Chapter 27

What kind of company does business like this?

Distribution is supposed to be a guaranteed profit with no risk, yet you do this.

"Fatty, for someone dying of thirst, money is actually the least valuable thing."

"I heard that two of them are being forced to change their names."

"Think about it, is this still too much?"

"But they might not agree." Zhou Fatty has been in the business for so many years.

Naturally, he understands this principle.

Money can be earned again if it's lost, but if the pot is smashed,

then there is nothing left.

"That depends on whether you know how to paint a pie." Qin Yu looked at Zhou Fatty.

"What if I tell them my goal is to defeat *Rise of the Planet of the Apes*? To trample Hollywood blockbusters firmly underfoot."

"Do you think they will be tempted?"

……

"They aren't stupid."

Zhou Fatty thinks *Flipped* is indeed a good movie.

But it's basically impossible to surpass *Rise of the Planet of the Apes*; after all, there is a pearl of great price ahead.

*Kung Fu Panda* made 600 million, *Transformers* is almost at 1 billion.

Even if we take the smallest figure.

Are there any domestic movies with a box office of 600 million?

There are, but only one.

44 Netizens' shock, found distribution so quickly? Qin Yu declares war!

"They aren't stupid, but as long as the slogan is shouted out, it doesn't matter if they believe it or not."

Zhou Fatty is truly speechless at Qin Yu's words.

That's right.

Perhaps they really don't care.

As long as Qin Yu shouts it loudly enough to make the domestic audience howl.

The goal is achieved.

As for whether it can be surpassed.

We've worked so hard, what more do you want?

Why don't you do it yourselves?

Neither Zhou Fatty nor Bai Lu thinks Qin Yu is doing anything other than shouting slogans.

But only Qin Yu is serious.

*Rise of the Planet of the Apes* had a box office of 200 million in his past life; it's not impossible to surpass.

……

Just one day later, Qin Yu posted on Weibo.

[Thank you all for your concern and support for *Flipped*. The distributor has been found, see you on August 10th!]

[Although the road ahead is rugged and narrow, and perhaps an abyss, I believe the future of Chinese cinema is bright. Let us filmmakers and supporting audiences work together.]

[Go for it!]

Once Qin Yu posted this Weibo, it caused an instant sensation.

Netizens have been paying close attention to the film's progress during this time.

Whether anyone would be willing to distribute this hastily made film of Qin Yu's.

But they didn't expect that in less than two days,

a distributor would be found.

And he even issued a challenge on Weibo again.

Netizens know very well who the "narrow road" and "abyss" refer to.

This guy Qin Yu is truly daring.

"Nothing else to say, see you on August 10th."

"Qin Yu is a real man. A movie ticket is only 30 yuan, the price of a pack of cigarettes. I support him."

"Just because this guy dares to go head-to-head with *Rise of the Planet of the Apes*, I'm watching this movie."

"……"

"Brother Yu is so handsome. I've bought my ticket, please reward me."

"I support him too. I'm inviting my whole class to watch it. Does Brother Yu have any rewards?"

"I don't have much pocket money, but I'll grit my teeth and watch it. Although I heard it's a big flop, seeing Brother Yu makes the ticket price worth it."

"……"

A group of Weibo veterans were drunk at the sight of these brainless female fans.

Can you guys stop talking? You're making us not want to watch it.

Too brain-dead.

But when a Weibo veteran secretly told everyone that Qin Yu's female fans are of high quality,

and speak nicely,

and are all little schoolgirls,

maybe there's a chance for a chance encounter at the cinema.

Now some Weibo veterans couldn't sit still.

High quality, little schoolgirls?

This is a chance to poach Qin Yu's fans.

You bastard, you slept with our goddess, so we have to hit on your female fans no matter what.

"Ahem, I also support Qin Yu. Regardless of anything else, this fearless spirit is worth praising."

"The person above is right. When others didn't dare to stand up, Qin Yu did. Just for this, I support Qin Yu."

"That's right, I'm also a fan of Qin Yu. Which~ what is your fan group number? Please private message me."

"Plus 1, a ten-year fan here uninvited. Quickly private message me, comrade, I can't find the organization."

"Plus 1, I'm also a ten-year fan of Qin Yu."

"Plus 1"

"……"

"……"

A group of onlookers were drunk. You lecherous guys, stop embarrassing yourselves.

To say you're a fan of Qin Yu just for the little schoolgirls, you have no bottom line at all.

Besides, Qin Yu has only been in the industry for two years.

Where did your ten years come from?

Little schoolgirls, don't believe them, they are all anti-fans.

They were bashing Qin Yu before.

I am the true fan who has always liked Qin Yu.

……

With the spontaneous heat from the group of Weibo veterans, female fans, and onlookers,

Qin Yu's Weibo quickly hit the trending list.

And slowly climbed to the headlines.

