Chapter 98

But no one spoke; even Huayi and Xiaoma didn't call.

Both sides definitely knew about this.

But they didn't care; whether to fight or make peace, it was up to you, Qin Yu.

We listen to you.

"We're only at this point?" Qin Yu wasn't the type with a good temper.

He was using this group from Xiangjiang to establish his authority.

If he gave up now, what would happen if someone else came to provoke him later and then just conceded to get away with it?

Keep dreaming.

Letting them off so easily.

In the entertainment industry—no, in any industry—

You can be kind, generous, even selfless.

But the prerequisite is that all your good qualities must have an edge.

Otherwise.

Just wait to be bullied.

Some people just love to push their luck.

"Pack up, we're going to Hangcheng immediately."

"Qin Yu~" Liu Shishi tugged at Qin Yu's sleeve, a hint of worry in her eyes.

The others didn't say anything.

"Shishi, you don't understand; this time I'm killing the chicken to scare the monkey." Qin Yu knew Liu Shishi was very gentle.

He explained a little.

After finishing, he looked at the group.

"We leave in half an hour, Fatty Zhou, book the tickets!"

"No problem. I'll go right away."

"Yes, Director Qin."

"Yes, Director Qin."

"..."

No one argued; whatever Qin Yu did was fine.

They were just the executors.

As for what happens to those people, what does it have to do with us?

They deserve it.

……

Late at night.

Qin Yu and his group had just arrived in Hangcheng.

Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Director Qin is awesome, *Now You See Me* is amazing, damn, it's really spectacular."

"Hehe, I watched it too, you idiots finally recommended a good movie, damn, it's outrageous, awesome!"

"I don't know why, but watching *Now You See Me* always gives me the feeling of watching a Hollywood blockbuster. Is this guy Qin Yu specifically imitating the US?"

"..."

"The person above, do you know how to talk? Is that called imitating? That's learning from the enemy's strengths to defeat them!"

"Exactly, can a scholar's business be called imitating? Uncultured~"

"I agree, even if this movie by Qin Yu were released in Hollywood, it would be a top-tier commercial blockbuster, better than the original!"

"+1"

"+1"

"..."

Netizens supported him one after another, although they knew that Qin Yu must have learned the Hollywood model during editing.

That sense of cinematography was very familiar.

But no one would say it out loud; after all, everyone wants to save face.

You can learn, but you can't say it.

"Alright, seriously, what's there to be afraid of saying? As long as the movie is good, that's all that matters. By the way, the first-day box office is out, let's check it."

"Not yet, will it break the record again this time?"

"Very likely, anyway, it's been a long time since I've seen such a spectacular scene, there were too many people in the cinema!"

"..."

"Alright, alright, it's almost out, let's take a look~!"

"Let me see."

"..."

On the other side, many people in the circle were also paying attention.

The Wang brothers of Huayi were refreshing the website.

"Big brother, is it out?"

"Wait."

"Is it out?"

"Not yet."

"Is it out?"

"Get lost~"

Wang Zhonglei "..."

"It's out!"

"Let me see~"

Wang Zhonglei hurried to the computer.

[May 1st]

[Single-day box office #1, *Now You See Me*, 35 million, cumulative box office 45.9 million]

[Single-day box office #2, *The Four*, 5.6 million, cumulative box office 98.6 million]

[Single-day box office #3, *Youth Regret*, 2 million, cumulative box office 48.5 million]

[...]

[...]

Seeing these numbers, both of them gasped.

35 million!

How is this possible?

It's impossible to have that many screenings; the first-day screening share was less than 70%.

"Big brother~"

"Qin Yu didn't play any tricks; it must be the people at the cinemas below, after all, they want to make money."

Wang Zhonglei understood as soon as he heard this.

This kind of thing isn't rare.

"Big brother, we've made a fortune this time, over 30 million! And it broke the single-day box office record, we're going to be rich!"

Seeing that Qin Yu didn't buy box office, Wang Zhonglei was overjoyed; they had invested quite a bit in this.

If things continue like this, wouldn't they make tens of millions?

"Big brother, I'll go congratulate Qin Yu immediately; we must secure the next movie."

"Go ahead."

Wang Zhongjun nodded.

He was naturally happy to see such a high box office, but the next movie probably wouldn't be so easy.

Breaking the midnight and single-day box office records.

Qin Yu would instantly become the most sought-after person in the entertainment industry. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====

Investors would wave their checks to join Qin Yu's camp.

Although Huayi is a leader, in the face of such huge profits, don't talk about being a leader.

Even Huaying, those people would dare to snatch a piece of meat from it.

Being a leader is nothing.

Wang Zhongjun was right; the moment the box office came out.

The entertainment industry suddenly boiled over.

If the midnight box office had a hint of luck, then the first-day box office definitely wouldn't be a mistake.

Plus, everyone isn't stupid; do you really think they don't go online or do research?

Every entertainment company has its own channels.

*Now You See Me* not only had an amazing box office, but the audience's reviews were also surprisingly consistent.

Exciting and spectacular, not losing to Hollywood blockbusters.

Since that's the case, charge!

Director Qin, our checks are ready, we'll invest in the next movie.

What?

Need to pay a boarding fee?

Pay it!

Enlight, Orange Sky, Wanda, Bona—every company worth mentioning in the entertainment industry was calling Qin Yu to congratulate him.

On the other side.

The internet was the same.

Although Weibo had some friction with Qin Yu before, well, that was tiny.

This time, Weibo also gave Qin Yu some face.

They set up a pop-up.

[Congratulations to Director Qin for his new film *Now You See Me* reaching 35 million on its first day, breaking the domestic single-day box office record.]

Any netizen who clicked in could see it.

The comments below skyrocketed, and everyone was reposting it.

"Damn, 35 million! My god, is domestic film about to rise?"

"Who knows if the box office was bought~"

"..."

"Get lost, you above, you're just jealous, right? Bought? Now everyone's eyes are on Qin Yu, would he dare to buy it?"

"Exactly, don't mind him, look at the second place, I laughed."

"Director Qin was really right, clowns, nearly a sevenfold gap, how did they have the nerve to shout about a 'Dragon and Tiger Fight' back then?"

"I finally understand, Qin Yu didn't want to bother with these people back then, I didn't expect these guys to push their luck, they deserve to be crushed."

"Don't mind them, *The Four* is really average. If you want to see Liu Yifei, you might as well look at her photos."

"..."

"Hehe, you guys don't know, this guy Qin Yu is very bad."

"How so?"

"I'm from Rongcheng~ Today..."

The guy told the whole story of what happened in Rongcheng today.

After reading it, the netizens were stunned and then instantly overjoyed.

They were wondering why *The Four* had over 10 million in box office yesterday, but today it was cut in half.

So it was you, Qin Yu, who did it.

We thought your temper had improved, and you didn't care even when people were pushing their luck and stealing food from your bowl.

Now it seems you didn't care at all, you were just about to break their hands.

"Hey, that's nothing, I've already received the latest news, *The Four* went to Hangcheng, and Qin Yu took everyone there too."

"..."

"Damn, is he going to chase and beat them?"

"A bit ruthless, isn't it?"

"I think it's very normal, *The Four* side attacked first, so what's wrong with Qin Yu fighting back?"

"Exactly, it's deserved, why sympathize with them?"

"Although that's what's said, but..."

Some netizens were kinder and felt Qin Yu was being a bit too cutthroat.

Not very good.

But many netizens felt it was normal; even Confucius said, repay resentment with justice!

Repaying resentment with virtue is what fools do.

However, most netizens were just onlookers; they didn't care that much.

Just watching the fun is enough.

They couldn't wait to rush to Hangcheng to watch the show.

It doesn't matter who lives or dies.

We're only responsible for watching the fun.

In the hotel.

After the box office came out, Qin Yu's phone didn't stop ringing.

"Brother Wang, thank you."

"..."

"Enlight is indeed good, but isn't it a bit early to talk about it now? It's only been released for one day."

"..."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk when we have time."

……

"Director Wu."

"I really like Orange Sky Entertainment."

"..."

"Sure, sure, let's talk more in the future."

……

"Director Yu, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

"..."

"This bit of box office is just luck."

"..."

"Then thank you, Director Yu."

After a while, Qin Yu finally put down the phone.

Many entertainment companies in the circle had called him, seemingly to congratulate him.

But actually, they were all hinting around that they wanted to invest in Qin Yu's next movie.

Qin Yu was drunk.

My movie just came out, and I don't have anything for the next one.

You guys want to invest, are you crazy?

But Qin Yu also knew that these people were very smart.

They understood one truth.

One success might be accidental, but if you succeed twice, it's not just luck.

So what if they invest early?

Even if they lose, they wouldn't care too much.

As long as they bet successfully once, they could make a fortune.

To become a boss in the entertainment industry, everyone is a human spirit. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
