Chapter 291

After *No One Survived* reached a daily box office of 13.2 million, it had completely made a name for itself in the industry.

This film had such high heat on the internet that now no one would doubt whether it could continue on the third day.

It was just that the netizens on the internet were stubborn and didn't want to overturn their previous views, but in reality, everyone had a scale in their hearts.

Breaking the 10 million level for two consecutive days, and that was only with three daytime screenings... This was no longer just a potential hit.

Instead, this was a hit!

Deng Zexu excitedly shared the box office results with everyone in the group, and also asked everyone if they needed to release a celebration poster for breaking 30 million total box office now.

【It was just a niche, cold film before, so it needed to be high-profile. After all, it's amazing for a niche film to achieve any results. Now it's a potential hit, why don't we be a bit more low-key and not always release celebration posters at every turn?】

An actor suggested.

Director Deng: 【Alright, then when is it appropriate to release the poster, when the box office breaks 50 million or breaks 100 million?】

Everyone couldn't help but send "..." over.

They thought 50 million was quite appropriate, not expecting Director Deng to suddenly raise the standard to 100 million.

Was their thinking unable to keep up, or was Director Deng thinking too beautifully?

Jin Li rarely said a word in the group.

Jin Li: 【I asked my manager, and she said 50 million isn't appropriate either. Let's release the celebration poster when the box office breaks 100 million, it'll have a bit more of a hit style.】

Even Jin Li said so, and the other actors finally had the feeling that "this film has really become a hit."

【For the first time, I have the feeling that our film has really become a hit.】

【It's unbelievable. It's only been online for two days in the daytime slots, how come *No One Survived* has soared into the sky?】

【These results are changing too fast. By the way, that film magazine that has been predicting our box office just released a video, predicting that our box office tomorrow will reach 15 million!】

Director Deng sent a voice message with extreme satisfaction.

"Is it *Film & Television Home* magazine? This magazine really has a good eye. When shall we go on this magazine again to give it traffic and heat!"

He was not only happy in his heart, but his actions also showed it.

Deng Zexu specifically logged into a small account, forwarded *Film & Television Home*'s box office prediction, and debated with internet trolls.

【Do you know what strength is? This is called strength. It's only been online for two days in the daytime slots, three screenings, and it can reach a 10 million level box office every day, beating hit films!】

【So how much water is there in the current film industry? Those directors who can really shoot good films are buried, and there is no excellent platform that can appreciate them.】

【If it weren't for *No One Survived* starting from the late-night party and art film lines, I don't know how it would have been buried!】

【The success of *No One Survived*'s box office is a counterattack against capital, giving capital a hard slap!!】

Deng Zexu was excitedly leaving comments while feeling a bit dizzy.

Ah, maybe it was because he was too happy and drank a bit too much, feeling like the world was being stepped under his feet.

After he finished posting, he threw his phone away and lay on the bed to sleep.

He didn't know that his few comments had actually become popular comments, and many netizens were discussing underneath.

【Agree, how much longer do we have to endure the ugly children pushed by capital? It used to be that you had to be good-looking to be a star, now it's as long as you have money, you can be a star!】

【Cinemas need reform. What's played back and forth are all the works of those directors. Can't they produce some new, cutting-edge works?】

【Brother, I admit *No One Survived* is excellent, but no matter how excellent it is, without the pushing force of Daye Cinema, can it reach this level?】

【You say the platform hasn't given any films a chance? In fact, there is a pile of internet garbage. The platform has already helped us screen and eliminate a large batch of garbage. *No One Survived* is just a pearl in the ocean.】

【Do you believe it? With the quality of *No One Survived*, regardless of whether it was put on the big screen... even if it was put on a web drama, it would still be a hit!】

【Changing concepts, why should a work that can be a hit in a cinema only be a hit on a web drama?】

【This quality of work, if it can't be launched on a film screen, is definitely the platform's problem!】

Time flew by, and soon it was noon on the fourth day.

Jin Li arrived at Dawn Entertainment to accompany the somewhat nervous Sui Sui Lingfang to refresh the "Yingchacha" box office data.

She didn't know what was wrong with Yingchacha today, whether there were too many visitors, or if the server was undergoing data migration and upgrades...

Clearly the network status was good, but the refresh speed was very slow, and it would take a long time to update the data.

As soon as it hit twelve o'clock, Sui Sui Lingfang immediately refreshed Yingchacha.

After waiting for two minutes, the data hadn't changed; it was still yesterday's data, and today's data hadn't been updated yet.

Sui Sui Lingfang suppressed her temper and continued to refresh.

Another two minutes passed, and the result still hadn't changed.

When it hit twelve-oh-five, Sui Sui Lingfang threw the mouse down in a somewhat broken-jar-broken-fall manner, no longer staring at the computer and refreshing constantly.

She picked up a tissue, wiped the sweat on her forehead, turned to look at Jin Li who was quietly brushing questions on the side, and said with some emotion:

"My cultivation of qi is ultimately not as good as yours. Clearly this is your film, but I am more concerned about the box office results than you."

Jin Li also accompanied Manager Fang to wait at the beginning.

Seeing that the page couldn't be refreshed for a long time, she simply picked up a pen and did a few chemistry questions. She had been frantically supplementing her second-year chemistry recently.

She didn't enter the focused state of "half the effort for twice the result," because she knew Manager Fang still had things to tell her.

So Jin Li was just doing them casually.

But even so, in a casual state, her accuracy in doing questions was very high.

Jin Li raised her eyes to look at her and smiled lightly, her eyes as bright as stars.

"Manager Fang, this film has Dawn Entertainment's investment. I'm calm because I've already finished acting. I can't return to the past and cover up the parts I didn't act well."

"But you are nervous because the subsequent results of this film affect the company's dividends. It's normal to be nervous."

Her voice carried gentleness and comfort.

Sui Sui Lingfang thought: Is this the lethality of a sweet girl?

Although she was a woman, she also felt a bit killed!

Sui Sui Lingfang said: "The third day's box office is very important, concerning whether we can get more screenings in Daye Cinema. However, I shouldn't be the most anxious one; Director Deng is the most anxious."

Jin Li thought of something and said: "I heard that the discussion about *No One Survived* on the internet is very high, and some netizens even set the fire to the cinema?"

Mentioning this, Sui Sui Lingfang said unhappily: "Yes, on the surface they are praising *No One Survived*, but in reality, they are creating contradictions. I don't know which rival hired these trolls, they are so good at talking!"

She didn't care whether the cinema had eyes to recognize pearls or mixed fish with pearls, anyway, *No One Survived* just had to be a hit for her.

As for other films, she was too lazy to care so much, and couldn't manage them anyway.

Film development to this day, various moats are already very deep.

No connections, no relationships, no concessions, and wanting to get screenings during the cinema's hit time slots is as hard as ascending to heaven!

Even with the quality of *No One Survived*, if it weren't for Deng Zexu's father's fame to guarantee and introduce it, it would never have been possible to land on the big screen during the summer season.

Netizens wanting to use this film to criticize the cinema's various inactions is impossible.

How can ordinary people defeat capital?

Sui Sui Lingfang now just wanted *No One Survived* to be well, not to be used by people with ulterior motives, so as not to have good word-of-mouth among the masses but bad word-of-mouth in the cinema!

You have to know that Deng Zexu signing the film's late-night and daytime slots as two separate contracts had already angered other cinemas.

Now that there was any movement in the industry, they had to be vigilant so as not to be blacklisted by the entire industry.

Sui Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and said: "The data here can't be refreshed, so we won't refresh it. Wait for Director Deng to call us. Once the results are out, he will definitely report the good news to us."

"When the time comes, I'll tell him to let all the film crew members be cautious in their words and actions, and not to express opinions unrelated to the film."

"Especially involving film screenings, capital, and the like, don't say a word, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives."

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Just as they were talking about Director Deng, Manager Fang's phone rang; it was a call from Director Deng.

Jin Li's phone was also vibrating constantly, and someone in the group was sending her messages.

Clicking in, March Sky and her teammates had all received the news, congratulating her on breaking 15 million in daily box office!

Jin Li: 【???】

Jin Li: 【Did it really break 15 million? I thought it was just said for fun. This is only three screenings, can the box office reach this high?!】

Lotus: 【This data was told to me by my manager. Guang Ge told me to ask you about acting when I have time.】

"My performance in *The Great Sheng Dynasty* is quite good, and he has received some scripts inviting me one after another."

"I took a few looks, those roles are very challenging, he is afraid I can't hold them, and I'm also a bit scared, I've already signed up for an acting cram school recently!】"

NANA: 【Actually, this box office result is not high. Yingchacha is statistics for the whole day. This 15 million includes not only Daye Cinema's daytime box office, but also the late-night box office of major cinemas.】

Meng Meng: 【It seems that there are still many people who want to see Director Deng's "die a death"!】

March Sky also congratulated her in the group.

She was the only idol who had achieved good box office results among those who had transitioned from idols to actors in the past two years.

Gu Cheng: 【In two days, *Slow Life* will be online on the weekend. Your experience of self-exposure in the variety show will probably attract another wave of netizens to watch the film.】

Chen Lin: 【Sister Jin Li, the box office results are so good, treat us to a meal!】

Yan Yan Xingdong: 【Congratulations, congratulations, 100 million box office is not a dream, it just depends on how many hundreds of millions it can reach!】

Luo Yi: 【The bigger the dream, the bigger the stage, attack towards the highest goal!】

"This year's summer season box office competition is average, it's been online for half a month, the one with the highest box office only reached 600 million, and the momentum is insufficient. I think *No One Survived* has a good chance to counterattack!】"

Jin Li: 【Ashamed, you guys really think too highly of me!】

Now *No One Survived*'s total box office hadn't even broken 100 million, but in their words, it was as if it had already reached 1 billion...

The bigger the dream, the bigger the stage, she didn't see it.

The bigger the blowing water, the bigger the fantasy, she saw it instead.

Jin Li replied to everyone's congratulations one by one. Just as she put down her phone, Manager Fang also hung up the phone and said excitedly:

"Director Deng told me that Daye Cinema decided to increase screenings for *No One Survived*, all treated as a hit film! Jin Li, this film might be able to explode again!"

Everyone was very excited, but Jin Li appeared very calm.

"We shouldn't have too much expectation. It's already very good to be able to recover the cost and get good word-of-mouth this time. After all, it's not a commercial film."

Sui Sui Lingfang took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and patted it on her forehead.

Her brain was overheating, she needed to calm down.

"You're right, let's not discuss this first. Director Deng said he wanted to hold a celebration banquet. When do you think it's best to hold it?"

Jin Li felt that everyone's emotions were too hot, and it was easy to cause trouble, such as floating and then saying the wrong thing.

She said: "Let's talk about the celebration banquet later. Let's consider it when the film is about to be taken off the shelves. Everyone should be low-key recently. If it really doesn't work, find something to do."

Sui Sui Lingfang pondered for a while and said: "Happy emotions still need to be vented. It's rare to be happy, and you can't always let people hold it in."

"How about this, the foreign magazine *Film Story* wanted to interview us before. Out of consideration for your health, the company asked them to come to China to shoot."

"Recently, *Film Story* has been communicating with us about the shooting time and plan, wanting to shoot as soon as possible. Plans can't keep up with changes. How about all the film crew members fly abroad to shoot, and take a trip by the way?"

She quickly added: "Everything depends on your health. If your health doesn't work, then we'll talk about it."

Jin Li nodded without thinking: "Okay, I can go abroad."

It's just a matter of worshipping a few more times, simple.

Sui Sui Lingfang: "OK, I will communicate with *Film Story* and Director Deng now."

As for Jin Li.

She was also quite excited that the film she shot could achieve such good results.

However, she had her own way of venting her emotions, which was brushing questions.

There is nothing that can't be calmed down by doing questions. If one set isn't enough, then do another!

Consequently, Jin Li's live stream fans discovered that they had only lived a peaceful life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset for two days, and discovered that their main star—

Jin Li.

Was possessed by the test paper king again!!

【I TM... Emma, how come I brushed into Li's live room at this point? Tell me, how many hours has she been brushing questions?】

【6, 6, 6... hours】

【Visually, she will have to continue brushing until ten o'clock in the evening to sleep.】

【Is she still human?】

【Big courage! She is the test paper king, how can you compare mere carbon-based organisms with the test paper king!】

When Jin Li was frantically doing questions, those who couldn't stand *No One Survived* doing well in the dark also couldn't sit still.

The daily box office results hit new highs every day, and Daye Cinema also high-profile issued a notice saying it would increase screenings. This film was really aiming to slaughter the hits!

Must take action!

Since the haters and trolls on the internet couldn't blacken it, then start from other aspects.

Suddenly, dozens of media outlets contacted the film crew members, wanting to interview *No One Survived*, and there were also various large and small film promotional activities inviting them.

These activities also had some small thoughts.

The organizers didn't invite big actors, but specifically invited small actors and staff members who were clearly on the edge of the film crew.

The thoughts were obvious!

However, it was very unfortunate that all film crew members could not be invited, and they replied uniformly:

"I'm abroad, just got off the plane."
