I really just want to make money

For this movie screening ceremony, Li Yu mobilized his various contacts.

The political circles are mainly Lu Feng (deputy director of SHI, just promoted), Niu Fei (deputy director of Economic Investigation Bureau), Zhang Lingyun (deputy director of Industry and Commerce Bureau), Liu Jun (deputy director of Education Bureau, husband of Zhao Fang), Jin Xing (manager committee chair).

In the business community, there are Xu Maolin, Qin Wei (Weixin Construction), Lin Peng (Vice President of Hefei Branch of Xinwan Bank), Lu Wenlong (Head of Approval Department) and others.

The academic circles mainly include Bai Ruiting, vice president of Huizhou University, and Liu Shaohong, dean of the School of Business Administration.

As for his own company, in addition to the company's executives, Li Yu also called all the well-known contracted web writers.

After watching the movie, the authors can take some photos to promote it in their book friend group and help Boss Li earn more tickets.
Except that the above-mentioned people were personally invited by Li Yu, many of them were shocked when they heard that Li Yu's company had invested in a big-budget movie with hundreds of millions of dollars to be released soon.

Hefei is just an inland second-tier city. Its economy mainly relies on manufacturing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a desert of entertainment and culture. Investing in movies is definitely a rare thing.

So there was no need for Li Yu to advertise, and some heavyweight bosses offered to come.

One of them is Lan Ruoxi's father who met once when he came to inspect the company, but has been out of reach (save two)
Hearing this news, Li Yu was shocked.

It's just a movie, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right?
Fortunately, the secretary told Li Yu that this was the boss's private itinerary and would not be on the news, so Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

With the arrival of this big boss, countless heads in the province and city cheered.
Good guy, Li Yu was afraid at the beginning that the movie theater would not be full, but in the end he found that there was no room at all.

In desperation, he could only open a separate screening hall for his company's people, which freed up enough seats.
On the afternoon of April 4th, Baohe Wanda Cinema was full of voices and crowds

Of course, these people were not arranged by Li Yu, but the film team released the itinerary in advance, and the fans gathered spontaneously.
After finally getting out of the crowd, Chen Kexin happily said to the leading actors beside him while wiping off his sweat:
"I didn't expect the fans of Hefei to be so enthusiastic. It seems that this stop is really right."

"Hahaha, that's a must. The three of us have at least tens of millions of fans. What are these people?" Deng Chao smiled smugly.

At this time, I heard the fans outside started yelling.

"Xiaoming Xiaoming I love you!"

"My elder brother Xiaoming is the most handsome!"

"Xiaoming."

Deng Chao: ".????"

Where are my fans?
Deng Chao followed the crowd into the screening hall with a depressed expression on his face, and saw that the screening hall was already full of people in an orderly manner, and it was extraordinarily quiet.

Seeing the stars of the main creative team coming over, it was only noisy for a while, and then quickly quieted down.

Seeing Li Yu, Chen Kexin asked with a surprised expression:
"Mr. Li, are these people you arranged? Why?"

Chen Kexin originally wanted to say, no matter how excited he was when he saw a star, he thought it was inappropriate, so he said, "Well, it's quite quiet."

Regarding Chen Kexin's question, Li Yu just smiled, then walked with him and said:

"Two screening halls have been arranged today. My friends are sitting here. The fans are in the next hall. We will go there later."

As he said that, Li Yu had already led Chen Kexin to the first row, where several people were sitting.

"Director Chen, let me introduce you, this is the leader of XXX, this is"

Li Yu introduced more than a dozen people one after another, and when Li Yu finished introducing the main bosses, the expressions of Chen Kexin and the others became a little numb.

Good guy, it's just a screening, and half of the upper circles in Hefei City and even Huizhou Province have come.
Chen Kexin is not bad. After all, he is the director of Xiangjiang, and he is not so in awe of the civil servants in the mainland. He just feels that Li Yu's energy is beyond imagination.

However, Huang Xiaoming and other celebrities were different. They looked at Li Yu with faint awe.

This is not a simple gold master, but a real boss!
It was originally a lively celebrity meeting, but because too many bosses came, the atmosphere in the theater was a bit depressing.

None of the celebrity meeting sessions prepared by Chen Kexin were used, and the bosses didn't have time to listen to the celebrities' comparisons, so the movie was broadcast directly.
When the movie started, Li Yu took the main creative team to the next hall, and the atmosphere here was completely different.

As soon as the stars arrived, Xiaopujie immediately became overwhelmed, and media reporters took pictures one after another.

"Huh, that's right, I was really scared to death just now," Deng Chao patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

Li Yu laughed, and patted Deng Chao on the shoulder, "How are our fans in Hefei, are they enthusiastic?"

