Chapter 888 If we can’t win, we will…

After seeing the hot search, the fans burst into great enthusiasm and sold out the pre-sale tickets for "Roman Holiday" in an instant.

The pre-sale box office of this movie has reached an astonishing 300 million, and this is the second day of the movie’s release!

If this trend continues, Lin Fan's new movie will undoubtedly become the dark horse of the Valentine's Day season - no, it is already a dark horse!

Because the screening schedule of this movie is really low, compared with the screening schedule of Lin Fan’s first two movies, it is simply outrageously low.

So many fans who couldn't get advance tickets took to the ticketing websites to curse the major cinema chains: Why didn't you schedule more screenings for such a good movie? Don't you know how to make money?

The theaters also have a hard time saying this. Lin Fan's movie was originally added at the last minute, and the current screening rate is already a sign of great respect from the major theaters.

If this movie is not produced by Lin Fan, let alone 6% of the screenings, you may not even be able to squeeze into the Valentine's Day schedule, so just wait until the Spring Festival is over! But fans don't care about these, they just think that this movie is good, Lin Fan has created a very classic screen image for Xia Yan, and there is also the gimmick of the Bolai royal family lending the heirloom jewels. By the way, the royal family also admitted that this movie was Lin Fan's gift to Princess Mia for her return to the royal family.

Are you stupid not to schedule more screenings for a movie with good quality, good acting skills and plenty of gimmicks? The major cinema chains are certainly not stupid. On the surface, they can’t spare more screenings, but they secretly cut the screenings of other movies with less successful box office performances and used them for Roman Holiday. Who would find out? Even if the film crew found out, what would happen? In the face of interests, friendships have to take a back seat.

This kind of thing is normal in this circle. If your movie has such momentum in the future, I will do the same for you! As for Shengxia Cinema, which had left a way out for itself early on, it became the biggest winner: it openly gave the screenings of other movies to Lin Fan, making money openly, flattering him, and not offending other film crews.

As for the crews who signed the box office competition contract like Lin Fan, they are not without any benefits. At least they can still tie up with Lin Fan to get some popularity before the film schedule is snapped up.

As long as you can get enough popularity, you can still make money.

These crews got together and decided to hype up the box office competition, but they didn't want to compete with Lin Fan, but to play with his sympathy.

Anyway, I am really miserable. This PK has just started and I am doomed to fail.

Almost overnight, the entire Internet was filled with news headlines like this: "The most unsuspenseful box office competition in history, "Roman Holiday" crushes "The Journey of Love"!"

"The director of "Magical Boy" regrets: I shouldn't have participated in any PK activities involving Lin Fan!"

"The pre-sale box office of Roman Holiday has exceeded 300 million, while the box office target of Stranger in the Morgue is only 300 million"

…

I have to say, this is really tragic. Although it's not to the point where anyone can feel sad or cry, it has attracted many passers-by to go into the cinema to see what kind of movie this miserable crew can make.

The movie also took the opportunity to gain a group of fans, and its box office performance improved a lot, which can be said to have achieved the purpose of selling misery.

On the contrary, other film crews that did not participate in the box office competition lost a lot of popularity and attention, and their box office results were obviously affected.

"This is really weird, is this Lin Fan poisonous? Why is it that every time they encounter this guy, netizens seem to only see Lin Fan's movies? Now it's even more outrageous, even this kind of movie that plays on misery and rides on popularity has better box office results than ours!"

There are many film crews who want to take advantage of the last wave of popularity on Valentine's Day, the last train of the Spring Festival.

Some movies are of good quality, have big-name actors, and have logical scripts, but for various reasons, they were not released during the seven-day holiday from the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but were instead scheduled for Valentine's Day. Each of these movies has its own considerations.

Maybe they want to avoid the competition of New Year blockbusters, or they want to reduce the pressure of competition, or the plot of the movie requires it... and so on. In short, they choose the Valentine's Day period, at least they are confident that they can achieve better results during this period.

But Lin Fan suddenly appeared, with tens of billions of plug-ins, and directly snatched away the largest batch of traffic in the market! The remaining small amount of traffic and popularity was divided up by several other crews participating in the box office competition, and the rest was what other crews could snatch.

This is much less than expected!

If this trend continues, our own movies will be a failure!

"How about we set the pace and blackmail Lin Fan?" someone suggested.

Someone directly responded: "What rhythm? How to criticize? Can you tell me what Lin Fan's black spots are?"

Lin Fan is so popular and famous nowadays, blocking the way of so many people and stealing the limelight of so many people, but there is very little negative information about Lin Fan on the Internet. Why is that? Is it because they don’t like him?

Bah! Who doesn't want to blacken Lin Fan now?

The key is who can find some dirty laundry on Lin Fan? When working, this guy Lin Fan is either hiding in his own variety show or in his own crew. The only actress he comes into contact with on the set is his wife! It makes people want to maliciously edit and create a "moonlight script" incident for Lin Fan, but there is no material!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It was even more outrageous when he was not working. Lin Fan moved directly into Xia Yan's house, not going out during the day, not going out at night, and even the paparazzi couldn't find him. How could people criticize him? Two years ago, people could criticize Lin Fan for opening a B&B that only accommodated single girls, saying that he had bad intentions and was harboring evil intentions, and they could also criticize that the B&B room prices were too expensive.

But now that homestay is not open to the public, and has become the filming location of the popular variety show "Longing for the Courtyard". Not to mention the room rate of more than a thousand, even if you add another zero, there are still many people who want to stay for a night and experience Lin Fan's happiness.

There is nothing left to criticize him, let alone his rivals or paparazzi. Even Lin Fan’s biggest hater hasn’t shown up online for a long time. Who else can criticize him?

The sun, right? "Can we make fun of the story between Lin Fan and Princess Mia? How did these two know each other? Isn't it just a plot at the beginning, and we have to make up the rest?"

Others looked at him like he was a fool: "The royal family even lent such important jewelry to Lin Fan, and also admitted that this movie was related to their princess's return. You use this to slander me?"

Diplomatic warning, dear!

The man was scared: "This won't work, that won't work, let's just wait to die? I don't know why this Lin Fan is so weird, whoever touches him will die!"

Everyone looked at each other, then sighed: "If we can't win, then we will..."
