Murong Juan and Shang Feifei both think that the plot twist serves the movie's storyline rather than just for box office.
But Liang Qiu and Yang Qing think that the episode is serving the box office, of course, they also agree that the episode has the effect of enriching the plot, but they don't think this effect can be compared with increasing the box office.
Both sides came and went, saying that many filmmakers also joined in, originally just talking about Shanggui's affairs, but eventually became a carnival for the entire film industry.
Of course, although it's a carnival for filmmakers, everyone still hasn't departed from Shang Phi's "Silence".
According to Zhuo Mu's director, with the addition of Shang Fei Fei's song "Mo" as an interlude, "Waiting" will become more rich and smooth, this story connection is good, and the box office will be higher?
Yang Qing was determined to make Shang Fei's reputation ruined, so when the two sides were fighting fiercely, he still dragged the topic to this aspect.
Murong Juan saw Yang Qing like this, her eyebrows slightly condensed, and said: "That's right, with the song 'Silent', 'Waiting' will indeed be sublimated, and the box office of 'Waiting' will definitely be much higher."
Muyong Juan has slowly warmed up, Yang Qing secretly delighted, and continued: "Can it be higher than 'Laughing in Love'?"
This question has pitfalls.
Saying that "Laughing in the Wind" did not have high box office is equivalent to belittling one's own movie, but every movie is like one's own child, and Mu Yunkuan does not think her own movies are bad.
It's unrealistic to say that "Laughing in Love" has high box office earnings.
"Waiting" is a slightly artistic film, such films rarely have high box office sales, while "Laughing Love" is a comedy movie, and comedy movies have a large audience, it's very difficult to surpass it in terms of box office.
Murong Juan had already somewhat understood Yang Qing's intentions, but she was a person who didn't admit defeat. Seeing Yang Qing being so provocative, she said: "I believe that the box office of 'Waiting' will not be worse than 'Smiling and Loving', not only in terms of box office, but also in connotation, it is absolutely not inferior."
Murong Juan made such a statement, Yang Qing knew that his purpose had been achieved. Murong Juan said so, Liang Qiu would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and Liang Qiu was not someone who liked to admit defeat either.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, no sooner had Murong Juan finished speaking than Liang Qiu began to express her stance on Weibo.
"I have always been very respectful of Director Murong, but if you say something like that, I won't be able to agree. How could the box office for 'Laughing and Loving' possibly be lower than yours? Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Murong Juan saw Liang Qiu say this, said: "I don't think it's funny, because everything is possible, I just think that 'Waiting' is better than 'Laughing and Loving'."
Li Qiu said: "Is Director Murong daring enough to make a bet with me? After the movie is released, let's see whose box office is higher. Whoever has the higher box office wins, and the loser gives the winner 1 million yuan. How about it?"
Murong Juan said: "One million is too little, I bet two million, but the loser can't give the money to the winner. Before Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a China Charity Night, and the loser just needs to donate the money to those in need at that time, how about it?"
Murong Juan was quite persuasive, but Liang Qiu was very confident in his own film and quickly responded: "Alright, it's settled then."
Liang Qiu and Murong Juan made a bet on the box office results, and this matter quickly spread online.
Yang Qing saw his goal achieved, and only then did he reveal a faint smile. In his opinion, if it were up to the song, his song was indeed not as good-sounding as Shang Fei Fei's "Silence".
So from a musical standpoint alone, he can't win.
But if music and movies are linked together, as long as the box office of "Laughing Love" is higher than that of "Waiting", it can also prove from the side that his song is better than Shang Fei Fei's.
It can even make people feel that Yang Qiru is the box office appeal, as long as whose movie uses his song, this movie will be a huge success.
As long as people have such an idea, then he Yang Qi can take advantage of it.
He also believes that people will have such thoughts, because the whole thing happened just because he and Shang Fei had a falling out over song matters.
If "Laughing Love" has a high box office, then the audience will have such an idea. In fact, for many people, they can't tell whether music is good or bad.
Yang Qingda achieved his goal, but he apparently thought things were too simple, because Liang Qiu was not a person to be taken advantage of.
Just as Yang Qing was secretly rejoicing, Liang Qiu suddenly visited.
"Liáng Dǎo, how did you get here?" Yang Qing was somewhat surprised.
"Teacher Yang, because of you, I'm now betting with Murong Juan. Do you think I'm being very righteous?"
Yang Qing didn't understand what Liang Qiu meant, but still hurriedly said: "Director Liang is righteous, really righteous."
"As long as you think I'm being righteous, that's all that matters. I'm doing this for your sake, but if we lose, Yang Laoshi will probably have to pay a price in blood."
Yang Qing was taken aback and asked, "What does Director Liang mean?"
"The idea is simple, it's just hoping that Teacher Yang will promote 'Laughing Love' more in the future, and not let its box office be less than 'Waiting'. If we win, we won't have any losses. But if we lose, these two million, please ask Teacher Yang to pay half of it, how about that?"
Yang Qing's expression changed slightly, one million he could afford, but this money he didn't want to pay out, it was Liang Qiu who made a bet with someone and lost, now he had to pay up, what kind of thing was this?
"Liáng dǎo, isn't this a bit out of line." Yang Qing smiled and then used the remote control to turn on the music in his own home. The music slowly spread throughout the room, very beautiful, making people feel relaxed. Yang Qing wanted to defeat Liang Qiu psychologically.
But he obviously underestimated Liang Qiu.
"You just said I'm being very kind, and I am being very kind, you should show some appreciation. Of course, if you don't agree, that's fine too. I think your song 'Love Secrets' isn't quite suitable as an insert song for 'Smiling in Love', I was thinking of replacing it with another one."
Yang Qing wanted to use "Laughing Love" to gain popularity, but Liang Qiu had already seen through his plan. Since he saw through it, he naturally also had a way to deal with Yang Qing.
Liang Qiu obviously had the upper hand, as Yang Qing's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and then immediately turned off the music.
Yang Qing went to great lengths to stir up this matter, and in order to stir it up, he even risked being boycotted and scolded by netizens. If Liang Qiu changed his song, wouldn't Yang have done all that work for someone else?
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
The results of his efforts should also be his.
Thinking of "Laughing Love", a very market-oriented film, it shouldn't lose to "Waiting", Yang Qing immediately burst out laughing: "Director Liang said laugh, you said it, I admit it, I admit it..."
