As we all know, the box office on holidays is much higher than that on weekdays.
The schedule of Valentine’s Day on Chinese Valentine’s Day is not so bad, because it still has a little bit of summer vacation; but it’s not much better, because it’s the end of summer vacation, and students usually start their classes at this time up.
At the box office on Friday, "One Billion Robbery" was only less than 40 million higher than "Shit Shovel Officer", and the former's film schedule was almost double that of the latter.
This simple number is not only counted by fans, but also by theater managers.
So at the weekend, when the schedules of the two films are almost the same, it is when they really put the struggle on the bright side.
Mei Zihan woke up early in the morning and felt what it meant to be rich and powerful.
Weibo opened, major browsers opened, and major online comprehensives opened. Four of the top five most searched accounts on Weibo accounted for four of them. "Case" is highly praised. Stars in the entertainment industry also formed a united front, retweeted the lucky draw, liked and gave away tickets, there is nothing you can't see, only things you can't think of.
In contrast, Mei Zihan's popularity seemed a bit bleak.
Well, not somewhat, but it should be said too much.
"It seems that "One Billion Heist" has already started to be anxious." Liu Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw this, "It has lost its filming, so it is so anxious now. Seriously, I But I can understand why it avoided the National Day file, because it itself is a product that is not as good as the top, but more than the next.”
If it was in the past two years when the movie market was flooded with countless bad movies. The movie "One Billion Robbery" may be rated as a work of conscience, and it will reap a lot of box office. But now the film market has gradually begun to return to rationality, and audiences have begun to avoid the so-called bad movie stars. When it comes to "Shit Shovel Officer", a movie with a novel theme and interesting content, it doesn't look so good.
"With such a huge marketing campaign, it seems that they plan to focus on the two-day box office this weekend."
In other words, "One Billion Heist" decided to start taking the short film route.
As long as a certain box office can explode this weekend, the cost can be recovered. After the weekend, every extra day is a profit.
But in this way, the current situation of "Shit Shovel Officer" is really unfavorable. All the recommended places that can be bought now have been taken by others, and "Shit Shovel Officer" really doesn't have much money to do these.
At this time, the call from Qunyu Entertainment finally came.
The attitude of the company is very sincere, they are willing to use the best conditions to renew the contract with Mei Zihan, and express their apology for the previous contempt for the movie "Shit Shovel Officer".
Then the company proposed its current compensation. They said that what the movie "Shit Shoveler" lacks most at present is the investment of follow-up funds. In order to make this movie a better box office, they are willing to use their own money to do some marketing and promotion for this movie for free. As for the final box office share, they will not take Mei Zihan's due profits at all.
Such a condition can be said to be very sincere.
If Mei Zihan wasn't so rich, he might really agree to the other party's request.
But the problem now is that Mei Zihan lacks money for everything.
If he just wants to buy marketing, he can pay for it himself, but Mei Zihan wants to use word of mouth more, and he is not in a hurry to prove who is the best movie in this Valentine's Day schedule
Time will tell.
The audience likes "Shit Shovel Officer" and Mei Zihan's performance in it. For Mei Zihan, it was already the best compliment. Not to mention, because of this movie, Jiang Ying also admitted her own abilities.
"What do you think?" Liu Tianyi asked, "Actually, their conditions are pretty good."
"I just said that because I saw the box office of "The Shit Shoveler" now. In fact, even if I didn't say it, they would work hard to market this movie." Mei Zihan can see clearly that he is no longer the same as before. A guy who can be coaxed into a dizzy state by just a few nice words from others.
The reason why the company bowed their heads was because they saw the box office results of this film and saw the real money. Even if the box office of "Shit Shovel Officer" was a little bit worse, they would not use the current attitude. Welcome Mei Zi Cold back.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but after the first time, there will be a second and third time.
Just as Mei Zihan is no longer the former Mei Zihan, the current company is no longer the previous company. Because the chairman of the company never called Mei Zihan from the beginning to the end.
"It's okay to refuse." Liu Tianyi smiled, "It's just that, after the movie is released, I'm afraid the company will become angry and attack you maliciously."
Mei Zihan had terminated the contract peacefully with the company before, but now the people in the company discovered that Mei Zihan bought box office dividends of over 100 million from them at a price of 50 million, which was tantamount to stealing meat from them. People don't easily admit that they are wrong, they will only attribute this mistake to Mei Zihan.
"Sooner or later." Mei Zihan didn't care about it, he was so popular now, would he still be afraid of some scandals
On Saturday night, Mei Zihan went to "We Are All Idols" to participate in the recording of the third issue.
As soon as they arrived at the recording stage, the directors, screenwriters, staff, etc. of the program group all came up to congratulate Mei Zihan.
When the contestants saw Mei Zihan, their eyes became even hotter.
If Mei Zihan and Qin Ling were considered evenly matched before, then as soon as "Shit Shoveling Officer" came out, Mei Zihan had already dumped Qin Ling.
Fortunately, Mei Zihan and Qin Ling had always been speculating on brotherhood. If they were speculating on some kind of competitor, Qin Ling wouldn't be able to steal anything.
Qin Ling was extremely grateful for this.
Mei Zihan is really poisonous.
As with TV shows, so with movies. Counterattacks in the entertainment industry should be relatively rare, but for Mei Zihan, it seems to be a common occurrence.
The script of "Shit Shovel Officer" is indeed good enough, but Mei Zihan's performance makes it even better.
Qin Ling has already received news that Mei Zihan's "The Shit Shoveler", with his wonderful performance in it, can already be nominated for the top three best actor.
This is really a step up.
"Did you reject Qunyu Entertainment's request for reconciliation?" Qin Ling asked furtively.
The news spread so fast
Mei Zihan touched his nose, nodded, and admitted it.
"It's fine if you refuse. In fact, when we become popular to a certain extent, these companies will help us less and less." Qin Ling was deeply touched by this, and now he had to start leading the company The contracted artists are running around in various production groups, trying their best to let the newcomers show their faces. The company knew it couldn't keep him, so it wanted to drain every penny of his value during the contract period without any scruples.
"You can also terminate the contract."
"No, I'd better get through this final contract period first."
He is not as confident as Mei Zihan, and he can get such impressive results in his first movie.
After all, it was someone else's business, so Mei Zihan stopped after a few words of persuasion.
For the preliminaries of "We Are All Idols", the rules have changed again.
There are a total of one hundred preliminaries and six mentors.
Then in the third period, 60 out of 100 people will be selected, and each tutor will have the quota of 10 students. This is a two-way choice between tutors and students. After the ten places are full, no more choices can be made.
Viewers also have a choice.
Ten yuan per ticket, the ten contestants with the most votes will have the first chance to choose a mentor.
The audience's thoughts are very subtle. It's okay not to spend money for their favorite stars. Once the first yuan is spent, the next one hundred yuan, one thousand yuan will be spent easily.
Since I have spent money for you, I naturally want to see you go to the highest place. Most viewers have this kind of mentality, once they start to develop their favorite little idol, then there will be no shortage of loyalty and activity.
This is the fundamental purpose of this program.
More than half of these people who came to participate in the draft are newcomers who have been trained by the company for a long time and are ready to debut at any time. But after all, there are too many newcomers in the entertainment industry. This method, which is similar to raising Gu, can quickly select idols who are most suitable for the market and the taste of the audience.
Whenever she saw the hard training of these players day after day, Mei Zihan would feel that her years of acting in Leiju were not so pitiful.
Because there are still many people who don't even have the chance to act in Lei's drama.
Now, Mei Zihan finally has such a slight liking for this talent show.
At least this show is generally fair, and it gives almost as many shots to each contestant. Although the shots will be biased due to the audience's choice in the later stage, at least in the early stage, it still treats everyone equally.
It doesn't matter if you want to treat everyone equally. Behind these players are the studios of major companies. It's hard to favor anyone, and they are all equal.
One hundred into sixty, at the beginning of the recording of the program, these one hundred contestants danced a giant dance together.
Each of them wears a delicate and beautiful mask on their face, their faces cannot be seen clearly, and they simply dance to attract the audience's attention.
Sometimes, not showing your face is more attractive to people's attention.
Mei Zihan and several other judges watched it with gusto.
However, at the end of the performance, the hundred contestants suddenly stood up and said in unison, "I wish Mentor Mei's "The Shit Shoveler" a big hit at the box office, and we will always support you."
Not only Mei Zihan was stunned, but the judges around him, the director and staff of the program group were also too surprised to speak.
Obviously, this is an event that was not known to the program crew in advance.
Because the talent show was broadcast simultaneously, when Mei Zihan was the tutor of the show, he didn't have the time to take out his phone to check his box office results.
However, when he came to participate in this talent show, he had already seen that his "Shit Shovel Officer" had already reached 90 million at the box office.
Coincidentally, when these one hundred students chanted congratulatory slogans in front of countless viewers who watched the show, the box office performance of "Shit Shovel Officer" just equaled that of "One Billion Robbery". Both are 120 million.
By the time the show was over, "The Shit Shoveler" had already overtaken by a slight margin.
No matter how powerful the marketing is, it can't compare to word of mouth from relatives and friends.
Watching a movie is never a one-person thing. Most of the time watching a movie is to invite friends. As long as one of these people has watched "The Shit Shovel Officer", they will all recommend this interesting movie.
There have been countless movies that have counterattacked at the box office, and almost all of them are word-of-mouth effects.
But Mei Zihan doesn't have the heart to care about these box office right now, because he knows that his movie will surpass "One Billion Robbery" one day.
He is more concerned about these one hundred students now.
The oldest of these contestants is only 20 years old, and the youngest is only 16 years old. They are still very young and have not officially entered the entertainment circle, so when they secretly want to surprise their mentors, there is actually no Considering too many things.
Looking at the bright smiling faces of these students, Mei Zihan suddenly realized that her popularity wasn't that bad.
