Chapter 996: Chapter 996: The Most Beautiful Scenery I’ve Ever Seen
Sheng Tang and Gu Shiting were chatting in the hospital lounge.
When "Lady Bai" was on the hot screening, Sheng Tang attended two promotional events, and then her grandfather fell ill.
During this period, she has been helping her grandfather fend off nuisances and is often at the hospital.
"Lady Bai" ended its screening yesterday, the total box office came out, and she hasn’t paid much attention to it.
Gu Shiting was very happy for her.
"My sister says that there’s a saying circulating in the industry: you’re seen as the movie world’s lucky charm, any film you act in, no matter how bad, can flip its fate." Gu Shiting laughed.
Sheng Tang: "..."
This saying, she doesn’t know where it started, but it’s widely spread now.
Anyway, it’s not a hype from Sheng Tang’s company.
She’s lucky also because she’s very perceptive.
"The turnaround for ’Lady Bai’ was certainly not because of me." Sheng Tang said.
This has already been analyzed by sharp-eyed people in the market.
The reasons for "Lady Bai" turning around: first, high quality, with excellent special effects and storyline; second, effective reverse marketing that didn’t offend the audience.
Thus, when someone saw it, they praised "Lady Bai" and teased Lady Bai’s image, which brought good feelings and curiosity.
This was the first reverse marketing in the film industry, done deeply impacting.
"...At that time, Huatai Film and Television aimed for the top box office of the Spring Festival release but only got second, worse than expected." Sheng Tang said, "Besides, if the film hadn’t been high-quality, no amount of reverse marketing would have achieved such a high box office."
Gu Shiting didn’t quite agree with this.
There are many good movies.
A thousand people have a thousand ideas. Ordinary viewers are easily swayed by reviews.
If everyone says it’s no good, viewers might nitpick and not even feel like watching.
"You insisted on not changing the schedule and suggested them reverse marketing, that’s why ’Lady Bai’ had a high box office." Gu Shiting said, "That’s the luck you brought to ’Lady Bai’!"
Sheng Tang wanted to say more, but her phone rang.
The last time "Lady Bai" broke ten million at the box office, a small celebration party was held, but Sheng Tang didn’t attend.
She was busy going home to see her parents and taking care of her grandfather.
Now, Liu Taofang called her again.
"The film’s screening is over, this time we’re holding a bigger celebration party, combined with the supermodel celebration, you must come!" Liu Taofang’s voice was excited.
There’s a reality show that selects supermodels, this is the second season, with very high ratings.
They started airing at the end of last year, a total of twelve episodes, one per week, and just ended yesterday.
Huatai Film and Television has a good relationship with them, both sides decided to hold a joint celebration to make it more lively.
Sheng Tang’s head was about to burst when she heard it.
"Brother Liu, let me think about it..."
"Don’t think about it, you have to come!" Liu Taofang said, "You’re the main character Sheng Tang, the number one star! If you don’t come, this celebration party will be as dull as the last one! Also, I have friends to introduce you to, in short, you must come. Bring your boyfriend along!"
Sheng Tang still wanted to say something.
Liu Taofang couldn’t wait and hung up the phone.
Sheng Tang looked at Gu Shiting with some difficulty.
"...I have to attend the celebration party. But, I’m afraid I can’t take you with me." Sheng Tang said, "Gu Jiahui might be invited."
Gu Shiting smiled, not minding: "It’s okay, I can go alone."
Sheng Tang: "..."
"Isn’t there also supermodels?"
Sheng Tang: "You want to see supermodels?"
"I’ve seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, everything else pales in comparison." Gu Shiting whispered in her ear.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Young Master Gu always finds a moment to flirt with her.
Sheng Tang couldn’t help but smile, in a rather good mood.
