Chapter 174
Because they had investments on both sides.
And in promotion, they didn't favor one over the other, doing everything that should be done.
But the problem is that Tang Tan originally had 35% investment, now it became 20%.
Damn!!!
The more he thought, the angrier he got, Wang Zhonglei couldn't take it anymore.
Looked at Wu Kebo on the side whose mouth was crooked from laughing.
He broke down.
Viciously said.
"Wu Kebo, you stepped on my foot, jerk, I'll kill you!"
After saying this, he directly choked Wu Kebo's neck.
"Die, you jerk."
"..."
"Ahem ahem!"
"Wang Zhonglei, you guy are crazy, let go of me!" Wu Kebo was also stunned.
I'm two or three meters away from you, stepped on your mother.
"Dream on, only one of us can live today, go to hell!!"
"Damn, jerk, you think I'm afraid of you~"
Everyone watched as the two big shots of the entertainment industry started choking each other.
They really started choking.
Everyone was stunned, what's going on?
Boss Wang, are you okay, Manager Wu is so far away from you, how could he step on you?
Xiao Yang and Wang Baoqiang wanted to stop them, Deng Chao hurriedly pulled them back.
"Brother Chao."
"Don't go." Others didn't know the inside story, Deng Chao had heard of it.
When Huayi invested at the beginning, Feng Xiaogang came out and cursed.
As a result, Qin Yun Culture gave quite a bit of investment to Orange Sky Entertainment, heard that quite a bit was transferred.
This Tang Tan evaluation is good, midnight box office is very good, even if it can't reach the height of Now You See Me.
But 500 million shouldn't be a big problem.
Calculated this way, even if it's 1% investment, the return is at least 1-2 million.
Wu Kebo grabbed so much investment, no wonder Wang Zhonglei wants to kill him.
Everyone listened and had strange expressions on their faces.
So that's what happened.
Then you guys fight, Manager Wu probably feels it doesn't matter either.
Giving 100,000 to take a punch, he might feel a bit at a loss, not worth it.
But if it's 1 million, Wu Kebo would definitely dare to take two punches, maybe even feel he earned it...
"Don't worry about them." Qin Yu was also very happy looking at the numbers.
"Let's go, Director Guo is treating tonight, let's have a good meal."
Guo Fan on the side was still stunned, Tang Tan was the movie he directed, and the midnight box office was nearly ten million.
Much better than his last time.
He was excited.
Hearing Qin Yu's words, he smiled.
"Director Qin, why am I treating!"
"You're the director, isn't that what you should do?"
"Exactly, you should treat." Xu Zhen was incredibly envious.
Qin Yu is very generous to his own people.
Guo Fan, as the director, has a 2% box office share, of course, he can also take 3 million in cash.
Guo Fan chose the box office share.
Just the midnight box office alone, Guo Fan earned 200,000, damn, after it's off the screen, millions, nearly ten million shouldn't be a big problem.
Xu Zhen wanted to kill him with envy.
Guo Fan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xu Zhen, looked at everyone and smiled.
"Okay, I'll treat, let's eat barbecue, eat whatever you want."
"Director Guo is generous."
"Eating the big household."
"..."
Everyone was happy, the previous tension and worry were swept away, picked up their coats and rushed outside.
Qin Yu did the same.
As for the roadshow, fear a hammer, watching the box office climb steadily, everyone can stay up all night without problems.
"Hey, why did you guys leave, help me get this mad dog off."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Wu Kebo was drunk, you guys really aren't human.
"Wu Kebo, return the money to me."
"..."
"Get lost, Wang Zhonglei, you're crazy, that's my money."
"Damn, kill you!"
"..."
"..."
In stark contrast to Qin Yu's side was Feng Xiaogang's room.
Everyone saw the numbers, and didn't dare to speak.
If you really want to say it, 7.4 million is not low, really not low.
If You Are the One evaluation is good, midnight box office is also good.
As long as the box office doesn't jump too much later, 400 million shouldn't be a big problem.
Can earn quite a bit of money.
But the key is who are you comparing with!!
Tang Tan is nearly ten million, two million more than them.
Everyone had a toothache.
How could it be this much more, shouldn't be.
Looked at Feng Xiaogang one after another, this guy's face was gloomy, as if he was about to explode and kill someone in the next second.
"This is not right, my screening and Qin Yu's are about the same, impossible to be this much more."
"Qin Yu, this guy, wouldn't use some dirty means, would he?"
Feng Xiaogang is a real old gun.
Very sensitive to box office numbers, both screenings are the same.
Even if Qin Yu had a few hundred thousand more than him.
He would feel it's normal.
But two million, there's a problem.
Definitely a problem.
"Wouldn't the box office be stolen?"
"No way, Qin Yu dares to do this?"
"..."
Shu Qi, Fan Wei, and others widened their eyes, feeling it was unbelievable.
If this matter is really exposed, Qin Yu's reputation will be ruined instantly.
"Xiao Gang, I don't think so. I just called to ask," Wang Zhongjun said, holding his phone.
