Chapter 67

July.

Legend of the Gods and Jue Ji were released one after another.

The former's opening day box office was over 80 million; after all, the cast of this film can be said to be all big names.

The latter's opening day box office was 65 million!

These two films.

Before release, the promotion was extremely hot.

It attracted countless netizens' anticipation.

It can be said.

Initially, netizens were so looking forward to it.

After release, how harsh the criticism was!

They were directly scolded onto the hot search list.

"I'm fucked, after watching Legend of the Gods in the cinema, I felt sick!"

"What the hell kind of crappy film, I'm really speechless!"

"With so many big-name stars, the film turned out as shitty as feces!"

"Cao, watching it makes me want to curse!"

"Guo Xiao Si, get out of the film industry!"

"Actually the effects are pretty good, it's just the plot…"

"......"

Well.

Some movie fans are still hesitating.

Whether or not to go to the cinema to see it.

As a result.

When the ratings of the two films came out.

Goodness!

Directly shocking the eyeballs!

Legend of the Gods rating 3.6.

Jue Ji rating 3.0.

This simply refreshed netizens' cognition.

Especially Jue Ji, which is even called the worst domestic film in history.

Lin Mo naturally also paid attention.

What he wants to say is.

Something even worse hasn't appeared yet.

Having these two films as a comparison.

Netizens instead became even more anticipating The Richest Man in Xihong City.

After all, Lin Mo's previous film Charlotte's Trouble, they still have fresh memories of it.

This isn't.

In the group chat of The Richest Man in Xihong City.

Everyone was chatting happily.

"Looking at it now, the summer blockbuster season, our film is a sure thing!" Zhang Yiming.

"Isn't there still Cold War 2 behind us?" Wei Xiang.

"I am now full of confidence in our film!" Shen Teng.

"Me too, me too!" Tian Xiwei.

"It must be, our film's box office is at least 1.5 billion as a baseline!" Chang Yuan.

"I think it's 2 billion!"

"It's more than 2.5 billion!"

"......"

Seeing the group chat, everyone's boasting got more and more outrageous.

Lin Mo hurriedly appeared: "Enough, enough, enough, hurry up and stop, if we keep going like this, the film will break ten billion!"

Here.

He was accompanying Re Ba on a shopping trip.

Her film wrapped several days ago.

It's been a long time since we went shopping; she pulled Lin Mo to the mall to look here and there.

Seeing everything novel, she wanted to buy it all.

"Oh dear, Mo Ge, this is so cute!" Re Ba held a little trinket, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Mo smiled and said: "If you like it, buy it; we're not short on money!"

He is now truly a tycoon.

Toward Re Ba, it's utter indulgence; whatever she wants to buy, we must get it!

Soon, Re Ba's hands were piled high with various spoils, almost too much to carry.

"Enough, enough, Mo Ge, if we keep shopping I'll become a shopping cart!" Re Ba joked with a laugh.

Looking at Lin Mo again, he wasn't to be outdone, his body laden with various shopping bags, basically a walking Christmas tree.

"I can still hold something in my mouth!" Lin Mo deliberately teased Re Ba to make her happy, teasing her until she burst out laughing with a puchi sound.

After they shoved all the things they bought into the car at once, they held hands and went to find a restaurant with a decent environment, preparing to properly enjoy this candlelit dinner.

Re Ba rested her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, and suddenly asked Lin Mo: "Mo Ge, do you really think Legend of the Gods and Noble Trace are as bad as everyone says?"

She blinked, then suggested: "How about after we finish eating, we go check it out?"

Lin Mo was drinking water when he heard that; he almost spat it out, coughed twice, then said: "No, when did you develop such a weird taste?"

Re Ba laughed until her eyes curved like crescent moons: "It's not like your movie is about to be released, right? I just want to watch these two so-called 'legendary' films to see how hard they are to stomach, so they can serve as a contrast for your movie!"

Upon hearing that, Lin Mo laughed and cried: "Better not, I'm afraid I'll ruin my eyes by then!"

Actually.

In his previous life, he had actually watched Legend of the Gods.

However, he didn't watch it in a theater, but online.

At the time, that movie was slammed so badly, he genuinely got curious and wanted to see just how awful a star-studded film could become.

As a result, he watched just a few minutes before closing the webpage directly.

I guess.

Re Ba probably felt the same way as he did back then.

In the end, Lin Mo couldn't resist Re Ba's insistence; he thought to himself, let's just satisfy her curiosity.

So, after their meal, the two went to the cinema.

At first, Re Ba barely managed to keep an expectant expression.

But not long after, the exaggerated special effects, chaotic plot, and incomprehensible dialogue simply turned Re Ba's expression from curious to astonished, then finally to helplessness and pain.

This process lasted only a few minutes before Re Ba couldn't take it anymore; she quietly tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve and whispered: "Mo Ge, let's leave, this movie is too... too hard to accept."

Lin Mo had already expected this; he deliberately teased Re Ba: "How's that? I told you not to come, but you wouldn't listen—now you regret it, huh?"

Re Ba frowned and nodded: "Yeah, I thought even a terrible movie would have a bottom line, but... oh well, let's go."

"So how do you feel now?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

Re Ba thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Um... I just want to go home and sleep now; I feel completely exhausted."

Lin Mo burst out laughing.

After leaving the cinema, Re Ba kept complaining about the movie's various flaws all the way, while Lin Mo stood beside her, laughing as he listened to her vent.

However, Mo Ge, this is actually good for you—this way, the summer blockbuster season film The Richest Man in Xihong City will definitely not have low box office! Re Ba said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"So what do you think my film's box office will reach?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

Re Ba thought for a moment, then said seriously: "I think it will definitely be higher than Charlotte's Trouble!"

She had visited the set before, and even stayed there for over a week.

At the time, on the set, she was already having a blast.

"Then I'll take your words as a blessing—hope so!"

"Mo Ge, your movie will definitely be a box office smash!"
