A few days later, the movie <The Invitation> was soon released in theaters.
Due to the effect of the critics and reviewers who watched the first premiere, everyone who had read their posts and reviews couldn't stop wondering if the film was truly marvelous.
Many theaters expected a surge of audiences as soon as they opened. Thus, they carefully raised the security level. Although the number of audience members who would come to the first viewing of the movie was uncertain, they still wanted to be prepared.
Thankfully, they were prepared. Who would have thought that as soon as their doors were opened, a crowd soon came rushing in?
Not only that, the moment it was already ten in the morning, the lines outside many theaters in different cities were filled with people!
Those who came to watch the movie out of interest arrived very early. But those who came because they were passing by got dragged into the line in the end due to their interest rising.
"Is this film really wonderful?" someone in the crowd whispered.
As soon as their words fell, the people nearby turned and looked at them.
"Did you not watch the number 1 hot search videos last night?" the person who asked was embarrassed as they scratched their head. "What video?"
An older woman glanced at the person before sighing and said, "The film showing today is predicted to be nominated internationally. It's not confirmed what award it will get, but from the high reviews and comments it received from high-profile film critics, the award should be exceptional!"
"That's right, that's right! I saw a video of a foreign actor praising the film too!"
"I also heard that the actors this time consist of not only new actors and actresses, but also veterans! I'm really excited to find out what the film is all about." Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Several people had already sung their praises for the film even before watching it. Some people who didn't know better were skeptical and doubtful. Could a film be so outstanding as they said? These people weren't paid to exaggerate the film, right?
Even though a lot of people were still unconvinced and chose another movie to watch that day, the moment they saw the line outside for the film <The Invitation> did not decrease at all, they all changed their minds and watched it.
At the same time, the production and promotion team behind the film <The Invitation> were intensely monitoring the public response to the film. The members couldn't sleep at night, and when the first public premiere was finally released, their spines couldn't stop tingling. Even the actors who played in the film were nervous.
"Is that a painting knife?" Ran Xueyi asked in a confused manner after she recognized what was in his hand. Yet, she still couldn't understand how they messed up the room.
Song Yu Han didn't expect Ran Xueyi to return so quickly. She told him before she left that she was going to meet a director for a variety show she was invited to be a guest. So, he thought he had bought himself and his son some time for themselves to try painting seriously to prove to her that they could also do it.
Unfortunately, the two of them were too engrossed in 'painting' that they ended up spilling the paints all over the living room.
But the painting knife that Little Zhanzhan picked up and threw away was the last surprise they gave her. It actually hit the TV and poked a small hole in it.
It was around the time Ran Xueyi arrived that Little Zhanzhan picked up the painting knife and hid it behind his back.
After hearing them explain the chaotic event that took place in the room, Ran Xueyi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But one thing was for sure.
They needed to be punished.
"From today until the end of this month, my room and bed are off-limits!" Ran Xueyi finally told them. Song Yu Han and Little Zhanzhan showed expressions of protest, but faced with her fury, they could only close their lips and swallow their words.
Even though she appreciated their effort to give her a surprise, it was absolutely not alright for them to make a mess and protest when they were given punishment!
She still wanted to scold them and emphasize the importance of not being wasteful when her phone suddenly buzzed.
Ran Xueyi picked up the call and frowned.
The voice trembled as it spoke: "Xueyi... run. Don't let them find you!"
