They were all newcomers. Although Ning Xi had acted in "Under the Heavens" before, that was her only work. Fan loyalty was not high to begin with. Moreover, she had only released a new work after such a long time. The change in theme was so huge, so the impact on the box office was almost negligible.
"You guys can continue with the regular publicity as planned. I'll think of a solution to the theater's scheduling problem," Shen Mian said calmly.
Since he was prepared to take this path, he had naturally foreseen everything that was happening now.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that the situation was not optimistic.
Zheng Kangde's movie had a shockingly high scheduling rate and had almost taken over the entire market. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to cut a bloody path out of it …
Although they did not say it out loud, everyone was inevitably a little discouraged.
They all knew that the quality of their film was miles ahead of Zheng Kangde's film. However, in the current film market, the quality of the film no longer seemed to be the key to the box office …
No one knew this better than Shen Mian, the director.
Because of this, Ning Xi admired Shen Mian even more for cutting off all means of retreat this time …
…
In the past, Shen Mian's films had always been fought over by all the major cinema chains. Even if things had not been very optimistic in recent years, the scheduling rate had never been lower than 30%.
However, this time, without the big names and powerful investors backing them up, the final scheduling rate was less than 10%. Several of the cinema chains even had a scheduling rate of 5%, and all of them were silent before 12 AM and after 22 PM.
This was the result that Shen Mian had personally fought for from many sides.
Finally, the day of the premiere of "The Dreamseeker" arrived.
Ning Xi checked the major cinemas in the Imperial City. Almost all of them were scheduled in the morning and at night.
In the end, Ning Xi bought tickets for the 22 PM movie.
It was the weekend, so there were quite a lot of people out on dates and watching movies. However, because it was really late, there were only a few people left in the cinema.
Among these people, most of them were there to watch "I Only Like You". Under the circumstances that both films had the same theme, the audience would naturally choose the more popular one.
At that moment, in front of the movie poster of "I Only Like You", a man and a woman were discussing.
"Baby, why don't you watch this? There are a lot of big names in it, and I heard it's quite funny! "The man suggested.
The girl mumbled unwillingly, "No … I don't like Liang Biqin! She's too pretentious! Also, she looks so scary in men's clothes! "
"Did I? I think it's okay! "
"Anyway, I don't want to watch stupid movies! If you want to see it yourself! "
"Then what are we looking at? There aren't any good movies at this time … "
"Let me see … Oh, Dream Seeker? Leading roles, Ning Xi, Shen Hanchen … I've never heard of them! But … holy shit! The male lead in this poster is way too handsome! He's totally my type! This gaze … This temperament … Just look at this! "
In the poster of "Dreamseeker", there was a man and a woman, but in reality, the man was not the male lead, but Ning Xi.
One was Ning Xi in men's clothes, and the other was Ning Xi in women's clothes. Those who didn't know would misunderstand that one was the male lead and the other was the female lead.
The man seemed a little speechless. "But this seems to be a retarded drama …"
"Cut the crap. It's still a brainless drama. At least the handsome main actor is pleasing to the eyes!"
