191 The Times Film Industry in Despair

On the night of 5.1, a explosive news appeared on the news.

There is a big v who has always been well-informed and revealed that there was a big problem with the movie "Once Upon a Time"!

@Octopus Hungry Dad:

#Old We Are Large-scale Refunds# According to feedback from the theater staff, there were a large number of malicious refunds in the movie "Old We Are" and its investors took advantage of the newly issued ticket refund loopholes in the ticket purchase aid to pay for the pre-sale box office and then refunded the tickets in large quantities on the day of the premiere.

The big v’s revelation also posted many screenshots of chat conversations from theater employees.

Cinemas all over the country have become victims in Beijing, Shanghai, flower markets, Yunnan and other major cities.

If the movie tickets of hundreds or thousands are withdrawn at one time, who can afford such losses?

There are even theaters that no longer accept refunds for the "Once Upon a Time" incident!

But it is not possible to not refund tickets in theaters, and it is impossible to stop them at all. Major movie ticket distributors, that is, online ticket purchase software, must also turn off the refund system!

Once this news came out, relevant major Vs, movie magazines, and self-media in the film industry reposted it.

The theater chain is not easy to mess with. "We used to be a film" and frantically refunded the tickets. It is obvious that it is to kill others. I'm sorry, even if the theater chain works together, it will make this film bad!

With the efforts of multiple parties, an hour later, #Once upon a large-scale refund of our tickets# was given the first place in the hot search for news and quickly exploded!

Ironically, the second news is still a marketing advertisement for #The former tear-jerking blockbuster#!

The netizens who clicked in were shocked when they saw the slutty operation of this movie.

Some of the audiences who were cheated by this movie finally had some complaints.

"Since someone revealed it, I want to say, this movie is just rubbish! Its lines are not good, and it is worse than saliva songs."

"So how many of the 120 million pre-sales were released on this first day?"

"My friend has only built a small theater recently. It has just been opened. Because of the sarcastic operation of "Once Upon a Time", his capital chain has been broken, and he will be put into the screening for at least one week in the next."

Large theaters like Guanchi can slowly cut off some of the screenings of "Once Upon a Time" for other movies.

But for small cinemas, in order to make money, they mainly distributed this seemingly popular movie, and waited for the box office to explode and made a fortune.

As a result, "Once Upon a Time" frantically refunded the tickets, and the cinemas that were previously arranged became abandoned, and there was no other movie to fill in the schedule!

Not only does it not make money when a scrap yard is ruined, but it also has to pay money inside!

If funds are poured in, they cannot flow back. Where can I get money to distribute new movies in the summer season?

How can a small theater withstand such tossing?

Not to mention small cinemas, even Times Film could not bear it and held a shareholder meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.

In the conference room of Times Film Group, looking at the shareholders of the company present, Hu Zhengxin said with a pale face: "There are more than 100,000 tickets left out. Chen Ying, this woman, what kind of hatred does our Times Film have with her? Let her catch our family and make a fuss!"

Faced with the ticket refund craze of "Once Upon a Time", although Times Film's theater chain is under pressure, it is not powerless to resist.

They have decided to gradually cut off the schedule of this movie on the second and third day, and use the remaining films of the same period to share some of the pressure.

As long as you last a month, the June schedule will come, and when the new movie enters, you can completely eliminate "Old Us".

But when it was close to midnight, "Once Upon a Time" bought more than 100,000 movie tickets in Times Theater through the ticket purchase gang.

Times Cinema immediately realized something was wrong.

However, the ticket purchase and ticket refund function has not been turned off yet, so it is even more impossible to turn off the ticket purchase system!

So Hu Zhengxin could only watch the other party buy tickets.

What's even more frustrating is that Royal Entertainment is now in a mess and will not care about the life and death of Times Pictures. Hu Zhengxin's request to call Ke Runheng was directly rejected.

So by midnight, the nightmare of the times came.

Didi!

The ticket refund system prompt sound of the theater data group began to ring wildly.

The 180,000 movie tickets sold two hours ago were returned with more than 150,000!

The key is that there are 20,000 movie tickets left on average across Times Cinemas, and all the golden theaters in the next three days.

In other words, at least three to four days in the next, the schedule of "Once Upon a Time" will be launched again.

The screening was locked twice and could not be cut down at all!

Several movies used by Times Pictures to save the scene were almost squeezed out, and the prime time scenes were swallowed up by "Once Upon a Time".

Other theaters are cutting the screening of "Once Upon a Time", but the times are better, and they have been adding screening!

This time, I was completely trapped in!

So now not only Hu Zhengxin is anxious, but all the shareholders in Times Film Conference Room, including Times President Jin Zibo, are anxious.

Once it is not handled properly, Times Cinema will be over.

"The movies we invested last year were not highly rewarded. In addition, the big investment film at the end of last year was affected by the delayed screening of "Giant Screen Crisis 2" and "Charlotte". In the end, the money from the theaters was used to make new movies, and they usually rely on theater subsidies. Now theaters have this situation again."

President Jin Zibo said in a depressed voice: "After counting carefully, the few money I have earned in the past two years are all related to Wei Xun."

One is "Forensic Chronicle", one is "No Questioning the West", and the 20 million buyout fee when it finally withdrew from "Chinese Partners".

Aren’t these three movies all related to Wei Xun?

The key is that "Chinese Partners" itself is the fat of the times, and they were thrown away by them after they were left.

Whenever I think of this, the shareholders of the times regret it so much that their intestines turn green.

Because he withdrew from "Chinese Partners", Hu Zhengxin has become a laughing stock in the circle, so he is most sensitive to the word Wei Xun. When the president said this, he suddenly had a bad premonition: "Mr. Jin, what do you mean?"

"It means that tomorrow you and I will go to Medal Media. The ticket purchase helper will dominate. We must connect to the new ticket purchase system to share the online market. If we don't take action as soon as possible, will we have to wait until June to get another movie that will return tickets in a crazy way?"

Jin Zibo said: "In a short period of time, we dare not cooperate with Dynasty Entertainment. The "Wolf Warrior" of Guard Xun will be on the market in two months. Only such a big-produced movie can be qualified to reverse the losses of Times Theater. However, in the past year, Medal Media's movies have never been willing to enter Times Theater. I think you know the reason why."

Hu Zhengxin felt his heart tremble for a moment.

He looked around and found that not only Jin Zibo, but also all shareholders stared at him indifferently.

But when he decided to withdraw from "Chinese Partners", it was clearly the decision made by the shareholders. Why did he, Hu Zhengxin, take the blame for everything in the end!

Over the past year, he has been mocked by everyone in the circle. Now he is still pushed out by shareholders and bows his head to Wei Xun to admit his mistake.

Hu Zhengxin really wanted to stand up and leave, saying that I would not go.

But after a shareholder meeting that had been held overnight, seeing that Times Film had vague signs of a complete collapse, now that it is not asking for help, can it be that the company is over?

So the next morning, Hu Zhengxin, who had red eyes, followed Jin Zibo, who had not slept all night, to Medal Media.

On the way, some self-media pushed new news in the entertainment industry.

The ticket purchaser finally locked in the ticket refund system.

The two presidents of Times Pictures finally breathed a sigh of relief, but next, there was another difficulty.

Before entering the medal, Jin Zibo said, "Old Hu, you... try your best to admit your mistake later."

In Medal Media, Wei Xun spent the night in the lounge area of ​​the president's office.
Chapter completed!
