Seeing such achievements and such responses, Eggplant and his programmers couldn't help crying with excitement.

Fortunately, they did not give up!
Hard work always pays off, and now, their moment of victory has finally arrived.

Of course, thanking Su Chen is their routine.

If Su Chen hadn't joined halfway, they might have all gone their separate ways.

Just when Su Chen's name almost dominated the screen of the network.

At this time, the news that the two movies were finalized attracted the attention of netizens.

"The movies "Return to Earth" and "Magic Fortress" are also scheduled for April Fool's Day!"

At this moment, the enthusiasm of netizens from all walks of life was suddenly ignited.

You know, the early publicity of these two movies can be said to be overwhelming, and everyone has been looking forward to these two movies for a long time.

Now that it is finally about to be released, netizens have excitedly started various discussions around these two films.

"Return to Earth, I will buy a ticket just for Smith's name!"

"Smith's films have always been a guarantee of quality!"

"This time, the Smiths and their sons are playing at the same time! It's very exciting!"

"Hollywood special effects, coupled with the family relationship between Smith and his son, the movie is probably very exciting."

"It can be regarded as a family movie! In this movie, the father and son are the protagonists."

"A big production with an investment of 1.3 million knives should not disappoint us!"

"..."

The popularity of "Magic City Fortress" among netizens is even more enthusiastic.

"Brother Lu Han has finally released a new movie! I'm so eager to see it!"

"Lu Han and Shu Qi, are siblings popular now? But I like it!"

"A big sci-fi production with an investment of 3.6 million yuan! I'm so looking forward to it, I hope there will be more sci-fi films in domestic films!"

"This movie chose to be released at the same time as "Return to Earth". Is it to mention our China's glory?"

"Perhaps, this movie can become the face of Chinese science fiction movies!"

"..."

On the Internet, discussions about these two films have been in full swing since the beginning.

However, when Su Chen saw the news, he just took it lightly.

After all, Su Chen knew the quality of these two movies.There should be no change because of time and space.

Su Chen concentrated his thoughts on the post-editing work of "Huaxia Partner".

A week later, Su Chen completed all the post-production of the film efficiently as usual.

There's no way, during the pre-shooting period, Su Chen had already started editing at the same time.

Now it's just to connect the whole movie and add a little special effect to beautify it.

If it wasn't for Su Chen's constant improvement, it could actually be faster.

"Xiaochen, what time do you think is suitable for the release?"

Looking at the finished movie in front of him, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun didn't have any surprises. This is Su Chen's speed, they are used to it, so Zhong Jun directly asked the key points.

Su Chen: "I think it will be released on April Fool's Day."

One is that the time node is more meaningful, and the other is that none of the movies in the same period can be played, so it is easier to get results this way.

Without too much hesitation, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun agreed to Su Chen's proposal.

Although let's just say, there will be a Hollywood blockbuster released at the same time this time, but they have a kind of confidence in Su Chen. No matter what opponent they encounter, Su Chen's movie will have the power to fight.

Besides, the film market is not yours, no matter what the schedule is, there will be competition.

Will Su Chen's movies be afraid of competing with others?
Therefore, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately contacted the major theaters to hold a "Huaxia Partner" viewing session.

After watching this movie.

The response from major theaters has been quite good.

They all expressed their willingness to give Su Chen about 30% of the film schedule.

The quality of this movie was already excellent, and with Su Chen's golden signature that swept the Hundred Flowers Awards before, it was quite a standard operation to give 30.00% of the film.

However, there are two theaters that are exceptions.

That is Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe, they are only willing to arrange about 10% of Su Chen's films.

It doesn't matter to Su Chen, if a movie is destined to be a hit, if it is not scheduled, it will be the theater's own loss.

Su Chen will not have any psychological burden.

But Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun tasted a different taste from it.

There is no doubt that this is the suppression of Liu Rong, chairman of Dadi Cinemas, and Wu Kebo, chairman of Chengtian Jiahe.

The same is true.

The business representatives of Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe received special attention from their chairman before they came, saying that they must only give Xingyi a low-ranking movie.

