Chapter 992: Chapter 992: A Small Miracle
That night, Sheng Tang and the others stayed at Zhou Yu’s house.
Zhou Yu’s house was just like Sheng Tang’s, with five rooms.
He didn’t have a study; all the rooms were made into guest rooms.
Everyone had their own room.
Later, Gu Shiting sneaked into Sheng Tang’s room and kissed her.
He asked Sheng Tang, "Are you worried about the box office?"
"I’m okay, not particularly worried," Sheng Tang said. "I’m not the one investing. My pay has already been settled, so there’s nothing for me to worry about."
"Still nervous, aren’t you?" Gu Shiting asked.
Sheng Tang nodded, "Of course, I definitely hope it does better in terms of box office. With a 200 million investment, this is a big production.
Compared to William and Wang Chuiyang, I’m the one concerned about the box office. The pressure on them is nowhere near as big as mine. For whatever reason, if a big production flops, it will definitely affect future prospects."
Gu Shiting gently brushed her cheek, "The movie is really good, and you look stunning in it. I feel like you’re not even yourself."
Sheng Tang: "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"
Gu Shiting leaned over and gently kissed her lips.
Then they talked about the trip to Scotland.
Sheng Tang felt regretful.
"After the movie releases, if the box office doesn’t completely flop, there will definitely be some follow-up promotional activities to catch up on," Sheng Tang said. "Did you cancel that cabin in the woods?"
"No, I rented it for a month; it wasn’t expensive," Gu Shiting said. "If there’s time afterward, we can stay for three to five days."
Sheng Tang nodded.
Gu Shiting then said, "Can I stay here tonight?"
Sheng Tang shook her head, "No, everyone is sleeping separately; let’s not make things awkward."
Gu Shiting lightly pecked her lips.
He didn’t ask Sheng Tang why she brought Gu Jiahui, nor did he make a fuss about it.
He knew Sheng Tang had worked hard all year and just wanted her to have a pleasant Spring Festival.
Early the next morning, Gu Jiahui was the first to wake up.
He went downstairs to buy breakfast.
When Brother Zhou got up and saw the breakfast, he was a bit delighted, "Is there breakfast downstairs?"
"The fast-food restaurant didn’t close," Gu Jiahui said, "Just eat something simple."
He sat down himself and started looking at his phone, then his face didn’t look so good.
Zhou Yu, sitting across from him, tentatively asked, "Checking the movie box office?"
"Yes."
"Midnight show wasn’t ideal?" Zhou Yu asked again.
Gu Jiahui: "Yesterday’s screening was in sixth place, but the midnight show box office was seventh, with over three million."
"Is that really bad?"
"If calculated by probability, the first day’s box office might only be thirty to forty million. The competition is very fierce right now, and the screenings might drop even more tomorrow, with almost no screenings after three days," Gu Jiahui said.
Zhou Yu, hearing this, was also very nervous, "That will lose a lot, right?"
"Yes."
"That’s really pretty miserable," Zhou Yu said.
Gu Jiahui didn’t dare to be optimistic either.
Sheng Tang didn’t wake up early.
She and Qin Lin, being two lazybones, slept until noon.
When they got up, Zhou Yu and Gu Shiting were making lunch in the kitchen, and Gu Jiahui was working on his laptop at the dining table.
While having lunch, Sheng Tang glanced at the box office.
"It’s sixth," Sheng Tang said, "Seems like it climbed one spot."
Gu Jiahui nodded, "The midnight show was pretty bad, all because of previous bad reputations. But after watching, many people praised it as good, and the public opinion has risen slightly."
Sheng Tang nodded.
She didn’t pay attention to it anymore.
What they needed to do was already done; now they just waited for the results.
However, unexpectedly, the box office for "White Snake" experienced a boost in the evening.
By the end of the first day, its box office amazingly reached seventy million, ranking fourth in the total box office for the Spring Festival, more than twenty times the midnight show, creating a small miracle.
