Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 857: 3 Billion Box Office Leading Lady

After the call with Zheng Weiwei, Sheng Tang lay in bed for a long time without falling asleep.

"30 billion leading lady." This number echoed in Sheng Tang’s mind.

Yesterday Gu Shiting also called to invite her to celebrate, but Sheng Tang didn’t go.

Because she didn’t know what to do.

She had been busy since the beginning of the year, and it was very hot outside, so Sheng Tang just wanted to stay in an air-conditioned room.

Unless it was for a vacation, she didn’t want to leave the house.

"From now on, I’ll no longer need to audition, roles will be sent to me." For no reason at all, this thought appeared in Sheng Tang’s mind again.

She wasn’t particularly averse to auditions, but she did feel that competing with several people for a role was exhausting, and even a bit pathetic.

During auditions, no matter how she performed, she always understood in her heart: I have no dignity, just like a piece of meat, being picked over by directors and producers.

Now, she doesn’t need to be the meat anymore, unless one day she truly becomes obsolete.

Sheng Tang hopes that before she becomes obsolete, she can earn enough money.

The final box office of "Genius Girl" will definitely exceed 1 billion.

"This timeline is really great, the box office share for the film’s producers is 45%. In my previous world, the share was only 39%, there is indeed a difference." When Sheng Tang thought of this, she couldn’t help but think of the share for "Genius Girl."

She invested 30 million, which was half of the initial cost, as stated in the contract.

After deducting 10% for the producer and 6% for the director from the contract, Sheng Tang, as the female lead, would get 10%. Sheng Tang’s 30 million investment can get a 37% share of the box office.

She could get a pre-tax investment return of nearly 170 million. Even if she gave half to Gu Jiahui, with the female lead share and the share from Zheng Weiwei, her assets would exceed 100 million.

She’s not young in the entertainment industry, but she’s really been in the industry for less than two years, and she’s quite satisfied with such achievements. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Amidst her joyful money calculations, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Ding Ruifan’s wife called Sheng Tang.

She congratulated Sheng Tang on the movie’s box office success.

"... I really didn’t expect this movie to turn out so excellent. Just like ’Workplace,’ which was unprecedented before, all started a trend." Mrs. Ding said, "I’ve been a producer for so many years, and I misjudged. Congratulations, Tangtang."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Sheng Tang hurriedly replied.

"Come over for a meal when you have time, your Brother Ding is about to take on a new project. He’s hesitating between two scripts, and we’d like to hear your thoughts." Mrs. Ding chuckled.

Sheng Tang: "..."

She didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Ding continued, "I’m not just being polite, your Brother Ding really wants to hear. The two films you chose are both quite good. We seem to be a bit outdated, disconnected from the current trends, I’d love to hear your insights too."

Sheng Tang was quite embarrassed.

She really didn’t have that kind of talent, she didn’t even have the experience.

She quickly declined.

On the other side, Mrs. Ding wasn’t really expecting anything from Sheng Tang, just using it as an excuse to deepen their relationship. Besides, listening to other people’s opinions isn’t a bad thing.

Seeing Sheng Tang being so modest, Mrs. Ding didn’t say anything further, just arranging to have a meal when there’s time.

After hanging up, Sheng Tang still felt a bit guilty.

Mrs. Ding then said to her husband, "Tangtang is quite grounded; she hasn’t become conceited after one or two films. To be honest, I think highly of her. She might become a legendary figure in Chinese cinema in the future."

"Debuted two years, already with a 30 billion box office, indeed she’s better than I am." Ding Ruifan laughed too.

Speaking of Sheng Tang’s new film, Ding Ruifan said, "Really didn’t expect this movie to be so good, Liu Taofang really turned things around. Call him when you have time, don’t lose the connection."

"When the box office exceeds 10 billion, Huatai Film and Television will host a celebration party, they’re sure to invite us." Mrs. Ding said, "Then have a few words with Liu Taofang, we have some connection after all."
