"My Wife, the Beautiful CEO" box office: 50 million.
The film starring Park Eun-si box office: 80 million.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but be stunned; he hadn’t anticipated the opening day box office, with the film starring Park Eun-si, surpassing "My Wife, the Beautiful CEO."
This imdiately stirred up heated discussions online.
Park Eun-si’s agent directly expressed on his personal social dia, essentially thanking everyone for their support, and in a roundabout way, ntioned how Xiao Zheng had previously driven him away.
Imdiately, under that social dia post, there were many comnts mocking Xiao Zheng and Qianqiu Entertainnt for their lack of judgnt, their arrogance, and similar remarks, with a particularly high number of likes.
Anyone with a keen eye could easily see that there were paid trolls behind this.
However, Park Eun-si’s tactics proved effective; many people felt that "Love You Over Ten Thousand Years" could not compare to the film starring Park Eun-si.
For a ti, many comnts unfavorable to Qianqiu Entertainnt appeared on the internet.
Chu Xiaoran was on the verge of tears upon seeing this.
Leng Ruobing also remained silent.
Director Wen Cheng, however, did not say much.
And within this context, a senior executive at Qianqiu Entertainnt, nad Zhang Ruoting, who was once one of the fiercest opponents of Leng Ruobing, also penned a statent on his personal social dia:
It’s truly a pity. When President Leng decided on this project, most of the people in our company eting were against it, yet President Leng persisted, suppressing all opposing voices. It seems that the Qianqiu Group has reached a very critical crossroads. If we cannot stop the losses in ti, Qianqiu is in danger!
This statent instantly triggered a major uproar.
No one expected that a senior executive at the Qianqiu Group would openly oppose Leng Ruobing. The words seed harmless but were like daggers aid at Leng Ruobing’s core.
Clearly, Zhang Ruoting was undermining Leng Ruobing’s authority!
Upon seeing this ssage online, Shen Yuancheng was stunned, then burst into laughter, feeling imnse satisfaction, muttering to himself: "Xiao Zheng, oh Xiao Zheng, do you see? Even your people have betrayed you this ti, hehe."
Thinking about Xiao Zheng’s disheartened appearance afterwards, Shen Yuancheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
And after Zhang Ruoting’s statent, so other executives at the Qianqiu Group also started posting unfavorable remarks about Leng Ruobing.
So accused her of arrogance.
So accused her of being power-hungry.
So accused her of being outdated.
Suddenly, Leng Ruobing was in a very unfavorable position.
In turmoil.
Chu Xiaoran cried and said to Leng Ruobing, "Sister, I’m sorry, it’s my fault."
She felt very ashad.
If her movie could be a little more successful, this situation wouldn’t have happened.
The 50 million opening box office, though decent, still seed like a drop in the bucket compared to the support the Qianqiu Group had given to Qianqiu Entertainnt.
However, Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Why are you crying? Didn’t you look at the reviews alongside the opening box office?"
"Huh?" After work, both Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran returned to the villa, looking at Xiao Zheng in confusion.
Xiao Zheng opened a movie rating website, pointed at the scores on the screen, and said, "Look, ’My Wife, the Beautiful CEO’ now has a rating of 8.5, which is considered exceptionally high for a comrcial film, whereas the film starring Park Eun-si..."
Xiao Zheng then brought up the page for Park Eun-si’s film, smiled, and said, "It now has a rating of 3.8, and the rating is still dropping. Even though so are madly giving it five stars, they can’t stop this trend."
"But, reviews can’t represent everything," Chu Xiaoran said with teary eyes. She had so understanding of films; nowadays, movies starring fresh actors had such scores, but it didn’t really affect the box office.
On the contrary, those highly-rated movies with scores of 8 or even 9, despite their acclaim, ended up with diocre box office results.
Xiao Zheng smiled confidently, "Just wait and see, tomorrow’s box office will give you the answer."
Not waiting for the next day, an article appeared online that very night.
"Are Films with Fresh Faces Really Going to Dominate Our Film Market?"
The author of this article wasn’t a famous film critic, just a very ordinary user.
But his language was sincere.
