"Really good?"

"Are you crazy? One million! Not ten million!"

Li Hao stared wide-eyed at Lu Xuan, who was wearing a happy expression.

He thought the other party had been overwhelmed by this huge shock; otherwise, how could he be happy?

Lu Xuan waved his hand with a smile. "Gun'er Ge, don't get excited."

He looked calm, as if the box office revenue really was ten million.

"How can I not be excited!"

Li Hao waved his hands. "One million on opening day. At this rate, we can't even hope to break even. We're going to lose our shirts again!"

With only one million on opening day, what could he expect?

"Great, now you can go back to being a bum, and I can go back to selling my fried rice."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Lu Xuan calmed Li Hao down.

To be honest, one million on opening day was beyond Lu Xuan's expectations.

He thought it would be a few hundred thousand at best, but he didn't expect an extra zero.

It was simply a dream start!

"Gun'er Ge, just trust me this once, let the box office fly a little longer!"

Lu Xuan looked at Li Hao with a serious expression.

"Wait until tomorrow! Look again tomorrow, and I definitely won't let you down."

"Really?"

"Really!"

Li Hao nodded.

He understood that Lu Xuan wasn't the type to lie.

Since he said so, he must be confident.

"Alright! Then I'll risk my life to accompany you!"

Good brothers didn't need to say much.

After watching the movie, Lu Xuan hurried home.

On the other side, the opening day box office for *Xianmo Qingyuan* (仙魔情缘, Fate of Immortals and Demons) was also out.

Thirty million!

This number could be considered very impressive in today's film market.

In this world's domestic film market, things weren't particularly prosperous. If a film's total box office revenue could break one hundred million, that would be considered a very good result. Therefore, thirty million on opening day was enough to make anyone in the film industry's eyes light up.

Worthy of a luxurious cast of top-tier young idols; it was this time's big winner.

Unfortunately, Su Yao, the female lead, couldn't be happy at all.

*Xianmo Qingyuan* (仙魔情缘, Fate of Immortals and Demons) had won, but she had lost!

Lost completely!

Even now, people online were still frantically attacking her.

"Is Su Yao really the female lead? She's not even as good as a supporting actress, right? I feel like it would be better without her!"

"Yeah, it feels the same with or without her."

The hostility of these people was simply appalling!

Many bystanders couldn't stand it anymore. Even if she didn't act well, there was no need to attack her like this.

But it was useless; things only got worse.

Even now, Su Yao didn't know who was targeting her.

This feeling of powerlessness washed over Su Yao's body like a tsunami, making her feel like a lone boat at sea!

"Yao Yao!"

At this moment, Aunt Liu returned from outside.

She, who was usually not easily angered, now had a face full of anger.

"I know who's targeting you!"

"Who!" Su Yao raised her head suddenly, flames flashing in the depths of her eyes.

"Shenghua Group!"

"It turns out that the biggest investor behind the *Xianmo Qingyuan* (仙魔情缘, Fate of Immortals and Demons) production team is Shenghua Group!"

"They had the production team deliberately cut your scenes during post-production, and released a large number of bloopers, all to weaken your presence in the film, as well as the audience's goodwill towards you."

"..."

Instantly, Su Yao understood everything.

No wonder she felt isolated when she was on set, no wonder they released her failed takes when the movie was released.

All of this was the work of Shenghua Group behind the scenes!

"But, we've already terminated the contract, why are they still targeting me?"

Su Yao couldn't understand.

Just then, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

But the voice coming from it was not unfamiliar at all.

Tang Qiansheng, the head of the film and television department of Shenghua Group!

"Su Yao, are you satisfied now?"

"Hahahaha!"

The other party's tone was frivolous, filled with disdain and arrogance, as if a cat was playing with a mouse.

Su Yao's eyes turned red with anger.

"Tang Qiansheng! Why are you doing this!"

"Why? Tsk tsk, Su Yao, you're so naive it makes me want to laugh."

"If you had just listened to me back then and attended those banquets, you wouldn't have ended up like this today."

"You ask why? Of course, it's because..."

Tang Qiansheng lowered his voice, then suddenly raised it.

"Of course, it's because what I can't get, there's no need for it to exist! Hahahahahaha!"

A disgusting laugh came from the phone.

Then, Tang Qiansheng continued, "You want to make a comeback, don't you? Do you think you still have a chance?"

This film accident had already cemented Su Yao's identity as the 'Queen of Bad Movies'.

Su Yao herself understood that probably no production team would ask her to act anymore.

Tang Qiansheng's frivolous voice sounded again. "Moreover, my Shenghua will continue to keep an eye on you. Even if a production team wants you, I'll make them kick you out obediently."

"What? Are you despairing?"

"This is the consequence of offending Shenghua! Want to make a comeback? Dream on!"

Beep beep beep—

Accompanied by laughter, the phone was hung up.

Even if Su Yao wanted to record it, it was already too late.

She didn't expect that she had been arranged so clearly from the beginning.

She finally understood how naive and overconfident she had been back then, actually wanting to rely on her own strength to fight against Shenghua Entertainment, this behemoth.

The so-called revenge, the so-called dream, were now like jokes.

"Heh... hehe."

Su Yao laughed mockingly.

"So, I've always been a clown for people's entertainment..."

Something in her heart shattered like a mirror at this moment!

"Yao Yao..."

Aunt Liu looked at Su Yao with some concern.

She didn't know what to say at this moment to comfort this girl who had been hit by fate once again.

"Aunt Liu, I'm going out for a bit, just to be alone for a while."

Su Yao got up and walked outside with empty eyes.

But how could Aunt Liu let her go out like this? She wanted to follow her, but Su Yao stopped her.

"Aunt Liu!"

Her voice was sharper than ever before!

But then it suddenly lowered, as if begging. "Please."

She really didn't want Aunt Liu, who had always supported her, to see her in this fragile, most hated state!

Aunt Liu didn't speak, but stopped her steps.

"Thank you..."

After muttering a sentence, Su Yao walked out.

The sky was clear, but not a ray of sunlight shone on her.

......

"Orange rainstorm warning? Does it have to be so exaggerated!"

Lu Xuan, who was taking the bus home, received a reminder on his phone.

He looked at the weather outside, not even a cloud!

"These days, even weather forecasts are joking."

Shaking his head, Lu Xuan didn't take it to heart.

It was getting late when he finally got home.

As soon as he entered, he saw Aunt Liu sitting on the sofa, looking lost.

"Huh? Aunt Liu, didn't you go out for endorsements today?"

Lu Xuan greeted her as he changed his shoes.

"Lu Xuan!"

Aunt Liu rushed up as if she had grabbed the last straw.
