Xiao Zheng's words really aroused public outrage.
Through Bai Wushuang's explanation, it is obvious that the Baicheng Gang wants to help Qin Dong take the lead and help this formation. Even Bai Wushuang hinted it intentionally or unintentionally. But Xiao Zheng made it clear in public that no one could support the movies he wanted to suppress.
Isn't this a clear slap in the face to these Baicheng dudes
So Bai Wushuang was angry. He glanced at Xiao Zheng with a rather unkind look. It's quite suggestive.
Xiao Zheng, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, drinking and not responding to Bai Wushuang's slightly provocative questions.
The atmosphere became solemn bit by bit. Except for Bai Wushuang and a few other Baicheng dudes, they can still remain calm and composed. The other young masters, including Qin Dong, were all restless and didn't know what they were thinking about.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Zheng stood up and said, "I've had enough. Xiaobai, Brother Xiao, thank you for your hospitality. Remember to call me when you go back to the capital."
Bai Wushuang said with a smile: "Is it enough so quickly? I remember Brother Xiao, you have an amazing drinking capacity."
"Already a little dizzy." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "You drink yours, I'll leave first."
Bai Wushuang didn't try to persuade her to stay, she just winked at Ruyu and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, let Ruyu see you off. Anyway, it's okay for her to stay here."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused: "She is a big star walking with me on the road, and it will have a bad impact if she is photographed."
"Even if it was filmed, no one would dare to publish it." Bai Wushuang said with a pun. "In Baicheng, we say one thing and no one dares to say two things."
Xiao Zheng secretly laughed in his heart, originally wanting to refute Bai Wushuang's face in person. Turning his eyes, he saw Ruyu eyes looking at him with a pleading look. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and nodded: "Thank you very much, Brother Xiao. See you later."
Bai Wushuang watched Xiao Zheng leave the box with a half-smile. As soon as the door closed, he said with a gloomy face and a cold voice: "Roe deer, keep an eye on this matter yourself. I really want to know what method this kid can use to prevent this movie from being a hit!"
Qin Dong looked happy, knowing that after this battle, he must have truly entered this circle. As for the success or failure of "Summer Love Song", it is not that important to him.
Even the hatred between him and Xiao Zheng was transferred to the Baicheng Gang. One glory and all glory. If one loses, both will suffer.
Roe Deer lit a cigarette and asked: "Qin Dong. How much investment does this play cost?"
"Including later announcements, the total is less than 50 million."
Although Qin Dong is not an investor, firstly, Li Hao is the leading actor, and secondly, it is all about the industry. Qin Dong can get a rough idea by patting his head.
"According to the box office distribution. If the movie sells 150 million, it will basically be able to make back its money." Roe Deer asked with pursed lips. "How much is the box office now?"
"Less than 70 million." Qin Dong introduced.
As a literary film, it had a box office of 70 million in three days of release. This is definitely a hit. But only experts know that out of these 70 million miles, nearly 40 million were accounted for on the first day. The remaining two days were both less than 20 million. It can be described as a huge dive.
The reason why it was so high on the first day was because of the stars, and it was a fan ticket sales. Going forward, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to earn 10 million a day. Even if the Baicheng Gang managed to hold on to the film, they wouldn't be able to hold on for a month. Otherwise, it would be a serious violation of market rules. Moreover, it was resented by the public, and the gains outweighed the losses.
In other words, the past week has been a prime time to make money at the box office. After this week, the popularity has subsided, and even if the film schedule is still there, the box office will plummet.
"One hundred and fifty million times." Roe Deer looked back at Bai Wushuang. "Then settle on 300 million?"
The entire Baicheng Gang supported a movie and competed with Xiao Zheng. If you just maintain no losses. That was an insult to the Baicheng Gang. Set at 300 million, which is within a reasonable range.
"Yeah." Bai Wushuang nodded and then said. "You guys watch the operation. If it doesn't work, just hit the box office. 300 million is not much. If you increase the popularity, you can basically win it within a week."
Nowadays, the film market is very popular. Movies with a box office of more than ten to two billion are emerging one after another. When the market is hot, capital will definitely pay close attention to it. No matter how rich Bai Wushuang's family background is, he can't ignore the general trend. Therefore, I also have a good understanding of the film market.
"Understood." Roe Deer grinned. "Let him suffer this time and learn a lesson. Otherwise, he will really think that he can do anything."
Just three hundred million. For half of the dandies present, it’s not a big number, just brush them all. What's more, about 40% of the box office share will fall into the hands of investors. Even if no one buys a ticket to watch, the loss will be more than 200 million. This bunch of Baicheng dandies share it equally, and each of them can afford two to thirty million. No matter how you calculate it, this is an undefeated contest.
Everyone sneered, looking forward to Xiao Zheng being defeated.
…
After leaving the club, Xiao Zheng, who had drank two more drinks, was not in a hurry to take a taxi back to the hotel. Although Lao Lin didn't object to him drinking, he obviously didn't like Xiao Zheng's smell of alcohol. He decided to blow some air and sober up before going back.
It's just that he was accompanied by a big star who was well-known in Baicheng. But it made him restrained and did not dare to take the main road.
"Big star. You don't have to follow me. Just go and do what you have to do." Xiao Zheng glanced sideways at Ruyu, who was following cautiously beside him.
He could see that Ruyu was just a pawn of Bai Wushuang's gang. Although he is somewhat famous in the circle, he still cannot escape the fate of being controlled by others. This is the relationship between the actor and the capitalist. Unless it's a big star like Lu Qier who has a horror background. Only then can you do whatever you want.
Just like just now, if Xiao Zheng rejected Bai Wushuang, Ruyu would definitely not get any good results. So he felt soft and took her out.
"I have nothing to do." Ru Yuru, a panicked little rabbit, glanced at Xiao Zheng secretly. Biting his lip. "Boss Bai asked me to follow you..."
Xiao Zhengzheng smiled and said, "Why are you following me?"
"Anything is fine." Ruyu hesitated for a moment and said softly. "I can accompany you back to the hotel..."
This intention could not be more obvious.
Accompanying him back to the hotel means sleeping with him.
Is this the life of rich people
In Yanjing, no one dared to play this trick with Xiao Zheng. But when he arrived in Baicheng, a strange place, he enjoyed such treatment.
I have to say that the life of a rich person is indeed desirable.
You don't even have to exert any effort on your own, a beautiful star will come to your door automatically. It’s no wonder those lustful people are deliberately trying to get into the entertainment industry.
"You really can't accompany me back to the hotel." Xiao Zheng said with a helpless smile.
Hearing this, Ruyu immediately understood the implication of Xiao Zheng's words. Her heart skipped a beat and she whispered, "Then would you like to come and sit at my house?"
Xiao Zheng looked sideways and said, "Going to your house?"
Ruyu nodded lightly and said: "My home is not far from here. It takes a quarter of an hour to get there by car." After a pause, Ruyu gave another plan. "Or we can find another hotel."
