Chapter 467(1/2)
Double the film schedule
After this picture of Xu Cheng became popular on Weibo, there were many people in the comment area on the official blog of Aite Luomo Studio and the official blog of Tongguang Studio.
The two studios quickly noticed the picture and liked it one after another.
After liking it, the popularity of the picture soared even higher.
Things got better now, and many painters saw that Teacher Xu Cheng had made a good start and immediately followed suit.
Some are doing it for the sake of popularity, and some are just like Xu Cheng, who want to do something for "The Return of the Great Sage".
In other words, I feel that I must do something.
Early in the morning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, He Yuanguang specially sent Xu Cheng a WeChat message to express his gratitude.
The two have known each other for five or six years, but have never been very familiar with each other.
What surprised Xu Cheng was that just this morning, an investor who was previously unwilling to invest money in him called him and expressed his willingness to invest a certain amount of money in his animation project.
“Did you see the potential of the domestic market?”
“Is it because of the popularity of yesterday’s picture?”
Xu Cheng didn't know, and he didn't ask any more questions.
All he knows is that the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" is really changing the entire domestic animation market!
"All of us owe Luo Mo a huge favor!"
……..
……..
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Mo and others had been waiting for a long time.
Because starting from today, the film schedule of "The Return of the Great Sage" will begin to be adjusted.
To be honest, many movie theaters actually think that Luo Mo is a bit stubborn and a bit aloof.
When we discussed various conditions with his studio earlier, this person was a bit unsophisticated, unwilling to make too many concessions, and didn't know how to bow his head.
But, so what?
Isn't it better to obediently increase the amount of tablets arranged for him?
There is no other way, who would have trouble with money?
"Across the Future", which stars Song Ge, the Water Emperor, suffered a major cut in its film schedule, with a direct drop of 4.7%.
The movie's schedule dropped below 10%, and 80% of the parts that were cut were supplied for "The Return of the Monkey King".
Moreover, this was only the first blow.
If the box office and reputation of "Into the Future" continue to decline, what awaits it will be a second, more ruthless blow!
On the contrary, the film schedule of "Bear Wars", which is also a major animation movie, has not changed much.
One reason is to take care of the younger market. This is the only movie this year that is purely for children.
Another reason is that because "The Return of the Great Sage" is hard to get a ticket for, many parents, after failing to get tickets, face their children's crying and can only choose a replacement first...
"Don't cry. Let's take you to see "Battle of the Bears" today, okay? Monkey King, let's go see it tomorrow. I've bought the tickets. Let's watch it for two days at a time and wipe away the tears!"
The director of "Battle of the Bears" never dreamed that there would be such diversion...
This also enabled the film's box office to successfully exceed 100 million on its fourth day of release.
However, its reputation in the adult market is very average.
The director was also very aggrieved by this.
"You can't come to see our "Battle of the Bears" with expectations just because you feel you're not satisfied after watching "The Return of the Great Sage", right?"
"Judging from the title, it's definitely not the type you want to see!"
"You still scold me after reading this. How innocent I am."
However, this also inspired the ambition that the director had always hidden deep in his heart.
"Is it...time to make an anime movie that is suitable for all ages, or even just for adult audiences?"
In addition to these two movies, there is another movie that has also seen a major change in its schedule.
This phenomenon is both unexpected and reasonable.
That is currently the highest-grossing movie during the Spring Festival - "Casino Game"!
This gambling film continues the classic style of previous Baodao gambling films.
The early stage of the show was very popular and the audience’s expectations were also very high.
But word of mouth has fallen into polarization.
Some people feel nostalgic and feel that the smell is still there.
And some people think it fucking sucks.
Judging from the box office curve and attendance curve, this movie is steadily declining.
The reputation is getting worse and worse, and many viewers don't buy it. They feel that the filming is messy and confusing.
The cumulative box office of "Casino Game" is 80% likely to exceed 1 billion today.
But the theater chain still made a small cut, cutting the film schedule from 33% to 30%.
Because "Dragon Detective", which ranks second at the box office, has a very good reputation. Although the single-day box office is not as high as "The Return of the Monkey King", it can still rise, but it is extremely stable.
I have to say that the market for suspense themes in China has been really good in recent years, and audiences are quite fond of it.
If you watch a movie with this kind of theme in a theater, the audio-visual effect will be better, the excitement will be stronger, and the atmosphere will be fuller.
The equipment in the cinema is conducive to the immersive experience of the audience.
Therefore, its film placement increased from 26.8% to 30.2%.
The movie currently ranked third at the box office also saw a 3% cut.
This also makes "The Return of the Monkey King" the movie with the highest increase in film schedules, which can be said to have doubled to 14%!
Doubling growth is almost rarely seen in these years.
This has caused many people in the film industry to talk about the movie.
"The most terrible thing is that this is the first time it has been raised."
"In other words, if its subsequent box office performance is ideal..."
“The film schedule will definitely increase!”
Facts have proved that "The Return of the Great Sage" really has an effect similar to hunger marketing.
In the past few days, many people on the Internet have been complaining that this movie has too few releases.
Many people go to the movies, but it doesn’t mean that they will feel satisfied just after buying a ticket.
Because there are many seats in the cinema, it is not a comfortable viewing area.
For example, for tall people, sitting in the first few rows is tiring.
If there are more movies scheduled, it will be easier to grab good seats.
So, amid all the complaints, the film schedule of "The Return of the Great Sage" has finally increased significantly. What will be the consequences of this?
Many people will feel like they have won.
My requirements were met.
Our voices are heard.
This is also a wonderful feeling on a psychological level.
It will drive some people to flock to the theater.
At the same time, "The Return of the Great Sage" itself has a magical power, which will make some viewers take the initiative to go to the theater for a second time, or even a third time and a fourth time!
For these people, if they can't buy tickets, they may give up.
But if you have enough tickets, then go and have fun again.
Nothing else, I just want to see this horse-faced monkey melt stone into armor and use flames to make a robe!
"What are you waiting for! Charge!"
"Monkey, monkey!"
"Monkey army, come on!"
"Great Sage, I will grab tickets to support you!"
"I have no other purpose. I just don't know why. There are so many beautiful ladies in this movie theater!"
"Yes, yes, there are many handsome young men!"
The increase in the number of films scheduled, as well as the people's great enthusiasm for watching movies, made Luo Mo a little excited.
