Chapter 176

"Impossible, don't forget it's not like the last time with Now You See Me, the screenings aren't that high."

"……"

Hearing this, Qin Yu smiled to himself, thinking that everyone was still young.

Calling the theater chains conservative, I think you guys are the ones being conservative.

Entering the website, everyone’s breathing became tense.

Qin Yu didn't care about that and clicked refresh directly.

The website responded very quickly today.

It refreshed instantly.

………………

ps: Three updates delivered.

Asking for support from all you handsome guys.

Ten tickets for an extra update!

[February 21st.]

[Single-day box office ranking first, Detective Chinatown, single-day box office 28.3 million, cumulative box office 38.8 million.]

[Single-day box office ranking second, If You Are the One, single-day box office 23 million, cumulative box office 30.42 million.]

[Single-day box office ranking third, Bloody Battle at General Ridge, single-day box office 600,000, cumulative box office 55.2 million.]

[……]

"Over 28 million, how can it be so much?"

"That's not right, our screenings are only 55%, this is too exaggerated, right?"

"……"

Everyone saw the data and couldn't believe it.

Last year's Spring Festival war movie with 60% screenings only had a single-day box office of less than 20 million.

Tang Tan had fewer screenings than them, yet it actually had so much more.

"Didn't I say it before? The growth of theater chains is one aspect, and the other is the increase in the movie-going population."

"Do you believe that if the theater chains had 25% more, the box office would be even higher?"

"Today, many people who wanted to watch the movie couldn't buy tickets~"

"……"

Everyone didn't object to this point, but thinking about it carefully, it didn't have anything to do with them anyway.

"Director Qin, don't worry about it, we won, we beat Director Feng by five million, let's go, Director Guo is treating, let's celebrate."

"Yeah, Director Qin, don't worry about it for now, let's enjoy ourselves first."

"……"

Everyone also accepted Qin Yu's previous words, but it didn't have much to do with them now.

It was better to enjoy the moment.

And fleece Guo Fan for another meal.

"How about we call it a day, everyone is tired."

Guo Fan was bitter; these guys were not acting like humans, they ate tens of thousands yesterday.

If they ate like this for every roadshow,

my savings from the first half of my life would all be gone because of you guys.

Bastards.

"Director Guo, don't be stingy, why care about such a small amount of money?"

"Exactly, Xu Zhen said yesterday that you have a 2% box office share, you earned 500,000 just today alone."

"Hurry up~"

"……"

"Go to hell, you bald bastard." Guo Fan was almost crying; it was true that there was that much.

But I'm just looking at it now, I don't have it in my hands yet.

Seeing Guo Fan hesitating, Deng Chao and Xiao Yang directly hoisted this guy up and left.

It doesn't matter if you go or not, but you have to pay the bill...

On the other side.

Netizens don't care about the future development of movies.

They only care about today's first-day box office.

They were incredibly happy.

Yesterday couldn't prove much, but the first-day box office was enough to prove the point.

Tang Tan's potential was indeed stronger.

It directly crushed Feng Xiaogang by five million.

This number was really not small.

"To be honest, Director Feng really lost, no surprise, five million, the gap is a bit far."

"That's right, I watched both movies today, both are good films, but Tang Tan is indeed better to watch."

"You can completely treat it as a comedy, of course, you can also treat it as a detective drama, the twists inside are very surprising."

"…｀ ‖…"

"I agree with this point, Tang Tan is indeed very good, very novel, especially the part where Xiao Yang makes the phone call, it's really hilarious."

"I am irreconcilable with evil!!! Laughed to death~"

"……"

"I actually think Zhang Ziyi's dark turn at the end was very powerful, I was startled in the cinema."

"Who says it isn't? It turns out the cold-blooded one was actually Sinuo, damn, Qin Yu's screenwriting ability is truly powerful."

"……"

"I think Brother Chao is also good, seeing him chase Baoqiang only to have Baoqiang kick the stool, and then almost getting trampled to death, it killed me."

"Yes, that scene in the police station was very funny."

"……"

"I still think Can Long is the funniest."

"Xiao Shenyang's wife is so damn funny."

"……"

Netizens who had watched Tang Tan shared their thoughts online, and some netizens who hadn't gone to watch it were truly itching to go.

Is it really that good?

Maybe I should go and try watching it.

On the other side, the discussion about If You Are the One was much less, not that the movie wasn't good.

Actually, the quality was also very high, but just as Wu Ershan said before.

Audiences have already seen a lot of Feng-style comedies, and although there were some new ideas this time,

generally speaking, it didn't escape that framework.

If they hadn't encountered Tang Tan, everyone would definitely have dug deeper.

But encountering Tang Tan, loving the new and loathing the old is human instinct.

In terms of activity, Qin Yu's Tang Tan won completely.

People in the industry also roughly saw it; this time Director Feng should be in dire straits.

It's too difficult.

Tang Tan is really a super good movie, there are many points to dig into.

Just Zhang Ziyi's dark smile alone has over a million views online.

Attracting many, many people to go watch it.

And Xiao Yang, who knew a singer could be so powerful at acting.

