The general wore back to the real young master and became popular

After the wrap-up banquet, there is only half a month left until the premiere of the movie "The Sword of the Blue Cliff".

Wei Du officially joined the film's promotional activities.

In the central square of City S, the Cadiz Cinema here is the largest cinema in Huaguo, and it is also the first stop for the protagonists to start their road show promotion.

Song Sheng smiled and said, "Wei Du,? You're here."

Wei Du hummed: "It's been hard these few days."

The road show has just begun,? But the film's publicity plan has already started.

Song Sheng, who is the number one male, started participating in related activities two weeks ago.

"It's hard to say that it's not hard work."

Song Sheng looked at Wei Du with concern: "It's you, you have experienced a lot during this time, you should have never been free, right?"

The two chatted briefly for a while, and then started the road show.

Wei's Group Building.

""The Sword of the Blue Cliff" is finally going to be released?"

Wei Sheng snorted coldly, what a loss he suffered last time? He never got back with revenge? It doesn't mean he really forgot about it.

Wei Sheng looked at his assistant and said, "Go and talk to Mr. Zhang of Qianqi Pictures, and tell him that the time has come. Can you sit firmly in that position? It depends on how he does this time."

The assistant leaned over and said, "Yes."

After the assistant left, Wei Sheng looked up news about the movie "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" on the Internet.

Regardless of fans or ordinary netizens, the expectations are very high.And it is precisely because of the Hongshan incident, the video of Wei Du flying over the walls of the mountains, that made the public particularly interested in this movie.

"The number one male is still Song Sheng."

"It's just right for the two of you to be together."

So what if there are many fans, high popularity, and good quality? Huaguo has never seen such a movie before and lost everything.

A movie is nothing without a good schedule and schedule.

There are films scheduled for the Spring Festival, and no matter how bad the film is, it can easily earn hundreds of millions.

Good movies hit commercial blockbusters one after another, no matter how high the word of mouth is, it will make investors jump off the building.

Qianqi Films and Hengbao Real Estate, these two companies have nothing to do with Wei's Group on the surface.

One is responsible for the introduction of overseas movies, and the other controls nearly half of the movie theaters in the country.

The California film industry has already said hello.

At that time,? There will be several commercial blockbusters released at the same time, and they will all become the competitors of "The Sword of the Blue Cliff".

When "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" is released, it will first face the attack of many California commercial blockbusters.

At this time, half of the movie theaters in China will distribute all the good movies to overseas blockbusters, and only reserve some late-night slots for "The Sword of the Blue Cliff", so as not to be too unreasonable in terms of numbers.

Wei Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"Get some more pirated copies for you."

"The draft of the navy, reselling by scalpers, smuggling at the box office..."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how the box office of the movie can still be so high."

"This is the result of the first movie, how should your movie path go?"

At that time, when he learned about various methods in the film industry and then planned this matter, his purpose was just to keep Wei Duhong from getting up, so as not to let his father notice.

So far, it's more of pure venting of anger.

With the opening of the pre-sale, the producers of "Green Cliff Sword" began to feel that something was wrong.

"Why are there so few films?"

"Although the first few costume movies in China were all overwhelmed, "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" has sufficient funds. The male number one Song Sheng has box office appeal, and the male number two Wei Du is also very popular. Because of the video that was exposed on Hongshan , Wei Du flies and walks like a real martial arts master, so the movie has received huge attention. At this moment, there are many netizens waiting to buy tickets."

Pre-sale is very important to the box office of a movie, and it cannot be underestimated.

The producer immediately began to ask the movie theater about the situation through its own contacts.

"What? Waiting for other films?"

"November is not a big hit, where did other commercial blockbusters come from?"

The reason why this cold period was chosen in the first place was to reduce competition.

At the same time, the producer is very confident in the quality of the movie, and believes that "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" can go a long way by relying on word of mouth.

But if there aren't many viewers who can even see the film, how can word of mouth come from?

Not only the producers noticed something was wrong, but fans and some passers-by who were waiting to buy tickets also felt strange.

【what happened?It is so difficult to buy a ticket in advance]

[Why can I only buy products starting at 10:30 p.m. here? ?Is it poisonous? Who would choose this time on a weekday to go to the movies?]

[Hee hee, I have tickets for xx cinema at 300 o'clock, 132 yuan each, if you want to buy it quickly, call [-]xxxxxxxx]

[Hunger marketing is really unnecessary]

[emmm originally wanted to buy a ticket to see it, what the hell is this pre-sale, and there are a bunch of scalpers selling it.Speechless, don’t watch it, whoever wants to watch it, let’s watch it]

[It is estimated that the producer is so popular that they are unwilling to pay the "protection fee" to the cinema, so that's it]

[Wait and see, the pre-sale has just started, and the film should be released in two days]

……

As strange as it may seem, most people don't give much thought to conspiracy theories.

After all, movie box office is a matter of concern to the interests of everyone involved.If a movie can sell well, the cinema will only try to increase the number of movies for it, and there is no reason to push the money out.

