Chapter 291: Box Office Champion, Fulfilling the Promise
A week later, the holiday was over, and the box office of the three movies fell instantly.
The daily box office of "Customized by Four" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has remained between 50 million and 80 million. Only "Crazy Stone" has a stable daily box office of more than 100 million.
In the end, the total box office of "Customized by Four" was fixed at 1.8 billion, ranking third at the box office, while "Xiu Chun Knife 2" reached 1.92 billion, ranking second.
As for the champion, of course Zhang Xiao’s "Crazy Stone" received 3.115 billion, and Zhang Xiao directly made a huge profit of 1.4 billion.
After receiving the share of the box office, Zhang Fan directly donated 200 million to the Chinese Red Cross Society without saying a word, as promised.
However, the producers of "Private Customization" seem to have forgotten this matter. Not to mention the 100 million promised before, not even 1 million.
Now, Chen Gang is in bad luck, because the donation came from his mouth. Now that the producer of "Private Customization" does not admit it, everyone will naturally accuse Chen Gang.
"I have never seen such a shameless person. Chen Gang, are you still a man?"
"The 100 million I bet last year has not made any progress yet. This year I need to donate another 100 million as promised. It's so heavy. You must be addicted!"
"I finally understand what it means to give up when you speak, and that's what Chen Gang does."
"It is simply unjust to deceive the movie fans."
"People like this will do whatever it takes to get the box office. I lost my movie tickets in vain."
"Strongly request the relevant departments to investigate the false propaganda of the "Private Customization" crew."
“···”
Netizens criticized Chen Gang's Weibo one after another. However, the person involved, the director Chen Gang, just like last time, once again acted like a turtle and took a dive.
However, this time it really has nothing to do with him. The producer did agree to donate money before, but the profit from "Customized by Four" was less than 500 million. On average, the eight producers
The profit is less than 60 million.
If they spent another 100 million, their profits would be even less, so the eight producers secretly colluded and refused to admit their debt.
In this way, Chen Gang, the culprit, would have no choice but to take the blame.
For a week in a row, Chen Gang and the crew of "Customized Four" have dominated the front pages of entertainment websites, which is quite popular.
Just when everyone thought that the donation would just go away, the Chinese Red Cross directly sued the crew of "Customized by Four" to the court.
The reason is that Chen Gang and the crew conducted false propaganda in the name of charity. Seeing this, netizens set off firecrackers to celebrate.
The producer of "Customized by Four" knew that the Red Cross Society of China was doing this, and must have received support from above. How could they dare to cheat, so they directly handed over 100 million that afternoon.
When Chen Gang saw the real deal, he honestly made up for the 100 million he had lost in a bet, but in his own name.
A bet without any agreement caused Chen Gang to lose 100 million, which made him hate Zhang Xiao very much. But now Zhang Xiao can be said to be in full swing, and he has no way to deal with it.

On this day, Zhang Xiao received a call from Chen Li, the manager of Lighthouse Country: "Mr. Zhang, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Let me be mentally prepared."
Chen Li on the other end of the phone said: "The bad news is that your name is not in the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards."
"It doesn't matter, what about the good news?" Zhang Xiao asked with a smile.
"You were nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!" Chen Li said excitedly.
Zhang Xiao himself was a little happy and asked: "Sister Li, is your news accurate?"
"Of course it's accurate!" Chen Li said happily: "It is estimated that in two hours, the Oscar nomination list will be announced to the world."
It could be heard that Chen Li on the other end of the phone was very excited, so Zhang Xiao said: "Sister Lili, being nominated and winning are two different concepts. Do you need to be so excited?"
"No, no, no, I'm happy to sign a contract with you, Mr. Zhang, I'm waiting for you in Hollywood!" Chen Li explained.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao looked up and saw Yang Mi standing in front of him with a facial mask on. He was startled and asked, "Don't you make any sound when you walk?"
Yang Mi retorted: "Husband, you are too focused, okay. Did Sister Li call me for something?"
Zhang Xiao said calmly: "It's nothing important, just that I was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor."
"Wow!"
Yang Mi screamed immediately after hearing this, and then danced on the spot, not even caring about the facial mask attached to her face.
After a while, he jumped directly in front of Zhang Fan and said excitedly: "Husband, you are so awesome."
After saying that, he kissed Zhang Xiao hard on the cheek.
Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes and said in a disgusting manner: "Isn't it just a nomination? What's there to be excited about? It's still unknown whether I can win the award!"
Yang Mi argued: "Even a nomination is great, because this is the first time for a Chinese actor to receive Oscar recognition. Husband, you have made history!"
Zhang Xiao said indifferently: "There is no need to take the Oscars too seriously. If we really talk about it, there are still many actors in our country whose acting skills are no worse than those of Oscar-winning actors."
Hearing what he said, Yang Mi gave her a big roll of her eyes and said angrily: "You, you just stand and talk without pain in your back."
"My waist doesn't hurt even when I'm lying down and talking!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.
"You~~~"

Two hours later, the Oscar nominations were announced on the official website.
Zhang Xiao was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his wonderful performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight".
After this news came out, the Chinese Internet was in an uproar.
Countless Zhang Xiao fans have left messages of congratulations at the bottom of his Weibo account!
"Congratulations to Xiao Shen for being nominated for an Oscar!"
"God Xiao is God Xiao, he conquered Hollywood with his acting skills."
"There has been no actor in the Chinese entertainment industry who has been nominated for an Oscar in the acting category for decades. Xiao Shen is simply too awesome and has achieved zero breakthroughs."
"I believe that Xiao Shen will definitely win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor."
"I have performed the role of the Joker superbly. If I can't win an award for this, it only means that the Oscar judges are collectively blind."
Chapter completed!
