Chapter 289 Winning the Battle
But netizens don’t have so many concerns.
They expressed their concerns and opinions through social media.
"The cinema chain is so dishonest! The attendance rate of Love Is Not Blind is still so high, why did they reduce the screening schedule?"
"Such an operation is simply inviting a wolf into the house!"
“Can domestic films resist Hollywood blockbusters?”
"Love Is Not Blind" should gradually fade out of the mainstream.
"I can only say that Chen Ge's film has greatly exceeded my expectations."
"Well, although I support Brother Chen emotionally, in reality, I still prefer watching Hollywood blockbusters!"
"Love Is Not Blind" is already on the decline, so please stop forcing it!"
"Brother Chen's first film has achieved such great success. I have no regrets!"
“…”
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were sitting in Su Chen's office at this time.
The Zhong brothers were in a very depressed mood.
Zhong Lei: "We have already communicated with all major theaters."
"But they are only willing to schedule so little."
Su Chen smiled faintly:
"nothing."
“The cinemas will continue to adjust.”
Perhaps it is fate that, in this time and space, "Love Is Not Blind" still meets "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel".
However, in the past life, this movie could beat the two Hollywood blockbusters mentioned above. Now, after a series of fermentation, with the momentum going in a positive direction, Su Chen is even less afraid of these two opponents.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun didn't understand what Su Chen meant for a moment.
After a few seconds of silence.
Then it dawned on me.
Xiaochen, is this to say that "Love is Not Blind" will beat "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel"?
Will the film schedule increase again?
But, is such a thing possible?
As veteran filmmakers, they know very well that domestic films have basically never won against Hollywood films.
Unless you come across a Hollywood bad movie.
But the two movies, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel", are obviously not bad movies.
But okay, at this time, they obviously cannot undermine Su Chen's confidence.
Zhong Jun:
"We will continue to put pressure on major theaters. At the same time, we will continue to maintain the highest standards of publicity."
After a movie is released, the most profitable period is the first two weeks.
If you don't make an effort now, when will you make an effort?
Su Chen just nodded and said nothing more.
Su Chen does not deny that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel" are two excellent movies.
But he doesn't think that his movie will be squeezed out.
Wyatt, the director of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", has been paying close attention to the film's release in China.
In recent years, the Chinese region has become a major box office for the global film market. Whether a movie can make money depends, to a large extent, on the response of the Chinese film market, and he cannot help but care about it.
When ten o'clock arrives, booking of movie tickets for the ten o'clock movie starts.
Wyatt immediately focused his attention on the ticket booking data of major theaters.
The official websites of all major cinema chains have English versions, so Wyatt will not have any difficulty reading them.
What makes Wyatt happy is that the attendance rate of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" at 10:30pm slot in all major theaters has reached over 45%!
This is a very gratifying result.
You know, it's early morning, which is the quietest time period for movie theaters.
At this point in time, we can achieve such a high attendance rate. It is foreseeable that the attendance rate will be even more explosive during the prime time.
After looking at the data of his own movie, Wyatt turned his attention to his main competitor, "Real Steel".
Yes, in Wyatt’s opinion, even in the first week of the release of Suchen’s “Love Is Not Blind”, the data was astonishing.
However, that was achieved without any comparison.
There is no harm without comparison.
Wyatt feels that the audience’s lack of choice led to the extremely high box office of Suchen’s film.
Now, with the addition of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel", Wyatt feels that Suchen's movies can be simply ignored.
However, the next second, Wyatt was lost.
Because the attendance rate of "Real Steel" reached 50%!
Alas, Spielberg’s movies are indeed a mountain.
In the local market, the box office of his movie lags behind that of "Real Steel".
Unexpectedly, even after arriving in China, it seems that my film still cannot change its fate.
Alas, Wyatt was quite speechless at this moment.
On the other side of the distant ocean.
Spielberg is also quietly following the release of his own films.
"good."
