Chapter 97

~9 min read 1,640 words

Not listening to their suggestions for the release is one thing.

But they had long told them not to have any friction with Qin Yu.

This group of people didn't take it to heart.

Now look at what happened.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come.

"These two guys~"

"..."

"Alright, everyone go back to rest; we have a roadshow tomorrow."

Qin Xiaozhen stopped Zheng Zhongji.

To be honest, he didn't have that many thoughts now.

He just wanted to recover the cost quickly.

As long as he doesn't lose money, it's fine.

There's still 90 million left, it's not difficult.

There's no need to care about anything else.

The next day.

The May Day holiday arrived.

Many people in China were looking forward to this holiday; they were having a five-day break this time.

Office workers were very happy.

Planning to relax, watch a movie, go shopping, etc.

But when they walked to the cinema, they were stunned.

"Sir, the tickets for *Now You See Me* are really gone; they were booked out in the morning."

The young lady was almost crying; she had said this at least a hundred times.

"Check again, what if someone returns a ticket?"

"I checked, there aren't any!"

"..."

"Sir, there are really no tickets."

"Can I stand and watch? It's not like I'm not paying?"

"Sir, standing tickets are against the rules."

"I won't say anything, who would know? Hurry up."

"..."

Now everyone on the internet is discussing Qin Yu's new movie *Now You See Me*, all good reviews.

If you haven't watched it, you feel a head shorter when bragging online.

How can this be tolerated?

Do I look like someone who lacks those dozens of yuan?

And I heard the movie is no different from Hollywood blockbusters; it's our own domestic blockbuster.

No matter what, I have to support it.

"This, I'll ask the manager!"

"Manager!"

Several young ladies were quickly surrounded by the cinema manager.

"Manager, why don't you come; too many people are watching *Now You See Me*."

"That's right, I demand a raise; I've been scolded so miserably."

"..."

"Didn't we already increase the screening schedule? Why is it still not enough?"

The cinema manager was also stunned; the notice came from above yesterday to increase the screening schedule by 15%.

How come there are no tickets left before the afternoon?

"Who knows, there are too many people."

"That's right, manager, go see for yourself."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

The manager just walked out of the office and saw a large group of young people gathered in the lobby.

Very surprised.

He naturally knew *Now You See Me* was very powerful.

But didn't expect it to be this powerful.

But there's no way now; there's really no trick.

"Manager, I took a look, *The Four* still has four cinema halls; why don't we reduce two?"

"That's right, manager, two are enough."

"..."

"But there are regulations from above."

"Regulations are a fart; earning money is more important. At worst, we'll get scolded."

"That's right, manager, you're really timid; don't you want to earn money?"

"..."

The manager hesitated for a moment, then said firmly.

"Okay, open two more; no one is allowed to say anything about this. I'll double your wages for these two days."

"Alright."

"Manager is awesome."

"Manager, stop drinking tea, come help us."

"I'm coming~"

Seeing that he could earn money, the manager didn't care about his image, rolled up his sleeves, and hurriedly helped everyone check tickets.

The audience in the lobby exploded as soon as they heard there were two more halls.

"Hey, I want two tickets, plus a bucket of popcorn."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

"..."

"I want three tickets, three cups of cola, hurry up."

"Okay, sir."

"..."

"I want ten tickets, connected together."

Hearing this, the guy behind was unhappy; you're buying so many, what are we supposed to do?

"Bastard, you're not allowed to buy so many; are you trying to sell scalper tickets?"

"Exactly, get lost."

"I didn't, we're all classmates together."

"..."

"Students should study hard, watching a movie is a fart, playing with ambition."

"None of your business."

"..."

And this scene was happening all over the country.

Many cinemas didn't care about that; if the screening schedule wasn't enough, we'd add it ourselves.

At worst, I’ll just get a scolding.

They can’t actually fire me, can they?

Besides, the law doesn't punish the masses.

If everyone does it together, the theater chain owners won't be able to do anything.

On the other side, in Rongcheng. Chunxi Road.

Just a few hundred meters apart, one cinema was packed to the brim.

0 ·Seeking flowers0 ·········

While the other looked desolate.

If it weren't for many audience members staying out of respect for the "Fairy Sister" and the "Factory Flower," they might have left long ago.

"Damn it, what is this guy trying to do?"

In a lounge at the cinema, the main cast and investors of *The Four* couldn't hold it in anymore.

They had come to Rongcheng for a roadshow.

It was quite popular at the beginning.

But they didn't expect the second stop to have significantly fewer people.

They hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

But by the third stop, the screening hall wasn't even full.

Now they knew something was wrong, and after asking around, they found out.

The entire crew of *Now You See Me* was following them.

As soon as they found out which cinema was hosting a roadshow, they would immediately hold their own at a nearby theater.

Just a few hundred meters away.

They had been watching them the whole time.

And now, as soon as the audience heard it was Qin Yu, they all ran to the cinema next door.

Not only did the box office not grow, it actually dropped.

"Should we go and warn Qin Yu? This behavior is going too far."

"Exactly, who plays like this?"

"Who's going?" the director asked, looking at the group.

Instantly, everyone went silent.

Only a fool would go; don't let Qin Yu's gentle exterior fool you, his temper is actually quite bad.

He once dared to lash out at over a hundred reporters.

Nearby, Chen Kun and Liu Yifei were just watching the show.

If it weren't for the roadshow requirements in their contracts, they would have left long ago.

It was too embarrassing.

"Forget it, cancel the Rongcheng roadshow and head to Hangcheng immediately. If Qin Yu follows us again, then we'll truly be mortal enemies."

Qin Xiaozhen said angrily.

Many nodded; indeed, if we can't afford to provoke you, can't we at least hide?

If you keep coming after we've already conceded, then it's time to tear off the mask.

Hearing this, Chen Kun and Liu Yifei laughed.

So what if the mask is torn off? Qin Yu is clearly trying to give you all a sound thrashing.

Besides, he doesn't rely on you guys from Xiangjiang to make a living.

What does he have to be afraid of?

At worst, he’ll just give up on that little bit of box office revenue from Xiangjiang.

This group of people is underestimating Qin Yu.

……

"Alright everyone, see you next time."

"..."

"Director Qin, don't go yet, sing another one."

"That's right, Director Qin, what are you afraid of? I'll cover the tickets for the next session."

"Yeah, Director Qin, do another one."

"How about I help you out?"

"..."

"Help my ass," Qin Yu thought to himself.

He had heard that Sichuan girls were spicy, and this time he truly witnessed it.

Not only spicy, but each one was very outgoing.

They took quite a few liberties with him while getting autographs.

Some even winked at him.

Deng Chao and the others were also happy; Rongcheng was a pretty good place.

The girls were truly easy on the eyes.

A bit feisty, but otherwise, everything was great.

……

Just as he returned to the lounge, Qin Yu asked.

"Fatty Zhou, Xiaobai, where are those guys? Which cinema did they run to?"

"They left."

"What do you mean they left?" Hu Ge, Deng Chao, and the others behind were stunned.

What does that mean?

Are they not doing roadshows anymore?

Fatty Zhou looked at Qin Yu with a complex expression; this guy was truly ruthless.

Chasing them down and beating them at every turn.

He heard that the audience for the previous *The Four* roadshow wasn't even full.

They were being hit hard.

"Did they go to Hangcheng early?"

"They just ran off like that?"

"Can they not run, Brother Chao?" Hu Ge rolled his eyes at Chao.

"I heard it's very desolate over there; the theater owners aren't even willing to host them."

Deng Chao "..."

Come to think of it, it's true; usually, when other crews come for roadshows, it's incredibly popular.

Unlike you guys, where the audience runs away as soon as you show up.

It would be a miracle if the theater owners were happy.

………………

PS: Third update is here, a little tired.

Brothers, please support me, the rules for extra updates remain the same.

: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, tips, urgent update tickets, rating tickets, seeking all support!! Nine.

111: Over 30 million on the first day, it exploded! The onlookers are watching the fun, the madness of entertainment companies!

"What do we do now?"

Yang Mi, Cheng Daoming, and the others looked at Qin Yu; *The Four* had clearly conceded.

There's a saying in the circle for this.

If one side concedes, the other side should at least give them some face.

After all, you never know when you'll run into each other.

Everyone is in the same circle.

There's no need to go too far. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
