""Legend of the White Snake" is a fighter in bad movies! There is no worst, only worse, and you will regret it after watching it. Nima, I want to leave after watching it for 20 minutes. Huang Kaiyi's role is not White Snake, Whores, whores! Sluts! Sluts! **! I can't complain."

"I'm so fucking speechless, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Zuxian's version of Bai Suzhen seems to come from the sky, and Huang Yiyi's version of Bai Suzhen seems to come from the sky!"

"A mistress movie like "Warring States" is really awesome!"

"Emotions have no foundation, characters have no personality, special effects have no details, jokes have no IQ, fights have no moves, sensationalism has no logic, no loyalty to the legend, no respect for the audience of the new era, a complete defeat!"

At the beginning of the National Day file, "Legend of the White Snake" failed completely in publicity, without any power to fight back.

In the face of overwhelming negative reviews and abuse, no effective public relations can be done.

All the characters, plots, lines, and special effects in the film were criticized as useless.

This movie may be the most widely circulated, and what impressed the audience the most is a comment from a certain audience.

The white lady came down from the sky to the mortal world, while Huang Changyi seemed to come from the heaven and the mortal world.

The pure girl in "Kung Fu" back then is sprayed like this now. This film is really not very good, and Guangxian's negative marketing also contributed a lot.

Although "Painted Wall" was also criticized as a bad film, and there were criticisms everywhere on the Internet, Guangxian managed to control the public opinion very well, and his own troupe also ended up in the dark, and the focus was shifted to the film's naked flesh.

This is also true in movies. When those fox monsters appeared on the stage, they either showed their arms, thighs or breasts, and Liu Yan became famous because of it.

It can even be said that half of the success of "Painted Wall" is due to Liu Yan. If it weren't for his various career lines in dozens of road shows and events, and various sex scenes in the trailer, he would not have attracted so many men at all. The audience walks into the cinema.

After the first week, "Legend of the White Snake" won 5 million box office in 6000 days.

"Painted Wall" received 4 million in 4500 days, and the difference between the two is only 1500 million from the first day of "Legend of the White Snake".

And "Looking for the Dragon" ranked first in the box office of the week with a super high box office of 3 million in 1.4 days.

Juli Media Group, Yang Zi and Huang Cheyi looked extremely ugly. The box office of 5 million in 6000 days was a complete failure for this film with an investment of nearly [-] million.

Even if the overseas copyright was sold before, it can only just protect the capital.

Yang Zi said angrily, "I actually believed Wang Changtian's words. I made an appointment not to cheat on each other. I didn't prepare at all. It's too late to react now!"

Huang Kaiyi also sighed, patted her husband's arm and persuaded, "Don't blame yourself too much, who knows that the chairman of Wang Changtiantangtang has no reputation at all, as expected of Yuji, there is no bottom line in doing things."

Although she has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, seeing those vicious comments, Huang Cheyi's heart is full of anger.

She went on to say, "Fortunately, Han Tang didn't take action, otherwise the situation would have been even worse."

Yang Zi smiled wryly and shook his head, "He didn't bother to make a move. Let's see if he will stand by and watch if our box office is high now."

"But it's useless to say anything now, there are still 5 days left for the holiday, and we still have a chance!"

"That's right, now that "Looking for the Dragon" is a big hit, Wang Changtian probably will mainly deal with Han and Tang."

Guangxian Media.

Wang Changtian is also very satisfied with his marketing results, only one day away from the box office of "Legend of the White Snake".

Half a month before the release, Wang Changtian found Yang Zi, and the two parties agreed not to blackmail each other and to compete fairly.

At that time, he was just setting off a smoke bomb, but he didn't expect Yang Zi to take it seriously, he was caught off guard without any preparation.

After living on dogs for so many years, and still managing such a large group, sooner or later he will be defeated.

Wang Changtian shook his head contemptuously, and now he doesn't take "Legend of the White Snake" seriously.

However, after killing a "Legend of the White Snake", another stronger opponent came, 3 million in 1.4 days, 5300 in a single day, which is worth the box office of "Painted Wall" in 4 days.

"Forget about "Legend of the White Snake" for now, and concentrate all resources on "Looking for the Dragon". No matter what method I use, I will pull down the other party's box office and praise!"

At the meeting, Wang Changtian gave orders in a cold voice!
No one questioned that there was anything wrong with dealing with former partners.

As Guangxian shifted his target, "Legend of the White Snake" breathed a sigh of relief, but in the past few days, the movie's good reputation has been completely ruined.

