Entertainment: Female celebrities, please restrain yourself, it’s just a coincidence

Chapter 236

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there are fights, without exception.

The shopping mall is a battlefield without gunpowder, and there is never a shortage of intrigues, backstabbing, plots and coercion.

Every time a movie is released, there is never a shortage of fights, because the box office is money and naked profit.

Every company will come up with endless tricks and responses, and Xu Shanzheng and Zhang Yang are no exception. They are not stupid young people who don't understand anything.

Sunday, September 27th.

All major theater chains are following the money and actively increasing the film schedule of"Charlotte" to 40%. The film schedule of"囧" was also cut off by three points to give to"Charlotte".

According to the current word-of-mouth trend, the single-day box office of"Charlotte Trouble" is expected to reach 200 million today, with the total box office exceeding 450 million.

450 million in three days, which is a terrifying figure. The dark horse status of"Charlotte Trouble" is undisputed.

As the leading actors of this drama, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Wang Qiuya, Yin Yuanhua, Happy Twist team actors, Tian Yu, etc., they were walking in the air during the road show.

If a billion-dollar movie comes along, their future worth and status in the industry will be different.

Can you be unhappy?

But after watching the movie for the first time today, when they appeared on stage for interviews, they smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke.

The reporters’ questions were each sharper than the last, and they all focused on some points recently discussed online.

For example, the stage play of Charlotte's Troubles has too thick shadows, and the actors' performance traces are too heavy. (Comedy is the art of exaggeration, and anyone who talks about performance traces is a hooligan, except Star Master.)

For example, the rebirth aspect is a flaw, and it is just cooking the same old rice, with no new ideas.

It is also said that this drama has a wrong outlook. After the male protagonist is reborn, he abandons his wife who is a loser and pursues a school beauty to lead a luxurious life.

These issues were all mentioned by reporters, and their rhetoric was highly targeted.

In other words, Ma Li and Shen Teng were quick-witted, so they dealt with it cleverly.

However, media reports will inevitably take them out of context, which will definitely have an impact on the movie.

"Lao Zhang, call Brother Yang, tell him about the situation we encountered, and ask him to pay attention to the discussions on the Internet."

After the game, Shen Teng immediately went to Zhang Cheng, the chairman of Happy Twist.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng said with a nonchalant expression:"It's not necessary. The problems you encountered are all bad reviews on the Internet. Reporter It's obviously just to gain attention and catch bad reviews."

"Didn’t the reporters and audience praise us just now?"

Shen Teng put down the water bottle, looked at Zhang Cheng and said:"The interview questions are indeed not too serious, but these questions appear too concentrated, and some of them are obviously prepared."

"I suspect there is someone behind them, and it’s not just to gain attention and traffic. Anyway, you can’t go wrong with being careful. But

Zhang Cheng looked troubled and said:"I think you are thinking too much, and Zhang Yang is responsible for publicity and public relations, so it is impossible that he has not noticed these situations.""

"It’s not a matter of whether Zhang Yang pays attention or not, but..."Shen Teng originally wanted to continue arguing, but when he suddenly thought of something, he narrowed his eyes and said,"Lao Zhang, you want to see the movie affected!" As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.

Wang Qiuya's eyes flashed and she closed the lounge door silently.

Zhang Cheng's expression suddenly changed, thinking that Shen Teng knew about it and did not hide it, and said:"According to industry insiders' predictions, with the quality of our film and the reputation it has formed, plus Zhang Yang's publicity, the final box office will be It’s around one billion, and if the National Day performance goes well, it can reach 1.3 billion"

"If this is the case, our company's hard work will be in vain."

Zhang Cheng was somewhat self-deprecating about the predictions made by industry insiders.

Before Zhang Yang, it was impossible to say 100 million, and even with good luck, it was impossible to exceed 300 million.

As a result, the box office was only 250 million in two days. Isn't this funny?

"I know you care about money, you can think about it in your heart, but you can't badmouth or hold back. Shen Teng said in a deep voice:"The total investment in this drama is 20 million, but our company only invested 10 million, taking half of the share.""

"We are in the current situation because Zhang Yanghua’s resources allowed us to promote in variety shows."

"One of the reasons is that Zhang Yang personally promoted it, and he also spent real money on promotion."

"It was also him who allowed Yida and other theaters to give high-ranking films, otherwise more than half of them would be Hong Kong films."

"Not only that, he put 100 million into it as a subsidy"

"Since you have made a bet, you are willing to admit defeat."

After Shen Teng said this to his head for a while, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt an unknown fire in his heart.

Is he the chairman of Mahua, or is Shen Teng!?

"I didn't say I didn't want to admit defeat. Zhang Cheng said with a cold face:"I recognize Zhang Yang's efforts. I don't want others to make money. I just hope that the box office will be between 700 million and 1 billion. Then everyone will make money. The difference is who has more and who has less.""

"Zhang Yang works so hard to promote, not for us, but for himself."

What Zhang Cheng said is not wrong, because the box office exceeds 1.3 billion, and the income has nothing to do with Mahua.

"I said at the beginning that I would stop when I see a good time. Shen Teng said earnestly:"Originally, we could be twisted into a rope and work together to make the box office work.""

"Not only can we make money, Mahua can also have a masterpiece and reputation, and other stage plays can also start to be filmed, but you are greedy"

"It takes 500 million for Zhang Yang to be able to earn back his principal, and now it is even more 100 million (actually to attract traffic to Yinhai, which is a very normal money-burning process, and it is twice the result with half the effort), and the box office must exceed 900 million to repay the principal, are you sorry? ?"

"What's wrong with me! ? Zhang Cheng's face turned red and he roared angrily:"It's not like I'm looking for someone to smear the movie. Shen Teng, know your own identity. I'm the chairman of Mahua.""

"Wouldn’t it benefit you to make more money?"

"What benefits did Zhang Yang give you, and you want to talk to him like this?"

"benefit?"Shen Teng said:"The higher our box office is, the higher Zhang Yang's skills will be."

"It’s embarrassing in Hong Kong. We have 2,500 people and we all deserve to be drunk. No one cares about our movies. Even if the wine smells good, the alley is too dark!"

"enough!"Zhang Cheng raised his hand and said coldly:"I don't need to listen to these big principles. In short, I won't do small tricks behind my back, but I also hope that the box office will be high and so high."

"Shen Teng, please clarify your position!"

After that, Zhang Cheng left angrily.

In the lounge, the air pressure was so low that no one dared to speak.

After a while, Shen Teng rubbed his cheek, took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Yang's number, but chose to speak outside.

"Brother Teng, aren't you busy with the road show?"Zhang Yang's voice sounded, making everyone straighten their backs subconsciously.

This is a real boss, and he is still rising.

"Ah Yang, I encountered a situation during the road show today."Shen Teng said with a smile. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Are there questions from reporters or the like that embarrass you?"Zhang Yang asked

"you know?"Shen Teng and others were surprised.

"You can guess it. Zhang Yang said with a smile:"Generally speaking, Hong Kong 囧 will not like Charlotte Trouble as an opponent, let alone waste money on public relations and smear campaigns.""

"But as soon as the box office is released in the past two days, Hong Kong's investors should take action. After all, the plate is so big. In the case of the same comedy, if we take one bite, they will take one less bite. Hearing this

, Shen Teng asked:"So, have you responded?""

"There are so many ways to deal with them, and if Xu Shanzheng can give me more, he will be considered awesome." Zhang Yang's tone revealed confidence.

Shen Teng exchanged glances with Ma Li and others, and said with a smile:"That's it, as long as you know what to do, we will continue the road show."

"Easy to say. Zhang Yang said with a smile:"When the box office comes in, I will use 10 million to give out red envelopes to the creators. Let's all have fun together.""

"Boss Zhang is grand." Shen Teng smiled and complimented.

After hanging up the phone, he sighed and said to everyone:"I knew it was impossible for Zhang Yang to not respond. I asked Zhang Cheng to call, which was actually a sign of goodwill."

"Zhang Yang is a good person and will never treat us badly."

"You see, I got a collective red envelope of 10 million when I called. Mr. Zhang will definitely give you more."

"Pity..."

No one spoke.

They were Mahua people and could not say anything bad about Zhang Cheng.

But from the bottom of their hearts, they also feel that Zhang Cheng’s pattern should be bigger.

But think about it, if he had a plan, he wouldn't bet against Zhang Yang with the mentality of taking advantage.

To be like this today can be regarded as"just what we deserve".

On the other side, Zhang Yang hung up the phone and smiled at Yang Mi:"Brother Teng can still be a good man. If Mahua fails in the future, you can sign to Xinghai"

"How much do you expect the box office of this movie to be?"Yang Mi asked

"About two billion."Zhang Yang said without thinking:"As soon as the National Day holiday is over, piracy will also be rampant. In the next few decades, I will basically not make anything, and it is impossible to get the extension key. I can't do too much."

Charlotte Trouble has earned more than 1.3 billion by growing on her own, while Hong Kong has earned 1.4 billion and Nine-story Demon Tower has earned more than 600 million.

Now it is under his control, from the other two It’s okay to cut some flesh in the movie.

Yang Mi:"..."

Give you a look and feel it for yourself

"By the way, how are you going to deal with it?

Zhang Yang smiled and said,"If you wear white silk today, I can tell you in advance.""

Yang Mi:"..."[]

Time blinked to the morning of September 29th.

Xu Shanzheng asked with expectation:"How much did Charlotte have at the box office yesterday?" They started competing on the morning of the 27th. On that day, Charlotte was still the single-day box office champion, earning 160 million, while Hong Kong still didn't win. Change, only 90 million.

But yesterday, the 28th, the power should be reflected

"Ninety million."Someone answered, but his face was weird.

"Well, the reduction was nearly doubled, and it really worked."Xu Shanzheng smiled, and then asked with some expectation:"We are in Hong Kong."

In order to pretend to be calm, he didn't pay attention all night.

"Sixty million."Someone replied

"160 million? So-so, but I can still keep working hard."Xu Shan said with a smile.

Everyone:"..."

"Director Xu, it’s 60 million."

Xu Shanzheng: ???

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The industry estimate for Hong Kong's"囧" is 2 billion box office.

Now it's not even 300 million. How could it not fall but rise instead of falling on the fourth day!?
