One glimpse and she could see that there was more audience in the night screening than in the morning one. For a hall that could fit about a hundred people, almost 70 to 80% of it was sold out.
Based on his many years of experience, he could roughly judge that this movie had huge potential to become a big hit.
Unfortunately, it just had to clash with Zheng Kangde's movie...
After leaving the cinema hall, Zhou Zhihe thought for a long while and decided to make a call to another cinema manager to try to find out something.
"Hello, CEO Zhang!"
"CEO Zhou, could you be calling me this late at night about 'Dream Chaser' as well?" The other end of the phone teased.
"As well? It looks like the others have called you too!" Zhou Zhihe raised his brows.
"Exactly, I've just gotten off the phone with CEO Zhao and CEO Liang!"
"Well...what did you say then? Are we going to increase the screenings of this movie or not?" Zhou Zhihe asked the key question.
"CEO Zhou, Chen Mian's movie's quality is not bad. If huge companies had invested in it and if they had big casts like they did in the past, we would definitely push it forward vigorously...but with this movie...well, you know...there are so many such movies that go viral online nowadays, and the netizens' enthusiasm fades as quickly as it happens, so how long can it last if it just went viral in one night? Besides, we have a collusion with Zheng Kangde. If it was some other movie that was increasingly popular, we wouldn't mind increasing the showtimes but, Chen Mian, he's Zheng Kangde's rival..."
"Alright CEO Zhang, I understand." Zhou Zhihe hung up.
To offend Zheng Kangde and all of his supporters for "Dream Chaser", which had an uncertain future, was just not worth it.
It was easy to determine whether or not to change its screening frequency; they just had to follow Peoples' Cinema. If the industry leader did not make a move, they would not either.
So far, it looked like Peoples' Cinema was completely on Zheng Kangde's side, and they would probably not change anything.
...
The next day, "Dream Chaser" was getting more and more attention online. The movie networks rated it an 8.6 and there were almost 100% good reviews. Everyone who had watched the movie had given it high praises.
All of the commentary on movie review sites and social network sites were rapidly progressing...
[My dear, from today onwards, I have a new Prince Charming (image) #Dream Chaser#]
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! I've been charmed by a woman to the point of melancholy and suffering! Wait for me, my husband, I will continue to see you in the cinemas tomorrow!]
[Actually, the male lead is very handsome too! But he's not as handsome as the female lead! In fact, their interactions are super duper cute! Even though I'm old, my maiden heart is beating like a runaway train. I haven't been this excited in a long time!]
