Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 535 The Final Retreat

"Then what should I do!!?" Tao Yaoyao was a little anxious.

She originally thought that if her father took action, this matter should be solved easily.

In the past, no matter what problems she encountered, Tao Qingchao could help her solve them, so she believed in Tao Qingchao's ability, but she underestimated the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Mubai himself didn't really want Tao Qingchao to intervene in this matter, not only because he couldn't solve the matter even if he entered the arena, but another reason was that this was a major test for him.

If he can't pass this test, then he still can't assure Tao Qingchao that he has enough ability to protect Tao Yaoyao.

What if Tao Yaoyao encounters a similar situation in the future?

At least Tao Yaoyao is in the entertainment industry by herself, Tao Qingchao can protect her well, and she doesn't have to be afraid of being dealt with, but since she is with Chen Mubai, she will have to bear the attacks of Chen Mubai's opponents in the future.

Chen Mubai must have enough ability to protect her. If this incident gets over, Tao Qingchao will probably recognize Chen Mubai's ability to protect Tao Yaoyao.

This matter is a test, once it can be resolved, it will be a great improvement for him and Mubai Entertainment.

Especially this kind of thing, since it can happen once, it can happen twice, how to break the game is the key.

"I still have a way out, but I don't really want to do that, it's a bit troublesome, but if there's really no other way, I can only do that." Chen Mubai pondered.

"What way?" Tao Yaoyao asked in surprise.

It is best if there is a way to solve it, it is better than being unable to deal with it.

"I had a relationship with Mr. Luo of Times Media before. If there is really no room for it, then I can only choose to sell it overseas, and then see if I can rely on the influence of the film to drive domestic demand." Chen Mubai said.

Relying on the low schedule of movie theaters, the box office is definitely not ideal, and it is too difficult to counterattack.

Chen Mubai didn't want to put his treasure on this chance, he would rather explore overseas markets, maybe he could solve the predicament.

In his opinion, the success rate of this matter is higher than the chance of a domestic counterattack.

This step was something he thought about at night, and it was also the last way out. All decisions had to wait for the screening rates given by the major theaters tomorrow.

"It's good if there is a solution." Tao Yaoyao comforted Chen Mubai and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Chen Mubai shook his head: "Not yet, now we need to wait for news."

Qian Hui is mobilizing his personal connections to investigate the truth of the matter, and he is also thinking of ways to eliminate this difficulty for Mubai Entertainment.

Lu Fang and Li Feng are also in contact with the theater, everyone is busy with this matter, Chen Mubai needs to wait for the news from the front before making a decision.

If it was only the Seventh University that dealt with him, and the rest of the entertainment companies that held theater chains were willing to give up dealing with them, then their path would be easy. Although the Seventh University is very powerful, its influence is limited.

Besides, the biggest Huaying did not deal with them. This is good news. Once the blockade is not so strong, things will turn around.

"Let me know if you need help, and I will definitely help you!" Tao Yaoyao said tenderly.

"good.

"

The two hung up the phone quickly, and Tao Yaoyao didn't want to disturb Chen Mubai any more at this moment, so she stopped talking early.

Tao Yaoyao also sent a WeChat message at night, recommending the movie "Buried Alive" again.

There are not many things she can do, but she just wants to expand the influence of "Buried Alive". No matter where "Buried Alive" is released, as long as she can contribute a little power and expand its influence, it will have an impact on "Buried Alive".

If it is released in overseas markets, it will basically be the Southeast Asian market, as well as Taiwan Island and Xiangjiang. The theaters in these two places are not controlled by the seven majors, and their hands cannot reach there.

Except for the ticket warehouses in the Mainland, there are no problems in other places.

The problem is that the mainland is the largest box office, and it is also the most promising market for many film studios. Losing the opportunity here will really affect the box office of "Buried Alive".

Although there are Chinese movies in Southeast Asia, but due to cultural reasons, these movies still have limitations, and the box office will naturally not be as high as local ones.

Moreover, there are a lot of people in mainland China, and the potential of the box office is huge, even higher than the potential of the Southeast Asian market!

If it is not impossible, Chen Mubai really does not want to go to the overseas market. The overseas market still needs to be distributed by Luo Fan, and more money needs to be deducted. The distribution needs to be re-promoted, and the price will go up again for the overseas market. up.

 …

the next day.

When Chen Mubai came to the company, everyone was sitting in the conference room.

The key members of Mubai Entertainment are all here, everyone knows what happened yesterday, this is a big crisis.

Chen Mubai found that everyone's faces were full of exhaustion, and their eyes were also anxious. It can be seen that they didn't have a good rest last night, and they were worried about this matter.

"Mu Bai, this morning I contacted the theater I went to yesterday, and they gave me a schedule."

After Chen Mubai was seated, Lu Fang spoke.

"The film schedule given by each theater chain is basically 5%~%9, hovering between."

These are the seven major theater chains, and they basically give cannon fodder-level films.

Even some movies that have been released for 20 days have a higher ranking than this one. It can be seen that this is blatant targeting.

