The first day's box office in more than 10 other cities was 2 . 9 million yuan in total, while in Shanghai, which had a population of nearly 10 million, the film earned only 15,000 Yuan on its opening day .
What the hell had happened?
Qin Guan's livelihood was on the line . This was so cruel!
Was he going to act like a sitting duck though? Of course not!
After discussing this with his agency, a strategy for the fans in Shanghai was implemented online . Qin Guan's team uploaded a map of the surrounding cities, local cinemas and public transportation routes . The map also included nearby restaurants and coffee bars . One could call it a tourist guide for cities around Shanghai .
"Are you worried about waiting in a long line, but still want to buy a ticket? Are you in Shanghai, looking for tickets to the most popular limited-budget film? Please read this and take a short fun trip to watch Qin Guan's film!"
The map included Suzhou, Wuxi, Jiaxing, even Hangzhou, which shocked fans all over the country .
Even though Shanghai was such a big city, only two of its cinemas were showing the film . In other cities, the film's time slots were getting more and more popular, but Shanghai remained completely indifferent .
After standing in a long line for an entire day in vain, the fans had gotten angry . All the booking websites were useless . There was a traffic jam on all the highways and roads around Shanghai on the weekends . There were even posters and slogans about Qin Guan on a few cars . These people were all loyal fans of Qin Guan .
They blasted "Hundred Family Surnames" through their loudspeakers as they headed away from Shanghai happily .
The number of people in down-town Shanghai decreased significantly . Some reporters were even waiting for the fans to come back with news .
This was not just a simple problem of the entertainment circle . People's livelihoods were in danger all over the country . The business would suffer a great loss .
Meanwhile, more and more people fell in love with the film's black humor and twists . The film received public praise online . Both Qin Guan's fans and curious common people went to the cinema to watch it . Only famous films stood the test of time . By the time Qin Guan finished his work with Director Zhang, the film had an outstanding box office of 48 . 8 million Yuan, which meant that it had earned back 10 times its budget .
If one subtracted the share of the cinemas and distribution agencies, as well as the initial investment, Qin Guan had earned a net profit of nearly 10 million . He certainly deserved his Lucky Boy title .
Meanwhile, Chen Hong was preparing for the lawsuit . She had gone too far for "The Promise" by using improper means . The simple problem had become more complicated because of her .
Everything had gotten out of control . Her friends in Shanghai were angry and they needed an outlet .
Tiancheng had fallen silent, so Chen had to go to court alone . People refused to give up until all hope was gone . Everyone hoped that she would be more honest in the future .
Director Zhang was happy to hear the news . The whole crew was pleased, so Qin Guan's final scene was finished in a harmonious atmosphere .
The scene depicted the bursting point of hostility among brothers, father and sons, as well as husband and wife . Of course, Jay Chou was not included . He was a greenhand, so it would be better for him to stay in shallow waters . His job was just to destroy the palace with his troops after everyone else's story had ended .
The royal family began its weapon-less battle in the small hall .
Qin Guan had committed suicide earlier . He had escaped death narrowly, but he was still weak, so he was lying in an armchair, his face and lips looking pale as he panted . There were blood stains on the bandages around his chest .
