Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1040: Two Month Extension Of Screening Time For The Movie!

After the exercise, Qiao Liang sat on the sofa for a while, drank some water to replenish his water, and ate two pieces of chocolate.

His stamina was depleted quickly, but he recovered quickly as well.

That was because he was playing the basic version of the Fitness Battle. The movements on it were relatively simple on the yoga mat. What’s more, there was not much exercise in the game.

If he trained his strength until he was exhausted, he might not have the energy to do anything else for the entire day. His muscles might even ache for the next three days.

However, his stamina would recover faster with just this basic training.

According to Qiao Liang’s character, he would definitely give up after practicing for a while today. It did not matter if he practiced well or not. The time would be about right as long as he did. He would basically give up and not even want to practice for the next few days.

In fact, this amount of exercise was completely insufficient. It could not be used to lose weight and shape.

However, Qiao Liang felt like he had not had enough today.

The main thing was what kind of magical chemical reaction would the game, ‘Fitness Battle’ and the smart fitness drying rack produce? He was very curious.

Thinking about it, he felt that the experience would definitely be much better than this basic model.

This curiosity made Qiao Liang feel like ants were crawling in his heart. He could not hold back this urge at all.

Thus, he did something that shocked even himself.

He decided to head out immediately and head to the nearby Deposit Fitness to experience what it was like to play “Fitness Battle” on the smart fitness drying rack!

If it was really effective, he did not mind ordering one immediately and training it at home.

“I haven’t done a live-stream in a long time. I’ve disappeared for more than a week.”

“Why don’t I do a broadcast today?”

As a veteran no-show, Qiao Liang had a sense of shame that he could not help but avoid once a month.

Coincidentally, this was a good live-stream theme. Thus, Qiao Liang packed his things and prepared to leave. At the same time, he turned on the live-stream of Bunny Tail. He was prepared to live-stream the entire process of the smart fitness drying rack to his fans!

...

At the same time, Pei Qian had just arrived at the office. He was prepared to start working for a day, no, half a day.

It was already three in the afternoon. Strictly speaking, Pei Qian had more than two hours to work today.

He had no choice. Boss Pei was too busy.

There were so many things in life. Any one of them was much more important than coming to work.

The first thing he did at work was to check the sales page of the smart fitness drying rack.

Yes, even though there were some changes in the number, it was still relatively dismal. He did not know when the stocks that were accumulated in the warehouse would be cleared.

The situation was great!

It looked like the smart fitness drying rack could be put at ease in the short term.

稍微放下心来之后,裴谦泡了杯茶,一边喝茶一边盘算其他产业的情况.

Now, Tengda Corporation was involved in too many industries. To outsiders, Boss Pei seemed to be devising strategies and had a clear grasp of the situation of all industries. However, only Boss Pei himself knew that he often missed out on certain industries. He also had to look at the blueprints of the various departments in order to remember them clearly.

Suddenly, Pei Qian thought of something.

“The movie ‘Mission and Choice’... has been taken off the big screens, right?”

The release date for the film Mission and Choice was April 14th. Normally, the first cycle of the movie would be a month, which meant that the movie would be released on May 14th.

It was already May 16th.

Ever since May 1st, when the film Greyhound, which Boss Pei had high hopes for, suffered a loss in box office sales, Pei Qian had stopped paying attention to ‘Mission and Choice’.

He directly blocked out Gou Yan application and various other promotional messages from various film apps, as well as entertainment and film sections of various news clients. In short, he tried his best not to receive any news about Mission and Choice movies.

His plan to incur losses through Mission and Choice might have failed completely but he still had to continue living.

Pei Qian was afraid that his mentality would collapse if he continued to pay attention to these news. Thus, he could only bury his head in the sand like an ostrich. Only then would he be able to calm down.

After all, there was still some time before settlement. There was still hope if he struggled hard.

His method had indeed had a very good effect.

In modern society, information might seem very advanced, but there was actually a very strong “information cocoon house” effect.

In other words, even though there was a lot of information online, it was precisely because there was too much information and there were too many channels to obtain information that people tended to focus only on the parts that they were interested in. The information obtained from different people showed huge differences. Many people thought that they were well-informed, but in fact, they had already become isolated from the world.

In such an environment, as long as he spent a little effort and did not understand some information, these things would not exist.

Now, Pei Qian felt that he could almost walk out of the “information cocoon room” and recognize reality.

Since the box office of Mission and Choice had already been settled, there was no point in running away. It was better to recognize reality early and prepare for a tough battle.

Pei Qian opened Gou Yan application, intending to check the final box office of Mission and Choice.

