Chapter 0244 Old Han's Steamed Bun Shop

"The Chinese film industry is about to change..."

Chen Zhongqian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office on the top floor of China Entertainment Building, looking at the sudden change in the sky outside and it seemed like it was going to rain. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Chen, the Douyan score of "Armed Sky City" has dropped below 5 points."

It’s only been released for half a day!

From the 8 points at the beginning, it has plummeted all the way. This is because China Entertainment used the navy and NC fans to help increase the points. Otherwise, it may have fallen even faster.

"Where's Escape Age?"

"It stabilized at 8 points, and fluctuated up and down. The lowest point dropped to 7.5 points, but it soon came back, and the highest point was 9 points."

"It seems that the threat of "Escape Era" has indeed been underestimated." Chen Zhongqian's eyes became more solemn.

Different from other types of movies starring young people that were made in the past, those historical films, military films, and youth films that were made in the past, because there have been excellent works in the same type of movies, so these movies starring small people with high traffic are only Can rely on NC fans and passers-by who don’t know the truth and are deceived to contribute to the box office.

For that kind of movie, they go for the box office in the first place and don't care about the reputation.

But "Armed Sky City" is different. It is positioned as a science fiction movie.

China's science fiction movies are terrible, and there are no good ones at all. Even if they are worse than others, "Armed Sky Castle" has enough advantages to crush similar opponents. It should have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success.

But now, the reputation has collapsed.

"Let's wait for the first day's box office results to come out. There are still many people waiting and watching, but with the subsequent development, if "Escape" gains momentum, some people will be unable to sit still."





Office of the Chairman of Tangyu Building.

"Xiao Xu, my Uncle Han is really a slave. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Han Lan is young, energetic and ignorant, so forget it, but he still keeps messing around."

Liu Rong held a glass of red wine and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the city he was stepping on.

Gently shaking the red wine glass, the aroma of the wine is filled with the temperament of a lonely king.

Assistant Xu responded with a puzzled expression: "Director Liu?"

Liu Rong smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, let me tell you a story."

"In the past, there was a Baozi Street with several Baozi shops. People in this area could only come to these stores to buy buns to eat. It is said that peers are enemies, and these Baozi shops often have various competitions. For example, today Chen's Steamed Bun Shop has a new and sexy packaging, and tomorrow Zhang's Steamed Bun Shop invites a handsome guy to help sell steamed buns.

However, there is one thing that no one wants to touch, and that is the stuffing of steamed buns."

"No matter how much we argue, all the buns sold by the bun shops are only filled with rotten vegetable leaves. No one even thinks about changing their bun fillings to better ones to improve their competitiveness."

"Why? Because this can gain a large number of customers in the short term, but it is very detrimental to the long-term development of the bun shop. Today, if you add strong ingredients to the stuffing of the buns, will other bun shops also follow suit? In the end, The ingredients in the buns will only get better and better."

"Isn't this good? It's a virtuous circle!" Assistant Xu praised.

Liu Rong smiled and shook his head: "That's good for customers, but not good for steamed bun shops. In the past, everyone sold steamed buns stuffed with rotten vegetables and leaves. The business was not good, and customers were used to it. , I won’t scold or anything. Moreover, the cost of rotten vegetable leaves is low, and you can make more money. If you change it to better stuffing, the cost will go up, and you will make less money.

The key is that if all the bun shops are obsessed with bun fillings, then it will undoubtedly be a vicious cycle for them. Therefore, no matter how they usually compete, the bun fillings will never change."

"But, at this time, there was an idiot at the old Han's steamed stuffed bun shop. Instead of wrapping vegetable leaves in the steamed buns, this guy started filling them with fresh cabbage and black pork stuffing! This is breaking the rules.

Oh! Xiao Xu, what do you think other bun shops should do?"

Assistant Xu thought for a moment and replied: "They also started stuffing fresh cabbage and black pork into the buns, and they stuffed the buns with more expensive and better ones!"

Liu Rong shook his head with some disappointment and some pride: "Didn't I say it before? This is a vicious circle."

"What should we do?"

Liu Rong shook the red wine glass: "Let the old Han's bun shop close down."





"Mr. Han, the box office of our movie is out on the first day! It's 99 million!" Han Yiping's secretary excitedly knocked on the door with a tablet and came in.

Han Lan was also in his office, so he took the tablet and looked at the relevant data.

The first place is the movie "Power Rangers: The Finale" from Lighthouse Country, with a box office of 230 million on the first day.

The second place is also the science fiction blockbuster of Lighthouse Country, "Goddess of Lighthouse Country", with a box office of 210 million on the first day.

The third place is China Entertainment's "Armed Sky City", with a first-day box office of 157 million. Although there is a gap of more than 50 million from the second place, this result has successfully set a new first-day box office record for domestic science fiction movies in China.

Tomahawk Entertainment's "Escape" ranked seventh with a first-day box office of 99 million, along with several other domestic comedies.

During this year’s Spring Festival, it’s clear that the quality of each film’s films is quite good, and the box office on the first day was also very impressive.

"It's okay, we only used 60% of their performances to achieve this result, which is already great!" Seeing that he didn't speak, Han Yiping thought he was dissatisfied with the box office, so he comforted him.

Indeed, because it cannot be released in Shuangmu Cinema, the number of screenings of "Escape" is at least 40% less than that of movies of the same level!

This has a huge impact on the movie box office.

However, Han Lan didn't care too much about the box office because he had almost guessed the results. He was more concerned about the movie's reputation.

After looking at the Douyan score, the score of "Escape Age" actually dropped below 7 points! It is now approaching the 6.5-point mark.

"A lot of people with 1 points started to appear today." Han Lan looked at the recent scoring situation and said in a deep voice.

Han Yiping also came over and frowned slightly when he looked at the ratings of "Escape Era", but he didn't feel too surprised.

“Someone is maliciously writing bad reviews!”

"I didn't expect them to stop sitting still so quickly. I thought they would wait until the box office came out three days ago before they would make any move." Han Lan sneered.

Han Yiping glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile: "You have a clever plan. Have you figured out how to deal with them?"

"No."

"..." Han Yiping.

Then what are you doing in front of you?

Han Lan smiled and said: "Dad, movie fans are not blind. They can tell whether a movie is good or bad. Moreover, this kind of bad review is too low-level. Although the score has dropped, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see it.

It’s a malicious negative review.”

"What if you can't see it? Damn it, never overestimate the judgment of customers, otherwise there will be no need for a publicity war. People are easily influenced by external information. When you read too many bad reviews, good movies will naturally become

It’s a bad movie. And in the past few years, movie fans have been accustomed to all kinds of bad movies, and it’s hard to guarantee that their appreciation will decline.” Han Yiping reminded: “Damn it, this is how capital slowly changes the market...”

"No, capital can never change the market, it's just that the market is too indulgent to them." Han Lan sneered.
Chapter completed!
