prodigal director

Chapter 125 New Year's Eve Slap in the Face

night.

Hao Huan's 888 million yuan Weibo lottery draw is over. He announced the list of winners, and after sending the bonus to the other party in the form of red envelopes, he successfully obtained 888 million worth of losers.

Now, in the upper right corner of the system, a lot of prodigal points have been accumulated.

62338080!

He wanted to accumulate [-] million Prodigal Points, but there was no place for him to spend extravagantly to obtain Prodigal Points.

……

The next morning, Zhou Zhongcai managed to buy a movie ticket for "Return to Soul Night".

Of course, it was his assistant who was staring at the phone, waiting for someone to refund the ticket, and then gave him the movie ticket he grabbed, otherwise it would be really hard to get a ticket.

In the movie theater, Zhou Zhongcai walked in wearing a mask.

Compared with Hao Huan, he is actually more famous, he became famous earlier, and he has more classic and good representative works.

It's just that as a fat director who is about to turn 40, in terms of image and popularity, he can't compare to the young, handsome and rich Hao Huan.

But if he doesn't wear a mask, he is still likely to be recognized by the audience in the theater.

He's not like Hao Huan, who deliberately let others know about every movie he watched, and then frankly made the operation a hot search!

Of course, he is also out of guilty conscience now, afraid that his movie is really not good and will be ridiculed by the audience on the spot, so he sneaks in wearing a mask, otherwise he doesn't mind being as high-profile as Hao Huan, shamelessly rubbing all kinds of things heat.

After picking up the tickets, it didn't take long for the "Returning Soul Night" he bought to start showing.

Going in line, Zhou Zhongcai bought the movie ticket for the corner seat in the last row. Sitting next to him is a couple of high school students. They are so affectionate and love each other. He wants to spit at the sight of you. That's the last sentence.

Soon, audiences came in one by one, and Zhou Zhong realized that the theater was full!In other words, is it true that online votes are hard to find?This Hao Huan didn't vote?

The 100% attendance rate shows that this theater is full of real audiences!And not a single one was absent!

His complexion became ugly.

Because his "Double Happiness" will not have such a 100% attendance rate, because he checked the box office, and there are at least two seats in the front row or the most edge of each show that were selected by the box office. , so it is impossible for "Double Happiness" to have such a full-seat situation. At least two seats will be left vacant by the box office, and there are even three or four more!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongcai felt a little irritable and depressed.

Hao Huan didn't check the box office. The movie earned 1 million yuan in a single day. He earned nearly 6000 million yuan at the box office. So far, the total box office is only 2.4 million yuan!

Excluding the generated box office, the real total box office of "Double Happiness" is actually not much more than that of "Returning Soul Night"!

The key point is that the film scheduling rate of "Double Happiness" is as high as 32%, while the film scheduling rate of "Return to Soul Night" is only 10%. Therefore, if the box office of "Double Happiness" cannot even reach three times that of "Return to Soul Night", then It means it’s already gone!

In the mood of irritability, depression and displeasure, Zhou Zhongcai watched the "Returning Soul Night", which made him displeased.

The horror atmosphere at the beginning of the plot was well created, giving the audience a tense mood.

Zhou Zhongcai secretly complained, is this a comedy movie?When the audience are fools!
Sure enough, most of those comments saying how wonderful and funny it was were made by Hao Huan who asked the trolls to come over and post it!
Going on, Hao Huan's first ghost-catching plot made the audience roar with laughter in several places.

If it wasn't for Zhou Zhongcai's prejudice against this movie and Hao Huan, I'm afraid he would not be able to help but laugh out loud.

He took back what he said earlier.

This really seems like a comedy!
After a few minutes.

The audience laughed again.

Zhou Zhongcai's mouth twitched and he held it back.

His self-esteem does not allow him to laugh, otherwise it means that he has admitted that Hao Huan's movie is really funny!
After half an hour.

"puff!"

Zhou Zhongcai suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably, the mask he was wearing on his face was almost blown out by him!
The couple of high school students next to them is also strange, everyone is laughing while watching the movie, why is this guy holding back all the time?

Aren't you tired?

The movie continues.

When dealing with the couple ghosts, the laughs were less, and the tense and scary atmosphere was presented again, but everyone had a good time watching it, so everyone was not too nervous or scared seeing it here.

Zhou Zhongcai suddenly realized that Hao Huan had deliberately mixed comedy elements into the mix!