However, when he opened the application, he saw a notification pop up on the home page.

“‘Mission and Choice”s screening period has been extended by two months!”

This news stunned Pei Qian. He was not mentally prepared at all. Three question marks floated above his head.

“???”

What did I do wrong? I haven’t logged into Gou Yan application for more than half a month, and now it’s sending me such a dazzling message!

Pei Qian clicked on it in shock.

“According to the news from the distributor, the recent popular movie ‘Mission and Choice’ has been extended. It will be released for two months from May 14th to July 14th. At the same time, the movie has adjusted the ticket prices for all types of movies.”

There was a screenshot of the announcement.

The title of the announcement was “Notice of the delayed date of the ‘Mission and Choice’ key and the adjustment of the lowest ticket price”.

The content of the notice was very simple: the key to Mission and Choice would be extended by two months. At the same time, the lowest ticket price of the movie would be adjusted. According to the difference between the city and the cinema, ticket prices would generally decrease by five to ten yuan.

There was also an introduction to the movie’s general outline.

“‘Mission and Choice’ is an original sci-fi film produced by Tengda Corporation’s Fei Huang Workspace. It talks about the magnificent interstellar war between humans and Zergs in the future. Once it was released, it caused a huge reaction. Some industry insiders said that it ‘opened the door to domestically-produced sci-fi movies’ and ‘opened the river to heavy industrialization movies’. It has a milestone historical significance.”

“As of May 14, 16:10 PM, the film ‘Mission and Choice’ had been released for a month. Its box office had already exceeded 1.5 billion yuan. It had broken the previous 1.1 billion yuan box office record that domestically-produced movies had maintained for two years. It was far ahead of all the movies that had been released this year. It had even surpassed the domestic box office of a few Hollywood blockbusters.”

“The extension of the key to ‘Mission and Choice’ is obviously in line with the expectations of the film producers, audience, cinema operators, and industry insiders. How much box office will this outstanding domestic movie achieve in the end? I welcome everyone to wait and see with Gou Yan application!”

“Upload the professional version of Gou Yan application and check the box office in real time!”

They did not forget to publicize his application at the end of this news.

However, Pei Qian couldn’t care less about this content.

Now, his mind was blank. There were only two numbers left.

Two months!

Box office earnings: 1.5 billion yuan!

When Mission and Choice had first been released, Pei Qian had gone to Gou Yan application every day to check out the estimated box office. At the beginning, Gou Yan application had been very conservative with its estimates of 350 million yuan and 400 million yuan.

According to this estimate, the movie would definitely suffer a huge loss. Pei Qian was a little excited.

In the end, things became more and more strange.

The film’s initial poor box office performance was only because there was no publicity. However, after a series of publicity strategies hyped up the movie’s popularity, the box office of the film began to rise against the trend. Gou Yan application also adjusted its estimates of the box office repeatedly. It rose to 500 million or even 800 million yuan!

Many film critics thought that the 800 million yuan box office was already the level of the domestic box office champion this year. Even if there were stronger dark horses, Mission and Choice would still be a strong competitor for the domestic box office champion.

That was enough to make Pei Qian tremble with fear.

That was because the domestic film market was only so big at the moment. The 1.1 billion yuan that had won the box office previously was already a huge hit with the right time, place, and people. At that time, it had even occupied the hot searches for a long time.

The domestically-produced movies that followed, even those that won the annual box office championship, would at most be around 600 to 800 million yuan. On the other hand, many Hollywood blockbusters would not be able to obtain more than 1 billion yuan in the domestic box office.

In the end, Mission and Choice earned 1.5 billion yuan in the box office this month?!

Not only had they broken the domestic movie’s box office record and crushed many Hollywood blockbusters, but they were also going to screen it for another two months?

Fei Huang Workspace would earn at least 500 million yuan in the 1.5 billion yuan box office.

The game and movie of Mission and Choice cost less than 600 million yuan.

As early as the first week, the sales volume of Mission and Choice had already reached 800,000 sets. The net income was more than 80 million...

With the addition of these two figures, he would be able to recoup all the costs. Every cent that followed would be pure profit!

What was even scarier was that Pei Qian saw an analysis of the final distribution of income in the various articles on Mission and Choice on Gou Yan application’s information channel.

The person who wrote this article was obviously an industry insider. He analyzed all sorts of clues and finally came to a terrifying conclusion.

Fei Huang Workspace’s final share of the box office earnings would most likely be higher than the other film producers!

That was because Mission and Choice was different from other movies. The publicity cost could be ignored!
