Chapter 225: The film schedule shows Yang Hao’s influence
"Yang Hao, are you confident that you can win the championship of this year's Spring Festival? If you win the championship of this year's Spring Festival, you will be a triple champion," Ci Peikang asked with a smile as soon as Yang Hao sat down.

Yang Hao has won the Spring Festival championship for two consecutive years with "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Tomato". If "Detective Chinatown" wins the championship again this year, it will be the third consecutive year.

This is the Triple Crown!
It is certain that there has been no one before, and it is very likely that there will be no one after.

When Ci Peikang asked this question, Wanda CEO Jiang and managers of major cinema chains all pricked up their ears, listening carefully and waiting quietly for Yang Hao's answer.

They also wanted to know what Yang Hao thought about the triple crown.

"I will definitely win the championship this year," Yang Hao didn't say any nonsense. These six simple words revealed his extraordinary ambition.

It's not that Yang Hao is inflated, it's really because of the system's foundation. You should know that the cashback funds from Yang Hao's system can almost cash back 15 billion in box office revenue.

15 million box office!
What is this concept?
Moreover, the movie "Detective Chinatown 3" has been tested by the market in its previous life, which has proved the quality of this movie.

With a system box office foundation of 15 billion, plus the box office of the film itself, if the operation is good, the final box office is likely to reach billion.

In 2015, with a box office of 30 billion yuan, winning the Spring Festival box office championship would be a piece of cake, right?
"Oh?" Hearing Yang Hao's domineering and confident words, Ci Peikang also became interested.

He continued to ask: "Then Yang Hao, how much do you estimate the box office of this movie will be?"

Everything is fake, the box office is what they care about most.

"Three billion," Yang Hao uttered three short and powerful words.

"Hiss..." When Ci Peikang, Wanda President Jiang and a group of theater managers heard Yang Hao say the number 30 billion, they couldn't help but gasp.

Last year's box office record was set by Yang Hao's "The Richest Tomato", which only grossed 20 billion yuan.

Although the number of cinema screens in China has increased in recent years, the film market has become more and more prosperous, and the box office revenue has also shown a continuous growth trend.

But isn’t the 20% increase from 30 billion box office to 50 billion too exaggerated?

"Is Yang Hao too arrogant?" This thought came to the minds of Ci Peikang, Wanda President Jiang, and many theater managers.

Just at this moment, the lights in the screening room dimmed and the sample film of "Detective Chinatown" officially began to be screened.

The movie follows Tang Ren and Qin Feng who come to Thailand. Tang Ren becomes a suspect in a bizarre murder case and has to flee with Qin Feng. The plot gradually unfolds.

A good movie gives people an immersive enjoyment, and soon the audience is attracted by the tight jokes and careful logical reasoning.

A good movie can make people forget the passage of time. The 135-minute running time of "Detective Chinatown " went by in a flash.

The movie ended and the lights in the theater came on.

"Pa pa pa..." Everyone present applauded spontaneously.

"Hua La La", after the applause, many people present stood up and ran straight to the toilet.

Many of these cinema managers are in their early 50s and they are still in the entertainment industry. Their life of extravagant women has long caused their kidney function to decline, so it is quite difficult for them to hold their urine for more than two hours.

Of course, there were also many people who did not feel like peeing at this time. These people instantly crowded around Yang Hao and began to compliment Yang Hao.

"Mr. Yang is indeed a comedy master. The comedy "Detective Chinatown" is such a classic."

"That's amazing, Mr. Yang. I think the box office of Detective Chinatown will definitely be more than 30 billion. 40 billion is very likely."

"As expected, heroes emerge from youth. Mr. Yang will dominate the film industry in the future."

"Mr. Yang, I will definitely give you no less than 30% of the screening time for this movie."

“30 percent of the screenings? I think at least 40 percent.”

……

For a while, all kinds of compliments to Yang Hao were heard everywhere.

Theater managers may seem high and mighty, but that is only true for small directors. For producers like Yang Hao, whose every movie is a box office hit, they are relatively weak. Yang Hao is the one they curry favor with.

At this moment, they realized that Yang Hao’s boast about the 30 billion box office was not just bragging, but that he had absolute confidence in the movie "Detective Chinatown ".

The quality of the movie is really high.

Moreover, this movie is obviously different from Yang Hao’s previous works "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Tomato".