"Yeah, so enthusiastic!"

To be honest, even Li Yu felt tremendous pressure on that occasion just now.

In fact, he invited so many big shots here for a special purpose.

Supporting the scene for "Huaxia Partner" is only one aspect, the real purpose is to show off your muscles in front of Chen Kexin.

In order not to wait for the movie to make money, Chen Kexin had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Xiangjiang guy, who recognizes money but not people, Li Yu has been vaccinated in advance.

It looks good now.

When Chen Kexin came to the stage, he first thanked Li Yu for his investment and support, then thanked the audience, and finally several celebrities came to the stage to tell some interesting stories about the shooting.

After a lively show for half an hour, the movie officially started.

The big guy's movie ended early, and Li Yu took Chen Kexin and others to send the big guys away. Before leaving, the big guy patted Li Yu on the shoulder to encourage him.

Returning to the screening hall again, the movie here also ended soon.

Next, there will be media interviews and fan photo sessions.

Today's protagonists should have been people like Chen Kexin, but as a film investor, Li Yu made his appearance in front of the media for the first time, which also attracted the attention of many reporters.

Seeing that Li Yu was only in his early 20s, and his appearance was not inferior to the three star actors, the reporter girls at the scene looked like wolves seeing sheep, their eyes glowed green.
The young lady of the Tencent news reporter was the fiercest, and she was the first to kill Li Yu.

"President Li, do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Yu: "(⊙o⊙)..."

"Ahem, this has nothing to do with movies, right? We only talk about movies today, not about life..."

The young lady didn't get the answer she wanted, and she wanted to continue asking, but was pushed aside by the young lady from Sina.

"Mr. Li, may I ask why you invested in an inspirational youth movie?"

Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, look, this is a professional reporter.

"Because I think this will be a very classic movie, even if it is watched ten years later, it will still be very meaningful."

The Sina reporter asked again: "Then what do you think of the movie's box office? How much is it expected to reach?"

This question should be the most classic question in interviews when the movie is released.

Generally speaking, the interviewee's answer should be "the box office is not important, as long as the audience likes it", "I believe the audience will like this movie, as for the box office, we will try our best to promote it and strive to do our best"...

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people like to talk about it, such as Feng Moumou
Only after today, people will find that Feng Moumou is not the only one who likes to talk loudly, and Li Moumou will only speak louder.

Li Yu pondered for a while, and then said a number that stunned everyone on the scene, including Chen Kexin and other main creators.

"I think the final box office of the movie must be more than 5 million."

5 million? ? ! !

The reporter's sister gasped, and her already swollen chest swelled as if it was inflated.

I am happy!
Big news!

Absolutely big news!

Miss Internet news reporters like to interview people with a big mouth and a big tone. Of course, if the bottom is also big, that's the best...

As soon as Li Yu's 5 million was released, the scene was suddenly silent.

The reporters who were still interviewing Chen Kexin, Huang Xiaoming and others turned around and ran away, and Li Yu was surrounded by a huff.

"Mr. Li, you just said that this movie can break 5 million at the box office?"

"Mr. Li, this is just an inspirational drama. Why do you think the movie can break 5 million at the box office?"

"Mr. Li, do you know the concept of 5 million? So far this year, no movie has reached 5 million..."

"Mr. Li, you are a newcomer in the entertainment industry. You don't understand anything. Are you deliberately trying to please the public? You just said that the box office will definitely break 5 million. What if you can't break 5 million?"

"Mr. Li..."

Li Yu looked at the reporters who were in a frenzy with a dazed expression, especially someone who had already started to attack personally.

Damn, I'm just telling a fact, okay?

It's fine if you don't have the vision and don't believe it, but you dare to say that you are "sensational"?
Li Yu couldn't bear it anymore.

"That's right, that's what I said. You have seen the quality of this movie. I am confident that it will break 5 million!"

"And you..."

Li Yu pointed at the male reporter with the smelliest mouth just now, and sprayed it back.

"Don't use your poor IQ to doubt my vision!"

This year, Li Yu has been fishing online every day, and he has encountered eight hundred trolls, if not one thousand. The more trolls he has encountered, the technical level of trolling has naturally risen in a straight line.

It was a Netease News reporter named Zhu Zhiqiang who was pointed at by Li Yu's nose. When he saw Li Yu pointing at his nose and scolding him for being "retarded", his nose became crooked.

Reporters are known as the uncrowned kings. Although they are bragging, it can also show their great energy.

Zhu Zhiqiang was publicly insulted by Li Yu, and a burst of anger burst out in his heart.

Is it amazing to be rich?

Money can't stop me from hacking you out!