So there is this result.

To be honest, facing such a situation, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were a little annoyed.

Not to mention Liu Rong, it's fine if he doesn't want to transfer the Kyoto branch of Dadi Cinemas, but it's unbearable to suppress Xingyi in turn.

Wu Kebo moved the Zhong brothers' nerves even more.

The mainstay of Wang Jinhua and Xingyi in the past was to join Chengtian Jiahe. This matter has already passed, and Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun don't want to mention it anymore.

But now, Wu Kebo sees that Xingyi wants to expand the territory of the theater chain, and jumps out to make troubles, which makes Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun very uncomfortable.

Even more irritating.

How much to arrange films is the theater's own business, and they have no control over them at all.

It is as much as others give you.

Alas, this also makes Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun more urgent to expand the territory of the theater chain.

Xiao Chen is right!

The strength of his theater chain is not good, not only earning less than half of the money, but also easy to get stuck.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Or, this is what Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe intentionally did.

soon.

The news that Dadi Cinemas and Cheng Tian Jiahe gave Su Chen's new movie "Huaxia Partners" a super-low ranking was exposed on the Internet.

For this news, people from all walks of life have made various interpretations.

Well-informed people analyzed the whole story of the grievances between Xingyi Media and Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe, and believed that the two theaters gave Su Chen's new movie such a low schedule to deliberately suppress Xingyi.

This view, of course, won the support of Su Chen's fans.They replied and forwarded it one after another, expressing strong condemnation to Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe.

"Too disrespectful of martial arts! Strongly condemn!"

"Look! Shi Chang will teach them how to be human!"

"Brother Chen's movie has such a high box office, and if you give such a low ranking, you will lose yourself!"

"Personal revenge, such a thing can be done, it's too tasteless!"

"..."

at the same time.

Others think so.

It was Su Chen's films that were not good enough, and the major theaters had disagreements on the film schedule.

This point of view has won the strong support of fans of various stars.

"Of course! Su Chen has only made a few movies!"

"The success of one movie can only be said to be Su Chen's fluke success! It's hard to say what the second movie will be like!"

"So some people didn't buy it before! Don't think that everything will be fine if you win the Hundred Flowers Award!"

"Shut up for Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe!"

"Look, "Return to Earth" and "Magic City Fortress" will teach Su Chen to be a man!"

"This time, Su Chen will definitely reveal her true colors!"

"Su Chen, go back and shoot your TV, what kind of movie should you make!"

"Just wait and see the April Fool's Day joke!"

"..."

In such an argument, time passes.

Soon came the week before the release.

The production team of "Return to Earth" personally came to China Roadshow to promote.

The members, of course, also include the starring Smith and his son.

This immediately detonated the entire network.

Netizens from all walks of life flock to Smith and his son.

On this day, at Kyoto Station, the first stop of "Return to Earth" in China.The whole square is full of people.

"Smith! My god!"

"Oh, it's an honor to come here to promote it in person!"

"..."

Fans really did not expect that Smith and his son would come to China to promote in person, which is unprecedented.

What surprised fans even more.

The whole team is very friendly to the fans, and the Smiths tried their best to meet all the fans' requests for autographs and group photos.

Of course, entertainment reporters will not miss such an explosive subject.

"Dear Mr. Smith, this is your first time to promote a movie in China, how do you feel?"

"Are our Huaxia fans good?"

"Do you have confidence in our Huaxia box office market?"

"Mr. Smith, how would you rate your son's performance in the film?"

"..."

All kinds of questions were thrown out in one go.

To the satisfaction of the entertainment reporters, the Smiths answered all the reporters' questions without putting on airs.

This made these entertainment reporters feel a little flattered.

To be honest, there are very few international superstars who can be so down-to-earth and close to the people.

And the publicity at the Kyoto station is just a microcosm of "Return to Earth"'s trip to China.

At every stop of the promotional campaign, the Smiths carried that attitude.

This kind of dedication has also received an extremely enthusiastic response.

