Chapter 1225

At the same time, customer's suggestions and complaints flooded many big cinemas . Every day, countless customers requested more showtimes for "Dream Chaser" .

"Manager, what should we do? There were more than 100 calls today alone asking for more showtime allocations for 'Dream Chaser'!"

Similar conversations occurred in the offices of many cinemas .

Nevertheless, with the pressure from Zheng Kangde, all the managers stood together and ignored their customers' requests . They still tried to force the customers to watch "I Only Like You" by limiting their choices .

…

The consequences .

On the fourth day, on a weekend, netizens' love for "Dream Chaser" and their dissatisfaction towards the cinemas reached its peak .

As the popularity of "Dream Chaser" rose, Zheng Kangde's movie was criticized harshly .

[Give me back my money, Liang Biqin! I didn't really feel this way before watching "Dream Chaser", but after that, I realized that a movie that's produced in mere ten days isn't a movie at all! It's just a tool for making money!]

[Liang Biqin's movie is terrible . It's not funny at all! After watching "Dream Chaser", I felt like my soul has been cleansed!]

["I Only Like You" already told me that it's a comedy from its promotional video, but the real thing is worse than the promotional video!]

[Trash movie!]

[Have you grown tired of living? Why watch Liang Biqin's movie?]

[What the heck? Why is the showtime allocation for "Dream Chaser" still so low? I wanted to book tickets for "Dream Chaser", but the list is full of that stupid movie of Liang Biqin's!]

[So many people are recommending it! With "Dream Chaser" being so popular now, why is there still so little showtimes? Are the people-in-charge for the cinemas blind?]

[It's not that hard to guess! Of course, there's some under-table deal going on! All those managers must've taken some money!]

[It's because of these people! They are the one who made China's movie industry become such trash!]

[Damn it! Not only do they like trash themselves, they are even forcing us to watch trash as well! This is the sorry state of the current movie industry!]

[Rise up! People who don't want to watch any more trash! Let's complain! Don't watch that stupid movie again!]

[You're right! Boycott stupid movies! Get that stupid movie out of the industry!]

…

Zheng Kangde did everything he could to shift the premiere date of his movie to be near to that of "Dream Chaser" . However, he did not expect that not only did he not make "Dream Chaser" go down, but due to the comparison, his movie was criticized badly instead .

Ironically, after Zheng Kangde had spent so much money on marketing "I Only Like You", it helped "Dream Chaser" much more . Anywhere "I Only Like You" was mentioned, people would surely compare it with "Dream Chaser" and the popularity of the latter rose higher as it got a lift in marketing from "I Only Like You" . . .

…

On the weekends, most of the cinemas showing "I Only Like You" at peak times were empty . Only a few people were inside the large cinema halls .

When it came to odd timings like early in the morning and late at night, the cinemas were revived . Any hall that was showing "Dream Chaser" was fully occupied with no empty seats to the extent that tickets were hard to get .