"Although the theater chains didn't say it explicitly, because of Qin Yu's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala, they secretly changed the screening schedules."
"Qin Yu has about ten percent more than you."
Feng Xiaogang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The atmosphere in the room turned incredibly awkward in an instant. These theater chain people were truly shameless.
They had promised not to help anyone.
Yet they were secretly tripping people up.
"These bastards, I'll kill them."
Feng Xiaogang was fuming. Damn it, so shameless—saying one thing to your face and doing another behind your back.
"It's okay, Xiaogang. If you had more than Qin Yu, you'd win too. We just need to stay steady."
"As long as the box office trend is fine after three days, there's still a chance to overtake him."
Xu Fan hurriedly comforted him.
In truth, she also felt the theater chains were being underhanded.
But there was nothing to be done; Qin Yu had advertised on the Spring Festival Gala, so who could they blame?
"That's right, Director Feng. We'll work hard on the roadshows. Thirty days is a marathon, not a sprint. We just need to stay steady."
"Exactly, Director Feng, there's still a chance."
"I know," Feng Xiaogang naturally knew that.
"But I can't swallow this. I'm going to post on Weibo and curse those bastards out."
"..."
"Maybe don't do that."
Xu Fan watched Feng Xiaogang run toward the bedroom and tried to stop him.
After all, they still relied on the theater chains to make a living.
"Forget it, Xu Fan, let him go," Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.
"But..."
"It's not a big deal. The theater chains were in the wrong to begin with. If Xiaogang wants to curse them, let him."
"If they're making money, they should expect to be cursed a little."
Wang Zhongjun figured the theater chains wouldn't do much. Could they really blacklist Feng Xiaogang?
Don't make me laugh.
They'd likely just pretend they didn't see it.
On the other side, Weibo had exploded.
The moment the box office numbers came out, they were instantly pushed to the hot search.
[Spring Festival Box Office Showdown: Genius Director takes the first round, Detective Chinatown's 9.7 million surpasses If You Are the One 2's 2.3 million!]
[The genius director won!!]
The audience was quite surprised to see this. Feng the Cannon had lost, and lost so miserably.
Over two million, at that.
That was no small number.
The onlookers and Qin Yu's fans were overjoyed.
They left comments one after another.
"Feng the Cannon met a tough opponent this time. He used to just beat up domestic directors, never expected him to be rubbed into the dirt by Qin Yu this time."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"..."
"I say, Director Feng, why bother? Losing this badly, what a pity."
"It's okay, it's okay, Director Feng, come back next time."
"..."
"By the way, is Detective Chinatown really that good? Someone with big balls tell me, is it worth watching?"
"Same question, is Qin Yu's work really that impressive?"
"..."
"I've got big balls, I'll tell you. I watched the premiere today, it's very good. Detective Chinatown had me dying of laughter, you guys have no idea how funny it is."
"Especially Xiao Yang and Deng Chao, those two are going to be the death of me."
"Same here, I watched it too. I suggest you all go see it, you won't regret it."
"..."
"Pfft, If You Are the One is also very good. I guarantee it's absolutely brilliant."
"That's right, what are you guys acting so arrogant for? It's only the first day, and it's just midnight box office numbers."
"Being fat first doesn't mean you're fat; the one who gets fat last is the one who crushes the bed."
"..."
"Agreed, I support Director Feng. If You Are the One is the pinnacle of Feng-style comedy."
"..."
Hearing this, Qin Yu and the fans who had seen Detective Chinatown were unhappy.
People were asking about Detective Chinatown, why are you bastards here?
Get lost.
PS: Second update, brothers, please support.
Please add to your library, please give flowers, please tip, please use your update tickets, please rate, please give all the support you can!!
"If you're going to watch something, watch the best. What's so good about Feng-style comedy? It's just old wine in a new bottle."
"Exactly, Feng Xiaogang just does the same old thing, I'm sick of it."
"..."
"Get lost, don't think I haven't seen Detective Chinatown. It was incredibly awkward, not funny at all."
"Exactly, I watched it and fell asleep for an hour."
"..."
"Damn you guys, playing dirty. You fell asleep? So many people were laughing, how could you fall asleep?"
"Can't I have good sleep quality?"
"Bastard!"
Soon, the fans on both sides were arguing. One side said the other was living off past glory, the other said the other only knew how to use awkward jokes.
It was quite lively.
The onlookers also started fanning the flames.
Argue, keep arguing, we won't intervene, we're just here for the drama.
This put the audience who wanted to watch a movie in a difficult spot.
As soon as they asked which movie was good, both sides would aggressively push their own movie.
And then belittle the other's movie.
How were they supposed to watch anything? They could tell both movies seemed pretty good.
On rating websites, both If You Are the One and Detective Chinatown had high scores.
They were incredibly conflicted.
Thinking, maybe they should just watch both?
Originally, Feng Xiaogang's fans were a bit depressed, but a loss is a loss.
Most of the audience chose Detective Chinatown, after all, it had a higher box office.
No one expected Director Feng to pull out his trump card late at night.
