Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Overtaken
Xiao Mei took out her phone and started fiddling with it, and her friend asked her what she was doing.
Without looking up, Xiao Mei replied, "Second viewing!"
A second viewing wasn’t enough; Xiao Mei even brought her friends to watch it together.
After watching, her friends then recommended it to their other friends.
Just like that, one person told another, and by the time the box office updated the next day, "The Kite" had doubled its takings, surpassing six hundred million and showing an upward trend.
Meanwhile, "The Palace Wall" saw its daily box office drop to 178 million.
Compared with its opening day revenue, the decrease was significant, but it was what most people had expected.
—Yesterday bought an embarrassing hot search, talking about crushing the competition, don’t they know their own real status?
—"The Palace Wall" really just took advantage of the drama version. If it wasn’t for some actors keeping their roles, I would have thought I watched a fake "The Palace Wall".
—Audiences aren’t foolish; just the comments on Tiffany Lynch’s acting are awkward.
—"The Kite" is genuinely good. I heard they even bought and rebuilt a school for the filming, that big budget really makes a difference.
—As a fan of Hayes Edwards, seeing his acting made me want to cry, he has truly grown, and as a fan, I’m so moved.
—My Hannah is so beautiful and talented in acting, the ending made me want to cry, strongly recommend it to all my friends!
—Seeing the haters bash "The Kite" yesterday really made my heart ache for my Hannah; if it weren’t for the fan club telling us not to argue with them, I really would have lost it and started cursing.
—What’s the rush, it’s only the second day, who knows what might happen later, maybe Tiffany Lynch will make a comeback?
And with that, the once proud Tiffany Lynch fans who cried "crush" on the first day were now waiting for a reversal.
No matter what, one mustn’t lose face.
The crushing hot search on the first day made a big scene, and with all those self-promoting articles Tiffany Lynch released, the main idea revolved around one point—Tiffany Lynch’s acting far surpasses Hannah Winter, with limitless potential.
As for the so-called slanderous rumors, they were surely orchestrated by the rival camp deliberately blackening her name.
And naturally, that envious and malevolent rival ended up being Hannah.
Tiffany Lynch had a good plan, intending to take advantage of "The Palace Wall"’s heat to whitewash her own image.
But unexpectedly, on the second day, "The Palace Wall" was overtaken by "The Kite"’s box office.
Her joy was short-lived.
As for the so-called comeback, it never came. What did come was "The Kite"’s continuously rising box office numbers.
So far, it has already broken one billion, and now people online are predicting that "The Kite" could potentially exceed two billion at the box office.
"Two billion?" Tiffany Lynch couldn’t help but scoff when she saw the news, she was even close to passing out from anger, "Why doesn’t he say two hundred billion? Is he blowing it up because Hannah Winter gave him some kind of benefit?"
Her manager was sitting nearby, saying nothing.
Assistants had been coming and going, the last one didn’t even last two months before insisting on leaving, not even wanting compensation, running off as fast as they could.
So now the job of the assistant was temporarily being covered by the manager.
As for the box office situation, it was somewhat beyond the manager’s expectations.
Based on the advertising for "The Kite" beforehand, the chances of a box office explosion were indeed possible, but what was unexpected was that not only did it blow up at the box office, but it also received rave reviews.
The internet was filled with nothing but praise.
Even professional trolls couldn’t drown out all those positive reviews.
There were even many famous film critics stepping forward to say "The Kite" was a movie that would undoubtedly leave its mark on film history.
Such high praise.
At the beginning, when "The Kite" announced its main cast, there was no shortage of mockers.
