The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

The time came to the afternoon of the May Day holiday.

A term suddenly appeared on Weibo.

#Movie theater traffic surges#
This entry directly appeared fifth on Weibo's hot search list.

The main content of the relevant Weibo posts was the release of the movie "Dying to Survive", which attracted a large number of audiences to go to the cinema to watch the movie, causing the passenger flow of cinemas and theaters in many places to directly break previous historical records.

The emergence of this topic naturally attracted discussions from countless netizens.

[No, is the influence of the movie "Dying to Survive" so great? It can actually directly affect the customer flow of a place? ]

[To know whether the influence is great or not, just look at Bai Xingjian’s titles and you will know it at a glance. None of his works, such as All or Nothing, Crazy, Squidward, and The Three-Body Problem, are of poor quality, so everyone’s expectations for the movie Dying to Survive are naturally high.]

[What else can I say? I can only say that Bai Xingjian's influence has now spread all over the country.]

[Don't say it, don't say it, if any of our primary school students don't know the name Bai Xingjian, they will be discriminated against.]

[No, Bai Xingjian has already started to influence elementary school students? Is this true or false? ]

[How could this be false? Fenghuang Yufei's songs are household names, right? And these songs were both written and sung by Bai Xingjian. With the influence of his family and the Internet, there are not many people who don't know Bai Xingjian's name. ]

[Hahaha, that's right. In our country, people who don't know Bai Xingjian or the name of Fenghuang Yufei can check their background to see if they are one of the walking 500,000.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, a movie directly affects the customer flow of a place. Maybe the box office of "Dying to Survive" will be a big hit this time!]

[It’s guaranteed! You can’t imagine how exaggerated offline cinemas are. The ticket vending machine area is so crowded! And they are all audiences watching "Dying to Survive". I have never seen such a scene in a cinema! This made the relevant person in charge of the cinema limit the flow of people! 】

[Is the appeal of "Dying to Survive" really that strong? ]

[It’s included! ]

[Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people. The movie “Dying to Survive” is really worth watching! ]

[I went to see it early this morning, and wanted to see it again, but I still couldn't get a ticket even after trying so hard to get one. I'm speechless.]

There are actually many reasons why the movie "Dying to Survive" is so popular this time.

One is Bai Xingjian’s personal influence. Phoenix Pictures has produced many film and television dramas, and without exception, they are all high-quality hits.

At this point, the audience naturally has strong expectations for Bai Xingjian's new work.

The second is the topic created by the contrast of the movie itself.

Before "Dying to Survive" was released, everyone thought it was a comedy. But after everyone went to the theater to watch it, they discovered that it was actually a tear-jerking drama.

The audience who were tricked into crying by the movie "Dying to Survive" naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

As a result, these unpleasant feelings became an alternative topic of discussion, making them willing to discuss the movie "Dying to Survive" and recommend it to people around them, people they know, and even strangers on the Internet to watch the movie.

Because the audience who watched this movie first also really want to see the state of new audiences when watching the movie "Dying to Survive".

When they discover that the new audience’s feelings are similar to or even the same as theirs, they will naturally feel very comfortable.

And new audiences will also implement these routines after knowing them.

With this cycle, it will be difficult for "Dying to Survive" to become less popular, and it will also attract more and more audiences to watch this movie.

Of course, there are many other reasons besides these two reasons why the movie "Dying to Survive" is so popular.

But no matter what it is, the only certainty is that the craze for "Dying to Survive" has begun to sweep across the country.

……

"I'm really convinced. I said we shouldn't be afraid of Bai Xingjian and withdraw the movie, but now it's like this? I can't even get a sip of soup. I'm really convinced!"

"No, who would have thought that a movie like 'Dying to Survive' could attract so many viewers to the cinema? Is this really the current state of the industry in our country? I'm afraid these people are extras hired by Phoenix Pictures?"

"You're still acting here as an extra? Can't you just admit your mistakes? You're still trying to make excuses at this point. You really have no sense of proportion at all."

"How many years have passed since cinemas were packed with people? Anyway, I didn't expect such a scene to appear after the release of "Dying to Survive". If I remember correctly, it didn't seem to be the case when "All or Nothing" was released last year?"

"It's unimaginable, absolutely unimaginable."

"Will Bai Xingjian really revitalize the domestic film market?"

"So what if it's revitalized? Phoenix Pictures is the only company in the market right now. How is that good for us?"

"Of course there are benefits. After all, with the help of Bai Xingjian, many lapsed moviegoers are willing to come to the cinema from home to continue watching movies again."

"That's right. From this situation, we can see that some movies were not swayed by 'Dying to Survive'. Instead, they took advantage of this wave of traffic and their box office exceeded expectations."

In the conference room of Baina Pictures in Shanghai, relevant personnel had a heated discussion about this grand occasion in domestic cinemas.

Previously, due to the massive publicity of "Dying to Survive", Baina Pictures directly chose to withdraw a movie that was originally scheduled to be released during the May Day holiday.

But now, after the release of the movie "Dying to Survive", the flow of people to cinemas across the country has increased.

For some movies released in the same period as "Dying to Survive", except for a few that are really not worth watching, the box office of the rest of the movies naturally exceeded the expectations of the relevant teams.

However, faced with such a huge amount of traffic, Baina Pictures can only say that it is no longer qualified to even have a seat at the table.

After all, their movie has been withdrawn from the schedule and cannot be rescheduled for release in a short period of time, which made many relevant personnel of Baina Pictures beat their chests and stamp their feet.

"We at Baina Pictures can be said to have suffered a complete loss this time."

Bi Chengping, the director of Baina Pictures, sighed and said helplessly, "When we announced the withdrawal of the film, many people scolded us for being softies and not daring to confront Bai Xingjian head-on. At that time, we also laughed at those companies that did not withdraw the film for being too proud to suffer in vain. We had no idea how miserable it would be to confront Bai Xingjian head-on. But what is the actual situation? Not only did they not suffer any negative impact from the release of "Dying to Survive", but they also gained a lot of benefits from it. This is really..."

At the end of his words, Bi Chengping sighed heavily.

He really has nothing to say about the current situation of the domestic film market.

"I didn't expect Shen Bowen to make a profit from this."

A man next to Bi Chengping spoke up. As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly became noisy again.

"Shen Bowen? That guy who only knows how to flatter Bai Xingjian is simply a disgrace to us in Shanghai!"

"If I remember correctly, Shen Bowen seemed to be the first one to slide down towards Phoenix Pictures?"

"No, that group of people openly said at the preview of their own movie that the box office of "Dying to Survive" could exceed 10 billion. At that time, I thought Xu Changhong and Shen Bowen were setting a trap for Bai Xingjian. But from the current situation, it seems that there is such a trend. I guess Shen Bowen and others had already decided whether to kneel down to Phoenix Pictures at that time."

“I can only say that this is very difficult to comment on.”

"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just human nature at work? If I were Shen Bowen, I would also be happy to kneel down to Bai Xingjian. After all, there is definitely money to be made."

After these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room fell silent again.

The reason is very simple. In today's domestic film market, besides the most popular movie "Dying to Survive", the second most popular movie is "Labyrinth of Desire".

A large part of the traffic brought by "Dying to Survive" to major cinemas has been radiated to "Labyrinth of Desire".

So when the people from Baina Pictures were still beating their chests and stamping their feet in the conference room, the people from Aoki Entertainment were already beaming with joy.

Aoki Entertainment.

In the chairman's office.

Shen Bowen looked at the relevant data of "Labyrinth of Desire" and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"I thought that the box office of our film Labyrinth of Desire would be greatly impacted by Dying to Survive today, but I never expected that it would be a blessing in disguise. This reversal is simply a pleasant surprise!"

When saying this, Shen Bowen looked extremely ecstatic.

Seeing him like this, many people around him couldn't help laughing.

Of course, like Shen Bowen, they are also in a very happy mood now.

After all, the box office of "Labyrinth of Desire" was a big hit. Even though there is a huge gap between it and "Dying to Survive", this situation can be said to be very good.

"So, Mr. Shen, what is our estimate of the first-day box office revenue for Labyrinth of Desire?"

Xu Changhong, the director of the movie "Labyrinth of Desire", asked with sparkling eyes.

In response to this question, Shen Bowen looked at his watch and made an estimate. "It is already 80:1.6 p.m., and we can only show Labyrinth of Desire twice more at most. If the attendance rate is %, the first-day box office of Labyrinth of Desire is likely to be around million."

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone in the office, except Shen Bowen, couldn't help but blush.

"WTF! 1.6 million on the first day?"

"1.6 million, my God! That's 1.6 million!"

"If I remember correctly, we estimated that the first-day box office of Labyrinth of Desire was only 80 million, right? Now it has doubled? This is amazing!"

"Holy crap! This directly breaks the historical record of our Qingmu Entertainment!!!"

"Brother Bowen, is this data true or false? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Shen Bowen.

He just sneered, waved his hand and said: "The first-day box office of 1.6 million is a conservative figure I said. The actual situation is probably higher."

As soon as he finished speaking, no one in the office could sit still. Everyone stood up, shouting and cheering excitedly.

For a moment, it seemed as if this small meeting in the office was turned into a celebration party.

Shen Bowen did not control his emotions at all at this moment. He stood up and cheered with everyone.

His secretary Zhu Qiuqing was also very tactful. While everyone was partying, he had some drinks brought over.

With the blessing of wine, this small meeting in the office has completely turned into a

After a brief revelry, Xu Changhong raised his glass with a big laugh, took a sip of champagne, and said:
"During the May Day holiday, even a marginal film like ours, Labyrinth of Desire, made 1.6 million yuan on its first day. I can't imagine how horrible the first-day box office of the main film, Dying to Survive, would be."

"Yes, yes. It is obvious that the surge in traffic to major cinemas during the May Day holiday is all due to the movie "Dying to Survive". Our "Labyrinth of Desire" has purely picked up a big bargain this time."

"Based on the popularity, it's probably an 6.4: ratio, which means that the first-day box office of "Dying to Survive" is very likely to be four times ours, or million yuan."

As soon as the figure of 6.4 million came out, the office fell into a brief silence.

Then came the sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air.

This cannot be blamed on the people present for being inexperienced, and such a thing has never happened in the country before.

Even "All or Nothing," produced by Phoenix Pictures last year, only earned 200 million yuan on its premiere day.

But what about this time's "Dying to Survive"?

The box office on the premiere day reached 6.4 million.

What does 6.4 million mean?

Assuming a movie ticket price of 40 yuan, million people went to see "Dying to Survive" on the first day of its release.

Moreover, the number of 6.4 million is completely the concept of total box office for many movies.

What's more, in today's sluggish film market, the total box office of many movies does not even reach 6.4 million.

"6.4 million in box office revenue on the first day! That's a lifetime for many filmmakers!"

Xu Changhong said with great emotion: "If this trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before 'Dying to Survive' becomes a phenomenal movie."

Having already seen "Dying to Survive" in the cinema, Xu Changhong was naturally very confident about the quality of this film.

Hearing this, Shen Bowen shook his head and laughed, "It seems that "Dying to Survive" will become another phenomenal work after "Squid Game" produced by Phoenix Pictures? I just wonder if this movie can be as popular as "Squid Game" around the world?" (End of this chapter)
