Chapter 112

The current film market is indeed hard-pressed to accommodate two thirty-million-yuan films at the same time. One very important reason why Liu Zhou and Feng Kuzi's movies were both able to rake in such high box office numbers last time was that their release dates were spaced nearly twenty days apart. On top of that, their public mudslinging had blown up into a massive spectacle; neither the media nor the audiences in Mainland China had ever witnessed two public figures bickering with each other like ordinary people. Consequently, everyone found it refreshingly novel, the media was eager to report on it, and the audience loved watching the drama unfold. But the audience isn't stupid—if the two of you have new movies coming out now and start making a racket all over again, everyone will see right through the publicity stunt. While pulling this trick a second time might still yield results, it ultimately exhausts people's goodwill toward you.
