That evening, Yang Mi and Su Han stayed up together to watch the movie box office numbers.
Seeing the box office figures, Yang Mi’s brow furrowed.
“What’s going on? Our movie only has over twenty million in box office?”
“This isn’t logical.”
“Our movie is clearly better than theirs.”
“It seems the star effect is at play here.”
In the end, Yang Mi could only shake her head in deep helplessness.
Su Han found the result to be within reason.
After all, Zhang Zhan’s movie had Shu Qi and Zhang Zhan himself to bring in the traffic. Initially, it would rely on these factors to secure screening slots.
However, if the word-of-mouth was bad later on, the drop would be very fast.
Therefore, Su Han was very confident in "Infernal Affairs 2."
“Don’t worry, go check the ratings,”
Su Han calmly told Yang Mi.
Yang Mi immediately went to check the ratings of the two movies.
She was shocked by what she saw!
Yang Mi started laughing uncontrollably.
She let out an exclamation, a perfect example of cultural expression.
“Holy cow, look at this, quickly! The reviews for ‘Shanghai Fortress’ are too low!”
Su Han glanced over.
“Shanghai Fortress” 3.5 stars!
“Infernal Affairs 2” 8.6 stars!
The difference was simply worlds apart, not even in the same league.
“So many people gave ‘Shanghai Fortress’ one star. Most of them.”
“And the comments are so harsh, all sorts of curses.”
Yang Mi studied them, finding it more and more fascinating.
“This is interesting. I think we’ve got this in the bag.”
“Alright, I’m not worried anymore.” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Yang Mi had initially considered whether she needed to be a little worried, but upon seeing the opponent’s ratings, she felt there was no need to worry at all.
“Boss Yang, calm down. It’s still too early, let’s take it slow.”
Yang Mi looked at Su Han: “You’re really calm.”
Su Han smiled: “This was all within my expectations. It’s very normal.”
“While it’s true that traffic is king these days, some things that are bad are just bad. The public has their judgment, they aren’t all stupid.”
Listening to Su Han, Yang Mi nodded, finding his words quite reasonable.
However, seeing Su Han’s demeanor, she felt it was unlike how a newcomer would react.
Moreover, Su Han seemed much calmer than her when it came to movie data.
In fact, Yang Mi often suspected that Su Han had entered the industry even earlier than she had.
“Hey… Boss Su, let me ask you something.”
Su Han, who was scrolling on his phone, stopped his finger and looked up at her: “Hm? Go ahead!”
“Why do I always feel like you’re not like a newcomer who just entered the industry, let alone someone who used to be an extra? With your insight, I feel like you’ve been in the industry longer than me.”
Yang Mi said, her gaze fixed on him: “Tell me honestly, you’re not really an extra, are you? You must have studied acting before and then went to Hengdian to experience life as an extra?”
Upon hearing Yang Mi, Su Han gave her a thumbs up.
“You’re amazing!”
“Boss Yang, with your imagination, it’s a waste of talent that you’re not writing novels.”
Yang Mi: …
Later that night, Reba returned and immediately tried to comfort them.
“Brother Su Han, Sister Mi, please don’t cry!”
“It’s okay if the box office isn’t good, achievements aren’t everything!”
“I brought you some late-night snacks, come and eat, don’t be sad!”
Yang Mi and Su Han exchanged a look, then looked at Reba as if she were a simple-minded girl.
That night.
Zhang Zhan was initially very happy when he saw the data.
But after seeing the ratings, his expression instantly soured.
Zeng Jia was also quite displeased.
“It’s over. With these ratings, if I’m not mistaken, the screening slots will drop drastically tomorrow.”
“We’re done for.”
“It seems the fans can’t save you this time.”
“This movie is truly terrible, a bad movie coupled with your bad acting, it’s perfect.”
“Nowhere to go to die, what a shame for the beautiful Shu Qi to be a supporting player.”
“This is a tragic turn of events.”
“Su Han’s movie has an 8.6 rating, ours is only 3.5, how can we even compare?”
Zhang Zhan was now very distressed: “Sister Zeng, what do we do now?”
Zeng Jia spread her hands, utterly helpless: “What can we do? Wait to die!”
