Xiao Ming's company originally thought that this situation was an accident. The box office of "Carambola" would be the same as the movie that his company invested in, "Nine Jin Peaches and Eight Jin Shells". However …
Xiao Ming was infuriated when he saw the box office for the next two days. The number of showings in the cinema was decreasing day by day, and the box office was getting lower and lower. On the fourth day, the movie barely broke the 100 million mark, but the number of people shooting had decreased from 38.8%.
11.2%。
On the other hand, "Carambola", which was invested in by Gu Tanfeng's company, was doing very well. Its box office had already exceeded 600 million yuan, and it was getting more and more screenings in cinemas. The author of Nine Catties of Walnuts and Eight Catties of Shells could only look on helplessly.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, the cinema chain called. They said that the box office of 'Nine Kilograms' today will not exceed ten million yuan. Tomorrow, it will only be shown in single digits."
"Tell them to be tolerant for one more day. We will definitely surpass ten million today. "
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll try my best."
Xiao Ming hung up the phone and called in the assistant director, who was in charge of casting. He criticized him angrily, "How did you choose? Didn't they say that the female lead had a lot of fans? Why didn't you convert your fan traffic into money? "
The assistant director also felt strange and said, "Mr. Xiao, I don't know either. She volunteered to be the female lead in this movie. I saw that she had tens of millions of fans, and every comment on her status was hundreds of thousands. Besides, she's trending every day. I've seen the number of comments. "
"So? Now let me ask you, why can't these fans' data be converted into money? What's the use of these comments? I want money! It's the box office! "
The assistant director had a stomach full of anger and hated that female lead even more. Originally, the female lead's surname was Lan, but later on, it was changed to this one. What a bad move. It was a huge loss.
No matter how Nine Catty Peaches and Eight Catty Shells struggled, it showed signs of defeat, and there was nothing it could do to change the situation. After a week at the cinema, it was forced to be taken off the screen.
On the other hand, Gu Tanfeng's company's "Carambola" had increased the number of screenings and its screening time. In the end, it collected 1.1 billion yuan in the box office before it was finally released.
This was also the first movie of the year to break one billion in the box office. Be it the entertainment industry or the web novel industry, there was a kind of reflection on the pursuit of original works and plagiarized works.
Although the box office legend of "Carambola" had something to do with Gu Tanfeng's company, the most important thing was that plagiarized works were no match for original works.
He might as well buy the copyright of an original novel for the same price. It was cheap and safe, and he could also hype it up before it was released. He would respect the original and stay away from plagiarism. He would definitely gain the goodwill of countless passersby.
It could be said that Gu Tanfeng and Wan Qianqian's investment this time had reversed the abnormal aesthetic in the entertainment industry and online literature circles.
When Wan Qianqian and Gu Tanfeng saw the box office results, they celebrated with Lu Yunxue and the others at home.
"Cheers!"
They all had joyful smiles on their faces as they clinked their glasses and downed their drinks in one gulp.
Lu Yunxue said, "Tan Feng, Qianqian. Here, I would like to congratulate you on the great success of this movie. I hope you can keep up the good work and go to a higher level. "
"Thank you, Mom." Wan Qianqian and Gu Tanfeng clinked their glasses with Lu Yunxue.
Wan Xinyi also said, "Mommy, is the apple stolen by the plagiarist gone now?"
Wan Qianqian nodded and said, "Mommy didn't expect that the apple would disappear so quickly. In the future, we will beat him when he is down. He will spit out what he stole in the end. "
"Xin Yi likes this ending!" Wan Xinyi's eyes narrowed into crescents as she smiled. Wan Xinyi thought of the person who copied her work last time. Now she didn't cooperate with him. His current handicraft work was very bad. Last time, he was criticized by his teacher for running out of ideas.
"By the way, Mommy, what do you mean by running out of ideas?"
Wan Qianqian looked at Gu Tanfeng and said, "Tan Feng, why don't you explain this idiom to Xin Yi?"
Gu Tanfeng nodded and began to explain the idiom to Wan Xinyi. Wan Xinyi finally understood and said, "Xin Yi and my brother will not run out of ideas in the future!"
Wan Xinyue could only nod when she heard this. Even if she was eating quietly here, she would still be called out. What could she do about her sister who liked to call out names? She could only spoil her.
After this matter was over, it was time for Wan Qianqian to go to work. Wan Qianqian thought that she hadn't traveled with Wan Xinyi yet. Before going to bed that night, Wan Qianqian said to Gu Tanfeng, "Honey, I'm going to work soon. I want to travel with Xin Yue and Xin Yi for a few days. What do you think?"
"Okay, it's up to you." Gu Tanfeng said.
Wan Qianqian leaned on Gu Tanfeng's chest. Gu Tanfeng's chest was very warm, which made her reluctant to leave. Wan Qianqian's hands were not honest either. She began to touch Gu Tanfeng's waist. Gu Tanfeng had eight abdominal muscles, which felt very good.
Wan Qianqian was so fascinated that she didn't notice that Gu Tanfeng's eyes had changed. Gu Tanfeng held Wan Qianqian's hand and said, "Honey, don't touch me."
"Honey, just be with me." Wan Qianqian said seductively. Gu Tanfeng didn't tolerate Wan Qianqian anymore. He directly pushed Wan Qianqian down on the bed and touched her all over.
Wan Qianqian's plan was beautiful, but the plan could never keep up with the changes. Bu Yao's novel was adapted into a movie, and it was a complete failure. Those diehard fans were so stupid to her at the beginning, and now they had become so terrible.
Bu Yao hated Leng Ge and Gu Tanfeng's company. If they hadn't made Leng Ge's novel into a movie, she would have been successful and reached the peak of her life.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Her novel failed, and she had no value in front of others. Bu Yao was not reconciled. She was ready to regroup and defeat Leng Ge.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Bu Yao went forward and opened the door suspiciously. It turned out to be her ex-boyfriend who had broken up with her long ago. Bu Yao said impatiently, "Qiang Li, what are you doing here?"
Last time, Bu Yao knew that her novel was going to be made into a movie, and she knew that she was going to be popular, so she became more and more displeased with Qiang Li. He was not good-looking and had no money. She didn't have money in the past, so she could make do with Qiang Li.
Bu Yao saw that she was about to reach the peak of her life. The more she looked at Qiang Li, the more she felt that he was not good enough for her, so she proposed to break up with him. They hadn't seen each other for several months. Why did he come to see her at this time?
Qiang Li stepped forward and was full of the smell of alcohol. He said to Bu Yao, "Bu Yao, are you really going to break up with me?"
"Of course I am."
Listening to Bu Yao's careless tone, he thought of the heart-wrenching words she said when he broke up with her. Qiang Li's eyes dimmed, and he directly pushed Bu Yao into the room. He had done a wrong thing.
The next day, the news of Bu Yao's suicide was on the headlines. The editor of the headlines looked at the pictures and said that it was because the movie adaptation of Bu Yao's novel failed, and she was attacked by netizens for plagiarism, so she committed suicide due to depression.
The netizens who were poked and said that they had forced Bu Yao to death were dumbfounded. They were just onlookers. They didn't do anything, and they didn't support or oppose it. They were all said to be murderers?
In this country, the dead were the most important. Leng Ge knew that Bu Yao was dead, but she didn't feel sorry. After all, there was nothing bad between her and Bu Yao.
Many people under Leng Ge's account asked Leng Ge to let Bu Yao go and stop saying that she plagiarized. Leng Ge had mixed feelings. She pretended not to see these words and didn't comment.
However, Xiao Ming's company took the opportunity to clear her name. They spread rumors on the Internet that it was Leng Ge and Gu Tanfeng who forced Bu Yao to death. Some people even dug out Wan Qianqian and said that if Wan Qianqian hadn't turned Leng Ge's novel into a movie, Bu Yao wouldn't have died.
Towards such comments, Wan Qianqian only had one feeling in her heart, and that was that there were thousands of alpacas running past. These people were either Mother Teresa or the Internet Water Army, or they were brainless fans. They could even say such things. How could they not blame the air in the city for not being fresh, so Bu Yao died?
With Gu Tanfeng's approval, Wan Qianqian logged onto Gu Tanfeng's company's official Weibo and posted a status. It was an emoji pack. "Li Shizhen said before: There's no cure for brainless people."
The comments below were happy. The first few comments might have been bought, but they rushed to the front. "A vicious woman like you is the one who's incurable!"
However, most of these onlookers were rational people. The comments under this comment were all supporting Wan Qianqian. "She didn't kill anyone. Why are you guys talking nonsense here?"
"There's no cure for brainless fans."
"You guys are the ones who are really consuming the dead. You keep saying that the dead are the most important. Look at what you guys are doing now. Is it the work of the dead? "
Wan Qianqian was amused. This method of clearing her name still didn't succeed. She didn't know who planned it. They really reaped what they sowed. If they didn't court death, they wouldn't die.
Gu Tanfeng didn't care about Wan Qianqian's responses. Instead, he supported Wan Qianqian's actions. As long as it wasn't illegal, it was fine as long as Wan Qianqian was happy.
On this day, Wan Qianqian picked up Xinyue Wan and Wan Xinyi from school. The three of them talked and laughed along the way.
Suddenly, a man rushed out of the door with a glass bottle in his hand. He looked a little strange. He bluffed at Wan Qianqian and said, "You murderer!" After that, he splashed the liquid in the bottle at Wan Qianqian.
Wan Qianqian smelled the sulfuric acid from afar. She only had time to turn around and protect Xinyue Wan and Wan Xinyi in her arms. She felt a burning pain on her back and could smell the burning smell of clothes.
The people at the school gate were shocked by the man's action. Was there something wrong with him? The man looked at the chaotic situation and was ready to take the opportunity to slip away.
The security guard of the school went forward and caught the man. The other security guards hurriedly called the police and an ambulance.