Otherwise, this is a real suspense thriller movie!In this way, no one will go to see this movie during the Spring Festival!
Have to say, this guy does have two brushes!Knowing that comedy is popular during the Spring Festival, I forced comedy elements into it!
Finally, seeing where Hao Huan died, Zhou Zhongcai secretly cursed Hao Huan in his heart, hoping that the real Hao Huan would die quickly and stop harming others!

However, he found that among the young lovers beside him, the girl suddenly cried and sobbed!

Zhou Zhong couldn't stand it anymore.

cry your sister!

How touching is this plot?Isn't Hao Huan just dead?

This is really a trust!

He refused to accept it, however, in the movie theater where the laughter had faded, there were indeed quite a few emotional audiences who were suddenly moved and sniffled!

He took a deep breath and continued to look down patiently.

The final plot of the mental hospital made the audience laugh several times.

When Hao Huan returned from his soul, the girl next to him was so moved that he cried again!
Here, the movie ends.

Zhou Zhongcai stood up with a bad look on his face, and the girl next to him choked with sobs and reminded him: "It's not over yet, there are Easter eggs at the end of the film!"

There is your sister!

cry your sister!

Zhou Zhongcai didn't bother to pay attention to this audience request. When he walked out, he found that in the entire theater, he was the only one who came out ahead of time, and everyone else was waiting to see the Easter egg!
Toxic!
Everyone is waiting to see the easter eggs?
He couldn't swallow this breath, so he went out and got a ticket for "Double Happiness", and then went in to watch his movie.

As a result, people compare themselves to others, which makes people mad!
Although the "Double Happiness" he watched was quite popular and there were only 5 vacancies in the audience, but after the whole movie, few audiences really laughed!

The most irritating thing was the boy sitting next to him, who was playing mobile games the whole time and didn't watch movies at all!
After the movie ended, there were bursts of complaints in the theater.

"Boring, I wouldn't have watched this movie if I knew it earlier, it's not funny at all!"

"It's okay. Although there are not enough laughs, the story itself is still complete. It's a pity that there are too few shows of "Returning Soul Night", and I can't buy a ticket. Otherwise, I will go to "Returning Soul Night". I heard that "Return to Soul Night" is quite funny."

"Zhou Zhongcai's movie is clearly a money trap! I've been looking forward to it for a whole year! In the future, unless his movie's reputation explodes, I won't even buy a ticket to watch it!"

……

Hearing these complaining voices, Zhou Zhongcai was pierced to the heart.

Compared with the "Returning Soul Night" he watched earlier, the atmosphere of the audience in this theater is too exaggerated!
"The Night of Resurrection" was full of roars of laughter, and was moved to tears. As a result, his "Double Happiness" only had a few laugh-out-loud audiences, and the rest After watching it, the audience looked bored and disgusted, feeling like they had suffered a big loss!

He couldn't accept such an exaggerated contrast!

But the facts told him that "Returning Soul Night" is indeed a comedy, and it is much more funny than his "Double Happiness"!
After leaving the theater sullenly and going back, the first thing Zhou Zhongcai had to do was to find the navy!He had to spend this money, and he had to get the navy to post good reviews to create "Double Happiness" as a funny and humorous comedy movie. It's better to be more foolish, otherwise the rate of filming will be lowered at that time, and it will be difficult for the box office to go up!
Taking advantage of the fact that all the scheduled shows in the coming week have been occupied by him by buying tickets, he has to try his best to get the audience to buy as many movie tickets as possible to watch "Double Happiness" in the coming week. Otherwise, after a week, this The film scheduling rate will inevitably be reduced from 32% to 10%, or even less than 10%!

In this way, the box office increase will become worse and worse a week later!
He felt a little lucky now. Fortunately, he had occupied two or three slots for each show at the box office. Otherwise, once the theater found out that there were empty tickets, most of them would cancel this show and replace it with "Return" Soul Night" Go up.

Now, if these theaters want to increase the screening rate of "Return to Soul Night", they can only shorten the time between shows and try to add a few more shows to "Return to Soul Night". Otherwise, they will have to wait until next week to significantly improve "Return to Soul Night". The film schedule of "Return to the Soul Night" has increased.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, in the afternoon.

Hao Huan's house was very lively, relatives and friends came to visit. Of course, relatives were his relatives, but friends and friends were all his father's.

But this time, Hao Huan also earned a lot of face, everyone was talking about his movies, boasting about his talent and promise, which sounded more comfortable than receiving a red envelope.

Today is the second day after "Returning Soul Night" was released, and with the 5000 million box office pre-sales, the total box office has now exceeded 2 million yuan, making it the third-ranked movie at the box office during the Spring Festival.

