Chapter 322 The Real Business War Is so Simple! (Three Updates and 10,000 Words, Please Vote for Me!)
Li Youzhi has never been in the film industry.
But he is very aware of the twists and turns in the film industry!
It is said that there is a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry. Those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, those who make TV series look down on those who make online dramas, those who make online dramas look down on those who make variety shows, and those who make variety shows look down on those who do not make money.
Although the film industry stands in the pyramid of the entire entertainment industry, in fact, the degree of filth and mess in this industry, as well as the quality of the people in the industry, are no less bad than the crotch of the old madam.
When he decided to put "Dear" on the Spring Festival schedule, Liu Yun said that this schedule was a Shura field, and Li Youzhi didn't feel well before.
But now that he saw the chat records in the filming group, he really felt it.
What is the most important factor affecting a movie's box office?
It’s just the movie schedule for theaters!
No matter how good a movie is, if the theater chain doesn't schedule it for you, it's the same as a 36D young model with white skin and beauty. It's the same reason that the foreman won't arrange it for you.
If we don’t give you resources, it’s useless no matter how strong your business capabilities are!
Especially for Spring Festival movies, the prime time period is only a few days. Even if theaters reduce their film schedule by 10%, it may be a loss of millions or tens of millions at the box office.
Seeing several producers in the group making arrangements, Li Youzhi silently took a screenshot, changed his group name card to [Daddy Li, Producer of "Dear"], and then typed out a line of death smile.
Li Youzhi didn't change his name when he joined the group just now, and he didn't pay attention to the production of several movies.
Now he directly mentioned the title of "Dear", and the busy chatting group about filming suddenly fell silent!
["Ten Years Glimpse of Wen Ruyan" producer Lin He withdrew the news]
["I Want to Find You in the Wandering World" producer Sun Zhen withdrew the news]
["Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2022" producer Zhou Wen withdrew a message]
Produced by "Ten Years" Lin He: Hello, welcome Teacher Li.
Seeing that the production of "Ten Years" that had just said that "Kiss" had faked attendance data was revealed, Li Youzhi directly posted the screenshot just now with a death smile attached!
"I prefer people to call me by my first name. You can just call me dad. Dad is not blind. I saw everything you just said."
Li Youzhi didn't even bother to explain these utilitarian arrangements.
What's the explanation?
"Dear" is a work that doesn't mention the plot content or subject matter. It just focuses on the fan appeal of the starring actors Andy Lau and Brother Zhi. Is the 70% attendance rate of the movie fake?
Following Li Youzhi's speech, which was clearly motivated by a quarrel, the calm filming group... exploded!
"Ten Years" Lin He: "Where did the crazy dog come from and bite it when it enters the group? How do you operate without knowing what's going on?"
"I Want It" Sun Zhen: "Is this guy crazy? We are just discussing today's screening data. Who are you scolding? If you think what we are saying is wrong, why don't you just come up with evidence to explain it? That's really special What a psycho!"
"Crouching Tiger 2022" Zhou Wen: "How can you speak at such a young age when you are not celebrating the Chinese New Year? Are you Li Youzhi from Heguang? You are so young and have just entered the circle, and you don't even understand the principle of respecting your seniors?"
Are you considered a senior of der?
Have you ever shed blood for the country, or have you benefited the people?
Seeing a group of producers instantly standing on a united front, Li Youzhi grinned and sneered.
Article 62 of the "Workplace Code": Never prove your innocence when faced with slander from others, let alone try to fall into the self-proof trap set up by the other party for you, because the person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are!
So what should you do when faced with this situation?
Easy to handle - just go crazy!
With this in mind, Li Youzhi directly closed the WeChat group, then opened the web page and searched for the three movies in the group just now.
After reading the promotional materials and cast and crew information of each film, he probably had an idea in his mind;
These three films, "Ten Years" and "Really Wanted" are all romance films. In recent years, as Valentine's Day, an exotic holiday, has become popular in the mainland, it has gradually become a consumption hot spot in February, and more and more romantic movies are choosing to be released during the Spring Festival.
First of all, in addition to family audiences, couples also account for a large proportion of the main consumers of Spring Festival movies. Secondly, the Spring Festival basically coincides with Valentine’s Day.
The cost of shooting romance films is low. As long as the publicity is strong or a suitable publicity point is found, and a certain amount of filming can be obtained during the Spring Festival, the project will basically make a profit.
For example, "Ten Years" and "Really Wanted" are very typical. The movie "Ten Years" is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, with all-new actors and actresses starring. However, the main point of the promotion is that the beautiful author of the novel directly served as the director and focused on literature and art. As for "I Want It", it vigorously speculates on the romance between the male and female protagonists because of their love, and mainly focuses on online gossip.
"Crouching Tiger 2022" is a martial arts action movie. In fact, action movies during the Spring Festival have relatively few advantages in subject matter. However, "Crouching Tiger 2022" is a remake of a classic IP, and it is obviously intended to use the old IP to improve the box office.
Glancing at the film queue on his phone, Li Youzhi snorted and smiled. The three producers were still chattering and complaining.
A bunch of scumbags who have bad content and enjoy themselves in crooked ways.
If you dare to touch my bowl, I will kick you in the pot!
()σLook at what Brother Zhi does to you and you will be finished!
Seeing that it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the Internet world was still a prosperous prime time, Li Youzhi directly turned on his shaking hands.
I Photoshopped the screenshot in the group that questioned the fraud at the box office of "Dear" and used mosaic to hide the IDs of several productions. Then I edited a long article.
After typing a title [Countdown to Spring Festival, Xiaozhi teaches you how to identify bad movies], I sent it out!
"[Picture] I was just in the movie theater group and saw several colleagues questioning the box office fraud of "Dear". Although I was very angry, after calming down and thinking about it, I felt that the doubts of several colleagues were reasonable;
Nowadays, movie box office, major film review websites, and media platforms can all be controlled by money ability. It is true that the quality of a work can be judged, but the data no longer has any reference significance.
The annual Spring Festival is about to kick off, after referring to a large amount of information and box office data. I have summarized the magical rules for everyone! As long as you avoid the following five things, you can reduce the chance of being cheated on a bad Chinese movie by 80%! "
Although the box office of "Dear" in its first screening today reached 2.38 million, it was still a small number if I had time to go to the cinema a year ago.
At this time, Li Youzhi was shaking his hands and everyone was still discussing topics related to the screening of "Dear".
Seeing Li Youzhi's sudden update, everyone was excited!
"Hahahaha, brother, are you being bullied by your peers?"
"Minato, I didn't even get a ticket for the screening of "Dear", and the occupancy rate is only 70%? Which theater is not full?"
"The coordinate is Xu City. There are indeed a few vacancies in the last row. But that's not important... Brother, please don't bother to type. Tell us who are the idiots who arranged "Dear"?"
"Ahhh! My heart is burning with gossip. Brother, hurry up and cut melons for us!"
Seeing the uproar in the comment area, the curiosity of the audience was fully aroused, Li Youzhi hummed and smiled.
Who do you think Brother Zhi is?
Is Brother Zhi, such an upright and good young man, the kind of person who casually exposes other people's privacy to achieve his own nobility?
That's bad work!
After severely scorning the moral integrity of Leziren netizens, Li Youzhi sent out the five rules he had summarized!
"1. The trailer only has hot scenes/special effects and stunts, but no plot (it doesn’t talk about the story but special effects/scenes, which proves that Hemorrhoids has no confidence in the plot)"
“2. Use the IP of a popular movie N years ago (it’s still popular after decades, which proves that it’s not expected)”
"3. Flaunt the director's characteristics, such as: beauty, writer, cross-border director (remember, watching movies is like eating eggs, and anyone who talks about how beautiful hens are is just being a hooligan)"
"4. The film title is too long (it means that the creator wants to use more information to attract the audience's attention and has no confidence in the content and actors. 10 stars - number of film titles ≈ film quality)"
"5. Hype up any scandals between cast and crew that have nothing to do with the content of the movie (don't go into the cinema for gossip about any star)"
"In addition: According to authoritative statistics, celebrities with blind fan bases have starred in 90% of the country's worst movies..."
Looking at Li Youzhi's top five guides for closing the Spring Festival stalls, the players were stunned for a while... and burst into laughter!
Not for anything else, just because these five points of Li Youzhi... are so directional!
The resources for the Spring Festival film schedule are tight, and there are only a total of more than 20 films to be announced in theaters.
Corresponding these five items, several completely disliked films appeared in the comment area in an instant;
"Hahahaha, little brother, just read out your ID number from "A Glimpse of Wen Ruyan in Ten Years"!"
"The title of "I Want to Go to Your World to Find You" is 10 characters, and according to my algorithm, it will score 0 points. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2022" has received tons of offense, hahaha!"
"It's so funny that I'm so kidding. This kid looks so good, but in reality he's so wilted! I missed one of the "Dear" ones, isn't that a perfect score?"
"Hey, don't say it, you really don't say it! This dialectic method seems to be really universal! Look at the bad movies of the past years, it seems that most of them follow this routine."
"Fuck, knowledge, this is knowledge! Repost and repost, be sure to spread it. If this can help the general audience avoid pitfalls and save money, little brother, you deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple with these five articles today!"
"It's almost the Spring Festival, and other filmmakers are trying their best to swindle money out of my pocket. Only this little brother teaches me how to save money. This little brother makes me cry to death! Just for this "Dear" I have to give you a ticket!"
"Really? I don't believe it! I'm going to take these five points and ask myself about the announcements of these three movies!"
"Hahahaha, you are such a clever little guy in front of me, let's go together!"
Beep!
Received amazing points, 301125 points!
Watching the dynamic forwarding data increase to 70,000+, and seeing the fun people pouring into the promotion accounts of movies such as "Ten Years", "As if" and "Crouching Tiger", leaving behind Li Youzhi laughed out loud at the hilarious comments that said, "Are you a bad movie? Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people."
The real business war is so simple!
…
And while Li Youzhi was leading people to have fun and make trouble, in a coffee shop in Zhangzhou, an ordinary blind date from a year ago was going on.
In front of the window seat, a rather careless girl slapped her scarf on the table with great skill.
After sizing up the boy in front of her, she clicked her tongue.
In terms of appearance, classmate Zhao Xiaozhi is 30 points worse.
The face shape is reported to be good-looking, but the review is negative!
In terms of temperament, classmate Zhao Xiaozhi is 35 points worse.
The outfit is too tacky, bad review!
Financial resources...well, financial resources are no longer important.
"Hello, my name is Lin Yu. Let's get straight to the point without any nonsense. I have no idea of getting married right now. The blind date was forced by my family. Let's have a chat with each other for this meal. If you have time, we can chat for a while. If we don’t have time, we can withdraw directly.”
Opposite her, a thin man with glasses was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"Hello... my name is Xu Jizu. The blind date... was also arranged by my family, but I like your character very much. You are quite... quite straightforward."
No matter how thick the lines are, girls, regardless of their appearance, don’t hate others praising them.
Listening to the compliments from her blind date, the eldest leftover girl Lin Yu's plain face blushed slightly, and she subconsciously pulled her split legs together.
"Haha, right... So what, what do you do? What do you usually like to do? Hey, do you like watching movies?"
Facing Lin Yu's barrage of questions, Xu Jizu smiled shyly.
Obviously, this is an observational boy.
He observed Lin Yu carefully and noticed the movie she put on the coffee table. He pointed at it with a smile.
"Do you like watching movies?"
"Yeah, I came directly from the cinema. Oh, by the way, have you heard of "Dear"? It was played by the Internet celebrity Xiaozhi. It is about anti-trafficking. It is very touching! No, this is a commemorative ticket stub, especially Meaningful, limited edition numbered!”
Smiling, Xu Jizu took the ticket stub handed over by Lin Yu as if he were offering a treasure, and looked at it.
Then under the soft light of the cafe, when he looked at the missing child notice on the ticket stub, his slightly arched eyebrow suddenly froze.
[Shen Congcong was abducted on the morning of January 2005 and his whereabouts are still unknown. The baby has the following characteristics. There is a cyan birthmark on the big toe of his left foot...]
Looking at the photos and words on the commemorative ticket stub, in a daze...a vague memory floated out in Xu Jizu's mind...
