Chapter 1225: Instant Fa!
At the sa ti, custor's suggestions and complaints flooded many big cinemas. Every day, countless custors requested more showtis for "Dream Chaser".
"Manager, what should we do? There were more than 100 calls today alone asking for more showti allocations for 'Dream Chaser'!"
Similar conversations occurred in the offices of many cinemas.
Nevertheless, with the pressure from Zheng Kangde, all the managers stood together and ignored their custors' requests. They still tried to force the custors to watch "I Only Like You" by limiting their choices.
…
The consequences.
On the fourth day, on a weekend, netizens' love for "Dream Chaser" and their dissatisfaction towards the cinemas reached its peak.
As the popularity of "Dream Chaser" rose, Zheng Kangde's movie was criticized harshly.
[Give back my money, Liang Biqin! I didn't really feel this way before watching "Dream Chaser", but after that, I realized that a movie that's produced in re ten days isn't a movie at all! It's just a tool for making money!]
[Liang Biqin's movie is terrible. It's not funny at all! After watching "Dream Chaser", I felt like my soul has been cleansed!]
["I Only Like You" already told that it's a cody from its promotional video, but the real thing is worse than the promotional video!]
[Trash movie!]
[Have you grown tired of living? Why watch Liang Biqin's movie?]
[What the heck? Why is the showti allocation for "Dream Chaser" still so low? I wanted to book tickets for "Dream Chaser", but the list is full of that stupid movie of Liang Biqin's!]
[So many people are recomnding it! With "Dream Chaser" being so popular now, why is there still so little showtis? Are the people-in-charge for the cinemas blind?]
[It's not that hard to guess! Of course, there's so under-table deal going on! All those managers must've taken so money!]
[It's because of these people! They are the one who made China's movie industry beco such trash!]
[Damn it! Not only do they like trash themselves, they are even forcing us to watch trash as well! This is the sorry state of the current movie industry!]
[Rise up! People who don't want to watch any more trash! Let's complain! Don't watch that stupid movie again!]
[You're right! Boycott stupid movies! Get that stupid movie out of the industry!]
…
Zheng Kangde did everything he could to shift the premiere date of his movie to be near to that of "Dream Chaser". However, he did not expect that not only did he not make "Dream Chaser" go down, but due to the comparison, his movie was criticized badly instead.
Ironically, after Zheng Kangde had spent so much money on marketing "I Only Like You", it helped "Dream Chaser" much more. Anywhere "I Only Like You" was ntioned, people would surely compare it with "Dream Chaser" and the popularity of the latter rose higher as it got a lift in marketing from "I Only Like You"…
…
On the weekends, most of the cinemas showing "I Only Like You" at peak tis were empty. Only a few people were inside the large cinema halls.
When it ca to odd timings like early in the morning and late at night, the cinemas were revived. Any hall that was showing "Dream Chaser" was fully occupied with no empty seats to the extent that tickets were hard to get.