"Detective Chinatown 3" is not only a comedy, but also integrates suspense and reasoning into comedy. It is an innovative attempt in Chinese comedy.

Many comedies on the market today lack storytelling and are simply a collection of jokes. After they are told funny, people will feel that the logic of the film does not stand up to scrutiny and their reputation is often very bad.

However, "Detective Chinatown 3" not only has a relatively complete story and relatively strict logic, but also retains the light-hearted and cheerful characteristics of comedy. It is definitely a high-quality comedy movie.

"Congratulations, Yang Hao, I think your movie will be successful again," Ci Peikang said after watching the movie.

"Yes, Yang Hao, the movie is really funny and wonderful," Wanda President Jiang replied at the right time.

"Since Mr. Ci and Mr. Jiang both think the quality of the movie is good, you will have to pay more attention to scheduling the screenings," Yang Hao said, climbing up the ladder when he saw that the two theater chain bosses were so optimistic about the movie "Detective Chinatown 3."

"Okay, okay, we've invested in this movie, so we'll definitely schedule it for the screening."

"That's right. We've cooperated so many times, so don't worry about the scheduling," President Jiang and Director Ci said in a very cooperative manner that the scheduling would definitely be high.

Seeing the two people's promises, Yang Hao is now completely relieved. Yang Hao now feels more and more that cooperating with Wanda and China Film is a wise choice.

"Here, this is the movie release schedule for this year's Spring Festival. Please see which day "Detective Chinatown" is scheduled to be released." Although the movie "Detective Chinatown" has been confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival, there is still a big difference between releasing it one day earlier or later depending on the actual situation.

“No need to look at it. No matter what other movies are released in the same period, Detective Chinatown will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year,” Yang Hao waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to look at the movie release schedule.

This time the system’s box office cashback was very generous, reaching 15 billion.

No matter what movie is released in the same period, Yang Hao will ruthlessly crush it.

The magnificent trend is unstoppable.

"Detective Chinatown" is not afraid of any rivals. "Just because Mr. Yang is so confident, Star Cinema promises that the first-day screening of the movie "Detective Chinatown" will not be less than 30%," the manager of Star Cinema stood up and suddenly said.

Originally, the scheduling of the films should have been discussed in the conference room, but the atmosphere had already been created, and the manager of Star Cinemas spoke first, followed by managers of other major cinema chains.

"New Film Association is no less than 35%"

"Tianhe Cinema Line is not less than 37"

"Huaxia Xinhua Dadi Cinema Line is no less than 40%"

"Wanda Cinemas is no less than 46%"

……

It has to be said that the managers of major theater chains really gave face. According to the final comprehensive statistics, the first-day screening rate of "Detective Chinatown 41" was as high as %.

You have to know that this is the Spring Festival period, which is the most competitive period among many periods. There are often many blockbusters competing in this period, and the screening rate will be diluted.

41 percent of the first-day screenings can be considered a monopoly.

Theater managers are not fools, they must have their reasons for giving such high screening schedules.

The movies produced by Yang Hao have already established a certain reputation in the hearts of many movie fans. In addition, Yang Hao has won the Spring Festival championship for two consecutive years. Yang Hao's movies this year are bound to be anticipated by many movie fans.

The most important point is that the quality of this movie is indeed first-class. All theater managers feel that "Detective Chinatown 3" definitely has the potential to be a big hit.

To explain in one sentence why they gave "Detective Chinatown 3" a high screening schedule, it is that this movie can make them the most money.

After watching the finished film of "Detective Chinatown" and negotiating the screening schedule with a number of theaters, Yang Hao immediately flew back to the crew.

"Yang Hao, how is the quality of the finished film "Detective Chinatown 3"? What is the result of the talks with the theaters?" Han Yan couldn't wait to ask this question after returning to the crew.

In the movie "Detective Chinatown 3", Han Yan is also the deputy director. If the movie is a big hit, he will also get bonuses, at least his seniority in the industry will be deeper, which is why he couldn't wait to ask.

"The quality of the movie is very good, and the final cut is pretty much what I expected," Yang Hao answered Han Yan's first question with a smile.

After a pause, he continued: "The screening rate of "Detective Chinatown 41" has been discussed with major theaters, and the final comprehensive screening rate is as high as percent."

