Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 720: Sold to a club?
This video garnered praise from many fans online, making everyone very excited.

Wow! This background music is the movie's theme song! That's awesome!

"The blogger is really amazing, truly a loyal fan of my brother Yang!"

"Yang Ge's fans are all very talented, but I'm the only one who's become 'disabled'!"

"Haha, upstairs, do you need someone to feed you? That's hilarious!"

"This editing is really good, can I share it?"

"This is amazing! After watching this video, I've decided to watch it again!"

"..."

Soon, this video, which edited together classic scenes from "The Legend of Zu," went viral on major domestic platforms.

Foreign viewers were also captivated by the film's special effects and plot, and many left comments asking which movie it was.

"A fantasy world? That's so cool! Zhou is awesome!"

"It's a movie starring Zhou! I had no idea!"

"What's the name of this movie? The special effects are amazing! But it's a bit different from Hollywood sci-fi movies!"

"The person upstairs is right! This is Zhou's new film, 'The Legend of Zu'! I've seen it, and it's really good!"

"Zhou's new work? That puts my mind at ease! I'll go check it out this afternoon!"

"Oh my god! This movie is flawless; the plot, special effects, and acting are all impeccable!"

"..."

Online, many foreign netizens were deeply attracted by the film's editing, leading to a significant increase in cinema ticket sales.

John was surprised by this, not expecting Zhou Yang's fantasy films to be so popular overseas, since this type of film often struggles to gain a foothold in foreign markets.

However, the rapid growth in box office revenue surprised him greatly.

Zhou Yang is practically his "secret to wealth"!
John immediately called his subordinates and quickly increased the screening volume to 45%!

What followed was a shocking scene in the movie theater: crowds of people rushed to buy tickets, and the theater was almost full.

Sure enough, on the third day, the global box office figures were released, showing astonishing growth!
The Legend of Zu Mountain grossed over $2 million worldwide on its opening day!
This growth rate excited Gu Tianle so much that he immediately made a phone call.

As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Gu Tianle has been active in the industry since he was a child, but his level of excitement this time really surprised him.

"Zhou Yang! That data... is absolutely astonishing!"

Gu Tianle stammered a little because he was excited, which made Zhou Yang laugh.

"I saw that too! But the subsequent box office data will truly determine everything!"

Zhou Yang's reminder calmed Gu Tianle down; it was indeed true.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two hung up the phone, and Zhou Yang went out to eat.

……

On the fourth day, "The Legend of Zu" reached a global box office of $2.5 million!

On the fifth day, the global box office of "The Legend of Zu" increased to $2.8 million!

……

A week later, the popularity of "The Legend of Zu" remained high, and its ratings abroad also rose.

IMDb gave "The Legend of Zu" a high score of 8.6!!

Without exception, all the comments praised the special effects and acting!

Just as Zhou Yang was eagerly anticipating, the global box office figures for "The Legend of Zu" in its opening week have been released!
It grossed $13.5 billion worldwide in its opening weekend!

This is absolutely the pinnacle of fantasy films!
It not only broke the opening week box office record for fantasy films, but also planted the seeds of fantasy films in the hearts of movie fans at home and abroad.

In the WeChat group, everyone was having a heated discussion. Zhang Baizhi excitedly shouted, "My God! 'The Legend of Zu' has grossed 13.5 billion yuan in its opening week!"

Gu Tianle responded: "That's amazing! It's all thanks to Zhou Yang's support, hahaha! He's truly a box office draw!"

Zhou Yang humbly said, "This is the result of the joint efforts of the entire team! @Zhang Baizhi @Gu Tianle, you guys have worked hard too!"

Gu Tianle laughed and said, "I didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, I was having a great time!"

Zhang Baizhi said, "I should thank everyone the most! As a newcomer, I really don't deserve this!"

Zhou Yang encouraged him, "Don't be so modest!"

……

Zhang Baizhi's words make sense. She was able to take on a leading role in Zhou Yang's new film right after her debut, and the film achieved great success, which boosted her market value.

Even more exciting news is that "The Legend of Zu" was taken off the screens a month later!

The film ultimately grossed a staggering $23 billion!

This data left directors who had made fantasy films feeling incredibly frustrated, and they couldn't help but shed tears after seeing it.

Zhou Yang has indeed led a new trend in fantasy films, allowing more people to understand this genre.

At the same time, "The Legend of Zu" also became the highest-grossing fantasy film in Chinese film history!
The final box office for "Jade Dynasty" was only $2.3 million!

The losses were devastating, to the point that people couldn't even afford underwear!

As the producer, Xiao Zhan's parent company, Golden Gate Entertainment, never expected that the film's box office would be less than half of its investment.

When the secretary delivered the contract, the head of Jinmen Entertainment realized that because of Xiao Zhan, their company had suffered heavy losses and was facing a bankruptcy crisis!

The company had already spent a considerable amount of money compensating the brand owners, and now the box office failure has made its financial situation seem like a bottomless pit, leaving it in despair.

Zhou Yang also heard that Xiao Zhan had been sold to the White Horse Club at a low price, which surprised him quite a bit.

The White Horse Club's customers were mostly wealthy women and business tycoons, so Xiao Zhan's life there was predictably miserable, no less so than being blacklisted.

However, there aren't many kind-hearted people in the world who care about those who have hurt them.

At the same time, Zhou Yang's phone kept ringing, and messages kept popping up in the WeChat group.

In WeChat groups,
Old Hu said, "This movie was absolutely fantastic! Let's treat everyone to dinner! It's been so long since we've had a get-together!"

Huang Xiaobo responded: "Congratulations! Eating isn't the most important thing, the main thing is that the box office is just too high!"

Wu Jing then said, "As expected of my Brother Yang, right? You can't skip a meal!"

Guo Fan continued, "What are you all talking about? Brother Yang isn't that kind of person! Let's begin the celebration banquet!"

Zhou Yang responded: "Looks like everyone's waiting for me here. See you at the usual spot!"

When Baoqiang arrived, he said, "Oh dear, I'm late! I just made it in time for dinner, that's really something!"

……

Zhou Yang looked at the chat history on his phone and couldn't help but smile. It had been several months since they last met.

The next day, Zhou Yang drove to a high-end restaurant.

This restaurant is not a chain; rather, the owner is a very laid-back person and an industry insider, so he is not short of funds.

However, the cost of living here is quite high, with the average cost per person starting at 10,000 yuan.

Of course, the service quality is also impeccable.

After Zhou Yang parked his car downstairs at the restaurant, a waiter immediately came forward to help him drive the car into the parking space.

Zhou Yang felt very relieved. The waiter was slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Yang, and then took him to the reserved private room.

Lao Hu, Huang Xiaobo, and others were already waiting there, as enthusiastic as the hosts.
