In more than a dozen other cities across the country, when "Crazy Stone" swept 2.9 million yuan at the box office on the first day of its premiere, Shanghai, a metropolis with a population of nearly 10 million and a leading consumption level, only had a box office of 15,000 yuan on the first day.
What the hell was going on?
And this was the result of the two small cinemas having more than 80% occupancy.
It was easy to imagine how much the fans would suffer if the box office was released to the public.
This was a cruel way to cut off Qin Guan's source of wealth.
Was Qin Guan a sitting duck though?
Of course not.
On the third day of "Crazy Stone"'s release, Qin Guan's Shanghai Fan Guide appeared on the Internet.
This was a map of the cities around Shanghai, with the local cinemas showing at the same time, as well as the public transportation and other modes of travel from Shanghai to these cities.
It included where to eat and drink, whether to stop and rest, and the more exaggerated ones had become a travel guide for the cities around Shanghai.
"Are you still worried about waiting in line for the tickets? Are you still working for the scalpers? Now that the most reputable low-budget movie has officially been released, as a Shanghai local, is it difficult for you to get a ticket? "
"Please open the following guide. You can have a hilarious encounter with Qin Guan while traveling in a relaxed manner."
The map included Suzhou, Wuxi, Jiaxing and even Hangzhou. It was clearly displayed to the netizens in Shanghai.
Qin Guan's announcement of "Crazy Stone"'s box office shocked the netizens all over the country.
Shanghai was such a big city, but there was only one cinema chain showing it. When the cinema chains in other cities saw that the movie was selling so well, they all increased the screening time and number of screenings. Only Shanghai remained unmoved.
What are they doing?
Qin Guan's fans, who had been waiting in line for a whole day in Shanghai, were finally angry.
Whatever ticketing website or ticketing company, they were all useless now, because it refused to let them go. It was just that willful.
Fine! Cinemas are awesome!
If you don't want me here, there will be another place for me!
Therefore, on this weekend, the expressways and national roads leading to the surrounding cities of Shanghai were jammed.
Big posters with Qin Guan's portrait were hanging on the cars.
This was a group that went everywhere to support their idols. If they didn't reveal the purpose of their trip, then what was the purpose of their trip?
Therefore, the road into Shanghai was smooth all the way. The old drivers who passed by could not help but look at the youthful 'mainstays' who were driving in the opposite direction from them and lined up in a line.
Under the accompaniment of the 'Hundred Family Names', the rumbling carriages left a trail of dust behind them.
On this day, the number of people shopping in the downtown area of Shanghai directly decreased by less than half.
Even the broadcasters of the city's news agencies were alerted by the news. They lay prone on the highway, waiting for the returning group to provide them with news material.
The current situation was no longer as simple as entertainment news. It was related to the livelihood of the entire city.
If this kind of thing happened twice more, it was hard to say whether those industries that relied on the support of young people would close down.
Moreover, as more and more people saw Crazy Rock, it was different from any other plot in the past, and it was also liked by the audience who were in the fast food culture.
The plot was tight and dazzling. Throughout the movie, the audience was in high spirits and full of black humor. This made its reputation even more popular on the internet.
Not only young people were attracted by Qin Guan's influence, but also ordinary people who wanted to watch a good movie. They all went to the cinema.
Only a film with a good reputation could keep its box office from falling over time.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia The Curse of the Golden Flower calmed down and increased their support for Chen Kang. By the time Qin Guan turned around, "Crazy Stone" had gone offline with a box office of 48.8 million yuan.
What did that mean?
Qin Guan had invested 4.5 million yuan and received 10 times the box office return. After deducting the fees to the distributors and the investment, Qin Guan had made a net profit of over 10 million yuan.
Qin Guan's title of Fortune Baby had been consolidated once again.
Chen Hong, who was preparing for the first trial of the case, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
So, sometimes there are many ways to support your husband, but some people just have to say that it's for your own good and do things like being a bad teammate.
The news about "The Promise" had gone too far, and what they had done was not right. They knew they were in the wrong, but they still tried their best to defend themselves.
They could have been indifferent, but they had made it worse.
Look, I can't take it back even if I want to now, right?
The Shanghai municipal government was angry, as were the members of the Community Cultural Promotion Committee. The staff at the toll station of the Shanghai Expressway Management Bureau were helpless. The bosses of the major Shanghai cinemas were regretting their decision.
They had to find an outlet to vent their anger.
As a result, Tiancheng Entertainment became obedient. Auntie Chen, who was always jumping around, also went to argue with the Yunnan side.
He had to lose face and say enough good things before he would learn to be obedient.
Fight with Qin Guan?
Forget it.
Good news had to be shared. Zhang Weiping, who was in "Curse of the Golden Flower", and Zhang Yimou, who had been crouching in front of the camera every day to compete with "The Promise", also knew about it.
The whole set was filled with joy, which helped Qin Guan finish the shooting smoothly.
Qin Guan's final scene was full of ups and downs. It was a wonderful scene.
It was a scene of brothers fighting each other, father and son fighting each other, and husband and wife falling out with each other. Jay Chou, who was the worst actor, had nothing to do with it.
Perhaps the director also considered that in this most exciting narration performance scene, adding a raw melon egg to a group of actors was really not very suitable.
Therefore, Jay Chou arranged for the soldiers to appear after all the truth had been revealed, to put on a fight scene.
Now, it was in this small hall that the Emperor's family, who had arrived in splendid attire, began a secret battle that could not be seen.
Qin Guan had been stabbed in the chest. Although he had been saved, he was lying in an armchair due to the loss of blood and serious injuries.
His face was pale, his lips were pale, and he was short of breath. The bandage around his chest was still stained with blood.
No matter how one looked at it, he was forcing himself to attend the most important Chongyang Feast of the year.
