Chapter 92: "Operation Mekong" Premieres! Breaks Records on Opening Day! (Second Update - Please Follow)
"Haha, it's a reversal!"

"I told you so! Let the bullets fly for a while!"

"I really didn't expect it. It's disgusting. They even deliberately took off their clothes during the interview."

"vomit!"

"Haha, Director Song is so cute, he even put an advertisement for 'Operation Mekong' in the last sentence of his Weibo post."

"Director Song is a real man; he settles his scores on the spot!"

"There are just too many short posts on Weibo now, and the cost of spreading rumors is too low."

"It's alright. Director Song has cleaned up the entertainment industry for us. This time he's suing for defamation and slander. If he wins, he'll at least have to serve a few years in jail."

However, some netizens chose to believe Li Lu.

"Who knows if this video has been digitally manipulated?!"

"That's right, we should all help each other!"

At this point, more and more netizens joined the discussion.

But it took less than half a day.

Chaoyang police then took Li Lu and Donggua away.

A statement for the day was released soon after.

Write down their motives and the process of their crimes in detail.

At the same time, the Narcotics Bureau's legal department also helped Song Hao preserve the evidence and had it notarized.

This time.

Netizens couldn't sit still any longer.

If some people were still stubborn and believed that Li Lu was wronged,

Now that the police have issued a statement, everyone believes it.

"Damn it! Can these people who write such long essays just disappear already?!"

"They spread rumors all the time. We support Director Song in taking legal action to protect his rights!"

"Take them to prison!"

"To be honest, it takes a lot of effort to refute rumors. If I were to be falsely accused in a public place, like the subway, I wouldn't know what to do."

"I knew it! How could such a virtuous person in the entertainment industry fall from grace? I reckon that right now, the only one in the entertainment industry who truly represents positive energy is Director Song."

Song Hao naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to generate buzz.

He immediately posted on Weibo: "This matter will now be handled entirely by the police and lawyers. I believe they can deliver a fair and just result. Actually, I posted this Weibo with a personal motive: everyone must support 'Operation Mekong'!"

"Hahaha! Director Song is so cute. Even when he was framed, he still didn't forget to promote the movie!"

"I must support him! After this incident, I completely trust Director Song's character!"

"That's right, he would never do something like that!"

"Anyway, everyone else in the Chinese entertainment industry has had their scandals fall, but his won't!"

"To be honest, these two are idiots. Director Song is the director of the official promotional video. Instead of trying to ride on his popularity, they just have no guts."

"That Li Lu graduated from a vocational school, and that paparazzi only graduated from junior high school. They didn't think much before they just made a snap decision and did it."

In the WeChat group.

Many people are making fun of Song Hao.

Zhang Yixing: [Director Song, that was a brilliant move! I've wanted to do that for a long time.]

Jin Chen: [Yi Xing, you can't do that. Only Director Song would be so ruthless, directly responding to the person involved.]

Wang Chuanjun: [The entertainment industry is now rife with these unhealthy trends. Director Song did a good job of rectifying it! Making an example of him will hopefully prevent such outrageous rumors from happening again.]

Song Hao: [Haha, just making a small contribution, mainly to kick things off and prevent others from jumping on the bandwagon.]

As this scandal involving someone trying to gain attention and create a rumor came to an end, many netizens became familiar with Song Hao.

This also elevated the publicity of "Operation Mekong" to a new level.

at last.

With unprecedented publicity, "Operation Mekong" is about to be released.

Before its release, many bloggers and social media influencers were predicting the film's box office performance.

Free Bird: [I predict the opening day box office should reach around 1.6 million!]

A happy day: [I previously thought it would gross 1.4 million, but the scandal a couple of days ago made Director Song famous again, so "Operation Mekong" should gross 1.9 million.]

I love boobs: [I estimate it's 2 million!]

Everyone seems to have high expectations for "Operation Mekong" and there is a good box office prediction.

But you can't know a person's true strength without going to the battlefield. Only when the movie is released can you know its actual box office performance.

Just in time!
Operation Mekong has officially premiered!
Director Long also led the entire team to watch the event together.

For promotional films like our own, the higher authorities have already issued a notice to organize domestic viewings.

Even though everyone has already seen it once, watching it again in the theater still evokes strong emotions.

Song Hao's previous two films achieved good box office success.

On its opening day, "Operation Mekong" achieved a remarkable 30% share of screenings in theaters!

It's one of the top three movies in terms of screenings this season!
This finally avoided the problem of limited screenings on the opening day.

In the WeChat group for "Operation Mekong".

Zhang Hanyu and Peng Yuyan were delighted to see such a large share of screenings.

Peng Yu-yan: [I think it can reach 2 million on the first day!]

Zhang Hanyu: [Let's not jump to conclusions; let's let things develop for a while.]

Peng Yuyan: [Director Song, I'm curious about your guess?]

Song Hao: [I think it should be able to break the opening day box office record.]

This statement surprised everyone.

It's worth noting that the record for the highest first-day box office in China during the first half of the year was 2.4 million yuan.

Is "Operation Mekong" really that good?

People found it hard to believe.

Song Hao wasn't worried about this at all.

He knew that the previous film, "Operation Mekong," was a critical and commercial success in 16.

However, he also clearly recalled that "Operation Mekong" was not initially well-received and had a low screening rate in theaters.

On the first day of the National Day holiday, its box office performance was significantly lower than that of "I Belonged to You" and "L.O.R.D.: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties".

However, starting from the second day, "Operation Mekong" began to gain momentum, surpassing "L.O.R.D.: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties" to become the second highest-grossing film of the day.

On October 4th, "Operation Mekong" became the box office champion of the day and has remained at the top ever since.

So if the theaters had given more screenings at the beginning, the box office could have been even higher.

Even if this movie were released a few years later, its box office would still double.

Now, we have the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

There is no reason why "Operation Mekong" should lose to its previous achievements.

Sure enough, as time went on...

The real-time box office figures are constantly rising.

After the first session ended, people on Douban started rating and discussing it.

"It's so shocking!"

"This is the best crime thriller in China, bar none!"

"When I saw that the drug enforcement officer had his leg crippled by the child soldier and had no choice but to have it amputated, I burst into tears."

"Now I finally understand why Director Song made this movie. He wanted us to always remember that there are always people silently protecting us."

"I won't allow anyone to not have seen this movie!"

Among tens of thousands of ratings.

Only 0.1% of netizens gave it four stars.

The remaining 99.9% of people gave it a five-star rating!
The rating even reached 9.6!

Not only that.

The issue is also gaining traction online.

On Weibo and WeChat, many people proactively wrote "highly recommended" after watching the film.

There are several topics on Zhihu forum discussing "Operation Mekong", among which the discussion about "hidden details" has nearly a thousand answers.

The overwhelmingly positive online reviews quickly spurred a surge in offline moviegoing.

Box office revenue also soared.

Finally, the time stopped at midnight.

The box office reached 2.52 million yuan on its opening day!
Record broken!
