A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire
Chapter 1152: Annoying
Just as Mu Yan expected, on the first day of the film’s release, the box office exceeded 200 million, far surpassing other films released at the same time.
With her and Li Yushen’s box office appeal, plus the director being Chen Zhou, it’s not surprising the premiere day would exceed 200 million.
After all, a previous flop had broken 300 million on its first day due to the producer stirring up nostalgia, but the total box office was just over a billion, showing that premiere box office doesn’t mean much.
By the second day, it had directly broken 300 million, and on the third day, it had more than 200 million, indicating the film’s good reputation.
The big written score of 9.3 on a certain social media website also proves this work’s excellence.
This time, Chen Zhou’s new work is completely different from his usual grandiose power struggles and imperial ambitions, being a literary love story.
However, the male and female leads experience emotions across past and present lives, and three lifetimes, which is unconventional, deeply moving, and tear-inducing.
From filming to editing, everything is meticulous, not inferior to Chen Zhou’s past works, and even more widely accepted.
"Director Chen promised it wouldn’t be tear-jerking, yet here I am crying my eyes out."
"Thankfully, the ending is considered satisfactory, or I’d send knives to the director."
"It’s really a great work. I used to think Director Chen was only suited for political intrigue movies, but I didn’t expect his emotions to be so delicate. He filmed it beautifully."
"I always thought Mu Yan was just lucky to be so popular, but after watching this film, I admit her acting skills; she portrayed three roles with different personalities perfectly. Of course, Li Yushen was as good as always. I wish for great box office success!"
...
With the film showing, everyone praised it, and Mu Chen also wanted to go to the cinema to watch it.
Mu Yan didn’t want to agree, but Mu Chen said she was breaking her promise and threw a tantrum.
Before the film’s release, Mu Yan did promise to take him to the cinema to watch it, but she had been feeling worse lately, and was hesitant.
In the hospital room, Mu Chen lay sideways, back facing Mu Yan, cheeks puffed up in anger.
Mu Yan, seeing his childish tantrum, was helpless, "Soon you’ll be able to watch it online for free, won’t it be the same on the computer?"
"If it’s really the same, why do so many people go to the cinema? Sis, are you trying to fool a kid?"
Mu Yan, "..."
If it was about fooling a kid, that would be much easier.
She wouldn’t relent, and Mu Chen wouldn’t talk to her.
In the evening, Jiang Jingheng came by, noticing the tense atmosphere between the siblings, asked about the reason, and then said, "I’ll handle this."
"Don’t indulge him," Mu Yan tugged at his sleeve, frowning slightly.
Jiang Jingheng observed her expression and said, "It’s just a few hours out; it won’t be a problem. I’ll arrange for a doctor to accompany."
"Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?"
"Can you convince your brother otherwise?"
Mu Yan looked at Mu Chen’s stubborn face, which seemed to say "don’t bother convincing me."
She helplessly said, "Alright then."
Just then, her phone rang, and she went out to take the call, leaving Mu Chen and Jiang Jingheng alone in the room.
Mu Chen smiled, "Thank you, brother-in-law. If it weren’t for you, my sister definitely wouldn’t agree to me watching the movie."
"She’s worried about your health," Jiang Jingheng said with a faint expression.
Mu Chen looked at his own condition and said helplessly, "No matter how careful I am, without a suitable heart, I won’t live much longer. Besides, even if there is surgery, there’s no guarantee of success."
"Since you know your health situation, you shouldn’t let your personal desires make her worry."
Noticing his tone was off, Mu Chen looked up into his icy gaze, on his handsome face seemingly touched by frost, extremely indifferent.
