Chapter 194

~5 min read 943 words

You have to know that 90% of the netizens didn't choose "over 900 million" in this lottery.

And they became that lucky 10%.

This probability suddenly increased tenfold.

It would be strange if they weren't happy; that's 10 million, after all.

Very quickly, this group of people started to mock the others.

"La la la la la, time to split the money! 10 million! Someone is going to watch us draw the lottery."

"Oh my, the world is truly unpredictable. Tell me, if I win, should I buy a Cullinan or a Ferrari?"

"..."

"Buy a hammer! It's not 10 million per person; it's 1,000 people getting 10,000 each. With 10,000, you can at most buy a screw!"

"That's fine too, still better than some people who have to watch us draw."

"Brother is right, 10,000 isn't a small amount. For those 998-yuan ladies, I can pick ten at once."

"To the guy above, ten? Do you want to die?"

"It's fine, I don't have to spend my own money anyway; Qin Dao is treating."

"That's right, let's head to the club, Qin Dao is treating."

"I want to go too. I heard the ladies at the club are gentle and have sweet voices."

"As someone who's been there, I can tell you it's true."

"+1"

"+1"

"..."

The group of netizens who could participate in the lottery were having the time of their lives, but the remaining large crowd was jealous to death.

Club ladies, I also want to have long talks with them all night.

But now.

You bastard Qin Yu, give me back my ladies.

"Hmph, isn't it too early to be happy? Who knows if it can even break 900 million."

"That's right, it hasn't even been released yet, has it?"

"..."

"Hehe, go ahead and be jealous. I heard from someone that the bids were in the millions. Do you think the box office won't hit 10 million?"

"Do you really think Hollywood companies are stupid?"

"Exactly. Besides, magic and crime movies were originally imported from Hollywood. If it doesn't hit 10 million, I'll eat sh*t while doing a handstand."

"Well said. When you're about to get hit, stand straight. Remember to be smarter next time."

"Brother is right, these guys can only watch us chat with the ladies."

"..."

"Bastards, you definitely won't win."

"Still better than you guys who don't even have a chance to draw."

"..."

Very soon, the netizens were arguing up a storm under Qin Yu's Weibo.

The heat on Weibo rose rapidly; in less than half an hour, it hit the trending list, and before midnight, it successfully pushed aside the headline about Wang Piku holding a concert.

【Hollywood buys the copyright to Now You See Me for a sky-high price; global release in ten days!】

Once the headline came out, Weibo exploded.

They didn't expect the surprise Qin Yu gave them to go far beyond this.

There was actually an unexpected harvest.

A global release? Is that even possible?

But thinking about it carefully, it really is possible; magic movies are inherently very novel.

Even in Hollywood, there aren't many of them.

And that group of big-nosed people who have nothing better to do love to see novel things.

Most importantly, the quality of Now You See Me is really not bad.

It can rival Hollywood blockbusters.

People in the industry were also stunned when they saw this news.

He really did have a backup plan.

This guy Qin Yu had already contacted Hollywood, wait, no.

How did he contact Hollywood?

Soon, someone gave the answer.

Last year's Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Qin Yu rose to prominence by stepping on a Hollywood blockbuster.

It's normal for Hollywood to give him some face.

Now that the domestic box office is exploding, it's reasonable for Hollywood to be interested.

Soon, many people started asking; they didn't care about losing face or not.

They wanted to ask Qin Yu how much he actually sold it for.

A sky-high price?

This thing is too vague.

The phones at Huayi and Xiaoma Entertainment were ringing off the hook, but they didn't get a single piece of news.

Late at night.

Huayi.

"I don't know!"

"..."

"Why would I lie to you, Wang Zhangdian? I really don't know, damn it."

"..."

"None of your business!"

Wang Wang Zhonglei hung up the phone directly, his face black as coal.

"Big brother, Qin Yu has gone too far. I checked the contract, and we don't get a single cent of the money earned overseas."

"I want to go find him and demand an explanation."

Wang Wang Zhonglei was on the verge of tears; he was actually quite happy when he first saw that Qin Yu had sold the overseas copyright.

He was preparing to go find Qin Yu to split the money.

But he didn't expect Wang Zhongjun to remind him to look at the contract.

Only then did he discover that the contract clearly stated that all overseas revenue belonged to the copyright owner.

It was written clearly in black and white.

"What explanation do you want? Did he lie to you?"

"..."

"Did he force you to invest?"

"..."

Wang Wang Zhonglei's face turned beet red, and he didn't speak.

"Did you lose money on your investment?"

"..."

"But this is still too much, right? Qin Yu planned to sell the overseas copyright from the very beginning, and he didn't reveal a single hint."

"Who does business like this?"

Wang Wang Zhonglei was still very resentful.

PS: Thanks to everyone for the votes, here is the extra update.

Keep going, brothers, there's still time.
