"However, I can discuss it with Qin Yu to see if he can arrange a good role for Hu Ge in his next movie."

Liu Shishi's face looked a bit unpleasant.

"But I can only help once."

"That works too." Cai Yinong thought this condition was not bad, but seeing Liu Shishi's unpleasant face.

She quickly said.

"Shishi, don't feel aggrieved. Actually, this is what you should do. If you really want to compete, then you have to fight for some things."

"If you don't go, others won't be as concerned about their face as you are."

"..."

………………

PS: The first extra chapter is here, brothers, keep going!

61 Box office tied! Witnessing history! The shock of netizens. (Extra)

"Sometimes men are not only not repulsed by some requests from women, but they are actually very happy."

"Because this can satisfy a man's unique vanity."

Cai Yinong looked at Liu Shishi, looking very serious.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

……

Vanity?

This was the first time Liu Shishi had heard such a theory.

Although it was a bit strange, thinking about it carefully, it actually had some twisted logic.

"Is this what they mean by 'coquettish women have the best fate'?"

"Bingo, Shishi, you have talent."

Liu Shishi didn't speak, but she took Cai Yinong's words to heart today.

Maybe she really should change.

……

After the box office results came out the next day, time seemed to pass very slowly.

So slowly that netizens were a bit impatient, and so slowly that the entertainment industry was also looking forward to it.

So slowly that everyone was waiting for a result.

"Is it out yet? This damn official, with so much money, why is the statistics website so slow?"

"Exactly, how much kickback did these guys take?"

Late at night, some netizens were very anxious; they urgently wanted to know the third-day box office results.

Although from offline reviews, Flipped's ratings were indeed much higher.

But to be honest, many viewers still liked to watch blockbusters in the cinema.

After all, the investment is large, there are many big scenes, and it feels worth the ticket price.

Conversely, for some low-budget movies, they feel it's unnecessary.

At worst, just wait a bit longer.

Wait about twenty days, and pirated versions will come out.

Although the effect is a bit worse.

But the benefit is that you don't have to spend money.

There are actually many such viewers, accounting for a significant proportion.

"Oh, just wait a bit longer, and the gap is still two million; I'm afraid it won't be surpassed today."

"That's right, you guys are too anxious; the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment."

"Pfft, we're not stupid; we know it's probably not going to happen today, we just hope the gap doesn't widen."

"Exactly, do you really think we have no brains?"

"..."

Netizens were arguing on Weibo, and not long after.

A blogger said excitedly:

"It's out, holy crap, you guys go look, Qin Yu is fucking awesome!"

Seeing this, netizens couldn't hold back anymore and quickly went to check.

They didn't forget to curse a couple of times as they left.

"Jerk, you saw it and didn't say anything, 'awesome' your grandpa."

"Exactly, saying only half, your mom gets fucked, jerk!"

"..."

Netizens flocked to the website.

Although there was some lag, they could afford to wait, and the data chart came out soon.

[Box office #1 Rise of the Planet of the Apes, single-day box office 19.1 million, cumulative box office 64.5 million!]

[Box office #2 Flipped, single-day box office 19 million, cumulative box office 56.2 million!]

Seeing these numbers, the audience was surprised once again.

Before, they thought it would take a few days to surpass Rise of the Planet of the Apes, even in single-day box office.

After all, there was still a two-million gap.

But they didn't expect this guy Qin Yu to be so fierce!!

By the third day, the single-day box office had already tied!

With a difference of only 100,000, it was almost non-existent.

This is simply unbelievable.

It rushed too fast.

Netizens hadn't reacted, they couldn't react at all.

"Wow, let me predict, tomorrow, just tomorrow, Flipped's box office will definitely surpass Rise of the Planet of the Apes!"

"..."

"..."

"Predict your hair, it was two million apart yesterday, and today it's almost tied; even the idiot in my village knows it will definitely surpass it tomorrow."

"That's right, is the first poster here to be funny? Let's not talk about that, Flipped's box office is rising."

"And Rise of the Planet of the Apes' single-day box office is falling; if you can't predict this, you're purely stupid."

"..."

Most netizens didn't care about these bizarre remarks.

It was insulting our intelligence.

Many people were just sighing that the day of surpassing came a bit too early.

"Surpassing tomorrow, I'm afraid Rise of the Planet of the Apes won't be able to catch up after that."

"I think so too."

"..."

"Definitely, I have an uncle in the cinema, and he told me that they are reducing the screenings for Rise of the Planet of the Apes again."

"Even though they have so many more screenings than Flipped, the box office is still the same."

"Big loss, it will definitely be surpassed tomorrow."

"..."

"Holy crap, this news is good, is Flipped's occupancy rate high?"

