Chapter 502 The Number One in the Film and Television Industry: Second Generation Starry Sky Film and Television?
It's important to know that Dawan Cinemas was a crucial part of the Dawan Group. Now, the Dawan Cinemas have been sold by the Dawan Group, and moreover, they were sold to Ershixingchen.
Now everyone knows why Dawan Cinemas gave "The Wandering Earth" such a high number of screenings.
The current owner of Dawan Cinemas is Chen Jincheng, and he invested in all of "The Wandering Earth". So it's not surprising that Dawan Cinemas invested such a large amount in "The Wandering Earth".
But this news really caused a huge uproar.
After Chen Yixiao finalized the financing plan with Chen Jincheng, he paid close attention to Chen Jincheng, mainly because he was afraid that something might happen to Chen Jincheng and he might suddenly change his mind.
After all, it will take them quite some time to finalize their financing plan.
Seeing the news that Chen Jincheng had actually acquired Dawan Cinemas was also unbelievable.
Even as a layman, he could see that the film and television industry was about to experience a huge upheaval.
Chen Jincheng's acquisition of Dawan Cinemas has had a significant impact.
After all, Tencent's big-budget launch of Tencent Pictures was precisely to fill an important gap in their pan-entertainment industry chain.
Previously, Tencent Video was thoroughly humiliated by Ershixingchen Film and Television Network.
Now that the Second Starry Sky Cinema has another Dawan Cinema, what's going to happen?
If someone with a science and engineering background like Chen Yixiao can see these things, others can naturally see them too, especially some experts in the film and television industry, who have all spoken out about it.
A news post by an expert quickly went viral:
The Penguin Group's pan-entertainment industry chain will be subject to huge changes and impacts. As we all know, Penguin Pictures is an important part of the Penguin Group's pan-entertainment industry chain. In order to build this link well, Penguin has created a talent agency, a film and television company, and a film and television platform.
It can be said that Tencent aims to build this industry from upstream to downstream. With its film and television platform, it has almost completed the entire TV drama industry chain. In the television industry, it can compete with almost any other company. The only thing it lacks is the cinema, the terminal of the film industry.
Now, what Tencent has accomplished, Ershixingchen has also accomplished. Ershixingchen also has celebrity management, film and television companies, and film and television platforms. And what Tencent has not accomplished, Ershixingchen has also accomplished.
Now, Second Star Cinema already owns Dawan Cinema, which is currently the number one cinema in China with a market share of 24%, but it now belongs to Second Star Cinema.
Therefore, from the initial stage of film and television to the final stage, whether it is a TV series or a movie, the same is true for Er Shi Xing Chen. Let's imagine that Er Shi Xing Chen Film and Television has been continuously producing popular dramas. If it can maintain its data once again, it can be on par with iQiyi and Tencent Video.
Tencent Video is obviously aware of this, so the industry already knows that they are planning to use "Joy of Life" to target Ershixingchen Film and Television Network. If Ershixingchen can withstand "Joy of Life" this time, then Ershixingchen Film and Television Network will be established in the TV series circle.
Another point is that if "The Wandering Earth" achieves a high box office of over 30 billion yuan, then with Dawan Cinemas, the film industry will also be successful, which could make Ershixingchen the number one in the film industry in a short period of time.
At that time, Tencent Penguin Pictures will be completely suppressed by Ershixingchen Pictures.
After this post went viral, it attracted a lot of attention.
It's amazing that Ershixingchen Film and Television Network has reached this level in such a short time.
Moreover, most people who saw this trending news summarized two points.
1. The Second Generation Stars withstood the attack of "Joy of Life".
2. "The Wandering Earth" achieved outstanding results.
If Ershixingchen Film and Television Network accomplishes these two things, it will become the number one in the film and television industry.
The premiere of "Wandering Blue Star" is about to take place, and we'll know the results soon.
This also made people who saw the news pay more attention to the box office of "Wandering Earth".
Huang Zhen (Chapter 367), as the head of Tencent Penguin Pictures, is naturally the most concerned, since he is at the center of public opinion, and this public opinion is very unfavorable to him as the head of Tencent Penguin Pictures.
Therefore, he also inquired about the premiere of "Wandering Blue Star" in order to know the news as soon as possible.
When the assistant received the instruction, he frowned and asked, "Mr. Huang, do you think 'The Wandering Earth' will be a hit?"
Huang Zhen had no idea and could only frown and say, "Although the promotional trailer for 'The Wandering Earth' has amazing special effects, who knows what the final product will be like? Besides, hard science fiction is a niche genre in our country. Even if the quality is good, it's impossible for it to reach 30 billion."
The online buzz naturally put a lot of pressure on Guo Fan, so he was extremely nervous at the premiere and greeted Chen Jincheng with a big smile.
"Mr. Chen, you flatter me."
"Mr. Chen, you are my benefactor."
"Mr. Chen, I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on."
"..."
It's basically just flattery, relentlessly fawning.
After Chen Jincheng sat down, he looked at her speechlessly and said, "Don't try to flatter me like that. I don't fall for it."
What could Guo Fan do? He could only respectfully sit down to greet him. Then he saw one industry person after another who had been invited to the premiere come up to Chen Jincheng to say hello, hand him their business cards, and respectfully ask for his contact information.
After exchanging contact information, these people couldn't hide their excitement.
Guo Fan couldn't help but sigh as he watched this scene: This is what status is all about.
It wasn't until the movie started playing that things quieted down around Chan Kam-ching.
After all, they are all industry professionals, and they should at least show some respect for the premiere. The key point is that they are also curious about how the movie is.
Soon, the lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and a stunning celestial effect appeared, then the story began.
The narration also gave everyone a general idea of what the movie was about.
At first, no one paid much attention to the disaster.
They thought it was just a simple wildfire or a drought...
Everything changed when this disaster began to affect each and every one of us.
The plot of "Wandering Blue Star" began to unfold before everyone's eyes.
In 2075, due to unforeseen circumstances, the sun rapidly aged and expanded, forcing humanity on Earth to embark on a "wandering Earth" journey.
The plan.
After careful design, human engineers built tens of thousands of giant planetary engines on the Earth's surface in an attempt to propel the Earth out of the solar system and towards Proxima Centauri, 42 light-years away.
At this time, Earth also entered the "Escape Era". The surface began to be frozen by extreme cold, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive. Survivors could only live in underground cities.
As the protagonist and his sister steal a transport truck and escape the underground city, the camera pans and zooms in, showcasing massive mining machinery, followed by a breathtakingly huge planetary engine.
A simple shot was enough to make everyone around gasp.
These industry professionals instinctively sat up straight, seemingly wanting to get a better look at this breathtaking creation. They had come to the premiere to see what the film was like, and now, upon seeing it, everyone felt a unique heavy industrial aesthetic, as well as an indescribable sense of awe.
The film incorporates many science fiction elements, including underground cities, transport vehicles, and space stations. These unique science fiction concepts are brought to life as tangible objects and appear before the audience's eyes.
I wonder how many people felt a chill run down their spines at this moment.
Then many people started to get excited, and some even felt the urge to burst into tears.
What did they see?
This movie is definitely hard science fiction!
This is hard science fiction that has never been seen in the domestic market before. Just from what they've seen so far, they know that China is about to have its own hard science fiction. This film series is likely to rise to prominence.
……
It wasn't until the movie ended that everyone gradually came to their senses, and then applause broke out.
Beside Chen Jincheng, Tian Xiwei was also captivated by the movie. After watching it, she couldn't help but praise, "Boss, this movie is really well made. I watched the whole thing seriously. It's bound to be a hit, right?"
Yes, even girls could tell this movie would be a hit, and industry insiders certainly could too.
However, as time went on, they became dissatisfied with the fact that they could no longer delve into the content of the film itself.
Are there any stories outside of the movie?
This is what everyone wants to see.
Guo Fan naturally didn't miss this opportunity and began to recount the difficulties of making the film, even going so far as to recount the story of the withdrawal of funding, which was obviously creating his own online buzz.
So he told everyone about Chen Jincheng's investment and Dawan Cinema's investment.
Because Dawan Cinema had already dismissed Chen Jincheng, he boldly cursed, "The former person in charge of Dawan Cinema was an idiot."
Guo Fan naturally wanted to say that it felt really good to swear like that.
Afterwards, he wanted to ask Chen Jincheng to go up and say a few words, but Chen Jincheng refused.
After the premiere, the internet went wild.
Praise!
Praise!
All positive reviews!
After the premiere, everyone present was certain of one thing: this movie was going to be a hit.
Chan Kam-ching already knew the outcome, so he didn't care. Instead, at the end of the movie, he shook hands with someone from the production team and chatted for a few minutes.
The other party has a drama called "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" that is about to start production. Sun Ji found out about it and reported it to him beforehand. It was also his second drama for Tian Xiwei.
"The Romance of Tiger and Rose" was a very popular and widely watched drama in another world, which directly made the female lead of the drama famous.
Moreover, the female lead is quirky, clever, and sweet, which makes Tian Xiwei a perfect fit.
Therefore, he arranged to discuss the matter in detail with the other party the next day.
After the premiere, "The Wandering Earth" also started its pre-sale mode, which will be greatly influenced by those who attended the premiere.
Besides industry insiders, there are many lucky viewers who will become word-of-mouth promoters, especially bloggers who will definitely edit and promote the content.
Of course, there are bound to be haters as well.
After all, it's possible that some people deliberately say "The Wandering Earth" is terrible in order to get more views.
This is how it was in the past. Even though "The Wandering Earth" has grossed 40 billion yuan, some bloggers still criticize the movie relentlessly, emphasizing their maverick nature and claiming to be the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk.
Or they might be planning to take a controversial approach, and their fans will still be fans.
However, Chen Jincheng was not worried. After all, he still had the large army of the slice group. Once Yi Jin and the others got moving, the positive reviews of "Wandering Blue Star" could instantly cover the entire internet, and those haters would be useless.
After the premiere, Chen Jincheng also attended the banquet hosted by Guo Fan. He drank some alcohol at the banquet and naturally got 'drunk,' so it was perfectly reasonable for Tian Xiwei to take him home.
...
As time went by, the positive reviews of "Wandering Earth" quickly exploded across the internet thanks to the promotion by the Yijin and other editing groups, and the momentum made many people tremble.
It wasn't just people from Tencent Penguin Pictures, but also managers from major cinemas.
After all, the number of screenings they gave to "Wandering Earth" was not high. You could say that the number of screenings was a bit meager. If the movie is really a flop, that's fine. But if the movie becomes a hit, that would be awkward.
Hu Kai is a prime example.
He is the person in charge of scheduling at Dadi Cinema. He allocated 15% of the screenings to "Wandering Blue Star," which is a very low number compared to the other three films.
If "The Wandering Earth" becomes a box office hit, they'll be in an awkward position, feeling like they were blind to its potential.
The key point is that the incredible level of online buzz surrounding this movie proves that it's going to be a hot topic, not a cold one at all.
Another vice president, upon hearing the news, hurriedly approached him: "Mr. Hu, have you seen the situation online? The popularity of 'The Wandering Earth' is enormous, its momentum is too strong. What do you think will happen to the movie tomorrow? Will the pre-sales break 5000 million? Or even 1 million?"
Hu Kai was unsure and could only say, "President Lin, it's really hard to say. We can only wait until tomorrow to see how things go. If the movie's pre-sales are booming, then we need to immediately increase the number of screenings for 'Wandering Blue Star'."
Moreover, he had also seen the trending news. If the pre-sales of "Wandering Blue Star" could reach 1 million, that would be truly remarkable. If Ershixingchen Film and Television became the number one film and television company, then they would have achieved half of their goal.
The momentum of "Second Generation Star" is going to really make things difficult for Tencent Video.
If Tencent Video's meticulously prepared "Joy of Life" also fails to work with Ershixingchen Film and Television Network, then the film and television industry will truly enter the era of Chen Jincheng.
Hu Kai was completely absorbed in this matter, so the next day, as soon as he arrived at the Dadi Cinema office, he immediately began to check the pre-sale box office status of "Wandering Blue Star".
When he saw the pre-sale results of "Wandering Blue Star", his eyes widened in surprise.
Unbelievable.
So shocking.
Yesterday, he and President Lin were discussing whether the pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Earth" could break 5000 million.
Whom are they underestimating?
