Chapter 99: A Word Decides Film Scheduling and Life and Death

The movie is still playing and the story is still going on.

Zhang Da and Sun Jun were locked in the woodshed. When the audience saw Zhang Da kneeling down to Sun Jun and expressing his true feelings.

Only then did they realize that Sun Jun seemed to have his own principles and difficulties. So, will there be a reversal later?

However, soon after, Zhang Da died, and Sun Jun turned a blind eye and even gave him a final blow.

It broke all the audience's expectations!

Sun Jun is a complete lackey and bad guy.

But, in this case, wouldn’t this “assassination of Qin” be over?
Did Zhang Da, Liu Xi, Ding Sanwang, Yao Qin and others die in vain?
Is this a story about good people not being rewarded and bad people living a thousand years?
How dare Lin Yicheng write and direct like this?

This shouldn't be possible.

Besides, can the Radio, Film and Television allow such a film to get the Dragon Mark and be released?
With some disbelief, they could only continue watching, and vaguely realized that it didn't seem that simple.

……

Sure enough, Sun Jun defected, and everything that happened before was just a self-torture trick. Zhang Da died in exchange for Qin Hui's trust in Sun Jun and to be with him.

When he saw Sun Jun kidnapping Qin Hui and reciting "Man Jiang Hong" loudly in front of the troops.

In the auditorium, some people began to recite along, and soon the voices became louder and louder.

By the time the last few sentences came, almost the entire audience was reciting them.

It complements the recitation of thousands of troops on the screen.

……

At the same time, greater confusion arises in the minds of the audience.

Isn't this right? Looking at Qin Hui's emotional recitation, how can this be seen as a way to whitewash Qin Hui?
However, the audience, whose IQ had been repeatedly tempered by Lin Yicheng and who had been following the constant plot twists, no longer dared to jump to conclusions and were all waiting to see the final outcome.

Sure enough, Lin Yicheng did not disappoint them.

It turned out that the Qin Hui just now was a fake. The real Qin Hui never trusted Sun Jun and had long intended to eliminate this hidden danger.

Finally, watching Sun Jun and his two men ride away on horseback, Tao Yatou recited "Man Jiang Hong" behind the stone lion...

The audience was all silent, just for a song, is it worth it?
It's worth it! This is the spirit of Yue Family Army! This is also the spirit of Chinese civilization!

No matter what kind of trauma and war it has experienced, the Chinese nation can always rise again from the ruins, reproduce and pass on the torch!
Of the four ancient civilizations, only China still stands in the east of the world!
This is the spirit that has been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, deeply engraved in the blood and will never disappear.

As the ending theme "Red Ling" ended, the lights came on.

There was a brief silence in the auditorium, and then thunderous applause broke out. Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, the applause seemed to rush out of the auditorium, soar into the sky, and echo across the land of Kyushu.

At this moment, everyone present admitted from the bottom of their hearts that this was a good work!

Especially when compared with "Curse of the Golden Flower", it is a masterpiece!

……

After bringing the main creators on stage to express their gratitude, he then exchanged pleasantries with the celebrities who had come to show their support, and finally saw them off one by one.

After finishing all this, it was almost 12 o'clock.

Lin Yicheng took Fan Xiaopang back home.

In the auditorium, if Lin Yicheng hadn't been concerned about the people around him, he estimated that Fatty Fan would have knocked him to the ground on the spot.

On this night, Lin Yicheng worked tirelessly for the development of the film and television industry and the improvement of actresses' acting skills, without fear of hard work.

The fastest-reacting online media has released a lot of information about the premiere of "Man Jiang Hong".

“After the premiere of ‘Red River’, thousands of people stood up to pay tribute and gave a five-minute ovation!”

“Thousands of people shed tears and recited the poem together. The premiere of “Red River” won applause from the audience!”

"In 2006, the best Chinese-language film appeared - "Red River""

"Shocking! To be the first to see "Man Jiang Hong", students from Beijing Film Academy actually did such a thing!"

Various dazzling headlines constantly catch the eyes of night owls, attracting them to open the links and read the specific content of the articles.

