Chapter 1234: Opportunity
Prior to this, the promotion of "The Martian" was limited to domestic releases, and there had never been any news of a simultaneous global release. It was overshadowed by "The Martian", which was promoted by Huang's Film Productions and released simultaneously in many countries in Southeast Asia.
At this time, General Manager Feng announced that "The Martian" would be released simultaneously across the country, which immediately stunned all the senior executives of the theater chain.
If they felt for a moment that the news was a little fake, then when they heard the specific schedule mentioned by General Manager Feng, they knew the news was true.
This kind of thing, if you go back and ask someone to check it out, you can tell whether it's real or fake. The other party will never make such a joke.
World premiere, even the most famous director in the Chinese film and television industry, Zhang Mengzhu, doesn’t have such courage and connections!
The European and American markets, in particular, have been a new market that several generations of people in the Chinese film and television industry have been trying to develop. Whenever an unknown movie wins an award at an unknown film festival in Europe or the United States, it can become a sensation when it is reported back to China.
The blue whale is hiding so deeply, it’s about to take off!
Even, I want to fly to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!!!
The theater executives who had been persuaded and were secretly preparing to lower their market share looked at each other and could see the solemnity in their companions' hearts.
Although the other two companies have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, theaters still have to rely on attendance to make money.
If "The Martian" becomes a hit, they will still suppress the other party's screening schedule. Can it be that they are unable to get along with money?
Even if these managers make money secretly, how can they explain to the board of directors?
They have seen the quality of "The Martian" before, and whether it is casting, plot, or special effects, it is indeed better than the other two science fiction films. Coupled with the explosion of its global premiere, it is very likely to become a hit in the domestic summer season.
This is a bit difficult to handle!!!
"An An, I didn't expect the company to get the film schedule from the European and American theater alliance. I haven't heard of the news before."
Wang Xiaoxiao, who was in the corner, also heard the news for the first time and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
With the Chinese sense of honor, if I knew that "The Martian" would premiere simultaneously around the world, I would definitely choose it among the three science fiction movies and go and have a look at it.
No wonder the other two companies continue to increase their investment in publicity, but Brother An is not in a hurry at all. It turns out that they have a back-up plan here.
This is a huge advantage.
"It's all in the company's meeting minutes, but you just don't pay attention to it."
With a smile, Zhou Anan pointed out the reason why Miss Wang was unaware of the situation.
Although Miss Wang has no actual shares in the company, her status is not low. She has sufficient authority to view the meeting minutes of the company's middle-level and above, not to mention Miss Yu, who is a shareholder.
I can only say that the two young ladies don’t care enough about the development of the company on a daily basis.
There is nothing wrong with this reason.
In response to this, Zhou Anan secretly gave herself 365 likes.
"It's okay. I just need to get paid."
Regarding this, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was just getting a salary, didn't care at all.
Zhou Anan did not join in the afternoon tea at the social gatherings of cinema executives. Instead, she took the two young ladies to a newly opened Hong Kong-style tea restaurant to leisurely enjoy the afternoon sun.
On the other hand, Feng Jiming also received the shares given by various cinema chains after the afternoon tea party.
Sure enough, it was 3 percentage points higher than the information he originally received.
The shock of the global release and the quality of the film can only do this.
After all, the Huang brothers and their people do a lot of work.
All in all, "The Martian" had a 25.6% 2D screen share and a 63% 3D screen share in the total screening volume. It also received promises from many theater chain executives to adjust the screening volume at any time, which can be considered a good start.
Most of the rest of the market share is shared by two other competitors.
Among them, Huang's Film Company's "Battle of the Magic City" took the remaining 60%, and Liunian Entertainment's "Guardian of the Earth" took 40%.
The rest of the low-budget movies released during the same period did not even make a fraction of that and can be almost ignored.
"I see."
After receiving a call from General Manager Feng, Zhou Anan briefly told the two young ladies on the other side of the table the result.
Overall, this result was within his expectations.
Originally, he didn't have much hope for these fence-sitter cinema chains, and in the early stages he mainly looked to Qianbao Cinemas and Qingshu Cinemas.
Once the film has established a good reputation, other theaters will naturally follow suit and actively increase the number of screenings they schedule.
Everything is under control.
"So few, those people are really going too far."
After hearing those numbers, Wang Xiaoxiao secretly calculated and found that except for the two large theater chains with which she had long-term cooperation, the rest of the theater chains together only gave less than one-sixth of the screening volume.
It's easy to tell that these cinema chains were bought out by the other two competitors. It's simply abominable.
"It's okay. Once the word-of-mouth effect comes out in the early stage, the number of films will naturally be adjusted."
After watching the finished film today, Zhou Anan, who was very confident, comforted Miss Wang.
"Well, we will definitely beat them to a pulp."
Wang Xiaoxiao, who was also very confident in the films produced by her company, nodded in agreement.
"Master Jing, I heard that Blue Whale Entertainment's movie has already started screenings, and many theater executives have responded very well. Should we do something about it?"
In a luxurious private room of a KTV, Li Wencheng, with his arms around two young models, said to Jing Wuyou beside him with a smile.
"We are planning to go public through a backdoor listing recently, so it's better not to offend that person for now."
Hearing the coal boss's proposal, Jing Wuyou frowned and thought it would be better to be cautious.
Wait until his company successfully goes public through a backdoor listing and his net worth accumulates to tens figures, then we can settle the matter with the other party.
Everything is virtual; only the numbers in the account are real.
"Mr. Jing is too cautious. Don't worry, I'll find someone from abroad to do it. It will definitely not involve us."
Seeing that the young master of the Yu family's side branch was so cautious, Li Wencheng took it over without any hesitation.
He was holding back on the anger in his heart.
What's more, targeting the so-called young man was also the intention of another young master.
Today, he has plenty of money and has several rich young men backing him up, so there is no need for him to worry about that young man from the countryside.
“.”
Seeing the coal boss' indifferent look, Jing Wuyou frowned and said nothing more.
Don't ask what the other party is going to do, just pretend you know nothing. Even if Zhou wants to settle the score later, don't think of involving him.
"Graduation dinner? I won't go."
In the conference room of Qinglan Group's headquarters, Zhou Anan, who had just finished a brief meeting, heard her high school classmates mention a graduation dinner and decisively rejected the invitation.
It's okay to have a meal together during the Chinese New Year, just to maintain our high school friendship. There's nothing good about having too much contact with each other on a regular basis.
Especially since everyone knew that he was worth tens of billions, Zhou Anan felt that if she went, it would easily ruin the atmosphere and turn a good class reunion into a flattery meeting.
He had seen all these inside stories by lurking in the high school classmates’ group chats.
Because part of his identity was exposed, he dived deeper into the TT group.
"Everyone is looking forward to your going. If you don't go, many female classmates will be disappointed."
Wang Rong, dressed in suit trousers and a short-sleeved shirt, smiled and shook the teacup in his hand, looking like a successful entrepreneur.
All of his clothes and accessories were bought by his girlfriend Xu Mengxin, which naturally transformed his taste from that of a student to that of a workplace elite.
"That's fine. I'll go there when the time comes. Who will you take with you?"
Thinking of her status among her high school female classmates, Zhou Anan's mind flashed with that cute girl, and she decided to go.
It’s not good for a man to be too charming. Girls must completely give up their inappropriate thoughts and live their own lives well.
There is no way, a man must be great.
"Of course I am..."