He is an employee of NetEase Hangzhou headquarters, and this time he is on a business trip for an interview.

Even if he knew that Li Yu had a lot of energy in Hefei, he was not afraid, anyway, he patted his ass and left after the interview. He didn't believe that Li Yu's hand could reach out to Hangzhou to do something to him...

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiqiang puffed out his chest, and said very stiffly:
"Hmph, I'm telling the truth. I'm afraid you don't even know what 5 million box office means?"

"Let's not say 5 million for this movie, 2 million is enough for me!"

Zhu Zhiqiang's confident expression almost made Li Yu laugh angrily. He didn't want to pay attention to this kind of stupidity, but he pushed his nose and face and grabbed Li Yu.

"Mr. Li, since you said that the movie can have a box office of 5 million, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Zhiqiang is a brain-dead, but he is not a brain-dead at all. Just at this moment, he wanted to understand one thing.

I'm a little reporter myself, I don't even care about farts, and I'm not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet.

But Li Yu is a billionaire. If I can stimulate him today, if Li Yu's head gets hot and he bets with him for tens of millions, wouldn't he become rich overnight?

Following Zhu Zhiqiang's clamor, the noisy reporters at the scene immediately fell silent.

They all looked at this colleague with a look of shock and astonishment, admiring him...

How dare you act so wildly on someone else's territory.

Awesome!
After admiring Zhu Zhiqiang's courage, they all looked at Li Yu expectantly.

Today's news, no matter whether Li Yu agrees or not, the reporters will make a lot of money...

If Li Yu agrees, they can write: The super rich and the reporter bet against each other that the box office of "Huaxia Partners" will break 5 million!This news can be written until the movie is released.

If Li Yu didn't agree, it would be even more interesting: the super rich bragged that "Huaxia Partner" could break 5 million at the box office, but the reporter slapped him in the face on the spot, and he didn't dare to bet against it.Then you can just black Li Yu and the movie itself...

Anyway, this group of reporters has won.

Li Yu had never dealt with media reporters before, so he didn't know their dark thoughts, but Chen Kexin was a veteran in the industry, and he could see the malicious intentions of the reporters at a glance.

It's over!

Never expected Mr. Li to be so impulsive, the trouble came out of his mouth!
Chen Kexin was sweating on his brow in a hurry. He didn't care if Li Yu was hacked, but if it affected the reputation of "Huaxia Partner", it would be troublesome...

It's a pity that he can only be anxious now, because there are too many reporters, Li Yu is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and Chen Kexin, an old bone, can't rush in even if he wants to.

He had no choice but to wink at Li Yu crazily and wave his arms, which meant that he must stop talking nonsense...

It's a pity that all his performances were shown to the blind, and Li Yu didn't notice him at all.

When the reporter said that he wanted to bet against himself, Li Yu first disdainful, who the hell are you, worthy of betting against himself?

For the bet, Li Yu knew he was sure to win.

But what's the point of winning a reporter?
If you have the energy to fight against him, why don't you find a girl who has lost her footsteps and save her...

But immediately, Li Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a crazy idea began to grow in his heart...

It's no fun to bet against a small reporter, but if you bring your own company along with it, maybe you can really make a lot of money!
Just do this... this... and this...

Li Yu's inspiration exploded, and his brain turned at an unprecedented speed. In just a few moments, he thought of a wonderful bet.

When Li Yu was thinking, seeing that he was silent, Zhu Zhiqiang thought that Li Yu was afraid, and his arrogance suddenly became even more arrogant.

"President Li, you are not afraid, are you?"

"Of course, we also know that Mr. Li is investing in a movie for the first time, and it's normal if he doesn't know the box office..."

Zhu Zhiqiang was deliberately provoking Li Yu, and he was betting on Li Yu's young face.

Sure enough, Li Yu raised his head suddenly, stared at him sharply and said:
"Okay, since you want to gamble, I'll play with you, but I'm afraid you don't have the capital to gamble with me."

Facing Li Yu's oppressive eyes, to be honest, Zhu Zhiqiang felt guilty and weak.

However, once human greed is formed, he can completely suppress the fear and fear in his heart. Compared with the possibility of being retaliated by Li Yu, he wants to drink a mouthful of blood on Li Yu...

So Zhu Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and raised his chest.

"As long as Mr. Li dares to gamble, I will dare to agree. I only have this body. Mr. Li, you can bet whatever you want to bet."

After Zhu Zhiqiang finished speaking, everyone shouted in their hearts that this person was shameless.

This guy is trying to blackmail Boss Li with empty gloves!
Li Yu is not used to this kind of hob meat.

"I'm not interested in your flesh, but I'm interested in your skin..." Li Yu said with a smile.

