The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 293 I'm not worried about the box office at all

"It seems that Dunhuang is going to bring another big hit?!"

In the Oriental Star Cinema, after putting boxes of surrounding goods on the shelves, Li Junwu said happily to the boss who came to inspect.

Oriental Star Cinema is one of the chain theaters under Sky Cinemas and is also a super-large theater with the top three passenger flow in the capital. Li Junwu works in this theater and is responsible for the surrounding sales counters.

As the Spring Festival approaches, he becomes more and more busy, but Li Junwu is happy about it - his income is closely related to sales performance. To a certain extent, he hopes that movies can be sold well than Dunhuang, so that he can get more commissions.

However, the supervisor did not give a positive answer and asked, "How can I see it?"

Do you need to guess more?

Li Junwu's eyes fell on the perimeter of "The Totoro" full of "The Totoro" placed on the container.

If I weren't quite optimistic about this movie, how could the theater have so many goods?

"Then you guessed it wrong. As far as I know, most mainstream theaters, including our Sky Cinema, are more optimistic about "The Lion King"."

The supervisor's eyes fell on the surroundings of the "Lion King" which was also placed on the other side of the container.

"I always feel like you have made some unknown FLAG for this movie. This time I was slapped in the face, it is very likely that you were."

Yes, in addition to "The Totoro", there is another animated film released at the same time during this Spring Festival, which is "The Lion King" produced by Disney introduced by Tang Yu Media.

Although director Xu Zhonghe is an honest person, honest people are often more serious, especially in their beloved works;

No one will deny that a great charm of "The Totoro" comes from the natural beauty depicted in the film; and these beautiful scenery were all seen by Xu Zhonghe with his own eyes;

...

When Wang Wei's words to his partners spread, many film prediction agencies replaced the titles that were originally prepared, similar to "The old 2D animation overlord will teach newbies a hard lesson" with titles of "Who wins and who will lose in the battle between Hollywood and the Chinese entertainment industry?"

Wang Wei put down the newspaper in his hand, blinked with a wicked smile, "I didn't say anything big, I really don't worry about the box office at all - it won't be high anyway."

Now, he fully understands Wang Wei’s intentions—

And this is not a good thing to Comrade Lao Wang's eyes.

Li Junwu blinked and understood!

The so-called shadow of the famous tree of man.

"In addition, Dunhuang also made a promise that if you can't sell it out, you can refund it."

Although the audiences of these two animated films are highly cross-border, and although theaters are more optimistic about "The Lion King"... it is Wang Wei who comes forward to make a promise! It is Wang Wei who never fails!

Even the theater chain who is most familiar with the market, subconsciously reserves his own judgment in front of Wang Wei.

The final result is naturally very good when the master takes action: the relaxed and cute music can instantly awaken the innocent and light childhood, giving people a fairy tale-like intimacy and warmth - of course, the fee is also at the "master" level...

He glanced at Wang Wei who was looking through various Spring Festival previews, and sighed.

The supervisor also explained, "First of all, the script of "Tongkat" is still written by Wang Wei, and he even assured the merchants who cooperate to promote the surrounding areas that he is not worried about the box office of this movie!"

Therefore, although they are more inclined to the Lion King, they unconsciously raised their expectations for the Totoro.

Finally, I had to invite the Chinese entertainment music master Yao Weihong.

Lao Wang glared at him, but could not refute.

This guy doesn't expect the movie to be sold at the box office at all. What he expects is the movie's peripheral products. Well, the main reason is that the Chinchilla's peripherals can be sold at the box office!

However, after understanding Wang Wei's true intentions, Lao Wang became even more uneasy-

In fact, it is not only the theaters that are affected by Wang Wei's words.

These words made Li Junwu take a breath, "Dunhuang is going to have a big bet!"

This is totally the truth, okay?

But Li Junwu was a little confused-

"What's more, so many manufacturers help us promote peripheral products, I have to give them some confidence!" Wang Wei spread his hands and said.

In addition, he also has extremely high requirements for the soundtrack of the movie - he should neither emphasize mystery nor be too intimate, but also sound dreamy, soft and tolerant, and even require that the corresponding movie scenes appear in his mind when he hears the melody...

There is no way, they were slapped in the face too many times when predicting Wang Wei's performance.

"I'm not worried about the box office at all!"

The supervisor nodded in agreement, "After all, it was a work that Wang Wei personally endorsed!"

This sounds like to make things difficult for the musician to make a fuss!

But Wang Wei also agreed or even allowed Zhonghe to make such a request.

Because what he wants is not to make the fictional things look realistic, but to present the real things. For this reason, he does not hesitate to go to all parts of the country to survey the scenery, and draws it from the real scenery to form the beautiful scenery in the movie;

Therefore, as soon as you see Wang Wei showing infinite confidence, the prediction agency will first lose confidence.

At least judging from the almost-different peripheral inventory volume, it is really impossible to see that the theater has any obvious tendency towards these two animations.

——If you ask who in the Chinese entertainment industry has left the biggest psychological shadow on film prediction agencies, it must be Wang Wei and his wife!

Disney, an animated film that is said to be a five-year-old sword, has been released in North America one step ahead of schedule, with rave reviews. Many North American media even called it the "pinpoint of 2D animated films"!

It is not surprising that theaters are optimistic about such a work.

As for other people and the media's understanding of "not worrying" is another meaning, it's nothing to do with him.

You know, the production cost of "Tongpao" is not low.

In short, the final production cost of this simple-looking animated film reached almost 40 million!

The cost of publicity and distribution is also added - although I don’t plan to compete with competitors in the same period, it is impossible to do nothing about publicity; and with the more severe situation facing Dunhuang in publicity, I have to spend real money, and if I estimate it slightly, it will be tens of millions.

According to Wang Wei's plan, if you don't compete in publicity - well, I guess you can't compete in it - there will be fewer film schedules in theaters; if there are fewer film schedules, the screening cycle will not be difficult to shorten, but the box office will definitely not be too good;

The subsequent TV copyright will be sold half-sold and half-get-out. Damn, the box office is not good, and I can't even sell it at a high price. This means it will be the first movie in Dunhuang to lose money in the box office in recent years.

How much does it take to sell to recover the cost?!

What makes Lao Wang the most uneasy is—

There are really bad box office cases, but are there any movies that are selling well around?

MMP, why do you feel like you are going to be in a situation of failure?!!

...

First, there is a short update, and there is another update. I guess tomorrow morning, friends who are watching it quickly can get up and watch it~~~