Although there were many jokes in the comments below, and Weibo veterans hitting on little schoolgirls.

But this heat is real.

It actually saved a lot on promotion for the new film.

But when the entertainment companies in the circle saw it, they were stunned.

What?

They already found a distributor!

Who stole our peaches?

Huayi.

"Hurry and check who is competing with us at Huayi," Wang Zhonglei said, very angry.

Damn it, the duck that was already in our hands flew away.

He didn't care what kind of ghost film Qin Yu was shooting.

He just wanted to borrow the popularity of this guy Qin Yu to wash his own reputation.

"Boss, it's Xiaoma Entertainment!"

Although Wang Zhonglei, as the second-in-command of Huayi, is often criticized,

he is truly a shrewd person.

He immediately saw through the plans of Qin Yu and Xiaoma.

"This Qin Yu is quite shrewd, finding that old guy Liu Feng; with someone to back him up, he might even break even."

On the side, Minister Li's face didn't look too good either.

He was a bit too conceited.

He thought Qin Yu would definitely choose Huayi.

He didn't expect that Qin Yu probably never thought of it that way at all.

"Boss, why don't we use some methods? This kid Qin Yu is going too far."

Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and shook his head.

"No need. This matter might seem small to you, just a film release, but in reality, it's not that simple."

"Perhaps the higher-ups are also watching; using underhanded methods is likely to leave a bad impression on them."

Hearing this, Minister Li also fell silent.

It really is like that; don't look at the fact that the authorities and Huaying haven't made any moves yet.

But for sensitive topics like this,

the authorities will definitely pay attention. The reason they haven't acted yet

is because they feel the impact would be bad.

If they intervene, it will make everyone uncomfortable.

………………

PS: New book uploaded, asking for collections, flowers, tips, update requests, rating votes, and all support!!

I hope friends who like this book will support it, thank you!!

45 Final preparations before the release, Wolong and Fengchu, you go help me handle a big matter!

But Minister Li thought about it carefully.

Even if no company in the entertainment industry is willing to distribute Qin Yu's film,

it will definitely be released on August 10th in the end.

And the premiere screening schedule might not even be too low.

And it won't be Huaying taking action; someone will do it for the authorities.

"Forget it, it's just a casual move. Maybe Qin Yu shot a big piece of trash, and that old guy Liu Feng is treating it like a treasure."

"The boss is right."

……

On the other side, Wang Zhangdian thought the same.

Having his peaches stolen, although a bit depressed,

he wouldn't use underhanded tactics.

If you want to talk about the attitude toward the authorities, the old fox Wang Zhangdian is much clearer than those two brothers at Huayi.

So he just pretended not to know.

Play however you want to play.

Other entertainment companies were just watching the fun.

They didn't have any films being released, so they just watched how Qin Yu would continue this play.

If he sings it well and the film is shot well,

perhaps he can leave a good impression on the higher-ups.

If he fails too miserably,

tsk tsk~

The authorities' face won't look too good either.

By then, it won't just be netizens scolding Qin Yu, "You guy, you bragged so loudly,

but you ended up shooting a pile of dog shit."

I'll be damned!

Even the authorities won't be happy, but they won't take action against you either.

It's just that, in the future, it will be absolutely impossible for you to shoot another film.

They'll change the script until you want to die.

You'll only be able to go sing songs to make quick money.

Don't say, Qin Yu's commotion is actually quite big.

He made the headlines last time, and many netizens on Weibo are prepared to support Qin Yu.

Many, many netizens are also watching from the sidelines.

If the film is passable, they'll go see what kind of film this big scumbag can shoot.

But the production team of *Rise of the Planet of the Apes* didn't take *Flipped* seriously at all.

They even felt that this guy Qin Yu was just trying to piggyback on their fame.

When someone interviewed them during promotion, the bearded director pretended not to hear.

He didn't even mock him.

The bearded one isn't stupid.

Why mock him? To increase his popularity for no reason? I'm not that stupid.

Anyway, I'm a foreigner and don't understand Chinese.

I don't even need to find an excuse.

So, under these strange circumstances, two films were about to be released.

August 9th.

After Qin Yu made all the preparations, he returned to the office.

Not long after,

a sleazy young man and a world-weary middle-aged man walked in.

Both of their expressions were not very good.

Qin Yu, however, was in a good mood, looking at the two of them as if looking at a pair of Wolong and Fengchu.

"Bai Lu, go serve tea to this Feng... oh no, to this Brother Liu and Little Li."

"Okay, boss."

"No need." Brother Liu waved his hand.

Then he looked at Qin Yu and got straight to the point.

"Qin Yu, what do you want? Last time we already helped you get the interview, and you're still coming? Do you really think I don't dare to turn against you?"

That's right, the interview video Qin Yu released last time came from the hands of these two.

It was actually quite good; the two of them did very well.

It hit the headlines in less than three hours.
