Chapter 666: Chapter 665 97 to 3

Online.

Following the conclusion of Hong Tianyi’s press conference, the entire internet just exploded!

"Breaking news! The release date for ’Three Lives of Love’ is confirmed—it’s airing the same day and at the same ceremony as ’War Wolf’!"

"Dude, this is legit aiming for a beatdown, ’War Wolf’ is totally screwed this time!"

"Yeah, Hong Tianyi’s move was savage. ’Three Lives of Love’ was already packed with big names, they didn’t leave any room for ’War Wolf’ to survive!"

"It’s harsh but true, the market is a battlefield, and this time there’s no saving it. With the cast of ’Three Lives of Love’, except for Miss Ice Princess, it’s basically game over! I bet the movie will make over a hundred million on the first day!"

"First day breaking a hundred million? With that star power, it should make at least one hundred fifty million!"

"I’m thinking at least two hundred million!"

Netizens were buzzing, and around this time, the main actors of ’Three Lives of Love’ also started setting the pace.

The first to tweet was naturally the male lead Yang Haiyang: "Dear fans, ’Three Lives of Love’ has just wrapped up filming. I believe you all know the specific release date by now. Hope everyone will go to the theaters to support the official release, thank you."—Shares 51244, Comments 65414, Likes 897415.

Below, fans were quick to respond: "Mission accepted! MONEY is ready!" "Let’s group up and go!" "Don’t worry, idol, we’ll definitely support you!"

Following close behind was Liu Feifei: "It’s been a tough more than three months, really rushed the process, got up early and returned late, hardly had a good sleep, I feel a lot more worn out. But compared to what I’ve gained, it’s nothing, I’ve poured a lot of passion into this movie, I believe it will make everyone satisfied!"—Shares 45621, Comments 56471, Likes 874153.

Her fans were just as supportive as Yang Haiyang’s: "Feeling for my Fei, will definitely be there to support!" "Need you even ask? Definitely going to support her at the theaters, I believe in Fei’s capabilities!" "Feifei, you’ve worked hard, rest well now!"

Then came Yu Zhinan’s tweet: "These three months of intense shooting have been hugely rewarding. This time has been the best training for me, I hope everyone can acknowledge my efforts and support me at the cinema."

Up next were posts from the director Michael, and other crew members...

The entire internet was flooded with promotions for ’Three Lives of Love’; in contrast, the promotion for ’War Wolf’ seemed almost pitiful—after all, this is the era of fan economy. The ’War Wolf’ crew only had Yang Yunfei and Zhang Muqing, who were relatively known, but in terms of popularity, they couldn’t compare at all, not to mention overall fan numbers...

It’s a sad topic, better left unsaid...

...

"It seems this time it’s really a losing battle," Bai Yaning reclined on the couch, her two legs as pale as a baby’s, placed together, giving off a very lazy vibe.

She lightly nibbled on her hair and then sighed softly, "The difference in popularity is just too huge. This bad guy, I thought he would ask me to increase popularity, but he didn’t even mention it, what a surprise."

She meditated for a while, then suddenly shook her head, smiled, and murmured, "But it’s probably for the best. If they had asked me to act in the movie, even if we won, those old folks in the family probably wouldn’t be satisfied, but if we lost..."

Honestly, Bai Yaning was really worried about this box office battle.

After all, it was a gamble of tens of billions, even for the Bai family, that wasn’t a small figure.

Especially, what worried her most were the old family members, who would definitely make a big deal out of a loss, and then her relationship with Wang Hao would face a tremendous challenge—that was no joke!

"Checking out the news?" Bai Haochen walked over and sat next to his daughter, then leaned on the couch, adjusting to a comfortable position, he said, "Honestly, this box office battle doesn’t look optimistic at all, Hong Tianyi’s winning chances are just too high."

"I know," Bai Yaning nodded and said, "Has the family done their evaluation?"

"I’ve got it," Bai Haochen said helplessly. "According to the professional analysis team in our clan, the odds are about 97 to 3, with Wang Hao being 3."

Hearing this number, Bai Yaning couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

to 3!

Do we even need to bother?! Even a fool knows who would win with those odds!

"Is it that low?" Bai Yaning frowned. "But I think Wang Hao’s script is really good. It shouldn’t be that low, right?"

"What good does a good script do?" Bai Haochen shrugged helplessly and said, "It’s the era of fan economy now. Many viewers don’t even care if the plot is good; they just go for the actors. Honestly, when you debuted in ’Heaven’s Goddess,’ was the script any good? I thought it was just so-so, but didn’t it still make 1.2 billion at the box office? I thought this time Wang Hao would ask you to make a cameo to boost the popularity, but that damn kid didn’t even mention it."

"Sigh, this guy, he’s actually looking out for me," Bai Yaning said with a mix of frustration and amusement, "According to him, the conditions in Africa are too harsh, and he was worried I might get hurt or sunburned or something. What could I do?"

"That kid has his decent moments," Bai Haochen mentioned, and laughed heartily, "I can’t even bear to let my precious daughter face any danger, and he’s not wrong about that. But this time, I’m afraid there’s not much hope. Let’s just accept the loss; it’s not like we can’t afford to lose. It’s just that the old folks in the family don’t know about your relationship with Wang Hao yet. Once they do, and with such a huge loss this time, it could be a bit of trouble."

"Hmph," Bai Yaning snorted, "They can’t dictate my life!"

"Of course I know that," Bai Haochen nodded, and then said, "Let’s just see how the box office goes this time. Hopefully, it won’t be too devastating..."

...

At this moment, everyone on the internet was filled with anticipation for this box office battle, though they held no hope for the outcome.

After all, the disparity in strength between the two sides was just too great, not something that could be evened out easily.

In the ’War Wolf’ film crew group chat.

Yang Yunfei: "The situation is really unfavorable for us right now. Has Brother Hao arrived yet?"

Ren Xing: "Scared? With Brother Hao making a move, we own the world. Just let those guys be arrogant for a couple of days!"

Wang Mengfei: "I can’t speak for others, but I can guarantee the special effects will be on par with Hollywood. The rest is up to Brother Hao."

Zhang Muqing: "It’s actually not that bad. With the quality of this film, I think 500 million is not a problem."

Right then, Wang Hao appeared, "How is everyone’s preparation? We can consider running promotions around these two days."

Yang Yunfei: "Brother Hao’s here! Brother Hao, do you think we can make it to 500 million?"

million?

With ’War Wolf 2,’ not just 500 million, even adding a zero would be too little!

Even in his highly developed previous life’s movie industry, ’War Wolf 2’ had garnered nearly 6 billion at the box office. How could it be just 500 million in this world?!

But after all, Wu Jing was already a big star before ’War Wolf 2’ in his previous life, and there was the box office foundation of ’War Wolf 1,’ so Wang Hao really couldn’t say for sure how much it would make now.

Hopefully, it won’t flop.

Wang Hao: "Who knows, the film is releasing tomorrow, so we’ll find out then?"
