he first developed it a few years ago. Just relying on word of mouth can determine everything. There is no shortage of things that should be managed."
…
A marketing account broke the news that "The Legend of the Whale" has set up ghost theaters in some cities to ensure box office and attendance, thereby maintaining the false prosperity of being the number one film.
She is not a fool. People who knew "Whale Sea War" were finally not satisfied with building momentum for themselves and began to throw dirty water on their peers.
After looking at the documents placed in front of him, Zhou Yiyang rubbed his brows helplessly.
"I support Brother Yang's decision," Su Yin's eyes lit up: "The other side is so shameless, why should we endure it? And I think Brother Yang may have some back-up plans!"
Ye Kongjing suddenly thought of something: "Before your movie was released, weren't there a lot of marketing accounts that came out to set the pace? From what they said, it seemed like your movie was so bad!"
"I guess they spent money before it was released." Su Yin clicked his tongue: "But they didn't expect that a cartoon that not many people liked would have such a good reputation in the end. It was about to take away the title of box office champion.
Naturally, the people behind me can’t sit still.”
What he didn't expect was that there would be so much news during the Spring Festival, forcing him to end his vacation early and start working.
Su Yin never imagined that the turmoil surrounding the movie would last from the first day of junior high school to the third day of junior high school, and would even get worse.
Su Yin stood up at this time and said to her mother very confidently:
As for the director, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong to Zhou Yiyang.
Anyway, the film schedule is only on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. After that, your "Baolian Lantern" will get a good reputation and make a counterattack at the box office.
On the other end of the phone, Guan Fei's voice was a little hoarse. In the past two days, she had dealt with a lot of work and asked for news everywhere, and she had hardly had much rest.
He paused and then said: "Speaking of which, can't the theaters withdraw those movies that no one is watching? Let them give them to "Lotus Lantern"... Forget it, forget it, the box office champion during the Spring Festival,
It’s still ours.”
"By the way," his eyes changed and suddenly became fierce: "Is the reputation of "Lotus Lantern" too good? This is not normal. How can a movie not have bad reviews? You are in the movie business
, you’ll always find fault, right?”
When the director left the room, his heart ached for at least half a minute. But when he thought about his share of the incident, that little bit of guilt disappeared instantly.
"Basically, I asked. Before the movie was released, "The Whales" signed an agreement with the theater and spent almost 600 million to ensure that during the entire seven-day holiday, they would be ranked first in the film schedule."
"Well, did you find something else?" Zhou Yiyang asked softly.
He once thought that he would just hide in the hotel to relax during the Spring Festival and wait for the box office accounts to be transferred to his wallet.
Ye Kongjing frowned: "What's the point? Aren't the theaters the ones who make money in the end by spending all this money to buy films?"
…
"Good guy," Zhou Yiyang said happily: "So much money? They want to schedule so many movies just for the Spring Festival championship, right?"
"Even if there is this gap in the film lineup, we will definitely be able to counterattack at the box office. By then, "The War of the Whales" will have to lose both my wife and the army!"
"Definitely," Su Yin nodded: "Isn't this the most popular explosion-proof type among fans? In the beginning, our popularity was indeed not high. But they didn't even think of us.
The reputation will be so good, I can’t stop it at all.”
What they want is only the Spring Festival champion, not the annual box office champion.
"Because it's all about money. Judging from today's box office, "Baolian Lantern" is definitely over 300 million, and "Whale Sea" is also firmly over 400 million. The box office is completely focused on this movie, and the subsequent movies have already
Totally left behind. Now both sides are competing for the slots these movies spit out."
"However, the capital behind "War of the Whales" is a bit tough. No matter how the film schedule of "Baolian Lantern" increases, they can maintain a 6% lead."
Su Yin put down her phone, feeling a little unhappy.
"Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yiyang never expected that on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he would be doing work in his room.
Ye Kongjing hummed and said with a smile: "But this time, Mr. Zhou doesn't seem to intend to just let this matter go."
"Why do I feel that now there are more people eating melons than watching movies?"
Soon, many viewers appeared on Douyin and began to criticize the plot of "Lotus Lantern", thinking that it was nonsense, random fabrication, and historical nihilism!
Even Ye Kongjing couldn't help but become curious:
However, compared to the solid evidence that Zhou Yiyang found, the so-called bad reviews of "Whale Sea War" are very clownish in Su Yin's eyes.
"Well, I guess there is some kind of gambling contract, and the requirement is to win the Spring Festival stalls." Guan Fei paused: "Stealing box office, ghost show, spreading rumors about colleagues, and falsifying ratings. I have found all these evidences and are summarizing them now.
"
Zhou Yiyang hummed, not surprised.
Guan Fei can do all this precisely because of Zhou Yiyang behind her.
