    "What? Are they kidding? This is an annual blockbuster from Hollywood! What Chinese people love to watch most!" I heard from my subordinates that except for the guaranteed 8,000 premiere day screenings, all theaters can no longer continue.  Adding to the film schedule for Warner's new movie "Edge of Tomorrow", Albert instantly felt like his head was going to be full of anger.  When I was chatting and communicating with the people in charge of these theaters, they didn¡¯t have this attitude at all!  ¡°This may have been the case in the past, but there have been some accidents recently.¡± As he spoke, a staff member handed a translated newspaper to Albert.  I saw a huge title marked on it, ""The Sinking Kingdom" - an audio-visual feast of Chinese domestic science fiction movies." According to the introduction above, this local Chinese film work was previously treated with great contempt by Albert.  , after receiving 46 million in box office on its opening day, in the following week, the performance in all aspects improved almost every day by 90 degrees.  It exceeded 100 million in two days, 200 million in four days, and 500 million in seven days Just yesterday, the single-day box office of "Sink Country" just exceeded 93 million, once again winning the record for the highest single-day box office of the year, and also breaking the record set by "‡å‡å"  ¡± set a record of the highest single-day box office for a domestic film with 91 million.  Based on the current popularity of this work and the gradually expanding positive word-of-mouth effect, whether in the eyes of theaters or ordinary audiences, its strength is still in the stage of rising and explosive, and it is far from being fully demonstrated.  Therefore, even if there are still a bunch of imported blockbusters waiting to be released, it is for the benefit that is within reach.  Almost all theater chains have chosen to extend the release date of "Sunken Kingdom".  Increase the number of slices as much as possible.  This undoubtedly also suppressed the screening scale of other movies.  Usually the release date for a movie is one to two weeks, but depending on the popularity of the work in front of you, a group of mainstream theaters represented by Ada and China Film, which account for more than 80% of the country's screens, even  The screening date of "Sunken Kingdom" was directly planned to one month later, until the end of August.  ¡°After getting off to a good start with its premiere, and with the good word-of-mouth publicity and the second wave of strong promotion from Blue Grass Media, the average daily screenings of ¡°The Sinking Kingdom¡± nationwide reached nearly 30,000, with an average attendance rate of 55% throughout the day.  Above. Analysts pointed out that although Hollywood blockbusters have strong visual impact, their weak storytelling and "value vacuum" are fatal, and many viewers will inevitably suffer from aesthetic fatigue. However, there is a lack of sci-fi films in the mainland, especially those that dare to be released in the summer season.  There is no trace of competition with Western blockbusters for the market. Faced with the down-to-earth domestic genre films and the "August 1st Gift" gimmick, the audience has shown unprecedented enthusiasm. As for how long the viewing craze for "The Sinking Kingdom" can last.  , it depends on whether "Edge of Tomorrow" and "X-Men Origins 2", which will be released in early August, can divert the audience in large numbers" Resisting the urge to shout "shit", Albert read with an almost gloomy face.  Finished the relevant news in the newspaper.  However, when he saw that the rise of "Sink Country" was caricatured as the decline of Hollywood, he could no longer hold it back.  He yelled angrily, "It's all farts!" "Actually, you don't have to be too angry. Other film companies are in the same situation as us in this matter." Seeing that the distribution executive had the urge to run away, the staff on the sidelines  Immediately persuaded, "Not only us, Paramount, which is responsible for the release of "Transformers 4", and "Jurassic Park," which has been delayed from June to now, are also facing the same trouble, and their investment will be required.  Much bigger than us." "Don't compare us with them. Warner has been preparing for this work for four years! How could it be lost to an unknown entertainment company like this?" Albert is still angry, but at the moment  I really can't find any solution to the problem.  As a businessman from a capitalist country, he understands that this is completely the result of the market's automatic pursuit of profit and the survival of the fittest. It cannot be deliberately manipulated by anyone, unless he can make those theaters see more profitable movies.  direction, otherwise asking the other party to let go at this time would be simply a fantasy.  ¡°But I really couldn¡¯t give it in. The summer golden opportunity that I had been eyeing just flew away like a cooked duck.  "Inform our partners that the release of "Edge of Tomorrow" will be postponed for a week." Afterwards, a tangled and angry Albert seemed to have chosen to compromise. He turned to the staff around him and ordered, "Then continue to go to those theaters.  Negotiate and see if we can return to the previously agreed-upon schedule. "Also go and book a movie ticket for me. I want to watch this movie in person." I have always faced it with a condescending attitude.  ?It was only now that he remembered this movie. He didn't seem to even know what kind of movie it was.  