"41 percent?" Han Yan felt jealous when he heard Yang Hao say this number lightly. He was really jealous.

This is the Spring Festival period, the time of the year when there are the most blockbuster movies. The screening rate is often diluted by a few blockbusters. He really didn't expect that "Detective Chinatown 41" would eventually be given %.

At this moment, Han Yan has witnessed Yang Hao's terrifying influence in the film industry. Fortunately, Yang Hao is the producer of "Detective Chinatown". If it were someone else, even if it was the same movie, it would be a blessing for the theaters to give 30% of the first-day screenings.

“It would be great if the screening rate of Go Away Tumor could also be given to 40%”

"No, no, he will be satisfied with 30%." At this time, Han Yan was really envious of Yang Hao. He began to think in his heart, "Go Away Tumor" was also produced by Yang Hao. Will he be given a high screening schedule?
Liu Yifei and Meng Ziyi, who were standing nearby, also overheard the conversation between Han Yan and Yang Hao.

Meng Ziyi is okay. She is just a newcomer in the entertainment industry and is not quite clear about what a 41% screening rate during the Spring Festival means.

Liu Yifei’s situation is different. Although she is only 27 years old now, she has been in the entertainment industry for ten years and has starred in countless blockbuster movies.

She knows how terrifying it is that a movie can be released during the Spring Festival and the screening rate can be guaranteed to be 41%.

The movie "The Forbidden Kingdom", in which she co-starred with two international superstars, Brother Long and Jet Li, had a screening rate of only 37%.

The film "Taiwan Palace", which I collaborated with Chow Yun-fat, only had 22% of its screening time on the first day.

"Could it be that in the eyes of the theaters, Yang Hao's importance is higher than that of Brother Long, Brother Chow, and Jet Li?" This thought suddenly occurred to Liu Yifei.

At this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly found that Yang Hao seemed to have become more handsome? Yang Hao seemed to be full of magic, which made her want to get close to him.

Who plays the heroine in "Detective Chinatown"?
It seems to be Liu Shishi!
Liu Yifei was a little jealous of Liu Shishi at this time. She hated herself for not meeting Yang Hao earlier. If she had met him earlier, would she have had the opportunity to star in "Detective Chinatown"?

Liu Yifei is very confident that she, Liu Yifei, can also act in any movie that Liu Shishi can act in.

Humph! You know, Liu Shishi is the little Liu Yifei.
-
People in the industry have long known about Yang Hao's new movie "Detective Chinatown". They all know that this movie is definitely Yang Hao's movie to compete for the Spring Festival championship. A number of film and television companies are always paying attention to the news about this movie.

"Detective Chinatown 3" held a theater screening today, and almost all the film and television companies that were slightly informed knew about it.

As soon as the screening ended, all the major film and television companies began to inquire about the news.

Soon they learned that the overall screening rate of the movie "Detective Chinatown" on the first day was 41 percent.

41 percent of the first-day screenings is definitely a despairing number.

Does everyone know what this means?
It means that the quality of this movie is extremely high.

This means that many theater managers are very optimistic about this movie.

This means that movies released in the same period are likely to become cannon fodder.

Many film and television companies have begun to feel fortunate that their own films were not released during the Spring Festival.

The big and small kings of Huayi even opened the champagne.

"Brother, you are the one who has foresight to schedule the release of our film, 'Forbidden Kingdom', on New Year's Day, avoiding Yang Hao's 'Detective Chinatown 41'. Looking at its % screening rate on the first day, anyone who bumps into it will be in trouble," Wang Zhonglei raised his glass of champagne to Wang Zhongjun to celebrate.

"Haha, Zhonglei, how much is the box office of our "The Great Swordsman" now?" Wang Zhongjun was also very glad that the movie was released in advance, otherwise it would probably repeat the mistakes of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

"Brother, the box office of "The Blade" in its first week has reached 3.4 million. We are destined to make a lot of money from this movie."

"Haha", talking about the first week box office of "The Blade", the two brothers Wang Zhongju and Wang Zhonglei both laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Those who did not release their films during the Spring Festival are naturally happy, but those who did release their films during the Spring Festival are starting to worry.

"The Man from Macau 2" is one of the representatives.

Fatty Wang really regretted releasing the movie during the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival period was such a small period and "Detective Chinatown" alone took up 41% of the screenings. How could other movies survive?