The number one ranking is not "Double Happiness", but the unexpected "Happy Secret Agent", which currently has a box office of 2.83 million yuan, 2000 million yuan more than Zhou Zhongcai's "Double Happiness".

But considering that this is also a comedy movie made by a great director, Hao Huan can understand it, but he didn't expect that his final opponent would not be Zhou Zhongcai's "Double Happiness", but this "Happy Secret Agent".

The third night of the new year.

"The Secret Agent" continues to sing, occupying the No. 1 box office position during the Spring Festival, with a box office of 3.98 million yuan. During the three days of release, the daily box office increase exceeded 1 million yuan each day.

"Returning Soul Night" surpassed "Double Happiness", ranking second with a box office of 3.7 million yuan, and the daily box office increase exceeded 1 million yuan.

The No.3 "Double Happiness" was a bit sluggish, with a pre-sale box office of 2 million yuan, and after three days of release, the box office only reached 3.3 million yuan.

If the Spring Festival screenings from the first day to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year were not announced in advance and locked, then the box office of "Double Happiness" may not even reach 2 million yuan.

Now Zhou Zhongcai can only earn the box office for these seven days, because during these seven days, "Double Happiness" has the most shows. If those audiences want to watch other movies but can't buy tickets, then they can only consider his " "Double Happiness", so he can be said to have picked up a lot of cheap box office.

Unlike "Happy Detective" and "Return to the Soul Night", since the filming rate from the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is not very high, it is now difficult to get a ticket.

But now that the [-]th and [-]th Lunar New Year sessions are open in advance, the numbers are much better!
For the pre-sale sessions after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the screening rate of "Returning Soul Night" has reached 37%, making it the film with the highest screening rate after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.Then there is "Happy Agent", the film screening rate also increased to 30%, and the unlucky Zhou Zhongcai, the film screening rate in the first seven days was as high as 32%, and the subsequent film screening rate immediately dropped to only 8.9%.

This feeling of heaven falling into hell, Hao Huan couldn't bear to mock Zhou Zhongcai!
He is now constantly refreshing the data...

3 minute later.

"No. 1!"

Hao Huan looked excited. For the pre-sale sessions open on the eighth and ninth day of the lunar month, he clicked on any theater and clicked on any show in a time period. He could see that the seats in the middle were already red and had been locked in by the audience who bought tickets in advance. !

He had seen the movie before it was released. Zhou Zhongcai's "Double Happiness" can be shown nearly 20 times a day in any theater. Now "Returning Soul Night" in the eighth and ninth day of the lunar new year can be shown at least 25 times a day in any theater. !
It can be said that the film schedule rate for the Spring Festival stalls is very high!

If there is such a high screening rate from the first day of the new year to the seventh day of the new year, then the current "Returning Soul Night" may have exceeded 10 billion box office!

Hao Huan took a screenshot excitedly, and then posted a Weibo, imitating Zhou Zhongcai's embarrassing look at the beginning, and sighed: "This number one box office seems to be the one that really deserves its name!"

What he meant was that Zhou Zhongcai's pre-sale box office No. 1, which Zhou Zhongcai took screenshots before the release, didn't deserve its name at all!

The point is that Hao Huan took the screenshots this time, and like Zhou Zhongcai, he also included the box office ranking of "Double Happiness" in the screenshots.

This scene was just like how Zhou Zhongcai slapped Hao Huan in the face when he was showing off.

Seeing that comment, the audience and netizens began to mock.

""Double Happiness" is a bad movie! It was the No. 1 pre-sale box office at the time, and it was just a fake!"

"This New Year's Eve slap in the face is amazing! On the 1th night of the New Year, Zhou Zhongcai's "Double Happiness" was No. 5 in the pre-sale box office, and then took screenshots to pretend to be aggressive. At that time, "Returning Soul Night" was ranked No. [-] in the pre-sale box office. [-]. Now on the third night of the Lunar New Year, "Returning to the Soul Night" beats "Double Happiness" at the box office, how does Zhou Zhongcai feel?"

"How else can I feel! He will definitely say that the box office of "Returning to the Soul Night" is nothing!"

……

Not long after, when Zhou Zhongcai saw Hao Huan's Weibo, he was so angry that his nose was crooked!
He learned from the pain and made up his mind again!
I must think carefully about the next movie, take it seriously, and let Hao Huan know what regret is and what despair is!
……

PS: I'm a little tired, it's still one or two o'clock in the morning for Chapter 3.
