Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 850: Surprise at the First Day’s Box Office

Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Surprise at the First Day’s Box Office

Sheng Tang always felt like they were a group of kindergarten kids, all agreeing not to eat snacks and waiting until mealtime.

The more she thought about it, the more amusing it seemed.

However, with the midnight screening being a bottom-liner in box office terms, everyone felt at ease.

Now Liu Taofang was anxious to know only the first-day box office numbers, no longer worried about the film being a flop.

Time flew by while they played cards.

Liu Taofang said, "If you were a guy, we could go out for a drink to get through today."

Mrs. Liu shot him an annoyed glance.

After dinner, they didn’t play cards again, but gathered to chat.

When it came to gossip, Mrs. Liu knew a lot and chatted away with Sheng Tang.

Knowing that Sheng Tang was an artist with Guanghong Media, Mrs. Liu asked if she knew Fu Qingcen.

"I do, she’s our company’s top actress."

"Ha, that woman." Mrs. Liu expressed disdain for Fu Qingcen, recounting many infamous stories.

How she climbed up, how she stirred things up, even claiming Fu Qingcen hooked up with the former president of Guanghong Media, hinting she was the old president’s mistress, leading to her current status.

"She served the old one and then followed the young one; that woman’s taste is something else," Mrs. Liu said.

Liu Taofang coughed vigorously beside her.

Mrs. Liu thought he was just forbidding her gossiping and didn’t stop, asking Ke Fei, "I’m not making this up, Old Ke has been an old manager at Guanghong, you know, right?"

Ke Fei was also embarrassed.

He replied, "These might all be rumors. About Old President Gu’s affairs, we’re not sure, but Young President Gu is innocent. Our Young President Gu is a very devoted person, right, Tangtang?"

Sheng Tang smiled slightly.

Liu Taofang continued, hinting at Sheng Tang, "Young President Gu is indeed very devoted. Last time when he visited the set, he took good care of Mr. Sheng. Such a boyfriend should be cherished. There’s too much gossip in the entertainment industry, none of it is reliable."

Mrs. Liu: "..."

She felt a bit awkward herself.

She gossiped to pass the time, with no ill intent. Besides, her dislike was towards Fu Qingcen, not intending to drag Sheng Tang into it.

She wasn’t aware that Sheng Tang was Young President Gu’s current girlfriend.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was socially adept and quickly changed the subject.

They chatted till midnight.

Once it was past midnight, everyone picked up their phones.

Mrs. Liu was the first to exclaim, "Oh, it’s exceeded!"

Everyone was waiting for their phones to boot up.

Liu Taofang saw it soon after.

The first-day box office of "Genius Girl": 91 million, exceeding the midnight screening numbers by 13%, indicating its potential was greater than she had expected.

Liu Taofang was all smiles.

He held his phone, smiling foolishly for a minute before addressing Sheng Tang and Ke Fei.

Suddenly, Liu Taofang recalled the last time during promotions, when Sheng Tang predicted the box office might exceed one billion.

Back then, Liu Taofang thought she was talking nonsense, that she was out of her mind.

Now, thinking back, her grasp of the market and film was frighteningly accurate.

Additionally, her willingness to invest and join the film with zero salary indicated she wasn’t blindly optimistic from the start about the project.

She was by no means just another clueless beauty.

She was a filmmaker with an extremely sharp sense.

"Mr. Sheng, I..." Liu Taofang was thoroughly convinced but didn’t know what to say, "When you mentioned the total box office last time, I internally criticized you.

Previously, I also nagged you with my complaints, but now that I think about it, it was my own immaturity! Mr. Sheng, I must apologize to you. Your grasp of the film was spot on!"

Mrs. Liu had never seen her husband so humble and felt a bit of respect for Sheng Tang. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Sheng Tang just smiled, her thoughts elsewhere, glancing at Ke Fei.

She signaled to Ke Fei to check the rankings below.

Another movie invested by Guanghong Media, "High Heels," also released yesterday, and its first-day box office results were out.

Ke Fei took a look and his expression turned slightly reserved.
