After the ending song finished playing.
The audience erupted into a clamor.
Their previously good moods vanished instantly.
A sense of regret washed over them, making them want to roar in frustration.
A thousand words, a thousand emotions, all condensed into a single expletive.
"Fuck!"
That's right.
The final blow was too cruel, like a stab to a major artery.
The first rescue of Nie Xiaoqian from Tree Demon Grandma was already a satisfying moment.
Then, another rescue from Black Mountain Old Demon, making the audience's blood boil.
The anticipation of defeating evil forces and finally achieving a happy ending had reached an unprecedented peak.
However, the very end left all the viewers with lingering dissatisfaction!
It felt like foreplay was complete, the atmosphere built to its highest point.
Pants were down, but the person suddenly disappeared...
Frustrating.
Enraging.
It was too heartbreaking!
This Jiangnan old scoundrel was ruthlessly wielding his pen.
"Brothers, we've been had!"
"Who am I, where am I, why did I come to watch the old scoundrel's premiere?"
"In this lifetime, will I ever see a work from the old scoundrel with a perfect ending?"
"I was too young, I thought after Journey to the West, the old scoundrel would have a change of heart, but who knew... damn it!"
At the same time.
Outside cinemas across the country.
Many people emerged, grumbling and cursing.
In Li Weiming's theater hall, the audience had already dispersed.
On his shoulder, his girlfriend Song Fei's tears had soaked his clothes.
Li Weiming rubbed her head and said with a choked voice, "Let's go, the movie's over."
As he stood up.
Song Fei could no longer hold back, throwing herself into his arms.
"Don't end, I don't want it to end!"
Her grip was incredibly tight, as if afraid Li Weiming would leave.
"Okay, we won't end!"
Li Weiming held her hand and said with great conviction.
Song Fei gazed at him blankly, then nodded with force, her smile blooming through her tears.
"Happy birthday." She nuzzled the boy she deeply loved.
"Thank you." Li Weiming winked back at her.
After experiencing the tragic ending of the film, the two suddenly saw their real-life problems in a new light.
They didn't want their lives to have the tragedy of the movie.
So, whether it was family background or distance, as long as their hearts were together, these things were not problems.
Love transcends mountains and seas; all obstacles can be overcome.
...
With two super popular movies premiering on the same day.
The main focus was naturally on their box office performance.
Lin Yanzhi's return to China, riding the coattails of "Dark Night Rabbit" and provoking "Listening Rain."
This directly caused his fan count to surge to over ninety million in just over a month.
Furthermore, "The Legend of the Spirit Fox" had undergone extensive promotion across various channels before its release, even covering bus stop shelters.
Under such circumstances, the publicity was undoubtedly maximized.
When Lin Yanzhi announced the first day's box office results on Weibo.
All his fans were ecstatic!
"The first day's results are out, thank you for all the support from our fans, 'The Legend of the Spirit Fox' earned 320 million on its opening day!"
A first-day box office of 320 million.
This was already a very high figure historically.
It could definitely be considered a hit, and a very popular one at that.
This was Lin Yanzhi's first film since returning to China.
With such results, it was not far behind the box office performance of top stars.
"Congratulations to Brother Yanzhi for achieving 320 million at the box office!"
"Wow, Brother is amazing, I've already seen it twice, the movie is so good!"
"Just finished watching, 'The Legend of the Spirit Fox' is definitely a big production, such high box office is well deserved!"
"Wow! It grossed 320 million on its opening day, I remember the highest opening box office recently was Jiangnan's 'Fearless,' and that was only with the help of Ting Yu singing the theme song at the premiere ceremony, leading to such high box office. Brother Yanzhi is truly amazing!"
Among these fans, many were fans of Zhang Qingyun or other popular stars, who were attracted by Lin Yanzhi's popularity.
They hadn't expected that as soon as they started following a celebrity, they would achieve such high results.
When the idol is amazing, the fans gain prestige.
With "The Legend of the Spirit Fox" having such a high opening box office.
Those celebrity fans instantly became arrogant.
They didn't dare to mock Ting Yu, that was forbidden territory for celebrity fans.
However, Jiangnan's Weibo was fair game.
"Great author, what was the box office? Did it break any records?"
"The hype before the premiere was quite significant, even getting the Ting Yu singer group to help promote, and grabbing trending topics. Now you're speechless?"
"Sigh, actually, Brother Yanzhi's results aren't that great, after all, he only surpassed your first movie. I think he's not as good as you."
"Indeed, with the top king Ting Yu helping the great author Jiangnan, the premiere box office must have been very high, right?"
"Hurry up and post the data, we can't wait."
The characteristic of celebrity fans was to boast relentlessly as long as their idol showed any ability.
With even a small achievement, the idol doesn't get carried away, but the fans fly to outer space.
This is also why many popular stars are criticized by passersby. Many passersby don't dislike the popular star; they simply don't follow them. It's the obsessive fans who bring them bad reputation. It's because they're disgusted by these brainless fans that they become so repelled by popular stars.
When their idol has some success, they feel like they have to blow it up to world-saving proportions.
While they were boasting like this, Jiangnan still hadn't posted on Weibo.
This made many celebrity fans excited.
If Jiangnan's results were not as good as Lin Yanzhi's.
Then Jiangnan would be the perfect stepping stone for Lin Yanzhi.
Stepping on Jiangnan to rise to fame?
Just this topic alone would be enough to make him explode in popularity in a short period.
To firmly establish himself in the top tier!
These fans of theirs would then be considered founding fans!
...
Su Yu had just finished recording the program "Masked Singer."
He immediately saw Zhao Yuan send him the premiere data for "A Chinese Ghost Story."
The box office was 630 million.
It had to be said, this exceeded Su Yu's expectations.
After all, although there was a lot of promotion this time, it was all free promotion.
And he didn't sing the theme song himself.
To achieve this premiere result was already very good.
However, regarding the ending of "A Chinese Ghost Story," wouldn't those who watched the movie go crazy?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but shrink his neck.
But with a sense of mischievousness, he opened Weibo to check the fan comments.
When he saw the promotional Weibo for his "A Chinese Ghost Story," he was completely dumbfounded.
It was all filled with Lin Yanzhi's fans mocking him.
And Jiangnan's fans were clashing with them.
Seeing this.
Su Yu sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... why is it so hard to stay low-key?"
He smacked his lips and uploaded the screenshot Zhao Yuan sent him to Weibo.
And captioned it: "Seeing that many friends are concerned about the premiere box office of 'A Chinese Ghost Story,' I'll just briefly mention it. The results weren't particularly good, only 630 million. However, after all, it's a small-budget film, so a slightly lower opening box office is understandable."
After this Weibo post.
Su Yu put away his phone and rested his eyes in the car.
There were quite a few unexpected events in today's program, so Su Yu waited until after recording before finishing work.
He wanted to rest, but these celebrity fans were still making noise, wasn't this forcing him to slap their faces...
