Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

Chapter 122 The Bet: First Day Box Office Results!

"You want me to join your company?"

Liu Yifei felt much more awake, opened her eyes wide, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Currently, she has her own agency, but it's better than nothing, only helping with some simple tasks, unlike other agencies that are as powerful.

After all, many productions now directly involve her and her agent, and the company is just a formality with little practical use.

In fact, if that company didn't say it was related to Liu Yifei, probably many people wouldn't even know!

Although her company wasn't very useful, it still existed.

If I really join, then I'll have to give up my original people and things.

Besides, joining Mingbei's company doesn't feel much different from what I'm doing now!

"Let me explain," Mingbei said, putting his arm around her. "First of all, if you join my company, the public relations will definitely be better than before. The old team was, to put it nicely, laid-back, but to put it bluntly, they weren't very effective!"

"Furthermore, if you join my company, you'll definitely receive more resources, have better control over content, and be more selective in your censorship. We won't easily accept bad films..."

'

This is not nonsense. After the Four Great Constables series, nine out of ten movies starring Liu Yifei are bad movies!

With such terrible word-of-mouth, the box office performance was naturally not going to be good either!

Times changed afterward, and it wasn't so easy to get by anymore.

Even top-tier actresses, given this background, could suffer a severe blow if they make the wrong choice!

Liu Yifei starred in several films that flopped, leading some to label her a box office poison. Ultimately, she turned her attention back to television.

Instead, it was within the comfort zone of the television industry that it revitalized itself.

After that, she didn't appear in many movies.

If Mingbei gets involved now, they definitely won't accept bad films anymore.

And we will do our best to help her make a name for herself in the film industry.

"As for the commission, given our relationship, it'll just be a token amount; it'll definitely be worth the money!"

Listening to Mingbei's analysis, Liu Yifei was somewhat tempted.

Being able to work at the same company as Mingbei is beneficial for their closer relationship.

Of course, there will also be some negative comments.

If she really joins, it will definitely be assumed that the two have a private relationship.

Otherwise, why would a top-tier actress join such an unknown company?

I need to think about it...

'

Liu Yifei did not agree immediately, but said she would think about it.

"Actually, we could announce the collaboration after 'Detective Chinatown' is released and becomes a success," Mingbei immediately said. "That way, we can definitely shut down a lot of gossip!"

If Detective Chinatown is successful, then in the public eye, the collaboration between the two will be seen more as a work-related activity.

The premise is that Detective Chinatown has to perform well.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei pondered for a moment, then changed the subject to another question, "What kind of achievements do you think the Four Great Constables can achieve?"

"It should be passable," Mingbei said calmly. "The cast is alright, and the plot is passable, just above average. It can attract a certain audience, but it's not a work that can appeal to all ages."

In terms of subject matter, The Four Great Constables is somewhat limited, and female audiences may not be particularly interested in watching it.

Liu Yifei has many female fans, which should attract a large following.

Mingbei is also used as a selling point to attract female fans.

But this power is actually limited. Essentially, your content needs to be truly attractive and have the potential to spread widely in order to achieve high box office returns.

"How about we make a bet?" Mingbei said with a mysterious smile. "Let's bet on the box office of the movie. Whoever's numbers are closer, we'll go with whoever's."

Oh?

These words piqued Liu Yifei's interest. "Judging from your tone, you're clearly very confident!"

"I can only say I'm more confident than my wife!"

The word "my dear wife" made Liu Yifei's heart flutter, but she immediately frowned, pouted, and thought for a moment, "That's fine, but you have to say so first!"

Mingbei smirked, "Then I'll just say one number: 2 million!"

Upon hearing this number, Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "So high?"

Although she had high hopes for the film, she didn't expect it to gross 2 million yuan.

After all, in the current film market, breaking 100 million is already a very good performance.

"Then I'll guess lower, 1.8 million!"

Liu Yifei's expectations were also slightly raised, but not by much, and she mentioned a figure of 1.8 million.

"Okay, then we'll see how well the movie performs at the box office!"

The two made a pact by high-fiving, agreeing that their decision on whether to join Mingbei's company would be based on the film's box office performance.

For Liu Yifei, whether she joins or not doesn't really make much of a difference.

If they join, their relationship will become even closer.

As for the speculation from the outside world, what's wrong with having a boyfriend, especially since he's so good-looking? Normal fans would send their blessings.

Sometimes, fans aren't against watching their idols date, but they can't stand seeing them date someone of low quality.

If Mingbei were to have better qualifications than Liu Yifei, most fans wouldn't have much of an opinion.

Of course, some male fans will be heartbroken, which is unavoidable and normal.

"By the way, do you have any other artists in your company right now?"

"Yes, there are..."

"Look at you stammering, is your ex-girlfriend among these celebrities?!"

"Now there are only three of us besides me. Tang Wei is impossible, and Xiao Di is still a girl. Only your relative Liu Xinyou has contact with her..."

"6

"Pah, what a scumbag!"

"Since you put it that way, then I'll contact you every day from now on, four or five times a day, and I won't contact anyone else!"

Liu Yifei was instantly shocked. "Hey, hey, that's too much! Give them a break!"

"You picked it, idol!"

The pre-release publicity for "The Four Great Constables" was quite effective, at least attracting viewers who wanted to see the movie.

The subject matter itself is attractive to boys, plus the cast looks decent, and Liu Yifei is also in it.

The promotional release of Mingbei's promotional photos can also attract young women.

Therefore, after the premiere, major cinemas quickly rolled out the program, and audiences flocked in, soon receiving positive feedback on the box office results!

"Wow, the opening day box office is pretty good, you could even call it a great start!"

"Looks like we can break even!"

Once the director received the data, he immediately shared the good news with everyone.

Liu Yifei also cares a lot about box office performance, because it is not only related to her career, but also to her future direction.

"With a box office of over 18 million on the first day, if this growth rate continues, wouldn't the box office in the first week exceed 100 million?"