Whether in terms of spread or novelty.

Tang Tan won completely.

As expected.

As everyone expected.

The box office for the second day, the third day of the Lunar New Year, was released.

Tang Tan's box office hit a new high, reaching 29.09 million, and the cumulative box office also reached around 67 million.

If You Are the One's box office didn't drop much, at 22.8 million, and the cumulative box office reached 53 million.

The third day of the release.

Tang Tan's box office broke the 30 million mark, with a total box office of 97 million, just a little bit away from the 100 million mark.

If You Are the One's box office was still around 22 million, with a total box office of 80 million.

Although Director Feng still hadn't admitted defeat, feeling that he still had a chance, it had only been three days.

There was still a long time to go.

But by the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the two movies had been released for a week, and the result was basically determined.

The first-week box office for Tang Tan broke the 200 million mark, and the single-day box office for the following four days also fluctuated around 30 million.

The total box office reached 220 million!!!

If You Are the One's drop wasn't large either, both were around 20 million.

The first-week box office also exceeded 15 million, reaching 17.5 million.

Although not low, it could even be said to be very high.

But Feng Xiaogang was still very unhappy.

In the hotel, Feng Xiaogang stayed in his room alone.

Xu Fan walked over slowly.

Seeing Feng Xiaogang sitting on the sofa without moving, she felt a bit of heartache.

She slowly came to his side and said softly.

"Xiaogang, let it go, if you lose, you lose."

"Anyway, there are plenty of people who have lost to Qin Yu, you're not the only one?"

Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment.

He turned his head to look at Xu Fan, his dead eyes full of disbelief.

That look was as if to say.

Are you really comforting me?

Not here to stab me in the heart.

Xu Fan was also a bit awkward and quickly added.

"I mean, if you lose this time, you can come back next time, didn't you lose to Old Zhang before when you filmed 1942?"

"……"

"Xu Fan, why don't you just leave, I don't need your comfort."

Feng Xiaogang suddenly felt that being alone was also quite good.

"Alright, you're annoying, we haven't really lost, you only estimated 300 million for If You Are the One at the beginning."

"Now the first-week box office is almost 200 million, it's not a big problem to reach 400 million after it leaves theaters, and there's even a chance for 500 million."

"You can make a lot of money, why are you looking so miserable?"

These words made Feng Xiaogang feel much better.

That's right.

I didn't lose, who said I lost? If You Are the One only had an investment of 50 million, I can at least earn nearly 100 million.

What about you?

I heard Tang Tan invested 80 million to speed up the process!

If you really compare the return on investment, you, Qin Yu, are not as good as me.

If not, I'll just try a big investment next time.

"｀ ．Eh, Qin Yu updated his Weibo."

Feng Xiaogang’s mood had just gotten better, but hearing about Qin Yu’s Weibo,

he panicked instantly, his face turning very bad.

He was incredibly angry.

This guy isn't here to mock me, is he?

Bastard.

Can't you show some respect? I'm your senior after all.

We could have just talked about it privately.

You even posted on Weibo...

The onlookers thought the same as Feng Xiaogang; seeing Qin Yu update his Weibo, they all crowded around to watch the fun.

Qin Yu isn't planning to collect the debt, is he?

It's only been a week.

But thinking about it, a week seems to be enough.

Now even the most loyal Feng Xiaogang fans don't dare to say they can overtake Qin Yu.

The first week was already a 50 million difference.

I heard the screenings for the second week are still tilting toward Tang Tan.

More importantly, If You Are the One also lost to Tang Tan in ratings.

One is 8.0, the other is 8.7.

Discussion and topic relevance were a complete defeat.

This data and the reality are right in front of them.

Even if Feng Xiaogang hits a reporter again and makes a big news story, it won't work.

The gap is too far.

But when they saw Qin Yu’s Weibo, they were stunned.

He wasn't mocking Feng Xiaogang at all, but was shelling the theater chains.

The title was very eye-catching.

[Theater chains have strangled the future of China's film industry.]

……

[Regarding the box office for this Spring Festival window, I, Qin Yu, am very dissatisfied; as early as half a year ago, I said that with the improvement of people's living standards.]

[Movies will no longer be a luxury item, but will become a daily consumption, but the theater chains have never taken my words to heart.]

[……]

[And it has already been verified in less than half a year; during the Spring Festival window, I saw many, many audience members stuck in cinemas, having to wait because there weren't enough screens, some even waiting for hours.]

[And all of this is the responsibility of the theater chains; the speed of expansion is too slow.]

[Unable to meet the needs of the masses, this is their responsibility; I strongly call on those interested in the film industry to build more theater chains.]

[Compared to the US, our population base is four times theirs, but the number of screens is only half; theater chains are definitely a blue ocean that has yet to be opened.]

[This is an excellent opportunity; since you are unwilling to expand, then leave it to others.]

[…………]

Qin Yu said a lot, all of it pointing toward the theater chains.

For a moment, the entire Weibo exploded.

Netizens who had seen it started to like and repost Qin Yu’s post.

Qin Yu really has a great conscience, he spoke our hearts.

………………
