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

Chapter 46 46. Box office battle
"How much, Director Guo?" Liu Hui was still drinking alone and did not see the sudden change in the other party's expression.

But he soon discovered that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.

What, you don’t speak anymore?

Guo Dehai's face changed several times, and he said with some embarrassment: "Tell me over there."

"How much is it, don't wait any longer." Liu Hui frowned as he handed his mother-in-law's money.

Guo Dehai gritted his teeth and said: "Today's single-day box office of "The Ghost Story" is 7900 million."

"!!!"

The audience was silent, and a needle could be heard.

Everyone's eyes were wide open and their mouths were so big. They were stunned on the spot, and then started to stir like boiling water.

"Did I hear it correctly? Real or fake? 7900 million, which is several times higher than yesterday!"

"How is that possible? Did you see it wrong?"

"That's right. I have never seen such a big gap in box office fluctuations. I must have misjudged it or calculated it wrong."

"Haha, I don't believe it. Director Guo must be joking."

"Do you think it's the box office of "Lao Qian"? Chen Li only made over 1000 million yesterday!"

"."

Everyone chattered, but they were shocked in their hearts.

"Are you kidding?" Liu Hui put down his wine glass, his face becoming uncertain.

He didn't believe that a movie that was sentenced to death would advance by leaps and bounds in one day. This was absolutely impossible! !

Guo Dehai's lips were slightly parted, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. He had just verified it repeatedly.

But the answer I got was indeed 7900 million. I didn’t read it and I didn’t remember it wrong.

Liu Hui's face became increasingly ugly, and he was about to have a seizure!

"I understand. This morning, Star Cinema has increased the film's schedule to 40%." Someone below suddenly said.

"Yeah, no wonder the box office suddenly increased so much."

"This is not enough! Xingchen Cinema is just a medium-sized cinema. Even if all the movie schedules are given to the other party, it is impossible to increase the box office so much in one day, unless" Liu Hui seemed to have thought of something, and quickly opened his mobile phone to enter the movie ticketing software.

Sure enough, on the mobile phone screen, all the theaters were showing the damn "Ghost Story"! !

Why is this happening? !When did it happen?

He couldn't believe it and immediately called the theater manager he knew well to see what was going on.

Didn’t you reject them all before?

The other party was a little helpless: "Mr. Liu, we don't want to cooperate with that arrogant guy. You don't even know that when we went to discuss cooperation, he didn't come forward, so he asked Wang Li to send us away, and he only gave us 45% of the share." ,That kind of people"

"Then why are you still cooperating?" Liu Hui tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said through gritted teeth.

"This movie is so popular right now. Who would have trouble with money? You think so, Mr. Liu." The other party said without any secret.

Liu Hui hung up the phone directly, with a ball of anger burning in his heart.

He recalled the scene of being teased when he went to recruit the other party. This damn cockroach couldn't be crushed to death! ?
Liu Hui slammed the wine glass to the ground, stood up angrily, and said to Guo Dehai: "I don't care what method you use, you just can't let that kid get up and step on him. I believe the boss doesn't want to see it either." Liu Wanxin continues to thrive."

"If you do this well, the next movie you will make will be easy to talk about!"

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

The celebration banquet, which was originally a great time for the guests and hosts, was somewhat disappointed by this incident. In the end, the group had to quietly disperse and go home.

Guo Dehai walked out of the hotel, and the slightly cool evening breeze blew on his face, making him sober.

Things that he thought would be easy now have changes, which makes him very depressed. 7900 million, how on earth did he do it?

Guo Dehai sighed, seeing others making money was more uncomfortable than killing him.

He was about to go back and think of a solution, when he happened to see that the theater opposite the hotel had not closed yet. It was a midnight show, and a strange bedroom poster was hanging on the wall outside the theater.

This should be a ghost record, right?
Guo Dehai walked in without hesitation, bought the ticket and entered the screening room.

He wanted to see what magic this movie had, and actually started chasing his movie.

What surprised him was that it was already after twelve o'clock. Usually there were not many people watching such a show. Now at least half of the seats in the screening hall were full, and it was still very lively.

And after he finished watching the movie, he felt even more dazed.

It wasn't until he walked out of the cinema with a face full of shock that he shivered and lit a cigarette, feeling extremely complicated.

"Can a movie still be made like this?"

The rebound in the box office of "The Ghost Story" just means that the audience is becoming enthusiastic.

Such a horror film format that is different from the past brings people an unprecedented sense of immersion and freshness, constantly stimulating the audience's adrenaline and making people excited.

Even if the audience was frightened and turned forward and backward, it still could not stop more curious people from entering the theater to watch.

"I was so scared that I didn't sleep well last night. I kept the light on all night just because I was afraid that something dirty would appear in my bedroom."

"That's awesome. How on earth did Chen Li come up with the idea of ​​filming it in a documentary format? After watching it, I always felt that it was true."

"It's so exciting to see the adrenaline rush!"

"I regret it, but I want to do it again, what should I do?"

"Chen Li is indeed a genius. He always uses the least amount of money to achieve the greatest effect every time!"

"Our film school assigns assignments that directing students must read, and they have to write their thoughts after watching it."

"."

Such a movie, which has achieved both good reputation and box office success, has even reached the rank of 9 points on the movie rating website.

You must know that horror movies have always been hovering below eight points and never surpassed it. This time, not only did it surpass it, it also directly broke through the ceiling and became the highest rated horror movie!
Guo Dehai's "The Broken Hand" dropped to 8.9 points, and the box office has been affected.

This made him a little unhappy. When he thought about Minister Liu's mission, he became angry and directly hired trolls and marketing accounts to start smearing "Ghost Story" and the creative team.

Why is it that this movie has loopholes, poor filming quality, etc., and even casually made the mistake of saying that Chen Li must have plagiarized it from abroad, otherwise how could he have thought of it.

Anyway, that's how competition is, dead Taoist friends are not dead poor Taoists!

These remarks also affected the views of some netizens to some extent, but soon, as the famous film critic Lin Xiyue released a review of "The Ghost Story".

All unfounded smears were swept away in an instant.

"Before I evaluate this movie, I still have to tell you whether this movie is scary or not. There is no doubt that it is scary, and it is also a type of horror that we have never seen before."

“So if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or the like, I still don’t recommend you to watch it!”

"As for why, because this film uses a pseudo-documentary method, which is beyond all our expectations. This shooting style naturally fits well with horror movies, so that people forget that they are watching a movie, but Looking at what happened in reality”

"This shooting style will definitely subvert today's solidified film industry and give people new inspiration. This is the second time that Chen Li has injected new blood into the film industry! I must say it again, Chen Li was born for movies. genius!!"

"As for those who say plagiarism, it's really ridiculous. No matter in the film industry inside or outside, there has never been such an exquisite pseudo-documentary. This is Chen Li's original creation, which is of milestone significance to the film industry."

It can be said that the box office war began after Chen Li's movies were fully launched.

It's like the two sides are competing, frantically grabbing the box office market.

However, when the box office results came out on the third day, Guo Dehai still felt even more gloomy.
