Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 179 179. Regret
Li Puchun also felt terrible.

He had never thought about it, how could it be exposed?
Didn't those two damn theater managers swear before that ordinary people couldn't find it?

Fuck, it’s only a few days ago! ?
Seeing the overwhelming condemnation and support on the Internet, he didn't know what to do! ?
How else can I save it?

Li Puchun locked himself in the hotel, smoking one cigarette after another, his whole face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum shape.

If I had known the stupid bad idea of ​​the producer, it wouldn't have mattered even if the box office was just a little bit close. At least the first move was a sure one.

Now that a good situation has been turned into this, it will not end well!
"Director Li, something happened. I just received a call. The theater organizer in our next city wants to cancel our road show."

At this time, the assistant hurriedly ran in.

When Li Puchun heard this, his body swayed and he felt dizzy.

"Xiba! Why did they cancel it!?" He said in disbelief.

The assistant said with a sad face: "They said that we were involved in the bad behavior of stealing box office. They were too mean and they didn't want to cooperate with us."

“@@#%￥*&!!!”

Li Puchun couldn't help but say something stupid, his chest kept rising and falling with anger.

He couldn't believe that those movie theaters had never done this before, but now, he was the rat that everyone shouted at.

It wasn't over yet. His cell phone also rang at this time. There were several text messages. He picked it up and looked at it. He almost vomited blood. He slammed the table and stood up angrily and yelled:
"Xiba! You want to reduce our film schedule? It's too much, it's really too much!!"

"We have a contract, how dare they!"

The assistant said dejectedly: "They are probably afraid of Chen Li. He actually blocked those two theaters in reverse. Everyone in these theaters is in danger. They are afraid of offending this master."

These words hit the nail on the head and get to the root of the problem.

Of course Li Puchun also knows that a person who contributed tens of billions in global box office last year really does not need to look at the face of capital.

Ordinary directors may make one movie a year, but they may not make money, so they must look at the theaters and beg to be released.

But if you make one movie a month, and each one is a box office hit, sensationalizing the world, and sparking heated discussions, then such a person is capital!It’s the God of Wealth!He has the right to decide who will not share the cake!
Therefore, those theater chains are now eager to step on him so that they can please him!

Li Puchun felt endless regret.

The box office theft incident gradually began to unfold. The two theaters and the producer of Bangzi Movies came out to hold a press conference and publicly apologized to Chenli Film Company and the creative team of the film, and promised not to do it again in the future.

Their attitude was sincere and their tone was humble, hoping that Chen Li could forgive him and there was no need to make such a tense situation. It was all about money.

However, this matter did not receive any response from the person involved, Wang Anrou or Chen Li's company.

Stone sinks into the sea.

They don't seem to care in general.

But the person involved ignored it, but outsiders did not stop so easily.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it down, and the drum was broken and beat by thousands of people, and the public opinion storm became more and more intense.

Some people in the film industry and even many well-known directors also stood up to support Chen Li, expressing their resistance to this behavior of stealing box office and condemning this illegal and immoral behavior.

No one likes their movie to be stolen, so they took this opportunity to show their attitude to the theater chains.

Netizens were even more direct, just yelling and cursing!

In particular, the bib and douyin accounts of the producer of Bangzi Movie were directly scolded for breaching their defenses, and the comment area was quickly closed. However, this move undoubtedly irritated netizens even more.

Don't you stand upright even when you get beaten? !
Most of the troops turned to the artist's account, and even went to the artist's account on an external network to continue to condemn the bombing.

There were also many fans of Chen Li overseas who didn't know what was going on. After hearing about the incident, they joined the bombing team without hesitation.

"Oh my god, we haven't watched Chen Lixin's movie yet, and you guys are using this method!?" "Damn it, I have been paying attention to this movie for a long time, and I am just waiting for it to be released overseas. You guys are so shameless."

"I like Chen Li, but what you do is unkind and disrespectful of your status as a filmmaker."

"Support Chen Li! Boycott Bangzi!"

"Fake Bangzi, do you really think our overseas fan base doesn't exist? You're just stealing culture, but you're also stealing box office?"

"."

Under this vigorous crusade, the box office results were released the next day.

The box office of "My Wolf Girlfriend" shrank by two-thirds, with only 1 million left in a single day.

This is not only the result of the unanimous resistance of netizens, but also the result of theater chains reducing the amount of films they schedule.

And "Return to Youth" was like taking a drug, soaring directly to 3.3 million.

In the next few days, it directly broke through 3.8 million and 4.1 million, all the way to the top.

Stick, Box Film Company.

Li Puchun has brought people back.

Because the layout of the Xia Kingdom has completely collapsed, there is no need to stay at all. If you come in good times, you will be miserable when you leave.

Until they left, the single-day box office of "My Wolf Girl" was only over 1000 million. Waterloo is not enough to describe such a speed.

If it were not for the fact that the release time of imported films is fixed and cannot be released in advance, otherwise many cinemas would withdraw their releases.

At this time, the conference room was filled with gloom and gloom. There was no rebelliousness as before. Everyone was lighting up a cigarette and smoking, as if this could relieve the depression in their hearts.

"Park Bom, please summarize it." The producer said in a low voice.

Lee Puchun said bitterly: "This time, our first movie, well, the current box office is about 11 billion, but the future growth rate is expected to reach the limit of 12 billion."

"In terms of profit, our share of the 12 billion box office is 3%, so we can get about 3.6 million. And the cost of our movie plus the publicity and distribution total 2.5 million Chinese national currency, we can still make a small profit."

His voice became softer and softer, and finally he felt helpless.

It took so much energy, so much ambition, and so much high-profile.In the end, I actually made [-] million, which is not impressive at all.

And the most fatal thing is that this time not only ruined Bangzi’s reputation, but also made the entire recovery plan of Bangzi’s trendy culture aborted.

It’s like a loss to grandma’s house! ! !
After Li Puchun finished speaking, the conference room became quiet, and everyone's face was shrouded in smoke, making it difficult to see their expressions.

Then, a faint voice came.

"Park Chun, someone needs to take responsibility for this incident, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Puchun's face instantly turned pale and bloodless, and his body began to tremble.

He knew that he was going to die.

Even though I had suggested postponing the release from beginning to end, even though my movie still made [-] million.

But it's useless. As a pawn of capital, he doesn't even have the strength to struggle.

At this time, he envied Chen Li extremely.

As a director, you have to do your job without fear of any capital and be free and easy.

Unparalleled in the world.
