Chapter 503

*Angel Has Fallen to My Side* surpassed *Homecoming* at the box office.

On the fourth day, it surpassed *Brother, Hello*.

And another film that wasn't favored at the start, *Lighting Up the Stars* starring the little girl Yang Enyou, also completed a box office reversal against these two shows.

Holy crap, although the tides turn, this turn is way too fast, isn't it?

In just half a week, the rankings saw a major reversal?

Emmm... how should I put it?

It was peers serving as foils again.

First, there's the film *Brother, Hello*.

From the very beginning, a thick sense of *Hi, Mom* came rushing at the audience.

Viewers frowned immediately.

Why does it feel like I've already seen this movie?

Then, as they continued watching, the viewers' faces grew darker and darker.

It felt like Mahua FunAge's reputation had been ruined by this show.

Isn't this just a clumsy imitation of *Hi, Mom*?

It's just simply changing the daughter played by Jia Ling to a son played by Chang Yuan.

The key is that you didn't even copy it well.

Jia Ling's portrayal of Jia Xiaoling could be called "rough but detailed," while Chang Yuan's portrayal of Xiao Wu was purely idiotic.

The gap is comparable to Wang Baoqiang and Bao Bei'er.

As for *Homecoming*, it committed the common mistake of many domestic suspense screenwriters—

Suspense everywhere, but not a single thread resolved.

If *Brother, Hello* gave the audience a feeling of pure trash.

Then *Homecoming* was, "What the hell are you trying to express?"

Exactly, it's that feeling where you watch the whole thing for two hours, walk out of the theater, and the audience doesn't even know what they just watched.

Under these circumstances, *Angel Has Fallen to My Side* and *Lighting Up the Stars* began to overtake them.

The only thing that was slightly worrying was that many viewers began to suspect Xu Feng's fetishes...

[Prison food has fallen to my side. I finally understand why Xu Feng didn't act in this film himself. If the female lead played by Zhang Zifeng were changed to a male, this plot would never pass censorship in this lifetime.]

[This is a movie that skirts the edge; it should be taken down immediately.]

[Damn, Lu Xun was right. Some people see others showing their arms and immediately think of nudity. We just think the little girl is cute, and you think of sex. I think you're the one who needs to go through nine years of compulsory education again.]

[Compared to the melodramatic emotional scenes in *Brother, Hello*, Xu Feng really depicted the innocent friendship of little girls. It's said his next work is also a show about dreams. Looking forward to it.]

……

……

However, just when many people thought Xu Feng would once again leave everyone in the dust this summer season.

After more than half a month passed, the box office growth of *Angel Has Fallen to My Side* slowed down.

*Lighting Up the Stars* achieved a reversal.

There's no helping it; this kind of daily "cute-selling" film is niche by nature.

It's like writing on a certain web novel site; the popularity of anime fanfiction is naturally lower than *Sihe Academy* or *The Knockout*.

And it can't even be compared to urban fantasy.

Xu Feng couldn't do anything about that.

Currently, the most popular request is *Jackie Chan Adventures*. Wow, it looks like I have to catch up on the series. By the way, Jackie Chan is over sixty in this book, he can't fight anymore, right...

“Long time no see~”

“Long time no see. This should be the movie with your lowest box office in recent years, right?”

“Uh... I suppose so.”

“Tsk tsk... Even the lowest is over two billion. I’ve filmed movies for over a decade, and the total doesn't even add up to your lowest one.”

Watching Liu Shishi, who had asked him out for a meal, Xu Feng rested his chin on one hand, his expression somewhat strange.

Why does it feel a bit snide?

Just after the roadshow, Xu Feng had spotted her—the sister who, in the original timeline, would have long since become Mrs. Wu by this period—sitting in the audience.

It had given Xu Feng another fright.

This kind of thing happened during the last roadshow for *Mulan*, didn't it?

Back then, Liu Yifei was sitting in the audience, which had also given Xu Feng a fright.

Fortunately, Li Yitong had drawn all the attention away; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

……

“Did you ask me out just to congratulate me?”

Xu Feng rubbed his chin and asked straight to the point.

At his current level, he hardly had the heart to play games or beat around the bush with girls anymore.

Just like Wang Xiaocong picking up girls, it was all about being simple and crude.

Except Wang Xiaocong used money.

Xu Feng relied on his own influence in the entertainment industry, or rather, he threw resources at them.

“My parents are pressuring me to get married. What do you think I should do?”

Liu Shishi stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon and also went straight to the point, directly asking the question that gave Xu Feng the biggest headache.

If Liu Shishi were asking for resources, Xu Feng wouldn't be so distressed.

Anyway, he had three sports dramas prepared under his belt; there was enough to go around.

But involving the topic of “marriage” was a different matter entirely.

“Uh... Shishi, you’re still young. A wonderful life is waiting for you to enjoy. Why step into the grave of marriage so early?”

Xu Feng said, biting the bullet.

“Unhuh~ Truly a scumbag remark as always. Recently, that Uncle Wu has been pursuing me. My mother is quite satisfied with him and says I should just agree to it.”

Liu Shishi hummed, her smile a bit cold.

Ah, this... Xu Feng really hadn't expected Uncle Wu, who had already reached the age of fifty this year, to be so persistent.

If one counts from the filming of *Scarlet Heart* until now.

He’s been chasing Liu Shishi for nearly ten years, right?

Still hasn't given up?

Impressive, truly impressive~

“It’s not good for you to say that; the readers won't be happy…~〃 …”

Xu Feng muttered a sentence that Liu Shishi only half-understood.

“I knew you were this kind of person. You clearly have so many women yourself, yet you don't allow your own woman to have a second man.”

Miss Shishi’s smile grew even colder.

Oh my, it feels like this girl is quite explosive today.

I’m afraid she’s venting all the resentment from her parents’ marriage pressure onto me.

But Xu Feng didn't say anything; after all, this was indeed his fault.

If he hadn't stuck his foot in earlier, Liu Shishi would have long since been promoted to “Mrs. Wu,” and the kid would probably be able to talk by now.

However, Xu Feng felt that Liu Shishi hadn't come to him to break up.

If a girl were truly determined to make a clean break with a man, she wouldn't even bother to see him.

A simple block on WeChat would have settled it all.

“I want a child.”

Then, Liu Shishi dropped another bombshell, nearly scaring Xu Feng into falling off his chair.

“Don't misunderstand. I’m not trying to tie you down with a child. I’m just looking at my prime fertility period and want to borrow the genes of a dog man like you.”

Hmm, although her expression was very tough, her gaze kept darting away.
