Chapter 280
Just coming out of the banquet hall, Lin Bin felt a little urgent to urinate, "You two wait a minute, I'll go and drain the water."
"You're the only one with a lot of trouble, hurry up." Xia Mo urged.
Lin Bin: "Lao Xia, if you can't wait any longer, please leave first. I'll just go with Manqing."
Xia Mo rolled her eyes at him, naturally refusing to let him succeed.
Lin Bin had no choice but to go to the bathroom alone.
As soon as I came out of the water, a tall, hot-looking beauty wearing a black dress walked towards me.
Seeing that the other party did not look like an ordinary person, Lin Bin took a second look, especially at the unfathomable altitude.
Ran Yili had just come out of the bathroom and was about to leave the hotel when she saw a young man in his twenties staring at her several times, and she suddenly felt disgusted.
She immediately frowned, "What are you looking at?"
Hearing the unkind tone of the other party, Lin Bin was also a little unhappy, "What's wrong? Why don't you dress like this and not let others see you?"
"Hmph! How I want to dress is my business, not yours."
"Haha, I'm really afraid that rich people won't see me, and I'm afraid that poor people will see me."
Lin Bin laughed and mocked.
This wasn't a big deal at first, but the tone of the other person's words made me feel uncomfortable. Moreover, he was so powerful, so what happened if he looked at her twice?
Ran Yili felt even more displeased when she saw that the other party did not recognize her. She glared at the young man fiercely and turned around to leave.
Lin Bin also relied on his common sense and deliberately stayed two steps behind, also walking towards the hotel entrance.
Xia Mo and Zhou Manqing were waiting for Lin Bin in the hotel lobby when they suddenly saw a beautiful woman walking towards them and were stunned.
"Ran Yili!"
After all, Xia Mo has been in the entertainment industry, and now Warner and Tianma Entertainment are in a hostile relationship, so he can recognize the person at a glance.
Ran Yili also recognized Xia Mo and couldn't avoid it, so she nodded, "Mr. Xia, hello."
Xia Mo's eyes rolled rapidly. Although she didn't know why Ran Yili was here, she was a movie queen and an artist from Warner Bros. after all.
As long as I win this bet, I might be able to become a member of my own company, so I spoke very politely.
"What a coincidence, Miss Ran, maybe we will become a family soon."
Ran Yili naturally knew about the bet, but she was very confident in her starring role in "Star Trek", and she also looked down on small companies like Tianma Entertainment.
"Mr. Xia, I don't think we will become a family, and Tianma Entertainment will soon be a thing of the past."
After hearing these ironic words, the smile on Xia Mo's face froze. She originally wanted to shake hands with the other party, but she took back the hand she just extended.
"Hmph! It's not yet certain who will lose and who will win. Let's see."
"Okay, let's just wait and see." Ran Yili smiled and shook her head with disdain on her face.
At this time, Lin Bin also came over. Seeing the beautiful woman talking to Xia Mo, he suddenly became curious, "Lao Xia, is this your friend? Why don't you introduce her to me?"
Ran Yili glanced at Lin Bin. Anyway, he was the man who had peeked at her just now. A trace of disgust immediately appeared on his face, "Please forgive me, I can't be a friend to everyone."
After she finished speaking, she immediately moved a few steps to the side, as if to distance herself from the person, then turned around and left.
Damn it!
Who is this woman, so cool?
"Lao Xia, who is this woman?"
"Who else could it be, Ran Yili! The star of "Star Trek" and the best actress of Warner Bros."
Lin Bin saw Xia Mo's chest rising and falling, as if he was very angry, and immediately said:
"Tch! She's just a little star, why are you dragging her around? Don't worry, Lao Xia, I will definitely take care of her after the movie is released!"
Ran Yili, who had just taken a few steps, paused and turned around immediately when she heard Lin Bin's title of 'little star' and those 'foul words'.
"Little star? Does your Tianma Entertainment have one?"
Chapter 355 Movie release, box office battle
Tianma Entertainment does not have a movie queen, and it doesn't even have many signed artists. The most famous one, Ke Xinyan, is only a first-line star, and she is still far from the diva level.
However, Lin Bin is rich!
A mere movie star is really not enough in front of such a powerful person as him.
Since Ran Yili looks down on people, there is no need for Lin Bin to show mercy to her when he speaks, "Hey, the actress is amazing. Do you believe it or not, I can make Wang Xingsi transfer your contract to Tianma Entertainment with just one sentence?"
Ran Yili immediately understood that Lin Bin was referring to the gambling between the two parties. At this moment, she had already guessed that the young man in front of her should be the boss of Tianma Entertainment.
However, she was a popular movie queen, and even Wang Xingsi didn't dare to make a mistake, while Lin Bin was just the boss of a small film and television company, and he dared to speak arrogantly.
It's simply overestimating one's capabilities.
Moreover, no matter what the outcome of this bet is, Ran Yili firmly believes that Warner will not let her go easily, because she is not for sale.
