Clark sat in his office chair, completely stunned.
After failing in the lawsuit against Fu Song last time and being tricked by the other party, Clark racked his brains to come up with a way to defeat the enemy.
The cost of this method is far beyond people's imagination.
Apart from anything else, the 10,000 3D glasses alone would be a considerable sum of money.
The current 3D technology is not very mature, and the cost of glasses is very high, but for the box office, it is worth it.
The fact was just as he guessed. The pre-sales that were originally suppressed by "Lost on Journey" directly broke through the sky.
Two days ago, he returned to the company headquarters and made a special report on this matter at the general leadership meeting. Some people imitated and learned from his work.
But now...
Not only that, the pre-sale of "Lost on Journey" did not stop after it exceeded 100 million yuan. As of one hour before the release, it was close to 150 million yuan.
And "How to Train Your Dragon" is still hovering around 100 million.
Although many people think that a box office of 100 million is also very good, the pre-sale ranking is not just a ranking.
For example, word of mouth and film scheduling.
When a movie is first released, theaters will schedule screenings based on box office pre-sales.
If a cinema has 10 screening rooms, "Lost on Journey" is 1.5 times the size of "How to Train Your Dragon".
Then this cinema will have 6 halls showing "Lost on Journey" and 4 halls showing "How to Train Your Dragon".
Taking into account other movies, the second place "How to Train Your Dragon" may be reduced to 3.
As a result, the number of screening theaters for both sides was doubled. In addition, there were more viewers in the early stage of the release, so many people who wanted to watch "How to Train Your Dragon" were unable to buy tickets because the theaters were full.
But I'm here now. If I can't watch "How to Train Your Dragon", I can at least watch "Lost on Journey", right?
After all, there are more people who are optimistic about this movie, right?
Clark let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
He originally moved "How to Train Your Dragon" from the Christmas release date to the New Year's Day release date because he couldn't swallow this humiliation, so he confronted "Lost on Journey" head-on and killed it directly.
Looking back now, the clown was actually me.
If being completely suppressed by pre-sales at the box office was a humiliation for Clark, then it was a disaster for Zhou Wei of "Peach Blossoms".
As of now, the pre-sale of "Peach Blossoms" is only 2 million.
Originally, given the type of this drama, although it was destined not to become a big hit, it should have no problem getting 5 million in pre-sales.
But now all the focus has been sucked away by "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Lost on Journey", and its fate can be imagined.
The most disappointing thing is the screening schedule. In the next three days, "Peach Blossoms" will only be shown late at night.
That is from 2 to 4 in the morning.
When Zhou Wei saw this message, he was completely stunned.
At this hellish time, would anyone really go to the cinema to watch a movie?
Of course, "Peach Blossoms" will still have a premiere in some theaters in the early morning of New Year's Day.
Otherwise the film company will not be able to explain it.
It was because of this that Zhou Wei searched five cinemas before finally arriving at the theater showing "Peach Blossoms".
He queued up to buy tickets, and there was a couple in front of him.
"Beautiful lady, two copies of How to Train Your Dragon."
The ticket seller gave a professional smile and said, "Sorry, we're sold out of tickets for How to Train Your Dragon."
"Ah? Sold out? Honey, what should I do? I want to watch it in 3D."
The husband hadn't expected this to happen: "So when is the next one?"
"There are still tickets available for the time period of 2am to 4am."
The husband said to his wife, "How about we wait?"
The wife immediately became unhappy: "You mean we have to wait for two hours?"
Husband: "Uh...how about we watch something else first and then come back to watch How to Train Your Dragon?"
"All right!"
The husband asked the ticket seller, "Which movie has seats available?"
"Oh, there's 'Peach Blossoms', 'After Meeting Her', and 'Six Boys Jumping into the Water'..."
My wife suddenly said, "Wait a minute, why does this movie 'Peach Blossoms' say 2.5D?"
"This movie uses 2.5D special effects. Although 2.5D special effects are not as good as 3D, they are still very cool."
"Honey, I want to watch it in 2.5D."
Seeing the couple enter the screening room after buying tickets, Zhou Wei suddenly felt a little emotional.
Although director Chi Yunping's character is not very good, his vision is impeccable.
A gimmick that you completely dislike can burst out with amazing popularity in the cracks.
Zhou Wei entered the screening room. Actually, he had seen "Peach Blossoms" before, but the feeling of watching it in a cinema was completely different.
He needed to experience it again.
Soon, the movie ended and Zhou Wei came out, with the middle-aged couple still next to him.
Husband: "Wait here for a minute while I go buy tickets for How to Train Your Dragon."
The wife suddenly said, "Wait, did you feel the special effects of the "Peach Blossom" just now?"
"Yes, but not much, like the scene where the hero and heroine play badminton."
The wife was stunned for a long time before she hesitantly said, "So that's the 2.5D special effect?"
"Well, didn't you see the badminton flying right in front of your eyes?"
"In front of my eyes, I felt like my eyeballs were scratched by a stick.
Don’t watch “How to Train Your Dragon”, it’s probably not that good. These foreigners are just using so-called high technology to deceive people.
Go buy two tickets for Lost on Journey. I want to see this."
"Oh well!"
Zhou Wei next to him: "..."
I'm afraid even Clark didn't know that a movie he never took seriously could stab him in the back.