"Hunger marketing? Hunger your head!"

Zhou Linlin looked at the discussion among the netizens, and couldn't help cursing: "What's going on? Could it be that Mr. Wei is playing tricks again? Otherwise, how could such a thing happen!"

Frowning and scrolling through Weibo for a long time, Zhou Linlin looked at Wei Du who was typing on the keyboard not far away.

"Brother Wei, are you not in a hurry? What should we do? It would be too..."

Wei Du didn't stop moving his hands, and said: "Don't worry too much, he will only be the one who will be unlucky in the end."

Zhou Linlin was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurried over.

Tilting his head and looking at it for a while, he saw that Brother Wei's fingers were surprisingly flexible. As the other party kept typing on the keyboard, some English appeared on the computer from time to time, and the page switched from time to time, which was completely incomprehensible.

Zhou Linlin finally asked, "Brother Wei, what are you doing?"

Wei Du put it succinctly: "Crawl the data and make statistics into a data table."

Only then did Zhou Linlin remember that Brother Wei is from the Computer Department of University A.

He moved a chair and sat next to Wei Du, even though he couldn't understand it, he watched it with gusto—Brother Wei's hands were beautiful, and when he was typing on the keyboard, he looked as graceful as he was playing the piano.At the same time, what he is doing is very inscrutable. It is also very refreshing to watch Xueba solve the problem itself, especially this problem is still a very annoying guy.

Half an hour passed like this.

Wei Du stopped what he was doing.

Zhou Linlin, who propped his head up, quickly sat upright, and asked nervously, "Brother Wei, are you alright?"

Wei Du looked at the screen and said: "Integrating the schedule, production, investment, and comparing with previous movies, this time, about 40.00% of the movie theaters in the country deliberately targeted "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" in the pre-sale."

"40.00% one? So high!"

Zhou Linlin felt that this was too much at first: "Is Wei Sheng so powerful? The Wei Group has nothing to do with movie theaters, right?"

Then he felt a little less: "No, brother Wei, I read the public opinion on the Internet, it seems that all movie theaters are against us."

Wei Du analyzed: "For the remaining 50.00% Jiuli, a considerable part of the golden shows should be bought by scalpers. After all, this is only a pre-sale, and the total number of films is actually quite limited. As for whether this scalper is really a scalper , yet to be determined.”

Zhou Linlin said firmly: "Wei Sheng must have done it too! Many people would think that buying tickets through scalpers would be too bad, and would not want to go see it."

Wei Du continued: "Of the 40.00% of the mile, 30.00% of it belongs to Hengbao Real Estate's industry. As for the remaining [-]%, it belongs directly to Qianqi Films. Huaguo imports overseas films, almost all It was conducted through the company Qianqi Films. In addition, [-]% of the movie theaters also belong to Hengbao Real Estate, but they chose to schedule films normally."

Zhou Linlin said in shock: "I just saw someone say that the reason why many movie theaters don't arrange for the pre-sale of "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" is because there will be a series of overseas blockbusters released in China! Is this true?"

Wei Du didn't continue talking about this matter, but said: "It seems that I still overestimate that president."

Zhou Linlin wanted to ask just now, and when he saw this, he quickly asked, "Why? Why is he the one who is unlucky? If the movie is really introduced, wouldn't all his plans succeed?"

Wei Du said: "How many stakeholders are there in movie theaters, large and small, across the country. The income of movie theaters is far more than the box office. Selling popcorn and other items is actually more profitable, and there are various businesses around the movie theater."

"Even if Wei Sheng can force this for a while with the power of the Wei Group, guess how many people will hate him because of it?"

"Besides, the last time the incident was so big, his arrogance has aroused the resentment of many people. This time, once there is conclusive evidence, the final result may not be like this He wishes."

Zhou Linlin was taken aback after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

"But, but—"

He hesitated and said: "Wei Sheng is the president of the Wei Group! He has been in charge of the Wei Group for several years, hasn't he been running well? How could..."

Wei Du said indifferently: "Of course he has the most basic abilities."

"Furthermore, once the market occupies a sufficient proportion, as long as no major mistakes are made, it will be difficult for latecomers to catch up until a new industrial revolution occurs."

"That big ship looks luxurious and magnificent, but I'm afraid there are already many sores inside. If this arrogant captain continues to drive..."

Wei Du's heart was complicated.

In theory, he is also a member of the Wei family.

Such a large group must be the hard work of parents who have never met, right?

If you want to solve this matter, you have to go to California to make it possible.

Unfortunately, this opportunity has never been.

After that, there will be an ancient tomb of an important person in Dayan, choose one of the two...

Zhou Linlin didn't know what to do.

He asked: "So what should we do now? Are we going to send out this data sheet?"

Wei Du said: "Not yet."

"Now it's just a pre-sale, and it can't explain too many problems. We need to wait until the day when the movie is officially released."