Seeing that he could not use the most direct means to hinder the rapid development of this work, Albert could only choose to observe his opponent and figure out where the opponent was stronger As the Warner distributor said, at this moment, the person responsible for "  Paramount Pictures' "Transformers 4" is also caught in a heated discussion.  In order for this work to be successfully launched in China, Paramount, which is responsible for the film's distribution, even included the cctv6 film and television channel as a production partner to jointly operate and promote it. In order to attract Chinese audiences as much as possible, some Chinese movie stars were also specially invited to the film.  Participate in the filming.  However, now they are facing a trouble they never thought of, and that is "Sunken Kingdom" which has occupied almost all theater screening rooms.  If it were another imported science fiction film, there would be no pressure at all on Transformation 4. Both the production staff and the distributors would have enough confidence to beat the competition. However, for a film that has a strong appeal and is still being released strongly,  Paramount is still a little hesitant about Chinese local works.  To this end, they even started an impromptu movie viewing survey to ask Chinese audiences about their willingness to watch movies.  After seeing that more than 50% of the people who responded to the questionnaire chose "more looking forward to watching "The Sunken Kingdom"", this film and television group, which has always regarded China as the second largest gold-making land, finally made a decision with Albert  The same choice is to postpone the release of "Transformers 4" to the end of August.  Compared with the unpreparedness of these foreign giants, domestic media company giants such as Huayi Brothers did not have such worries - they had already prepared for the screening in advance based on their understanding of aacc, a local company, when they saw the trailer.  , either advanced or postponed, and voluntarily gave up the competition for the summer slot in August, so it did not suffer much loss.  "Congratulations on the great sale!" "Keep up the good work and hit new highs!" In the phantom special effects room, a dozen wine glasses were raised high amidst cheers, and everyone was celebrating the breakthrough achievements of "Sunken Kingdom"  .  At this time, the words "Phantom Special Effects Room" that were originally suspended in the air were replaced with a series of numbers such as "540,000,000", showing the increasing cumulative box office performance of "Sunken Kingdom".  "I really didn't expect that our first film would achieve such results. It seems that all the efforts we made were worth it." Looking up at the string of numbers above, Hai Ming, the leader of the special effects team, couldn't help but burst into tears.  , as an illegal hacker who was once imprisoned for cyber-technology crimes, he seemed to have really found his true value from this series of numbers.  Like Haiming, the other technical hackers who were "accommodated" by AACC were also excited at this time.  Although it was expected that this film would bring a different experience to the audience, when they saw the scene of achieving results and breaking records, everyone seemed to have discovered a meaningful new future.  "Everyone's bonuses have been paid to your bank accounts. As a sincere thank you for everyone's dedication, I have prepared an extra gift for you outside the door." With that, Li Mo threw a key on the table.  .  "Wow~" When they saw that what their boss put on the table was a car key with a Mercedes-Benz logo, almost everyone froze on the spot, and then another burst of cheers broke out, accompanied by "  All kinds of passionate noises such as "Long live aacc" and "Long live Mr. Li".  Achieving results is an honor, but after all, physical rewards are more real. Faced with such additional rewards, everyone almost has the same idea - they will never leave AACC again in this life.  After such a long period of development, Li Mo has long understood the art of rewards. Only by providing sufficient benefits and encouragement to his subordinates will they work more loyally for the company.  Therefore, in addition to paying out the salary and bonuses agreed in the previous contract, Li Mo also gave each of these core members a Mercedes-Benz car worth one million as a means of transportation in Sichuan Province.  And the money to buy a car comes from the current box office profits.  ¡ª¡ªCompared with other big-budget movies that require a box office of over 100 million or even hundreds of millions to earn back the cost and start to make a profit, as a special effects movie completed with pure indoor technology, not counting the investment of an energy factory as an independent industry, "The Sinking Kingdom" has various  The investment is only about 50 million, and a large part of it is used for actors' salaries.  In other words, on the premiere day, Li Mo basically earned back the investment cost of this movie, and almost all of the 500 million box office earned in the subsequent period was pure profit, and if nothing else, this kind of pure profitThe situation will last for more than half a month.  In Li Mo¡¯s opinion, it is also necessary to use a small part of the hundreds of millions of profits to reward these core members.  Just when everyone was immersed in the surprise of receiving an unexpected huge reward, Lu Siming, who came after him, said hello and squeezed through the crowd, walked to Li Mo, and whispered in his ear, "The first batch of  Thirty film crews who have passed the application have arrived at our Phantom Manor film and television base, followed by a large number of journalists and tourists.
