Chapter 501: Kill together!
Guangxian, especially Zhao Yanzi, were really panicked!
The schedule of "The Year in a Hurry" was carefully determined by them. The first "Fast and Furious 6" was released for one week, and the trend began to slow down, and the second "When a Man Loves" was released eight days later.
Adding all up, "The Year in a Hurry" has about 10 days to eat.
Now it's good, "Tiny Times 1" is a big hit, "Tiny Times 2" is following behind, and the audience is holding on to wait and see.
Unexpectedly, China Film Group suddenly released a movie called "Pacific Rim" at the end of July.
He blocked his way forward and backward.
Guangxian complained to the General Administration, saying that this arrangement of films was extremely detrimental to "The Year in a Hurry".
But what the General Administration is saying is, if you have such a low investment in this film, you still want to choose a release date? Hurry up and make it.
Why don't you go to the National Day show to play "Shendu Dragon King" and "Chinese Partner".
Guangming is even less willing.
The November slot was too deserted, and I didn’t have much confidence in the December Lunar New Year slot, so I could only bite the bullet and play “Pacific Rim”.
Small-budget films and new directors are not eligible to ask for a schedule from the General Administration.
Why did "To Youth" from Original Time and Space become a hit?
First, it’s because of Zhao Yanzi’s own appeal and popularity among the people.
Second, it was "To Youth" that started the era of youth film explosion in mainland China.
Third, it had no rivals in its original schedule.
The rest is the fan base and marketing of the original novel in place.
Now, of these three factors, only the first one is still there, and the other two conditions are extremely unfavorable to "The Year in a Hurry".
The explosion of youth films in the Mainland was started by Yuan Yuan's "Those Years" in 2011. In the past three years, especially the impact of the reputation of "Tiny Times" this year, the audience has gradually become disgusted with the word "youth film".
This is also the reason why Yuan Yuan decided not to make youth films after finishing "My Deskmate" and "My Girlhood" this year.
The advantages of "The Year in a Hurry" are gone.
Let’s talk about the schedule. In the original time and space, the schedule of “Youth” was chosen very well. It will be released on April 26, 2013.
There was no new movie released that week, and there was only one watchable movie that month, "The Croods," and "Iron Man 3" was released on May 1, giving it a two-day monopoly over the May Day holiday.
The above conditions made "To Youth" a success.
But now...
"Pacific Rim" swept the movie theaters when it was released on Wednesday, taking in 42 million.
The box office of "Fast and Furious 6" was directly lowered to less than 5 million that day, and "That Guy in My Body" was beaten by the boss lady to only 1.2 million that day.
It’s still a working day!
Most of the people who came to watch the movie were fans of Liu Yifei.
In terms of fan appeal, no one can compare to Miss Sister now.
At the press conference of "That Year in a Hurry", Zhao Yanzi did not lose at all, saying: "Today's young actresses are indeed very powerful, but I have also been in this industry for so many years, so I can't rely on the experience of some seniors.
It can also teach young people.”
"We didn't have many ways to act in those days, so we had to work hard on our own, with no one to rely on." After she finished, she said jokingly, "Our boss Huang is not from the entertainment industry, so he can't help.
I had too much help, otherwise I could have easily broken into Hollywood."
Nowadays, the little flowers are good at watching and learning. This is called the big flowers.
He almost pointed at Liu Yifei's nose and said, "You have no ability. Your success depends entirely on your husband."
Liu Yifei has never responded to controversy and doubts.
But Zhao Yanzi's words obviously offended fans of Liu Yifei and Cheng Yu'an.
"The grapes are said to be sour if you can't eat them. Who can blame your husband for not being able to help you in the entertainment industry?"
"Haha, if you want to say that you rely on men, do you want me to tell you the story again?" (I really can't type the name, otherwise not only this chapter, but also the book will be lost)
Zhao Yanzi is not afraid of Cheng Yu'an at all, and he is very powerful at long range, but that doesn't mean he should be afraid.
An unknown netizen just said two names to scare her?
If she could really be frightened, she wouldn't be Zhao Yanzi.
But the box office results of "The Year in a Hurry" before her forced her to face up to her opponents.
"That Year in a Hurry" received 23.7 million on its first day, and Zhao Yanzi's appeal is still there.
But "Pacific Rim" still grossed 40 million at the box office that day.
The decrease is almost negligible.
Both films hit new highs on Friday.
"That Year" reported 31 million, and "Pacific Rim" received 57 million.
"Pacific Rim" broke 140 million box office in three days.
"So she can have 50 million?"
"I said don't underestimate her appeal." Cheng Yu'an also said that the two films may compete with each other, but he still made a mistake in judgment and underestimated the appeal of the young lady.
It's really unreasonable, Liu Yifei is really just a tool heroine in the film, but the audience loves to watch her.
Ordinarily, "Pacific Rim" should target male audiences who like mechas and monsters, but judging from the theater attendance, female audiences actually accounted for 45.2% of the movie audience.
Liu Yifei’s female fans are scarier than her male fans!
However, a few days before the release of "Pacific Rim", a lot of dirty information about Liu Yifei suddenly appeared on the Internet.
Since Liu Yifei followed Cheng Yu'an in 2008 when she was 21 years old, in the past five years now, almost no negative information has been exposed about Liu Yifei.
The black material that broke out this time is still the stuff from before 2008.
Including the "thin horse" theory.
Some netizens even said that Liu Yifei had no sense of shame and "favored" Cheng Yu'an just to get into the show.
This amused the fairy fans: "We all know that it was Director Cheng who was pursued by Sissi. Don't today's naval forces even do basic homework? Low-level gangsters are not worth fifty cents."
"Both of them are about to get married. Does it still matter who posted who?"
But in fact, the power of fans is always limited, and the trend of black material on the Internet is getting worse.
Cheng Yu'an had no choice but to take action, but he didn't say anything online.
Instead, he communicated to the other party through Chen Kun: "That's almost it. How do you get your family's money? Do you need me to tell you?"
Chen Kun didn't understand why, Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, just tell her that."
Sure enough, the day after I posted the news, the attacks on Liu Yifei and the smear campaign against "Pacific Rim" on the Internet were mostly reduced.
That is to say, on the first Saturday, the box office of "Pacific Rim" exploded, taking in 140 million yuan that day!
This year's first film with a single-day box office of over 100 million is born!
This result has almost reached the ceiling of the single-day box office of a single film in the current market.
"Pacific Rim" leads the entire market with over 60% of the film schedules in its first week.
"That Year in a Hurry" received 41 million on that day.
Some people are happy and some are sad.
What I am worried about is "The Year in a Hurry", and even more so the "Tiny Times 2", "When a Man Falls in Love" and "One Night Surprise" which will be released later.
The market has been eaten up by "Pacific Rim" and the audience's wallets have been harvested in this way. Do they still have the energy to watch subsequent movies?
As a result, these films have stepped up their pre-release marketing and publicity efforts.
But looking at it from another angle, "Pacific Rim" has completely activated the summer schedule!
Chapter completed!
