Chapter 194 This movie is really... rotten(1/3)
How to suppress the popularity of your next movie?
There are undoubtedly many ways.
The key depends on what makes that movie so popular.
"Crazy Stone" undoubtedly relies on word of mouth.
So if Orange Media wants to suppress the popularity, it will naturally start with word of mouth.
Hire trolls and bribe film critics to criticize.
Discrediting competitors is common in the entertainment industry.
However, can "Crazy Stone" be dark?
Disaster!
Of course, it is difficult to criticize, not because the film has a good reputation and cannot be criticized.
Three people become tigers.
People's mouths make gold, but accumulation destroys bones.
How many movies are there that cannot be hacked?
The reason why it cannot be hacked is because the investors of "Crazy Stone" are not at the mercy of others.
Perhaps the investment in this movie is not large, but the recent popularity makes Wansheng Film and Television feel that it has the potential to explode.
Naturally, Wansheng Film and Television will not sit idly by.
After all, this movie is the first to be released among the many movies invested by Wansheng Film and Television.
Wansheng Film and Television is also the sole distributor of this film.
For this movie, Wansheng Film and Television received more box office share than Zhang Yu, the largest investor.
The higher the box office, the more they make.
Of course, Wansheng Film and Television is not just interested in making money.
"Crazy Stone" became a hit, which undoubtedly gave Wansheng Film and Television a good start.
After all, this film is the first of the company-invested films to be released, which is of great significance.
Your side is dark, but our side is boastful.
Don’t be afraid of controversy. Perhaps the greater the controversy, the more attractive it will be to movie fans.
Wansheng Film and Television was established not long ago, but it has poached a lot of talents in the industry. How to use controversy to expand the publicity effect is still difficult for the publicity department.
"Crazy Stone" was hacked, but its momentum is getting bigger and bigger.
Then, the initial film schedule increased from 15% to 17%.
Don’t underestimate the two percent. Some low-budget movies may not get that many screenings when they are released.
Orange Media shot itself in the foot this time.
"The company has re-evaluated your movie." Wang Mei looked at Zhang Yu and said, "There is a certain chance that a miracle will happen again."
Another miracle?
The box office of "Buried Alive" is a miracle in everyone's eyes.
"The investment in "Buried Alive" is much higher than that of this movie." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Based on this, the box office of "Crazy Stone" does not even need to reach 500 million."
When Wang Mei heard this, she rolled her eyes.
Listening to Zhang Yu's reputation, it seems that it is easy to earn 500 million in box office.
If it is easy, what kind of miracle is it?
"Isn't it a miracle that the box office is nearly ten times the investment?" Wang Mei said, "Why, you still think that the box office of "Crazy Stone" will exceed that of "Buried Alive", or even exceed one billion."
Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly, he had never thought about it that way.
The box office of the original version was only tens of millions.
Of course, the market potential is different and has no reference value.
When the original version was released, there were no two films that had a box office of over 100 million.
What about now?
There are those who have exceeded one billion.
What's more, the investment in the original version was several million, and now the investment is tens of millions.
However, Zhang Yu's expectations for this film are not high and he would be satisfied if it exceeds 500 million.
500 million, investors can get more than 160 million.
And Zhang Yu accounts for the majority, plus other copyrights are income, then this film can earn him 100 million.
Even if not, it's probably not far away.
If a movie earns 100 million, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
"Besides, you have no idea why the investment and production cost of "Buried Alive" is so high?" Wang Mei then laughed and said, "Forget it, let's not mention this! If your movie is better than Orange Media's "Feng Shen",
I will apply for a bonus from the company."
"Then thank you, Sister Hua." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"You don't care about the bonus either."
Wang Mei seemed to think of something, and then she smiled dumbly.
How many bonuses can he apply for?
Zhang Yu’s current net worth is not low. What’s more, he is also the largest investor in this movie.
"Who would think that the money is too much?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Besides, Sister Hua doesn't really think that a small-budget film like ours can beat Orange Media's big-budget film, right?"
"Who knows!" Wang Mei smiled, "Why, you don't have confidence?"
"Crazy Stone" became a hit, and her position in the company became more stable.
After all, she is the producer and producer of this movie.
If this low-budget film really beats "Fengshen", then her reputation in the company will be even greater.
No matter how famous Wang Mei was in the past, when she arrived at Wansheng Film and Television, she still had to rely on her performance to speak for herself.
The internal competition of Wansheng Film and Television is also very fierce.
"After all, it is a big investment!" Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "If "Crazy Stone" wants to beat "Feng Shen", there is only one possibility, and that is "Feng Shen"'s reputation hits the street. It really hits the street, no.
The kind that comes out black."
"If it's just an ordinary person, it's not impossible to be hacked and really hit the street." Wang Mei said lightly.
Zhang Yu didn't answer, just smiled.
He obviously heard it from Wang Mei's words.
This is the rhythm of "Feng Shen"!
However, it’s nice to hear and see.
You can hack me, why can’t I hack you?
Zhang Yu would not dissuade him, and it would be good if he did not encourage him.
The reputation of "Fengshen" may really be just average. It's not impossible that it would be so bad that it would hit the streets.
If word-of-mouth spreads, it could be so bad that his reputation collapses.
Don't underestimate the power of the navy.
August 9th, Friday.
"Crazy Stone" and "Fengshen" were released at the same time.
The two films are now completely linked.
The publicity for "Feng Shen" is astonishing, and "Crazy Stone" has accumulated an excellent reputation through screenings, and its momentum is not much weaker.
However, in terms of film schedule, "Fengshen" undoubtedly has much more, taking 24% of the film schedule.
To rank first in the film ranking.
"Crazy Stone" followed closely with 17 percent.
In addition, there is another movie "Linglong" that has been released for half a month, and the film schedule is still as high as 12%.
And this film is now approaching the one billion mark at the box office.
Perhaps, it will become the highest-grossing film this summer, and will also become the fifth film to have a box office of over 1 billion.
Three films account for more than half of the film schedule.
The rest of the films are newly released and have exhausted their potential.
