Chapter 522: Tai Jiong Explodes in Popularity

(Stopped updating for several months, there shouldn't be anyone left, coming back to write the finale.)

In fact, the public's evaluation of the movie "Tai Jiong" is mixed; most people feel it is full of humor and sufficient to serve as a seasoning in life.

A minority feel it is barely satisfactory.

After they watched the film, various reviews appeared on the ticket-purchasing websites.

【The movie is not bad, it made me laugh so hard my sanitary pad couldn't even hold it.】

【I generally don't laugh, unless I can't help it; highly recommend this movie.】

【Good review, you can take your girlfriend to see it on a date.】

【Average, it's not bad for killing time.】

Overall, positive reviews occupy an absolute advantage. After netizens saw these comments, a domino effect quietly emerged; one told ten, ten told a hundred, and either good friends went together or young couples went on intimate dates.

For a time, the box office of "Tai Jiong" climbed rapidly like a snowball.

Early the next morning, just as Shen Yan woke up from his sleep, he received a message from Xu Zheng, the lines filled with excitement and agitation, as well as irrepressible joy.

The first-day box office for "Tai Jiong" is out.

It ranked first in daily box office, totaling 42 million.

This result is not bad at all; speaking solely of the mainland box office, even the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Inception" is a notch inferior. After all, "Inception" has already been showing for ten days, and its current box office performance is on a downward trend.

As for blockbusters like the old master's "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "Fist of Legend: Chen Zhen", and "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame", these super blockbusters with big stars and famous directors are not even a match for "Tai Jiong".

This made Xu Zheng, who was directing a movie for the first time, feel secretly delighted; when he walked, it was as if his feet were light and airy, as if wind were beneath them.

Look! The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach; he, a greenhorn just starting out, actually managed to knock down top-tier directors.

According to the current momentum, there is still very broad room for the box office to rise; breaking even is a given, and there is even great potential for profit.

The only thing Xu Zheng regrets is that as the director, he can only get a meager share of the box office; the real big chunks are being carved up by the cinema lines, Guangxian Media, and Shen Yan.

Compared to Xu Zheng's excitement and agitation, Shen Yan is as steady as an old dog.

This box office result was within his expectations. He knows very well that it is not because "Tai Jiong" is how wonderful, or that Xu Zheng's directing skills are how exquisite; it can only be said that the movie itself caters to the market, and a high box office is within reason.

Shen Yan is not quite sure what the first-day box office of "Tai Jiong" was in his past life. In this life, "Tai Jiong" signed with the largest domestic Wanda Cinema Line, and with the added boost from "Wanda Film", the box office revenue from the online ticketing channel increased, so the final box office is very likely to break the record of his past life.

Therefore: "If a person wants to succeed, strength and luck are both indispensable."

In the following time, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the box office of "Tai Jiong" showed explosive growth: 42 million, 59 million, 63 million...

It broke 100 million in just two days, breaking the record for the fastest to 100 million in mainland film history.

Everyone in the industry watched with their jaws dropped; those famous directors felt their heads buzzing, and they only had one thought: "Is there something wrong with the brains of this generation of viewers? Why is such a vulgar movie so popular?"

Top-tier director "Little Cannon" even bombarded "Tai Jiong" as a trash film in front of media reporters: "It is because there are so many trashy viewers that such a trashy movie was created."

He wanted to use this to suppress the momentum of "Tai Jiong".

However, this statement not only failed to curb the continuous rise of "Tai Jiong"'s box office, but instead acted as a catalyst.

The public responded: "Life pressure is too high, we just like watching this kind of stress-relieving movie."

It made "Little Cannon" so angry his blood pressure soared, yet it was of no avail.

Fan Bingbing even specially sent a message to Shen Yan: "It's incredible, the National Day holiday starts tomorrow. At this rate, it might really break the box office record (surprised)."

Shen Yan: "Haha, remember if you lose, you'll endorse my company for free for two years."

Fan Bingbing: "(Crying)(Crying) You skinflint, you've made a fortune from the box office, yet you're still stingy about that little bit of endorsement fee."

"Can't help it, company expansion needs money everywhere (smirk)."

Fan Bingbing: "Believe you, ghost. By the way, Happy Camp airs tonight, you can watch it if you have time."

Regarding this, Shen Yan just smiled indifferently and continued to occupy the warm and fragrant jade in his arms in the office.

At this moment, the spring light outside the window was bright, and the birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. Shen Yan leaned comfortably on his chair, and Fang Tian was sitting sideways on his lap, her curvaceous body wrapped in a gray professional suit.

Feeling the large hand gradually sliding down from her waist, Fang Tian's cheeks flushed with a maiden's shyness, but she had no intention of stopping him at all. Instead, she lifted her body and snuggled sideways into Shen Yan's arms to make it easier for him to take further action.

This woman was as obedient and docile as ever, granting Shen Yan whatever he wanted.

While feeling that exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio, Shen Yan said: "I have already moved into a new house. How about you move into my old apartment? That way it will be more convenient for commuting. Always living with your younger brother, sometimes it's inconvenient when I want to come over to see you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Tian was naturally surprised, but she also had concerns: "If Miss Shanni asks... should I just say the boss asked me to come over to look after the house?"

"Smart!"

Shen Yan kissed her on the forehead: "Just find any excuse for Fang Tian. In the future, when he gets married, that apartment in Yuhang District will be his wedding house."

"Thank you, boss!"

Fang Tian smiled sweetly, with no intention of being polite with Shen Yan at all. She was a woman who was devoted to one man; her man was her heaven. Since she had entrusted her whole life to Shen Yan, Shen Yan's words were imperial edicts to her.

What's more, Shen Yan making such a promise was precisely a sign that he cherished her.

Seeming to have thought of something, Fang Tian said somewhat embarrassedly: "Boss, you should pay attention to your health. Doing that kind of thing too much drains your vital energy."

If it were just herself, Fang Tian definitely wouldn't say such things, but Shen Yan had so many women to deal with, and she was truly afraid that Shen Yan wouldn't be able to hold back and would exhaust his own essence and Qi.

"What? Do I look weak?" Shen Yan revealed a wicked smile.

Fang Tian hurriedly explained: "No, no, the boss is strong and vigorous. I'm just worried... worried that the boss is overexerting himself. There is an old saying that goes: In youth, one doesn't know the value of essence; in old age, one looks at women and sheds tears in vain."

The more she spoke, the smaller Fang Tian's voice became, and by the end, it was almost inaudible, her cheeks so red they could drip blood.

It made Shen Yan laugh heartily.

He patted Fang Tian's little bottom and said with a faint smile: "Alright, go out and work. Don't always get distracted and come in to seduce the boss."

Fang Tian gave him a charming, coquettish glare.

It was clearly this guy who pulled her over to do bad things, but in the end, it became her fault.
