Chapter 17-The Gap Continues to Shrink, Realizing the Overtake!
The next day.
The premiere box office was announced.
In first place was "Youth in Love", which was produced by Sky Entertainment. It directly earned 80 million yuan at the premiere box office.
Of course.
This was not strange at all.
Regardless of whether the movie was good or not, just Yun Kun's face was enough to make a group of fans pay for him.
In second place was Lin Yi's "Detective Chinatown", which had a box office of 25 million.
Logically speaking.
Tang Tan had even more celebrities. Whether it was Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao, Xiao Yang, or even Zhang Zifeng, each of them had a representative work with a box office of one billion yuan.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
They were all taught by Lin Yi. Their acting skills were many times better than Yun Kun's, but why was the box office earnings on the first day so much worse!
The reason was actually very simple.
This was because the entertainment industry was now dominated by traffic.
As long as you had a large number of young female fans, the box office would naturally not be low.
Other than that.
There was another reason.
That was because Lin Yi was not famous before. He had never directed a movie, acted, or entered the entertainment industry.
Such a person suddenly came out to film a movie.
People naturally didn't want to watch.
…
Tian Yu.
Dong Ning looked at the box office and smiled proudly."Hehe, I thought that Lin Yi was very powerful, but it seems that he's only so-so. The box office sales aren't even one-third of ours, so how can he compete with us?”
The assistant stood at the side and reminded,""Boss, their evaluation is very high. Do you think they will surpass us in the future?”
"Surpass us?"
Dong Ning sneered and said,""What's the use of having a high evaluation? In this era, it's all about traffic. Look at his students. What's the use of having good acting skills?”
"Boss is right."
The assistant nodded in agreement.
Dong Ning leaned back in her chair and said proudly,"We only invested 10 million in this 'Youth in Love,' but the return on our investment has increased by dozens of times. I have to say, in this era of popularity, it's really easy to earn money from these brainless fans!"”
Dong Ning was right.
Now was the age of traffic.
In the past three years.
The popular celebrity became popular.
Countless fans swarmed over.
Accompanied by this situation.
Popular movies came into being.
This kind of movie had low investment, low cost, easy creation, and very high returns.
The scriptwriters and directors in the country.
He also realized this situation.
Instead of trying his best to write a good script and direct every scene, why not choose an easier and more profitable way!
Hence, he decided to do it.
The scriptwriters and directors in the country.
It began to spontaneously move closer to the traffic.
Therefore…
There were fewer and fewer good movies in the country, and there were more and more popular movies.
This situation continued for a long time.
It created this era of popularity.
Right now.
Dong Ning was extremely pleased.
Obviously.
He believed that he could still win this time.
However, as time passed.
Dong Ning made a shocking discovery.
The gap between the two movies was getting smaller and smaller.
The daily box office of "Youth in Love" was getting lower and lower, and the screening rate and attendance rate were also starting to drop.
On the other hand, Detective Chinatown's daily box office was getting higher and higher. The attendance rate was even more shocking. Basically, every show could reach more than 90% attendance.
The people at the cinema were not fools.
Facing such a situation.
They quickly adjusted the screening rate of Detective Chinatown to 25%, the same as the screening rate of Youth in Love.
Every few hours.
Dong Ning would watch the real-time box office once.
He was surprised to find out.
The gap between the two was shrinking.
Finally.
On the twenty-fifth day of the screening.
The box office earnings had been surpassed.
In first place was Detective Chinatown, with a box office of 1.8 billion.
As for "Youth in Love," it was in second place with 1.7 billion box office earnings.
At this moment.
Dong Ning was completely defeated.
He had lost.
His trump card.
He had lost.
One had to know.
This was the first time in three years that Yun Kun had failed after his misfire.
More importantly…
He actually lost to Xiao Yang.
A few months ago.
He made a public statement.
There was only one outcome for helping Xiao Yang, and that was losing his reputation.
But now?
Not only did Lin Yi help Xiao Yang, but he did not lose his reputation. Instead, he became even more popular!
This naturally made him extremely unhappy!!
However…
Dong Ning wasn't the only one who was unhappy.
Lin Yi was equally unhappy.
During this period of time.
He had been busy with The Life You Await. He had already signed a contract with Mango TV and was almost done with the preliminary work.
It was estimated that there would be a week left before the start of the game.
They could record it.
During this period.
He specially took some time off to watch "Youth in Love" in the cinema. He endured the feeling of nausea and watched the movie until the end!
It was no exaggeration to say that.
This movie was even more disgusting than the "Demon City Fortress" from the previous world.
The plot was disgusting!
Disgusting acting skills!
Everything was disgusting!
But it was such a trashy movie.
They could actually get such a high box office.
How could he be happy?
The age of traffic!
Good!
As a movie director!
As a capable actor!
As a glorious teacher of the people!
He could not allow this situation to continue.
He wanted to…
completely shatter the era of popularity.
Let the movie return to normal.
This was what it meant to be responsible for the film.
He was responsible for the director.
It was also a responsibility to the audience.
