Chapter 116 The movie is finally released

"Brother, what's wrong?" He saw the slight change in Wang Zhongjun's expression just now, and was very curious about what the secretary said.

"The screening rate of "The Richest Tomato" is about 30%." When Wang Zhongjun heard his brother's question, he did not hide it and said it directly.

"What?" Wang Zhonglei exclaimed.

He then continued, "How is that possible? There are so many negative rumors about "The Richest Tomato" flying around the internet, so how come it still has such a high screening rate? Our film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" seemed to have a 30% screening rate a few days before it was released."

Wang Zhonglei couldn't believe that the screening rate of "The Richest Tomato", a movie full of negative news, was exactly the same as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". This was very unscientific.

A big reason for spreading negative information about the other party during the movie release is to make the theater chain worried and reduce the initial filming cost of "The Richest Tomato".

But now the other party’s screening schedule is also 30%. What does this mean?
This shows that "The Richest Tomato" is of very good quality. Even though there are a lot of negative rumors about it online, the theaters are still very optimistic about it.

"This is a big trouble!" Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Are you planning to have previews of 'The Richest Tomato' this year like last year?" Wang Zhongjun asked his brother.

"No... Anyway, I haven't heard of the preview," Wang Zhonglei said uncertainly.

Wang Zhongjun must know more about the company's affairs than Wang Zhonglei. He also hadn't heard about the advance screening of "The Richest Tomato". His previous inquiry was just to confirm with Wang Zhongjun again.

"Since the other party won't preview the film, then we will preview it in advance. Last year we suffered because of their sneak preview, so this year we will let them have a taste of their own medicine," Wang Zhongjun thought about it and made the decision.

"Yang Hao, Yang Hao, what do you think about the director of "The Richest Tomato" who is selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?"

"Yang Hao, Yang Hao, is 'The Richest Tomato' the bad movie that people say it is?"

“This year, The Richest Tomato didn’t have a preview. Is it because the quality is too poor?”

……

There is a lot of negative information flying around on the Internet, but Yang Hao doesn't care much about it. However, it is really annoying to be chased and intercepted by these reporters and paparazzi.

In recent days, wherever Yang Hao went, there was a group of reporters following him, and there were always paparazzi lurking near the company, so Yang Hao didn't dare to go out these days and had to stay at home all the time, causing his lol ranking to drop directly to silver.

"Damn these rip-off reporters," Yang Hao, who had lost his paragraph, could only curse these unscrupulous reporters in his heart.

"Hey! Mr. Yang, do you want to attend the screening of "Yu Zui" tomorrow?"

"Hello! Mr. Yang, Mango TV invites you to attend the New Year's Eve party. Do you want to go?"

"Brother, Nazha misses you so much, can I come to see you?"

……

Due to the siege of this group of paparazzi reporters, Yu Li had to appear on behalf of the screening of "Yu Zui" and the Mango New Year's Eve Gala was directly cancelled.

What hurt Yang Hao the most was that Nazha’s good sister invited him to meet her good sister, but Yang Hao turned it down.

Time passed day by day, and finally it was the Spring Festival, the day when "The Richest Tomato" was released.

Every household puts up spring couplets on their doors and visits relatives on the morning of the first day of the New Year.

After visiting relatives in the morning, many families will choose to go to the cinema to watch a movie in the afternoon.

Zhang Zichuan is from Sichuan and has been working away from home for many years. He finally returned home for the New Year this year and wanted to take his family to a movie. "Honey, what movie should we watch?" The family stood at the entrance of the cinema and watched the preview on the electronic screen of the cinema. The only movies that were about to be played were "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "The Richest Tomato".

"Why don't you go watch "The Richest Tomato"? It's a comedy, starring Shen Teng. It's a good idea for the whole family to watch it during the Spring Festival," Zhang Zichuan suggested.

"No, people on the internet say that 'The Richest Tomato' is a terrible movie made by Yang Hao under the guise of selling dog meat under mutton. If we go to see a terrible movie during the Spring Festival, it is not a good sign for the new year. Let's go see 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons'," Zhang Zichuan's wife directly rejected his suggestion.

"Okay!" Zhang Zichuan, the youngest brother in the family, had no choice but to listen to his wife's advice.

"Please give me three tickets for the movie "The Richest Tomato"," Zhang Zichuan's wife said loudly to the ticket seller.

Zhang Zichuan was dumbfounded by this scene. Didn't they say they were watching "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? How did it become "The Richest Tomato"?
"Wife, you bought the wrong ticket. Didn't you just say you wanted to watch Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons?" Zhang Zichuan pulled his wife's sleeve and whispered in her ear.

I thought my wife would praise me for this reminder, but unexpectedly she rolled her eyes.

He said: "I suddenly changed my mind. What's wrong? Our family will watch "The Richest Tomato" today."

This scene is not an isolated case, it is happening constantly in every city across the country.

Many people originally wanted to watch "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", but when they walked to the cinema, they suddenly wanted to watch "The Richest Tomato" for some reason.

In Huayi Building, Wang Zhonglei rushed into his brother's office again.

"Something is not right," Wang Zhonglei shouted as he opened the office door.

Fortunately, Wang Zhongjun did not drink the tea this time, so the incident of tea spilling all over his pants did not happen again.

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?" Wang Zhongjun asked in confusion.

"According to the feedback from people we arranged near the cinema, the attendance rate of our film Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was very low and not many people watched it," said Wang Zhonglei, breathing heavily because of jogging all the way.

"What? Wasn't the preview of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons very good before? Why did this happen?" Upon hearing what his brother said, Wang Zhongjun stood up suddenly and asked in surprise.

"I don't know, brother," Wang Zhonglei was also very anxious at this time.

You have to know that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released with a guaranteed release from Huayi. If it really loses money, you will have to pay for it with your own money.

"Let's go to the cinema and see what's going on?" After saying this, Wang Zhongjun ran out in a hurry.

"Brother, slow down, let me get the mask and hat."
-
In the cinema's screening room, "The Richest Tomato" was showing at that moment.

“Hahahaha…”, a series of laughter continued to be heard in the screening room, one after another, almost without stopping.

Among those laughing were Wang and Wang Xiao, both wearing masks and hats.

When the movie ended, the two kings, who were laughing, suddenly came to their senses.

The two looked at each other, bewildered.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" Both of them had black question mark expressions on their faces.

Aren't we here to check the attendance of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? How come we contributed two movie tickets to "The Richest Tomato"?