Yesterday's speculation has become a fact, coupled with Qian Hui's analysis, everyone knows that there is great concern about the future of Mubai Entertainment.

"Some mid-level theaters have a higher lineup, around \u0015."

Generally, the screening rate of better movies is basically above 20%. There are several movies in a schedule that are divided equally.

Lu Fang went on to say: "The 15% movie theaters are all credited to Mr. Qian. He changed the minds of those theaters, but few theaters did this to us. Some theaters didn't target us. But it didn’t help either, the film schedule was around 12%.”

Qian Hui's help is very great, at least it changed the attitude of many medium-sized theaters, but the impact is limited. Judging from this situation, the overall film schedule is still very low, the highest is only 15%, and only two or three theaters give such a high Row slices, the rest are lower.

If this is released, I'm afraid the box office will not be so high. After all, there is still a lot of garbage time in this filming schedule. At least the theaters from the Seventh National Congress have basically lost their box office.

Relying on only one Huaying, the box office can only provide a limited amount.

Based on the attitude of the Seven National Congresses, many theater chains did not have a very good attitude towards Mubai Entertainment. Even if Qian Hui's relationship played a role, everyone arranged the films according to the evaluation, and did not give any more preferential treatment.

The situation Lu Fang said was much better than yesterday, at least not so desperate.

"How about we take a gamble?" Chen Yunteng said hesitantly: "Compared to yesterday, at least the attitude of the medium-sized theaters is much better. Let's see if we can rely on word of mouth to save the box office."

The basis of all this relies on the quality of the film itself. Although he has not seen the film, he believes in Chen Mubai's ability and the reputation of the film, so he wants to fight hard to see if he can counterattack.

"Although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible." Someone agreed.

"Taking advantage of this time, we can go to the theaters in county-level cities again. I hope to win more high-ranking films in private theaters and increase the base number. It may not be bad!"

The theater chains of the seven major theaters are large in scale, so there are many theaters. There are not so many theaters in the medium-sized and private theater chains, and the layout in the city is much smaller. Many of them even focus on third- and fourth-tier cities. So if we can handle this part of the market , the box office is still not bad.

Even if it will have a smaller impact on the box office of the Big Seven, it is better than nothing.

Everyone also agrees with this method. Although it is very troublesome to implement and needs to be run from city to city, it is still a method.

Li Feng looked at Chen Mubai: "Mubai, what do you think?"

Chen Mubai said: "This is a method, but it is undeniable that the consumption level in third- and fourth-tier cities is not high. Even if they get the film, it will have limited improvement in the box office."

"The most important thing is the box office in big cities, and it is also the main consumer group at the box office. This is why the contacts of the seven conferences are mainly arranged in theaters in big cities."

When everyone heard the words, the hope that surged in their hearts fell silent again.

Yes, the bigger the city, the more people go to the movie theater. Film scheduling is very important, but the consumer group is more important. There is still a big gap in the consumption level of third- and fourth-tier cities. This is an undoubted fact.

Everyone didn't know what to do, and they were a little confused.

I just heard Chen Mubai continue to say: "I thought about starting from overseas. Times Media has overseas distribution channels. If it is discovered from overseas, it will radiate to China through word of mouth and box office. In this way, domestic theaters will be forced to pay more. slices."

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and there was a bit of thought in their eyes.

This is indeed very reasonable, and it can be regarded as a retreat. In comparison, the prospect is better than the previous method, and it can even harvest a circle of overseas box office.

But it is also very difficult. After all, the cultures of different countries are different, and some things are not common, especially movies that have unique cultural flavors of each country, and others may not necessarily pay for them.

But if it succeeds, it will be able to break the blockade of the Seventh National Congress and achieve double harvest at the box office at home and abroad!

This method has a higher upper limit, which is the opposite of Chinese films, a bit like foreign films entering the Chinese market.

Foreign blockbuster films are released abroad for a period of time before they are released in China. Sometimes the word-of-mouth and box office of a film will affect domestic theaters and audiences.

For blockbuster movies, they will definitely be imported, because this is a movie that can make money.

If "Buried Alive" has a high overseas box office, its influence will also increase, then the domestic demand for this movie will be relatively high, and everyone will want to watch it, then theaters will consider the needs of movie fans and release this movie.

Originally, the theater chains were also based on profit. If "Buried Alive" could really make money, this closed alliance would be destroyed by itself, and there must be theater chains that would remove the restrictions on Mubai Entertainment.

After all, everyone is not optimistic about "Buried Alive" at present. If it succeeds in overseas markets, it means that the quality is guaranteed, and the possibility of making money is beyond doubt. Naturally, theaters will recommend this movie.

"But in this way, the time will be longer and more money will be spent." Li Feng said.

If it is released overseas, then a new round of publicity will start from overseas, which will cost more time and money.

"However, this is indeed a method, with advantages and disadvantages."

Everyone was frowning and thinking about the two options, which one is better, and for a while, the atmosphere was solemn again.

Chen Mubai said: "I'll go ask Mr. Luo about this first."

After finishing speaking, Chen Mubai left the conference room and came to his office.
