Chapter 212

“It hasn’t been many days.”

Liu Yifei’s face stiffened; that’s right, she almost forgot about this, wait, no.

Who agreed to this with you?

It was clearly you.

“I didn’t make this agreement with you, dream on, do you believe I’ll break the thing myself?”

“I really don’t believe it.”

“……Bastard~”

Seeing Liu Yifei’s exasperated look, Qin Yu was much happier.

“I won’t let you succeed.”

“Then let’s see. By the way, remember to dress sexily that day, or maybe just wear the leather jacket.”

Liu Yifei: “……”

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Huang Bo hurriedly brought the computer over.

Then he shouted.

“Director Qin, stop teasing our female lead, come over quickly.”

“Brother Bo~”

Liu Yifei’s little face was flushed red, while the others laughed happily; Liu Yifei and Qin Yu were always stuck together whenever they had nothing to do.

If nothing was going on between them, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.

However, they didn’t care, and even felt that Liu Yifei was quite lucky.

If it weren’t for Qin Yu, with your IQ, you would only become more of a failure in the future.

How could you be as popular as you are now?

Qin Yu didn’t change his expression and walked directly to Huang Bo’s side; soon, the group gathered around like they did yesterday.

Only Wang Zhangdian and the others were missing.

“Director Qin, wait, let me calm down first.”

“That’s right, Director Qin, calm down, if the first-day box office is a success, we can all pop champagne.”

“……”

“Alright, stop playing around.”

Qin Yu rolled his eyes at everyone and then skillfully entered the URL; everyone leaned in.

Eyes wide, staring at the screen.

Not blinking at all.

He clicked refresh gently; perhaps because there were many visitors, they waited for quite a while this time.

Until everyone was getting a little impatient.

The data finally refreshed.

[July 3rd, Saturday]

[Single-day box office first place, *The Matrix*, single-day box office 69.2 million, cumulative box office 93 million]

[Single-day box office second place, *Special Identity*, single-day box office 200, cumulative box office 77.1 million]

[Single-day box office third place……]

“Seventy million~, the first day and midnight combined almost broke 100 million!” Huang Xiaoming said excitedly.

His whole body was trembling.

It didn’t just break the record; if calculated by the general method, the midnight box office should be counted in the first day.

Then it was 93 million, it really almost broke 100 million!!!

“Damn, Director Qin, awesome!”

“Oh, it’s just a little bit off, we should have worked harder.”

“That’s right.”

“……”

Huang Bo looked disappointed; if there were seven million more, it would definitely have caused a sensation.

Although it was already a sensation now, who wouldn’t hope for better?

“Forget it, Brother Bo.”

Liu Yifei said.

“I checked, the screenings are almost at the limit of 180, it’s very hard to break 100 million.”

Hearing this, everyone calmed down a lot.

That’s true; the current limit for domestic single-day box office is about seventy million, it can’t be much more.

“Still a bit of a pity, if the midnight screenings were a bit more, it would have been fine.”

Liao Fan said.

“If there were more, it would definitely have broken 100 million.”

“Indeed!”

“……”

“You guys are really greedy. It’s already enough.”

Qin Yu listened to everyone’s words and didn’t know what to say; do you really think the cinema is my family’s?

I can schedule as many screenings as I want.

Qin Yu was already very satisfied with this box office; as long as it didn’t collapse and kept going, breaking the record wouldn’t be hard.

Don’t forget he still had two opportunities for CCTV promotion.

And when the box office slowly fell, the national team could still enter the market.

“Now that you’ve seen the box office, you guys should go.”

Qin Yu saw that it wasn’t late yet and planned to go to Liu Shishi’s place to play.

To give Liu Shishi a surprise.

“Director Qin, what’s the rush? Let’s go grab a bite.”

“That’s right, Director Qin, let’s go, I’ll treat, that’s fine, right?”

Huang Xiaoming also knew Qin Yu’s persona: Qin the Miser.

Wanting Qin Yu to treat to dinner was absolutely impossible; it was better to do it himself.

Anyway, he was happy today.

“I agree.”

“I agree too, I’m going to post on Weibo to promote it in a while.”

“……”

A group of people said one after another, and Qin Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Just right, his stomach was a bit hungry, eat a little to replenish some energy for the night.

It had been ten days since he saw Liu Shishi; that woman should have recovered quite a bit.

“Fine, let’s go~”

On the other side.

The netizens were naturally overjoyed.

*The Matrix* really didn’t disappoint their expectations and successfully refreshed the domestic single-day box office record.

All that remained was the first-week box office record and the total box office record.

Once achieved, China would finally end the era of being ruled by Hollywood blockbusters.

And start to welcome a new era!!

………………

PS: Third update arrived.

Brothers, asking for support.

Last two days, ten tickets for an extra update.

Six hundred thousand words in one month, the author hasn’t been lazy at all…….

206: Audience’s anger, 3D tickets in short supply, disgusting scalpers, Nazha: Director Qin, I’m not Sister Shishi. ===== CHAPTER 391 =====

“Wow, Director Qin is mighty, refreshed the box office record, seventy million, damn, awesome.” “To be honest, I expected it, damn it, I ran around for half a day today and finally found a cinema in a small county.”

“Honestly, the movie is very good, filmed very well.”

“……”

“Director Qin is great, I’m also very happy that the box office record was refreshed, but the cinema chains went too far, they actually sold scalper tickets.”

