Chapter 552(1/2)
A gamble that went down in film history
As time goes by, the two-month summer vacation is almost halfway over.
Wang Rong is basically satisfied with the box office results of his new film.
Most of his current expectations are on "I'm Not the God of Medicine". As for the movies he directs, as long as he can make money, don't rush into it.
Of course, human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same, and Tian Ou has been very annoyed these days.
"None of the new films by Wang Rong and Feng Ji are as powerful as my "Che King 2"!"
"Therefore, the film schedule of theaters should have been tilted towards "Car King 2" to a greater extent!"
"But this Luo Mo actually stepped in!" Tian Ou was really angry to death.
Neither Wang Rong nor Feng Ji cares about the large-scale screening of "The God of Medicine".
Because the box office of their new films is getting worse and worse, theater chains would have cut their film schedule.
As for who the cut off slices are added to, that's another matter.
It is true that with the large-scale screening of "The God of Medicine", the film schedule of these two directors will definitely be squeezed on a small scale.
But...it doesn't matter!
We are already messing around.
Feng Ji's main theme war movie now grosses millions at the box office a day, and he no longer pays attention to it at all.
Making this movie was originally a task from above and a social responsibility he shouldered.
He has already given a very good answer. Among movies with this theme, the box office can be ranked among the top three.
Moreover, Luo Mo had greeted him in advance. This great figure in the director world also wanted to see what the results of this young man's unbridled ideas would be.
As for Wang Rong, I don’t even care. He is the male lead in “I’m Not the God of Medicine” and he’s also the [executive producer].
Tian Ou: I’m the only one who feels uncomfortable with feelings!
In Tian Ou's eyes, every scene of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" should have belonged to him, to "The King of Cars 2"!
"Luo Mo, you are stealing food from the tiger's mouth!" A director who thought he was a tiger said angrily in his heart.
But just now, he had a phone call with Fang Jie, and the anger in his heart gradually extinguished.
During the call, he kept repeating four words: "Goodbye, Director Fang!"
Fang Jie told Tian Ou to take a longer view.
She smiled and said: "Luo Mo's large-scale screening is actually very risky, very risky. Young people, I guess they are greedy for cheap, thinking that this way, the movie will be able to have thousands or even tens of thousands more shows for no reason.
Here comes the scene schedule."
"But what if the quality of this movie doesn't meet the audience's expectations?"
"Then, the film schedule on the day of his premiere will drop sharply, and the box office will definitely be greatly affected!"
In fact, this is true.
Thousands of screenings are enough for the film's reputation to spread throughout the Internet.
In this way, on the first day of the movie's premiere, we will face the so-called "word-of-mouth trial"!
Originally, this thing would not officially arrive until three days after the movie was released.
Fang Jie's "Adolescence" was directly caused to fall off a cliff due to this [word-of-mouth trial].
For movies of low or medium quality, Luo Mo's operation has no advantages but only disadvantages.
Fang Jie continued: "Originally, the theater might schedule tens of thousands of shows for him on the premiere day, tens of thousands of shows on the second day, and tens of thousands of shows on the third day."
"We won't start to adjust the film schedule until word of mouth has fermented."
"It's better now. Let's start adjusting early."
"So, when the time comes, won't some of the films that were supposed to be given to him be given to you for "Car King 2"?" Fang Jie said eloquently.
"Do the math and see who made the profit."
After Fang Jie mentioned this, Tian Ou realized it!
——I earn it! I earn it!
Due to the extension of "Key", every movie in the "Ten Billion Box Office Plan" can be released for two full months.
Of course I earn it!
In fact, this kind of "large-scale screening" operation really requires the filmmakers to have strong self-confidence before they dare to give it a try.
Even if the movie is of average quality, it will not make any profit.
It must have a high reputation and make everyone want to see it!
How many movies can reach this level in a year?
Sometimes not even one film is released in a year!
Movies like this can be recorded in film history!
——This is a big gamble!
I bet the entire movie’s fortune and life on it!
Tian Ou asked himself, he didn't dare to gamble.
The same goes for Fang Jie.
"Isn't it nice to show it honestly?"
"The fire will still burn when it should be put out, it will still be put out when it should be put out, it's all the same."
"Do you have to play so big and find excitement?"
"Tsk, I really want the box office to be incredible, really want to get 2.8 billion?"
Young man, you are too adventurous.
This is your first live-action movie. Is it necessary to take such a big step and go through such trouble?
Nowadays, there are indeed countless pairs of eyes from the industry staring at Luo Mo and "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
However, since his "popularity" has always been very poor, most of these people are looking forward to seeing his jokes.
Time passed quickly, and July 28th arrived.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine", screening begins!
……..
……..
In the capital, Xu Jinzhu "reluctantly" went out with his mother, Zhao Tong.
Along the way, he kept "complaining" among his classmates.
"My mother must drag me along to watch the screening of "The God of Medicine"."
"I really have no interest in this movie at all. I saw the trailer and thought, tsk, they are selling magic oil!"
After arriving at the cinema, he became more willing.
Because there are a large proportion of women in the crowd next to the ticket issuing machine.
And there are many young girls.
"Just treat it as eye candy." Xu Jinzhu said in his heart.
He is the kind of person who dares to strike up a conversation, but... isn't he here with his mother today?
After queuing up to get the tickets, Xu Jinzhu wanted to buy a cup of Feizhai Happy Water, but his mother said, "What kind of carbonated drink should you drink?" and refused.
"I am 18 years old, don't I even have the right to have a drink?"
"I hate!"
Adults are always like this. When you ask for money, you say you are an adult. When you want to do something they don't allow, you are still an obedient child.
In the end, Xu Jinzhu only got a glass of orange juice mixed with water.
After the two checked in, they sat down in the cinema.
Zhao Tong asked: "Do you know what this movie is about?"
Xu Jinzhu sneered and said: "Vulgar comedy."
In front of his mother, he really couldn't say the words "selling aphrodisiacs".
"Comedies are just comedies, don't add vulgarity!" Zhao Tong glared at him and said, "Xiao Luo's artistic talent is very high when you see it."
The lights in the theater dimmed at this moment.
The movie will start broadcasting soon.
It looked fine from the beginning, but when Luo Yiyi, played by Luo Mo, appeared on the stage, a chorus of surprise rang out in the theater.
