In addition, there were many Little Cis. They were all old fans who had started families long ago, so the lottery was even stranger. There was a washing machine, an air conditioner, a fridge, a feather blanket, a silk blanket, a sofa, all kinds of bed-related products, daily necessities, furniture, cosmetics, accessories, and food. There was a variety of items that dazzled one’s eyes.
Since Ling Sheng had nothing to do, she left comments and shared the lottery posts one by one. Perhaps she would win. However, the last requirement for the lottery was to watch the movie to confirm the ticket stubs.
Unfortunately, watching the movie would have to wait two days. This was because all the tickets in the first two days of the movie’s release had been booked by a tycoon on Weibo called “Father-In-Law’s Movie Do Well” across all the big movie theaters in China, and the number of screenings for “Yellow River Killer” had reached more than 150%.
In order to make it easier for fans to watch the movie, the tycoon had specially developed a phone app. Two days before the movie premiered, the audience could watch it for free as long as they made an appointment online by using their real name.
In the past two days, the topics on the Weibo account #Father-In-Law’s Movie Do Well# were numerous. Everyone was guessing what kind of wealth this person had. Had Huo Ci already gotten married and had a child?
The Little Cis analyzed the situation. Logically speaking, it should be a joke. Old Huo did not even have a girlfriend, so how could he have a daughter?
Besides, Huo Ci had many friends, including countless rich people. Everyone just treated it as a joke. Perhaps one of his wealthy friends was joking about it just to support his movie.
After all, this had happened before. Two years ago, when Huo Ci’s new movie had been released, Teacher Lu had done the same thing. He had registered a small account called “Huo Ci Kneeled Down and Called Me Daddy” and invited the entire country’s audience to watch the premiere and support the box office.
However, there were also netizens who expressed their doubts and rebutted what the Cis said. Between good friends, especially people with a tight relationship like theirs, it was more likely to call one daddy. However, who would lower their seniority and call him father-in-law out of boredom?
Besides, this rich person was much more generous than Teacher Lu and Teacher Bai. Teacher Lu had booked tickets to see the premiere, allowing the first two days to be free-to-watch.
Given Best Actor Huo’s appeal at the box office and the popularity of the movie itself, he estimated that the first day’s box office earnings would not be lower than 500 million. There was definitely a chance of breaking the record of 600 million yuan per day.
Two days ago, an estimate had been made by Bug-Eyed Movies: 1.3 billion. That meant that this big boss’s son-in-law must have spent 1.3 billion in two days. It would really be spending money like water, as if it were nothing. This support was definitely hardcore.
In the eye-catching red Ferrari, Xiaoqi looked at the dark-faced big shot in the driver’s seat and said in a small voice, “Grandpa, let’s just watch the movie for free.”
Huo Ci had been searching theaters for some time, but there were only movie theaters that screened it for free. He was in a bad mood, so he was naturally fuming. When he heard Xiaoqi’s words, he exploded. “F*ck, who was the one who wanted to support my movie’s box office? How can you support me when it’s free? I take care of your board and lodging, but you can’t even bear to spend some money on me, right?”
Xiaoqi was already used to being shouted at. He was not afraid no matter how loudly he shouted. He looked up at him seriously and muttered worriedly, “Grandpa, Xiaoqi invited you to watch a movie, but what if we can’t find a theater that charges money?”
He had saved up his pocket money and promised to contribute to the box office when Grandpa’s movie was released. He had invited him to watch a movie, but in those cinemas, one could watch Grandpa’s movie without spending money.