After seeing the attendance of "Real Steel" in the morning slot, Spielberg smiled with satisfaction.
It seems that my box office appeal in China is still as high as ever.
Spielberg is quite confident about this.
He knew that he already had a large number of loyal fans in China.
Every movie that enters the Chinese market can achieve impressive box office results.
Of course.
Spielberg also noticed that in China, a movie became extremely popular last week.
With curiosity.
Spielberg checked the sales of Su Chen's "Love Is Not Blind".
I hope the attendance of this movie doesn’t take a drastic dive.
He knew very well that if it had not happened to his "Real Steel" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", Su Chen's "Love is Not Blind" would have continued to be popular for a longer time.
Alas, poor fellow!
Who told him not to check other people's schedules before releasing his film?
China’s cinema chains are really something.
Too protective!
It’s already the second week of its release, but they still gave 35% of the screening time to “Love Is Not Blind”.
And his "Real Steel" only got 30% of the screenings!
This is simply blind xenophobia!
So, thinking of this, Spielberg suddenly felt that Su Chen was not pitiful at all.
Just an overprotected, hothouse flower.
Its fate is to completely wither under the destruction of its own "Real Steel"!
But, the next second.
Spielberg's smile froze instantly!
100%!
The attendance rate of Su Chen’s “Love Is Not Blind” was 100%!
This...how is it possible!
What's more, Spielberg couldn't believe it even more.
This is the total attendance rate of Su Chen's movie in all major theaters in China, not just the attendance rate of a certain cinema!
Does such a thing exist in this world?
At this moment, Spielberg couldn't help but doubt his life!
Such a result shocked all the senior executives of major cinema chains!
At this moment, they only felt that their faces were burning from being hit.
Just an hour ago, they made the decision to reduce the screening schedule of "Love Is Not Blind".
Because they have always believed that Su Chen's movie has already consumed more than half of its energy, and the box office will definitely decline gradually in the future.
A 35% screening ratio is already very high.
You know, this screening ratio is higher than that of two Hollywood blockbusters, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel".
They felt that this was already extra care for Su Chen's film.
However, the results are now out.
The attendance rate of "Love is Not Blind" far surpassed those of two Hollywood blockbusters, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel"!
Among them, the movie with the highest attendance rate, "Real Steel", was only 50%!
They're not even on the same level, okay!
Looking at this situation.
Lv Shoudong made a prompt decision and immediately gave instructions to the film scheduling manager:
“Starting from the next show, immediately restore the screening schedule of Love Is Not Blind to 50%!”
Lu Shoudong never expected this.
The staying power of Su Chen's movie is surprisingly strong.
It would be unforgivable not to make good use of "Love Is Not Blind" to make more money!
at the same time.
All major cinema chains in China have almost unanimously increased the screening schedule of "Love Is Not Blind".
This change immediately caused a sensation on the entire Internet.
Su Chen’s fans simply felt that they had won a battle.
“Hahaha…see? This is the lethality of our Brother Chen’s movies. Ghosts will be killed, and gods will be killed!”
"So what if it's a Hollywood blockbuster? Even in front of Love Is Not Blind, it has to bow down obediently!"
"The special effects team of Avatar, Spielberg, is really awesome! However, their opponent is the half-human, half-god, Su Chen!"
“…”
People in the entertainment industry couldn't believe their eyes at this moment.
In the past, domestic high-quality films have achieved box office success even when competing against Hollywood bad films.
But in their impression, a film like "Love Is Not Blind", which was able to win against a Hollywood blockbuster, has never happened.
What is even more incredible is...
Despite leading in the screening ratio, the attendance rate of "Love Is Not Blind" unexpectedly won a crushing victory!
For a while, many celebrities in the entertainment industry could no longer remain calm.
They all stood up and expressed their views.
"Brother Chen, the light of domestic films!"
"This is the most proud domestic film I have ever seen!"
“I dare to predict that in the second week, the box office champion will most likely still be Love Is Not Blind!”
"Spielberg's movies are so irresistible in front of Brother Chen. This is really dreamy!"
“…”
At this time, the situation is actually very clear!
No matter how big the Hollywood DreamWorks productions are, no matter how top the world's special effects teams are, no matter how top the world's producers and directors are, they cannot compare to the Chinese people's love for Su Chen's movies!
If we don't take the initiative now and take advantage of Su Chen's popularity, when will we?
"Boss Zhong, look!"
When hearing the assistant's reminder, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were still evaluating the next marketing plan for the film.
"The attendance rate of Love Is Not Blind surpassed that of two Hollywood blockbusters!"
“…”
At this moment, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were stunned for a few seconds.
Because, in their perception, this is impossible.
Is this true?
With huge doubts, they quickly logged into the official websites of major cinema chains.
As soon as I saw it, I couldn't help but cheer.
Sure enough, with a screening ratio of 35%, the attendance rate of "Love Is Not Blind" reached an incredible 100%!
If they weren't watching, if they weren't trying to act like a boss, they would have jumped for joy.
This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of domestic films!
At that moment, they couldn't help but run to Su Chen excitedly.
"Xiao Chen, have you seen the attendance rate of Love Is Not Blind?"
Zhong Lei said to Su Chen with a smile on his face.
Looking at Su Chen playing the "Polar Bear Cube" game as if nothing had happened, Zhong Jun felt that Su Chen might not have noticed the dynamics on the Internet.
However, Su Chen nodded.
“I have.”
“…”
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were stunned at the same time!
Damn, are you kidding me?
Now that you have seen the data of "Love Is Not Blind", how can you be so calm?
You know, whether it's the attendance in the second week of release or the fact that it surpassed two Hollywood blockbusters, the achievements made are enough to leave a strong mark in the film and television industry.
So, Zhong Lei asked tentatively:
"What is the film scheduling ratio? What is the attendance rate?"
Zhong Lei felt that Su Chen might be absorbed in playing the game again and was answering perfunctorily.
Su Chen didn't even raise his head:
"The screening ratio is 35%, and the attendance rate is 100%. This is normal!"
Last week, the screening ratio reached 80% and the attendance rate reached 75%.
Now that the screening ratio is so low, the attendance rate will definitely be higher.
Any questions?
“…”
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were stunned again.
Well, then...it seems like we have nothing more to say.
Thinking of Su Chen's previous statement, the Zhong brothers suddenly felt that Su Chen seemed to have some foresight.
Just when they were worried that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel" would deal a fatal blow to "Love is Not Blind", Su Chen calmly stated that the screening schedule would be adjusted back.
That's the case now. The attendance rate is so outrageously high that all major cinema chains will definitely increase the screening schedule again.
Zhong Jun thought of another problem at this time.
"Xiao Chen, how much do you think the box office will be in the second week?"
Yes, Zhong Jun really wanted to hear this calm prophet’s prediction about the box office.
Su Chen thought about it.
This question is not easy to answer.
“It should be not much less than the first week.”
In the end, Su Chen could only give a vague answer.
Because the specific number is really hard to calculate.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun looked at each other and said nothing more.
Because although they really hope that what Su Chen said can come true, years of experience tell them that this is unlikely.
After a movie is released, there is no doubt that the box office is the highest in the first week. In the second week, the box office will decline significantly. In the third and fourth weeks, it is just a matter of making money.
This is an eternal law.
Well, I hope Xiaochen’s movie can break the laws of physics on this planet.
In fact, this is also the general view of the outside world on "Love Is Not Blind".
How can a movie that has already passed its box office peak withstand the combined stranglehold of two Hollywood blockbusters?
Perhaps, on the first day, relying on the feelings of the Chinese people, "Love Is Not Blind" can create an amazing box office.
But with the popularity of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Real Steel".
Su Chen's movies will eventually fall into the embarrassing situation of lack of stamina.