Every time Smith and his son make an appearance, the scene is full of fans and extremely hot.

Seeing such a good publicity effect, Smith and his son finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Fans of Huaxia may not have noticed.

The movie "Return to Earth" has been released in Ugly Country for nearly a month, and its box office revenue is only a measly 6000 million dollars. However, the investment cost of this movie has reached 1.3 million dollars, which can already be described as a blood rush.

So at this time, China's box office market has become the key to the movie's return to blood and counterattack. Therefore, the Smiths and his sons can't help but work hard to promote it.

Now it seems that this movie should be able to get a good profit in the Chinese film market, right?

The Smiths are full of expectations for the future.

Simultaneously.

The production team of "Magic City Fortress" is not idle either.

Running road shows and so on are all routines, not enough to show that they are different.

The production side specially arranged for Lu Han, the male number one in the movie, who is in charge of traffic, to fly to Old Trafford, the home of the Red Devils, to play football with a group of Red Devils stars.

This wave of operations immediately caused a sensation.

You know, Lu Han was originally the image ambassador of the Red Devils in Asia, and his popularity is still very high.

Although it was only a training match, it also aroused enthusiastic crowds in the local area.

"Lu Han, I love tiger oil! You are finally here again!"

"So handsome!"

"Thank you for promoting the Asia-Pacific market for us!"

"..."

Some of Lu Han's die-hard fans even live-streamed this training match on the Internet through their mobile phones.

All of a sudden, the domestic deer fans had an orgasm.

"So handsome! The most handsome actor I've ever seen!"

"In front of my brother, Su Chen is just a younger brother!"

"I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to playing football, my brother is definitely the strongest star in the entertainment industry!"

"Su Chen, come and play football with our brother if you are capable, and I promise to torture you to death!"

"Everyone remember to go to the cinema to see my brother in a few days!"

"We still owe my brother a movie ticket!"

"..."

With the support of all forces, the entry "Lu Han appeared at Old Trafford!" rushed to No.1 in the hot search lists!
During halftime.

Seeing such a result, Lu Han couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

To be honest, Lu Han has been holding back this breath for a long time.

Release a new song, be suppressed by Su Chen, play basketball, be suppressed by Su Chen.

This time, my own movie should be able to beat Su Chen and win back, right?
The previous defeats are actually nothing, as long as he can win this match, then Lu Han can smile proudly.

Because the film market is the biggest piece of cake in the entertainment industry.

As for the heroine of the movie, the producers of "Magic City Fortress" did not give up publicity.

Shu Qi has always been a topical character. Now, as the lead actress in this movie, she has to work harder to hype her up.

As a result, netizens from all walks of life soon found out.

Some classic clips of vivid movies that Shu Qi starred in before were made into a collection and thrown out.

All of a sudden, the whole network was in commotion.

"Wo Cao! I still like Shu Qi from that period!"

"Why are you putting on your clothes?"

"Why do I think that Shuqi's previous position is more marketable! Well, I admit, I'm just such a wretch! But a good man needs a goddess who can comfort him late at night!"

"The one upstairs is too tasteless! Shu Qi's later movies are also very exciting!"

"I love it both before and after!"

"I think Shuqi in clothes is more sexy!"

"..."

The hot discussion of all parties quickly made the entry "Which period do you like book Qi?" rushed to the front row of the hot search list.

Soon, netizens from all walks of life found out.

Almost all of the top two spots on the hot search list were occupied by the leading actors and actresses of "Magic City Fortress".

Such a result made Su Chen's fans a little restless.

They rushed into Su Chen's scarf one after another, expressing their hearts.

"Brother Chen, let's use some killer moves! Otherwise, any cat or dog can ride on your head and shit!"

"Brother Chen needs to work harder at the critical juncture of movie promotion!"

"Brother Chen, let's have some serious news!"

"Brother Chen, send out something casually, and we can put it on the top!"

"..."

It's just that Su Chen really doesn't like such fancy hype.

Seeing the turmoil of the crowd, Su Chen replied on the scarf:
"Treat propaganda rationally, let us return to the movie itself!"

