Chapter 492: It's exciting when there are many eyes around! Da Da Mi Mi: ???

Yanjing.

Huanyu Company.

It was ten o'clock at night, but the lights were still blazing.

"The boss did a great job!"

"That's right, it’s damn satisfying."

"Boss, just because of those words, we’ve decided not to take such a long vacation; we’ll rest for a month and then continue grinding on *Jackie Chan Adventures*."

Lin Yu’s Seven-Colored Rainbow Animation Studio.

That night, every artist was indescribably excited. Everyone here was an artist who had been abandoned by big companies or had gathered here because of their passion.

Everyone actually had a fire in their hearts, wanting to prove themselves.

And Lin Yu’s words on the Movie Channel had directly lifted their spirits.

That’s right, we don't need anyone’s approval; in the future, we will be the benchmark of the industry.

Especially after hearing Lin Yu’s words, the artists were overwhelmed with emotion, their eyes brimming with tears.

Only those in this industry knew how boring and tedious it was to sit in front of a computer every day, using a stylus to modify and trace bit by bit, and how hard it was to persist.

This not only gave the studio’s artists face and unprecedented respect.

It also enraged the high-and-mighty Domestic Animation Association.

"The barefoot aren't afraid of those wearing shoes!"

"Since you look down on us grassroots, we’ll show you results."

"Today you ignore me, tomorrow I’ll make you unable to climb high enough to reach me."

"......"

Looking at Huanyu Company, however.

Da Peng and the other executives looked worried.

"The boss seems to have caused trouble again!"

"Sigh! That’s *Detective Chinatown*, that’s Director Chen Chen Sicheng! This time he’s really made an enemy and offended them to death."

"Brother Da Peng, next time can you persuade the boss to be more cautious when he’s out and about?"

"......"

Unlike the mixed joy and worry of the others,

Lin Yu was sitting in his boss chair, savoring the coffee in his hand.

Staring at the screen, clapping his hands in approval from time to time.

It seemed as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, this version is it."

"Release it first thing tomorrow morning."

Lin Yu pointed at the promotional video the studio had worked overtime to finish, nodding in approval.

It seems professional matters really should be left to professionals!

"Brother Yu, Sister Mi is here."

Da Peng immediately signaled for everyone in the office to disperse quickly.

To clear out some private space for Lin Yu and Boss Yang.

Just as she entered the door.

Yang Mi and Lin Yu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Well done."

"That guy surnamed Chen must be furious at you."

Yang Mi and Tong Liya were good friends, and upon learning that her husband Chen Chen Sicheng was a philandering scumbag, she felt indignant and truly felt it wasn't worth it for Yaya.

Lin Yu’s act of despising *Detective Chinatown* tonight had, on the contrary, vented some frustration for Yang Mi.

"But, didn't you speak a bit too big?"

Yang Mi took off her black suit jacket.

She took a pair of pink slippers from Lin Yu’s cabinet and said in a soft, milky voice.

Lin Yu, of course, knew what Yang Mi was asking about.

"It’s just over four billion in box office, isn't it?"

"It’s no big deal."

Others didn't know, but Lin Yu knew very clearly.

*Ne Zha* didn't get much attention in the previous parallel world.

But it relied solely on word-of-mouth and the exquisite presentation of the work to achieve a top-five result in the history of Chinese cinema, with a box office that directly broke 5 billion.

One had to know this was without any promotion, and the director was also a newcomer who was completely unknown.

It was hard to imagine how popular this film would have been if they had put effort into the publicity at the time.

So Lin Yu’s interview was intentionally meant to ignite the topic and get everyone to pay attention to this film.

This was very common in the film industry; usually, before a film’s release, some incidents would be created to generate hot topics and build momentum for the box office.

Seeing Lin Yu’s confident appearance, Yang Mi didn't say anything more and talked to Lin Yu about the rules for this box office split.

The box office of Chinese films generally flows in three directions.

The first direction is paying special business taxes and film special funds.

It accounts for about 10% of the total box office.

This must be paid after every film is released.

The second direction for the split is the cinema and the theater chain, which generally get about 50% of the total box office.

The rest goes to the distributor and the producer.

With the help of the Film Bureau, the distributor was directly set as Huanyu Media Film and Television Company.

The producer was the Seven-Colored Rainbow Animation Studio.

It was Lin Yu’s first time hearing these rules.

He didn't expect the clauses inside to be so complicated.

He had gained a preliminary understanding of the ins and outs.

"I’ve already communicated this part for you."

"The scheduling for the theater chains will change based on the first day’s box office."

"But Lin Yu, you also need to be prepared in advance; the scheduling for animated films won't have many screenings."

Yang Mi gave Lin Yu a heads-up; after all, this subject matter leaned towards a younger audience.

Theater chains would also consider the target audience, so the number of screenings naturally wouldn't be high.

"Ok."

Lin Yu smiled and said confidently.

Theater chains are nothing but fence-sitters!

As long as his box office is high, there’s no need to say much; every cinema will increase the number of screenings. They aren't stupid; who would turn away money that’s already in their hands!

"Is this your promotional video?"

Yang Mi walked up to Lin Yu’s desk and leaned over to look at the computer screen.

But she didn't expect to be pulled down by Lin Yu.

Sitting squarely on Lin Yu’s lap.

"Uh."

"It’s not very good to be here!"

Yang Mi pushed him away with a shy face, looking nervously at the office area outside the blinds.

"It’s exciting when there are many eyes around!"

Ignoring the resistance of the Da Da Mi Mi in his arms, Lin Yu forced his way through.
