The next day, countless people, either with the ntality of watching for free because it’s a waste not to watch, or with the mindset of solving a puzzle, or even those who had watched it once yesterday and wanted to watch it again today, flooded into the cinemas.
The screenings in the morning were not too many.
But the midnight sessions, packed, still packed!
Every auditorium was filled to the brim!
The audience, so laughed loudly, so cried bitterly, and so remained silent.
Everyone felt differently.
And every ti they watched it again, they would have a different feeling!
Once, twice, three tis!
The sporadic bursts of laughter that sotis ca from the screening rooms would have been annoying in other movies.
However...
Here, there wasn’t any, those who understood or were sowhat confused all showed an envious look towards those laughing heartily.
They were once like that too!
...
What followed was that online movie reviews beca increasingly bizarre!
Still the three categories: cody, tragedy, incomprehensible, no need for elaboration!
These three were almost neck and neck; every category had its supporters.
But with these conflicting reviews, they didn’t start feuding among themselves; very harmonious!
And when so netizens asked so veteran critics to review the movie.
This is how they responded.
"Sorry, I can’t comnt!"
"I can’t review this film because any comnt would be an insult!"
"Thanks for the invite, but sorry, this is a film that can’t be surpassed, just go watch it yourself! My review is aningless!"
"Watch it a few more tis, after you’ve seen it more than three tis, you’ll understand what we an!"
"..."
As increasingly bizarre online opinions surfaced.
The re 10 million invested "A Chinese Odyssey" saw its box office surge dramatically!
One hundred million...
Two hundred million...
Three hundred million...
...
And the cinemas that had previously scheduled "A Chinese Odyssey" during off-peak tis and in smaller theatres, started frantically adjusting.
The rate of scheduling soared, so cinemas even reached fifty percent of screening tis, all during pri ti!
But even then, tickets were hard to co by!
Because many people just stayed in the cinema without leaving, going directly from the first show to the last!
Cinemas received countless complaints every day, demanding them to increase the number of screenings.
The major cinemas were at their wits’ end.
This is already the maximum, if it goes any higher, the screening rate for other movies would be zero!
Conversely, "Youthful Frenzy" saw a severe drop in box office sales!
From 190 million on the first day to just 50 million the next day, and it continued to decline!
At this rate, they dare not say whether their 480 million investnt in "Youthful Frenzy" would break even!
The distributors of "Youthful Frenzy" panicked!
"What the hell? What’s going on? Why would such a crappy movie do this? Soone tell !"
"Damn it, it must be Lu Xiaobu pulling strings behind the scenes! He’s loaded!"
"We won’t accept this! Keep ramping up the publicity!"
"..."
A new round of publicity for "Youthful Frenzy" began!
Even the male and female stars personally joined in.
But, it had no effect!
It remained the sa!
"Youthful Frenzy" continued to slide!
"A Chinese Odyssey" continued to soar!
Finally, soone spoke the truth online!
"Enough, stop the damn publicity, if it weren’t for my girlfriend forcing , I damn well wouldn’t watch it! Now with ’A Chinese Odyssey’, my girlfriend doesn’t even watch your crappy movie, finally I can speak the truth!"
"Exactly, damn all the photoshop, are you treating us like fools?"
"This is a movie? No plot, no acting, full of sloppy photoshop and you still have the nerve to rip us off?"
"We’re just being tolerant, otherwise we would have ditched you long ago!"
"Go to hell!"
"My goddess, let tell you sothing, if you keep promoting that crappy movie, I’m turning from a fan to a hater!"
"Sa here!"
" 1"
" 10086!"
"..."
Comnts like these were countless!
Under such trendous pressure.
The celebrities didn’t dare to speak up anymore, they could see their fans were serious!
Is a star without fans still a star?
No, not at all!
The distributor of "Youthful Frenzy" was furious!
Are they kidding?
A movie that’s free for one viewing actually outperford theirs at the box office?
Are the viewers insane?
Why watch "A Chinese Odyssey" over and over again rather than their movie?!
They couldn’t accept it!
So, they all got made up and went to the cinema to watch "A Chinese Odyssey"!
Well, that day they didn’t co out of the cinema!
Even they had to admit defeat!
As distributors, they might stubbornly refuse to admit it, but as viewers...
They were convinced!
Completely convinced!
Now, "A Chinese Odyssey" has firmly established its divine status!
No one can deny it!
No one can disapprove of it!
...
"Young Master Bu, we won! We really won! You’re so aweso!"
Chen Feiyang was as excited as a child, hopping and jumping while on the phone!
"Alright, alright, got it."
Lu Xiaobu responded indifferently: "It was bound to happen!"
"Young Master Bu, I’m telling you, I’m going to win an award! It’s all thanks to you, Young Master Bu!"
Chen Feiyang couldn’t contain his excitent and kept on babbling.
"Aren’t you annoying?"
Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone directly: "Really, how old are you, acting like a kid, is it necessary?"
"Um..."
Liang Lan and the others were speechless!
Young Master!
Is it really not necessary?
A movie that straightforwardly achieves divine status!
It’s natural for Director Chen Feiyang to be excited!
And you, just hanging up the phone!
Sigh! Well, we don’t understand your thods anyway!
"Young Master, how did you know for sure it would be a hit?"
Liang Lan asked with sparkling eyes.
She was convinced, once again convinced.
Young Master’s decisions are always so wildly imaginative, yet so unfathomably brilliant!
Amazing!
"Yes, Xiaobu, you’re so incredible! Did you always know we would definitely win?"
Wu Qianmin was also full of admiration.
This lady was completely convinced by Lu Xiaobu.
"Stinky Xiaobu! You just wouldn’t tell , right! I’ve been cursed at for days!"
Zhou Jingyuan gritted her teeth and said.
She’d been arguing online with people and getting harshly insulted every day!
"Want to know?"
Lu Xiaobu laughed nonchalantly!
"Yes!"
The three ladies nodded simultaneously, eagerly waiting for Lu Xiaobu to enlighten them.
"Well, tonight, whoever serves my bed, I’ll tell her."
Lu Xiaobu smirked.
"Hmph!"
The three ladies imdiately turned away: "Ignoring you! Annoying!"
"Don’t! How about a kiss?"
Lu Xiaobu hastily backpedaled!
The three ladies got up and walked away!
"Stop, stop, a hand will also do! It will do!"
Lu Xiaobu retreated again!
The three ladies completely left!
"Ah, these won! Their thirst for knowledge is just not strong! Unwilling to make any effort!"
Lu Xiaobu sighed.
And then...
That night!
The door to Lu Xiaobu’s room was quietly opened!
Sss!
