Xiao Zheng's words had indeed infuriated everyone.
According to Bai Wushuang's explanation, it was obvious that the White City Gang wanted to help Qin Dong. Even Bai Wushuang had hinted at it. But Xiao Zheng had made it clear in public that no one could support the movie he wanted to suppress.
Wasn't this a slap in the face to the playboys of White City?
So Bai Wushuang was angry. He glanced at Xiao Zheng with an unfriendly look. It seemed like he was arguing with him.
Xiao Zheng acted as if nothing had happened. He kept drinking and didn't respond to Bai Wushuang's provocative question.
The atmosphere became more and more serious. Except for Bai Wushuang and a few other playboys of White City, they could still stay calm. The other playboys, including Qin Dong, were all restless. No one knew what they were thinking about.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Zheng stood up and said, "I've had enough. Little Bai, thank you for your hospitality. Remember to call me when you go to the capital. "
Bai Wushuang put on a fake smile and said, "That's enough? I remember that you can drink a lot, Brother Xiao. "
"I'm a little dizzy," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "You guys drink. I'm leaving now."
Bai Wushuang didn't ask him to stay. He winked at Ruyu and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, let Ruyu see you off. Anyway, she has nothing to do here. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused. "She's a big star. It won't be good if someone takes a picture of her walking with me."
"Even if she does, no one will dare to publish it," Bai Wushuang said with a double meaning. "In White City, if we say one thing, no one will dare to say another."
Xiao Zheng laughed inwardly. He had wanted to refuse Bai Wushuang's offer. But when he turned his head, he saw Ruyu looking at him with pleading eyes. He couldn't bear it, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao. See you later. "
Bai Wushuang watched Xiao Zheng leave the room with a faint smile. As soon as the door was closed, he said coldly with a gloomy face, "Deer. Keep an eye on this matter. I really want to know how this guy can stop the movie from becoming a hit! "
Qin Dong's face lit up with joy. He knew that after this battle, he had truly entered the circle. As for the success or failure of "Summer Love Song", it was not that important to him.
Even the hatred between him and Xiao Zheng had been transferred to the White City Gang. They were bound together for glory. If one was hurt, all would be hurt.
The roe deer lit a cigarette and asked, "Qin Dong. How much investment did you put into this movie? "
"Including the publicity, the total is less than 50 million."
Although Qin Dong was not an investor, Li Hao was the male lead, and it was all related to the industry. Qin Dong could understand the general situation with a pat on his head.
"It will be distributed according to the box office. If the movie sells for 150 million yuan, we can basically break even, "Roe Deer pursed his lips and asked. "What's the box office now?"
"Less than seventy million," Qin Dong introduced.
As an artistic film, it had a box office of 70 million in just three days. This was definitely a big hit. But only the experts knew that these seventy million miles took up nearly forty million miles on the first day. The remaining two days were no more than 20 million. It could be said to be a steep dive.
And the reason why the box office was so high on the first day was also because of the celebrity, which was the box office of the fans. In the future, it would be difficult to make ten million a day. Even if the White City Gang could hold on to the showtimes, it would not be able to hold on for a month. Otherwise, it would be a serious violation of the market rules. And it would also arouse the disgust of the public. The loss outweighed the gain.
In other words, the next week was the prime time for the box office. After this week, the popularity would die down. Even if the showtimes were still there, the box office would plummet.
"One hundred and fifty million." Roe deer looked back at Bai Wushuang. "Then let's set it at three hundred million?"
The entire White City Gang supported a movie and fought against Xiao Zheng. If it was maintained without a loss. That would be an insult to the White City Gang. Setting it at three hundred million was a reasonable range.
"Okay," Bai Wushuang nodded and said. "You guys watch the operation. If it doesn't work, make some box office. Three hundred million is not a lot. Increase the popularity, and we can get it within a week. "
Nowadays, the movie market was very popular. Movies with one or two billion yuan in the box office were emerging one after another. When the market was hot, the capital would definitely pay close attention. No matter how rich Bai Wushuang was, he could not ignore the general trend. Therefore, he had some understanding of the movie market.
"Got it." Roe deer grinned. "Let him suffer a loss this time and learn a lesson. Otherwise, he will really think that he is omnipotent. "
It was only three hundred million. For half of the playboys present, it was not a big number. They could spend all of it. Moreover, about forty percent of the box office would fall into the hands of the investors. Even if no one bought the tickets, they would lose more than two hundred million. The playboys of White City would split the profits evenly, and each of them would pay twenty to thirty million. No matter how they looked at it, it was an undefeatable contest.
Everyone sneered, looking forward to seeing Xiao Zheng suffer a loss.
…
After leaving the club, Xiao Zheng, who had drunk two more glasses, was not in a hurry to take a taxi back to the hotel. Although Elder Lin did not object to his drinking, he obviously did not like the smell of alcohol on Xiao Zheng. He decided to go back after sobering up a little.
However, he was accompanied by a famous superstar in White City. He was restrained and did not dare to walk on the main road.
"Superstar. You don't have to follow me. Go do what you have to do. "Xiao Zheng turned his head and glanced at Ru Yu, who was following him cautiously.
He could see that Ru Yu was just a pawn of Bai Wushuang. Although she had some fame in the circle, she could not escape the fate of being controlled by others. That was the relationship between actors and capitalists. Unless she was a superstar with a terrifying background like Lu Qier. She could do whatever she wanted.
For example, if Xiao Zheng had rejected Bai Wushuang, Ru Yu would not have had a good time. Therefore, his heart softened, and he led her out.
"I have nothing to do." Ru Yu peeked at Xiao Zheng like a frightened rabbit. She bit her lip. "Mr. Bai asked me to follow you …"
Xiao Zheng was amused. "Follow me for what?"
"Anything," Ru Yu said softly after a moment of hesitation. "I can accompany you back to the hotel …"
Her intention could not be more obvious.
Accompanying him back to the hotel was equivalent to sleeping with him.
Was this the life of a rich person?
In Yan Jin, no one dared to play this trick with Xiao Zheng. But in White City, a strange place, he enjoyed this kind of treatment.
He had to admit that the life of a rich person was indeed desirable.
He did not even need to do anything, and beautiful superstars would come to him voluntarily. It was no wonder that those lecherous people deliberately tried to drill into the entertainment industry.
"You really can't accompany me back to the hotel," Xiao Zheng said with a helpless smile.
Ru Yu immediately understood the implication of Xiao Zheng's words. She made up her mind and said in a low voice, "Then … would you like to go to my house?"
Xiao Zheng glanced at her and said, "To your house?"
Ru Yu nodded and said, "My house is not far from here. It will only take a quarter of an hour to get there by car. "After a pause, Ru Yu suggested another plan. "Or … we can find another hotel."
