The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

After the screening ended, the word-of-mouth explosion that Jiang Yu expected really happened, but it was slightly different from what he thought. He thought about rave reviews, but in fact, the overwhelming negative reviews almost crushed him to death.

Thinking about it is very happy, but the reality is cruel and shocking.

Jiang Yu hardly closed his eyes the whole night, he was like a patient on the brink of collapse who urgently needed life-saving medicine, frantically flipping through the online movie reviews of "Battle City 2", trying to find some good reviews.

For an excellent movie, finding bad reviews among good reviews is like looking for a needle in a haystack. For "War City 2", which has been labeled as a bad movie by countless industry insiders, movie enthusiasts, and movie fans since the screening ended, I think Finding a good review among the numerous negative reviews is like washing the sand with a big wave.

The few positive reviews are all fans of the hero and heroine of the movie. Although they scored high marks, their words were very sharp. They stepped back without hesitation, saying that their idol's acting skills are perfect, and it is the spicy chicken movie that has delayed their idol!

Jiang Yu's tears were about to come down, his mood was like riding a roller coaster, the difference is that his roller coaster only went down but not up, and fell all the way to the bottom.

He stared at the few good reviews for about 10 minutes, then suddenly picked up the phone and called a navy leader who had worked with him before.

"Is it Sixth Brother? I'm Jiang Yu. That's how I ordered a movie last night. It didn't turn out very well. I want you and your people to help me to get the ratings of the major websites up." Jiang Yu scratched his head irritably and said.

The sixth brother, the leader of the water army on the phone, hesitated, "You mean "War City 2"?"

Before Jiang Yu could reply, Sixth Brother categorically rejected his request.

"If it's that movie, I can't help you with it. Although it's just a screening, the general trend is set. I don't think there's any need to save it."

When Jiang Yu heard this, he became anxious immediately, "Aren't you the leader of the navy? My movie has just been screened, and the number of people who participated in the screening is at most less than 2000. What do you mean? There is no need!"

It's okay if he doesn't mention this, but when he mentions this sixth brother, he just sneered, "Hey, shouldn't you ask yourself this question, why did you ask me?"

"What do you mean!" Jiang Yu was already angry, but when he heard the yin and yang tone of the head of the navy, he immediately exploded and roared angrily.

But who is the leader of the water army? After so many years in the circle, he has seen many people who have worked with him. Let alone Jiang Yu's reputation has been ruined. Gui's end, even when Jiang Yu was at his best, the navy leader was not afraid of him.

"Hey." The head of the navy gave a muffled laugh, and became rude in speaking, "I've seen a good movie and invited professional film critics to participate in the review to promote word-of-mouth, but I haven't seen a bad movie, and I'm doing the same thing. The movie is so bad. , why did you have the nerve to hand over the invitation letter in front of the film critics, didn't you have any ac numbers in mind when you handed it over?"

"In short, you can go to whoever you like for this job, and don't come to me. I don't have this diamond, so I dare not take you to work with porcelain."

After finishing speaking, the leader of the naval army quickly put down the phone without waiting for Jiang Yu to get mad.

Jiang Yu looked at the hung up phone, and all the anger that he had held back for a day erupted in an instant, he could no longer restrain his anger, smashed the phone heavily to the ground, and angrily said: "Dogs look down on people, what is it! "

The mobile phone hit the wall with a muffled sound, and the parts were scattered all over the floor, just like Jiang Yu's heart at this time, although he was able to maintain his composure on the surface, he was actually panicking in his heart.

Pulling back the chair and sitting back in front of the computer desk, Jiang Yu clicked on the source of "War City 2" on his computer again. I don't know if it was because he was affected by the various bad reviews from the navy leader and the outside world. Jiang Yu, who was full of confidence in the movie, watched the movie again after only one day, but felt that something was wrong.

Two hours later, after watching the whole movie, Jiang Yu only felt a splitting headache. At this moment, the door of Jiang Yu's office rang, and the secretary walked in cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Jiang, the peak Mr. Shen is here. Waiting for you at the door."

Ever since he was called to pay debts by the peak boss, Jiang Yu had an instinctive fear of him.That old man is simply a lunatic for money, Jiang Yu is frightened into a cold sweat every time he thinks about the situation in those few days.

Before the film was released, Jiang Yu made a guarantee to the boss of Dingfeng, and he had a lot of good words, not to mention all kinds of guarantees, and Jiang Yu insisted on getting the movie. The boss agrees.

And after a night of fermenting, the word of mouth of "Battle City 2" has completely rotted. At this time, Jiang Yu would know what the peak boss came to him for, no matter how stupid he was.

Hearing the secretary's words, Jiang Yu's first reaction was to run away. He can't be blamed for being cowardly. It's because he has experienced such a dark life of dunning debts, and all the vigor in his heart has been smoothed out.

However, before Jiang Yu could run away, the closed door of the office was pushed open again. This time, it was no longer the secretary who entered the door, but a group of people in black suits, with sunglasses on their faces, expressionless, and dressed like bodyguards. people.

They were surrounded by a man in a leopard print shirt. When that man saw Jiang Yu, he had a friendly smile on his face and waved to Jiang Yu, "Xiao Jiang, long time no see, come and sit down."

Boss Fengfeng sat down in front of the sofa, picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the table, and slowly peeled the apple with a fruit knife. Seeing that Jiang Yu hadn't come for a long time, he looked up at him, and said with a half-smile Said, "What's your expression? Why, don't you welcome me?"

Jiang Yu's legs went limp at this glance, his voice trembled unconsciously, and he forced a smile, "Why, how could it be, brother Shen came to my place too late for me to be happy, where would you not be welcome? Woolen cloth."

Boss Dianfeng smiled at him, moved his stopped hand again, continued to peel the apple, and said in a slightly casual voice, "Xiao Jiang, brother Shen treats you well on weekdays, right?"

"When you first bought the copyright of "Battle City 2", you quoted such a high price to the outside world, which scared off many companies in the industry who wanted to cooperate with you. At that time, there was a word circulating in the circle."

"They said, your heart is as high as the sky, do you know why no one continued to bid at that time? Was it because your price was too high?"

Boss Fengfeng paused his apple-peeling hand, looked up at him, and said softly, "No."

"You snatched the copyright of "War City 2" and already made many people in the industry dislike you, and you quoted such a high price. Those old people in the circle want to leave you alone and punish you."

""War City 2" is a good ip, but this ip can be eaten by everyone? Maybe your brother Jiang Tingyuan can eat it, but what kind of thing are you, want to monopolize this ip? Then let this Let the ip fall into your hands."

The apple was peeled, and when the long peel was about to end, it broke and fell to the ground.

Boss Fengfeng threw the peeled apple and the peel into the trash can without hesitation, dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes, looked at Jiang Yu and said, "At that time, everyone was waiting to see your jokes, only me , gave you a chance."

"I've taken so many risks for you. I've poured real money into it. What did I get in the end? You won't let my money go to waste, right?"

After some words, Jiang Yu's head was already covered with a fine layer of cold sweat, the sweat slowly trickled down and flowed into the eye sockets along the eyelashes, causing Jiang Yu's eyes to hurt, but he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe them.

These words were so obvious that they almost forced Jiang Yu to agree to bear all the losses caused by the movie. Of course Jiang Yu was unwilling.

"I'm sorry Brother Shen, I really..."

"I came to you today, not to listen to your explanation, but to ask for an answer."

Before Jiang Yu could finish the rest of the sentence, Boss Fengfeng directly raised his hand, choking all his next words in his throat.

"I...I see." Jiang Yu finally didn't say anything to resist, because he knew clearly that today he had no other choice but to agree to the request of the peak boss.

After receiving Jiang Yu's reply, the boss of Fengfeng walked away contentedly, leaving Jiang Yu sitting on the sofa with his whole body limp, staring blankly at the ceiling, without moving for a long time.

In the next few days, Jiang Yu was looking forward to a miracle all the time. So what if the word of mouth is bad? In this day and age, good movies are popular but bad ones are cast aside by everyone, but as long as people pay attention and others are willing to scold There will inevitably be a series of topics.

If there is a topic, it will bring a certain amount of box office. Now Jiang Yu has no expectations for the movie "Battle City 2". I just hope that this movie can allow him to recover the capital he invested in. , nothing more.

What is worthy of affirmation is that the topic will indeed bring heat, and the heat can indeed be converted into box office.

Since "War City 2" was released, all kinds of critics and critics have emerged one after another. Even the author of "War City 2" came out to speak out in person and wrote a long article with a length of [-] words to criticize the movie garbage.

Needless to say fans, almost all the word-of-mouth accumulated in the previous work has been wiped out. A large number of fans have lost fans, and some fans have even lost fans and stepped back directly, completing the evolution from War City fans to War City blacks.

Some people have counted that "War City 2" was scolded for more than 30 hot searches in the first week of its release, with an average of three or four hot searches on Weibo's hot search list every day.

This also attracted many viewers to go to the theater, wanting to see how bad this movie is, and how bad it can be.

The box office of the film also experienced a short-term prosperity due to the enthusiasm of the people who eat melons. "War City 2" had a box office of 1 million in the first week, and then...then there was no more.

Next, until the film had to be released in advance due to the box office's double hit the street, as of twelve o'clock in the evening on the day of the film's release, how much box office did "Battle City 2" get in total?

1.33 million is the final total box office of the movie.

For a small-budget movie, this number is actually a very good box office, but for a movie like "War City 2", which has invested nearly [-] million yuan, it is no longer possible to simply use the word "lose money". Words describe.

This is such a loss that even my parents dare not admit it, and my underpants are almost completely lost.

On the day when the movie's final box office statistics came out, the people who had dreamed a long time because of this movie, Jiang Yu, Dingfeng, Yu Qiuze, Liu Yunlan...

All their dreams were finally shattered after seeing that shocking number.
