The news that Sanchuan Theater Chain and five other theater chains formed an alliance to reject "Tiny Times" reached Li Youqing's ears smoothly.
Seeing everyone helping to make suggestions, Xiao Nizi felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She even ate less than usual for dinner, only a big bowl.
"Have you encountered anything troublesome?"
Jiang Bei looked at the crotch-stretching look on his wife's face, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth and asked.
Li Youqing let out a long sigh, supported his little head with both hands and replied casually: "Of course it's about the movie. I don't know if "Tiny Times" can be released smoothly this time."
Coming!
Hearing this, the old man looked at Liang Liang calmly. The latter understood, biting the ribs, and complained: "What the hell are you doing? After all, you get the salary, and you don't care whether the movie can be released.
do what?"
"You can't say that. After all, it's the work of my own hard work. If I were to be suppressed like this, I would feel uncomfortable." Xiao Nizi didn't know that her husband and sister-in-law were setting a trap for her, so she sighed.
"I heard that Sanchuan Cinema Chain deliberately suppressed Erjing Film and Television. This time it united with the other five cinema chains to suppress "Tiny Times"." Jiang Bei seemed to have turned into a melon-eater who didn't know anything and started gossiping with his wife.
News inside.
"I don't know the specifics. I just heard from Sister Sui Xi that the reason seemed to be because Erjing Film and Television signed a contract with Xu Hanzhou. Later, when the two parties met for negotiation, the chairman of Erjing Group beat the representative sent by Sanchuan Cinema.
In the end, the relationship between the two parties could not be restored, which led to the subsequent suppression by Sanchuan Cinema."
Speaking of this, Li Youqing couldn't help but complain: "You said the chairman of Erjing Group is the same, such a big shot actually beats people."
"How do you know it's not the representative of the Sanchuan Cinema Line who needs to take care of you?" Liangliang pulled the rice and said vaguely.
"I don't know if the representatives of Sanchuan Cinema need to take action. I only know that Erjing Film and Television is being suppressed by Sanchuan Cinema. Even the release of the movie "Little Times" has been affected."
In fact, Li Youqing doesn't care who gets punished by whom, she just hopes that the movie can be released normally.
"Is the situation serious?" Jiang Bei continued to pretend to be ignorant and asked.
When Li Youqing heard this, his expression gradually became serious, and he nodded and said: "It's quite serious. The six major theater chains account for about 30% of the film market, and most of them are concentrated in first- and second-tier cities. According to Sui Xi
Sister said it will affect at least about 50% of the movie’s box office.”
Market share is not equal to box office ratio.
Most of the cinemas of Sanchuan Cinema Chain and the other five major cinema chains are located in first- and second-tier cities. Compared with third- and fourth-tier cities, the consumption power is much stronger.
For example, cinemas of the same size may have different numbers of moviegoers in different locations.
For example, the average number of moviegoers in movie theaters in third-tier cities is probably only a few or more than a dozen people per movie; but in comparison, the number of moviegoers in movie theaters in first- and second-tier cities is much larger.
So despite the fact that Sanchuan Cinema Chain and the other five major cinema chains only occupy about 30% of the market share, their influence is far more than that.
"Aren't they afraid of losing money if the movie isn't released?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
"Of course I'm not afraid, because the Sanchuan Cinema Line handed over the movie "My College Days" it invested in to the other five major theater chains for distribution. They can directly choose to screen "My College Days" and other movies. As long as there are movies that can be played
, it’s nothing to lose to them.”
"Furthermore, the promotion of "My College Days" is so hot now that half of the directors and artists in the entertainment industry have posted on Weibo to help promote it. Even if there is fair competition, theaters will give most of the scheduled films to them first."
The power of Xuanfa was clearly demonstrated at this moment. No matter how much effort Sanchuan Cinema Line used in the meantime, at least it has taken the lead in this aspect.
On the other hand, except for the first wave of promotional videos and promotional songs for "Tiny Times", there was no further news.
If a movie does not have enough exposure in the early stage of promotion, then unless its reputation explodes, it will definitely not have a high box office.
"This is the entertainment industry, where connections come first!" Liang Liang leaned on the chair and touched her belly, sighing.
Li Youqing was silent when she heard this. After two years of smooth sailing, this was the first time she encountered this kind of internal struggle in the entertainment industry, and she was a little at a loss.
"Since "My College Days" can ask directors and artists to help promote it on Weibo, why can't "Tiny Times" do the same?" Jiang Bei put down his phone and asked curiously.
