Non-famous Actor

Generally speaking, the box office of "Journey to the West: The Lion Camel Ridge" was not bad on the night of its release. Converted into US dollars, the global box office totaled 16.15 million US dollars.

Although it is not as popular as "Fast and Furious" and "The Martian", it is much better than the original "Source Code" and "Train to Busan".

However, there are also great hidden worries in the truth!

According to media reports, the relevant departments of Taiwan Province are already discussing whether to release the film in advance because the scene of "Journey to the West: The Lion Camel Ridge" is too bloody and terrifying, which caused discomfort to many viewers.

The relevant departments in Singapore are also discussing whether to let it be released in advance because the scenes of "Journey to the West: The Lion Camel Ridge" are too bloody and terrifying, which caused discomfort to many moviegoers.

...

Relevant departments in 27 countries including Malaysia, Thailand, India, Vietnam, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba are also discussing whether to release "Journey to the West: Lion Camel Ridge" in advance.

At present, there are four countries with a relatively strong will to screen, the United States, Japan, Canada and New Zealand. The movie audiences in their countries are born with thick nerves, and they simply love this movie to the bone...

It is said that according to media reports, most moviegoers are not enough to appreciate it once, and want to watch it twice!

Compared with foreign countries, the biggest crisis of this movie is still in China. Although the box office of the movie reached 4.75 million yuan in the mainland last night, various problems have appeared in various provinces and cities in the mainland.

For example, a 76-year-old lady in Shanghai went to a cinema with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson to watch a movie. After watching the movie for less than ten minutes, she felt a little uncomfortable. The ticket price is 1 yuan, so I plan to stick to it...

But the old lady persisted for another five minutes. When she saw the picture of "a piece of human skin hanging on the tree and fluttering in the wind" on the screen, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from fright.

...

"Haoko, what shall we do?"

As soon as Yu Dong finished introducing the above situation, Han Shanye asked first.

"Um…"

Sun Hao returned to his living room, picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and asked, "What do you two mean..."

"No money lost!"

Han Shanye speaks very directly.

"Haozi, the experts in the marketing department of China Film Group who are in charge of film distribution and promotion have carefully estimated that if we rely solely on the box office of movies in North America and Japan, our "Journey to the West: Lion Camel Ridge" with an investment of nearly 200 million U.S. dollars There is a very high probability of losing money, because it is a bit difficult for a movie to break through $600 million at the box office.

And what I mean is, can you think of a trick in the promotion of the movie, so that we can make money while the relevant departments in various countries around the world are still discussing whether to officially remove the movie? "

"able!"

This time, Sun Hao spoke very directly.

"Yes..., but I'm afraid that the two of you are afraid to do it, or you are unwilling to do it."

November 1, 2003, Halloween, Saturday afternoon

Today, Bei Wu rests.

Coincidentally, Teacher Jin Xing went to Shanghai these days, and there was no rehearsal for the Olympic dance "Tang Palace Night Banquet", which was under strict secrecy, so Wang Likun sneaked out of her busy schedule to watch a movie at the Jintaro Cinema near Beiwu.

No matter how frightening or frightening the movie of the idol Mr. Sun Hao is, you still have to buy a movie ticket and go to the screening hall to support it.

However, just as Wang Likun entered the door, he saw a child rehearsing dance with him~Jing Tian.

"Hey, Tiantian, are you going to watch the movie too?"

"Ah... Sister Likun, you are here, are you here to watch a movie too?" Jing Tian was very happy to see an acquaintance.

"yes!"

"Then, can you take me in?

Sister Likun, the ticket seller just said that I am underage and cannot go to the cinema alone to watch "Journey to the West: The Lion Camel Ridge". If I really want to watch it, I must be accompanied by adults. "

"OK!"

This little favor, Wang Likun can still agree.

"However, Tiantian, you have to promise me first that you won't be scared by the plot in the movie and cry, hahaha..."

In front of the ticket gate of the movie theater, facing Wang Likun's teasing, Jing Tian, ​​who was about to line up with her again, was not annoyed, but said solemnly:

"Sister Likun, I think you said this a bit early, maybe you will be the first to cry when we watch the movie later?!"

"Uh..." Wang Likun was taken aback for a moment, and then opened his hands, trying to pinch Jingtian.

"Tiantian, that's fine, you have a sharp mouth, and you can mock people at such a young age. See if I don't strangle you to death."

"Hey..., Sister Likun, please spare me!"

Seeing that Wang Likun was about to pounce, Jing Tian made a gesture to run away.

However, when the two were laughing and playing, seven or eight boys suddenly came in from outside the movie theater. These boys were all tall and big, and they were all dressed in black suits, white shirts, and black leather shoes.

These people didn't stay at the ticket window, they negotiated with the people at the ticket gate, and then went straight into the screening area.

Because it is not clear what these people are here for? As a result, moviegoers queuing up to buy tickets at the ticket window are buzzing.

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Did someone faint from fright in the theater again?"

"It doesn't look like it, because a person was scared and passed out at the Xindadi Cinema in the morning. He was taken away by an ambulance, and the doctors and nurses went in to carry him."

"Go in and lift people..."

"Fuck, if it's about going in and carrying people, then those people just now are a bit similar."

"like what?"

"The funeral home staff!"

"Oh ah!"

Perhaps the guess of someone who was queuing was too horrifying, which immediately caused a commotion in front of the ticket window of the movie theater.

"Then why are you watching a movie?"

"Yes, no matter how good the movie is, let's go and go home."

"Let's go, go home. I don't know what Sun Hao is thinking. The movie he made is so good, but he has to shoot such a scary "Journey to the West"."

...

However, just as these moviegoers walked out together with Wang Likun and Jing Tian who were also a little at a loss, suddenly, a woman with an unusually capable temperament and image ran out from the screening area of ​​the movie theater.

"My friends, please wait a moment, I have something to say..."

"What are you going to say? People are dead here, so why don't we go in and watch a movie?" Before the woman finished speaking, someone in the crowd stood up and said.

"Oh... it's Director Kaige. I didn't expect you to come." The woman obviously knew the celebrities in the film and television industry, and greeted him with a smile, then turned her head to look at the person who was about to leave everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Tong, the manager of Kintaro Cinema, and I can tell everyone responsibly that those people who came into the cinema just now are not what you think at all..."

"What's that like?" Someone asked again.

"They're here to refund the money!"

"Refundable..."

Hearing these three words, everyone who was grumpy just now fell silent.

"Yes, they are here to refund the money!

Because according to the latest regulations of China Film Group and Bona Films, the domestic distributors of "Journey to the West: Lion Camel Ridge", all viewers who have purchased movie tickets will spend less than 20 hours in the screening hall from the moment the movie screening starts. For minutes, the movie ticket will be refunded in full, for more than 20 minutes but less than an hour, 80% of the face value will be refunded..."
