Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 202 202. New record for streaming media
  That night, the box office statistics of theaters in various places have been completed.

Chen Li's "I Am Legend" had a box office of 2797 million on the first day, which was much lower than the 1.9 million of "Moonfall" on the same day, and could only be considered a fraction.

This can be said to be the first time in so many years of filming that Chen Li has been publicly separated by such a big gap.

However, although it seems to be a disastrous failure, from the perspective of the industry, it is not that Chen Li's film is not good, it is simply that he does not want to make money by releasing it in theaters. People would rather not eat this part of the money, but also go to streaming media to give back to fans.

This kind of behavior not only makes some filmmakers sad, but also admires them more.

Everyone knows that it is a rooster that can lay eggs, but no one dares to stew it and eat it like him.

And since the popularity broke out yesterday, the number of movie views on Penguin Video Network has exploded, and the number of views in a single day has reached a terrifying [-] million views.

This almost set a new single-day record for online video playback. According to the agreement, a movie on demand costs 6 yuan, and Chen Li takes 3.5 yuan, which is already more than [-] million yuan.

This profit is not much compared to "Moonfall".

And this is just in China. Netflix, which was launched simultaneously abroad, also hit [-] million views in one day.

Streaming companies are going crazy.

When did a movie become so powerful?
  The number of views is only one aspect that they look at. New members who join because of "I Am Legend" are what they want to see most.

A movie by Chen Li has set an unprecedented new record for these streaming media companies.

Even the CEO of Penguin Video Network posted a video on his scarf to express his gratitude to Chen Li, and said in a subsequent interview:

"The peak popularity of "I Am Legend", average daily play time, average daily number of users covered, and membership revenue all rank first in the history of the platform, and the biggest breakthrough is that it brought nearly [-] million new users to the platform overnight. member!"

"In one fell swoop, we have reversed the sluggish membership user growth situation of our platform in the first few quarters! Therefore, I would like to thank Director Chen Li again! Thank you for bringing us such a good movie!!"

His words shocked many people in the industry!

Thirty million new members! ! So much huge data!
  Streaming media has been difficult to do in recent years, and not many can make a profit. Most platforms are still on the border of profit and loss, so many people in the industry were shocked when they heard the data released by Penguin Video Network.

Behind this membership data will be an increase in the playback volume of dramas on all platforms, and can also bring more than billions of economic value and advertising revenue to the platform!

Jealous! envious! envy!

Inside the Kiwi Video Network: "Quickly, arrange for someone to contact Director Chen Li and be sure to buy the exclusive copyright for his next online movie!!"

Toilet Video Network: "Go to Chen Li's company and be sure to talk to him about cooperation. No matter what the conditions are, as long as he asks for it, I will agree directly!"

Cool video: "No matter who it is, as long as you can ask grandpa to ask grandma to invite Chen Li to cooperate, you will get a year-end bonus of one million! Company stock dividends!!"

YouTube: "Xia Kingdom is too far away. I have to go to Hollywood to find Allen in person. We have funds and a good script. We sincerely invite Chen Li to film."

At this time, any far-sighted streaming media company will not let go of this sweet potato.

In the next few days, the movie "I Am Legend" took advantage of the streaming platform to almost sweep the world. It was searched more than [-] times in three days, and it became the most popular title on the entire Internet in one fell swoop. Ratings skyrocketed and it became one of the world's most popular movies of the year.

The movie box office has also been rising steadily. Although it is not much, it has reached more than [-] million, and the number of clicks has also increased several times.

"These are only apparent data, because streaming media inevitably has the problem of film piracy. Therefore, if you include those pirated ones, it is estimated that the number of views will exceed one billion!"    "Hey, I just went to foreign school. Everyone on the Internet is discussing this movie, calling it the best zombie movie!”

"Of course, it doesn't matter who filmed it. With the strength of our boss Chen, can we make a bad movie? Only those netizens who don't know the truth are deceived!"

"Now no one says we are cutting leeks, it's so cool!"

In the office, Wang Anrou, Wang Li, and Li Tian were discussing the new movie with great interest and were very excited.

After all, everyone was under huge pressure from public opinion some time ago, and almost lost their temper and yelled at the trolls.

Fortunately, everything has cleared up now.

Chen Li walked out and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Wang Anrou saw Chen Li and immediately smiled: "Brother, we are talking about those two theaters. You don't even know that the box office of "Moonfall" today is only 1.2 million, which has been declining for several days in a row. Now they I was so anxious that I bought hot searches everywhere for marketing, but it was useless, it just couldn’t be popular and it couldn’t get started.”

"The limelight has been overshadowed by us. Moreover, now everyone can watch a good movie for only 6 yuan, but few people go to the cinema!"

"Hahaha, we deserve it for letting them bully us all the time!!"

When Chen Li heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "So, it's quite miserable."

Li Tian also said proudly: "Yes, their co-production this time is still quite good. It's just that it's not a hit but it's a hit. That's the most painful part."

In the club, the massage brothers Li Kui and Lu Shuangyi were indeed in pain.

Their brows were as furrowed as chrysanthemums, and they were so worried that they couldn't even eat while watching the movie daily.

why! ?

Why is the damn box office not rising, but falling! !
  Who can I ask to reason with this? If it is a bad movie, he will admit it, but this movie obviously has a good reputation both at home and abroad, and the ratings are not low, but the box office is not rising!
  It was previously estimated based on pre-sale tickets that the final box office would be 40 billion. Judging from the current daily ticket sales, it would be great to have 20 billion.

Chilling!

Their two theaters invested a total of nearly 6 million in this movie. According to the three-fold return principle and the box office split, they didn't get much at all. Moreover, according to the split agreement they signed, they could only get a share of the domestic box office. There is no overseas box office, so we calculate it this way.

Blood loss! !
  Now it's better, not only didn't I make much money, but the bold words I put out before were like a slap in the face!
  Moreover, the two desperately discovered that there seemed to be no possibility of a comeback, and there was nothing they could do about the current situation.

"Damn Chen Li!!"

"Made!"

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and the two of them smoked cigarettes one after another, feeling at a loss.

"No! Mr. Lu, many theaters outside have begun to reduce the film schedule of "Moonfall". Before, there were 35%, but today only 25% is left!"

At this time, the secretary hurriedly came over to report.

The two of them turned pale again, it was over, the chain reaction was coming! !