"It's not that easy. Everyone in the entertainment industry now knows that Sanchuan Cinema is suppressing Erjing Film and Television. Anyone who dares to stand up and support Erjing Film and Television will be banned." Li Youqing sighed and said.
"That's it... Do you want to withdraw the Weibo I just posted?" Jiang Bei picked up his phone again and looked at the Weibo he had just posted, hesitating.
"What did you post?" Li Youqing was shocked. He stood up in a hurry and walked around half the table to his side, picked up his phone and checked it.
When I saw this, I was almost scared to death.
"Ouch...! You stupid fool, how can you be so stupid!"
"I don't want to stand up and support you! I also have millions of fans on Weibo."
"Even if you have tens of millions of fans, you will delete it right away! How could you cheat on your own wife like this?"
"I'm not cheating! And even if I delete it now, I'm afraid it's too late, right? Look at the number of replies below, and I guess some enthusiastic netizens have already taken screenshots."
"It's okay. You can send a statement again later saying that your account has been stolen."
"That won't work. How can I, a man like me, lie?"
"Do you believe that I will kill you right now?"
"..."
The spread of the Internet is so fast. In just a short time, Jiangbei's Weibo post was liked by tens of thousands of people, and the number of comments increased crazily.
As for why it attracted so much attention and comments in an instant, we have to start with this blog post.
At a time when the entire Weibo is flooded with well-known directors and artists who are full of praise for the promotional video of "My College Days" posted on Weibo, Jiangbei Weibo has become a unique clear stream.
Jiangbei: I don’t think it’s good-looking. #《我的universityera》 Promotional video is shocking#
As the first influential blog post to publicly call out "My College Days" as unsightly, the traffic it brought was naturally immeasurable.
"I think Mr. Jiang is right. Judging from the new promotional video, it really doesn't work."
"I heard that it was an abridged version, not as interesting as the unabridged version."
"Finally, there is a public figure who tells the truth. I am disgusted by the flattery of directors and artists in the entertainment industry."
Perhaps it's because major directors and artists in the entertainment industry are touting "My College Days", so many netizens on the Internet have some opinions about the movie, especially after watching the promotional video and feeling it was average.
It even caused a debate about whether it looks good or not.
However, with the public support of many big names in the entertainment industry, "My College Days" has gradually been billed as a profound movie.
If any netizen makes a different sound, they will just slap the label "If you don't think it looks good, it's because you don't understand" on your head. There is no way to refute this, because the "professionals" in the entertainment industry all think it looks good.
This made many netizens feel uncomfortable.
But unfortunately, there are no "professionals" to stand up and speak out, causing everyone to hold back their anger and have nowhere to vent.
So when Jiangbei's blog post was posted, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
It's a pity that this blog post was deleted within ten minutes after it was posted. Immediately afterwards, Jiangbei re-edited a blog post and posted: Weibo was stolen just now. I'm really sorry. I posted it by mistake.
However, netizens did not buy it at all, and the comments below were filled with cheerful replies.
Stir-fried pickled cabbage, chicken and mixed vegetables: Mr. Jiang, you are so funny, your account has been stolen?
Distant distance: Mr. Jiang, if you are threatened, just blink and we will call the police for you.
Mr. Chen’s Miss Qin: Do you believe that the account was stolen? Anyway, I don’t believe it.
Buying a car in installments: Number stolen? Tell Weibo officials and see if they can remove your hot search.
Regardless of whether the account was stolen or not, Jiangbei’s deleted Weibo post actually became a hot search topic.
"What happened? It became a trending search topic in ten minutes?"
Li Youqing felt a little uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, frowning and frantically contacting people to remove the hot search.
The old man didn't care at all and just sat there eating fruit while shouting into the kitchen: "Liangliang, after you wash the dishes, remember to tidy up the garbage. Take it out and throw it away later."
"They ask me to wash the dishes and take out the trash again. Why is it always me!"
The gambling king's voice came from the kitchen.
This is what I asked.
It makes no sense.
Jiang Bei took a bite of the tender Mount Fuji apple, picked up his phone and flipped through it for a while and said: "Honey, there are many netizens who sent private messages asking me if I have been threatened. How should I reply?"
"No need to reply."
"Honey, Weibo's hot search has moved up by another one, and there are a lot of screenshots of my last blog post on it. I'm afraid I can't hide it now."
"I know."
"Then what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a place with good feng shui. I'll bury you there another day! You idiot, I'll fight you!"
