Chapter 314 The entertainment industry is not all about killing and killing. (Ch 314)

After chatting with Chen Yuwen, Qi Jia flew back to Tie City.

I don’t want to be friends with you. There are only a few shots left to shoot.

A week later, Qi Jia finished filming the drama and returned to Shanghai.

Compared with a week ago, the box office growth trend of “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” has dropped rapidly.

On the other hand, “The Best of Us” still maintains a significant daily growth trend nearly a month after its release.

As of now, the cumulative box office has exceeded 1 billion, and the gap between the two films is gradually narrowing.

Seeing this scene, fans were ecstatic and comments began to appear online.

I’ll be waiting for you at the end of time. The reason why the box office rose so sharply at the beginning was all because Qi Jia spent money to boost it. He was worried about losing to Arthur.

Now I won’t brush it off anymore. This is the conspiracy theory about the real box office.

Qi Jia’s fans were not to be outdone and fought back one after another, so the two sides started to attack each other online again.

It was still the same conference room, with Chen Yuwen speaking in the front.

Qi Jia, Zhang Ruonan and Boss Yang each had a stack of documents in their hands and were looking through them.

“Through our statistics, we found that most of the theaters with abnormal box office performance are concentrated in the north, and are mainly in third- and fourth-tier cities.

There are also some in big cities, but they are less common, or maybe they use a ‘dual ticketing system’, and we have no way to investigate. “

“After finalizing the list of cities, we arranged for offline personnel to conduct undercover visits to these cinemas with problems.

By comparing actual movie-watching conditions and box office data, as well as the collected screening and attendance data.

After comprehensive analysis, it is certain that these cinemas have secretly tampered with the showtime information.

The operation of transferring the box office data of “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” to the box office data of “The Best of Us”.

After a pause, Chen Yuwen took out another stack of paper ticket stubs and continued,

“In addition, according to the audience feedback we collected online, most people said that the tickets they bought had “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” written on them.

But after scanning the code, I found that the information displayed was “The Best of Us”. Here are the screenshots submitted by some viewers and the ticket stubs we collected offline. “

Zhang Ruonan took a ticket stub and scanned it with her mobile phone.

Qi Jia leaned over to take a look and found that it was just as Chen Yuwen said.

Boss Yang had a gloomy look on her face. She really didn’t expect the other party to be so shameless. Since they couldn’t win head-on, they actually thought of stealing the box office and falsifying the numbers.

“Yuwen, what do you think? Tell me.”

Yang Mi looked at Chen Yuwen, wanting to hear her opinion.

“Sister Mi, based on the evidence we have now, if we file a complaint, it will be enough to prove that the other party has indeed violated the law.”

Chen Yuwen gave his suggestion. Yang Mi did not comment and looked at Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan held her chin, tilted her head, shook her little index finger, and smiled with crooked eyes.

“Sister Mi, you don’t have to look at me. I will listen to Qi Jia.”

Yang Mi choked, feeling as if she had been forced to eat a mouthful of dog food. She looked at Qi Jia with a helpless look.

Qi Jia was staring at the information in front of him, frowning and thinking.

Logically speaking, now that we have the evidence, filing a complaint directly is the simplest and most direct way.

But if we really do this, the problem will be solved easily, but in the end we will offend the cinema, Shengshi Interactive Entertainment, and Shidao at the same time.

It sounds very frustrating, just like when you catch a thief, not only can you not call the police, but you also have to negotiate with the thief to ask him to hand over the things.

But this is the entertainment industry. It’s not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Besides, Qi Jia is not alone now. He can’t act rashly anymore. He also needs to consider Zhang Ruonan and other people in the studio.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he said to Yang Mi,

“Sister Mi, can you help me make an appointment with Huanyu and Shengshi Interactive Entertainment? I want to talk to them.”

Hearing this, Yang Mi looked at Qi Jia in surprise, then smiled.

“Little brother, you have grown up. I thought that with your personality, you would directly choose to report it.”

“No problem, I’ll make the arrangements now and I’ll go with you. Otherwise, it would seem like I’m a useless shareholder.”

…

Since he had decided not to make a big deal out of it, Qi Jia didn’t plan to tell anyone about it for the time being.

At six o’clock in the afternoon of that day, he and Yang Mi arrived in the capital.

At the same time, in the private room of a high-end hotel in Jinyu Hutong, Wangfujing, Beijing,

“I think they must have evidence in their hands this time. Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do?”

From the moment he received Yang Mi’s call until now, Lin Tianqi’s heart has been in a state of panic.

He doesn’t regret stealing the box office. After all, he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars just by moving his fingers. Only a fool would not do that.

He just regretted that he was too hasty in stealing, and the data fluctuated too much, which was discovered by Qi Jia and others.

Seeing Lin Tianqi’s panic, Chen Fangzhou felt very contemptuous. He had already warned this idiot,

Don’t be greedy and prolong the cycle when stealing millions each time. But he didn’t listen and insisted on eating the whole thing in one go. Now he’s been discovered.

If possible, he really didn’t want to care about him, but now the two of them were on the same boat, so he could only patiently comfort him.

“Boss Lin, don’t worry. Things are not as bad as you think. Even if Qi Jia has evidence,

But he came to us now instead of reporting directly to the Electricity Association because he doesn’t dare to break off relations with us.

Considering our status in the industry, the theaters that had the incident were all third- and fourth-tier ones, far from Beijing.

As long as we remain firm and pretend to be completely ignorant of the situation, and insist that it was our subordinates who made the mistake, Qi Jia won’t be able to do anything to us.”

Lin Tianqi looked anxious, still feeling that something was not right. After all, the amount stolen was several hundred million, not tens of millions. After thinking about it, he said,

“How about we give him some back? It’s a win-win situation for both of us.”

Chen Fangzhou was so angry that his face turned green. When we were discussing cooperation, didn’t you want to pay more? Why are you suddenly so generous now?

“It’s fine to give back a little, otherwise it’s not justifiable, but we have to wait for them to bring it up. If we bring it up on our own initiative, it would be like admitting that we stole the box office.”

Chen Fangzhou tugged at his tie knot in annoyance, and rolled up his shirt sleeves. After thinking for a while, he said,

Lin Tianqi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and felt a little relieved. He felt that Chen Fangzhou’s analysis made sense.

But how much should be refunded, and how much should each party bear after the refund?

He still needs to think about this issue carefully. In fact, given his personality, it would be best if Chen Fangzhou did everything, but he knew that was impossible after thinking about it.

The two of them were each thinking about their own problems, and for a moment, the box fell into silence.

At this time, Qi Jia and Yang Mi also arrived at the hotel.

Seeing this, the staff who had been waiting at the door immediately stepped forward and enthusiastically led the two to the door of the box.

He knocked on the door, waited for three seconds, then pushed the door open and said respectfully,

“Mr. Chen and Mr. Lin, Mr. Qi Jia and Ms. Yang Mi are here.”
