The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 65 The student group that is no longer silent

The summer season has officially entered the intense strangulation stage.

On Saturday alone, four popular films competed on the same stage.

One word, volume!

Among them, "Genius Gunslinger", which has the smallest investment but the highest popularity, is quite conspicuous.

No, the box office on Friday was only 19.76 million, and the daily box office streak of 20 million+ was interrupted.

Obviously, some viewers were affected by the negative comments and gave up on the film.

This greatly encouraged competitors.

Newspapers continued to find logical loopholes in the film, eager to expose all the bugs to the public; this smear wave even spread to the television industry.

After the morning news that day, the entertainment channel of Tang Yu TV inserted an interview with the parents and viewers who came out of the theater of "The Genius" last night in an entertainment program.

No matter how many media outlets smear it, the theaters are the most discerning. This kind of thing happens every summer season.

It's just that it couldn't find geniuses like the male and female protagonists in "The Genius", and the cheating efficiency was too low, so it turned to bribe the examination room staff.

And among them, how to collude with each other, how to secretly recruit rich candidates, how to keep it secret for as long as two years... is no less thrilling than the thrilling arrangements in the movie.

The echo between this kind of movie and reality has awakened the memories of cheating in exams for many people who have been away from the exam room for many years.

"Does it look good? I saw some people praised it and others criticized it in the newspapers, but I don't know which one I should believe?"

The fourth letter...

"The Gunslinger" has been in theaters for three days, and the audience's early reputation has finally begun to ferment, taking the lead in igniting the enthusiasm of the student group for watching the movie.

A similar scene occurs among college students, middle school students, and even elementary school students.

This situation also alarmed the theater chain's management.

"I was still thinking about how to fight with the media, but unexpectedly the students spoke up for me first."

And often the more popular movies are, the more severe the criticism they receive from public opinion.

Who hasn’t cheated once or twice in their student career? Especially after going to college.

I really want to see how big the gap is with the cheating of "geniuses".

So on Saturday, the rest day, many office workers came to the cinema excitedly to buy tickets for "The Gunslinger".

But the income from selling popcorn and soda belongs entirely to the theaters.

The first letter was written in childish handwriting. Wang Wei was silent for a moment after reading it.

"The character's outlook on life is not correct. I'm afraid it will affect the children's outlook on life..."

The student group is the best place for them to earn popcorn and spend money.

Especially students who are at the beginning of their vacation have a lot of free time, and they are always calling friends. As soon as they leave, a large number of people flock to the cinema.

No matter how good a reputation is, it still needs time to ferment.

…

"Newspapers? Come on, many newspapers are as if they are afraid that we won't be able to tell that we have received money. They are so dark that they are stupid. You will know after watching the movie. The filming is very cool and will definitely suit your taste."

"What you said is so mysterious, I really want to take a look."

"..."

This is the most popular group of moviegoers in theaters!

You know, this is the first week of the release of popular movies such as "The Gunslinger", and theaters only get 10 to 20 percent of the box office.

More media are extremely interested in the linkage between the "real-life version of transnational cheating" and the "movie version of transnational cheating."

But after thinking about it for a while, my brain aches!

Each theater has its own judging criteria. They don't care whether "The Gunslinger" will show its decline in the later period due to criticism. Anyway, they will take advantage of the popularity to make money first!

Unexpectedly, it is still not enough?

"No. I just finished the final exam, and the tension and anxiety made me wake up from my dreams. I don't want to watch exam movies anymore."

"You can go and have a look."

"Yes. The popularity of this film has completely exceeded expectations. It is mainly among the student group, and the theater was almost booked as soon as it came." The conductor smiled broadly.

After reading the third letter, I frowned.

The schedule of several popular movies has already been arranged according to the minimum requirements of the contract, and they have just been released, and the attendance rate is quite good, so they cannot be cut off at will.

"Go ahead, you can go with Xiaohei and the others. They buy tickets collectively."

"I won't take my children to watch this movie, lest they feel involved in cheating..."

"Cheating is wrong, but the movie was made to look cool. It really shouldn't get this rating..."

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

If you only look at these public opinions, this is a completely tempting crime-rated movie.

But when the assistant came over with a sack of letters to him, he couldn't help but shout, "F*ck".

It's just that the theater he is in has tried its best to tilt the film schedule towards "The Genius"!

It is actually the third year that Springfield education and training institutions have organized cross-border cheating, but they did not develop overseas customers in the first year.

Seeing the adult audiences coming one after another to ask for tickets, and the ticket seller helplessly saying "Sorry", "Sold out" and "Tomorrow" one after another, the theater manager couldn't help but frown.

Originally, Wang Wei would have to wait until at least the next day for clear feedback on the efforts of the student group.

He looked at the letters poured out and piled on the table, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

However, there is not only one voice in the media.

"Most of the letters sent by fans were sent to the Hua Xin Daily, which interviewed you. These are the ones they selected specifically to send to you." Assistant Ding gasped slightly as he put down the sack.

"Why do students come here all at once? The summer vacation is so long, it would be great to come in batches!" The theater manager could only complain with excitement and helplessness.

What’s even more interesting is that in the first year, it was really like in the movie, hiring gunmen to go to Australia to take the exam, write down the answers and send them back to China.

Cinema managers sensed greater business opportunities.

"Did you go see "The Gunslinger"?"

However, when the students chose to vote with their feet, the burst of energy shocked everyone's jaws!

For example, a conversation between two students -

So he enthusiastically asked his assistant to help open the letter and take a look at it himself.

Even if you don't have it yourself, your classmates around you must have it...

"How much is this!" Wang Wei was a little confused and a little curious.

Although it is not as convenient as in the Internet age, using ordinary movie fans to influence ordinary movie fans is sometimes more efficient than traditional media.

After reading more than a dozen letters in a row, Wang Wei stopped.

Of course the student group is very important, but the adult audience cannot be ignored either!

No matter how noisy the public opinion about "The Genius" is, there is one group that everyone has subconsciously ignored - the student group.

Although there is no final investigation result of the "reality version of transnational cheating", the details unearthed by the media alone are enough to make people feel stunned——

The first letter was written by a student. After reading it, I continued to remain silent.

This is also easy to understand.

This method of sending letters to communicate only appeared before the Internet era.

"Not only that, I think it was also very satirical, satirizing the world of adults talking to themselves. Not only in movies, but also in reality..."

"All the tickets for "The Genius" are sold out today?" A theater manager ran to the ticket counter to learn about the situation in person.

"Students reserve the theater?" When the theater manager heard this, he also smiled happily.

They didn't know that many theaters across the country were occupied by another group on this day.

Really packed in sacks!

Then they found out... there were no tickets?!

Damn, it’s only noon right?

Other cannon fodder films have either given way long ago, or have been moved to the smallest screening room. Even if they are all shown, they will not satisfy too many audiences.

His colleagues all had the same happy worries on this day.

His mind was racing, thinking about which movie to compress.

"real?"

"What's this?"

The student group has neither independent financial strength nor the right to speak. It is immature. What should we pay attention to?

…

I received the website message, and I will recommend it in the category next week. I am very grateful to my family for their support, so that I can live another week!

Of course, whether you can continue to live next week will still depend on the strong support of your family, so you must not stop reading!

Finally, let’s talk about the problem in the previous chapter. The original article actually addressed issues such as extra points for household registration in the college entrance examination, and I was so locked up that I lost my temper. A book friend said it well, it’s better not to be an angry young man, we have to take it easy.

Well, this is an old habit of jumping on the street. Sometimes I let myself go as I write, so I reflect again~
