"No." Lu Tingxiao said directly.
"Ah? Why?" Ning Xi was puzzled.
Lu Tingxiao glanced at the girl and said, "I only want to please you."
"…" Ning Xi was stunned at first, and then she let out a "wow", indicating that she had been shot in the heart by an arrow.
Damn, it's too unfair for me to just please you...
Well, she just subconsciously started to make career plans for Lu Tingxiao, but she forgot that this big boss didn't make movies just for the sake of acting.
If the entertainment industry is a game, Ning Xi is the player who works hard to kill monsters and level up, and Lu Tingxiao... is simply a GM (game manager) who is as powerful as the heavens...
…
The next day, the box office data came out, and the box office of "Dream Seekers" had firmly exceeded 500 million.
"I Only Like You" was such a big production and promotion, and it was released two days earlier than "Dream Seekers", but the box office was only over 500 million.
Previously, "I Only Like You" quickly exceeded 300 million and has been growing slowly since then. This was when Zheng Kangde and others spent their own money to buy the box office behind the scenes. However, the box office of "Dream Seekers" went against the current and rose rapidly.
These days, on the surface, the screening rate of "Dream Seekers" in all major cinemas except Huaying is still very low. However, in fact, after seeing the popularity of "Dream Seekers", many cinemas could not help but secretly increase the number of screenings, such as changing the small hall to the large hall, or changing the cold show to the prime show. In this way, on the surface the screening rate remains unchanged, but in fact the number of moviegoers has increased a lot.
At first, because of Zheng Kangde's reasons, they only used this method to secretly increase the number of screenings. But when they tasted the sweetness, when the data of "Dream Seekers" exceeding 500 million came out in the morning, especially when the news came out at the same time that Huaying's turnover soared from the eighth to the first...
Finally, all the cinemas couldn't sit still anymore!
Especially the Wanzhong Cinema, which was previously ranked first, is regretting it so much.
Damn it, just for Zheng Kangde, not only did they get scolded by all the netizens, but they also suffered heavy losses, and Huaying took advantage of the situation and surpassed them. It was such a huge loss!
This time, no matter how much money Zheng Kangde gave, Cui Zhihao would not listen.
"Director Zheng, you've seen the current situation. For you, I'm almost unable to continue my position as general manager. I've done my best anyway! Go check out the reviews online for yourself! I'm not saying that if your film was a little better, it wouldn't have come to this..."
It would have been bad enough that he had cheated himself, but he had also ruined the reputation of their cinema. How could Cui Zhihao not be angry
Zheng Kangde also knew that the current situation was irreversible, so he could only go back with a gloomy face.
He tried his best to suppress the cinema these days, and hired a large number of Internet users to try to change public opinion. However, the more he tried to reverse the situation, the more fiercely netizens retaliated. In the end, it even reached the point where anyone who said a word for "I Only Like You" would be bombarded by everyone...
In addition to the Internet, even mainstream media have joined in!
Almost all the front page headlines are similar to this...
"The King of Sleep returns to create a new myth, and may break the domestic box office record", "The national wife turns into a national male god: Ning Xi, an actor who combines idol and strength", "Take you behind the scenes of "Dream Seekers": making movies down to earth", "The crew of "I Only Like You" bought a lot of water army and was angrily criticized by netizens"...
