Seeing that the box office had already surpassed 500 million, even Director Fu, who was used to all sorts of ups and downs in the industry, shook his head helplessly, "Are you serious?"

While others might not know, Director Fu was well aware that the box office figures for these films were genuine, achieved through Qiao Xia's hard-earned money.

It's fair to say that aside from benefiting the cinemas' revenue sharing, the investors themselves essentially made no money from the transaction, essentially just passing the money around between their own pockets.

But when it comes to bumping into people, the person who appears most often in the movie is a rural woman in her fifties who can't even speak her lines properly.

To put it bluntly, given her health condition, who knows how many more years she might live? If something unexpected happens to her, it would be a huge loss.

As for him, as the most famous director in China, high box office numbers would only add a more splendid touch to his resume, which is completely unnecessary.

Qiao Xia nodded solemnly, "As for it."

According to Qiao Xia's original plan, she originally wanted to push the box office to 10 billion on the first day, so that cinemas across the country wouldn't have to do anything else and could just show this one movie.

The cinema owner was of course willing, but Director Fu, as a veteran in the industry, was unwilling to do this job that offended people, so Qiao Xia could only settle for second best and keep the box office within a range that would not offend anyone.

Director Fu shook his head. He was increasingly unable to understand the way young people acted these days. "It's getting late. This old man is not going to waste any more time with you guys."

Knowing Qiao Xia's next plan, Director Fu greeted her and then got into the van and quickly fled the scene.

The nine people left standing there looked at each other in bewilderment. Mu Xiaozhe still wanted to argue, "Do we really have to do this?"

Qiao Xia nodded matter-of-factly, "That's what an idol should do."

Sun Hao took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and with a determined wave of his hand, he led eight men into the street with great fanfare.

Qiao Xia stood upstairs, watching the nine people move forward against the crowd, attracting the attention of many passersby in just a few steps.

Before causing a bigger disturbance, Jiang Xiaomian picked up a microphone from the roadside. Sun Hao and Mu Xiaozhe exchanged a glance, and a huge banner was slowly unfurled behind Jiang Xiaomian.

"Combating human trafficking and caring for abducted women starts with each of us!"

"Combating human trafficking and caring for abducted women starts with each of us!"

"Combating human trafficking and caring for abducted women starts with each of us!"

The nine people shouted the rehearsed line three times in unison, stunning the surrounding audience. Then, Sun Hao began to lead the singing of the movie's theme song.

As soon as the song ended, the nine people rushed into the crowd, leaving the surrounding audience still in shock.

"Am I dreaming? How could I hear my brother shouting such an embarrassing slogan?"

"Looks like I was dreaming too. To be honest, although I know their departure is a good thing, I really wish they wouldn't have to go yet."

"It's so embarrassing, I'm so embarrassed that my toes have torn through my newly bought shoes."

This time period is the peak of pedestrian traffic in City A. As the most popular boy band at the moment, their every move attracts a lot of attention, let alone their behavior, which would easily attract attention even among ordinary people.

That very night, all nine of them became trending topics, but this was just the beginning. In the following days, they were like NPCs running around the world, appearing in different cities at random times.

Passersby initially felt awkward and tried to avoid the situation, but later actively responded and even joined in chanting slogans.

When the entertainment value of the event reached its peak, Qiao Xia turned around and guided public opinion to focus more people on the event itself.

More and more people are realizing that when trafficked women are rescued, what they need is to start a new life, not to be kidnapped by the children they were forced to give birth to and sent back to the mountains.

As many accounts dedicated to helping children in mountainous areas find their mothers reflect on their actions, helping these children find their mothers may be a salvation for the children, but for the mothers, it may be a second destruction of their lives.

This incident was pushed to the peak of public opinion. At the same time, the documentary filmed by Director Fu also attracted more attention from the general public due to its high box office, music, and recent public opinion.

When they wanted to buy a movie ticket to test the waters, they were told it was free, so more and more people brought their families to the cinema.

At the same time, many old stories were revealed. The older generation would tell their children with a smile that so-and-so in the village was abducted.

That family originally had no children. They went to many hospitals but to no avail. The couple went out to work for a year and came back to find that they had a child, but the child didn't look like either of them. It's possible that the child was abducted.

With the popularization of nine-year compulsory education, most of the children in the village study in the county and face endless homework all day long. They really didn't know that this had happened in the village.

The high school students, in the prime of their youth, never imagined that crime was happening right next to them. They stubbornly believed that justice was above all else, so they quietly called the police.

However, after investigation, the police discovered that it was a misunderstanding. The old man in the village had been on the battlefield when he was young and his face was disfigured, while his wife was very beautiful when she was young. The villagers joked that if they didn't know better, they would think that his wife had been kidnapped.

As the story spread, it became distorted, and many people took it as fact, remaining tight-lipped about their family affairs. In reality, the two met while fleeing famine.

After settling down in the village, they decided to live together and weather the storms of life for decades. They never expected such a misunderstanding to arise. This incident, however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it clarified things.

The young couple had both opted for sterilization when they were young, following the trend of being childless by choice, and in order to express their determination not to have children, they both had their tubes tied.

They didn't dare tell their families the truth. By the time they wanted to be honest, both sets of parents had already pushed them to adopt a child from an orphanage. They decided to go along with the mistake and raise her as their own child.

Who knew the truth would come so suddenly? The little girl was afraid her parents would abandon her, so she hid in her room and cried for two whole days. The couple were so angry that they blocked their door and cursed at them for an hour.

Such misunderstandings have occurred in many parts of the country, but there are also some that are not misunderstandings. In just two days, Qiao Xia's sanatorium received 132 people.

This is only because we noticed her contact information and were able to reach her quickly; who knows how many other places we could contact?

This public outcry was so powerful and prolonged that it finally attracted the attention of higher authorities.

The following year, someone raised the relevant issues at the meeting, and the relevant departments decided to revise the relevant laws and regulations and strengthen supervision.

With Qiao Xia's tireless financial support, the documentary concluded with a box office of 10 billion yuan. At the same time, many people became vigilant after watching the film and, with the help of passersby, turned against the murderer.
