Feng Yi Entertainment's film and television department.
"Is there any news on the box office earnings for the Ring?”
Zhou Qi had asked his assistant about this news countless times this week.
Zhou Qi even suspected that he cared more about the box office situation than Lin Shi himself.
However, what he hoped for was that the Ring would be defeated in Japan. The more defeated, the better!
Ever since Lin Shi posted on his blog last week that the Ring would be shown for free, the number of views of the lonely soul in the mountains began to drop like a cliff.
Lin Shi directly used this kind of attack method that killed 1,000 enemies and suffered 800 losses, leaving Zhou Qi with almost no way to deal with it.
No matter how many fake reviewers they hired, they couldn't make the audience willing to be wronged.
Therefore, Zhou Qi could only hope that the box office and reputation of the Ring would both fail.
In this way, the audience's eyes would naturally return to the lonely souls in the mountains after being disappointed by the Ring.
Even though this remake of the movie had already made Feng Yi several times more money, Zhou Qi's commission was also very high.
But Zhou Qi was not satisfied!
This kind of movie that could make a big deal out of a small movie was not something that could be seen every day. If he encountered it, he had to make good use of it!
What was different from the past was that the assistant finally gave him an affirmative answer.
However, the assistant's expression was a little complicated.
"There's news. This morning, Japan sent over the first week's box office statistics for the Ring.”
"What?"
Zhou Qi was stunned and immediately became impatient.
"Hurry up and tell me, what's the situation?”
" Uh... The first week's box office earnings for the Ring was 700 million yuan, which is equivalent to about 35 million yuan. It's currently the highest box office earnings in Japan..."
"What?"
Zhou Qi suddenly stood up, his face filled with disbelief.
"Are you mistaken? It's just a horror movie. How can it take first place in the box office? Were all the other movies useless?”
The assistant shook his head." This is the content published in the daily newspaper in Japan. It shouldn't be fake. I heard that the Japanese directors who screened at the same time as the Ring are about to go crazy with anger…"
"Bang!"
Zhou Qi was furious and smashed the table hard.
Didn't they say that Lin Shi had run out of talent?
Didn't they say that the midnight bell would definitely fall?
Which bastard said that? You've wasted my life!
However, another thought suddenly arose in Zhou Qi's mind.
Lin Shi, you're indeed very impressive. The Ring of the Midnight actually managed to achieve such a good result.
However, with the number one box office in Japan, are you still willing to let the midnight ring be broadcast for free in China?
The difference in profit between free and paid was not just a little bit! No one had a grudge against money!
I'd like to see how you'll be unable to back down!
……
At this moment, the discussion about the Ring of the Midnight was unprecedentedly hot!
"D * mn, that's awesome! The Ringers had topped the box office in Japan for the same period!”
"F * ck me, is that true?!"
"Too awesome. I have to admit that Lin Shi is really strong!”
"Haha, it's a very comfortable life to be beaten up!”
"I'm already looking forward to it! In a few days, the midnight bell would be released in the country!”
The situation was going well, but something suddenly happened in Japan.
On the second day after the first week's box office was released, several Japanese directors jointly issued a statement denouncing Songzhu's introduction of the Midnight Ring!
They claimed that the Ring was maliciously destroying the market.
The reason why the box office was so high was just to use gimmicks to arouse the curiosity of the audience.
In fact, the Ring was just like the old corpse in the mountain village. They were both bad movies with extremely poor quality. He hoped that the Japanese audience would not be deceived.
What was funny was that the directors who issued this statement were the ones whose works were released at the same time as the Ring and were beaten up.
This statement caused quite a stir in Japan.
A large number of fans of the village corpse and the midnight bell flooded into their social media platform to refute what they said.
There were even several directors who stood up to oppose their statement.
However, these people still had some fan base, so the public opinion of the Midnight Ring in Japan quickly changed subtly.
Some people even started boycotting the Ring.
However, at this moment, Lin Shi posted a post on Songzhu's social media platform in Japan.
There were only a few pictures in the post, which seemed to be the photo on the front page of the script.
The name of each script was clear:
" The Ring 2: Road to Resurrection "
" Ring of the Night 3: Immortality "
" The Ring of Midnight 4: The Great White."
Then, he tagged each of the directors who had released their statements and posted:
"Lin Jun asked our company to apologize to you. Lin Jun also said that if everyone was still dissatisfied with him, he could immediately withdraw from the Japanese film market.
"Moreover, he has a few scripts for movies in his hands. When the time comes, he will entrust our Songzhu Company to produce them.
However, Lin Jun only had one request, and that was that these movies had to be released at the same time as their movies.
He hoped that the directors would think twice before acting.”
This post was sincere, but the threat was obvious.
Then, something ridiculous happened.
After only 15 minutes, the Japanese directors quickly deleted their statements.
He quickly and fluently cowered.
Instantly, the internet burst into laughter.
……
In fact, Lin Shi did not exchange for these movies.
He was just using a fake script to scare them.
However, Lin Shi did not expect these people to be so flexible and cowardly so quickly.
Of course, if they were not convinced, Lin Shi did not mind continuing to shoot the next few movies of the Ring of the Midnight to compete with them.
He opened the system interface. After a week of screening, his distress points had already reached more than 6,000.
The rate of increase had completely surpassed the time when the old corpse of the mountain village was released.
More importantly, the number of viewers for the Ring was much lower than the number of viewers for the Zombie!
As expected, the distress points earned from movies that were screened in theaters were much more impressive.
Lin Shi touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Now that he was so rich, what movie should he exchange for next?
