Wang Baoqiang had a bet agreement in the movie "Crazy Alien" that guaranteed 2.8 billion at the box office. This meant that if the movie's box office did not reach 2.8 billion, Wang Baoqiang would have to bear the loss. If the box office exceeded 2.8 billion, the bottom line and the producer would split the profits according to the ratio. According to the report, the box office of the movie was only about 2.2 billion yuan, so Wang Baoqiang might need to make up 700 million yuan. Although the exact amount of the loss was not clear, it was estimated to be around 100 million yuan. Wang Baoqiang's assets were currently only 100 to 200 million yuan, so this guaranteed box office was a high-risk investment for him.
