Chapter 816 If a Tiger Doesn't Show Its Might, Do You Really Think I'm a Sick Cat?

In a blink of an eye, it has been five days since the online voting for the male and female protagonists of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"!

Looking around, Liu Yifei is still ranked first in the movie version, followed by Shu Chang, Jing Tian, ​​and Yang Ying.

As for the TV series version, Yang Mi is currently ranked first, and Liu Shishi, Ni Ni, and Tang Wei are all behind her.

Yang Mi can be regarded as a rising star, mainly because her recent scandal incident has made a big fuss, and even attracted the support of many male fans.

Everyone wants to see the two people who are currently rumored to be starring in the same TV series together, so they naturally do their best when voting.

After all, what could be better than a real couple filming a "love scene"?

As for the film industry, "Monster Hunt" is currently leading the trend, and "The Pancake Man" is following closely behind, catching up with the "black and red" route.

Nowadays, more than half of the people in the industry, including Chen Fei, are surprised by the results of "Monster Hunt".

160 million on the first day of release, and then for the next four days, the daily new box office soared higher and higher, and it was about to reach 200 million!

Now, after five days of release, the total box office has reached 769 million, and it is about to break the record of "Sicario".

At first, Chen Fei really thought that this movie might have great potential, so the box office performance would get higher and higher.

But as time went by, the darkness floating under the water finally emerged!

"Too much! They are really too much!"

When Chen Fei received the call from Su Guohai, his brows gradually changed from relaxed to frowned.

"It's okay to fool netizens, fans, and the media, but they actually set their sights on us. Who gave them the courage?"

As Su Guohai told the story, Chen Fei finally understood why the box office of "Monster Hunt" was "high" all the way.

…

As the box office of "Monster Hunt" continues to rise, the daily new box office of "Sicario" has dropped from 30 million to just over 10 million in just a few days!

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for the box office to drop. Moviegoers will not watch this movie, so the box office will naturally drop.

But the problem now is that although "Sicario" has been released for 18 days, the theater line screening rate is still around 25%.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" is finished, and the daily new box office of "Gardenia Blossoms" and "Tiny Times 4" is less than 3 million, so the theater line screening rate of "Sicario" will naturally increase.

But the theater line screening rate has increased, and the attendance rate is not low, but the daily new box office has plummeted. Anyone who sees this situation will have to scratch their heads!

After Su Guohai realized that something was wrong, he immediately launched an investigation.

And because the other party's methods were too crude, he didn't spend much effort to investigate the matter clearly!

"You mean, the box office theft on Monster Hunt is very serious?"

"That's right!" Su Guohai said indignantly: "After I contacted Mr. Huo, he thoroughly checked the Pan Asia Cinema Line and said that he caught a lot of rats."

"I'll go ask him."

Fade Chen hung up the phone and called Huo Qigang directly.

As soon as the call was connected, a bitter smile came from the other end: "I have been following the Chasing the Dragon project recently. I haven't paid too much attention to the cinema line. I didn't expect that a group of "internal thieves" would appear and play tricks on me..."

Things like stealing box office are actually very simple to operate. A cinema line manager and a few staff members can easily do it.

"Have those people been dealt with?"

Fade Chen's voice was a little cold. He actually put his idea on his head. He was really bold!

"Not yet. I was just about to call you to ask what to do? Should we keep a low profile and digest it internally, or should we expose everything in a high profile?"

"Have you kept all the evidence?"

"Yes, I have kept it. I guarantee that I can kill him with one blow!"

"Okay, then you stay where you are and wait for my news. You actually put your hand in my arms. You are really courting death!"

"Let's get him?"

"We must get him! If a tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think my head is made of dough?"

Fade Chen said viciously, and at the same time mentioned another movie: "Is there any problem with "The Pancake Man"?"

"No, the box office is real. I have personally investigated it. Although the movie is really bad, it is just right. There are still many funny moments.

And the box office of this movie has actually been stolen a lot, otherwise it is likely to be higher!"

Dong Chengpeng has been very popular during this period.

Although there are many people who black his movie online, even countless.

But because the movie box office was high enough, he was well-received in the industry, and with the support of Sohu behind him, he looked like a "newcomer" in the industry.

Since he was not involved in this incident, Chen Fei would naturally not care about him.

After ending the call with Huo Qigang, Chen Fei called Su Guohai again and assigned him a series of tasks.

However, after listening to the task requirements, Su Guohai asked uncertainly: "Mr. Chen, do we have to be so ruthless? After all, they are old giants in Hong Kong. Once we have a falling out, it may not be good to meet again in the future."

"Haha." Chen Fei smiled coldly: "He has done it on the first day of the month, why can't I do it on the fifteenth? He has bullied me. If I just make a big deal out of a small matter, then can anyone ride on my neck and shit in the future?"

After saying this, Su Guohai immediately had no opinion.

After hanging up the phone again, Chen Fei went to Maoyan to check the data of "Monster Hunt".

The number of good reviews has increased from 10w+ to 30w+. Looking around, there are still few bad reviews, and the movie's reputation score has soared to 9.5!

How could a commercial film have such a high score?

"You play it well. You want to use the box office to drive the stock price, copyright and peripherals? It's a pity that you shouldn't make trouble for me, and you also turn my people against me? You are so bold!"

...

It's not an exaggeration to describe the recent "Monster Hunt" as "glorious".

Some experts even analyzed that if the film goes according to plan, it is very likely to have a box office of 2 billion, or even 3 billion+!

"Mr. Jiang has a good trick. Come on, cheers, and wish "Monster Hunt" a box office of 1 billion, 2 billion, or even 3 billion in advance, hahaha..."

In the club's box, Wang Zhonglei hugged the leading actress of the film and toasted Jiang Zhiqiang from a distance.

Sitting on the other side, Jiang Zhiqiang smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with him, and then drank it in one gulp.

"This is just the beginning? Wanda, China Film, and Shanghai Film have almost made arrangements. As long as we find a few more responsible persons in the cinemas under Pan Asia Cinema Line, we can really rest assured!"

It is actually normal to steal box office revenue, and it has happened countless times in the past.

However, it is rare to see such a crazy movie as "Monster Hunt".

Stealing tens of millions at a time, this boldness made even Wang Zhonglei feel a little nervous, but Jiang Zhiqiang acted very calmly.

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I still need to learn more from others. The bold ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation. In fact, there is still room for maneuver in the stock market... It's decided, I'll arrange it tomorrow..."

The two were drinking happily, but suddenly, there was a very rapid knocking sound outside the box door.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

Wang Zhonglei's face suddenly sank, and his eyes fell on the personal assistant standing beside him.

Seeing that the boss was unhappy, the assistant came to the door in two steps, angrily opened the locked door of the box, and asked coldly: "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to disturb you tonight..."

"Oh no, Mr. Wang, Director Jiang, check Weibo, something happened to "Monster Hunt"!"

In the box, Wang Zhonglei and Jiang Zhiqi's drunkenness was instantly dispelled. They took out their mobile phones and opened Weibo at the same time, and then... their faces changed drastically!

At this moment, Weibo was already a hot topic.

All the people in the circle were alarmed at this time, and they kept running back and forth between the official Weibo of Feiyue Film and Television and the official Weibo of Pan Asia Cinema.

Just because the two companies issued an announcement at the same time.

Although the content of the announcement was different, the meaning expressed in it was "similar in nature"!

Feiyue Films Announcement:

“Recently, we noticed that the box office data of “Sicario” suddenly fluctuated violently. After we felt that something was wrong, we immediately conducted corresponding investigations and collected evidence.

Afterwards, we found that the movie “Monster Hunt” in the same period actually carried out very bad and shameless box office theft without our knowledge!

Admittedly, the cost of “Monster Hunt” had skyrocketed due to reshoots during the filming process. This may be the main reason for the difficulties faced by the producers. We can understand and sympathize with it, but this cannot be a reason for you to take improper measures!

The act of “secretly” obtaining box office from other movies has seriously damaged the interests of the films in the same period and undermined fair competition in the film market!

Late-night ghost theaters, large-scale lock-ups, high-frequency box office swiping...

We We have recorded these abnormal situations in detail through photos and video data, making it impossible for these suspected box office fraud behaviors to hide. Now we would like to ask you to respond!

Why can "Monster Hunt" achieve an attendance rate of more than 100%? Does this mean that a large number of audiences are willing to buy standing tickets and endure standing for two hours to watch the movie?

What is even more bizarre is that the cinema still has a large range of screenings in the early hours of the morning, and the intervals between screenings are extremely short. What is going on?

Also, can we regard your behavior as an unfair commercial competition? Or is it a deliberate targeting? Will you be an enemy of us from now on? "

If Feiyue Film and Television's announcement directly nailed "Monster Hunt" and its producer Enlightenment Films to the pillar of shame, then Pan Asia Cinema's announcement is to implement a "lingchi execution" punishment for it!

Pan Asia Cinema Announcement:

Two announcements in succession, one from Feiyue Film and Television, and one from Pan-Asia Cinemas, directly confused the entire film and television industry!

And at this time, there has been an uproar on the Internet!

"What the hell? No wonder, I said why are the movie tickets for "Monster Hunt" so hard to get? It turns out they are all fake!"

"Hey guys, when I saw this announcement, I suddenly remembered that when my wife and I went to watch the movie "Sicario" at a Wanda cinema last night, the ticket machine was suddenly told by the service staff that it was broken.

Then we went to the service desk and got two movie tickets for "Monster Hunt", but the ticket seller told us that we could also watch "Sicario" with the movie tickets for "Monster Hunt". Isn't this right? Stealing the box office? "

"Okay! This dog brush!"

"I was just wondering why my negative review couldn't be posted. It turns out it was deleted!"

"I testify that the ghost scene is definitely real. It was around one o'clock in the morning. We were the only two people in the cinema, but it showed that it was full. Damn it."

"Pancake Man, you were also robbed of the box office, didn't you know? On average, there are many people in every "Pancake Man" show with "Monster Hunt" ticket stubs. This is my personal experience."

"Hahaha, I'm so happy. You said it's not good for you to steal someone's box office, but you actually stole "Sicario"? Don't you know who is standing behind them?"

"Pan-Asia Cinemas seems to be one of the companies owned by Director Chen, right? No wonder they are so cooperative and will take it off the shelves immediately."

"Fuck, I just finished watching this movie, and when I came out, I realized that all the posters for "Monster Hunt" had been removed from the theater. It was so fast!"

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, but within the circle there was a feeling that the sky was falling!

No one expected that Feiyue Film and Television and Pan-Asia Cinemas would be so aggressive and would immediately kill them if they disagreed.

…

It was early in the morning in the UK, and Chen Fei was abruptly woken up by the ringing of the phone.

After comforting the disturbed Miss Liu, he turned and walked out of the bedroom and answered the phone in the living room.

"Mr. Ye? Is something wrong?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry!" Ye Ning looked a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone: "After reading your notice, I realized that there are a lot of troublemakers in Wanda, and I have dealt with them in time."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Fei said very indifferently: "There are people under the Pan-Asia Cinema who work against the will. It is normal for this kind of situation to happen to you."

"What's next..."

"Wanda is Wanda, and Pan Asia is Pan Asia. We represent individuals and will not impose any demands on our colleagues in the industry. As long as Mr. Ye ensures fairness, that will be the greatest help to me."

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the theater chains under my banner!"

After ending the call with Ye Ning, Chen Fei received calls from Wang Changtian, Ren Zhonglun and others.

"That Boss Jiang is not easy to deal with. I have dealt with him before and his methods are very clever. He also has extensive connections and resources in the mainland. You have to be careful."

"Anle Pictures has been established for 65 years. It has invested in countless directors, actors, and movies. In particular, its relationship with China Film Group is extremely good. If you make such a big news without saying a word, you will definitely be in trouble. of."

"Haha, what if I really scared him and wanted to mess with the film and television industry? I have already hired him, so let him take over. This matter is not over! If his film can continue to be released in my theaters, I will talk to him surname!

If the tiger doesn't show off its power, does it really think I'm a sick cat? Do you think I can do whatever I want when I'm young?

If you make a mistake, you must pay the price! At the same time, let the outside world see that I did not grow up a vegetarian! "
