Chapter 875 Hello Uncle Xia, I wish you a happy new year in advance!
Yang Hongxia's guess was correct. The ones who deliberately found people to lead the rhythm were the other crews who had signed box office PK contracts with Tao Zheng.
These crews have one thing in common, that is, there are many popular stars in the leading team. Their acting skills are average, but their popularity is relatively high.
The crew let in so much traffic, and also wanted to rely on the fan appeal of this traffic to carve out a path in the Spring Festival period and sell more tickets.
Simply put, it's about making money.
There are many such crews every year, and the Spring Festival period is also a period full of bad movies. But so what if there are bad movies? For some unscrupulous capital, making money is enough.
The addition of traffic can make the movie more profitable, and capital will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
This year, the plan was to release the film during the Spring Festival as usual, and everyone would just sit back and wait to count the money.
Who would have thought that Lin Fan would suddenly appear and start competing with everyone for the screening schedule! Tao Zheng, the old fox, was no pushover either. He pretended to be embarrassed and coaxed these crews into signing some kind of box office PK contract with him, using the screening rate as a prize, calling it fair competition.
Fair as hell, how can this be fair? What kind of box office dark horse is Lin Fan? Don't you have any idea of this? A Chinese Ghost Story has defeated other big productions with over 1 billion yuan investment. How can a lousy movie like this compete with Lin Fan?
But I can’t not sign it.
If he doesn't sign, Tao Zheng will have a reason to openly favor Lin Fan and tilt the screening rate in his favor, and he will still be the one who suffers.
The screening rate will be snatched away regardless of whether it is horizontal or vertical, sign it!
Sign it first! In any case, by signing this PK contract, at least in the first two weeks of the movie's release, you can still get a relatively good initial screening rate.
Otherwise, Tao Zheng would just take out a scheduling contract without any guarantees, and he would still have to sign it?
Moreover, signing the PK contract is not completely without benefits. At least it can take advantage of Lin Fan's popularity. Even if the screenings of his own film are snapped up after two weeks, he should have earned enough by marketing it together with Lin Fan's new film in these two weeks.
I can accept this matter rationally, but I still feel a sense of uneasiness in my heart.
It was really unpleasant to wait for a crushing defeat before the PK even started, so they decided to cause some trouble for Lin Fan.
Besides, what if Lin Fan fails? Right?
No one knows who will win until the end.
These crews all had beautiful ideas, but unfortunately the reality is always more beautiful. The water army failed to bring up the rhythm of Lin Fan, but was instead led by Wang Lingli.
[I feel like the male god has wifi on him: Yes, the filming went smoothly, and the review went smoothly. Doesn’t this just prove that this movie has no flaws and fully meets the standards of the Chinese review system? ]
[You're so blind, you hit my heart: I'm really curious why you're focusing on this. Shouldn't my first reaction after hearing this news be to grab tickets? Anyway, I've already grabbed the advance tickets, and I'm just waiting for the movie to be released on Valentine's Day! ]
[Spherical shape is also a body shape: Brother Fan’s movie, sisters, there is Brother Fan’s new movie to watch right after the Chinese New Year. Brother Fan, the lazy guy, is back in business! ]
…
Seeing that the momentum of public opinion on the Internet was slowly being reversed, Yang Hongxia also took the opportunity to reveal the "inside story" of the "box office PK", laying a small foundation and waiting for the right opportunity to make a big move.
[Earthling Studio: Let me tell you a little secret. Watch Brother Fan’s new movie on Valentine’s Day and you’ll get a surprise! ]
surprise!
The fans were all very happy. Lin Fan's sudden announcement of the new movie release date was already a huge surprise, and now the studio revealed that there would be another surprise on the premiere day, making the fans who originally planned to watch the premiere on that day want to buy a few more tickets.
What if the surprise is drawn from these movie tickets, right?
It’s better to buy a few more tickets just in case. You may not need so many tickets by yourself, and you can give them to others. Just keep the ticket stub or purchase record.
If not, just think of it as supporting a new general movie. It's rare for this lazy guy to take the initiative to do business, so we must not dampen his enthusiasm.
Wang Lingli invited many of her sisters to watch a movie together. Of course, Wang Lingli had already given full authority to her eldest brother, second brother, three cousins, four cousins, and five, six, seven, or eight cousins to grab tickets for the premiere.
Otherwise, with my seemingly cursed luck, I probably wouldn't be able to get a spot in the premiere.
At the same time, Wang Lingli also tagged Yu Mengmeng:
[Born to be Entertainment Reporter: Little rich lady, Brother Fan’s new movie will be released on Valentine’s Day, so are you still going to that ceremony? By the way, when is the ceremony? ]
[Meng Meng Rabbit: I was just about to say that, it’s on Valentine’s Day! ]
[Bare-handed Durian Splitting: Mengmeng, are you still going? I feel like Fanfan will be holding a premiere for his new movie that day. If you go to the ceremony, won’t you be unable to attend the premiere? ]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[Auntie: I don’t think so. It’s hard to say what kind of personality Fanfan has. If Fanfan did something like giving up the premiere of a movie, I don’t think I’d be surprised at all. After all, Fanfan values friendship more than fame and fortune.]
Yu Mengmeng looked at the group, where everyone was discussing whether Lin Fan would attend the premiere or go to the lively ceremony abroad, and she fell into deep thought.
Yu Mengmeng couldn’t make up her mind whether it was a premiere or a ceremony.
…
Xia family.
When Xia Shaozhang got home from get off work, he unexpectedly found his wife busy in the kitchen. This surprised Xia Shaozhang: "What day is today? Why did you think of cooking?"
Normally, Xia Yan's mother seldom cooks. One reason is that her cooking skills are very average, and she only has one or two specialties that are pretty good, but we can't eat those one or two dishes every day.
Secondly, Xia Shaozhang felt sorry for her and didn't want her to roughen her piano-playing hands because of cooking.
Thirdly, the family has money to hire someone to cook, so why do you have to make it difficult for yourself to cook?
However, on some special days, such as traditional festivals like the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as wedding anniversaries, birthdays of both parties, Xia Shaozhang and Xia Yan's mother are still willing to prepare a loving dinner by themselves to celebrate.
But today, Xia Shaozhang remembered, there didn't seem to be anything special, right? Xia Yan's mother brought the dishes to the dining room, and before she had time to say anything, she heard the doorbell ring: "Are you here already? Shaozhang, open the door!"
Xia Shaozhang opened the door with a puzzled look on his face, and saw Lin Fan's big face in front of him, showing a particularly dazzling smile: "Hello, Uncle Xia, I wish you a happy new year in advance!"
Xia Shaozhang: ...Happy New Year to you, Peach! It turns out that you are the one who ordered my wife to cook for you!
