Chapter 93: The Ambush Plan: Total Victory
The Spring Festival box-office battle has ended, and Wing Sheng Pictures has won a crushing victory!
As the Spring Festival ticket war drew to a close, Wing Sheng Pictures' three films—*Yunnan Worm Valley*, *Lawyer Lawyer*, and *Justice for All*—claimed staggering box-office takings of 31 million, 26.8 million, and 28 million respectively, dominating the top three spots of the Spring Festival slate!
Meanwhile, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest's films ended in dismal fashion—one barely scraping past 10 million, the other falling short of even 9.8 million—slinking off the stage in defeat.
Wing Sheng's ambush plan: total victory!
Wing Sheng Pictures headquarters, press conference venue.
Xiang Fei, dressed in a sharp suit, walked up to the stage with a smile as camera flashes popped nonstop below.
"Friends from the media, the Spring Festival slate has just wrapped, and Wing Sheng Pictures' three films have achieved solid results. Thank you for the audience's support."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room, then dropped a bombshell—
"In addition, I announce that Wing Sheng Pictures will present an epic blockbuster for all audiences on the Lantern Festival! Please look forward to it!"
The words landed, and the whole room erupted!
"An epic blockbuster? Could it be the long-awaited *Titanic*?"
"Mr. Xiang, could you reveal more details?"
The reporters scribbled furiously, camera flashes flickering nonstop.
Xiang Fei's lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile on his face: "Exactly which film it is, everyone will find out on Lantern Festival day itself. But I can guarantee this film will be the most earth-shattering work in Xiangjiang film history!"
Reporters below immediately raised their hands to ask questions:
"Mr. Xiang, Wing Sheng has already won a crushing victory this Spring Festival, and now you're rolling out an epic blockbuster—does this mean Wing Sheng intends to monopolize the market completely?"
Xiang Fei smiled calmly: "The market always belongs to the audience; we simply offer better choices."
"Mr. Xiang, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest lost out this Spring Festival. What's your take?"
Xiang Fei's expression remained composed: "In business competition, victory and defeat are commonplace. We respect every opponent, but Wing Sheng's goal will always be to make the best films."
The reporters nodded one after another, yet in their hearts they already understood—Wing Sheng had firmly cemented its place in the Xiangjiang film world!
Shaw Brothers Pictures headquarters.
Li Guoming stared at the newspaper headlines of Wing Sheng's box-office triumph, his face darkening.
"That kid from the Xiang family is getting more and more ruthless…"
The assistant asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, what do we do next?"
Li Guoming snorted coldly: "Losing the Spring Festival slate doesn't mean we'll keep losing! Go, contact Hollywood and see if there are any new films we can bring in!"
Meanwhile, in Golden Harvest's office, He Guanchang was equally furrowed with worry.
"An epic blockbuster? Wing Sheng is out to completely crush us…"
He thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "Go, push up Jackie Chan's new film release date! We can't just sit and wait to die!"
Yet everyone knew clearly—in the face of the epic blockbuster Wing Sheng was about to unleash, any counterattack looked pale and feeble.
That evening, Wing Sheng Pictures held a grand victory banquet.
Xiang Qiang raised his glass, thanking all the employees: "The Spring Festival victory belongs to every member of Wing Sheng! Next, the Lantern Festival epic blockbuster will be another tough battle for us, but I believe we can create new glory once again!"
The crowd cheered, the atmosphere electric.
Wang Jing sidled over, grinning: "Ah Fei, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest probably won't be sleeping tonight."
Xiang Fei smiled faintly: "Business competition has always been like this."
Ng Man-tat also walked over, clapping Xiang Fei on the shoulder: "Ah Fei, that move of yours was brutal—three films crushing them in the Spring Festival slate, and now an epic blockbuster on top of it. You're not leaving them any way out!"
Xiang Fei laughed: "Uncle Tat, that's just how the market works—the strong stay strong."
Zhou Huimin stood to one side, watching him tenderly, her eyes full of pride.
After the victory banquet, Xiang Fei stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Wing Sheng Tower, looking down over the Xiangjiang nightscape.
Zhou Huimin walked over and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
Xiang Fei smiled slightly: "I'm thinking the Xiangjiang market is already in hand—next, it's time to march into the mainland."
A flicker of surprise crossed Zhou Huimin's eyes: "The mainland?"
Xiang Fei nodded: "Exactly. The mainland market has enormous potential; in the future it will surely be the world's largest film market."
He turned around, his gaze resolute: "Wing Sheng's goal has never been just Xiangjiang."
Zhou Huimin looked at him and suddenly laughed: "You always think further ahead than anyone else."
Xiang Fei took her hand and said softly: "Because what I want to build isn't just films—it's an era."
Outside the window, the lights of Xiangjiang glittered like a sea of stars.
