Many netizens who were waiting to watch "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" did not wait for the increase in the pre-sale schedule as expected. Instead, they waited for the news that California commercial blockbusters were introduced to China one after another.

Several California blockbusters have been fixed one after another, and the time is still very close,? This really caused a wave of heated discussions on the Internet.

【Holy shit,? If it weren't for the cold weather, I thought it was summer vacation】

【What the hell?The movies I want to see are all released together】

【Dazzling】

[I didn't even have any news before, so I'm going to airborne and set the date for mid-November?]

[somewhat incomprehensible]

【Crazy?It's okay to compete with each other.too curly too curly]

[No wonder there are so few films in "The Sword of the Blue Cliff",? Compared with California blockbusters, domestic costume martial arts movies really have no advantage]

["The Sword of the Blue Cliff" has a lot of investment, and there are Song Sheng and Wei Du,? Why can't it be so short, right? The movie theater here at my house doesn't have a golden field]

【I'm going,? Is it Wei's group again?】

Weisheng will not give up the battlefield of public opinion easily.

He began to create the concept of "November California Movies" on the Internet: try to put overseas commercial blockbusters in this cold period as much as possible, and let them fight each other, with the purpose of protecting more domestic films.

As for "Green Cliff Sword", it was purely bad luck that he ran into the muzzle of a gun.

"Boss Wei."

The assistant was a little worried: "What happened last time was too big after all. Even if it's California Film Month this time, Qianqi Pictures and Hengbao Real Estate have no direct relationship with the group. I'm afraid many netizens will still go to You are suspicious."

"What do you know!"

Wei Sheng snorted, "So what if you doubt it? Any accusation without evidence can only be defined as spreading rumors."

After all, Wei Sheng said again: "However, there is some truth in what you said,? I really can't make them too united."

"Go, let the big Vs start to lead the public opinion, and then go get a group of high-level sailors. Those netizens who conspired to the group,? Divert their attention——Didn't you suspect that my Wei Group did it? ? If it was really done by the Wei Group, then who asked the crew to choose such a high-risk artist as Wei Du? Because Wei Du was alone, the entire movie was retaliated against, and the interests of so many related personnel were damaged. Wei Du's fault."

"Netizens are nothing more than brainless goldfish."

"Make more noise and they will naturally split into different groups."

"Not only netizens, but also film investors can try to contact them. How much can an investor invest? Tens of millions."

The assistant said: "Yes, Mr. Wei is smart."

In places where no one can see, one measure after another was implemented one after another.

Before the film's premiere.

Investors and other important behind-the-scenes people of "The Sword of the Blue Cliff", after all kinds of efforts failed to achieve results, sat together and urgently discussed what to do next.

The box office hit the street. For actors, it is just that the road in the film industry will be more difficult in the future.But for investors, that is a real benefit.

"So many overseas films have been introduced. The California Film Month is clearly aimed at us."

"Before the movie is officially released, do you want to temporarily withdraw the file? Change to another schedule."

"A lot of publicity expenses have been spent a long time ago, and the follow-up advertisements have already been decided. Now that the file is changed, it will be a loss of tens of millions."

"These overseas commercial blockbusters were released so suddenly and strangely. If Wei Sheng did it on purpose, then you can cancel the file and change the file, but he can't? Wei's group is rich and powerful, and it's not like the few of us can compare."

"This won't work, that won't work, what should I do! After investing so much money, I don't want to lose it all!"

A chubby middle-aged man said: "In my opinion, this time it was purely caused by Wei Du, and he shouldn't have been used in the first place. Now that things have come to an end, we might as well withdraw the file first, and then delete as much as possible." For his role, go to the Wei Group to seek peace. In this way, Wei Sheng's goal will be achieved, and there is no need to embarrass us."

But someone immediately refuted: "I chose Wei Du at the beginning. No one expected the Wei Du Group's affairs, and it was not Wei Du's fault. Last time, Wei Sheng's reputation was in a mess. He won't be able to please the public opinion. If you give in to him, what will the audience think? Even if there is a film arrangement, will the audience be willing to go to the cinema?"

Another person also came out and said, "It's impossible to delete the scenes of Wei Du, unless you directly change people to reshoot. If the role of the villain general is cut, the whole movie will not stand up at all, and the box office will not be good."

Wei Du is the second part of the movie, if you want to change people, it is almost equivalent to a reshoot, which is basically impossible.

The director of "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" said angrily: "Wei Du is his younger brother. Instead of thinking about brotherhood, he shot one after another. Our entire crew, how many people have worked hard to shoot a movie, he can snipe if he wants to." , mobilize the crowd, and even end up at home and abroad together. This person is too arrogant and domineering!"

This statement has been recognized by many people.

"Wei Sheng's move is really petty to the extreme. It doesn't look like the behavior of a group president. The old chairman of Wei's Group is still alive. I don't think he will be around for long."

"He has always acted in such a high-profile way. If he continues, the government will take action to sanction him sooner or later."

"There is also the Gu Group. I always feel that Gu Xiuming and Wei Du have some inexplicable relationship, maybe we don't have to worry so much."

At this time, the fat middle-aged man said again: "Old Qin, don't you think so naively about business matters? Besides, even if Gu Xiuming wanted to help Wei Du, the Gu Group would What can he do if he has not set foot in the cinema chain? Maybe Weidu can rely on this relationship to not worry about filming in the future, but it is meaningless to us."

The original hostility towards Wei Sheng, because of this sentence, turned into worry about the future of the movie.

At the same time, a similar debate is going on in the corner of the Internet.

[If it was really made by Wei's Group, the movie would have been a disaster for no reason. It would have been nice if Wei Du hadn't been hired to play the male lead at the time]

[There is a conflict between Wei Du and his brother, if you want to fight over the family property, just fight it, why do you want to implicate innocent people]

[Is this the theory of blaming the victim?]

[Some people really opened my eyes.I thought everyone knew how vicious and weird the president of the Wei Group was last time]

[I dare not attack Wei's Group, and I dare not attack Wei's Group's wandering children (dog head)]

[Everyone stop arguing, who knows who said something is a person or a ghost, the Wei Group is very good at engaging in public opinion wars, don't forget that even the official media was bought by him last time to end the connotation]

……

The official release time of the movie is at 11 pm on November 5th.

In the afternoon plus the whole night, as of 0:4000 in the morning, the box office of "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" was only [-] million.

For an ancient costume martial arts movie with an investment of 3 million yuan, this premiere result can be regarded as a very failure.

City H.

At one o'clock in the morning, the owner of Shangwei Cinema, a subsidiary of Hengbao Real Estate, walked into his cinema and said to the staff, "Show me yesterday's performance."

The staff quickly brought the data over.

The boss read it carefully.

Of the three California films, one was released yesterday, accounting for 20.00% of the scheduled films; the other two were released this afternoon, accounting for 30.00% of the scheduled films.

Various other movies accounted for another 5.00%; the remaining 15.00% belonged to "The Sword of the Blue Cliff".

15.00%, doesn't look too low in this case.

However, among these films, only one scene started at 09:30, which was barely a golden spot.All other sessions are after 10:30.

Despite this, "Sword of the Blue Cliff" accounted for 20.00% of the box office. The attendance rate was obviously better than the two California films, and was on par with another California special effects blockbuster "Spaceman".

You know, that "Spaceman" got the most golden screens, and it also took away the only imax screen in the cinema.

"The potential of "Green Cliff Sword" is obviously greater, but the higher-ups don't allow me to give it a golden field. What should I do?"

"Even if it is said that it will be compensated, there are so many movie theaters across the country, how much can I share? The money selling drinks and popcorn is much better than movie tickets!"

After much deliberation, the boss decided to wait and see.

He has already watched "The Sword of the Blue Cliff", and the quality is indeed quite good.However, the domestic box office performance of costume martial arts movies has always been mediocre. He was not sure whether the people who bought tickets late at night were ordinary audiences or fans of the leading actors.

If fans are the main players, even though they can make more money by playing "The Sword of the Blue Cliff", but the extra money is limited, then forget it.

But if you can earn a lot more...

This night, many businessmen had similar thoughts.

Of course they didn't dare to offend Hengbao Real Estate, but if they couldn't eat the fat in their mouths, no matter whether it was useful or not, they had to find some way.

Weiss Group.

Wei Sheng looked at the received today's report and snorted coldly: "This is just the beginning, and some people have already started to obey others."

The assistant comforted: "Even so, the box office results of the first day of "The Sword of the Blue Cliff" are still unattainable. As long as it continues, it will not take a few days..."

"Do not."

Wei Sheng frowned and said, "This shows that I overlooked one thing earlier. Those small movie theater bosses will probably become more and more restless in the next few days."

He started giving orders.

"The piracy has already been done, and it must be spread as quickly as possible. Don't worry about copyright laws anymore. When the time comes, find someone to go in and take the blame."

"The navy has stepped up its efforts to give netizens time to think and develop a rebellious mentality. They must keep muddying the water, causing those who love Weidu to quarrel with those who are angry with Weidu, and provoke conflicts between them. "

The assistant was about to leave, Wei Sheng said again: "Also, send someone to monitor Wei Du's actions. If there is any movement, report to me immediately."

"Yes."

The assistant responded respectfully.

Just as the assistant took two steps forward, Wei Sheng stopped him again.

"In addition, Gu Xiuming can't relax. Although it's just a private matter this time, he doesn't need to take action, but he still has to be careful. Who knows what kind of agreement he has with Wei Du in private."

The assistant replied: "Yes."

An apartment in S city.

After sorting out all the data, Weidu made a few more mind maps, packed them together, and clicked to send.

"Go and call Sister Jin, I have already sent her the information."

Zhou Linlin immediately ran to make a phone call.

After a while, he came back and asked, "Brother Wei, didn't you say that the program has been written long ago and can directly collect the real-time performances of the movie theater? Why did it take so long today?"

It seems that it is not only today.

For the past two days, Brother Wei has been busy in front of the computer. He didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't dare to disturb him.

"I found some more information temporarily."

Wei Du said: "Use a lot of data and logic to prove the connection between Qianqi Films, Hengbao Real Estate and Wei's Group."

Zhou Linlin said, "Huh? But..."

The Wei Group is standing behind Qianqi Films. The news first came from some big production companies in the industry.

Even so, if it weren't for this incident, it would be impossible to determine how reliable it is.

As for Hengbao Real Estate, before this movie incident, no one even linked this company with Wei's Group.

No matter how much netizens speculate, no matter how "conspiracy theories", no matter how sure they are, they can only be guesses without any evidence.

They really have nothing to do with each other.

Wei Du smiled and said, "This is the charm of the information age."

"As long as there is a connection, it will leave a trace, even if it is very shallow."
