The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

Chapter 1148 - 1148 Locking the Field


1148 Locking the Field

“Who said it wasn’t?”

The slightly plump middle-aged man also sighed dramatically.

“Previously, for “Hibiscus”, they used Director Ge, whom everyone thought would not be able to produce a good film, and all the actors they used were newcomers, but they managed to earn a lot of money with a small amount of investment. This time, it’s even more amazing. They dodged “Fantasy God Chronicles” which could be called a heavenly pit and picked up on the great opportunity of “Chasing the Light.” It can only be said that Shengguang Media’s luck is indeed good. On the other hand, I wonder how regretful Yu Media will be when they see today’s box office results.”

According to the initial situation, the film “Chasing the Light” should have been Yu Media’s, and “Fantasy God Chronicles” should have been Shengguang Media’s. In the end, the situation for both sides had been reversed.

If they had taken the wrong script, both companies would have been on completely different paths.

“At that time, many people had been optimistic about “Fantasy God Chronicles”. If this opportunity had fallen into the hands of any other company, they would have never let it go. Shengguang Media, however… Tsk. Sometimes, things like investments are really mysterious.”

The younger man looked at Lu Huaiyu with a smile and said, “Speaking of which, Second Master’s vision is still as unique as ever. If you hadn’t insisted on giving the most showtimes to “Chasing the Light”, we would probably have a headache like the other big cinema chains.”

Other than Lu Corporation, most of the domestic theaters had reserved more of their showtimes for “Fantasy God Chronicles”.

After the premiere and pre-screening, word of mouth had escalated, and some smart ones had reduced the corresponding showtimes. Who would have known that after the official screening, the box office results would end up worse than they had expected?

The attendance rate was the lowest among the seven movies that were released on the same day.

Many of the cinemas that had lost money began to curse.

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

There had been a reason that Lu Huaiyu had for making that choice back then.

However, there was no need to tell others about that.

The slightly plump middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

“Today’s market performance of the major films is already very clear. I estimate that from tomorrow onwards, the showtimes of “Fantasy God Chronicles” will continue to decrease. The box office earnings… I don’t think there will be much hope.”

The theater chains were not stupid. Why would they continue to play a bad movie that no one was watching instead of a good movie?

Even if it was an investment from Yu Media, it would be the same. After all, everyone had to make a living, and of course, their own interests were the most important.

However, in this aspect, other cinema chains could not be compared with Lu Corporation… They had already made an agreement with Shengguang Media.

Now that the results for “Chasing the Light” were even better than they had expected, they would definitely cooperate more with them. This would mean that the cooperation between the two parties would be even more pleasant.

“Based on the current trend, the final box office sales for “Chasing the Light” will most likely enter the top ten nationwide box office sales.”

When the younger man mentioned this, his face was filled with admiration.

“It would be great if I could have the opportunity to visit the boss of Shengguang Media. I wonder what kind of person he is.”

With “Hibiscus” and “Chasing the Light”, he was now the hottest and most mysterious person in the film investment industry.

Lu Huaiyu’s lips curled into a faint smile.

“If there’s a chance, I’ll go and see him.”

The two executives were quite surprised to hear this.

Under normal circumstances, it would be others who wanted to visit Lu Huaiyu. It was rare for him to want to go and meet others.

“Second Master, do you also think that the President of Shengguang is quite capable?”

Lu Huaiyu had a slight smile on his face.

“Yes, I am very interested in this person. Besides, I’ve earned some money from this person this time, so it’s only right for me to express my gratitude in person.”

On the second day of the National Day holiday, the film market was still booming.

“Chasing the Light” had won first place at the single-day box office with earnings of 170 million Yuan.

On the other hand, the situation for “Fantasy God Chronicles” was getting increasingly worse. When the market closed, it had only earned 9 million.

The incident at the premiere had already made many people strongly feel resistant to “Fantasy God Chronicles”. In addition to that, after the pre-screening, the movie’s terrible quality had attracted even more ridicule and annoyance, and everyone was even less interested in this movie.

It was not until the first day, when it was officially released nationwide, that the audience could finally see clearly that it was completely rotten. It was clear that its reputation had completely collapsed.

The feedback from the market was very fast. All of this was reflected in the box office earnings the next day.

Everyone with a discerning eye could see that this time, “Fantasy God Chronicles” could no longer be saved.

On the morning of the 3rd, Shen Li was reading at home when she received a message from He Xiaochen.

[ Ahhhhhhh! The tickets to “Chasing the Light” are too difficult to get! I’ve searched five cinemas near the school, and all the good tickets for today’s show are sold out! Even the shows with particularly strange timings have only been left with seats that have poor views! [ fury ] [ fury ] ]

She had already made an appointment with her dear Ah Li to watch it together, but who would have known that it would be so hard to get a ticket, which made her angry!

[ I can’t even pick any of tomorrow’s shows! What’s wrong with these people? Are they trying to fight with me over two movie tickets? ]

Shen Li could not help but laugh.

[ It’s fine. It’ll be the same even if I go a few days later. ]

He Xiaochen thought she was being too naive.

[ Ah Li, you don’t understand the current film market at all! With the current popularity of “Chasing the Light”, it will probably be extremely difficult to buy tickets for the entire National Day holiday! I think we’ll have to wait a long time if we want to buy tickets for good shows and good seats! ]

Shen Li was not really bothered about this.

[ Then let’s just wait. ]

He Xiaochen sent her a sad emoji.

[ “Fantasy God Chronicles” has the lowest attendance rate. It would be great if their shows were replaced with “Chasing the Light”. I saw that they only sold two tickets for many of the later shows, but just because of these two tickets, “Fantasy God Chronicles” has to be shown. They can’t change it to “Chasing the Light”. It’s so harmful! ]

Shen Li’s eyes narrowed.

[ Are you saying that “Fantasy God Chronicles” has been locked down? ]
