If LET THE BULLETS FLY wants to become the year's box office champion, then it definitely has to be 700 million." Industry insiders analyzed that with LET THE BULLETS FLY's current trend, it will only be a matter of time because it breaks AFTER SHOCK's 660 million yuan national total box office record.
