Chapter 22 The Title of "Box Office Poison" Will Be Gone Forever

——

Come on! Come on! Let's meet in '98!

Come on! Come on! Let's meet in 1998!

——

A Spring Festival Gala performance of "Let's Meet in '98," in collaboration with Na Ying, completely launched the male lead Xia Luo's career.

What he had lost the most was now what he gained the most.

‘Don't call me anymore. I'm afraid Xia Luo will misunderstand.’

In the heavy atmosphere, "Yi Jian Mei" (A Spray of Plum Blossoms) further deepened the audience's impression.

"I'm done for, I'm done for, this scene is too damn funny, what if I can't forget it?"

"The actors are really good, bg

Old Man: Okay!

In just a few short exchanges, the audience was doubled over with laughter.

Especially the old man's crisp reply at the end, and the scene of water pouring on the old man's head while shouting Ma Dongmei's name, hit many people's funny bone.

"The screenwriter is awesome, able to write this, I'm impressed!"

"I can't, I'm dying of laughter! Hahahaha!"

After the laughter, came the wave of memories.

Xia Luo's scene of eating noodles while crying vividly portrayed his inner regret.

After learning that Ma Dongmei had married his good brother Da Chun, he wanted to use everything he had to get Ma Dongmei back.

At this moment, the theme of the movie was sublimated.

The person you once despised so much, there will always be someone in this world who treasures them!

'Da Chun, I'm so jealous of you, being able to live like an idiot.'

‘What kind of talk is that? What do you mean, 'like'!’

‘I'm also jealous of you, having everything you want.’

In the end, Xia Luo contracted HIV and was not long for this world.

‘Luo'er, from today on, we'll go our separate ways.’

‘I'll call you big brother, you call me dad!’

‘Big brother, what are you looking for? Should dad help you look?’

Instantly, the audience in the movie theater, which had just been filled with a somber mood, burst into laughter.

"I can't live anymore, people, I absolutely can't live anymore from laughing!"

"This director, is truly a talented person!"

"Hahahaha!"

They were very curious about how the director's brain worked.

Could a carbon-based lifeform come up with something like this?

Su Yao frequently looked sideways at Lu Xuan: "I didn't realize you were so humorous?"

"Ah, a little bit, a little bit."

Seeing Su Yao's mood improve, Lu Xuan felt that his goal had been achieved.

Finally, the movie ended.

In Ma Dongmei's a cappella of "Just Once is Enough," Xia Luo shed tears called 'regret'.

Then, he woke up from the dream.

He probably couldn't return the clothes in time, but the person he cherished most was still there!

As Xia Luo ran towards that woman, the theme song "Goodbye Mr. Loser" began to play.

——

I will be by your side, to your left and right

But I won't look back

Your every move is like a heartbeat

Affecting all of me

I will be by your side, to your left and right

I will never let go

Whether it's yesterday, today, or tomorrow

Until the very end

——

Lu Xuan's vicissitudes of song made everyone's eyes become infatuated.

After experiencing everything in the dream, Xia Luo began to cherish Ma Dongmei's love for him.

Then, in the real world, isn't there also such a person, who has been silently accompanying them, but they are unaware?

This question is the ultimate meaning that *Goodbye Mr. Loser* brings to the audience.

"Cherish the person in front of you..."

Such a moving theme was confirmed in the final moment of the movie.

Su Yao held her chest, her thoughts churning.

She couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan again.

Lu Xuan looked at the big screen, also somewhat lost in thought.

"So, what have you lost?"

In Su Yao's mind, someone who had never experienced loss could not write such a good script.

In her heart, she was even more curious about Lu Xuan.

......

Coming out of the movie theater, it took Su Yao a long time to calm her still-excited mood.

Then, doubts followed one after another.

"Why does such a good movie only have five million in box office?"

*Goodbye Mr. Loser's* unconventional movie content, and the thematic sublimation of the ending segment, all left a very deep impression on Su Yao.

Her evaluation of the movie was extremely high, and in some ways, it surpassed *Love Between Immortals and Demons*!

So she didn't understand why *Goodbye Mr. Loser's* box office was so low.

Now Su Yao had completely forgotten her previous evaluation of the movie and began to feel indignant for *Goodbye Mr. Loser*.

At this time, Aunt Liu came over after checking the information.

Her evaluation of *Goodbye Mr. Loser* was also very high, so she specially went to check it out.

"Yao Yao, *Goodbye Mr. Loser's* opening day box office was only one million!"

"What?!"

When she heard that the opening day box office was only one million, Su Yao was stunned.

She knew that the second day's box office of *Goodbye Mr. Loser* was five million!

Originally, Su Yao thought that *Goodbye Mr. Loser's* opening day box office should be around seven million, but now Aunt Liu told her that it was only one million!

One million to five million!

A five-fold upward trend created a rare reverse growth in the film industry!

Normally speaking, it is normal for a movie's box office to be high on the first day and then continue to decline.

But *Goodbye Mr. Loser* began to rise in reverse!

"No wonder... no wonder the theater chain temporarily increased the number of screenings!"

Instantly, Su Yao understood everything.

It turned out that the theater chain knew the box office trend of *Goodbye Mr. Loser*, so they specially added screenings.

And the situation of selling out a screening in less than five minutes.

Also made Su Yao deeply understand that the upward trend of *Goodbye Mr. Loser's* box office was not showing any signs of slowing down!

This meant that in the future, *Goodbye Mr. Loser's* box office would continue to rise!

Even to a degree that she didn't dare to imagine.

"Lu Xuan..."

Su Yao turned her head to look at Lu Xuan, her probing gaze undisguised.

This former 'box office poison' was about to personally demonstrate in front of her what a miracle is!

Recalling Lu Xuan's unwavering confidence since the movie was released.

Su Yao gently opened her mouth: "So you already predicted this situation?"

"Are you so confident in your movie?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "If a director doesn't have confidence in the movie he made, then he must be an unqualified director."

"And I, from now on, will only make works that satisfy me."

Let the title of 'box office poison' go to someone else.

He didn't like the word 'poison'.

The smile on the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth revealed his infinite confidence in the future.

This smile deeply struck Su Yao's heart, making her a little absent-minded.

......

On the Internet, the storm about *Goodbye Mr. Loser* had just finished brewing.
