How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 692 How can you become stronger without recharging money?

And just when [Taoist Descending the Mountain] and [Tiny Times 4] were viciously competing with each other.

On the other hand, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" was released on July 7, the day after "Tiny Times 10", and its box office debut was quite low. It only grossed more than 4 million yuan, but it was low-key. By accumulating word-of-mouth, he slowly boosted his box office performance.

More than 10 million, more than 20 million, more than 40 million, more than 30 million, more than 50 million, more than 60 million...

Released for six days.

[Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage] This animated film first declined and then gained 2.49 million yuan at the box office.

Although it is not as good as the 4 million yuan box office of "Tiny Times 3.64" in its first week, it has exceeded the 2.34 million yuan box office of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" in its first week.

Moreover, after two or three weeks of screening time for "Tiny Times 4" and "The Taoist Priest", the single-day box office has dropped a lot due to the fact that the quality of their films is not up to standard.

It has reached the level of 10 to 20 million yuan, and depending on the trend, it will quickly decline to less than 10 million yuan.

However, the box office trend of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" has been declining.

Without it.

Tell the truth.

Zhang Nan can be 100% sure that the box office of "Monster Hunt" is huge.

If we look at previous years, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" will definitely be a dark horse in the mainland movie market in July, and it is a dark horse that can win the box office championship in July.

After all, there are only five movies on the Mainland Film Market in July: "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", "Tiny Times 4", "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man".

This kind of vulgar laughter may make some movie fan groups uncomfortable, but for more ordinary viewers, it is the best choice out of necessity.

Finally, many mainland viewers in July looked at the movie posters around the theater and found that the only choice left for them seemed to be "Pancake Man".

This is six years!
It’s enough to complete the trilogy of the yet-to-be-released “Detective Chinatown” series.

Let’s not talk about [Tiny Times 4]. Traffic fans want movies, which is not the choice of most movie fans.

[Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage] is another animated film, and [Monster Hunt] was in trouble because of the male protagonist.

This is especially because of the "Monster Hunt" series, which has two consecutive films with box office sales exceeding RMB 2 billion, but there has been no news about a third film.

On July 7 and 16, "Monster Hunt", co-produced by Jiangzhe Pictures and Xiangjiang Pictures, and "Pancake Man", co-produced by Wanda and Xinli, were released.

Not only in the original time and space, but later media reported that "Monster Hunt" had a sold-out midnight show and a five-minute screening.

The first-day box office of the former "Monster Hunt" was as high as 1.62 million yuan, and the first-day box office of the latter "Pancake Man" was also 1.32 million yuan.

But this was July in the Mainland Film Market in 2015, and "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" was a bit underwhelming.

Then it is impossible for this IP to remain idle until 2018 after the second part was filmed in 2024. There will be no movement for six full years.

As for the excellent box office performance of "Pancake Man", Zhang Nan is a little unsure.

If only "Monster Hunt" had a box office of more than 2 billion yuan.

Not to mention "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", director Chen Da's "The Promise" did too much damage to the audience's popularity. Ten years is not enough for the audience to heal the once-polluted windows of their souls.

Because of the movie "Pancake Man", you can't say it's bad. It's vulgar at best, trying to make people laugh in an unbearably vulgar way.

But these have little to do with Zhang Nan.

After Zhang Nan finished the filming mission of [005], he hurriedly met with the heads of the ticketing departments of Penguin, Ahri and Meituan for a meeting.

No, to be precise, it’s a penny-spending meeting. Because "The Wandering Earth" was completely released in the Mainland in March, after these few months, the profits of "The Wandering Earth" from the Mainland film market have finally been accounted for.

Usually the payment is made directly to Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television Company account.

But the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is a bit special. It has a ticket replenishment service.

So in terms of specific revenue, it’s not Longgong Film and Television Company that is negotiating with the theaters. There are also three large Internet companies, which is complicated.

……

The conference room of Longbow Film and Television City.

Zhang Nan is sitting on the main seat in the middle of the long conference table. Sitting on the left is the financial staff of Longbow Film and Television Company. Sitting on the right are the heads of the three-party ticketing departments of Penguin, Ali and Meituan and their respective financial staff. .

Normally, the trio of Penguin, Ahri and Meituan would definitely be competing for the seats on the right.

but now……

Penguin, Ahri and Meituan are all silent.

There is no way not to be silent.

[The Wandering Earth] This wave went directly to the mainland movie market, taking in a box office of 72.4 billion yuan.

Of the 72.4 billion, the three of them want to cover 57.6% of the income, which is billion yuan.

Divided equally among the three companies, each company is worth RMB 19.2 billion.

In addition, Penguin and Meituan will pay an additional 1 yuan for each movie ticket they are responsible for, which will probably give Zhang Nan a nod of 100 million yuan.

In such a payment situation, the three families will naturally not compete for the most conspicuous position in the seats.

But in the end, I sat down in the order of Ahri, Penguin and Meituan.

"These are the accounts that need to be settled. The three of you can let the financial staff review it. If there are no problems, you can sign it." Zhang Nan happily said to the heads of the ticketing departments of Penguin, Ali and Meituan.

The person in charge of the three-party ticketing department of Penguin, Ahri and Meituan took the document from Zhang Nan with trembling hands, and then handed it to the financial staff beside him.

Among them, the person in charge of the Penguin Ticketing Department couldn't help but sigh: "Director Zhang, you have made a lot of money this time and become famous again!"

The person in charge of Penguin Ticketing Department couldn’t help but sigh.

After all, Penguin’s loudest slogan is: How can you become stronger without recharging money?

But now that they have reached the position of charging money to become stronger, the contrast is too strong.

The most speechless thing is that they did become stronger by spending money, but their competitors also became stronger by spending money. What’s the difference between this and not spending money?
Oh!
The difference is that we all paid a big price and lost a lot of money.

"Everywhere, we help each other and achieve each other. This time, each company has cultivated consumers' ticket-buying habits and a large number of users. Consumers saved money to watch movies, and I made a little money by the way. Everyone gained their own Whatever you want will have a happy ending and future." Zhang Nan didn't put on the irritating expression of "I'm going to take advantage of you, what do you do", but said in a calm tone to smooth things over.

After hearing Zhang Nan's words, Ali and the person in charge of Meituan's ticketing department all turned their attention to the person in charge of Penguin's ticketing department.

Because if nothing unexpected happens.

This person will be completely removed from his position as head of Penguin Ticketing Department after the end of this cooperation.

This ending doesn’t seem very happy!
