689 Can’t Be Bitter
[New Year’s little cookie, this is my favorite is campus drama!]
[I’m so happy watching this. It’s a school comedy, yyds!]
[Everyone’s acting skills are good. She’s so beautiful! I want to take a screenshot of every frame as my computer screensaver!]
[Ah, ah, ah! I can’t buy the tickets! It’s all sold out! QAQ]
[I’m relieved to see that my daughter’s movie is so popular.]
The audience in the real-time update all posted their ticket coupons, and almost all of them were positive.

“What’s the situation?” Xie Yunzhou asked when he returned to the company.
“After some discussion, the production team of [Sky Blue] has decided not to accept any investments.”
Xie Yunzhou’s brows furrowed slightly. “Didn’t we agree on this before? Why did they go back on their word?”
“The director team found a suitable female lead. After some consideration, they decided to reject our investment.”
Xie Yunzhou’s only requirement for his investment was to have a female lead.
They had a good discussion before, but the other party suddenly went back on their word.
“I’ll pay more.” Xie Yunzhou’s reply was simple and brutal.

The manager of the Planning Department wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “It’s already reached nine figures, but the other party hasn’t given up.”
“Give more,” Xie Yunzhou said.
The manager of the Planning Department called the person in charge of [Sky Blue] immediately.
After a long argument, the planning manager reported to Xie Yunzhou, “The other party said that they can’t appoint the female lead internally, but they can give us the role of the supporting female lead. They only need to collect the original investment amount.”
“I only want the female lead,” Xie Yunzhou said.
Since he was going to give it to Shi Xi, he should give her the best.
The manager of the Planning Department looked troubled as he continued to call the other party.
However, the other party refused to give in.
Under the temptation of money, the other party actually persevered.
The manager of the Planning Department tried to persuade him for more than ten minutes before shaking his head. “President Xie, the other party still doesn’t agree.”
“Who’s the female lead they want?” Xie Yunzhou asked.
If they couldn’t solve the problem with the investors, they would go to the female lead that the other party had set.
“They’re not willing to disclose it. They want to keep it a secret.”
In fact, he had guessed that Xie Yunzhou might cause trouble for the female lead, so he had kept it a secret.
Xie Yunzhou reached out his hand. “Give me the phone.”
When he tried to talk to another person, the other party still did not relent, but he still wanted to invest.
Xie Yunzhou: How can it be that good?
“Even if you don’t tell me who my female lead is now, I’ll still know who you’ve decided on after you start filming. Maybe she doesn’t want to act in your drama,” Xie Yunzhou said lightly.
The person in charge of [Sky Blue] listened to his half-threatening and half-tempting words and finally told Xie Yunzhou that he had decided on the female lead.
Xie Yunzhou’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, it’s her?”
“President Xie, this has nothing to do with her.”
“If you’re not willing to invest, we can discuss it.”
“But don’t target the actress. She’s very good at acting, so she’s the most suitable candidate.”
Xie Yunzhou: “…”
The person in charge of [Sky Blue]: “We haven’t announced to the public that we’ve decided on the female lead. Can you help us keep this a secret, President Xie?”
“Sure,” Xie Yunzhou replied.
It was just a small matter.
Xie Yunzhou did not really care about the entertainment industry, and he did not gossip.
After hanging up the phone, the manager of the Planning Department looked at the smile on Xie Yunzhou’s face and felt even more afraid.
Was President Xie smiling out of anger?
“Draw up a normal investment contract,” Xie Yunzhou said, “And remove the conditions for the designated female lead.”
The manager of the Planning Department was speechless.
The manager of the Planning Department left the office in confusion.
What was happening?
His assistant came in with a cup of coffee. “Boss, we’re already working on the box office.”
Xie Yunzhou nodded. “If there’s any news, let me know immediately.”

On the second day, everyone was looking forward to the release of these two movies on their first day.
Which movie had a higher box office?
The netizens seemed to be watching a lottery draw.
…
The statistics website released the box office data of the two movies on the first day.
[First day box office for [Bio-Human]: 69.21 million.]
[First day box office for Energetic Girl]: 130 million.]
[When I see the unit, I know that Shi Xi has won.]
[Isn’t this too ridiculous? [Energetic Girl] outdid [Bio-Human]?]
[I feel like [Energetic Girl] is not as popular as [Bio-Human]! Is the box office fake?]
After the data was released, some people immediately began to doubt the authenticity of the box office.
[Oh ho, [Bio-Human] has a lot of discussion, but aren’t they all scolding it for being a lousy drama?]
[You’ve broken your defense just because [Energetic Girl] has a high box office? The box office earnings contributed by the fans are already in the tens of millions! Wouldn’t it be easy to break a hundred million?]
[A certain fan is so easily satisfied. My Nan Wan’s previous box office sales of 1.2 billion were not as good as a certain fan’s.]
[No, what’s the big deal about box office sales exceeding 100 million? Don’t movies nowadays break the 100 million mark every minute?]
…
[So, why didn’t [Bio-Human] break the 100 million mark?]
[Nan Wan isn’t the female lead, she’s just a part of it. [Bio-Human] is a bad drama to begin with.]
Nan Wan’s fans were also divided into two types:
A portion of them thought that the movie was great and wanted to continue bragging.
The other group felt that the movie was too bad and it had dragged Nan Wan down.
When Shi Xi saw that [Energetic Girl] had earned 130 million yuan at the box office on the first day, she was also shocked.
She was already very satisfied when Han Chuan said that the box office sales would be around 50 million yuan yesterday.
She didn’t expect it to break 100 million!
The box office on the first day broke 100 million, and the official Weibo immediately sent a colorful highlight reel of the breakthrough.
[@Energetic Girl Official Weibo: Congratulations [Energetic Girl] for breaking the 100 million mark on its first day! I’ll give everyone Xi Xi’s colorful egg behind-the-scenes!]
[P.S. When the box office hits 200 million, we’ll continue to broadcast more highlights!]
The post-credits that were released were some funny scenes during the filming of the movie.
It was nothing to the producers, but it was extremely precious to the fans.
That was the Shi Xi Xi that was even more lively and lively than in the movie!
Some fans secretly asked, [We want to know what the behind-the-scenes footage of breaking the 200 million mark is?]
[@Energetic Girl Official Weibo: You’ll know if it can break 200 million!]
[I’m treating the entire class to a movie! Can the official account reward me with a wake up voice message from Xi Xi?]
[Ah, ah, ah! I want it too! This is my movie ticket!]
[I love you, I love you! I also want to hear my wife’s voice call!]
[Wake-up voice message, don’t omit it! You can’t be smug!]
After the official Weibo account released the highlights of the 200 million box office sales, the comments section was filled with peace, and they wanted Shi Xi to wake up.
Oh no, it was a wake-up call.
It can’t be the same.
Meanwhile, the Weibo post of [Bio-Human] was full of criticism.
The official Weibo account of [Bio-Human] finally made a statement.
[@Bio-Human Official Weibo: This movie is about the harmony and opposition between bio-humans and humans.]
[For the sake of every living being on this planet, he will die with pride and no regrets!]
[This movie used the most advanced special effects technology…]
[Only people with high appreciation ability can understand this movie.]
The meaning of the entire Weibo post was:
A group of country bumpkins who don’t understand what is going on, don’t come and point.
