In the next two days, Hu Shuo participated in two road shows in Jiangcheng every day. He would not go to other cities because he had to pick up and drop off Zuo Zuo after all.
In every road show, Hu Shuo has to sing "Exploring Qingshui River". This ditty has become Hu Shuo's repertoire in the "Xihong Shi Fu" road show, so much so that many fans want to hear Hu Shuo live once.
version of "Exploring Qingshui River" and bought high-priced tickets for the "Xihong Shifu" road show from scalpers.
No. 21.
There are still three days left before "Xihong Shi Fu" is released.
However, this morning, the final results of the three-day film schedules of major theaters were released. A total of eleven new films will be released on December 24th. The competition is extremely fierce, and everyone wants to get a piece of the New Year's Day movie.
The eleven films released in the same period can be roughly divided into three groups. The first group is the leading group with a luxurious lineup of large-scale productions, with three films: "Leader of the Martial Arts 3", "Alone in the Lonely City" and "Funny Express".
In fact, "I'm Not an Angel" can be considered a big production in terms of investment scale. After all, the total investment is over 100 million. However, after being screened, the reputation of this film has shown signs of collapse. Major theaters have
None of them are vegetarians. Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible to give "I Am Not an Angel" too high a ranking.
Therefore, "I'm Not an Angel" fell out of the first group and fell into the second group. In the second group, in addition to "I'm Not an Angel", there are also "Xihong Shifu", "White Embroidered Shoes" and "
Zhang Xiaoquan's Big Movie".
Among them, "White Embroidered Shoes" is a horror film with an investment of over 50 million, and it is also the only horror film on the New Year's Day schedule, while "Zhang Xiaoquan's Movie" is a children's film and a relatively well-known one in China.
The movie version of the animated film "Zhang Xiaoquan and Her Friends" is relatively expensive to make, so the investment in this animated film exceeded 50 million.
In fact, judging from the investment scale, "Xihong Shifu" can't even enter the second group, and should be classified into the final third group. However, due to the popularity of "Xihong Shifu", coupled with the original
The unknown male protagonist Hu Shuo suddenly became a topic of conversation, with an artist whose popularity is comparable to that of an A-list star. Therefore, "Xihong Shi Fu" was also classified into the second group, and has already shown its status as a dark horse.
Because, including the three films of the First Group, "Xihong Shi Fu" is the best in terms of reputation.
Each major theater chain schedules films to be released on the same day based on their own assessments.
The final result is that "Alone in the Lonely City" received the highest film scheduling rate of 19%, followed by "Funny Express" at 17% and "Martial Arts Leader 3" at 15%.
These three films from the First Group accounted for a little more than 50% of the total film schedule throughout the day.
The fourth film ranking rate is "I'm Not an Angel" with 11%, followed by "Xihong Shi Fu" with 10%, "Zhang Xiaoquan's Movie" with 8%, and "White Embroidered Shoes" with 7%.
The seven films of the first group and the second group accounted for 87% of the film schedule, and the remaining four small-production films shared the remaining 13%.
And this is just the film scheduling rate on the first day. Each major theater chain will make corresponding adjustments based on the box office and attendance performance after the film is fully released. To put it simply, the film scheduling rate before the film is officially released is the film scheduling rate of each theater chain.
The decision is based on the evaluation of the film's overall strength, but after the film is released, the market will have the final say. After all, no theater chain can't make money!
Unless the producer of the movie has offended a certain theater chain, the other party will not schedule the film, but this situation is still very rare. After all, if there is no deep hatred, no one will have trouble with money!
Just when the filming schedule came out on the 24th, Hu Shuo was on his way to the roadshow.
"Mr. Hu, Wenyu Cinema seems to be very unfavorable about our "Xihong Shi Fu"."
As Hu Shuo's manager, Zhang Ying has been following Hu Shuo on road shows these days. Of course, she mainly wants to communicate with Hu Shuo about work. Recently, Hu Shuo has been busy with the filming of "Xihong Shifu"
The music scene is about to explode because there are so many people queuing up to buy songs, many of them are well-known kings and queens, and some of them found Zhang Ying through connections, so Zhang Ying is really
Some are overwhelmed.
At this time, Zhang Ying frowned and said after carefully looking at the film schedules of "Xihong Shifu" by major theater chains.
"Yeah?"
"Why don't you like it?"
Hu Shuo asked casually.
"Wenyu Cinemas has only allocated 6% of the movie schedule for "Xihong Shifu" in Japan, which is far lower than the average. Moreover, "Xihong Shifu" is released at the same time in all theaters of Wenyu Cinemas
There are almost no "Xihong Shifu" films scheduled during prime time in the morning, noon and midnight screenings!"
Among the complicated film arrangement information, Zhang Ying quickly found something unusual.
“Only 6%, and it’s all midnight and noon shows??”
Hu Shuo was startled. If it was just a small number of films scheduled, it could be understood that the other theater chain did not like "Xihong Shi Fu". This was normal. After all, there were many competitive films in the same period, but with such a low film scheduling rate
Next, they are all scheduled at the worst time slots, which is a bit unjustifiable!