“These bastards actually hyped a 3D ticket up to three hundred yuan, that’s robbery.”

“That’s nothing, mine went up to four hundred.”

“……”

Once this was said, many audience members who paid extra for tickets also became angry.

They were the same; they couldn’t buy 3D tickets without paying extra.

If you watch *The Matrix* in a regular hall, it’s far worse than 3D, and everyone isn’t short of those few dozen yuan.

They could only bite the bullet and pay extra to buy them.

“Well said, the way these cinema chains are eating is really ugly; they clearly earn so much money, yet they still play these little tricks, shameless.”

“Well said, damn it, my heart aches watching the movie; if it weren’t for my girlfriend nagging to watch 3D, it would be the same to watch it in a few days.”

“Sue them.”

“That’s right, sue these bastards~”

“……”

Not long after, the scalper tickets for *The Matrix* became a hot topic.

To be honest.

This was actually a good thing for Qin Yu.

When the onlookers saw that there were scalper tickets for a movie, some people who rarely watched movies would also have curiosity.

To a certain extent, it could expand the audience for *The Matrix*.

But for the cinema chains, it was a disaster.

In one day, they received over a thousand complaints.

Some even reported it directly to the authorities.

This terrified the cinema chains; they were also very aggrieved, it really wasn’t our fault.

We didn’t participate in scalper tickets.

How much can that stuff earn?

Cinema chains are in the long-term business, not that short-sighted.

The tickets were all bought by scalpers, and the cinema chains didn’t have a rule that one person could only buy one ticket.

If someone wants to book a hall, it saves time and effort, we can’t refuse, right?

They quickly issued a notice telling everyone that they didn’t participate.

But the netizens didn’t believe it at all, and instead, the complaints kept increasing.

“Mr. Huang, hurry and think of a way, if this continues, we’ll be fined.”

Several vice presidents were incredibly worried.

Who would have thought it would be like this? It was clearly a good time to make money, but someone wanted to mess with them.

If the authorities and the market supervision bureau issued a fine, it wouldn’t be less than a few million.

That’s not even counting the fact that it would be even worse if they were ordered to suspend business for rectification.

“That’s right, we should have listened to Qin Yu and gotten more 3D screens.”

“Old Wang, what’s the use of saying that now? Hindsight.”

“I said it before.”

“You said shit~”

“……”

“Alright~” Mr. Huang of Starry Sky Cinema Chain scolded; damn it, it was already burning their eyebrows.

You guys are still arguing, are you sick?

“How about this, hurry and issue an apology notice, stating that our cinema chain didn’t participate in the scalper ticket matter.”

“……”

“Catch a few examples and send them to pick up the soap.”

“Shift the responsibility first, and then tell the people below for this week that as long as they come to buy *The Matrix* 3D tickets, one person can only buy two.”

“……”

“But what if someone buys repeatedly?”

“Then what can I do? We can only do this. Tell the cinema managers to keep an eye on it; one or two is fine, but if they are selling in large quantities.”

“Or if they are participating, send them all out to be targets, damn bastards!”

Mr. Huang knew that the scalper tickets must have involved their own cinema managers.

If they get caught later, I’ll kill these bastards.

“Alright, Mr. Huang.”

Now they could only do this; several vice presidents hurriedly went down to get busy.

“Xiao Li, send this box of tea to that Mr. Li, let him help out, give us two days of leeway.”

The assistant weighed the tea box in his hand.

He understood immediately.

This weight wasn’t just any tea; who knows what good stuff it was.

“Alright, I’ll go immediately.”

After everyone left, Mr. Huang breathed a sigh of relief, regretting it more and more.

If he had known, he should have listened to Qin Yu; if someone caught them by the pigtail and really suspended Starry Sky Cinema Chain for two days.

Damn it, it could make him die of anger.

However, Mr. Huang’s worry was redundant; other cinema chains didn’t have time to find trouble for him, as they were all dealing with their own affairs.

Starry Sky Cinema Chain was complained about, but were they not complained about?

How could that be?

Hurry and find connections, deal with it first.

……

On the other side, Qin Yu didn’t know that it was so late and the cinema chain bigwigs were still incredibly worried.

He thought they were counting money.

After eating and drinking his fill, he had the hotel staff send him to Liu Shishi’s residential area.

He planned to give Liu Shishi a surprise.

He quietly touched the door, took out the key, and opened the door.

He took a look; the living room light wasn’t on.

However, the bathroom light was still on.

Although he had been drinking and was a bit slow, Qin Yu reacted quickly, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

“This woman should also be preparing to rest after watching the first-day box office, right?”

Qin Yu hurriedly took off his clothes, then gently opened the bathroom door, and saw a graceful figure amidst the swirling mist.

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth; he walked over and hugged her.

Then he whispered in her ear.

“Shishi, I’m here to help you.”

After saying that, Qin Yu started to get busy.

But Nazha in the bathroom was terrified; she had just finished watching the first-day box office with Liu Shishi and was incredibly surprised.

Qin Yu’s *The Matrix* broke the single-day box office record in China.

Nearly seventy million.

Just now she was thinking about what it would be like if she could become the female lead of *The Matrix*.

Women are all imaginative.

That would definitely make her famous overnight, but then she thought about it and was incredibly disappointed.

How could that be? Qin Yu didn’t even choose Liu Shishi, how could he choose her. ===== CHAPTER 392 =====
