Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 636 Pricing 28, Donations
Facing the reporter's question, Zhang Xiao replied: "It's just that the summer vacation schedule has been confirmed, and the specific time has not yet been clarified."

"Xiao Shen, if there are no accidents, "Battle of the Red Cliff" may also be released in the summer vacation. Will you become rivals, or will you snipe "Battle of the Red Cliff"?"

"No, "Battle of the Red Cliff" is an ancient costume war drama, which can be released globally. This is a great improvement for our domestic films. The rise of Chinese themes in the global film market.”

"Xiao Shen, don't forget that the main investor of "Battle of the Red Cliff" is Huayi Entertainment Company, and the director is Chen Gang."

"Mr. reporter, please don't forget that there are dozens of actors in "Battle of the Red Cliff", they come from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. This movie is not made by Chen Gang alone, but belongs to the entire Huaguo entertainment circle. "

"Everyone knows that you are a shareholder of Disney Cinemas, Warner Cinemas and Universal Cinemas, and you have great rights. Will you increase the number of films for "Battle of the Red Cliff"?"

"As long as "Battle of Red Cliff" has a high enough attendance rate, I will never let the number of films scheduled become a factor affecting its high box office. This is my promise, not only for "Battle of Red Cliff", but also for all other domestic films The same goes for movies."

"Papa papa!" Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, there was warm applause at the scene.

"atmosphere!"

"This is the mind of a filmmaker!"

"As expected of my idol!"

"From this point, it can be seen that Xiao Shen really hopes that domestic films can go to the world."

"Compared to this, Chen Gang is really not worthy of lifting Xiao Shen's shoes!"

"···"

After the interview, Zhang Xiao returned home and never showed up again. Apart from staying at home with his wife and children, he went to Taishan Special Effects Company to see the progress of "Zhu Xian" in the later stage, and occasionally went to Uncle Qian'er's zoo to play.

It was not until April NO.12, when "[-] Angry Men" was about to be released, that Zhang Xiao came out to promote it.

First up is the launch trailer, which, as before, will only be one release.

Since the movie mainly relies on lines to promote the plot, Zhang Xiao only intercepted the highlights of twelve actors, and formed a 58-second trailer without any cause and effect.

Fans were stunned when they saw the trailer with only the actors' modeling and acting skills, and the plot was cloudy, but at the same time they could see the actors' strong acting skills.

"Wow, Teacher Chen's explosive power is so powerful!"

"Teacher Li is as immobile as a mountain, it seems that he is playing a weak old man!"

"Xiao Shen's spear is very handsome!"

"Gao Weiguang's performance seems to be pretty good."

"Don't talk about the plot, just watching the performances of these great actors is worth the ticket."

"Nine 10-minute movies don't know how much the ticket price will be."

"I think thirty at the most."

"···"

Yang Mi in the villa was also asking about the pricing of Zhang Xiao's "Twelve Angry Men".

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and replied, "What do you think of 20 yuan?"

"No way!" Yang Mi rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "You are disrupting the order of the market. In the past five years, no theater has sold a movie ticket worth 20 yuan. I will not agree!"

"That's true!" Zhang Xiao nodded, and said, "But if the charge is too expensive, I'll be really sorry, after all, this movie is only nine or ten minutes long."

When I was on Earth, "Twelve Citizens" was 108 minutes in total, and scored 8.4 points on a certain website. Zhang Xiao felt that there was a big problem with this remake of "Twelve Angry Men", that is, too much force .

Since the jury system is not adopted in China, there is a virtual morning breeze in the film itself, and it is not easy to convince movie fans.

It's obviously unreasonable for these people who didn't know each other beforehand to start arguing with each other just because one or two sentences are inappropriate.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao directly removed these things, but increased the conflicts between them.

At this time, Reba who came to see Xiao Xinxin said, "Brother-in-law, if you feel sorry, donate the extra money?"

Hearing Reba's words, Yang Mi quickly said: "The ticket price is set at 28 yuan, how about donating two yuan for every ticket sold?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "Two yuan? This is too petty, no matter how you say it, it will cost five yuan!"

Yang Mi widened her eyes and said, "For the ticket price of 28 yuan, you can only get a profit of 50.00 yuan, and if you donate another [-] yuan, it is equivalent to donating [-]% of the profit."

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "So what, is our family short of money now?"

When Yang Mi heard this question, she was speechless for a while, and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you like!"

Reba was even more speechless. People are really pissed off. How many people dare to say such a thing?
But Zhang Xiao's family is indeed not short of money.

···
Three days later, the pre-sale channel for the movie opened, and Zhang Xiao posted a message on his Weibo, writing: "Brothers and sisters, the pre-sale channel for "Twelve Angry Men" has opened, and the ticket price is fixed. It is 28 yuan, but every time a ticket is sold, [-] yuan will be used for charity, please support it.”

As a superstar who doesn't show much on Weibo almost all year round, Zhang Xiao's Weibo immediately got a response from fans.

"Shen Xiao is so powerful!"

"Don't say anything else, just because of God Xiao's kindness, I have to go to the cinema to support it."

"For the ticket price of 28 yuan, Xiao Shen, as the producer, can get a maximum of ten yuan, and if he donates another five yuan, it is equivalent to donating 50.00% of the profit."

"I never knew how many schools could be built with this money."

"Boundless love, why do I love God Xiao so much? This is the reason."

"···"

Not only movie fans, but the actors of "Twelve Angry Men" also loved Zhang Xiao.

Chen Daoming: Well done, I will donate all my salary.

Li Xuejian: Keep up, so that the movie "[-] Angry Men" will become more meaningful.

Gao Weiguang: Keep up, I am proud of participating in "[-] Angry Men", and I will donate all the film salary.

Han Tongsheng: Keep up, the film pay will be donated!
Lee Kwong Fu: Keep up, all film remuneration will be donated!
···
The actors of "Twelve Angry Men" all expressed that they would donate their salary to charity. Seeing this, Zhang Xiao immediately responded.

"The kindness has been received, but the donation will not be accepted. We can't let everyone contribute in vain. The donations from the teachers are covered by the crew of "[-] Angry Men". I hope that "[-] Angry Men" will be a big hit at the box office. "

The interaction between Zhang Xiao and the actors was highly appreciated by the fans, who expressed their support with practical actions.

By eleven o'clock in the evening on April 27th, the pre-sale box office of "Twelve Angry Men" had reached 4.58 million. Although there was still a gap compared with Zhang Xiao's previous films, this achievement was already the highest among similar themes. It's amazing.

What's more, the total production and publicity costs of "Twelve Angry Men" are only 7000 million. The pre-sale box office of 4.58 million not only allowed Zhang Xiao to recover the cost, but also earned more than [-] million.