A hint of sneer immediately appeared on Ran Yili's pretty face, "It's just you? Then we'll see!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"Holy shit! With this attitude, what kind of bullshit movie queen is this!" Lin Bin looked at the other person's leaving figure and couldn't help but complain.
Xia Mo's face was gloomy, and she was obviously still angry. "Lin Bin, I don't care what method you use, this time you must win Ran Yili over, and I will teach her a lesson!"
"Okay, don't worry." Lin Bin agreed immediately, and then changed the subject, "But, Lao Xia, are you sure you can teach her a lesson? Do you want me to help?"
Xia Mo rolled her eyes immediately, but this time she didn't talk back, but nodded, "Okay! As long as you can win her over, I'll give you a chance."
"Haha, just wait and see, I will make her kneel down and sing Conquer."
Zhou Manqing on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, you two stop making trouble. The movie is about to be released, how could Ran Yili appear in Jiangcheng?"
Xia Mo's eyes turned, and she immediately remembered something, "I recently saw news on the Internet that the crew of "Star Trek" will come to Jiangcheng for the last road show.
Damn, the surname Wang must be here to disgust people on purpose!"
Lin Bin and Zhou Manqing immediately understood what she meant.
Jiangcheng is the headquarters of TT Group. Now "Star Trek" is holding the last road show in Jiangcheng, which is obviously to slap its face.
Lin Bin curled his lips, "It's too early for Lao Wang next door to be happy. It's not certain who will win or lose!"
The reason why he agreed to participate in this bet is that he has confidence in Lao Xia, and on the other hand, he wants to deal with Tang Yue's gang.
Of course, more importantly, even if he loses this bet, it's just a little money, which is not a big deal.
But if he wins, Tang Yue and his gang can't afford it.
So, no matter how fiercely his opponent jumps, Lin Bin is not panicked at all.
The next day, June 29th, there is only one day left before the movie is released.
The movie scheduling has been settled, and Xia Mo has also begun to arrange the pre-sale of "Earth Bang".
Although most netizens were not optimistic about Tianma Entertainment, the 100 million yuan of publicity expenses were not completely wasted. In addition, Zhou Manqing arranged for TT platform anchors to sell tickets, and 80 million yuan was pre-sold in just one day.
On the other hand, Zeng Kaige and Ran Yili's last road show in Jiangcheng was also a complete success.
"Mr. Tang, Tianma Entertainment started pre-sales today, and more than 80 million have been sold!"
Although the undercovers arranged by Song Xinghui were of no use, they still delivered the latest news as soon as possible.
Wang Xingsi didn't care, "It doesn't matter, it's only 80 million yuan, and our pre-sale box office is now close to 400 million!
Moreover, the movie will be released tomorrow, and we have an absolute advantage in scheduling."
Tang Yue nodded in agreement, "Okay, don't worry, we just wait to share the money now."
Hearing his words, Gu Mingda and Song Xinghui both breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them had suffered several losses from Lin Bin and lost a lot of money in succession, and the other took out 25% of Huatian Industrial's shares and gambled his life, so he was the most worried.
However, when they thought that Warner now had all the advantages, they were no longer worried.
On June 30, "The Big Bang" and "Star Trek" were released as scheduled.
Both of these are science fiction films, and they are also big productions, which instantly ignited this summer season.
With Warner's brand, coupled with sufficient early film publicity, countless fans chose to watch "Star Trek".
Science fiction films have always been a shortcoming in China, and there has never been a hit work. This time, Warner spent three years to sharpen its sword and carefully crafted "Star Trek", which can be said to be full of sincerity.
After watching the movie, countless fans applauded and believed that domestic science fiction movies have finally risen.
On the first day of the movie's release, "Star Trek" accounted for more than 38% of the screenings, while "The Big Bang" only had a pitiful 18%, more than double the difference.
In addition, the pre-sale box office of both parties was originally very different. At the end of the first day, the box office had opened up a huge gap.
"Star Trek" had a box office of 430 million on the first day and a cumulative box office of 820 million.
"Earthbang" had a box office of only 150 million on the first day and a cumulative box office of 230 million.
After seeing the statistical data, Tang Yue and his friends laughed heartily.
"Haha, we will definitely win this time!"
On the other hand, the people of Tianma Entertainment were all gloomy.
"Abin, the box office on the first day is so different, what can we do?" Zhou Manqing was worried.
Only Lin Bin could still keep calm, "Stay calm, we can win!"
On the second day, the popularity of "Star Trek" declined, with a single-day box office of 310 million and a cumulative box office of 1.13 billion.
The single-day box office of "Earthbang" did not rise or fall, and it was still 150 million, with a cumulative box office of 380 million.
The third day.
Although the single-day box office of "Star Trek" has been falling all the way, it has only 240 million left, but the cumulative box office of the two movies is getting bigger and bigger.
"Fuck! No way, are Tang Yue and his friends really going to get the upper hand this time?"
Seeing the box office gap getting bigger and bigger, Lin Bin began to feel a little unsure.
However, starting from the fourth day, the situation suddenly began to turn around.
On the fourth day, Star Trek had a single-day box office of 180 million.
