Chapter 1405 The troubles that follow
"By the way, the number of "War Tiger" is broadcasting is really few now!"
"Yes, that's right. We only arranged one game yesterday and today, and it was 22 o'clock. Isn't this intention to make things difficult for the audience? It's so late, who will go to the movie?"
"You're okay, you don't know that we are here. It would be fine if we changed all the scheduled shows to Transformers. What's even more annoying is that those who want to watch "War Tiger" were taken to a small house by the theater, played with a projector, and the ticket stubs were all handwritten."
"Damn it, it's true and fake. Isn't this stealing the box office?"
"That's right, do these cinemas still have a bottom line? It was shameless to change the playback times to Transformers, but they even steal box offices. Now the box office of "War Tiger" was not good. Now that this phenomenon is the case, it will be even more difficult to make money!"
"I hope Wu Jing won't be hit. Looking at his end, it seems that there will be a second part, but judging from the box office situation, it's probably difficult to get the second part."
"That's right, the investor of this first part is Bai Ningyuan. Although he is not short of money, he won't take out the money and waste it."
All kinds of news about War Tiger suddenly became in full swing on one day. Although the release and discussion of these news were still limited to several forums that could be affected by War Tiger, at least the number of topics suddenly increased sharply on this day.
However, as the number of topics soared, many problems were reflected in the remarks of many netizens and fans. The most prominent point was that the box office of "War Tiger" was stolen.
The methods of stealing box office can be said to be full of tricks, and more importantly, stealing box office is already a hidden rule in the film industry. Almost all major cinemas have more or less exist, and it can be said to be a not-so-secret secret in the industry.
Even in Hollywood, where the film industry is very developed, many theaters have various box office stealing behaviors in order to maintain profits and obtain more benefits, which has become a global existence.
However, stealing box offices is only for some popular films. In this way, the data fraud is less likely to be seen. Many crews, even if they know that their box office has been stolen, there is no actual evidence. Secondly, there are many infringing parties, and it is difficult for the crew to protect their rights and interests, and they end up leaving it alone. However, like now, the box office of "War Tiger" is already low, which makes people feel a little unsatisfied, but many cinemas are still stealing box offices. This behavior is already quite bad, especially as a netizen said, even the screening equipment and theaters are not enabled, and they are directly played with projectors. Isn't this effect unsatisfactory? The audience spent money but did not get the enjoyment they deserve, and the money they spent would not be given to the crew, and all fell into the hands of the cinema. The cinema can be said to have eaten this and that end.
However, this kind of eating look is really ugly.
By 11 years, the Internet had become quite developed and popular. In addition to the existence of movie fans, the relevant personnel of the cinema also browsed from time to time.
The box office of "War Tiger" was stolen slowly in the forum and became well-known to more people. When many "War Tiger" fans felt indignant, the relevant personnel of the cinema also noticed this.
But what originally made the movie fans very angry seemed to be a reminder to them, making them realize that they could still do this.
If this method of using the screening hall is just an accidental event, then with the fermentation of the topic, it suddenly pops up everywhere like mushrooms after a rain.
More and more movie fans began to react that they were encountering the situation of using projectors to play "War Tiger", and the ticket stub was also handwritten.
Under such circumstances, Zhan Hu's box office, which had been growing very slowly, was even more like a thousand pounds of weight on his back, climbing upwards with difficulty, but there was almost no sign of movement.
The situation became increasingly bleak.
At this time, Bai Ningyuan, as an investor in this movie, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He denounced this unlimited box office stealing behavior on his Weibo account. As evidence, he showed the handwritten ticket stubs provided by many netizens, including some well-known theaters and cinemas in China.
Although "War Tiger" is not very popular, Bai Ningyuan's attention has never decreased. In this world, there is never a lack of sense of justice. People who are particularly prone to indignation when they see injustice, and people who are not afraid of the big deal are never short of people who watch the fun. Therefore, many people have discussed various discussions on this topic, and even major media have treated it as a hot news, and have launched discussions and investigations on the issue of stealing box offices.
For a time, Bai Ningyuan was once again on the hot search list, but although Bai Ningyuan's popularity made many people know about the movie "War Tiger", it still did not have any impact on the box office promotion of the movie.
People are more popular than movies, this is what they mean.
However, people also discovered something particularly interesting in this matter, because from a certain perspective, the box office of "War Tiger" became the first investment failure in Bai Ningyuan's entire legendary experience.
Bai Ningyuan's history of success has always been a legend. People are amazed at the fact that every move he made was like a prophet of the uncertainty, and never had any failures or mistakes, so this point has always been regarded as the object of research.
But now, this powerful and daunting guy finally has time to fail in investment.
The media seemed to have discovered a new world and kept hyping this topic, as if Bai Ningyuan's investment failed, and it was something that everyone expected, which was very satisfying.
Many people talked about this very much, and "Bai Ningyuan's first investment setback" also ranked first on the hot search list.
Bai Ningyuan's opponents seemed to have encountered some happy event that had not been seen in a thousand years, and they were almost celebrating each other.
But even if there are many topics, the performance of "War Tiger" is indeed unsatisfactory. So among the many different opinions, on the eighth day of the release of "War Tiger", many cinemas replaced the screening of "War Tiger" with the recently popular Transformers 3. The release of "War Tiger" was turned into 3 and halved...
