My Animation Era

"Mr. Gu, we are on fire!"

On the first day of the new year, as soon as Gu Miao arrived at the company, she saw Ma Kui acting like Fan Jin had passed the exam and kept shouting all kinds of weird things.

"Don't go crazy here. If anything happens, come into my office and talk about it."

Even if Gu Miao was thick-skinned, it was too embarrassing to be stared at by the surrounding employees as if they were watching a monkey show.

In order to prevent this guy from continuing to be embarrassed, Gu Miao simply dragged him into the office, closed the door and asked, "Why did it become so popular? Tell me!"

"Movie!"

Ma Kui danced and said: "Our movie! Didn't you watch the morning news? Due to a technical failure, the movie was delayed and the theater manager was forced to kneel down in front of the audience."

And this thing?

When Gu Miao heard this, she immediately became interested. When he took out his mobile phone and searched online, he quickly found relevant reports.

It turned out to be a movie theater in Zhonghai. Due to technical glitches, the screening of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Snake Comes Around" originally scheduled for 7 a.m. had to be delayed.

Originally this was just a small thing.

The theater not only promised to refund the tickets, but also offered to give away 100 yuan in travel expenses to each audience member who booked the tickets as compensation.

But the audience is not happy!

In order to watch the movie "Snake" on the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people came to the cinema without washing or brushing their teeth or even eating breakfast.

Can't see the result?

Is this a matter of money or not? Compensation for travel expenses is useless. Everyone just wants to watch a movie and doesn't want any compensation at all.

Movie theaters are in a tough spot.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the schedule is already very tight. Every theater is full and the movie tickets have already been sold out.

If these audiences want to watch a movie, there must be a place for them!

Cinemas really can't squeeze out extra auditoriums and spaces, so they can only suffer this group of viewers and wait patiently for the equipment to be repaired before watching.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

Facing the emotional and clamoring audience who insisted on watching the movie, the theater staff was so anxious that they shed tears.

Finally, seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the theater manager simply resorted to "kneel down on the spot", which barely calmed the audience's anger.

In the Internet age, information spreads very quickly.

Not long after this incident happened, it quickly spread across the country and was on the real-time hot search list on Weibo, attracting the curiosity of countless passers-by.

Is it really that beautiful?

If you can't see the movie, then don't watch it. Why did you start a fight with the theater and finally forced the theater manager to kneel on the spot?

The exposure of this news undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of "Snake Comes Around", which is currently being screened.

Many passers-by who were originally not interested and had no intention of watching the movie, after seeing the news, ran to nearby movie theaters to see the magic of "Snake Comes Around".

"A good thing, a great thing!"

After learning what happened, Gu Miao was overjoyed and said: "This kneeling will give us at least 20 million more box office. He is our great benefactor!"

Moved, tearful...

This theater manager sacrificed himself to fulfill Wanbao. This act moved Gu Miao so much.

If it weren't for the worry about the negative impact, Gu Miao would have planned to order a banner with the message "Sacrifice oneself for others" and give it to the theater manager.

Of course, this is a joke.

If you give a banner as a gift, your intention to gain popularity is too obvious. With the current popularity of the movie "Snake", Gu Miao doesn't even bother to do such a popular thing.

If others take the initiative to take advantage of the popularity of a movie, how can there be any reason for a film producer to take advantage of others?

Speaking of which...

Gu Miao thought of a certain UP owner of Wanbao Video Animation Commentary Area, Liu Zida, who claimed to be the "number one fan of Sanshui" but was actually the leader of the black fans.

This is the expert who takes advantage of the popularity!

The movie didn't premiere until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. This guy updated the commentary video at 5 o'clock in the morning. His level of professionalism is simply embarrassing.

"This guy is interesting!"

Ma Kui also watched the video Liu Zida just posted and couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Gu, I remember that he is not your black fan? How come he has become a true fan now?"

"What do you know? This is called Chuanzi!"

"Don't mention this little black guy to me in the future. I feel sick when I hear this name." Gu Miao said very speechlessly.

At first.

Gu Miao was very pleased to see the former anti-fan leader change his ways and brag about his achievements in videos all day long, thinking that it was his charisma that conquered the anti-fans.

But he realized it later.

From black to pink?

This is pure fart! Liu Zida is a typical "bright pink but really dark" person. You can feel it from what he said. The cross-dressing is too obvious.

This man has a very bad conscience!

Gu Miao, who was deceived emotionally, didn't like Liu Zida very much. However, he also admitted that Liu Zida, a little black man who showed his flaws, could not be liquidated for the time being.

Because he is useful to Gu Miao.

To be more precise, Liu Zida, who has tens of millions of fans across the Internet, played a "crucial" role in the early promotion of the movie "Snake Comes Around".

After the updated video was uploaded at 5 a.m., as of 9 a.m. this morning, the number of video views had exceeded 5 million, attracting thousands of passers-by to watch the movie in the theater.

Is this equivalent to ‘live streaming’?

For the sake of attracting many viewers to him, Gu Miao turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing happened.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Not only is it the first day of the Guisi year of the lunar calendar, but it is also the first day of the Lunar New Year season for domestic films, which is a fierce battle for the box office.

There are a total of eight movies scheduled to be released today, including six domestic movies and two imported overseas movies.

Don’t look at the number of people...

But in fact, among these eight films in the same period, four films had an appallingly low scheduling rate and were considered abandoned by theaters.

There are only four films in total that are truly favored by theaters and have box-office competitiveness.

They are the romance film "Love Never Stops" starring actor Peng Ze, the historical drama "Remember 1942" by the well-known New Year film director Xiaogang Pao, the Hollywood imported film "Machine Command VI" and the animated film "Pleasant Goat and Goat". Big Big Wolf's Snake Comes to Turn".

Four films, four genres.

From romance, history, science fiction to animation, it can definitely satisfy the different movie-watching tastes of different audiences.

Among these four films, the theater chain's main bets, or allocation of film resources, are "Review of 1942" and "Mechanical Directive VI", with Snake Lai Run ranked third.

Needless to say, Machinery Directive VI.

Hollywood blockbusters are still the public's favorite science fiction theme. It's a money-making business. As long as the theaters are not stupid, they will definitely provide high-ranking film resources.

As for 1942...

That must be attributed to the appeal of the well-known film director, also known as the "King of Lunar New Year Film Festival".

This guy, Xiaogangpao, was really good in the past few years! Almost every year, the Lunar New Year movies come out on top, and each movie’s box office is higher than the last.

In the face of such a proud record, it is understandable that the theaters chose to trust him.

But...
