Chapter 650: You Still Say You Didn't Cry?

Having missed the two post-credits scenes, Chen Luo ran out of the Cinema as if fleeing a debt, arrived at the shopping mall's underground parking lot, and drove away from the mall.

Only after arriving home safely did he let out a long sigh of relief.

A Heavenly King and Superstar with high National Popularity is not the same as those D-list celebrities who can go out and play freely.

Reality is not a brainless historical drama; just wearing a mask or even growing a bit of a beard isn't enough to make your own mother fail to recognize you.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the cinema was already packed with people; if Chen Luo were recognized, it would definitely cause a huge scene.

After walking into the study at home, Chen Luo sat in a chair, took out his phone, and prepared to post on Weibo.

Honestly, as a top-tier Heavenly King, it had been a long time since he had experienced the need to curry favor with others just to solicit a song.

He only had such experiences when he had just debuted.

Who told him his first album sold like crazy?

However, "Nezha" is truly good!

He personally likes this movie extremely much.

This, at least, meant he wouldn't feel awkward about it in his heart.

"Speaking the truth, what's wrong with that?"

Praise! Praise it with all your might!

But in this process, everything must not appear too deliberate.

Otherwise, not only would it be beneath his status, but it would also easily cause trouble for Luo Mo.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Chen Luo wrote a not-too-long Weibo post and uploaded a selfie of himself holding the ticket stub in the Cinema.

"By chance tonight, I went to the cinema to watch 'Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child'. This is my first time watching a domestic Animation movie in a cinema. The viewing experience was excellent, very passionate, and I even almost shed tears at one point. I hope domestic Animation movies can keep getting better!"

Chen Luo had originally watched a late-night screening, and although the movie "Nezha" is only about 110 minutes long, it was already the middle of the night.

However, do not underestimate the number of night owls in our country.

At the same time, do not underestimate Chen Luo's influence.

The number one entry on the Weibo Hot Search list, at two o'clock in the morning, became: 【Chen Luo says 'Nezha' is both fiery and tear-jerking】.

Well, Chen Luo said he almost shed tears, so rounding up, we'll just count it as him crying while watching.

What kind of promotion is awesome promotion?

It's when your opponents are conquered by your work and praise it lavishly in public!

After this Weibo Hot Search appeared, a large number of night-owl "cultivators" flooded in.

"Am I seeing things? Chen Luo is praising 'Nezha'?"

"Does he not know that Luo Mo is the director?"

"Experts sparring, and then starting to appreciate each other?"

"My interest is piqued, suddenly I want to go to the cinema to watch it."

"I was originally planning to watch 'Monster Hunt 2' first, I'm going to watch 'Nezha' tonight!"

At this moment, Luo Mo, who had long since fallen asleep, did not know what had happened on the internet.

Because the previous album competition was already known to everyone and had caused quite a stir, this Hot Search would likely remain on the list throughout the day of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Before going to sleep, Luo Mo had only checked the first-day box office for "Nezha".

The first-day box office for "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" was 189 million.

Among all the blockbusters released during the Spring Festival season, it ranked third.

Ranked first was "Monster Hunt 2", and ranked second was "Journey to the West: Six-Eared Macaque".

"Hidden Dragon in the Abyss", starring a Kung Fu Hustle Superstar, ranked fourth by a narrow margin, right below "Nezha".

Luo Mo was extremely satisfied with this figure.

It may seem like it only ranked third, but one must consider the circumstances under which it ranked third.

This year's Spring Festival season was hailed by the media as the most anticipated one, with blockbusters gathering and competition being fierce.

Like the hit series "Monster Hunt 2", and "Journey to the West: Six-Eared Macaque" which gathered big stars and had an incredibly extravagant cast of Actors, experts estimated their box office to be over 3 billion.

In such a situation, "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child", as an Animation movie, had its screening share squeezed to only about 16%.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the total national single-day box office for all movies combined was—950 million!

This does not include the Pre-sale Box Office for the following days.

In other words, "Nezha"'s box office share was around 20%.

"A box office share higher than the screening share, this is a good thing," Luo Mo said in his heart.

Usually, movies on the first day of the Lunar New Year don't have to worry about not having an audience.

The higher the screening share, the more advantageous the first-day box office is; this is an inevitable fact.

But what follows is different.

What follows depends on word-of-mouth!

Luo Mo had great confidence in "Nezha".

So, other directors and investors were suffering from insomnia today, while only he was fast asleep in bed.

Unlike Luo Mo, in Guangcheng, a young couple was suffering from insomnia in bed.

To avoid being crowded in the same Cinema with unruly children, they specifically went to watch the late-night screening of "Nezha".

After returning home from watching it, these two night owls even took a shower and got a little playful in the bedroom.

After being playful, the man's heart was as calm as water, while the woman silently picked up her phone to scroll through Weibo.

Soon, she couldn't help but push the man hard.

"What's wrong?" The man's face was written with a few big words: I have no worldly desires.

The woman patted him while showing him her phone.

"Chen Luo! That person sitting next to us in the Cinema, it seems to be Chen Luo!"

"Chen Luo? Which Chen Luo?" The man didn't react for a moment, glanced at his phone, and only after seeing the selfie Chen Luo posted on Weibo did he say, "Isn't this that 'bladder-holding uncle'?"

So the person with a good bladder is Chen Luo! —The man was shocked.

The woman, however, was only busy being excited: "I sat one seat away from Chen Luo and watched a movie together!"

After the excitement, she regretted not recognizing Chen Luo and missing the chance for an autograph and a photo.

The man looked at his wife and wondered, "Aren't you a 【Mo-person】?"

"So what? Just because Luo Mo and Chen Luo's albums are competing, I have to hate Chen Luo and stop listening to his songs? We 【Mo-people】 don't do that," the woman said.

"Besides, look closely, Chen Luo is praising Luo Mo's movie!"

"He almost cried while watching it!"

Rounding it up—Luo Mo is an Ox!

After a short while, the woman thought: "No, no! He did cry! I can testify that he cried while watching; I even heard him sniffling!"

"Are you sure Chen Luo wants someone to testify online that they heard him sniffling like crazy?" the man asked.

"Who cares, I'm not his fan anyway!"

The woman climbed out of bed, pulled out the corner of her silk nightgown that was stuck in her underwear, and then, barefoot, began rummaging through the pockets of her jeans to find the ticket stub.

"It's not lost! Haha!"

Both human testimony and physical evidence are present.

—Chen Luo, do you still say you didn't cry?

……..

……..

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Mo woke up at 8:30 in the morning.

He has a bad habit: when brushing his teeth, he likes to brush with one hand and play on his phone with the other.

Luo Mo casually opened Weibo, originally wanting to see the audience's reviews of "Nezha".

As a result, two items on the Hot Search list caught his eye, leaving him completely confused.

The number one Hot Search was still: 【Chen Luo says "Nezha" is both stirring and tear-jerking】.

The second Hot Search was actually: 【Chen Luo really cried】.

Luo Mo: "???"

He felt puzzled by the first Hot Search.

Although many celebrities spontaneously promote his work every time he releases a movie, he never thought Chen Luo would be among them.

And judging by the selfie and text he posted, the man was Afraid really went to the cinema to watch it.

As for the second Hot Search, he was truly dumbfounded.

"What kind of massive social death scene is this?" Luo Mo was shocked.

But he had to say........ well done!

The promotional effect these two Hot Searches could have on the movie "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" was simply too good!

Especially the second Hot Search 【Chen Luo really cried】.

The popularity it could bring was Afraid much better than Chen Luo's promotional copy!

These days, the gossip-loving public are all Joy-seekers.

"Joy! Joy is all that matters!"

—Today's portion of happiness was provided by Heavenly King Chen.

As for the grievances Heavenly King Chen suffered in this...

"I have received your Kindness," Luo Mo said in his heart.

(PS: I have to go to the hospital tonight; An'an has an MRI around 8 o'clock. I will strive to write more tomorrow.)
