Chapter 396: 395. Do you know what it means to be domineering?

Originally, this was supposed to be good news, but there will always be someone on the internet who takes a different path, so there emerged a refined and elegant comment under this trending topic:

[With such high popularity, does Director Xie regret pulling the movie so early?]

[For a Spring Festival movie like "Heroes in Troubled Times," if the box office remains high, most would choose to extend the screening period. However, Director Xie opted to withdraw it, wonder what he’s feeling now?]

What’s the man of the hour feeling?

In the WeChat group of the "Heroes in Troubled Times" crew, because of this trending topic and comment, everyone was blown out of the water.

[Liu Yun]: "These people really have too much free time, meddling in everything. It’s obviously up to us to decide whether to withdraw the movie or not, what’s it to them?"

[Martial Arts Instructor-Sun Yu]: "They’re talking smack about us withdrawing early? Where are their manners?"

[Wen Xin]: "Of course, we know the movie is still hot, but who dictated that one must keep it on the screens if it’s trending? This way, all our goodwill will be completely worn out."

[Best Actor Qiao]: "This person obviously never studied ’Analytical School.’ Pulling it now is when our reputation is at its best. Not only is there the term ’timely loss-cutting,’ there’s also ’timely profit-taking.’"

[Liu Yun]: "But on another note, I do want to know what Director Xie thinks? hhhhhhh~~~"

[Best Actor Qiao]: "May I ask, Director Xie, what are your thoughts?"

...

And so, the group was immediately flooded with this question, and Director Xie, who was named, had no choice but to step up and drop a screenshot.

When everyone opened the screenshot out of curiosity, they found...

Their very own Director Xie, at some point, climbed onto Weibo and left a message under that hot comment.

[Xie Yunfeng VIP: No thoughts, got plenty of money.]

Everyone: "..."

As everyone knows, the biggest investor in "Heroes in Troubled Times" is Xie Yunfeng.

And even more well-known is that in the entertainment industry, and indeed the whole internet, who doesn’t know about the solid backing behind Director Xie?

So there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

I just don’t feel like making more money, so what about it?

[Martial Arts Instructor-Sun Yu]: "Holy shit, these words are freaking savage!"

[Liu Yun]: "I bow down to no one but you!"

[Sister Woon]: "The original poster probably died of anger in the bathroom."

Even Tang Shu, upon seeing the message, couldn’t help but respond with six dots back to the group.

And on the internet, thanks to Xie Yunfeng’s comment, the comments under the original poster’s message exploded once again!

[Whoa, whoa, is Director Xie this badass? Going hard against them like this!]

[The problem is, not only did he go all out, but he won too!!!]

[hhhhhhh~~~ Badass PLUS——]

[Director Xie: I’ve got money, don’t want to earn more, thank you.]

[The strongest showing off ever, without a doubt!]

[This is high-level showing off for sure, anyone else saying this I’d think they were bragging, but only my Director Xie!]

[Know what dominance is? This is it!]

[I’m dying, does the poster dare to face off? I support you, come on, round two!]

While the netizens were endlessly stirring things up, the people involved were already celebrating in the crew’s group chat:

[Director Xie]: "Heroes in Troubled Times" has successfully claimed the Spring Festival box office crown, everyone has worked hard."

Afterwards, he symbolically sent out three big red packets in the group.

With the notification sound going off, many people got excited as they claimed their red packets.

[Liu Yun]: "This is fantastic! I’ve been runner-up every year, and this time I finally got to be part of a champion drama, feels awesome!"

[Martial Arts Instructor-Sun Yu]: "4.6 billion! It has already surpassed Director Xie’s previous record of 4.2 billion. Things are about to get lively again, hahahaha!"
