Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband
Chapter 2210 - 2210 Twins2210 Twins
Qiao Weiyang looked at him seriously. “I can’t afford to lose this sum of money. President Su, as your debtor, I don’t want to let you down.”
Su Zhuoqian lowered his eyes and did not say anything else. He sat down at the side and accompanied her.
Qiao Weiyang retracted her thoughts and continued working.
…
The next day was Friday. White Fox was officially released.
Sales for advance tickets opened early in the morning.
During this period, most of the movies in the movie theaters were animated movies or family-friendly movies. It was indeed rare to see a fantasy romance like White Fox.
No one from the movie theaters pulled any tricks. They gave 30% of the screenings to test the waters because of Man Tianxing’s name.
Qiao Weiyang had not paid attention to the box office trends since this morning. Instead, she accompanied Xiao Bao to read picture books for the entire morning and Jingyun to write codes for the entire afternoon.
However, Director Cao was very flustered. He and his assistant kept looking at the trend of the box office results.
Director Cao had a very good team, and he had no lack of movies in the past few years.
He had never cared much about the box office results of movies.
However, Director Tian’s suppression of Qiao Weiyang this time and the investors behind him made him feel immense pressure.
It was a sin not to become famous.
Usually, artistes were the ones who usually faced this kind of pressure. This time, Director Cao experienced it for himself.
“Director Cao, why don’t you sleep for a while? You haven’t rested since last night.”
“Alright, I’ll go take a nap. Make a graph of the box office results for me.” After Director Cao said this to his assistant, he lay on the sofa.
The person who was paying more attention to the box office results than him was Qiao Jierou.
Qiao Jierou wanted to use this movie to make a grand return to the industry.
She and Lin Heng even bought tickets to watch the movie in the cinema.
Seeing that the movie theater was full, she couldn’t help but be happy. “Brother Heng, there are quite a lot of people watching my movie.”
“It means that you’re quite popular at the box office.” Lin Heng pulled her to sit down.
The two of them had just sat down when a couple’s conversation came from the side. “I saw the promotional video. Qiao Weiyang was really beautiful in it! I bought the tickets just for her!”
“Yes, what’s most important is that she’s beautiful. It doesn’t matter what the plot is.”
Qiao Jierou’s face fell slightly. Fortunately, the lights in the movie theater were flickering, so she did not have to force a smile.
Lin Heng was about to comfort her when the person beside him whispered, “I wonder if Qiao Weiyang has many scenes in the movie. If she has very few scenes, won’t I have wasted my money?”
“Don’t worry. Didn’t we already see the news back then? Qiao Weiyang is one of the two female leads. She must have a lot of scenes.”
“Then I’m relieved.”
Lin Heng quickly held Qiao Jierou’s hand. “It’s normal for Weiyang to have fans. It just so happens that we met more of them today.”
“Yes, that’s right. It can’t be that everyone is here for her, right?” Qiao Jierou said. She truly thought so.
The movie officially began.
In the movie, Qiao Weiyang did have a lot of scenes, and the number of Qiao Jierou’s scenes was not any fewer either. There were no signs that the post-production stage of the movie had been rushed, and the various special effects were quite good.
After the movie ended, Qiao Jierou heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, even if it didn’t explode in popularity, the sales wouldn’t be too bad.
Then, they heard someone say, “So, Qiao Weiyang has quite a lot of scenes. It’s worth it!”
“Most importantly, her acting skills are not bad!”
“Yes, and I didn’t expect the story to be so full and complete. I used up a box of tissues. My eyes are swollen.”
“Man Tianxing’s work is definitely trustworthy! The name is a guarantee of quality!”
Qiao Jierou and Lin Heng walked out amidst the discussions about Qiao Weiyang. Occasionally, the people would discuss other roles, but no one mentioned Qiao Jierou’s role.
Even Lin Heng was puzzled. She clearly had a lot of scenes and a nice image. She was also a character written by Man Tianxing. There were also character changes. Why was there so little discussion about her character?
They might not be able to understand, but there were indeed actors like this. They had a physique that no one cared about. They clearly looked good and did not have any obvious shortcomings, but when they appeared in a movie or show, they were easily ignored.
If there was a very outstanding character in the work, it would be even worse. They would be even more invisible, making it seem as though they hadn’t acted in the work at all.
Therefore, such actors often could not take on the main role, nor could they withstand the box office results and viewership ratings.
Qiao Jierou had never acted in a work with Qiao Weiyang before, so this characteristic of hers was not obvious.
This time, working with Qiao Weiyang had completely exposed her.
Lin Heng was used to comforting people and said, “So, this hall is full of Qiao Weiyang’s fans. Next time, we’ll get someone to fill up a hall with your fans.”
Qiao Jierou’s expression cleared up. “Okay, let’s watch it again next time. Quick, check the box office results.”
Lin Heng took out his phone and said, “It shouldn’t be too bad. It was at more than 90 million yuan when we entered the venue. I think we can hit 100 million yuan today.”
“100 million is very good. After all, it’ll be showing for a month. Even if the trend slowly falls in the later stages, it shouldn’t make a loss.”
Lin Heng took out his phone and glanced at it. He was so shocked that his cell phone almost fell. “Nearly 300 million?”
Qiao Jierou was pleasantly surprised. “Really?!”
Director Cao had just fallen asleep when his assistant shook him awake.
“What are you doing? Didn’t you say that I should sleep for a while?”
“Director Cao, it’s 300 million! It’s 300 million on the day of release!”
Director Cao jolted and sat up. “What? Let me see!”
“The graphs are all done. The presales were almost 100 million yuan. In the afternoon, there was a climax after work, and then it rose steadily. It’s estimated to hit 300 million yuan today.”
Director Cao immediately stood up. “Quick, quick, quick. I want to make a call!”
…
Zhuojing Villa.
Lu Mingjue bought groceries to make hotpot.
“Boss!” As soon as he entered, he shouted at Su Zhuoqian, “Come, let’s have hotpot. Look at my results today. Shouldn’t you cook a few slices of mutton for me?”
“Isn’t Weiyang the biggest contributor?” Su Zhuoqian said calmly. She was in charge of post-production and publicity.
If she was the second biggest contributor, no one would be first.
“Haven’t I worked hard enough this week? My legs hurt from running around! Butler Xu, hurry up and help me prepare these things. I must eat the meat slices that Boss cooks for me today!”
The butler brought the ingredients into the kitchen to wash them with a smile. He then got someone to stir-fry the hotpot base before sending everything out.
Instantly, the room was filled with the fragrance of hotpot.
Xiao Bao ran over. He took a look and drooled.
