Entertainment upstart

Chapter 426 Done, start shooting

In the past, during the Spring Festival, comedies and cartoons were mainly screened. Generally, other blockbuster films would not be inserted into this schedule, and they would all be squeezed into the Lunar New Year file.

But last year, there were no good imported movies, and there were no other blockbusters. "Charlotte" was an instant hit and set multiple box office records. China Film and Television has monopolized it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xia couldn't help thinking about whether to move the movie up.

In the Lunar New Year file, Lao Mouzi and Xu Laoguai competed, and several movies were scared back to the Spring Festival file, which caused the current situation of the Spring Festival file.

But he knew the situation. Lao Mouzi and Xu Laoguai, or Xinhuamian and Berna, both lost in the fight, and the performance of the two movies could only be said to be passable.

If he puts "Chinatown" on file, at least before the release of "Sherlock Holmes", there will be only three of them competing for the film schedule. Relatively speaking, the film schedule will be better.

Half a month after the release of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate", the performance has already been weak, and "Chinatown" will be released just in time, so it can be regarded as avoiding reality.

The more Zhou Xia thought about it, the more reasonable it became, but there was still a problem to face.

That is, he starred in "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate", and Lao Mouzi can be regarded as his mentor. If he did this, he would not give Xu Laoguai and Lao Mouzi any face.

"It doesn't matter, let's set the file on January 1 and occupy the Spring Festival file in advance. At that time, the students are basically on vacation, and everything is fine.

The performance of "The Girl Who Chased Together in Those Years" released on January 1 can only be said to be mediocre, selling more than 6 million.

After all, it has been shown in Wanwan for a long time, and many people have already seen the pirated version on the Internet, and relatively few people go to see it in theaters.

As for the box office performance of "Sherlock Holmes 2", it sold 1.8 million yuan, and "The Great Magician" box office was 1.7 million yuan. As for "The Eight Star Annunciation", last year's "The Strongest Happy Event" was already a bad movie, and people will watch it this year. Even less, the final box office was only 8000 million; and "The Dinner is Crazy" had high audience expectations, but the movie was very average. It was released on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it finally earned 4000 million at the box office.

So as long as they catch up with the schedule of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" and successfully break out, then the follow-up will have an advantage and will always suppress the schedule of other movies.

Even when it's the Spring Festival holiday, movies can still get an advantage in film scheduling.

In this way, we can avoid the strongest enemy "Mission: Impossible 4", which has a box office of 6.7 million in the mainland!
After Zhou Xia thought it over, he called Zhang Zhao over and told him the general idea. After the two communicated, he did all the publicity and theater arrangements.

Now Miaoyan Films has formed the Miaoyan Theater Line, mainly to attract some individual theaters to join. Miaoyan Movies itself has opened a large theater in each of the top ten ticket warehouses in the country. Counting the franchised theaters, there are 35 theaters in total. .

"Chinatown" will be released at the end of the year, and some theaters are still in contact with Miaoyan and want to join.

After all, after joining the Miaoyan theater chain, selling "Chinatown" will definitely gain a great advantage. At that time, Miaoyan will definitely pay more tickets for its own theaters, so that more people will buy tickets and the attendance rate will be higher. , theater profits will be higher.

This link is closely integrated, otherwise there is no need for other theaters to join the Miaoyan theater line.

After joining, Xia Hua's movies will also gain these advantages in the future, which is very cost-effective for those individual theaters.

Even if the Miaoyan theater chain will take two points for the management fee in the end, the management model and benefits it provides are far greater than what they paid for it.

This is also the reason why Meow Eye Movies has expanded so rapidly.

Regarding the issue of ticket compensation, Miaoyan mainly obtained pre-roll advertisements and other forms of advertisements, and then fed back to the theaters, otherwise Miaoyan would not have so much money.

This is why many people buy cheap tickets online. Some of the fares are less, but it is actually equivalent to paying for advertisements.

In this way, when you watch a movie, you will find many forms of advertisements, or advertisements before the movie starts, or advertisements on ticket buying websites, etc.

After arranging the movie, Zhou Xia went to meet Xiao Ai before joining the filming group of "Painted Skin 2".

Mina starred in a movie, but Xiao Ai didn't. Although she didn't say anything, she probably had something in her heart, so she went to comfort her.

The two met in Zhou Xia's newly bought apartment for Xiao Ai, which was just over 1000 meters away from the Film Academy.

Xiao Ai was very happy to see Zhou Xia. After all, the movie was already like this, and it was good to be comforted by Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia may be secretly photographed by the paparazzi when he travels nowadays. Every time he is in the company, he will take another car, so the paparazzi can't find where others are going.

Squatting in the company all night, or following his special car to other places, but found that Zhou Xia was nowhere to be seen.

After many times, they all know that Zhou Xia is an old driver and very experienced. Some people just gave up, and some people simply changed their thinking and focused on Zhou Xia's residence in the imperial capital.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xia bought a new house for Xiao Ai. Other places are no longer safe, and he is also very helpless.

The newly bought apartment for Xiao Ai is considered a well-known real estate in Sanlitun, and many celebrities live in it. The environment is very good and safe, and it is about [-] square meters.

Xiao Ai didn't want to accept it, and was worried that others would suspect her. After all, she was a student at school, and her family was also running a small business. It was really unreasonable to buy such a house in the imperial capital.

In the end, there was no other way, the house was finally written under Zhou Xia's name.

But everything is left to Xiao Ai to take care of, and the room is also decorated according to her hobbies.

Xiao Ai decorated the house in a warm and atmospheric way, with a dedicated exercise room and a big bathroom!

Zhou Xia saw that Xiao Ai was very happy to see him, and didn't mention the movie, so she smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, school is starting now, and you are already a sophomore. Is your teacher strict, and you are allowed to go out to film? ?”

"It's okay. The freshmen don't agree with it. In the sophomore year, if the opportunity is good, the school will generally let it go. Don't you know this?"

Xiao Ai looked at Zhou Xia strangely.

"That's what I said, but the general school will not agree to ask for leave, unless you can play the role of the heroine, supporting roles, guest roles and so on will basically not agree."

Zhou Xia sat on the sofa with Xiao Ai, let her cuddle up in her arms, and explained to her.

"Is that so, then what will be my next role?" Xiao Ai asked involuntarily, she also didn't want to go to school anymore.

"For you, next year, I will shoot a movie where you are the heroine. Do you know about "Legend of Sword and Sword 4"? The company will shoot this movie next year, and you will be the heroine."

"really?"

Xiao Ai immediately sat up in surprise, she couldn't believe the question she heard for a moment.

She is a newcomer.
