Chapter 84 Speaking Out Again 2
The fact that a top-tier actor with over 20 million followers personally spoke out about the director of the film "The Terror Live" being Huang Min, who is embroiled in scandals, had a significant effect.
Online.
"I already knew it was him who filmed it, that's why I didn't watch it."
"I really don't know what the people who went to see this movie were thinking, watching a film made by someone like this."
"We firmly oppose 'The Terror Live'."
"It is recommended that the government impose a complete ban on pornography."
......
Originally, the news released by Lin Wan with money was misled by Huang Min. However, with Yang Dong's public statement, some fans who had been somewhat subdued by the super high box office of "The Terror Live" suddenly regained their fighting spirit as if they had found their backbone again.
However, when the daily box office figures for "The Terror Live" came out the next day, these people were dumbfounded. Yesterday was Saturday, and in just one day, the movie had grossed another 40 million at the box office.
In other words, the film's decline halted the previous week's downward trend as Sunday approached.
Another day has arrived.
The daily box office of "The Terror Live" dropped to 30 million. Even with the drop, no one said that the movie's box office was bad. After all, the movie's box office has been declining all the way from a few hundred thousand on the first day, and it has been released for half a month as of yesterday.
Even though "The Storm Riders" grossed over 2 billion yuan in August, its daily box office was only about the same as "The Terror Live." However, after 15 days of release, "The Terror Live" became the third highest-grossing film in August.
Seeing the growing online backlash against Huang Min at home, I just smiled. Similar situations have happened before on Earth. When a male actor who makes a living through patriotism was filming his next movie, the online outcry was much louder than his own. Looking at the comments section, it was mostly netizens posting comments saying they wanted to ruin his career.
Based on this level of hype, that movie should have flopped.
The result was that even after its release, there were still audiences who bought tickets.
Because of the limited subject matter, the box office was not as high as the previous film, but it was still quite good, exceeding 1.4 billion yuan, which not only recovered the investment cost, but also generated a considerable profit.
People who are unwilling to go to the cinema will not watch even the best movies.
Most people who are willing to watch a movie will not refuse to watch it because of online reviews of a particular person.
Especially since it's a movie that has already garnered rave reviews, some netizens might even go to the theater specifically to see it out of curiosity about "what kind of movie Huang Min made."
In particular, Lin Wan had used the tactic of announcing "Terror Live" twice in a row, and the second time it was used on a large scale, so that Yang Dong's subsequent statements could only achieve very little effect.
With the arrival of a new workday, "The Terror Live" only grossed a little over 20 million yuan in a single day. This means that the film, which has been in theaters for sixteen days, has accumulated a total box office of 610 million yuan.
"At most 700 million."
Huang Min said to Su Qing, who was sitting on his sofa.
"That's pretty good."
Su Qing replied.
"After Yang Dong spoke out, Changkong Media remained silent."
Huang Min laughed and said, "I guess dinner that night made Chairman Han angry, but it's okay. After the movie's run ends, just ask Changkong Media's publicity department for the publicity details. If they can't produce them, kick them out. No need to be too subtle. Have you rented the company's office space yet?!"
"Rented"
Su Qing replied, "There's a five-story standalone office building on Guangcheng Road. I took a look. The location isn't too remote, and the surrounding environment is quite nice. The annual rent is two million yuan. It's fully furnished, and you only need to purchase some desks, chairs, and computers to start working."
Dongsheng Film Industry needs to develop.
Renting office space is a must.
These past few days, Su Qing has been busy with these matters. The revenue sharing for "The Terror Live" has not yet been finalized, so Su Qing directly went to the bank in the name of Dongsheng Pictures to apply for a commercial loan of 20 million yuan. Given the situation of this film, the bank's approval was quick, and the loan was approved yesterday. This morning, Su Qing took Wu Han to the owner of this standalone office building to sign a five-year contract.
In addition, Su Qing also gave Wu Han a list of more than a dozen hardworking behind-the-scenes staff members she had observed on the set of "The Terror Live," asking her to contact these people.
As for purchasing office supplies... Su Qing bought them directly from an online brand store, and they should be delivered to the office building tomorrow. The brand store will then send someone to install them.
"What did Zhang Li say?!"
Huang Min asked.
"The application has been submitted, and the court has issued an investigation order. They are currently investigating Wang Zhi's bank statements, equity, real estate, insurance, and investment products. The results should be available in one or two months at most."
Su Qing replied.
If Zhang Li hadn't mentioned it herself, Su Qing would have thought that Wang Zhi, whose fame in the entertainment industry was similar to Huang Min's, wouldn't have much difference in assets. Who knew that although he wasn't a very good actor, he was actually a shrewd investor in private.
He not only invested in several restaurants and tea houses, but also had experience investing in film production. He made a low-budget film with a cost of just over one million yuan, and earned eight or nine million yuan by selling it to a video website.
In addition to these, he also owns three shops and several residences. According to Zhang Li's guess, Wang Zhi must have made a lot of money from the financial products he bought a few years ago.
Knowing all this, Su Qing understood why Lin Wan had taken a liking to Wang Zhi. Besides providing emotional support, he might even be helping her make money. Over time... Subconsciously, Su Qing glanced at the top of her boss's head. His hair was shiny black, but it had a faint green glow.
No matter how well you write.
Even if the painting is quite good.
If it can't be monetized, it's purely a personal hobby. Aside from being more handsome or taller than others, there's really nothing to compare, since people are very realistic.
"What are you looking at above my head for?!"
Noticing Su Qingchao looking at his scalp, Huang Min frowned and asked, "Do you have a lot of dandruff?"
"Your hair is in great condition."
Su Qing replied.
"Aside from being a bit green, even I think it looks good."
Huang Min replied with a smile.
"..."
Su Qing was taken aback, and after a long while, she said, "I can see that you have indeed let go."
You're wrong.
Huang Min corrected, "I haven't let go. I've only forgiven myself. As for Lin Wan, Yang Dong, and those who slandered me back then, I won't let any of them get away with it."
Looking at the time, Huang Min saw it was already 5:30 and said to Su Qing, "Let's go! Since they invited us to dinner, let's go. Remember what I told you last time?"
"Remember"
Su Ding nodded: "Try to eat as much as possible before you try to skip out on the bill."
"Don't slander me like my ex-wife did."
Huang Min picked up his coat and walked out with Su Qing, saying, "I've never said anything so shameless."
