Chapter 55: The box office breaks 500 million! The tide is turning!
Several middle-aged people sitting opposite Zhang Cheng smashed their mouths, and they always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what Zhang Cheng said.
But if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
"What do you mean, Director Zhang?"
One of them, Wang, who looked a little thin, was probably the leader, and after he spoke, the others stopped talking, and it was obvious that he was the leader.
This Mr. Wang pouted, "We also invested in "Moonlight", the higher the box office of the movie, the happier we are, why did Director Zhang say that we don't want to see "Moonlight" sell at the box office? β
"It's okay to lie to buddy, but don't lie to yourself." Zhang Cheng poured him a cup of tea, "Mr. Wang, Ming people don't say secret words, you can't hide this kind of thing from others if you signed a gambling agreement with Tianfeng Media." β
"How do you know about the 500 million box office we signed in the gambling agreement?! Who told you that? β
Mr. Wang was taken aback, and his eyes swept over the small bosses of the surrounding companies, "Could it be that we are among them...... Out of the ghost? β
But the little bosses all looked at him with blank faces and did not speak.
It's obvious who the inner ghost is.
Mr. Wang was taken aback again, and immediately sighed and explained, "Actually, when Director Zhang first found me, I wanted to reprimand him loudly, but he gave too much......
Seeing that others were puzzled, he explained: "As long as we can prevent the box office of "Moonlight" from exceeding 500 million, then the share after these box offices is all ours. But if it exceeds 500 million, then we will get less. β
"We all know about it, but why would you say yes now?" Someone questioned, "You didn't object to their Tianfeng Media swiping the box office before." β
"That's because there was no clear evidence and no certainty to stop it, so I had to let it go." Mr. Wang explained: "But this time Zhang exported 500,000. β
"It's only 500,000, you say too much?"
The boss questioned, and then immediately explained to Zhang Cheng, "Director Zhang, it's not that I can't believe you, it's just that a few of us want to open our eyes, or understand what the two of you are doing." β
To put it bluntly, I still don't trust Zhang Cheng.
Everyone can sit here and don't think much of Zhang Cheng.
It can't be said that we look down on it, but that everyone stands at a completely unequal angle.
You are a director who is our partner, and strictly speaking, the director is Party B.
But there are only a few directors who have proven themselves, so they are naturally popular.
So they are willing to give Mr. Wang face today to see Zhang Cheng not for cooperation, but to be familiar, which can be regarded as giving face.
In this way, if you want to invest in movies in the future, it will be convenient to find Zhang Cheng.
To put it mildly, they are using Zhang Cheng as a tool for them to make money in the future.
Besides, what is half a million to them?
Then why did Mr. Wang say "I gave too much"?
So there are secrets between them.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Cheng had expected it.
He had seen this kind of thing a lot in his previous life.
When he first went to attract investment, the bosses of those enterprises pretended to be compared one by one, and they didn't look at anyone directly.
Later, he led up, and he also took off, and then he gave them excellent local policies.
For example, how many years to build a factory tax exemption, land can be cheaper, and then they have to build a logistics center and expand the terminal in their local area.
Now he doesn't have to go out to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and the group of business bosses who are in front of him and backwards all rolled over one by one and cried and shouted that they wanted to invest.
Want to invest?
Let's get in line!
Then whoever opens the conditions is good to choose!
It doesn't matter, when they continue to produce high-quality works and make a lot of money in the future, that's when they beg themselves.
Zhang Cheng seems to have gradually found happiness.
It's not just the hardships of not being able to survive at the beginning, but at that time, I just wanted to make a fortune and run.
It's about the joy of getting positive feedback from it.
This is what can really make him "cool".
With a slight smile, he spoke: "500,000 is naturally useful, at least it allows me to get the evidence that Tianfeng Media buys the box office." β
After a pause, he leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Now it's up to you to see if you have the determination and ability...... Go earn the money that's yours.
"Or just give most of the proceeds to Tianfeng Media, it can only be said that you are not capable, no wonder others."
Mr. Wang calmly tasted tea, and the remaining bosses had uncertain faces.
Zhang Cheng said it simply, but they all understood that it was not as simple as making tens of millions more.
This is taking sides......
If they do this, it will basically be equivalent to tearing their faces with Tianfeng Media, and they can only follow Zhang Cheng to the dark in the future.
Seeing that they were still struggling, Zhang Cheng knew it was time to give them some confidence.
So he smiled lightly: "That's it, why don't we make a bet and bet on a dollar?" β
Mr. Wang was curious, "What are you betting on?" β
Zhang Cheng said: "Now the box office of my "Wolf Warrior" is 420 million, and the box office of "Moonlight" is 440 million. According to the speed at which Tianfeng Media buys the box office, the box office will exceed 500 million in three days at most. β
He propped his chin and said lightly: "Then the content of the bet contract is...... Without relying on any means such as brushing the box office, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" surpassed "Moonlight" in three days and exceeded 500 million.
"If it can be realized, you will release the evidence that "Moonlight" bought the box office. If it doesn't come to fruition, then naturally what should you do, you continue to follow Tianfeng Media's ass and eat what they have leftover. What do you think? β
As he spoke, he threw out several pieces of information, which are the evidence of Tianfeng Media's box office.
For example, receipts, invoices, etc.
Invoice?
Oh, you can't evade taxes at the box office!
The bosses glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "It's done!" β
It's almost impossible to do that.
The box office growth of "Wolf Warrior" has actually begun to weaken, but "Moonlight" can still "stabilize" box office growth every day, so the box office that was originally inferior to "Wolf Warrior" can be surpassed.
And even if "Wolf Warrior" breaks out, that day Wind Media can immediately increase its efforts.
To put it bluntly, "Wolf Warrior" has no chance of a box office reversal!
That...... What if?
Even if there is only a 1 in 10 million chance, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" is really reversed......
That Zhang Cheng proved that he can fight against Tianfeng Media by relying on hard power!
So what is there to hesitate about?
They all understand the truth that eggs can't be put in one basket.
And even if they fail, they don't lose, and they will be what happened in the past.
It's not that you can't make money, it's just that you make a lot less.
Seeing that they agreed, the corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth rose slightly, "Then let's cooperate happily." β
Mr. Wang was also a little confused, "Huh? Director Zhang, are you so sure-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone rang.
After connecting, his expression was shocked and then numb.
After a while, he hung up the phone, he silently took out a coin and put it on the table, "Director Zhang, I am willing to lose the bet." β
I'm afraid you already knew that the box office could break 500 million last night! After all, your company could have received yesterday's box office earlier!
Director Zhang, I have to say, you are very despicable now!
But I have to admit it, Director Zhang, you did a good job! You're doing a great job!
"Mr. Wang, what's the situation?" There are other bosses who can't wait to ask.
Mr. Wang glanced at Zhang Cheng, who was smiling lightly, with some horror, and then sighed: "Yesterday's box office statistics just came out, "Moonlight" is still 20 million, and the total box office has reached 460 million. And "Wolf Warrior" rose against the trend, with a single-day box office ...... 80 million, and now the total box office has exceeded 500 million......"
The rest of the bosses opened their mouths and looked at Zhang Cheng in a daze, their eyes were completely like looking at immortals.
Zhang Cheng just smiled and raised his teacup to salute from afar.
He didn't say a word, but it was as if he had said everything.
-----------------
"What?! The single-day box office of "Wolf Warrior" rose against the trend?! The total box office broke 500 million?! No way! When pigs fly! β
In the general manager's office of Tianfeng Media, Wang Shang didn't believe the news reported by the secretary at all.
"It's the real Mr. Wang." The secretary pushed his glasses, "The attendance rate of "Wolf Warrior" is full, many people are brushing twice, three or even four or five, and the official media is now all helping them publicize, plus the popularity of the previous capture incident, many people who didn't watch movies before went to the theater to watch "Wolf Warrior" with their families. β
Wang Shang sat back in a daze, and said coldly after a while: "Increase your efforts, the box office of "Moonlight" must surpass "Wolf Warrior" tomorrow!" β
"I'm afraid it's not going to work, Mr. Wang." The secretary's mobile phone rang, and she looked down at the phone, her face a little embarrassed.
Wang Shang frowned, "Why." β
The secretary explained softly, "The news I just received, the evidence of our buying the box office has been forwarded by dozens of big Vs at the same time, and now it is in the top ten of the hot search......"
"What?!" Wang Shang's eyes widened angrily, "How is this possible?!" β
He hurriedly opened Weibo, and sure enough, the hot search about "Tianfeng Media's "Moonlight" Ghost Box Office Real Hammer" has even rushed to the top five!
"Haha! It's a real hammer! @倩ι£δΌ εͺε°δΈθ―΄θ―! β
"Sure enough! The things that slander others are actually done by yourself! β
"After all, 'I can't do you even if I buy the box office, so you must have bought it too'~~"
"But why is Tianfeng Media so stupid? Do you still keep receipts and invoices? β
"You have to pay taxes to buy the box office! What do you think? β
Wang Shang was stunned and watched the melon-eating carnival of online fans.
The person in charge of the public relations department quickly pushed the door in, "Oh no, Mr. Wang!" It's a big deal! What are we going to do?! β
Wang Shang's eyes were dark, he collapsed on the chair, clutching his chest, unable to say a word.
The secretary's eyes flickered, and he didn't say a word.
Her memory went back to the day when she was asked by Zhang Cheng to meet in private.
"Do you think I can buy it with money or a man's beauty! Less humiliating! β
"Five hundred thousand."
"Deal!"
She wanted to rebuke him loudly, but he gave too much.