"Wenyu Cinema Line??"
Hu Shuo frowned: "It sounds familiar!"
"Hey, it seems to be the company of that classmate Yun Yan!"
Hu Shuo suddenly remembered Cao Zechu, whom he met at the Langsha Charity Dinner!
"Wenyu Cinemas should be a property of Wenyu Group, right?" Hu Shuo asked.
"Yes, Wenyu Cinema Chain is the second largest theater chain in the country, and it is even larger than our Wanli Pictures!"
Zhang Ying nodded.
"Then the president of Wenyu Group is called Cao Zechu, right?" Hu Shuo asked again.
"Yes, that's him."
Zhang Ying introduced: "He is considered a strongman in the entertainment industry. Since he took over Wenyu Group from his father, he has made some achievements."
Hu Shuo nodded, with a playful smile on his face: "It seems that Cao Zechu has a lot of opinions about me."
On the day of the Langsha Charity Dinner, Hu Shuo vaguely felt that Yang Yunyan, an old classmate, had some thoughts about her. However, Yang Yunyan's attitude was also very clear. She did not give the other party any chance to get close, and even refused the invitation to have a meal.
Based on Cao Zechu's performance that day, combined with the current film schedule of "Xihong Shi Fu" by Wenyu Cinema, Hu Shuo almost had the answer in his mind.
As the second largest theater chain in the country, Wenyu Cinemas made a stumbling block for itself on the release day of "Xihong Shi Fu". Not only did it only schedule 6% of the films, it also placed all the time in non-popular time periods.
This will definitely have an impact on the daily box office performance of "Xihong Shifu". After all, the other party is the second largest theater chain in the country.
Under such circumstances, "Xihong Shifu" can still get a 10% film scheduling rate. In fact, it is completely dependent on the support of Wanli Cinemas. In its own Wanli Cinemas, "Xihong Shifu" has received as high as 20%.
% film scheduling rate, ranking first among all movies released on that day.
It can be said that "Xihong Shifu" is definitely the "son" of Wanli Cinema!
After major theaters confirmed their film schedules, the box office pre-sales for several movie days were also released. As of noon on the 21st, the pre-sales box office of "Leader of the Martial Arts 3" was temporarily leading, followed closely by
"Alone in the Lonely City", ranked third is "Funny Express".
It can be seen from this box office pre-sale that IP sequels with a certain audience base still have some advantages. It is precisely because of this that "Leaders of the Martial Arts 3", which has the third highest film schedule, is leading the pre-sale box office, although this is only temporary.
situation.
Apart from the three films of the First Group, the fourth one in the pre-sale box office is not "I'm Not an Angel" which is the fourth in investment, but "Xihong Shifu" which has a huge reputation after screening. And the excellent box office
Hu Shuo is quite pleased with the pre-sale data, which shows that his efforts during this period have not been in vain.
night.
After Hu Shuo put Zuo Zuo to sleep, he returned to the room.
Yang Yunyan had just finished taking a shower, her head was wet and smelled of a faint fragrance.
"Honey, let me blow your hair~!"
Hu Shuo walked up to Yang Yunyan with a smile.
"Be courteous for nothing..."
Yang Yunyan glanced at Hu Shuo with a smile.
"Look at what you said, I am always attentive every day~!" Hu Shuo smiled, skillfully plugged in the hair dryer, and carefully helped Yang Yunyan blow her hair.
"I watched the news for a while today, and it seems that "Xihong Shi Fu" has the best reputation among all movies in the same period."
Yang Yunyan said with a smile on her face. As the producer and the actor's wife of this film, she is still very proud.
"Well, the reputation of the show is pretty good."
Hu Shuo sighed quietly: "It's a pity that the film scheduling rate is not ideal, especially your old classmate, who seems to have some opinions on my "Xihong Shifu"!"
"You mean Cao Zechu?"
Yang Yunyan frowned slightly: "What's wrong with him?"
"The rehearsal rate of "Xihong Shi Fu" in Wenyu Cinema is only 6%, and it is also during unpopular times, such as 9 a.m. and 11:45 midnight. Well, they are almost all such times, prime time.
There wasn’t even a single filming schedule.”
"ah?"
"Is there really such a thing??" Yang Yunyan was very surprised.
"No."
While caressing Yang Yunyan's long hair, Hu Shuo joked: "I think your old classmate regards me as an imaginary enemy, thinking that without me, you can choose him!"
"What nonsense!"
Yang Yunyan rolled her eyes at Hu Shuo: "Even without you, I wouldn't choose him."
"Then who do you choose??"
Hu Shuo asked smoothly.
“Choose no one!!”
Yang Yunyan said with determination.
"ah?"
"Single forever??" Hu Shuo smiled.
"Waiting for you to show up..."
Perhaps because she saw that Hu Shuo was not in a good mood because of Cao Zechu's incident, Yang Yunyan gave Hu Shuo a rare flirtation.
"Hehe~!"
Hu Shuo had a silly smile on his face, and then exclaimed happily: "As expected, he kissed his wife~!"
