Chapter 12: Three Days After Release, Box Office Explodes!

The film "Heartbreak 33 Days" didn't catch fire online.

But on the friend circle.

Lately, these past two days have been blowing up!

You should know.

The promotional push is no weaker than online.

In the friend circle, those are all messages posted by your friends.

And recommendations from friends are somehow more reliable than those from netizens, right?

So then.

The movie shot up like a rocket, its box office soaring.

Day one was a modest 2.4 million, but day two nearly tripled to 6.8 million—what a surge!

By the third day...

Early that morning, Lin Mo received a call from Teng Hua Tao.

The excitement in his voice could be felt even over the phone.

"Lin Mo, our film has exploded, completely exploded!"

Lin Mo was a bit stunned.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Exploded?

"What was yesterday's box office?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"27 million! You heard right, 27 million!" Teng Dao's voice was full of excitement.

Hearing that figure.

Was indeed a bit surprising.

27 million!

You should know.

The film's opening day box office was only a little over 2 million.

And this is only the third day, it jumped straight to 27 million!

It really exploded!

On the phone, Lin Mo and Teng Dao chatted a few more idle words.

Relatively less excited than Teng Hua Tao.

Lin Mo was comparatively more calm.

After all, he knew the film would become a hit!

But still.

He couldn't help feeling happy.

Making money—who wouldn't be happy!

Meanwhile.

On Weibo.

The name of the "Heartbreak 33 Days" movie topped the trending list.

Many netizens were baffled when they saw the movie's title.

"Heartbreak 33 Days?"

"What kind of movie is this?"

"Never heard of it."

But still.

Netizens aren't stupid; this sudden trending must mean something.

It can't be simple.

"??? I woke up from a nap, and I can't quite make sense of Weibo!"

"What is this suddenly appearing 'Heartbreak 33 Days' movie?"

"I've seen this film pop up in my friend circle a few times, but I haven't watched it!"

"Wait, is this director real? Teng Hua Tao?"

"Huh? What's up with Teng Hua Tao?"

"Let me give you a quick intro: Teng Hua Tao directed the wildly popular series 'Snail House', but after that every drama of his flopped and was heavily criticized..."

"Could it be bots..."

"Probably not. My friend saw it and messaged me yesterday, strongly recommending I watch it!"

"This movie has something—its opening day was over 2 million, and yesterday it suddenly jumped to 27 million?"

"Heartbreak 33 Days" suddenly appeared on Weibo's trending list.

It instantly sparked a frenzy of discussion among netizens.

After all.

People are naturally curious.

A film that earned just over 2 million on opening day suddenly surged to 27 million!

That's a full tenfold increase!

Look at the ratings!

It seems like...

It's indeed a pretty good movie...

But why have they never heard of it?

Just like that, more and more netizens, full of curiosity, bought tickets and went to the cinema, just to see how amazing this movie really is.

Just like that.

The box office of "Lost in Love 33 Days" kept soaring.

Online discussions are also growing more and more.

As of now.

The movie has been released for one week.

The box office has already accumulated to 80 million!

It directly shocked the entire internet!

Especially in the Entertainment Circle.

"Lost in Love 33 Days" became the subject of hot discussion.

Teng Hua Tao directed it, with a total investment of 5 million!

The box office broke 80 million in just one week!

This, no matter what, is enough to astonish everyone!

Ding-dong!

The phone vibrated; Re Ba picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from Bai Lu.

"Re Ba, have you heard? That movie 'Lost in Love 33 Days' was invested with just five million, and it's blown up! After just one week of release, the box office has shot up to eighty million!" Bai Lu's message also came with a little Xiao Yueyue emoji sticker, eyes wide round, with the caption "My goodness!"

Re Ba laughed and replied: 'I saw it at the premiere; it's really good. You haven't gone? I highly recommend it!'

This girl, even while chatting, doesn't forget to promote the movie.

Just a few seconds later, Bai Lu's message popped up again: 'I seem to recall that I indeed saw your Moments that night; honestly, tell me, who did you go see the movie with? Was it your good friend Lin Mo?'

Re Ba looked at the screen and smiled, not rushing to type, she turned her head to look at Lin Mo opposite her.

'Mo Ge, your movie is now incredibly hot; my Moments are about to be swamped, and everyone says people in the circle are hotly discussing it!' Re Ba said with a smile.

Lin Mo gave a light smile, a hint of pride: 'When I first saw this script, I knew it would definitely be a hit; looks like my judgment is still good!'

Re Ba looked at Lin Mo, little stars of admiration flashing in her eyes: 'That's for sure, Mo Ge, you're the best in my heart!'

'By the way, Mo Ge, do you have time tonight?' Re Ba suddenly changed the subject, asking with a smile.

'What's up?' Lin Mo asked curiously.

'Well, Mi Jie wants to treat you to a meal, you remember? I previously borrowed 2 million from her for emergencies, so now I need to find a chance to thank her.' Re Ba said, her face flushing a bit, obviously a little embarrassed.

Lin Mo understood right away and smiled in agreement: 'Sure, I definitely have time!'

Yang Mi also only found out yesterday.

The movie 'Lost in Love 33 Days' is the one Lin Mo invested in, according to Re Ba.

Back then, she was so shocked she couldn't even begin to describe it.

This movie has recently been blowing up in the circle.

The investment was only 5 million!

In just one week, the box office broke 80 million!

Now everyone is guessing how high the final box office of this movie will go.

300 million? 400 million? Or 500 million...

In short.

This is absolutely the biggest dark horse of this year, and even of the past few years!

So, she is now extremely curious about Lin Mo.

Fortunately, only Yang Mi knows Lin Mo's identity as an investor.

If it were to get out...

I guess...

Lin Mo's life is about to be disrupted.

Those reporters will surely run to the school.

Just think, how explosive this topic will be.

The biggest behind-the-scenes investor of 'Lost in Love 33 Days' is actually a third-year film school student.

Tsk tsk...

I bet by then UC's Shocking Department will be full of his news.
