The film LET THE BULLETS FLY already broke 500 million at the Mainland box office. The producer said yesterday, "LET THE BULLETS FLY is flying high and steady, but actually the wind is very strong and the waves are very rapid." He pointed out that after the film was released it ran into a variety of unreasonable opposition. 5 days into the run and after the box office broke 200 million, a "restricted film notice" rumor strangely appeared online. It claimed that LET's release might be restricted due to sensitive topics! Because the rumor was widespread, viewers thought that the film was not shown at any cinema. He said that he had to clarify no such thing occurred. "It caused at loss 100 million yuan box office loss. The rumor monger falsely distributed official notice, which strictly speaking violated the law! Actually the audience recognized LET, which was also the Chinese film 1 billion yuan pillar. Even today, the film is still in release."