Well, such an answer obviously cannot satisfy the fans.

But as long as Su Chen replies, it will be fine!

Fans have a job to do.

As a result, Su Chen's fans immediately liked and reposted frantically.

It didn't take long for the entry "Su Chen urges fans to be rational about publicity!" to become No.1 on the most popular search lists.

This scene made Lu Han, Shu Qi, and the producer of "Magic City Fortress" a little suspicious of life.

They worked so hard, they didn't hesitate to go overseas, and they didn't hesitate to make a lot of hype, but they just filled the top of the hot search list for a while.

However, Su Chen just casually posted a scarf, and it rushed to No.1 on the hot search list.

How do you tell them to live?
Fortunately, this wave of enthusiasm did not last long.

After all, it is the nature of netizens to eat melons and watch the excitement. Su Chen's remarks are too pedantic.

After the enthusiasm of Su Chen's fans dissipated, the topic about Lu Han and Shu Qi gradually rushed up, occupying No. 2 on the hot search lists again.

Even later, topics related to Smith and his son rushed to the top of the hot search list.

Seeing such a situation, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were a little restless.

They wanted to persuade Su Chen to break the news, but when they thought of Su Chen's usual style, they immediately fell silent.

Su Chen is not someone who likes to deliberately hype.

Alas, since you've been here for so long, it's better not to make trouble.

Otherwise, if you annoy Su Chen, you will be the one who suffers.

Therefore, in the past few days, Su Chen, Yu Entai, Jiang Chao and other "Huaxia Partners" have also promoted the movie in a regular manner, but the topicality is seriously insufficient.

Su Chen didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and her presence at the publicity scene was even worse than that of Yang Mi, Deng Ziqi, Zhao Liying and others.

In this way, the most direct consequence is.

The popularity on the Internet has been suppressed by "Magic City Fortress" and "Return to Earth".

under such a circumstance.

It's the eve of the movie's release.

Some large entertainment websites took the opportunity to vote for "Most Anticipated Movies in April".

The result was no surprise.

At number one is "Return to Earth."

In second place is "Magic City Fortress".

And Su Chen's heart movie "Huaxia Partner" only ranked third.

Moreover, the number of votes was still far from the top two.

Such a result immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens from all walks of life.

"A very normal result! Hollywood blockbusters, plus Smith's signature guarantee, "Return to Earth" is definitely the first choice!"

"No matter what the quality of the movie is, as long as it is starring Lu Han, I will buy tickets!"

"Actually, just from the investment cost of the movie, we can roughly see the quality of the movie. The investment cost of "Return to Earth" is 1.3 million knives, and the investment cost of "Magic City Fortress" is 3.6 million. Su Chen's movie " The investment cost of "Huaxia Partner" is only over 4000 million! No matter how you look at it, it is not at the same level!"

"Su Chen just wants to reap the traffic. Some people have been tricked by others, and they foolishly helped count the money!"

"The soil turtle theme of "Huaxia Partners" is enough to dissuade you!"

"..."

Such wind reviews and online voting eventually affected the major theaters.

After urgent discussions, the top executives of the major theaters finally decided to reduce the schedule of Su Chen's movie "Huaxia Partner".

So, all of a sudden, theater announcements were released one by one.

25%!

26%!

25.5%!

……

Almost all theaters have reduced the screening ratio of Su Chen's films to about 25%.

The reason why not all theaters are because.

Dadi Cinemas and Chengtian Jiahe's cinemas also reduced the screening ratio of Su Chen's movie to 8%!

Yes, Liu Rong, chairman of Dadi Cinemas, and Wu Kebo, chairman of Chengtian Jiahe, both chose to continue beating Xingyi Media.

Since the major theaters have lowered the schedule of "Huaxia Partners", they must follow suit.

at the same time.

The major theater lines are almost the same, increasing the film schedule of "Return to Earth" and "Fortress of the Magic City" to about 33.

see this result.

Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were angry and annoyed. Are these theaters united now to boycott Xingyi Media?

