Chapter 2158： Movies in major cinemas

For netizens in China, these three months are very depressing while looking forward to it.

Those guys from other countries are more than gloating at misfortunes and watching Li Fan’s work more than the other. They also say that it is impossible to watch Li Fan’s movies anyway. They have no interest at all.

How can the netizens in China not be depressed? I was so depressed in my heart, I wondered what would you think of you guys after the movie was released?

Then you guys will know how stupid it is to gloat and look bad in these three months.

Now that they finally waited, Li Fan's movie was about to be released, and they became excited and looking forward to it.

Of course, what is excited and looking forward to is Li Fan's movie itself.

...

Films in six countries will be released soon, and film investors from all over the world are also paying close attention to this. And what everyone talks about is Hector's investment in Li Fan's film.

In words, intentionally or unintentionally, always reveal the meaning of misfortune and happiness.

"Hector, the movie will be released in a week. The situation of Li Fan's movie you invested in seems to be very pessimistic. Apart from the audience in China, I don’t seem to have seen anyone from other countries say, I am interested to see it. Your investment this time, I think it is quite a failure!"

"Fortunately, the total investment does not seem to be high. Is there ten million? Hector should be able to afford this, even if all losses are lost, the problem is not big."

"Hector, why did you think that investing in Li Fan's movies can make money? Or maybe you didn't make money at all, but had some other purpose?"

"..."

The relationship between film investors is not considered to be a friendship.

Therefore, there is some cynicism between the words.

If Hector ignores this, is the situation terrible? Maybe. Judging from the current situation, it is indeed very bad. He has never seen a movie so badly seen before it was released.

But Hector always believed in his heart that his investment this time was correct. Although he didn't know how much profit he could bring back, Hector was sure that there would be a profit return.

Moreover, he also succeeded in having an intersection with Li Fan, which, in Hector's view, was more important than the return of profits.

Therefore, some people say that Hector chose to invest because of some other purpose. This statement is not completely wrong.

Hector said lightly to a group of investors: "Success or failure? Who knows, let's look at it in half a month."

A group of filmmakers sneered, "Pretending to be relaxed and calm? Then after half a month, see if you can still pretend to be relaxed and calm like this?"

...

A movie theater in the United States.

The staff is arranging the movies to be played in a week.

After a week, the films from the six participating countries will be released at the same time, so there will be six films, and some other films will not be released, which makes the films starting from next week a bit too saturated.

Then, for some movies that are not well watched, it is only a pity to reduce the playing time and reduce the number of theaters.

Originally, under normal circumstances, there can be three play periods in a day, five theaters, and next week, there will only be one play time, two or three theaters.

Moreover, it is still placed in unpopular time slots, such as nine in the morning, two in the afternoon, and 11:30 in the evening.

Li Fan's "Shawshank's Redemption" is very regrettable. It has become the least watched movie. The scheduled screening schedule is naturally very bleak.

Movies in the six countries only mean that they must be shown on the same day, not that they must be shown in the same time period, let alone that the number of theaters must be the same in the daily playing time.

In other words, Li Fan's movies are not favored. One movie theater is enough for one time slot every day, and it's still at 11:30 in the evening.

And Grover's movies are well received. Three, four, or even more time slots can be played every day. There are still popular time slots such as 7pm and 9pm, and there are many theaters.

There is nothing unfair about this. For the cinema, the first consideration must be the issue of interest. It is impossible to guarantee that six movies are broadcast at the same time every day, and the number of theaters is also the same.

Naturally, we can only arrange as many movies as possible for the movies that are watched. If you don't watch the movies, you can try not to arrange them.

"Manager, what time slot is suitable for Mr. Li Fan's "Shawshank's Redemption"? How many cinemas should I use?" the staff asked the manager.

The manager said directly without thinking: "Naturally, it is the last time slot in the evening. It is 11:30 in the evening. The smallest one is enough for the theater. Anyway, no one will watch it. If there is more, it is a waste. "

The staff member said: "Good manager, what about Mr. Grover's "Ape-Ape-Man"?"

The manager also didn’t think about it, saying: “The outside world has very high expectations for Mr. Grover’s "Ape-Ape-Man", and it will definitely be overcrowded. It is natural to arrange as many time slots and theaters as possible. Especially a few In the popular time slot, more than half of the theater is used to show Mr. Grover's "Ape-Ape-Man"."

The staff member said: "Well, just do it. Manager, you said Mr. Li Fan is so famous, but this time the movie box office is so bad. Why is that?"

The manager said: "Why? One is that you shouldn't choose'prison' as the subject, and the other is that you shouldn't have two unfamiliar actors starring. Of course, this is no way. Famous actors will definitely not go. Acting. Third, Li Fan is too confident. In short, Li Fan must have completely failed this time."

The staff member sighed: "Why is this?"

This movie theater is arranged like this, and the movie theaters in other major cities in the United States are similar. Li Fan’s "Xiao Shengke’s Redemption" is very pitiful. It is arranged in the most unpopular time slot, and the theater has only One or two.

From the point of view of the major cinemas, no one would watch it at all, so naturally no more resources can be given.

Cinemas in other countries in the world receive better treatment for "Shawshank's Redemption" when arranging films, but it is also limited.

However, it is much better for several countries around China, such as Lan and the island countries. These countries still have some confidence in Li Fan's films, although they don't think there will be any attraction in films with the theme of "prison".

But after all, it is Li Fan's work, and they are willing to believe it.

But in China, that is naturally a different scene.

If possible, many movie theaters in various cities in China would like to show Li Fan's "Shawshank's Redemption" all day long.

But this is obviously impossible. Movies from the other five countries still need to be screened, and there are also some movies that are not down-grade, which also need to be screened.

Then, we can only maximize the resources that can be given to "Shawshank's Redemption".

As the major theaters around the world arrange the film schedules, the most anticipated moment has finally arrived.
