Chapter 323

Angrily cursing those bastards in the theater chains, saying they agreed not to help either side, yet *Detective Chinatown* had 10% more screenings than his own.

The cursing was incredibly nasty.

It was just short of greeting the ancestors of those people in the theater chains.

Seeing this Weibo post, Director Feng's fans were excited and started to counterattack one after another.

Saying Qin Yu didn't win fairly, actually playing dirty.

If *If You Are the One* had 10% more screenings than *Detective Chinatown*, it would definitely win too.

It was incredibly lively.

But Qin Yu's fans weren't pushovers either.

They went straight for Feng Xiaogang's heart.

Who told you not to be able to get on the Spring Festival Gala.

Who told you not to have a good mother.

Who told you to be ugly.

Qin Yu is handsome, if the Spring Festival Gala wants to invite Qin Yu, what can you do?

Blame yourself for not being born well.

This lethality was simply explosive.

It almost broke Feng Xiaogang's defense.

He started arguing directly with Qin Yu's fans, Weibo was a mess.

At the same time, people in the industry naturally saw it, but no one moved.

That's right.

They didn't move, even if they wanted to forward and promote, they would promote both together.

They wouldn't favor one side.

Now the outcome is unpredictable.

Let's just watch the show.

Both are big shots we can't afford to offend.

The next day.

The power of the Spring Festival box office exploded, actually not too many people watched movies on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After all, everyone has to visit relatives and friends.

And some have to return home to pay respects to ancestors.

Incredibly busy.

But after the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was much more relaxed.

Going out together to watch a movie naturally became a very good choice.

And this year's Spring Festival box office was hyped up very hotly, genius director vs. veteran Feng Xiaogang.

Lots of highlights.

The online hype was lively, and many young people also wanted to see how these two movies really were.

If they were really as good as they said.

And so, the cinemas exploded.

Instantly exploded.

"Please give me two tickets for *Detective Chinatown*."

"Sir, the next show is already sold out."

"What about the one after that?"

"There are two tickets left for the one after that, but they aren't sitting together."

"... That's fine, give them to me."

"Beauty, give me two tickets for *Detective Chinatown*."

"Sold out, Miss."

"What about *If You Are the One*?"

"Only one left."

"What kind of cinema are you, how come there are no tickets."

"I'm really sorry, Miss."

"Give me five tickets for *Detective Chinatown* at 7 PM."

"Sorry, sir, it's already been booked out."

"Fuck, what's going on, it's only noon, are you kidding me?"

"Really, sir."

A large wave of audience gathered in the lobby.

The young lady selling tickets was almost dizzy.

Everyone was arguing, all wanting to watch a movie.

But it was really useless, tickets had long been sold out.

"Go find the manager quickly!"

"Manager, you should go take a look, there are too many people, our tickets are simply not enough."

The staff was incredibly anxious.

Almost cried from being cursed at.

"It's useless for you to find me." The manager spread his hands, looking helpless.

"This time it's not like the last *Now You See Me*, we had other screening halls we could use, *Detective Chinatown* and *If You Are the One* have already booked all the screening halls."

"I can't conjure up other screening halls."

To be honest, as a manager, he was also heartbroken watching so many people.

This is all money.

It's a pity that his pot isn't big enough. It can't hold it, simply can't hold it.

Could only watch helplessly.

"Then what should we do? Sister Huang is almost crying from being cursed at, can we sell some standing tickets?"

Hearing this, the manager was a bit tempted, but still shook his head.

"No, the risk of doing that is too great."

As a manager, he's not stupid, opening more screening halls before, that didn't matter.

At worst, just get cursed at.

It's not a matter of principle.

But if you sell standing tickets, that's against the law, if someone reports it, the fire department will be at the door the next day.

At that time, paying a fine would be okay, but if they suspend business for rectification, that would be a disaster.

"Then what should we do?"

"How about applying to squeeze in and open another show?"

Hearing this, the manager's eyes lit up, this could be tried.

"Fine, I'll go ask."

Twenty minutes later.

"Alright everyone, there's another show at midnight, does anyone need to book tickets?"

"Here."

"I need four here."

"And me~"

"..."
