Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Jealous of Bo Chi
Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Jealous of Bo Chi
Huo Shiyan said, “Si Chen didn’t launder money, it’s just that Huohuo is still trending on the hot search, and it’s generated quite a bit of publicity.”
Yuan Xi opened her cell phone to check, and indeed, Xiao Shihuo was still trending. She couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret. Because she had only gone out to watch a movie yesterday, she only applied a bare face cream—had she known she would stay on the hot search for such a long time, she should have done a full makeup.
The promotion of “The Acme of Love” highlighted the lifestyles of top tycoons, which also sparked some of the audience’s curiosity. Coupled with the boost from top actor Fang Ming, the movie’s box office remained high.
But Xiao Shihuo happened to be a real top tycoon. Even the young Crown Prince from a tycoon family said private planes were a waste of resources, which shows the portrayal of tycoon life in the movies is too extravagant and vain.
Moreover, sci-fi movies in domestic cinema are very rare, with only one or two noteworthy ones.
“Escape from Galaxy” boasts special effects comparable to Hollywood’s, that’s where real money and technology are burned, not by actually wasting fuel with private jets flying in the sky.
As a result, audiences who disliked “The Acme of Love” flocked to buy tickets for “Escape from Galaxy.”
There were also many film critics recommending “Escape from Galaxy,” and a lot of astroturfing spontaneously promoting the film.
“Can’t believe this is a Youzi Film and Television movie? Hasn’t Youzi always been known for throwing money around? How come there’s no budget for promotion?”
“Rewatched ‘Escape from Galaxy’ and found so many Easter eggs. There are special effects scenes from ‘Interstellar Voyage’ in there!”
“‘Escape from Galaxy’ doesn’t preach, but it instills the message of protecting Earth’s resources in everyone’s hearts.”
“It’s also very suitable for kids. There are no animated movies this May Day, so you can take kids to rush for ‘Escape from Galaxy’!”
“Right, it’s very kid-friendly. Unlike some supposed genius movies full of nonsensical crap, fart, and pee jokes, where all the funny bits are in the trailer, nor is it as extravagantly vain as ‘The Acme of Love.'”
“In our childhood, when talking about dreams, we all said we wanted to be astronauts. Now kids talk about becoming internet celebrities or tycoons, which is too vain. ‘Escape from Galaxy’ reignites children’s longing for the stars and the sea.”
Over lunch, Yuan Xi saw that “Escape from Galaxy” had released a poster for breaking four hundred million.
You have to say, the promotion for “Escape from Galaxy” wasn’t great, but the celebratory hand-drawn poster they did was very heartfelt—apparently, it was prepared from the start.
In the afternoon, after doing full makeup, Yuan Xi followed Huo Shiyan to the cinema to watch “The Acme of Love.”
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Inside the theater, two-thirds of the seats were empty, but when they bought the tickets, it was nearly full, which meant their seats were all the way in the back.
As she watched, Yuan Xi felt fortunate that she was sitting at the very back.
Even to say that Mi Chen was blackening her own name would be a kindness.
In the movie, the secretary Chu Xinyan, who took over the female lead’s company, always wore tightly-fitted, cheap shirts with buttons that never seemed to stay closed, and her superficial smile reeked of tackiness, portraying her as a gold digger.
Hearing the name Chu Xinyan, Yuan Xi was already planning to send a lawyer’s letter. Although she hadn’t changed her name back to Chu Xinyan, after all, her ID card would still list Chu Xinyan as a previous name.
And the capitalist who helped Chu Xinyan take over the female lead’s company was a fat-headed, big-eared guy named Liu Dazhuang, wearing gold chains. As for the film’s female lead’s business partner, Gu Bingchen, he was a playboy who didn’t care about the company’s affairs and often hung out in nightclubs as a super-rich second generation…
Yuan Xi simply couldn’t watch anymore, grateful that she was sitting in the last row, where she could contact her lawyer with her phone without disturbing others.
Yuan Xi didn’t know if she could sue successfully, but she had to sue this film.
Huo Shiyan took Yuan Xi’s hand as they left the cinema and said, “If you send a lawyer’s letter to Mi Yi now, you’re just adding heat to the film. This film is doomed not to last long, there’s no need to take it to heart.”
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and calmly nodded.
Indeed, sending a lawyer’s letter now, if Mi Yi publishes it online, it would be like Yuan Xi acknowledging that the Chu Xinyan in the film is her. No matter the outcome, it would be like using Mi Chen to give Mi Yi publicity.
Back at Yunsen Court, Yuan Xi played with the two children, occasionally glancing at the box office stats.
“Escape from Galaxy” was nearing five hundred million, with the day’s box office already breaking four hundred million, making it the day’s top earner. “The Acme of Love” ranked second, its daily box office nearly a hundred million less than “Escape from Galaxy.”
Yuan Xi glanced and then stopped watching; from the current box office performance, it wouldn’t be difficult for Huo Shiyan to break even.
“I want to go to the amusement park! Sister, I want to go to Time Playground… Brother doesn’t want to take me to the amusement park.”
Xiao Shihuo pouted and approached Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi patted Xiao Shihuo’s head, “How about we don’t go today? The amusement park is very crowded, and you would have to wait in very long lines.”
Xiao Shihuo pouted, “But Time Playground is ours, right? Grandma gave the amusement park to the two babies~”
Yuan Xi remembered then, the children’s gifts really were too many, and it seemed there indeed was a Time Playground. She chuckled and said, “Then I’ll accompany you to play in the amusement park.”
“Sister is the best!”
Xiao Shihuo said, then pecked a kiss on Yuan Xi’s cheek.
After seeing this, Huo Shiyuan came over and grabbed Xiao Shihuo by the collar, “Don’t ever kiss Sister again.”
Xiao Shihuo tilted his head and asked, “Why can’t I kiss Sister? I like Sister!”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Because she is my wife, only I can kiss her.”
Xiao Shihuo replied, “Then when I grow up, I will marry Sister and make her my wife too!”
Huo Shiyuan sneered, “Dream on!”
Yuan Xi smiled lightly, took Xiao Shihuo’s hand, and said, “Huohuo, in the future you will marry another girl to be your wife. Let’s go, to the amusement park.”
The amusement park was incredibly crowded in the evening with many attractions filled to the brim, and wait times starting at 90 minutes for most of them.
Fortunately, they didn’t need to queue.
Yuan Xi hadn’t been to an amusement park for a long time, and revisiting brought back a flood of emotions; she had often visited the park with Huo Shiyuan when they were children.
Huo Shiyuan too recalled their childhood memories. Looking at Yuan Xi, he said, “When you were little, you were even afraid to ride the ferris wheel. I remember you gripping my hand tightly after getting on the ferris wheel. Did you ride it with Bo Chi last time?”
Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyuan and said, “I only spent one day in the amusement park with him. Stop being unreasonably jealous all the time.”
Huo Shiyuan asked, “So you did ride the ferris wheel together? You didn’t go on the roller coaster with Bo Chi—the one you’ve always been too scared to ride?”
Yuan Xi went silent.
Xiao Shihuo was keen on trying the rides with height restrictions because today, with his shoes on, he had just reached the height of 120cm, which made him think of visiting the amusement park.
The roller coaster Xiao Shihuo wanted to ride was extremely thrilling; unlike ordinary roller coasters that were already frightening enough, this one hung suspended and went backwards, making Yuan Xi feel too scared just looking at it.
Xiao Shihuo held Yuan Xi’s hand and said, “Sister, come with me!”
Yuan Xi replied, “It’s too terrifying, I can’t.”
Huo Shiyuan huffed, “You dared when you were with Bo Chi?”
Yuan Xi really regretted agreeing to come to the amusement park today.
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and said, “I already told you that day, I burnt him…”
Huo Shiyuan said, “You’ve never ridden a roller coaster with me.”
Yuan Xi replied, “Alright, today we will ride the roller coaster together, but after today you are not allowed to be jealous of Bo Chi anymore.”
Huo Shiyuan smiled faintly.
Xiao Shihuo happily took Yuan Xi’s hand.
In a row of roller coasters, Yuan Xi sat in the middle, Xiao Shihuo excitedly on one side, and Huo Shiyuan on the other, Yuan Xi clutched Huo Shiyuan’s hand, sweating cold sweat.
Huo Shiyuan looked at the nervous Yuan Xi and chuckled, “You can get off…”
Yuan Xi was taken aback, and Huo Shiyuan swept her hair back and said, “Knowing you care is enough for me.”
Yuan Xi replied, “It’s about to start, let’s not trouble the staff. I’ll just close my eyes tight.”
As the ride started, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan’s hands clenched tightly together, she held his hand firmly, feeling the thrill of the centrifugal force, and with the wind rushing by her ears, she surprisingly no longer felt afraid.
It was just like when they reached the top of the trembling ferris wheel in their childhood, and Huo Shiyuan held her hand tightly.
The Huo Shiyuan of now was also enough to make her trust; she was no longer afraid.
When the most thrilling moment arrived, Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyuan, gripping his hand even tighter.
After a loop in mid-air, even the usually composed Yuan Xi couldn’t help but let out a scream.
Xiao Shihuo shouted excitedly beside them, “This is fun, yeah!”
When the feeling of weightlessness brought on an imminent fear of death, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan’s fingers locked tightly together and she said, “Huo Shiyuan, I love you.”