"Very high, anyway, I went to see it twice, and both times it was almost full, with an occupancy rate of over 90%."

"It's about the same here, it's basically full."

"Rongcheng is the same, many people still can't buy tickets!"

"..."

"..."

Netizens shared their joy on the internet.

They seemed very happy to see this situation.

Not long after, the Weibo post about Flipped tying with Rise of the Planet of the Apes in single-day box office on the third day hit the hot search.

Soon it hit the headlines again.

This further stimulated the growth of Flipped's box office.

But this made the bearded director furious.

But he didn't think his movie was bad; that was simply impossible.

He just felt he was unlucky.

Why did his two predecessors encounter some trash movies?

Kung Fu Panda met two blockbusters from China and killed them so refreshingly.

Beating the two Chinese movies until they cried for their parents.

The combined box office of the two movies wasn't even half of the Panda's.

………………

PS: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, tips, urging tickets, rating tickets, seeking all support!!

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

62 The bearded man's anger, the counterattack from Rise of the Planet of the Apes! (Extra)

Transformers was even more refreshing.

The Chinese were scared out of their wits; not a single movie dared to go head-to-head.

It dominated the scene for a month, making a fortune.

Breaking the one-billion mark.

Even converted to USD, it was 150 million!

He originally thought he had hope too, after all, there were two Hollywood blockbusters in front.

Who dares to come?

But he didn't expect a greenhorn to stand out and bring out a movie that was just like a joke.

As a result, this joke of a movie.

Actually tied with him today.

If this isn't bad luck, what is?

Why am I so unlucky to meet a real strong opponent?

"Hey, you guys hurry up and think of a way, I don't want to see that guy named Qin surpass me tomorrow."

"Mr. Smith, this is probably difficult; the cinema chains are already reducing our screenings."

"And your movie..."

The domestic partner hinted.

"My movie is fine, it's just bad luck; my movie has a very good response in Europe."

The partner's mouth twitched.

Bragging, do you really think we don't know? The response in Europe is also average.

"Hurry up, don't forget that you guys also have a share of the profits from this movie."

"This~" The partner was a bit troubled.

This matter is not easy to handle; we can't just bring up old things and say Qin Yu is a scumbag.

I'm afraid it won't have much effect.

This guy played the hero once, and although netizens are very strict with ordinary people.

They are quite tolerant of some geniuses and heroes.

Otherwise, how could the idiom "romantic talent" exist?

"Boss, we can try this method," a small soldier below suggested.

"Flipped has kissing and hugging scenes at the end, and the two are high school students in the play!"

The bearded director was a bit confused when he heard this.

He had seen Flipped and didn't think there was anything to it.

Is it rare for high school students to kiss?

In the US, there are high school students asking for leave to go home to give birth, and even many middle school students go to the hospital for abortions.

What's a kiss?

"Mr. Smith, you may not understand, but the topic of puppy love is a bit sensitive in China."

"Will it affect Qin's box office?"

"Possibly."

"Alright, let's do it."

The bearded man didn't care about anything else, as long as it worked.

Even if this method seemed ridiculous to him.

After the bearded man left, the partner's manager sighed.

"Manager, won't this method work?"

"Xiao Li, you are too young," the manager shook his head, looking at the self-satisfied Xiao Li, wanting to laugh.

"Manager, I think it's quite good, as long as we can hype up the issue of puppy love."

"Many parents will definitely be repulsed."

When the manager heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of mockery.

That's right, if you can hype it up, it will indeed have some impact.

But the problem is, can you hype it up?

This time Qin Yu went head-to-head with Hollywood, and whether from the perspective of the public or the official perspective, he was correct.

With the strengthening of China's national power.

They also hope that their own people can be more competitive, just fight.

What the hell are you afraid of?

It's not like no one is supporting you.

As long as you dare, we will definitely help in secret.

Fighting on home turf, don't you have any advantages???

What a joke, local protection exists in every country.

It's just that they don't dare to do it openly.

If Qin Yu's movie had fatal problems, then bringing it up would be fine.

The authorities wouldn't care.

Caught by someone, nothing to be done.

But for this kind of optional problem, do you really think the authorities don't exist?

Besides, Qin Yu's youth movie is much purer than other youth movies, okay?

There are no pregnancies or abortions.

Other people's movies are still released and make money just the same.

Has anyone said anything?

"Fine, then I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, the manager patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and walked away.

He didn't care anymore; if he had known, he wouldn't have chosen this crappy movie.

Busy for several months, and it won't make much money at all...

All for nothing~

Xiao Li, on the other hand, felt quite happy, thinking he had been entrusted with an important task...

……

On the other side, Qin Yu, who had been on the roadshow for several days, was also a bit tired.

Although there was one person who was quite energetic.

Wanting to eat even in the middle of the night.
