Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 432: Putting a Sack on the Principal
Everything was fine until the cat suddenly urinated on Fang Hong's head. Liu Tianxian also noticed it and screamed "Ah!" and quickly took the cat off his head.

I saw that his head was covered with water.

Fang Hong quickly stood up and lowered his head. He could still smell a pungent odor, the smell of cat urine, which could be called a biological weapon.

He said angrily, "Didn't you say your cat just finished pooping?"

"Hahaha, I forgot I peed a few hours ago." Liu Tianxian thought it was quite funny and pulled his clothes: "Hurry up, I'll wash it for you."

"You are just a careless person." Fang Hong said.

"Okay, okay, calm down." Liu Tianxian was also very embarrassed.

The cat squinted its eyes, looking lazy and indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with it.

The two went to the bathroom, which was spacious and luxurious. Fang Hong squatted on the ground with his head lowered, while Liu Tianxian bent down and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms.

I rinsed his hair with warm water and then put some shampoo on it.

"I don't know if there is any urine smell left." Fang Hong complained.

"How could that be? Just smell how nice this shampoo smells." Liu Tianxian placed her pair of white and slender hands around his head.

Fang Hong felt his scalp was quite comfortable, but he was not forgiving in his words: "Let me beat up that stinky cat of yours later. I want revenge for daring to poop and pee on the principal's head."

"Why bother with a cat? It doesn't know anything." Liu Tianxian said.

"I don't bother with the cat, but I'm going to bother with its owner? You want me to beat him up?" Fang Hong said.

"You try and hit me." Liu Tianxian's baby voice contained a hint of threat.

Fang Hong was bold. He raised his hand and patted her butt, then pinched it. It was fleshy and felt very good.

"Don't be naughty with me," Liu Tianxian warned.

"You asked me to hit you. I was just following the woman's wishes. There are regulations that say it's illegal not to follow a woman's wishes." Fang Hong was talking nonsense.

Liu Tianxian grabbed the back of his neck and pressed him to the ground.

Fang Hong couldn't lift his head up, and it was almost touching the ground: "Hey, lady, spare my life."

"Are you still going to challenge me?" Liu Tianxian's baby voice was quite threatening.

"I won't follow you anymore. Not anymore." Fang Hong begged for mercy.

However, Liu Tianxian did not let him go and brought up the past: "Let me ask you, who called me Liu just now?"

"No, you heard it wrong." Fang Hong denied.

"Hmph! Don't treat me as a fool." Liu Tianxian snorted coldly.

"do not you?"

As soon as Fang Hong said this, he said "Eh hey hey": "I was wrong, I was wrong."

His head was pressed hard by Liu Tianxian, only a few centimeters off the ground, and the position was very uncomfortable.
Liu Tianxian didn't really want to push him to the ground. She taught him a lesson and then let him go: "I'll teach you a lesson."

Then I continued to wash his hair.

Just when the whole country was shrouded in a festive atmosphere, everyone was celebrating the Spring Festival.

Chen Zhixi has already started to act.

One netizen posted his movie ticket on Weibo: "I wanted to watch Bouquet of Flowers, but the theater gave me a ticket for Journey into the Sky, and said they are the same? What is this operation?"

This movie ticket has the name of the movie and its location, as well as the cinema where it is held, Wanning Huaying Cinema in Hainan Province.

“This is stealing the box office!”

"Fuck, something so stinky actually stole the box office of Bouquet of Flowers."

"Awesome, I also bought such a ticket."

There are a lot of comments from netizens below, and some netizens have also bought such tickets.

After that, netizens continued to post their movie tickets, saying that they clearly bought "Bouquet of Flowers", but the movie on the ticket was "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back in Heaven".

There were also netizens who posted photos saying that they bought "Bouquet", but the ticket showed "The Man from Macau".

The ticket seller told them it didn’t matter and they could all watch it.

These continuous incidents have set the Internet on fire and are fermenting at a very fast speed.

