The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1742 - 1734: You Look the Best (Part 1)

Actually, the two of them had this tradition before. When "Storm" was released, they sneaked into the cinema together and almost got recognized.

Same this time. The only difference is that the two are now public, so even if fans bump into them, it’s a bit troublesome, but at least they don’t have to explain their relationship anymore.

This time, they were even bolder and directly went to the largest cinema in the center of Yancheng City, choosing a midnight screening in the IMAX hall.

At the cinema, they found that the youth campus drama had more screenings, 10% more than "Sunrise." Don’t underestimate this 10%; nationwide, it adds up to several hundred million in box office.

But there’s nothing to be done. That movie was produced by a big company, with no lack of money. Whether for promotion or final screenings, what they find difficult, others accomplish with a blink.

Apart from them, a few international romance films also released simultaneously. Fortunately, these international films did not feature any big stars, so their influence was small, with little box office share.

They have already tried their best, and after all, he and Xia Siyu still have some box office appeal, so the final number of screenings secured was not bad.

It’s still the tail end of the Lunar New Year, but the holiday is over. Fortunately, today is Saturday, and quite a few people come to watch movies late at night.

Though they missed the New Year’s holiday, fortunately, just before New Year, there was a small outbreak in China, causing some cinemas to close, affecting the box office. Now, most regions have returned to normal. Even in affected areas, cinemas have reopened, though they require staggered seating for viewing.

Because of this, people’s enthusiasm for watching movies has actually gone up as a form of retaliatory spending. "Divine Catcher" was downgraded to low risk in many regions, and after being reopened for viewing, the box office has increased to 1.8 billion, with ten days left until it’s removed, heading towards 2 billion.

For the investors, this is very pleasing. Bo Yan does not have such big ambitions; as long as there’s no major loss, that’s fine, and a small profit would be best. A big profit is something he never expected.

After all, the tone of the film is somewhat somber, and there isn’t much innovative content. He leaned towards a more "cliché" approach for the sake of box office appeal, focusing more on romance. The only reliance is on a solid script backed by the original work, and the actors add some extra value. Everything is left to chance.

Xia Siyu had also been to this cinema before, then as part of the premiere. She hardly had time to sit and watch for fear of being mobbed by fans; she stealthily slipped in after the movie started and left before it ended to prepare backstage.

Such an experience, sitting among the audience, enjoying popcorn and soda while comfortably watching a full movie, is rare, especially with Bo Yan.

After all, it’s been less than half a year since she and Bo Yan went public. Before that, going out felt like a secret meeting. Last time they watched a movie, it was at a small cinema close to home. The past six months were packed with filming and other work, leaving little time for movies.

Besides, Xia Siyu is quite picky; in the past half-year, there weren’t any movies worthy enough to watch with Bo Yan.

The only consolation now is that Wei Jingjing no longer talks about her losing weight. When filming before, to achieve a dancer’s figure, she lost twenty jin. At 1.68 meters tall and weighing under 90 jin, coupled with her high muscle density as a dancer, she looks even thinner than an average eighty jin person.

Initially, during the Lunar New Year, there wasn’t much work scheduled, so it was supposed to be a time for health-restoration. Unexpectedly, "Divine Catcher" became a hit overseas, and she visited Nanyang and filmed a bunch of variety shows and endorsements, flying up and down. Instead of gaining weight, she got even thinner than during the TV drama shoots.

Just now, when Xia Siyu wanted popcorn, not only did Bo Yan not object, but he got her a large portion, half cheese and half chocolate flavor. He even bought her a big cup of cola without hesitation and asked, "You just got off the plane and haven’t eaten, right? Want me to get you a fried chicken drumstick? Or should we grab something to eat after the movie?"

Xia Siyu smacked her lips, still having some public manners, thinking eating a chicken drumstick in the cinema would affect others. She took the popcorn from Bo Yan and specifically requested spicy crayfish, "I want it spicy, very spicy, I love spicy."

Bo Yan nodded, "Okay."

Xia Siyu was a bit puzzled, "You’re not minding if I eat late-night snacks now?"

Previously, when she was under Wei Jingjing’s watch to lose weight, Bo Yan would also help remind her to watch her calorie intake whenever she ate a bit more.

Bo Yan didn’t say anything, but when they were buying food, a reminder popped up that the movie would start in five minutes, so Bo Yan took her hand and led her inside. Grasping her wrist, he realized her wrist was thin to the bone.

They are artists, and keeping their figure is essential for performance needs. But if possible, he certainly hopes she can eat happily.

One minute before the movie started, they finally found their seats.

Since there were few showings, the attendance rate was pretty high. Although it was a late-night screening, being a premiere attracted quite a few people. The better seats were almost sold out. After sitting down, Xia Siyu sighed, "It’s been so long since I’ve been to the cinema to watch a movie." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The girl sitting next to her overheard and frowned, speaking disdainfully to the man beside her, "What era is this, acting as if watching a movie is such a big deal."

But Xia Siyu continued saying, "There are quite a lot of people watching. The box office shouldn’t be too bad, right?"

The girl next to them curled her lips and muttered again, "What does the box office have to do with her, why get worked up?"

Luckily, the movie started soon, and Xia Siyu didn’t chatter anymore. But she sat next to the girl, munching on popcorn. If you don’t intentionally listen, it’s nothing. But unfortunately, the girl’s attention was already piqued by Xia Siyu’s antics earlier, so now, enduring it was almost impossible.

Fortunately, Xia Siyu only had a few bites before focusing entirely on the plot.

Midway, Xia Siyu started whispering comments; her voice wasn’t loud. If you weren’t beside her, you’d hardly hear it. She said, "This scene wasn’t done well."

The girl next to her couldn’t help but speak up, "Could you please keep it down?"

Xia Siyu naturally responded, "Sorry." Then turned to ask Bo Yan a critical question, "Which looks better, the qipao or me now?"