Otherwise, why do it?
With Su Chen's current popularity and the high reputation of his last movie, he shouldn't be given such a low rating.

They were worried that Su Chen would be angry because of this.

So the two brothers came to Su Chen at the same time to conduct self-criticism:
"Xiaochen, I'm sorry, we are not good at public relations!"

"Those theater chains are too tasteless! You are right! We must expand the territory of the theater chain as soon as possible to gain a greater say in the terminal."

However, Su Chen's reaction was far beyond their expectations.

"Mr. Zhong, it's fine."

"The audience knows how to distinguish what is a good movie and what is a bad movie."

Well, Su Chen's attitude really gave the Zhong brothers a lot of confidence.

Because, in the past, as long as Su Chen showed such an attitude, the performance of the work would not be bad.

However, this still cannot completely reassure Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun.

This is about billions of dollars in revenue.

How can we take it lightly?

At midnight that night.

Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun walked into the viewing hall of "Magic City Fortress" at the same time.

Yes, the brothers decided to personally test the strength of their opponent's works to see if they would subvert Su Chen's film status.

The movie begins immediately.

Probably such a story:
In the future world, alien dark forces raid the earth, and Shanghai has become the last hope of mankind.College student Jiang Yang followed the female commander Lin Lan into the Shanghai Fortress to become a commander, and fought against the alien invasion together with his teammates...

However, only watched it for half an hour.

Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun felt dull.A heart is also completely put into the stomach.

This movie has too many flaws.

The lines are so embarrassing that I can't even match my mouth!The leading actor's acting skills are embarrassing, and the pair of Lu Han and Shu Qi have no sense of CP at first glance.

It is said to be a science fiction film, but it is actually a romance film, and it is said to be a romance film, but there are no scenes that can touch people's hearts.

At this time, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun wondered, Su Chen probably hasn't seen this movie, has he?

But why is he able to predict the future, so nonchalant?

However, they had to admit that Su Chen did have foresight.

How could such a movie threaten Su Chen's "Huaxia Partner"?
But of course, that's only for this movie.

For "Return to Earth" starring Smith and his son, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun are still a little worried.

After all, in the past, Hollywood blockbusters had a crushing advantage over domestic films.

Although Su Chen's last movie was a big success, can he continue to shine in the face of the impact of Hollywood blockbusters?

This is a question to be verified.

With such doubts, the Zhong brothers walked into the viewing hall of "Return to Earth".

Suddenly, they saw a scene that worried them even more.

"Finally wait for this day!"

"Smith's movie must be supported!"

"..."

The audience was whispering.Expectations for this movie are generally high.

Even more terrifying.

I saw that in the theater, the attendance rate exceeded 60%!

You know, this is the early morning file!To be able to have such a high attendance rate shows how fanatical Huaxia's fans are for Smith and his son.

It seems that in front of real international superstars, domestic stars are still not enough to look at.

With anxiety, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun started watching "Return to Earth".

but.

As time passed, the Zhong brothers became more and more relaxed.

Without him.

This movie is far from what they expected.

Although the movie is titled as starring Smith, the real starring role is Smith's son, Jr. Smith.80% of the shots and 90% of the plot of the movie were handed over to Smith Jr., but unfortunately, Smith Jr.'s acting skills can only be regarded as half-baked, and cannot support a movie at all.

Moreover, the plot routine of the movie is really too vulgar.

to this moment.

Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun finally have no ideological burden anymore.

To be honest, if it wasn't too late, they still wanted to pull Su Chen out to celebrate.

Such a low-quality movie is unlikely to have much impact on Su Chen's movie.

Even now, the major theaters are not very high in the allocation ratio for "Huaxia Partners".

However, the Chung brothers believe that the audience will eventually make the right choice.

At this moment, from the perspective of the Zhong brothers, although the two opponents seem to be formidable, they are actually just paper tigers.

They believed that Su Chen could break it back.If the theaters do not arrange films, it means that the theaters have no vision.Alas, speaking of this matter, they feel the urgency of acquiring theaters even more.

If you have theaters in your hands and your own movies are released, you won't be so constrained.

At the same time, reviews about these three movies appeared on the Internet one after another.

The Zhong brothers were happy to see it.

Most of them complained about "Return to Earth" and "Fortress of Magic City".

"Old Smith also worked hard to support his son!"

""Return to Earth" has hit the street in Ugly Country, don't you know? Now we're waiting for some bad actors to enter the theater and give them money!"

"This movie is a combination of storytelling and bosom friends! Hahaha... extremely vulgar!"

"Only children think about how to save their father."

"Obviously, Smith and his son want to come to Huaxia to recover their blood. It's a pity that I can only help them here!"

"..."

The reviews of "Magic City Fortress" are not much better.

"Lu Han and Shu Qi as CP? I really don't know what the director thinks!"

"The acting skills of the two protagonists are equally bad! In this regard, they are indeed a perfect match!"

"Tenghua finds you a romance film director, what kind of sci-fi film are you making?"

"This is a completely different movie!"

"It's so hype, in fact, this movie has no bright spots! On the contrary, it's full of slots!"

"..."

In stark contrast to this.

Netizens praised Su Chen's "Huaxia Partner".

"It restores the process of realizing the 'China Dream'."

"Looking at the name, I thought it was a bad movie, but I didn't expect it to shock me so deeply!"

"Brother Chen showed us the epitome of an era!"

"Jiang Chao and Yu Entai are seriously underestimated, their acting skills are unbelievable!"

"I didn't expect that the subject matter that seemed to be a turtle could bring me such a big shock."

"From story to acting, to post-production, every link is impeccable!"

"..."

Prime time for the second night.

As usual, Liu Rong, chairman of Dadi Cinemas, came to inquire about the data of the three films.

At this time, the general manager's heart was more tormented.

"Mr. Liu, the box office of the three films are all so-so."

"Also, the reviews of "Return to Earth" and "Fortress of Magic City" are a bit poor."

Of course, he didn't dare to say about the extremely high attendance rate of "Huaxia Partner".

Wouldn't it be stupid to mention this even though he knew his boss could suppress Xingyi Media and Su Chen?
Hearing this, Liu Rong was a little unhappy.

The box office is so-so, which means that the theaters are not making money. The situation of Dadi Cinemas will not change because of the release of these three films.

No, strictly speaking, it should be two movies.

Su Chen's "Huaxia Partner" is not included.

If someone loves such a soil turtle theme, he must have seen a ghost.

Suppressing Xingyi Media and Su Chen was partly the reason, and Liu Rong's dislike of such movie themes was a more important reason.

The results now come out also confirm Liu Rong's point of view.

Su Chen's movie is really not good.

"How about the attendance of the three films?"

Liu Rong then asked about the specific data of the three films.

Hearing such words, the general manager didn't know what to say.

Because the gap here is really too huge.Moreover, there is the possibility of offending the chairman.

Seeing the general manager's faltering, Liu Rong was annoyed:

"what happened!"

"Could it be that you did something shameful behind my back!"

Faced with the coercion of the chairman, the general manager can only reveal the truth:

"At the end of the day, the average attendance rate of "Return to Earth" is only 35%, and the average attendance rate of "Modu Fortress" is only 28%."

"What? How is this possible!"

Hearing this, Liu Rong couldn't believe her ears.

"Is this the same attendance rate for prime time now?"

The general manager replied: "The attendance rate of these two movies is gradually declining."

"From the premiere in the early hours of last night to now, the attendance rate has dropped by nearly half."

"impossible!"

Liu Rong became angry for no reason.

"There must be something wrong with your work."

According to Liu Rong's decades of experience, the prime time is the time when a movie has the highest attendance rate.

How could it not be as good as the early morning file?

The general manager is very innocent: "Mr. Liu, we have already done what should be done."

"I even launched a lucky draw. But the data came out, that's it."

"Moreover, the service staff are very enthusiastic and thoughtful in their work, and they can't find any faults. Mr. Liu, I really tried my best."