Soon after, Chen Zhixi posted a message on behalf of Yutu saying: "Some theaters and groups that steal box office revenue please take it easy. The Film Bureau is catching typical cases recently and the fines are quite heavy."

All major media outlets and journalists hyped up the matter like fish smelling blood.

"Breaking news! 'Havoc in Heaven' stole the box office of 'Flowers'!"

"The Spring Festival box office theft was discovered. Was the box office of Bouquet stolen?"

"The box office of "Flowers" was stolen, and Yutu CEO Chen Zhixi warned: Take it easy!"

For a time, such headlines were everywhere.

The reporter also interviewed well-known people about their views on this matter.

According to famous film critic Song Ziwen, "Box office fraud is a common phenomenon in the film industry. China's film industry lacks a mechanism and supervision, so anything can happen, including defamation by peers, fraudulent box office fraud, etc."

He also said: "Now many distributors are trying to find ways to prevent their films from being stolen at the box office, and they can even steal the box office from others. There is also a famous saying in the distribution industry: If you want a high box office, you must rely on hype and steal."

The reporter then interviewed the cinema chain. As the cinema chain, the relevant person in charge of Wanda Cinema Line and China Film Star Cinema Line also said: "One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel!"

They must certainly set themselves aside.

This matter became a big fuss for a while, and people from all sides came out to say something, making the matter very hot.

This made those cinemas that stole box office revenue restrained for a while, but Yutu did not target the majority and just stole.

Yutu only sent a lawyer's letter to a dozen or so cinemas that funded the enemy, and also directly exposed it online.

According to the Morning News, a total of 15 cinemas were exposed, including Laizhou Cinema, Linfen Times Warner International Cinema, Weifang Qingzhou Tianma International Cinema, etc. They have names and surnames, and whoever dares to aid the enemy will be killed!

Of course, there are still many hidden ones that have not been discovered, but the cinemas that were scared had to restrain themselves and dared not steal box office revenue for "Journey to the West" and "The Man from Macau" anymore.

The principal is really not joking. Not only will they have to face the blow from Yutu, but they will also have to face the blow from the Film Bureau. They simply cannot bear it.

Director Zhou of the Film Bureau said: "The Film Bureau has already grasped some facts of violations. After the holiday, the violating theaters will be dealt with in accordance with the spirit of the recently issued "Notice."

In other words, whoever exposes it will be dealt with.

Yutu handled the matter in a swift and decisive manner, and responded promptly. In such an atmosphere, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" plummeted on the third day of the Lunar New Year, reaching only 4630 million.

"The Man from Macau" also fell to 1654 million.

The combined box office revenue of the two films was less than 100 million yuan, which is normal. They lost all the box office revenue.

The box office of "Bouquet" has risen again, breaking 1.91 million, which is a huge success and just short of breaking 2 million.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" fell again to 4357 million. This is a return to normal levels. After all, there are many investors behind this movie.

Not only Hong Kong Capital, but also China Film.

And "The Man from Macau" with 1787 million has also returned to normal levels.

"Bouquet" ultimately did not break 2 million, only 1.69 million, a drop of to million. There is no way around it, the audience base is still limited.

The total box office exceeded 6.62 million, but it still did not make back the investment. Yutu spent too much on publicity. It should have exceeded 8 million at least.

Although the box office has returned to normal, the theft of box office is still rampant. Fatty Yu's heart is bleeding and he can't help but say: "This is hype, there is no such thing as stealing box office."

"Fire your mother next door." Fang Hong cursed directly on Toutiao media.

"Hahaha, even the principal couldn't help it!"

"You have to admit that you stole other people's box office. You have the nerve to show off your crappy movie. Without Chow Yun Fat, no one would watch it."

"There's evidence, yet you're still holding on!"

"."

The audience overwhelmingly supported the principal simply because "Bouquet" was indeed a masterpiece and worth the price of the ticket.

The other two Hong Kong films are garbage among garbage.

Seeing the principal speak, Fatty Yu immediately wilted. He had always been a little afraid of the principal.

On the other hand, several Hong Kong investors of "Havoc in Heaven" were very anxious and immediately went to China Film to find Zuo Shandiao. Among them, Wang Haifeng, the president of Xinghao Film, asked, "What should we do?"

He is one of the most important financiers of this movie, and he is a fat guy; the other one is Zheng Qiangfei, who is also a financier from Hong Kong.

Of course, they are all the financial backers behind Chow Yun-fat.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Now that they've found evidence of stealing the box office revenue, they're going to deal with you this way." Zuoshandiao waved his hands, looking uninterested.

This made several people look at each other, and Zheng Qiangfei said: "This kind of thing is very common, everyone does it."

"The person you met is the principal. Even if you don't know him, you must have heard of him. This is how they fought each other. They fight every year. Now they are right and have found evidence that you stole their box office revenue. What can you do?" Zuoshandiao meant to accept his fate.

"Is there no other way?" Wang Haifeng was unwilling.

Damn, he invested hundreds of millions, and now it seems like he can’t get his investment back.

This movie had a budget of 300 million, the cast is so strong, and it's a special effects movie. Even though the special effects are rubbish, it's still special effects, and there's also publicity.

With such a huge sum of money, I want to kill the principal!
"No, let me tell you the truth, the principal called the Film Bureau directly, so don't do this again. No one in the cinema will cooperate with you." Zuoshandiao told them to give up the idea.

The Film Bureau has announced that it will deal with those cinemas that violate the regulations after the New Year. Who dares to offend them at this time?

This is a destruction of the film environment, which is also very serious!

But how can one die? Everyone here has invested tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. To waste so much money is like killing one's parents.

Wang Haifeng and Zheng Qiangfei looked at each other again, murderous intent was looming!
"Also, this is the mainland, don't play your Hong Kong tricks." Zuoshandiao warned.

He knew these people too well. Some of them were gangsters in the 1980s and 1990s, but they have all been cleaned up and are now a clean slate.

Anyway, China Film is a state-owned enterprise and can handle it.

As for these Hong Kong guys, let them die. They made such bad movies and yet they have the nerve to complain about it.

Director Zheng Baorui was in the crowd and didn't say a word. He was the least qualified to speak and his level was extremely poor.

In the next three days, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" continued to decline by 4269 million, 3718 million, and 3404 million, reaching 2442 million after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

The total box office just broke 300 million. The cost of this movie is 300 million. Just think about how it makes money. Everyone will go to work later, and the number of people watching movies will only get fewer and fewer.

As for "The Man from Macau", there is nothing much to say about this movie. It has always been hovering between 10 or 20 million, and it seems to be neither dead nor alive.

"Bouquet" grossed over 11 million yuan in the last three days of the Spring Festival, and only reached million on the eighth day. Now it has exceeded billion, so it is making money.

The investment in this movie was very low, just tens of millions, and the bulk of it was spent on publicity.

The publicity fee is equivalent to the cost of a movie like "Journey to the West", which is quite terrifying.

Anyway, the situation is hopeless and the principal is no match for me.

Those people could only accept their fate, unless they could beat up the principal, in which case they would be happy to do so.

But now is the time when the term of office has just changed. Who dares to do this?
They accepted their fate, but Fang Hong did not. He still had no intention of letting them go. As soon as he got to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, he filed a lawsuit: "The movies "Havoc in Heaven" and "The Man from Macau" violated the rules and also damaged the interests of "Flowers". We demand that they be removed from the shelves."

To put it simply, not only will you not be allowed to make money, but your movies will also be removed from the shelves.

This made Fatty Yu of Bona Film Group, the CEO of Star Overseas Film Group, the CEO of Oriental Film Group and Hong Kong Capital so angry that they wanted to put a sack on the principal and beat him up in the ditch.

It’s so fucking infuriating!
