The entertainment industry has always been the focus of media attention, and "Crazy Racing", which has been in the limelight recently, has naturally attracted countless people's attention.

In particular, news about the box office fraud of this film was revealed on the Internet, which has become the focus of current public opinion.

Although through the public relations efforts of the Zhao family and the Xiao family, many media also sang praises for "Racing", but some media still questioned the abnormality of the movie's box office in news reports.

It's just that due to some factors, many media have not revealed the hidden rules that the entire film industry knows.

But just another post popped up on the Internet, which undoubtedly made many ordinary netizens realize that there were such big loopholes in the box office statistics of the film industry.

"Hey, I'm a filmmaker, and I'd like to share with you what I know."

"Due to the particularity of the industry, various things related to movies will be amplified. Everything in this industry has attracted more people's attention. Every day on the Internet, various people are talking about movies, box office, and more.

Many industry decisions seem to be gradually evolving from the previous "brain-taking" to more scientific and reasonable decisions that require data support. So, are the data related to movies and box office that everyone thinks are important really so important?"

"In the past two days, a certain movie has been constantly announcing how true their box office data is and how awesome their film schedule is. Then the final conclusion is that the box office of this movie is naturally also very awesome!"

"But I want to tell everyone that in fact these are all false and used to deceive people!"

"In fact, neither the film schedule nor the attendance rate is that reliable. Only the number of moviegoers is the real basis for reflecting the box office data of a movie, and the others can only be used as reference factors."

"The film schedule can be faked, the attendance rate can be faked, but the number of moviegoers cannot be faked!"

"Only attendance is the core element for analyzing all data in a theater, and only attendance is the starting point for all work in a theater. The reason why attendance is important is because all income of a theater is brought by people, so of course the theater's work should mainly focus on

It is carried out by increasing the number of visitors. In the same way, the starting point for analyzing all the data generated by the theater is based on the number of visitors."

"So, attendance rate and film schedule rate are just clouds, and the number of moviegoers is the hard indicator."

"But as far as I know, based on the actual number of moviegoers of "Crazy Race", the movie's single-day box office performance will never exceed 100 million. Obviously there is a lot of moisture in it."

.......

This netizen proudly posted on the Internet, as an industry insider, to propose a novel movie box office measurement index to all ordinary netizens.

Number of moviegoers!

This word immediately brightened the eyes of all netizens, and also attracted the attention of many media. At this time, they could no longer bury their heads in the sand like ostriches and pretend not to know anything, because when this post was exposed to the film industry

Soon after, a respected film industry veteran spoke highly of the post in public.

"I have read this post online. It is of a very high level and I am not talking nonsense. The number of movie viewers is indeed a hard indicator for measuring the box office of a movie."

This person is clearly Mr. Tao.

Chairman of the Jury of the China Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee.

President of China Film Association.

Deputy Director of the Broadcasting News Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Culture of China.

These two names alone are enough to prove Mr. Tao's status and weight in the Chinese film industry. Naturally, no media can ignore what he said.

Now Mr. Tao suddenly likes a popular post on the Internet. What does this mean? It is very interesting.

Suddenly, there was an undercurrent in China's local film industry, and various film companies couldn't help but ask each other what was going on? Why would Mr. Tao suddenly say such a thing? Is it possible to target "Crazy Racing"?

This movie?

It is not a secret in the industry that there are tricks in the box office of movies. It can be called a 'tradition'.

Over the years, both the government and the film association have tried every means to rectify this phenomenon of box office fraud, but they have been unable to put an end to it. After all, it is not illegal.

Moreover, in the past, various film companies did not go too far, so everyone basically turned a blind eye.

It's just that this time "Crazy Racing" is indeed a bit too exaggerated.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that there is a lot of moisture in these box office statistics.

But now Mr. Tao's meaningful speech in public has immediately made all the local film practitioners think about it, as if something big is about to happen.

That's not all.

The next day, several more respected senior figures in the Chinese film industry showed up one after another. The local film industry must resist the unhealthy trend of box office fraud. The success of domestic films should not be based on the success achieved through such fraud.

Dean Li of the Yanjing Film Academy is also among this group of seniors. The seniors who have stood up to criticize box office fraud are all elderly seniors in the Chinese film industry. As the traditional older generation of filmmakers,

I completely hate the various bad habits and ugly phenomena that have appeared in the film industry in the new century, and naturally do not want to see such a situation occur.

So many film veterans showed up to criticize and boycott box office fraud, as if they were rehearsed, and they were like bombs in the film industry, shocking everyone.

It seems this time is no small matter.

Something big and unknown is definitely going to happen.

Victory Pictures.

Zhao Jianfeng saw the sudden change in the situation. He had used the family's efforts behind the scenes and the media to gradually calm down the heat caused by the box office fraud incident. But now Mr. Tao suddenly came forward and then attracted a large group of old men. This was no longer something the media wanted to suppress.

Something that can be suppressed.

Not even the Zhao family can.

What's more, the Zhao family's home base was not in the film industry, so they seemed helpless when faced with such an unexpected incident.

When Xiao Bufan saw this situation, he was also panicked and couldn't believe it.

He just wanted to teach Yang Ming a small lesson and give him a blow, but why did he create such a big scene?

This was not the result he wanted, it was beyond his capabilities.

Zhao Jianfeng didn't give Xiao Bufan a good look at all. When the critical moment came, the guy didn't pay any attention and wanted to leave. He wanted to shoot this guy to death.

No wonder Ming Jing ran away from Xiao's movie without any hesitation. Xiao Bufan was so irresponsible and made his subordinates the scapegoat whenever something went wrong. Who would want to work under him?

No matter what, Zhao Jianfeng still had to bite the bullet and try to solve the problem.

Through his family's connections in Yanjing, he looked for someone to communicate with Mr. Tao, hoping that the big issues would be reduced to trivial matters, and that the other party would be able to let Victory Pictures go this time.

After all, "Racing" is one of the rare Chinese-language films that has succeeded in the foreign film market in recent years.

It's a pity that Mr. Tao didn't give Zhao Jianfeng any reply, which made him almost grit his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

The film industry is not a business circle that the Zhao family is familiar with, and the formulation of various rules is in the hands of others.

In Yanjing, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television did not seem harmonious. Several people had angry looks on their faces and were talking about something.

"I don't agree. Although the box office of "Crazy Race" is abnormal, we cannot deny the success of this movie abroad. If we make a decision to deal with "Crazy Race" at this time, it will be like fighting in the past, when soldiers rushed out.

What’s the difference if we kill the enemy in formation and we hold back from behind?”

A middle-aged man with a big belly said it confidently with an unhappy expression.

His words made many people in the conference room look quite ugly. This guy's metaphor was really vicious.

If he had been worried about something from time to time, he would probably have blurted out the word 'treacherous minister' in this guy's mouth a long time ago.

But thinking about the current situation, it is indeed a bit similar.

"Racing" performed very well this time in both the domestic and foreign film markets. In the American film market, it even outperformed Hollywood's much-anticipated "Speed ​​​​Drift" and is now firmly on the box office rankings.

He kept that Hollywood blockbuster under him.

This has brightened the eyes of many filmmakers who have heard the name "Yang Ming" too much in recent years. They naturally hope that more classic Chinese-language films will appear in the international film market and compete for the sky of Chinese-language films.

The pot-bellied middle-aged man saw the changes in the expressions of everyone in the conference room, and a trace of amusement flashed deep in his eyes. He had a certain relationship with the Zhao family. The people from the Zhao family came to him yesterday, hoping that the government would let this incident go.

And he promised not to do it again in the future, plus some other costs, so he would support "Crazy Racing" in the conference room.

In fact, this is not a big deal in his opinion.

Box office fraud has occurred all year round. None of the domestic film companies have done anything to manipulate the box office before. Although "Crazy Race" went too far this time, it is not like this.

The atmosphere in the conference room was quite dull. At this time, everyone couldn't help but look at Mr. Tao.

Tao Lao has an unshakable status and voice in the domestic film industry.

Moreover, this time it was proposed that "Racing" should be severely punished to purify all kinds of chaos in the film industry, which was what Mr. Tao insisted on.

"Mr. Tao, can you tell me your opinion?" At this time, Zheng Liqiang, who was sitting in the middle and was the director of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, saw that the matter was frozen and controversial, so he couldn't help but look at Mr. Tao.

Mr. Tao seemed to have expected the situation before him. He rolled his eyelids twice and glanced at the middle-aged man who had just spoken. A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "In

I would like to express my opinion. First, I would like to ask everyone to take a look at some statistics!"

After saying this, he asked his secretary to distribute documents to everyone in the conference room.

When the pot-bellied middle-aged man heard this, his face could not help but darken, and he felt a little bad. It seemed that the old man had been prepared for it.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.

He quickly picked up the document that had just been sent to him and read it.

"Movie box office statistics of the Chinese film industry in the past ten years."

Seeing this document, not only him, but even Zheng Liqiang was puzzled. I wonder what the significance of Mr. Tao bringing out such a document is? What does it have to do with the matters discussed today?

"In 1998, the total local box office was 12 billion Chinese yuan; in 1999, the total local box office was 21 billion Chinese yuan; in 2000, the total local box office was 36 billion Chinese yuan."

"Last year, that is, in 2004, the total box office of local movies reached 86 billion yuan. Our country's film industry is only one step away from breaking through 100 billion yuan. And based on this year's movie box office situation, if nothing unexpected happens, this year

Totally achievable!”

Mr. Tao listed the total box office statistics of China's movies in the past ten years one by one. This did not help everyone present to clear up their doubts, but instead deepened their doubts.
