Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A few people looked with envy. They thought that this sugar daddy was too shocking.
1The room was suddenly full of bustling. Someone wanted to publicize the news for a huge sum of money.
This was not just a photo, but a video. Once it was released, Lin Che could not deny it.
Because when they saw how Gu Jingze acted towards Lin Che, he was so gentle that their hearts melted. Thus, they could not deny the fact that they had an intimate relations.h.i.+p.
Nevertheless, everyone was jealous that a sugar daddy could treat his kept woman so well that he would actually bend down to personally tidy up her clothes.
Everyone looked at it for a while and discussed who to reveal it to.
However, Qu Fangyuan grabbed the phone back.
“What reveal? I still have a use for it. How much money will we get from publicizing it? You bunch of shortsighted people.”
Everyone looked at Qu Fangyuan curiously. She had a plan in her mind, so she was now immersed in her plan, her face showing her joyful expression.
On the other side, Lin Che naturally did not know about these matters.
She was just exclaiming that there were actually so many people partic.i.p.ating in a premiere ceremony.
Nevertheless, after returning home, she could already see some statistics after the release of the movie.
Their release schedule was not great. At this time, not a lot of people watched movies. However, Nan Gongyu never cared about the time as he always released his movies once they were ready. Nothing else really mattered to him.
Because of his willfulness, the box office was always like that: good, but not at the top.
Originally this time, everyone also thought the movie would end up like that, but little did they know…
After the movie was released nationwide at midnight, all the showings on that day were fully booked.
The first batch of people to watch the movie, as expected, were mostly fans.
After the fans, some people were free and interested who went to watch.
Everyone gave extraordinarily great reviews about the movie and said it was definitely a movie worth watching.
Movie critics also wrote film reviews immediately and published them online to be discussed.
There were some interesting lines from the movie that were extracted and shared on Weibo.
Afterward, from the second day onwards, the movie’s popularity really increased and the number of the audience also increased.
Only after half a day, the number of people watching was already exceeding expectations.
At the back, theaters also increased the number of showtimes. They did not expect a comedy to win against many 3D movies and receive high praise.
Theaters also follow the trend. Upon seeing its popularity, they immediately added showtimes.
At night, Yu Minmin immediately called Lin Che.
Lin Che was then watching television. She was leaning there and munching on food when Yu Minmin suddenly said, “Lin Che!”
Her voice was so loud that Lin Che got a shock and immediately jumped. She rubbed her ears and asked, “What are you doing? Why were you so loud? I got so shocked.”
“You’ve exploded, really exploded!” The excitement was barely contained in Yu Minmin’s voice.
Lin Che speechlessly asked, “What are you going on about?”
1“Idiot, let me tell you, the movie. Box office. Exploded. It’s so scary, a hundred million a day. It is definitely the king of 2D movies.”
“A hundred million a day? No way…”
“Yes, it will definitely be one hundred million today. It is already seventy million now okay?”
Lin Che climbed up with a grunt.
These statistics on the box office were still internal news, so she did not know about it herself and had to wait for others to consolidate and notify her.
“Isn’t that amazing. Won’t I get issued a lot of money?”
“Idiot, it is not about the money. After this movie is a hit, you are an A-lister. You can have as much money as you want.”
“Okay… I just don’t know what to say.”
Lin Che did not expect this. Although she knew Nan Gongyu’s movie would not do badly, everyone thought his movie would not be a hit.
Unexpectedly, this movie broke the usual trend.
What she did not know was, this was only the first day.
On the second day, it was still a hundred million.
The third day, it was still…
After a few days, the box office of this movie was already considered the unprecedented king of 2D movies.
After one week, the movie box office was already six hundred million. One week of this movie’s box office was already almost the sum of all other Nan Gongyu movies.
In the past, the highest-selling Nan Gongyu movie had a total box office of six hundred million. Now, they only needed one week to achieve that.
1Everyone also started discussing the movie on the internet. After looking at movie reviews, they knew that the movie was considered a good one.
There were many laughing points in the movie and the acting was also great. It was cla.s.sic yet relatable with its black humor, so many people thought that this movie was worth watching.
This was already considered a successful movie. It was one of the few critically well-received and seat-selling movies these past few years.
It was also the dark horse of the box office of the movies this year.
It became the best selling movie with no one expecting it to be.
Lin Che’s acting was also critically acclaimed. Everyone thought her acting of the self-breakthrough was extremely apt.
Her performance was natural, without actions that were too exaggerated. Because of how natural it looked, it felt like that was true acting. It was not too flighty, yet it was ingrained in people’s hearts and the audience could empathize with just her gaze and expression.
Lin Che happily went to the company to celebrate with everyone that day.
On the way, she asked someone to prepare the cake to be shared with everyone at the company.
Upon reaching the company, everyone walked out from the office and sprayed glittery mists at Lin Che, surprising Lin Che.
“Ah, what are you doing?” Lin Che said in the middle.
“Your movie will be a hit.”
“Sister Che will become a popular star.”
The employees of the company laughed.
Lin Che looked at everyone with a smile. She felt great, so everyone looked pleasing to her eyes.
“Okay, okay. I hope everything will be as per your blessings. I’ll give out red packets later, alright?”
After everyone heard they could receive red packets, they could not contain their smiles.
Everyone was splitting the cake to eat to celebrate. Just then, the receptionist walked over. Upon seeing Lin Che, she immediately walked over and said, “Sister Che, Qu Fangyuan is here, at the entrance.”
Upon hearing that name, Lin Che frowned.
Really… It was absurd she could even find the company.
“You just ask someone to deal with her.” Lin Che said.
“Unfortunately, she refused. She said she has something to tell you personally. We also persuaded her for a while, but she said…”
“What did she say?”
“She said if you didn’t see it, you’ll regret it.”
She was so sure of herself.
Was it a conspiracy or something real?
Lin Che sat there and thought for a while. She did not think she had any other interaction with her.
She said, “Alright, let her wait first. I’ll come over later.”
“Understood.”
Lin Che lightly packed up and then walked out.
Qu Fangyuan was indeed there. She sat outside with her legs crossed, drinking the company’s coffee.
She looked like an unwelcome guest, but she did not have the self-awareness of one.
In fact, after she saw Lin Che, she smiled victoriously.
