BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2211 - 2211 Twins
Only then did Xiao Bao go to wash his hands. When he came back, he raised his clean hands. “I’m done.”
“Sister-in-law, 300 million!” Lu Mingjue pulled out a chair for Qiao Weiyang. “The trend might continue in the next two days. It’ll gradually slow down in the future, but it’ll be a huge hit.”
“You’ve worked hard recently.” Qiao Weiyang opened the drink. “Let me give you a toast.”
Lu Mingjue drank a glass without hesitation.
Xiao Bao and Jingyun took the seats beside Qiao Weiyang.
When Su Zhuoqian walked over and saw this situation, he was speechless.
He reached out, picked up Xiao Bao, and put him aside.
“Why?” Xiao Bao was dissatisfied.
“Sit next to me. Is there anything wrong with that?” Su Zhuoqian sat in his seat.
Xiao Bao: “…”
This was not a grievance; it was a huge grievance.
But Xiao Bao did not dare to say that he was aggrieved.
Su Zhuoqian began to cook.
Seeing that he was about to finish cooking, Lu Mingjue handed the bowl over.
Su Zhuoqian gave some food to Qiao Weiyang.
Then, he served Xiao Bao.
After that, he served Jingyun.
When it was finally Lu Mingjue’s turn, Qiao Weiyang had already finished eating her portion, so he gave some more to Qiao Weiyang.
Lu Mingjue: “…”
Being stared at impatiently, Su Zhuoqian asked calmly, “If your hands are useless, you can choose to amputate them.”
Had he been like this since he was young? Could he not give in to him for once?
Halfway through, Su Zhuoqian reached out with his bowl and took the food Qiao Weiyang offered.
Lu Mingjue: “…”
Xiao Bao looked at him sympathetically and advised him with his eyes, ‘That’s enough. Is this your first day knowing Su Zhuoqian?’
Lu Mingjue realized that his presence here was redundant.
As he was thinking, Su Zhuoqian picked up a piece of freshly cooked mutton and placed it in his bowl.
Lu Mingjue immediately perked up again. “Boss, you should’ve done this from the start.”
After taking a bite, he stopped hesitating and took the initiative to cook for himself.
…
The next day was the weekend. For two days, White Fox’s box office sales remained at Friday’s level.
The accumulated total of a billion yuan over three days allowed the major movie theaters to make a lot of money.
A movie theater chain directly completed its yearly KPI performance indicators and hung the name ‘Man Tianxing’ on a banner in the office.
Some movie theater employees had already learned that their quarterly bonus was very impressive. Not only did they hang the name ‘Man Tianxing,’ but they also hung the name ‘Qiao Weiyang.’ They were very happy as they clocked in and out of work every day.
The lives of these employees were usually not so easy. They were overworked every day to meet the KPI set. Since someone had helped them meet it, shouldn’t they praise them to the sky?
Only then did Tian Guang start to panic. It turned out that releasing a movie at the start of summer vacation was so effective.
He had looked through all the data in the past, but no other movie had brought such an effect!
In the past, animated and family-friendly movies were the genres that were popular during summer vacation. The box office results were neither high nor low. The movies shown during this period were all targeted at children.
Now, he was thinking if he should release his movie in advance.
However, after thinking about it, he still could not. If he did that, he would have to face White Fox head-on. Now, the movie theaters were constantly increasing the number of screenings of White Fox.
Secondly, his movie was indeed meant to be shown on Qixi. Many of the content had to be changed if the release date was changed.
Tian Guang had no choice but to continue to restrain himself.
…
As the reputation of White Fox grew, the name Qiao Weiyang kept appearing in the public eye.
If it was said before that she had only relied on her scandals and her beauty to make a name for herself in the industry, then now, she had won over everyone with her acting skills. Even her fans had the confidence to brag about her natural beauty.
Qiao Jierou looked at Qiao Weiyang’s name that was tied to the movie every day and couldn’t help but pinch her fingers.
In the various authoritative data, as long as White Fox was mentioned, Qiao Weiyang’s name was mentioned alongside it more than 80% of the time. As for her and the others, the mention rate was only 1.2%.
Especially her. It was only 1%. Even Yang Qianhui, the fourth female lead, had a mention rate of 3%.
It was clearly a movie with two female leads, and Qiao Jierou was the more unknown star.
“Why is this happening?” Qiao Jierou asked her manager, Jiang Lin. “Where did my publicity go?”
Jiang Lin held the data form. She didn’t dare to say that her publicity was actually more than Qiao Weiyang’s. Qiao Weiyang only did publicity for the movie, while Qiao Jierou’s publicity strategies included resources from the Qiao family and Hengyuan Entertainment.
“Maybe Qiao Weiyang hired more paid posters, so there are more people praising her every day, which is why her data is better.”
“What about us?” Qiao Jierou glanced at Jiang Lin.
“I’ll make the arrangements as soon as possible,” Jiang Lin said immediately.
…
Cheng Yijia was filming the movie.
Qiao Weiyang was waiting with a script in her hand.
Lu Mingjue walked over and sat down opposite her.
“Sister-in-law, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Qiao Weiyang looked away from the script. “Good news.”
“Why didn’t you choose to hear the bad news first?”
“Didn’t you ask me to choose? Since I’m going to have to hear bad news anyway, I want to hear something good first.”
“Alright.” Lu Mingjue became serious. “The good news is that the movie theaters have increased the screening schedule for our movie. It was originally 30 days, but it’s now 60 days.”
“Very good.” Qiao Weiyang had already expected it. The managers of the movie theaters were not fools. They had always added slots for movies that could earn money to fight for more profits.
Since White Fox was performing so well, even the managers of the movie theaters could not turn a blind eye to it.
“Sister-in-law, you’re so smart that I don’t feel a sense of accomplishment.”
Qiao Weiyang smiled, put down the script, and clapped with both hands. “That’s great. With the additional screenings, our movie can continue to be screened.”
Lu Mingjue said, “Your words sound so perfunctory.”
He continued, “So the bad news is that you still have to take some time out for publicity work.”
“No problem as long as it’s okay with Director Cheng.”
“That’s good. Now that the movie theaters have increased the screenings, there are still some contractual problems that I need to manage. I’ll make a move first.”
“Okay. You’ve worked hard.”
Qiao Weiyang picked up the script and continued to memorize her lines.
…
As White Fox became popular, Tian Guang’s situation was starting to be dangerous.
“Manager Zhao, didn’t you agree to give me 70% of the screenings? Why did the figure suddenly fall to 30%?” Tian Guang was very unhappy as he held his cell phone. He was full of anger, but he couldn’t show it.
