Chapter 159 The Movie Releases!Fairy fights (seeking subscription)
Closing is one thing.

Post-editing is another matter.

But compared to those crackling action movies or war scenes.

Small-cost campus youth movies save a lot of trouble.

So it only took nearly four days, and the editors of the crew had finished the entire film of "A Little Thing of First Love".

"A Little Thing of First Love" is officially completed!
So Meng Chen immediately asked Uncle Long to apply for a trial.

Uncle Long's work efficiency is also fast, and he has passed the trial in only two days.

This also shows that this "A Little Thing of First Love" can be officially finalized.

But Uncle Long's words made everyone worry.

I saw Uncle Long said: "I have already contacted several theaters, and they generally think that it is not suitable to be released on August 8, because there are three films that are big productions on that day, among which Director Jiang's "Seize the First Beach" "It is also known as the box office leader in the second half of the year, and we estimate that there will be very few films scheduled at that time, so you have to be mentally prepared."

After hearing this, Meng Chen nodded and said, "I understand."

At this time Xia Ranxi asked: "Senior, do we really have to release it on August 8?"

Meng Chen thought for a while, and then said: "If you choose an ordinary date for release, the topic level will not be high, but in the face of so many big-produced movies, if you still set a date to compete with them, those audiences may be more excited." Follow this movie."

"That's right!" Uncle Long nodded after hearing this.

But he said immediately: "But you have to be mentally prepared. It is very likely that there will be fewer sets. Only through word-of-mouth later will it be possible to increase the number of filming sessions."

Meng Chen responded: "Okay, Uncle Long, don't worry, I'll understand."

"Okay, Xiao Le, make a poster! Then contact the reporter, we will set the date on August 8!"

"okay!"

After a while, a poster was ready.

Meng Chen immediately posted Weibo, Douyin and other platforms.

Xia Ranxi also posted this poster to promote her first movie as much as possible.

When everyone learned the release date of "A Little Thing of First Love", they all felt incredible.

"My mother! Brother Chen is crazy?!"

"Yeah, I'm numb."

"Why is it scheduled for August 8th!"

"That's right, isn't this going to break out in the big business cards?"

"Brother Chen, why can't you think about it!"

"that is!"

When everyone learned that Meng Chen's movie was going to be released on August 8, there were a lot of comments.

mixed reviews.

Some people say that he has the guts to directly challenge the three major films as soon as he makes a movie!
It is bound to compete with them.

But others say he's overreaching.

Obviously there are three giants blocking in front.

It is necessary to show that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Isn't this just to give away the head? !
Meng Chen did not respond to these comments on the Internet.

Because he knew that at the film conference the next day, there would definitely be questions from media reporters.

Sure enough, the next afternoon.

"A Little Thing of First Love" film conference was held at Dooley Building.

Uncle Long asked the staff to invite more than a dozen media reporters.

Their primary purpose now is to promote "A Little Thing of First Love".

Let everyone know about this movie through the posts of the reporters.

"I'm very glad that everyone was invited to the press conference of "A Little Thing of First Love". I am the director of this movie, Meng Chen." Meng Chen picked up the microphone and looked at everyone politely.

At this time, a round of applause broke out.

After Meng Chen finished speaking, Xia Ranxi also took the microphone, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone~~ I'm Ranxi, very happy to meet you all, I will play the heroine Chen Kexin in this play~"

After introducing the other supporting roles, the media reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Director Meng, I would like to ask, as a super-popular singer of the new generation, what is your purpose for participating in and directing this youth-themed movie?"

After Meng Chen heard this question, he thought about it, and then said: "Actually, I just thought I had a good idea for a movie, and then I shot it. I didn't think much about it."

"Wow~~"

Everyone wowed.

Sure enough, doing what you want is the most enviable thing.

Then, another female reporter asked: "Then I want to ask Brother Chen, do you know that the three movies "Seize the First Beach", "The First Generation 3", and "My World Has You" are all here. Is it going to be released one day?"

"Of course I know." Meng Chen laughed happily.

"Then aren't you afraid that the existence of these three movies will double your pressure?"

"Don't be afraid, you will be motivated when you are under pressure." Meng Chen explained: "I am a person who pursues excitement and enjoys challenges. I like to do challenging things."

Sure enough, this sentence surprised many media reporters.

They all felt that Meng Chen was too confident.

At this time, another media reporter asked: "Then I would like to ask Brother Xia Chen, how much do you estimate the box office will be?"

Meng Chen shrugged: "Actually, there is no way to estimate this. If the box office says less, others will think that you are not confident in your work. If you say too much, others will catch your pigtails. In short, everything will wait until August 8th." The result is fine."

"Then, will your team conduct a road show?"

"Of course, we will go to different cities for roadshow promotion starting tomorrow, and we will not miss every day before the release."

After Meng Chen finished speaking, Uncle Long also gave a hint.

That's about the time of the press conference.

Even if there are still many media reporters who want to ask more questions.

But Meng Chen and the others still left.

After all, appetite is the best attraction.

When the questions and content of the press conference were released by the media, there was another heated discussion on the Internet.

"Oh my God! Brother Chen is so confident!"

"I just like Brother Chen's confident look hahahaha~"

"Me too, I always think Brother Chen is super handsome."

"Come on, I admit that he is really good at singing, but when it comes to filming, how can he compare with those famous directors and famous movie stars?!"

"That's right, I think Meng Chen is indeed floating."

In the next few days, news about the release of "A Little Thing of First Love" spread like wildfire.

Even during the road show promotion of "I Have You in My World", many media reporters asked if they knew "A Little Thing of First Love".

Both the director and the leading actors said they had heard about the film.

"But I still have confidence in our film, and I believe our film can stand out from the crowd."

This is what the director of "My World Has You" said.

Obviously, he didn't take "A Little Thing of First Love" seriously, a small-budget campus youth-themed movie.

He just thought that "Seize the First Beach" and "Generation Heroes 3" might be able to compete with his movie.

At this time, the bill for the pre-sale box office has been released.

Among them, the pre-sale box office of "Seize the First Beach" has reached 4000 million!
This is unique in the first half of the film!
You know, pre-sale box office represents popularity.

Obviously, the popularity of "Seize the First Beach" has exploded.

The No.2 pre-sale box office is "Generation Heroes 3", and its box office reached about 2000 million.

Behind it is "My World Has You", which is also nearly 2000 million.

There are a total of seven movies released on August 8, so whoever ranks seventh in the pre-sale box office will be embarrassed.

Unfortunately, "A Little Thing of First Love" came in seventh.

There is no other reason.

There are few films, and the time of the shows is too dark.

Either early in the morning or late at night.

Even in many third-tier cities, this movie doesn't even have a schedule.

Who would want to buy a movie of this kind? !
So "A Little Thing of First Love" only pre-sold more than 200 million at the box office.

Most of these pre-sale box office are fan-assisted.

Whether or not to go to see it at that time is still the same thing!

Regarding this situation, Meng Chen was naturally aware of it.

He understands that if word of mouth is not established in the first three days, the subsequent filming will basically be useless.

So he could only wait quietly.

Looking forward to August 8th.

Not only Meng Chen is looking forward to it, but many viewers are also looking forward to it.

But they were not looking forward to Meng Chen's "A Little Thing of First Love".

Their goals are basically the three big-budget films "Seize the First Beach", "Generation Heroes 3", and "I Have You in My World".

And most viewers just chose tickets for these three movies.

Although many people kept saying that they would support Meng Chen.

But when that day comes, they may be reluctant to pay the tens of dollars for the tickets.

Time passed day by day.

Finally, August 8, under the expectation of everyone, finally came.

As early as the afternoon of the 19th, Meng Chen posted a short video of Douyin.

"Hello everyone~ Tonight, my first movie "A Little Thing of First Love" will be released, please support~~"

The short video is less than ten seconds.

But it still attracted a lot of comments and likes from fans.

"You must support Brother Chen! By the way, Brother Chen, when did you make a movie?"

"You fake fan."

"I'm in the cinema right now, but there's no schedule for "A Little Thing of First Love" at all!"

"I have a film schedule here, but there are only two shows a day, and one is early in the morning, and the other is at ten o'clock in the evening. What a ghost."

"It's bleak, Brother Chen."

"Could it be the first time I hit a wall?"

At this time, in Meng Chen's fan group.

The owner of the group also immediately expressed that Meng Chen's "A Little Thing of First Love" will be released tomorrow, and everyone should support it more.

But most of the fans are students.

They immediately complained: "This filming is poisonous! I will go to the movies at ten o'clock tonight, and my mother will break my legs!"

"Me too! I have to go to the next town to see it. I don't have any in my own town!"

"Ahh! Me too, but I can't go out at eight o'clock, what should I do, woo woo woo."

"It's okay, even if it's twelve o'clock in the evening, I will go to support it."

At this moment, Uncle Long walked to Meng Chen's side and said, "According to the data Xiao Le gave me just now, the attendance rate of "A Little Thing of First Love" is less than 4%. The box office is estimated to be around one million."

After Meng Chen heard this, he calmly said, "It's okay, a million dollars is money. I believe those viewers who have seen it will definitely cause a butterfly effect, and then word of mouth will spread."

That's right, he relied on the word-of-mouth of tens of thousands of viewers to counterattack!

At ten o'clock in the morning on the 20th, a young man wearing a microphone walked into a movie theater.

"Hello, everyone. I am your favorite filmmaker Adu. Today, I came to the China Film Theater in the urban area of ​​Jinling. I just asked the staff. The movie that will be released on August 8th It's being screened, and judging from the number of people at the scene, compared to the number of people on the screening day last week, it's a lot more!"

"A total of seven movies were screened today, among which the most eye-catching ones are "Seize the First Beach", "Generation Heroes 3", and "My World Has You". Among them, "Seize the First Beach" was originally It was even planned to be released on National Day, but it couldn't hold back everyone's enthusiasm, so it was only more than a month earlier."

"We can see from the big screen that "Seize the First Beach" has the most film schedule, reaching 29.1%, "Generation Heroes 3" has 21.2% of the film schedule, and "My World Has You" accounted for 18.4%. The film schedule. The three big-budget films accounted for 68.7% of the film schedule. The remaining ten films only accounted for 31.3% of the film schedule.”

"Of course, this arrangement is also in line with the current market rules. Whoever makes money will arrange it for whom! That's the reason."

"I also learned that my favorite singer, Meng Chen, directed and participated in "A Little Thing of First Love", which only had 3% of the film schedule, and most of them were in the morning or evening. I don't know why this is so. Clear, Adu will lead you to a deeper understanding."

With that said, he went directly to the ticket counter.

"Hi, I would like to ask, why are there so few films in "A Little Thing of First Love"?" Adu asked directly.

At the same time, the camera of his mobile phone was pointed at the film staff all the time.

Seeing him clapping, the staff shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm just a ticket seller."

"Then can you call the manager for me?" Adu asked.

"You wait here a moment." The staff member turned his head and shouted to the room: "Manager!"

At this time, a man in a suit came out.

"Manager Ye, someone is looking for you." The staff pointed to Adu, and then continued to sell tickets.

The man in the suit saw Adu taking pictures with his mobile phone, and smiled politely for a moment: "Hello, how can I help you?"

"It's like this. I'm an anchor, Adu, a filmmaker on the Douyin account. Hello, Manager Ye." Adu said politely.

When Manager Ye heard it, he suddenly realized: "Adu, I know, hello, hello."

The two shook hands symbolically, and then Manager Ye said, "I don't know what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask why there are so few films in "A Little Thing of First Love", and most of them are in the morning or evening." Adu asked.

Manager Ye immediately explained: "This is an arrangement of our group's operation department. As a local theater chain, we only obey the above regulations and arrangements, so I really can't reveal too much about it."

After Adu heard this, he naturally understood the truth.

After he learned some details, he looked at the camera and said, "Okay, let's interview some audience friends to see what movies they want to watch?"

With that said, he went straight to a couple.

"Hello, I'm the filmmaker and anchor Adu. I want to interview you. What movie did you come to watch today?"

When the girl saw that Adu was filming, she was surprised. She immediately said, "We are here to watch "I Have You in My World"~"

"Sure enough, couples like to watch love-themed movies, right~"

But at this time the boy said: "I don't want to watch it either, but I can't help it."

During the conversation, there were still some dumbfounded.

The girl glared at him at this moment, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

But Adu asked the boy at this time: "Then which movie do you want to watch?"

"Definitely "Seize the First Beach" and "Generation Syndicate 3"!"

"No, I want to watch a romantic movie!" The girl retorted immediately.

At this time, Adu asked: "Do you know Meng Chen? Didn't Meng Chen also make a movie about campus youth, "A Little Thing of First Love", don't you plan to watch it?"

"We did have plans, but the show was too late, we had to rush home, there was no way." The girl explained.

"Besides, we don't know if it's good or not, so we want to wait and see and read the comments on the Internet in two days."

After listening to Adu, he also politely said goodbye to them.

"Okay, the preliminary analysis of today's movie release situation is completed, we will see you on the next release date, goodbye~~"

After the video of Adu was sent out, everyone felt the same way.

Although many people really want to support Meng Chen's movie, either the number of shows is too small and unreasonable, or they are worried that it will not be good and want to wait and see.

As time goes by little by little.

Meng Chen's "A Little Thing of First Love" finally ushered in its premiere at six o'clock in the afternoon!
There is always a group of people who walk into the movie hall and are the first to eat crabs.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the audience's film review two hours later, everyone didn't know that the audience who were watching this movie had long been immersed in the plot of the movie.