Zhu Zhiqiang was so scared by Li Yu's dangerous smile that he almost peed.

Fuck, this Boss Li is not a gay...

Li Yu didn't know that he was misunderstood, so he continued:

"The profession of journalists is sacred, and there should be no low-quality people like you.

If you want to bet, you can bet with me as a reporter. If you lose, you will resign and never be a reporter. "

"Do you dare to bet?"

After Li Yu finished speaking, the reporters present felt their backs shudder, and the eyes they looked at Li Yu changed from looking foolish to terrified.

This Mr. Li is a ruthless person!
Li Yu counterattacked, and it was Zhu Zhiqiang's turn to ride the tiger.

His mind is a little messed up now. On the one hand, his plan to bet against Li Yu is about to succeed, and on the other hand, he is betting against his own career...

How to choose?
Soon, Zhu Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet again.

Stretch the bold, starve the timid, do it!

He felt that he had a great chance of winning this vote.

In life, if you are not afraid of taking risks, if you don't even have the chance to take risks, then you can only be a salted fish for the rest of your life...

As long as he wins the bet, he will surely gain both money and man.

Not only do you have to drink a sip of blood from Li Yu, but you can also become famous in the reporter circle, and you can fight for the pinnacle of your life here!
"Okay, I'll bet you with my career as a reporter! It's up to Mr. Li whether you dare to come up with chips that satisfy me!"

Ha ha……

Seek death for yourself, don't blame others.

Li Yu didn't even bother to look at him again, and then casually stated the bet he had already prepared.

"If the box office does not exceed 5 million, as long as I am a valid user of several apps of Moyu Technology Company, I will refund all the money spent on watching "Huaxia Partners"!"

As soon as Li Yu said this, hundreds of people in the entire screening hall were stunned!
This bet has completely exceeded everyone's imagination.

By simple calculation, the movie ticket price of "Huaxia Partners" is about 30 yuan, and Moyu Technology has 2000 million effective network users. If half of them go to the theater to watch the movie, it will be 3 million yuan!

And that's just the company's existing users.

If this bet is true, those who are not users of Moyu Technology Company and want to go to the movies can also register as users and become valid customers, and then grab Boss Li's wool...

This is a bet with a maximum value of hundreds of millions!
Let alone other people, even Zhu Zhiqiang was stunned.

He just wanted to make a fortune from Li Yu, 100 million would be fine, hundreds of thousands would be fine, he really didn't want to play so big with Li Yu!

If the loss is tens of millions, a big guy like Li Yu won't care about him at all.

But if Li Yu was cheated out of [-] million...

Uh uh uh……

Zhu Zhiqiang's mind suddenly went blank, and his whole body trembled.

If it weren't for the crowds of people around him, he would have collapsed to the ground right now.

finished calf...

You won't be sunk into the Qiantang River, will you?

No one cared about Zhu Zhiqiang's panic. After a brief shock, the reporters exploded on the spot!

Big news!

This can no longer be described as big news...

"Mr. Li, is what you just said true?"

"Mr. Li, if you really want to withdraw several hundred million, will you really fulfill your promise?"

"Mr. Li..."

Outside the reporter, Chen Kexin didn't know how many times he was shocked today.

His mind is in a mess right now, and he can't come up with any ideas. He just wants to have a good talk with Li Yu after the interview is over.

Don't be too young, young man...

On the side, Huang Xiaoming and the others also looked at each other with indescribably weird expressions.

Only Deng Chao kept chanting words.

If you listen carefully, you will find that he is counting.

"A box office of 5 million means 1666 million moviegoers."

"Moyu Technology Company has 2000 million users. If 1000 million people watch it, it will be 3 million at the box office..."

"If outsiders can get 2 million box office, the total box office will exceed 5 million, and Mr. Li doesn't need to refund the money."

"No, it's more than that. If everyone thinks that the box office of the movie will not exceed 5 million, there will definitely be many people going to the movie with the idea of ​​taking advantage of it. They will think that they can get their money back after watching the movie..."

"In this way, Mr. Li's company will definitely add a large number of new users..."

"Hiss! Mr. Li is such a chicken thief!"

Deng Chao calculated it speciously, and the 5 million box office that he thought was impossible to complete suddenly became easy again, and his eyes widened suddenly.

In addition, he also thought of a show operation.

"If it's really short of box office, Boss Li can spend money to make up the gap..."

This hell, it went directly from impossible to a steady profit without losing money!

Earned movie box office, but also earned company users!

Deng Chao swallowed, feeling that the IQ of these people had been insulted by Li Yu pressing them on the floor.

You think he is a fool, but you don't know that you are a fool, and his boss is smart...