……

On December 12, "Man Jiang Hong" officially premiered nationwide. The print media and TV stations, which were slower to react, also reported on the premiere last night.

Although the titles are not as exaggerated as those on the Internet media, they are still doing their best to attract the audience's attention.

Lin Yicheng also took a group of actors including Huang Bo, Fan Xiaopang, Dong Shu, Uncle Qian'er, and Zhang Guoli to start a roadshow in Beijing.

Zhang Guoli has other dramas on hand, so he will only be with us today.

The same goes for Uncle Qian'er. As the queen of crosstalk, the entire Deyun Society cannot do without him, so he can only participate in roadshows in Beijing and Tianjin.

Since we have our own cinema chain, of course we should put our own cinema first.

……

"From 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., we have scheduled 65% of the screenings today, and they are all in the two largest theaters."

In an office, the cinema manager was reporting the situation to Lin Yicheng.

"At the same time, Curse of the Golden Flower is scheduled for 30% of the screenings, and the remaining 5% is for other films."

Not to mention that Lin Yicheng is the owner of the cinema, you should fully support your boss's new movie.

Even if it is not, other films, let alone "Red River", have no appeal at all compared to "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Cinemas are not doing charity. If your movie is unpopular, they certainly cannot waste manpower, water and electricity, as well as precious time and screens given to you.

"What about 'A Chinese Odyssey'? What did the other party say?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"They don't want to change the schedule and still want to go on tomorrow. What Mr. Gao means is..." The manager glanced at Fat Fan, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

To be a manager, one must have good vision. He is not blind. Didn't he see that Fatty Fan was almost hanging on the boss?

Naturally, he hesitated when it came to a movie that might feature the boss lady.

"It's okay, go ahead." Lin Yicheng said.

Fan Xiaopang herself doesn't care at all, in "Man Jiang Hong", she is the first female lead. In "A Chinese Odyssey", she said she is the second female lead, but in fact she is still supporting Ah Sa.

Moreover, even if "A Chinese Odyssey" does well at the box office, the credit won't go to her. She certainly knows which one to prefer between the two films.

……

"Mr. Gao meant that they would be given a maximum of 15% of the screenings on the first day, which would basically be taken from Curse of the Golden Flower. We will make adjustments based on the situation later."

"Tell Lao Gao what I said. I don't think Crazy Journey will be a success. Give him a maximum of 10% of the screening time on the first day, and then gradually reduce it later."

"A Chinese Odyssey", Lin Yicheng knows this movie very well.

Another representative work of Liu Zhenwei rehashing old stuff, a bad movie in which Ying Huang promotes his godson Chef Xie.

It mainly tells the story of how Tang Monk and his disciples join forces with aliens to fight against demons and monsters.

In its previous life, this movie earned 5000 million at the box office behind "Curse of the Golden Flower".

This time, Lin Yicheng can only wish them good luck.

Currently, the reaction of theaters is still relatively slow. It often takes three or four days or even more to adjust a bad movie or a box office unsuccessful movie.

Failure to make timely adjustments will undoubtedly cause losses to the interests of cinemas.

Lin Yicheng has no control over other cinema chains, but his own cinema chain is just a matter of a word from him.

The old Gao or Mr. Gao mentioned here is Gao Weimin, a professional talent recruited by Lin Yicheng, who was in charge of the cinema business at Wanda before.

He is experienced and capable, and is a qualified tool man.

"What's the situation ahead?" Lin Yicheng asked again.

"Good, very good, very good." The manager gave a thumbs up and flattered, "Boss, this is a really great idea. There's a long queue outside to buy tickets. They're afraid they'll be sold out if they're late."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work first. Come and call me when the first game is about to end." Lin Yicheng ordered.

"Okay, I'll go out first."

What tricks did Lin Yicheng use?
In fact, it’s no big deal to reveal it. It can still be sold in bundles just like "Crazy Stone" was originally.

This time, Lin Yicheng directly found Zhou Jianhui of Warner and started cooperation.
