wang zhonglei, vice chairman of huayi brothers, expressed his views on box office issues and film distribution strategies at a recent event. he believes that movies still need a sense of ritual and cannot be lazy. "it's like a supermarket, buy whatever is selling well. this cinema might as well just show classic old movies. the time limit for new film screening licenses is too long, only 30 days, but the copyright is ours, we can actually continue to hold offline screening activities and continue to show them when the ratings are up."
wang zhonglei's analysis reflects the challenges facing the current film market. competition in the film market is increasingly fierce, and the release strategy of new films has also become one of the key factors in box office sales. for example, this summer's previews have been too long and have become old films, resulting in unsatisfactory box office performance. "last year, wang baoqiang's "in the octagon" had two points. he said that the audience should watch it in advance. after watching it, the reputation was good, so it was moved up. this year, there are also seven or eight movies that do this... i think this summer vacation was a failure. only "catching dolls" was released on the same day. other films were previewed for too long and became old films. when they were officially released, the first-day box office was not as high as the preview, and the entire movie only sold 100 million yuan." he said.
wang zhonglei's observations and analysis not only reflect the current status of the film market, but also reflect the importance of film culture. film is not just a form of entertainment, it also carries multiple meanings such as cultural heritage, social value and personal emotions. "movies still need a sense of ritual, and we can't be lazy. just like a supermarket, we buy whatever sells well. this cinema might as well just show classic old films. the time limit for new film screening licenses is too long, only 30 days, but the copyright is ours. we can actually continue to do offline screening activities and continue to show them when the ratings are up."
wang zhonglei's views also triggered people's thinking about film distribution strategies. the film market is at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading. how to balance the traditional cinema model and emerging trends requires filmmakers and related departments to work together to seek new development directions.

the development and evolution of movies are also closely related to social and cultural integration. with the progress of the times, people's demand for movies has also changed, from pure entertainment needs to a lifestyle and spiritual pursuit. the change in the release strategy of new films is precisely to better meet the needs of the audience and integrate film culture into people's lives.
