Chapter 563

Waking up, Nazha's figure was no longer beside him.

Wei Jin knew that the little girl had already rushed back to the *Love O2O* crew.

As a popular little flower, Nazha has been very busy recently, having to record *Keep Running*, film TV series, and there are many magazine and advertising endorsements in between.

Even for the graduation ceremony, she asked for leave to come back.

This is also the reason why Nazha entangled with him to death from the office to the Golden House last night.

Ordering Old Zhu to drive to Yanjiao Villa, Wei Jin sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest.

During this period, he was busy filming and had little time to accompany Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan, and even less time for the pair of children.

Taking advantage of the weekend, he asked Gao Yuanyuan to bring the children to Zeng Li's place, intending to make up for it well.

Arriving at the place, he saw two beauties sitting in the garden sunbathing, while Dudu was circling the stroller, occasionally teasing her younger brother with her little hands.

"Dudu, don't wake your brother up."

Hearing Wei Jin's voice, Dudu's face showed surprise. She hadn't seen her father for several days, so she opened her arms and ran over.

"Father..."

Wei Jin squatted down, held his daughter in his arms, and spun around.

"Eh, Dudu, did you miss Father?"

"Mm, I did..."

Dudu nodded without hesitation, but soon broke free from Wei Jin and pulled him towards the stroller. "Father, I didn't wake Brother up, he is not sleeping right now, come and see..."

Wei Jin looked up and saw his son lying in the stroller with his limbs facing the sky, playing with his little feet, very energetically.

After teasing the little guy with Dudu for a while, Wei Jin walked to the two beauties, pursed his lips to signal, and the two instantly made room.

After sitting down, Wei Jin hugged the beauties' slender waists on the left and right, and asked: "What were you talking about just now?"

"What else can we talk about? Talking about where you went wild last night..."

Gao Yuanyuan's tone was a bit resentful; clearly the movie had wrapped, but he didn't know how to go home.

"Cough cough, Sister Yuanyuan, the children are still here."

Wei Jin's old face flushed, while Zeng Li mediated from the side: "It's Xu'er, he was a bit restless at night, Yuanyuan asked me what to do..."

"Mm? What's going on? Is he sick?"

"That's not it, it's just that day and night are a bit reversed. Children will be like this, Dudu was about the same when she was young..."

Listening to Zeng Li's explanation, Wei Jin felt a little relieved; after all, Dudu was brought up by Sister Li, so she definitely had experience in this regard.

"Mother, are you calling me?"

"No, you and Brother play well, haha..."

Looking at Dudu's naive appearance, Wei Jin, Zeng Li, and Gao Yuanyuan looked at each other and laughed.

In the morning sunshine, a harmonious and happy picture was constructed. While Wei Jin was enjoying family time, the outside world was already arguing because of the first-day box office of *Tiny Times*.

"The youth-themed film *Tiny Times*, written and directed by Guo Jingming and starring Yang Mi, the head of the Four Young Dan, closed at 72.6 million on its first day..."

"*Tiny Times* first-day results refreshed the record for similar themes, and the box office is expected to hit the 1 billion mark!"

"..."

The entire film production industry was stunned by this number.

You know, also as a youth theme, even with Zhao Yanzi's drawing power and the support of Faye Wong and others, the first-day box office of *So Young* was less than 50 million.

Even if the May Day slot couldn't compare to the summer slot, the gap of more than 20 million was really too big.

More importantly, Guo Jingming, such a newcomer who just started, and also came across the border, could actually get such a box office? Isn't this funny? How can other directors from professional schools feel?

However, although the data is gorgeous, I am afraid that not many people in the circle envy it.

Because the film had only been released for one day, it faced shelling from countless film critics.

"Most rotten films are chocolate with sh*t flavor. Although the taste is like sh*t, the essence is still chocolate;"

"*Tiny Times* is sh*t with chocolate flavor. Although it is packaged like a piece of chocolate, the essence is a lump of pure sh*t."

"The super rotten film box office record created by *Switch* was broken by *Tiny Times* in less than a month."

"The rottenness of *Tiny Times* has completely surpassed all previous rotten films. Its showing off wealth and stacking have reached a morbid state!"

"Using a movie to describe *Tiny Times* is an insult to the seventh art! It's just spiritual opium with a youth label!"

"..."

Not only film critics, but the internet is also full of low-score evaluations from a large number of netizens, and even Wang from Wanda couldn't help but publicly spray on Weibo.

"Fans of *Tiny Times*, please actively unfollow."

Although the words were not many, the damage was very strong, and it seemed to have pressed the switch to bombard Guo Jingming.

Immediately after, a large number of film critics, including Gao Shu Qun, Jia Kezhang, and other producers, directors, screenwriters, media, etc., in the circle, began to fire on Weibo one after another, calling on the audience and moviegoers to boycott *Tiny Times*.

Countless people in the entertainment industry were enjoying this battle.

You know, there has never been a film that has been publicly refuted and belittled by more than half of the film circle; *Tiny Times* did it! There has never been a director who has been publicly besieged by a large number of filmmakers and film critics. Even Lu Chuan back then had a few fox friends to wave flags and shout; Guo Jingming did it! However, the collective fire in the industry also angered the fans of *Tiny Times*.

At this moment, a large number of *Tiny Times* fans were spraying on Weibo with film critics, the Screenwriters Association, the Directors Association, and other units.

In their mouths, the first-day result of 72.6 million is enough to prove that *Tiny Times* is a rare good movie.

The people who are firing now are nothing more than a group of jealous monsters, dead bones in the tomb... And Guo Jingming, who is at the center of the storm, posted several Weibo posts from morning to night, criticizing the film circle's persecution of him and expressing his heartache for his fans.

"I don't know whose cheese I moved, so that the whole industry is targeting me. But I want to say, if you have anything, come at me, don't scold my fans and the movie. They are just simply supporting the works they like, what's wrong with that?"

"Don't always talk about the three views, it looks very ridiculous. *Tiny Times* itself is filmed for young groups to watch. The box office results prove that young people like to watch it, which means I filmed it right."

"I can clearly tell everyone who targets me that all malicious slander and abuse cannot defeat *Tiny Times* and me. The second part has already confirmed the release date, which is on the Qi Xi Festival! Later, I will continue to film the third, fourth, and even more works. I will firmly move forward on the path of director and will never bow my head!"

Wei Jin ignored the disturbances on the internet. At this moment, he was paying "public grain."

At the same time, Wei Jin didn't neglect Sister Li.

Wei Jin has to admit that although she is already 36 years old, Zeng Li's figure is not inferior to a young girl, and the skin on her body is also tight and tender, as white as snow, which is really against the sky.

It's just that Wei Jin didn't expect it.

In fact, this is Sister Li's little "revenge." She wants to see how long her good girlfriend with a hard mouth can persist.

"Sister Li, I will 'take care' of you well later, hmph..."

After the clouds and rain, Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan leaned in Wei Jin's arms on the left and right, chatting with each other.

At this time, Wei Jin suddenly remembered one thing.

"By the way, Sister Li, Sister Yuanyuan, *Wolf Warrior* starts filming the day after tomorrow. This time it is filmed in the National Forest Park in Jinling. Shall we go and play for two days?"

Wu Jing's side is strictly following the filming plan. Although the place is a bit far, it is an investment of 80 million after all. Wei Jin, as the producer, is still willing to go and support.

As for inviting the two beauties to go together, Wei Jin has some compensation psychology.

As everyone knows, bringing children is very tiring. Even with the care of nannies and mothers-in-law, the two beauties have very little private time. Wei Jin hopes they can be happier.

"Okay, okay..."

Facing Wei Jin's proposal, Gao Yuanyuan agreed immediately, but Zeng Li shook her head.

"Xiao Jin, you and Yuanyuan go, I won't go, and I can help take care of the children by the way."

"Mm... alright then, this time just Yuanyuan and I will go. But during the National Day, let's take the children to the island together. It's already agreed."

Wei Jin thought about it and didn't force it, just turned his head to look at Gao Yuanyuan, with a playful look on his face.

"Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Li is helping to take care of the children at home, don't you plan to express your gratitude?"

Guo Jingming's "passionate" speech and the miserable situation of being "suppressed" by the whole industry undoubtedly aroused the anger of *Tiny Times* fans.

These people are completely unreasonable, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, waving banknotes and rushing into the cinema to support the box office.

As if this could prove that *Tiny Times* is a good movie.

So for three consecutive days, *Tiny Times* maintained a daily box office of over 70 million.

After the first weekend of three days, *Tiny Times* closed at 218 million, which can be called a miracle.

In the entire Chinese film circle, except for Wei Jin, it seems that no director can do this.

But by this point, the word-of-mouth of the film on the whole internet had rotted, the overwhelming abuse, and the rating on Yinxiang Net dropped directly to 5.1, leaving only fans still supporting it.

If Guo Jingming still had a group of die-hard fans to complain for him, then those few actors were really scolded to autism.

Now it is completely silent, and they don't even dare to speak on the internet.

Especially the first female lead Yang Mi, she even closed the comments on Weibo, because she had been scolded too miserably these days.

And among them, there were a large number of "Bees" raised by herself, which was really a bit broken.

"Was it really wrong to take this film at the beginning?"

Yang Mi regretted it. She remembered very clearly that Wei Jin had explicitly opposed this film at the beginning, the reason being that it would seriously affect her reputation.

It was her and Zeng Jia who insisted on their own way, thinking that the original work had many fans, so the box office must be guaranteed, and even went against that man for this, to the point of almost being forgotten.

Now it seems that the man's judgment is still correct.

"Mimi, don't think so much, isn't the box office quite good? And think about it, you are the first female lead, and there are two whole film contracts behind, which is something many actresses envy."

"But the fans scolded very fiercely..."

"Mimi, you have to understand, as long as it is a movie, there is no way there is no bad review. Which actor who became capital has not been scolded?"

Zeng Jia didn't think the decision at the beginning was wrong, and was still persuading her.

"Think about it, the topicality, status, press releases, and the number of fans during this period, are they all rising?"

Seeing Yang Mi nod instinctively, Zeng Jia smiled. "That's right, these are the most important things for us. Now you should put your mind on *Swords of Legends*, we are about to enter the crew immediately..."

"Okay, I know."
