The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 958 - 957. Date?

It was magical; the same evening when the official Weibo announced the decision not to delay the movie, the box office exploded.

The results were beyond everyone’s expectations, even Xie Yunqing himself hadn’t anticipated such dramatic developments.

The crew was over the moon!

"Is this the legendary hunger marketing?"

"Totally exhilarating, the online ticket sales soared within half a day after the official Weibo post, I can hardly believe it!"

"Could this be Director Xie’s unique promotional tactic, stimulating consumption?"

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, Director Xie is indeed Director Xie, I’m totally convinced now!"

Director Xie: "..."

You might not believe it, but I was actually just planning to get ’That Era’ to compete in this year’s film awards earlier.

But now nobody cares about his original intentions, the box office trend has been revived, could there be anything more exciting than this? Time to celebrate!

When the crew members were pairing up to go out for skewers and beer, a young couple who had chosen to date tonight felt a bit awkward.

Tang Shu was almost squeezed aside by a girl nearby again when Jing Yu skillfully pulled her into his arms, his handsome brows furrowing ever tighter.

"I remember today is Monday."

This made the usually calm Big Boss Jing somewhat frantic, considering his girlfriend’s status, he had deliberately chosen an off-peak time, never expecting the sudden turn of events.

Tang Shu buried her face in his broad chest to avoid the crowd, and reached up with a small hand to pull up her black mask, her voice muffled.

"What do we do now?"

"Let’s find somewhere to sit, I’ll go get the tickets."

Now that we’re here, can we really go back?

Jing Yu pulled her a bit closer into his embrace, and using his height advantage, quickly found a relatively quiet corner to settle her down before striding toward the ticket vending machine.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded her, "It’s very crowded, take good care of yourself, I’ll be back soon."

"Got it, I’ll wait for you."

Tang Shu had no idea where his worry was coming from, yet her heart was still content because of his words.

I’m really hopeless.

I’ve never imagined that I would be like this when in love, acting like a little idiot with my intelligence gone on vacation.

"Oh, I like orange juice, and for popcorn... how about caramel flavor?"

Jing Yu let out a light laugh, his dark eyes shining brightly, and he also reached out to press down her black hat.

"As you wish."

Those three simple words were spoken with an indulgent tone by the person himself.

Even as Big Boss Jing’s tall figure disappeared into the bustling crowd, Tang Shu, leaning against the wall, was still immersed in the smile he had just shared.

"This is really something, should I prepare a mask for him at all times?"

Even though Tang Shu tried to keep a low profile, standing next to someone so outstanding in looks, height, and presence meant that the couple was bound to attract attention.

When Jing Yu reappeared in the corner with a box of popcorn in his arms, the curious eyes of the passing crowd couldn’t help but glance over.

"Click——"

Both of them turned to look to the side at the same time and spotted a young girl holding up her phone awkwardly looking their way, who eventually waved her little hand uncertainly.

"Hi~~ um... you guys are such a perfect match, do you mind if I keep this photo?"

She really didn’t want to delete it, wailing~ Mom, she met a character straight out of a novel today! Although she couldn’t see the full features of the girl opposite to her due to the mask, those eyes and figure were enough to confirm she was undoubtedly a beauty.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, it would be a crime not to take a picture with this new Fruit brand phone~

Jing Yu was so pleased with the phrase "such a perfect match" that he chuckled softly.

"I don’t mind, and if it’s possible, I’d like you to send the picture to my girlfriend."

"Absolutely, absolutely!"

The young girl nodded vigorously, her eyes shining brightly.

***

It was only after entering the cinema that Tang Shu realized the caramel popcorn she was holding was a bit redundant.

—With the mask on, she couldn’t possibly eat anything!

Alas, a miscalculation~~

She shoved the popcorn bucket into Jing Yu’s arms, her eyes reluctant to move away, eliciting repeated glances from Jing Yu at her pitiful look.

The person in question blushed from being stared at and started to appreciate the existence of the black mask on her face—it at least covered her embarrassment, right?

"The movie has started."

If it weren’t because her arms were full, Tang Shu would have loved to turn her boyfriend’s head back around.

"But the star is already by my side, and compared to the illusory characters on the screen, it’s clear that the real you is what I care about more."

"..."

Hey! You’re cheating, okay?

Tang Shu tried to salvage what little wit she had left, "I think you should respect the hard work your girlfriend and cousin put into making this film."

"Hmm... That’s true."

Jing Yu knew when to quit while ahead, and with great understanding reverted his gaze from her embarrassment and focused his attention back onto the big screen across from them.

The movie "Typhoon" gradually began, telling the arduous and fearless story of revolutionary people from That Era.

Perhaps because of tonight’s high attendance, the atmosphere in the movie theater was particularly good, and as the story deepened, even those watching for the second time were moved by the clever confrontations between the male and female leads and the enemy, and soon, gasps and sighs of emotion were heard around them.

In the movie, whether dressed in a cheongsam or a silk nightgown, Tang Shu’s every move radiated endless charm, and her exquisite acting took the story to another level.

This woman acted as a harmless wife by her husband’s side in front of others but was an intelligence supernova and revolutionary behind the scenes.

As Tang Shu’s figure faded from the screen and the male lead’s scenes began to play, Jing Yu’s eyes drifted from the big screen to his girlfriend sitting next to him, happily sipping orange juice.

Her acting has improved again.

More captivating than her performance in the "Factory" play, her entire being emitted an allure that astounded him to see such growth.

Amidst gunshots ringing out fiercely, the young woman who transformed from Miss Qi to Madam Qi ultimately gave her life for her riddled country, her blood nurturing hope.

The cinema echoed with waves of crying, and the audience almost cursed Director Xie Yunqing and Screenwriter Liu to new heights for their storytelling.

Tang Shu also detached herself from the story, only to realize that her companion had been watching her the whole time, quietly, his pitch-black pupils shining with a disturbingly intense heat in the dim light of the theater.

"Cough, how’s the movie?"

"The acting is great," Jing Yu gave a genuinely fair assessment.
