After all,

Red Tiger

had better reviews. Moreover, after the premiere, netizens couldn’t stop praising them.

So of course, Zhang Lun was stressed too!

Right now, he no longer had the arrogant confidence and carefree att.i.tude like before when the movie had yet to premiere. He never ever expected to be forced into such a situation by a teeny Ji Cheng and a mere Lu Man.

Let alone

Fighting Hero

and

Red Tiger

having the same box office, even if

Fighting Hero’s

ticket sales were better than

Red Tiger

although with not a huge difference,

Zhang Lun

would still feel shameful.

“Hurry up!” Zhang Lun urged.

Finally, w.a.n.g Qiu announced, “The first-day sales of Fighting Hero is 295 million yuan!”

At that moment, Zhang Lun instantly let out a sigh of relief. “Not bad, this box office result matches our expectations.”

Before it was released, they estimated the box office to reach around 250 million yuan.

Excited, w.a.n.g Qiu said merrily, “Director Zhang, our box office collection has already broken Greedy Wolf Operation’s box office record!”

Hearing this, Zhang Lun finally felt that a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulder. Satisfied and pleased, he said, “Yes, this box office is not bad.”

The first day box office collection of

Greedy Wolf Operation

was 200 million, and

Fighting Hero

beat it by almost 100 million. Who could still say that

Fighting Hero

was bad?

Greedy Wolf Operation’s total box office was 3 billion yuan. It was the highest-grossing movie of all time among the locally-produced movies. It had naturally become a benchmark in the industry.

This benchmark of 3 billion was just sitting there, waiting for people to cross it.

“If this trend continues, we can definitely beat

Greedy Wolf Operation

‘s total box-office, and make a new record!” w.a.n.g Qiu said excitedly.

“Haha, Director Zhang, right now it really must be such a slap in the face for Lu Man! Didn’t she say that they are on the same starting line, that it’s fair for both parties to compare solely based on box office? Sure, we’ll base it only on box office, and beat her down with the box office!” said the head of the publicity team.

“Haha, she is still too young. She thinks that she is invincible just because she succeeded twice.” w.a.n.g Qiu mocked, “She doesn’t know that it was because she had never met Director Zheng yet. Let this be a good punishment for her. It’s good for her too. She shouldn’t be so full of herself at such a young age. It’s better to lose now, and remember this punishment earlier. It’s Director Zhang who helped her to grow up sooner.”

“Director Zhang, CEO w.a.n.g from United Pictures is here.”

This time,

Fighting Hero’s

biggest investor was United Pictures.

“Hahahaha, Director Zhang, congratulations, congratulations!” CEO w.a.n.g wasn’t in the view but his voice could already be heard.

“No no, please don’t say that first,” Director Zhang said, pretending to be humble. ”

Red Tiger’s

box office still isn’t out yet.”

“Haha, Director Zhang, you’re being too humble.

Fighting Hero

has already beaten

Greedy Wolf Operation’s

record. It’s only a matter of time before it reaches the top.

Red Tiger

probably can’t reach up to our level no matter how hard they try. Don’t a.s.sume that just because

Red Tiger

had decent reviews there would be a lot of people who would actually watch it. The vocal minority are those who already watched it, but most people still haven’t watched it. You and I both know that this might just be one of Lu Man’s publicity stunts. Lu Man is too naive to think that she can attract the audience by stirring up the reviews. However, no matter how strong

Red Tiger

is, they can’t be so strong to compete with you, Director Zhang! In front of actual talent and capability, all her tricks are just a joke.”

“Haha, you’re praising me too much, CEO w.a.n.g, too much.” Director Zhang kept waving his hand, but his face was still smug. He was over the moon upon hearing CEO w.a.n.g’s compliments.

“Director Zhang, why don’t we release the box office now as publicity?” The head of the publicity team suggested.

“CEO w.a.n.g, what do you think?” Zhang Lun asked.

“I think we should.” CEO w.a.n.g nodded.

Therefore, the publicity team immediately released this piece of news.

The netizens blew up. “So high?”
