Faced with Tong Chenggang's denial, Lu Yao didn't know what to say or how to say it for a while.

The reason why he discussed a five-fold ratio with Xue Jingshu was because he felt that this goal would definitely not be achieved.

At that time, it is logical to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and ease the father-son relationship with Tong Chenggang.

But I didn't expect Xue Jingshu to change the amount without authorization, and it became three times.

That's not all, Tong Chenggang even changed it again, and it became twice as much.

The most important thing is: he still hasn't gotten rid of his flammable and explosive problem when facing his son, and he even said who loses and who calls his father.

If he is the one who wins, Lu Yao calls him father, which is equivalent to returning to the original point and not suffering a loss.

But just in case,

What if Yao Yi wins?

Could it be that he really let him call his father?

Lu Yao didn't dare to underestimate "Crazy Stone".

In the previous life, it was just a small-budget movie with an investment of only 3 million, but in the end it became a dark horse, winning 23 million at the box office.

It was 2006!

Although it was only a fraction of the 240 million of the No. 1 "Full of Golden Armor" that year, it also ranked among the top ten mainland films in 06.

But what is the lineup of "Full of Golden Armor"?

The great director Zhang Yimou, starring the Asian king Jay Chou!

That appeal is not ordinarily strong!

In contrast, Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Guo Tao and others were not too famous.

There is basically no publicity, and the film schedule is not advantageous.

Even so, they have achieved amazing results and reputation.

......

Back to this world.

Times have changed.

First of all, invest 20 million.

Secondly, although Lu Yao, as a director, is a novice, he is internationally renowned because of his achievements in music, and he is in the limelight for a while.

Even if many people are not optimistic about his strength in movies, they will be curious and want to see for themselves.

Again, due to reputation, support from above, and the gimmick of father-son confrontation, major theaters have changed their minds and increased film scheduling.

Combining these factors, Lu Yao didn't dare to say much, but conservatively estimated that the total box office was between one billion and two billion, which should be possible.

No one can guarantee breaking through 2 billion.

He felt that Tong Chenggang was a little too arbitrary.

"I think it's too arbitrary: two billion is not a very high and unattainable goal, and you just say that I can't reach it even if I die, isn't it too arbitrary?

Also, a small gamble is pleasant, a big gamble hurts the body, it doesn't matter if I lose and call your father, in case you lose, it's ......"

"I'm going to lose? Joke!" Tong Chenggang snorted coldly, "Don't underestimate my vision too much, kid! I have been in the industry for many years, and I have never seen a rookie director whose first movie exceeded one billion!"

You have been in the limelight recently, and many netizens will follow the trend in the early stage to watch your movie to try it, which is normal.

But after the first day, the viewing is over, the reviews are online, and the word-of-mouth is not worthy of the box office, and many viewers who follow the trend will naturally choose to give up!

So, even if the box office is high on the first day, don't be too blindly confident!

I've seen a lot of movies that did a very good job in the early stage of marketing, and the box office exploded on the first day, but the next day it fell off a cliff due to word-of-mouth problems!

So, I'm not going to lose!"

Part of what he said is also true.

The example of the box office falling off a cliff has also been seen in his previous life.

For example, "Zhushen 1", the box office on the first day was 140 million, only 80 million on the second day, 40 million on the third day, and 20 million on the fourth day......

For example, "Sea Fortress", the box office was 70 million on the first day, plummeted to 20 million the next day, and even less than 10 million on the third day......

It is enough to show the influence of word-of-mouth on the follow-up box office.

The box office on the first day was high, on the one hand, the crew invited traffic stars to attract a large number of star fans, and the second was that the early publicity and distribution were very good, which made the audience full of expectations.

Of course, backlash is also very serious.

The poor acting skills of traffic stars exacerbate the problem, the director is not careful about filming, etc., resulting in a huge gap between the audience and angry bad reviews.

I haven't had time to watch it on the first day, and the audience who is about to go to the cinema looks at the ratings and reviews, oh roar, thanks for the drug test, forget it, let's watch the rest!

It's no wonder that the box office doesn't plummet!

But Lu Yao still has to refute.

Because he knows: "Crazy Stone" is not the same as those liars.

Those films can't compare to it.

Its reputation will not be bad!

"I think: "Crazy Stone" will not have a bad reputation, so the box office will not fall off a cliff......"

"Do you think it doesn't work?" Tong Chenggang interrupted him unceremoniously, "You have to think the audience is good!"

“......”

He made so much sense that I was speechless.

Lu Yao said in his heart.

"Okay, okay, since you all have your own opinions, then there's no need to argue - let's see the real chapter at the box office!" Aunt Chen said, "It's okay: whoever loses at that time is not allowed to cheat!"

"Who are you and I Tong?" Tong Chenggang said loudly: "My Tong Chenggang has always been a good talker, and I never break my word!"

"Poof!"

Xue Jingshu suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

The other three immediately focused their eyes on her at the same time.

"What are you laughing at, Jingshu?" Aunt Chen asked strangely.

"Oh, no, I wasn't smiling. ”

Xue Jingshu hurriedly restrained her smile and sat upright.

"You're smiling!" Lu Yao said suspiciously, "I saw it, I heard it! What the hell are you laughing at?"

"Ah...... That's what I'm happy about......"

"What's the happy thing? you're going to give birth to your boyfriend?" Lu Yao felt more and more suspicious about her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xue Jingshu hammered him in shame, and immediately looked at Tong Chenggang.

In an instant, the two of them were in a state of mind.

"I remember the happy thing: my uncle wants to buy me a new car for a million!"

She winked at Tong Chenggang.

Tong Chenggang immediately said: "Yes, yes, it's time to change Jingshu's car!"

The two had a tacit understanding.

The reason why Xue Jingshu laughed was because she remembered that when he told Lu Yao in the hospital that he wanted to sever the relationship between father and son, he had just dropped a million checks, and he turned his head and regretted it, and called her to ask her to steal the check and tear it up.

And when Tong Chenggang saw her smile, he also remembered this.

It's an instant slap in the face!

Fortunately, Xue Jingshu reacted quickly.

And he had to follow up immediately, following her down.

This dispelled the suspicions of Lu Yao and Aunt Chen.

"Anyway, I remember that Jingshu's car was only bought for less than a year, right? Why change it again? It's not that I feel sorry for the money, I just don't think there's a need to waste it. Aunt Chen said.

"Hey, what's the waste? Jingshu is just like my own daughter, what is it if I spend a million to buy her a new car? Is it more than a million? That's just a few tenths of the box office of my movie on the first day!"

"Yo, look at you, a tenth, you're already expecting tens of millions at the box office on the first day?" Aunt Chen said mockingly. Then he turned to Lu Yao, "Xiao Yao, what is the goal you set for yourself on the first day?"

"This brother told me yesterday. Xue Jingshu said, "He said: Set a small goal first, 100 million!"

“......”
