They were all newcomers. Although Ning Xi had starred in "The World", it was only this one work, and the fan loyalty was not high. Moreover, it had been such a long time since she released a new work, and the span of the subject matter was so wide, the effect on the box office was almost negligible.
"Just continue to do the regular promotion as planned. I will find a way to solve the scheduling problem at the theater." Shen Mian said, looking relatively calm.
Since he was prepared to take this path, he had naturally foreseen everything that was happening now.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that the situation was not optimistic.
The screening rate of Zheng Kangde's film is astonishingly high, almost occupying the entire market. It is harder than climbing to the sky to carve out a path out of it...
Although no one said it, everyone was inevitably a little discouraged.
They all know that the quality of their film is far better than Zheng Kangde's film, but in today's film market, film quality seems to no longer be the key to box office success...
No one knows this better than director Shen Mian.
It was precisely because of this that Ning Xi admired Shen Mian's desperate decision even more...
…
In the past, Shen Mian’s films were sought after by all major theaters, and even though the performance in recent years has not been very optimistic, the screening rate has never been lower than 30%.
However, this time, without the big names and powerful investors as the backers, the final screening rate was less than 10%. Several theaters even had a screening rate of only 5%, and all of them were dull shows before noon and after 10 p.m.
This was the result that Shen Mian achieved after personally making many efforts.
The day of the premiere of "Dream Seekers" has finally arrived.
Ning Xi checked the major cinemas in the capital and found that the screening times were almost all in the morning and at night.
Finally, Ning Xi bought a movie ticket for the 22:00 movie.
Because it was so late, there were only a few people left in the cinema.
Most of these people went to watch "I Only Like You". Since the two dramas have the same subject matter, the audience will naturally choose the more popular one.
At this moment, a man and a woman are discussing something in front of the movie poster of "I Only Like You".
"Baby, why not watch this one? There are a lot of big names in it, and I heard it's quite funny!" the man suggested.
The girl grumbled, seeming a little reluctant, "No... I don't like Liang Biqin! She's too pretentious! And her men's clothing is so shocking!"
"Really? I feel fine!"
"Anyway, I don't want to watch a stupid movie! Watch it yourself if you want!"
"Then what to watch? There are no good movies at this time..."
"Let me see... Um, Dream Seekers? Starring Ning Xi, Shen Hanchen... I haven't heard of it! But... WTF! The male lead in this poster is so damn handsome! He's exactly my type! That look... That temperament... Let's just look at this!"
The poster of "Dream Chaser" shows a man and a woman, but in reality, the man is not the protagonist, but Ning Xi.
One is Ning Xi in men's clothing, and the other is Ning Xi in women's clothing. If you don't know, you would indeed misunderstand that one is the male protagonist and the other is the female protagonist.
The man seemed a little speechless, "But this seems to be a stupid drama..."
"Stop talking nonsense. It's the same stupid drama. The lead actor is handsome, so at least it's pleasing to the eyes!"
