Chen Sicheng's worries are not groundless, but based on facts:
"As far as I know, this time the theaters have given 35.6% of the film schedule to "Monster Hunt 2".
As the highlight of the past years, the Spring Festival file is a battleground for military strategists. Generally speaking, a movie will not be given a particularly high filming rate. Even for Master Xing's "Mermaid", the theaters only gave 33.7% of the filming schedule. In the previous life, "Volunteering Demons" only gave 33.5%.
The pattern of the Spring Festival stalls this time can be said to be "two super and many strong", which is vividly reflected in the film arrangement.
"Monster Hunt 2" won 35.6% of the filming in one fell swoop, and "Tang Detective 2" followed closely with 35.1% of the filming. In this way, the first two films accounted for more than 70% of the filming, and the remaining three This new film can only share some leftovers.
Of the few cakes left, "Journey to the West" took more than half of it across the board, taking 17.5%; "Generation" naturally became a victim, and only got 2.9% of the film schedule, which is basically cannon fodder treatment!
This was unexpected by everyone. After all, "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" is a guest star of half a popular star in the entertainment industry. The cast lineup is not inferior to any Spring Festival such as "Tang Detective 2" and "Monster Hunt 2". For a blockbuster movie, with only such a small number of films scheduled, it means that Lao Guo has already been sentenced to death by the theaters before it is released.
In fact, it is not to blame for the ruthlessness of the theaters, mainly because the pre-sale box office of this movie is only 10.55 million!
Not to mention "Monster Hunt 2" and "Tang Detective 2", which sold nearly 300 million in the same period, "Naughty Girl" has more than 80 million, and even "Bears" has more than 40 million.
Exactly how many people want to see this new film is clear at the pre-sale box office! If there are only a few people who want to watch your movie, then of course the theater chain cannot make a loss.
Why are "Tang Detective 2" and "Monster Hunt 2" so high? Isn't it mainly because the pre-sale results of these two films are exceptionally outstanding?
Seeing that Chen Sicheng was worried because of "Monster Hunt 2", Wang Baoqiang immediately grabbed Yuan Hua's shoulder and said with a smile:
"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Forty percent, you should have more confidence in our "Tang Detective 2". After all, we still have Mr. Yuan, so what's the point of "Monster Hunt 2"!"
"Come on, don't put a high hat on me!" Yuan Hua turned his head and pushed him back, Wang Baoqiang smiled and let go.
However, since the words have already been said here, Yuan Hua doesn't mind pretending by the way:
"No kidding, I've seen "Monster Hunt 2", they definitely can't beat us!"
Ok, this wave is stable!
As soon as Yuan Hua opened his mouth, Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that Yuan Hua was not a person who talked freely, especially when it comes to judging the box office of movies, his words still carry a lot of weight
Feeling relieved, Chen Sicheng couldn't help telling the truth to Yuan Hua:
"I haven't been able to calm down these days, mainly because the word-of-mouth of "Tang Detective 2" is far less than our last one"
The Douban score of the first part of "Tang Detective" is 7.7 points, the second part is 6.6, and the third part is 5.3. It can be said that "Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year is not as good as every year".
To be honest, "Tang Detective 2" did receive a lot of criticism during the screening period, but it's not that this movie is really that bad! The main reason is that the tone of the first film was set high, and Chen Sicheng raised the audience's expectations too high, so the second film was naturally difficult to satisfy everyone.
To be fair, as a domestic comedy, the second part of "Tang Detective" is actually not bad, but not as good as the first one.
The core competitiveness of the "Tang Detective" series is "reasoning + comedy". The two major selling points in the first part are well balanced and complement each other; the second part is a bit too funny and weakens the reasoning part, so it seems top-heavy .
In addition, compared with the previous one, many of the jokes in "Tang Detective 2" are a bit far-fetched and awkward, not as natural as the first one.
The first part of "Tang Detective" is because everyone did not expect it to be such a movie, and it is because there is no expectation at all, so it feels full of surprises; , If you raise your psychological expectations, you will naturally feel that it is not good enough.
"It doesn't matter, we're just not good enough, maybe others won't even be able to pass!"
Yuan Hua continued to say pointedly: "We don't need to run faster than the bear, as long as we run faster than our companions!"
Indeed, "Tang Detective 2" still has a Douban score of at least 6.6, and "Monster Hunt 2" doesn't even have a score of 5.Only 4.9! "Journey to the West" is even less worth mentioning, only 4.4. Not to mention "The Nineteen Generations of Ancestors", 4.2!
Although 6.6 points is not too high, it is obviously more than enough to deal with the three of them.
As for the remaining "Bear Infested. Metamorphosis", the score of 6.8 points is only satisfactory. In addition, this is a children's cartoon, and the audience does not overlap. It is impossible to pose a substantial threat to "Tang Detective 2". .
Now that this schedule has lost the 8.2 points of "Operation Red Sea" to steal the limelight, "Tang Detective 2" has naturally become the king of word-of-mouth in this schedule, and its competitiveness has taken a big step forward invisibly.
Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang understood Yuan Hua's hint at once. After all, basically all Spring Festival movies have held roadshow screenings, and word-of-mouth has also been released one after another. In this Spring Festival movie, "Tang Detective 2" has no Take the lead without any suspense.
I have to say, it all depends on the background of my peers! I thought that this year's Spring Festival stalls would be a competition between heroes, but who would have thought that in the end it would be pecking at each other.
Chen Sicheng was still a little worried about "Monster Hunt 2", including Wang Baoqiang, who was actually a little guilty, but seeing Yuan Hua pointing Jiangshan so confidently, the two of them were also deeply touched, and their confidence in "Tang Detective 2" greatly increased!
In the end, Chen Sicheng also specially thanked Yuan Hua: "I have never had a chance before. Here I have to thank Liu Haoran of our company. Thank you for giving him the opportunity to star in "The Best of Us". It can be regarded as having its own representative work!"
The youth drama "The Best of Us" starring Liu Haoran and Tan Songyun landed on Kiwi last summer, once again polishing the golden signboard of online dramas produced by Huazhang Film and Television, breaking the "youth drama must be dog blood" and "IP drama flooding" Bottleneck, conquered the hearts of countless audiences with its plain plot and sophisticated production. No matter fans of the original book or passers-by audiences, they were full of praise. The Douban score was as high as 8.9, and the two leading actors also gained fame.
The only pity is that at that time, because "Wolf Warrior 2" broke the domestic box office record, this hot spot was so eye-catching, so most of the attention was sucked away, so although this drama won a lot of praise, it did not. It can be a big hit, but it is true that there are some fly in the ointment.
Yuan Hua waved his hand: "Don't be polite, the main reason is that his personal image and temperament are quite suitable for this role, so this is also a win-win situation."
"Anyway, I still have to thank you for taking the trouble!"
It's fine to listen to this, of course Chen Sicheng can't take it seriously, of course he deserves this love. Yu Hua is just a high school student, as long as the age is right, who can't act? It's not that there are no suitable candidates for artists under Yuan Hua's banner. Such good biscuits should be distributed to outsiders. The reason why Yuan Hua chose him is not to sell his own face.