On the Internet, various media, and self-media began to spread frantically about "Looking for the Dragon", and the ratings on professional websites also dropped again and again.

Han Tang Media Group, Tang An is also meeting with the Propaganda Department, Public Relations Department, and Distribution Department.

Director of Propaganda Department Zhu Mo turned on the large LCD monitor in the conference room and reported, "Chairman, Guangxian is completely trying to catch our attention. "Spells", we send out a draft, and the other party immediately sends out another one."

Looking at the data on the display screen, all three movies in the National Day file were among the top ten most searched on Weibo and Baidu.

A large number of "Painted Wall" news and posts have brought "Looking for the Dragon" to engage in bundled marketing.

Zhu Mo went on to say, "There is also this Weibo account named "Filmmaker Tucao Special", which has been very active recently. Including the "Xinhai Revolution" that was released before, all movies have been hacked by him in the past three months. The key What’s more, some half-truths and half-false secrets often come out, which attract many netizens.”

"The "Filmmaker Tucao Special" is Guangxian's publicity and planning director, and his Weibo account "Wood Carving Zen Master" is the same person, you can disclose this information to Xingmei, Huayi, Moying, New Screen, Wanda and others .”

This is the "Wood Carving Black Water" incident in the next few days. Since August, this account has hacked all the movies that are currently and will be released in China, and most companies have been involved.

Except for Guangxian's movie, except for this "Painted Wall" which is not black, it took more than a week before it was picked up.

And it's not just black movies, major companies, directors, actors, including Jing Tian's identity, and the Ou Lante club opened by the wife of the richest man is a replica of heaven and earth, complaining that the prince is biting people like a mad dog, and using his father's money to mess around bite.
All the companies have been sprayed by him. If they do negative marketing for the film, it's fine to scold the actors and directors, but this is a bit too much.

Now that he and Guang Xian are rivals, Tang An doesn't mind being exposed in advance.

Although it was strange for Tang An to be so clear, Zhu Mo didn't say anything, only thinking that Tang An had other channels.

"I will inform other companies immediately, presumably Wanda should be very happy."

Zhu Mo went on to say, "Now the negative marketing of "Looking for the Dragon" is focused on the fact that it does not conform to the original work. All the characters have been criticized over and over again, and countless "original party" all kinds of criticisms emerged within a day."

"Let's increase the propaganda, and use all channels." Tang An ordered.

There is no other way. At this time, what we are fighting for is money and resources, and everything else is empty.

None of the actors has top-level appeal, and the director is not a top-level director. Even if the movie has a good reputation, it will definitely not work without the support of publicity.

Guang Xian has strong publicity skills, but no matter how strong he is, he dare not spend too much money.

The film "Painted Wall" is worth 8000 million at the box office. If Wang Changtian spent [-] to [-] million on publicity, he definitely wouldn't do it, and he would lose money.

Tang An didn't have this concern. The publicity budget was capped at 8000 million. He didn't care about spending it all, and there were overseas channels.

"Looking for the Dragon" is still released at the same time overseas. Although other countries do not have the festival of November, it is still early for the popular schedule in November, but it happens that there are no movies released at this time, which is not bad.

The box office in Asia reached 3 million in 460 days, mainly concentrated in Singapore, which is the headquarters of MediaCorp, while other countries such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand contributed a little more.

The North American distribution rights were entrusted to Columbia, which opened 1800 theaters with a good schedule, which was larger than the original release scale of "Edge of Tomorrow".

However, the box office was not satisfactory. It did not break one million on the first day, and 290 million US dollars in three days.

The situation in Europe is not so good, with 270 million US dollars in three days.

The main ticket warehouse is still in Asia, and Xiangjiang is not good either. It costs 100 million Hong Kong dollars in three days, and in the end it will be almost 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

The same is true for Baodao. Although this is the base camp of Chen Guofu, the people of Baodao still don’t buy it. It costs 800 million Taiwan dollars in three days, equivalent to 180 million yuan.

Although it's not a lot, but fifty or sixty countries add up to a lot. Tang An has the confidence to spend 8000 million publicity fees!

In order to guarantee the film schedule, Tang An went to meet with the major theaters in person. Singmei, Wanda, Poly Wanhe, China Film Digital, and China Film United have all raised their film schedules.

Moying was shut down, after all, last year it killed the "Orphan of the Zhao Family" invested by the other party.

However, they did not deliberately reduce the film schedule of "Looking for the Dragon", and they will not make trouble with money.

By the 3rd, the film schedule of "Looking for the Dragon" had risen to 48%, and another 5800 million was collected in a single day.

On the 4th, the film schedule reached 53%, and the single-day box office broke through 6000 million, creating a single-day box office record for Chinese-language movies.

After the 5th, 6th, and 7th, a total of 1.9 million was obtained in three days.

It was released for 8 days, with a total box office of 4.32 million!
You must know that last year's "Edge of Tomorrow" only won 11 million box office in 5 days!
Over the past year, domestic screens have grown by 30%. It is also a 3D movie with a 7-day holiday. This figure is normal.

During the entire National Day holiday, "Looking for the Dragon" spent a total of nearly 4000 million publicity expenses. All kinds of publicity spread all over the country, big and small cities, and every corner of the entire network. It forcibly relied on huge amounts of cash to overwhelm Guangxian in publicity.

Under the 4000 million public relations, those negative marketing did not have any impact on the film.

Even "Painted Wall" earned 9 million at the box office within 1.1 days of its release. No matter how bad the word-of-mouth was, Guangxian relied on his strong publicity ability and the popularity of "Looking for the Dragon" to boost the box office. .

However, "Legend of the White Snake" went a bit high and low, and the box office was 10 million in 1.2 days after its release, which was only 1000 million more than "Painted Wall". The impact of negative marketing was too great.

Guangxian's director of publicity and planning who was wearing the vest of "Filmmakers Tucao" was also picked up a few days ago, and it was confirmed that he was Guangxian's person.

Wang Changtian killed his relatives righteously, apologized to Wang Shoufu, Xingmei and the others, fired him, and explained that this was his personal behavior and had nothing to do with Guangxian.

On October 10th, it was still in Guangxian Media's large conference room, but the atmosphere was not as good.

The negative marketing of "Looking for the Dragon" failed. The other party took more than 8 million box office in 4 days, which was a complete failure.

Wang Changtian sighed, "Let's focus on promoting "Painted Wall" from now on, and leave "Looking for the Dragon" alone."

"Alright Mr. Wang."

The person in charge of the public relations department nodded. It was true that the cost was too much. If you spend more money, unless "Painted Wall" sold for more than 2 million at the box office, you would lose money.

Now that the long holiday is over, the current priority is to keep the box office of "Painted Wall" from plummeting on weekdays.

The director, Cheng Jiashang, has been very depressed these days. Although compared to a small-budget movie, breaking 8 million in [-] days is considered a success, but it is still far from enough to set up his own brand in the mainland.

And even though he fired at Tang An on Weibo these days, only the official Weibo of Hantang Media and the official Weibo of Xunlongjue responded to him. Tang An ignored him once and was completely ignored.

In the following working days, "Looking for the Dragon" still maintained a stable trend relying on its good reputation.

Finally, by the end of October, "Looking for the Dragon" struggled to climb to the 10 million box office in the mainland, sweeping the entire National Day file, ranking No.9 in the history of Chinese-language films, second only to "Edge of Tomorrow".

The box office in more than 50 overseas countries and regions has also reached as high as 3850 million U.S. dollars, and other copyrights such as overseas physical media copyrights, online copyrights, and television copyrights have sold a total of 1000 million U.S. dollars in dozens of countries.

As for the overseas share, according to the sharing rules of each country and region, it can be divided into about 1200 million.
In other words, there are a total of 2200 million US dollars in net income overseas, and the bulk is still taken away by the issuer.

At this time of the movie screening, there were basically not many box office sales, and a detailed financial statement was also placed on Tang An's desk.

There are so many countries around the world that are showing on a large scale, the box office of 3800 million US dollars is still low, after all, it is cultural differences.

After tidying up, Tang An went to the hotel to hold a press conference to celebrate the crew's 9 million box office success.

The press conference was harmonious. After all, the box office is 9 million, so it's a big deal.

At the subsequent reception, Tang An also toasted Wu Ershan and several leading actors.

"Thank you, Director Tang, for giving me this opportunity, and I offer you a toast."

Chen Kun and Huang Bo then took the initiative to toast Tang An.

"I wasn't the one who chose you. I should thank Director Wu a lot." Tang An laughed.

9 million box office celebration banquet, many people in the circle came to join in, after all, it is the No.2 Chinese movie.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and Wang Zhonglei all came.

Wang Changtian came over and congratulated sincerely, "Congratulations to Director Tang, another [-] million-level movie has been released."
