Chapter 886: Wang Yingying’s Determination

No one had expected that the box office earnings of “Wolf Warriors 2” would be so terrifying. Neither did they expect that “Wolf Warriors 2” would have such a strong box office cohesion!

Even if everyone knew the reason why it had such a high ticketing sales in the early stage was because of its promotions. In the later stage, there was a high chance that it would be weaker than “Wandering Planet”. However… from the current curve, there was a high chance that it would surpass “Wandering Planet”.

In the past few days, all the major platforms had been flooded by “Wolf Warriors 2”. The trending search and index rankings were basically updating “Wolf Warriors 2″‘s box office records in real time.

At the same time, Jiadian Pictures also posted celebratory posters on Weibo.

However, unlike other movies, who would update their posters once every 100 million yuan, Jiadian Pictures would update their posters after every billion yuan mark.

The result of this was that countless netizens were laughing at the movie industry for not preparing in advance. There were not enough posters, or rather, the people in charge of the movie’s posters within the movie industry might have misjudged the small figure in the movie box office, so they only made one poster for 1 billion yuan.

And just as this holiday turned into a holiday about “Wolf Warriors 2”, those who had previously mocked Su Yang, looked down on him, and looked down on “Wolf Warriors 2”, like the actress who had attacked Su Yang, were now completely dumbfounded…

Actually, this particular actress was no simple woman. There was a reason why she attacked Su Yang and “Wolf Warriors 2” on WeChat.

Although Su Yang’s life had been smooth-sailing all these years, it wasn’t as if he had no enemies.

For example, the power that he had suppressed before, the famous director that he had slapped in the face, and the movie production companies that had their box office squeezed by his movies, they had always held a slight grudge against him.

Because Su Yang was too powerful and his results were outstanding, all these opinions were suppressed. No one dared to voice them out or provoke Su Yang.

However, that did not mean that it did not exist.

In the private investigation of this actress, she found out that because of Su Yang’s power, these forces were slowly forming a group. For example, those who had a grudge against Su Yang, such as the directors and directors, would work together and film a movie together.

For example, actors who were unhappy with Su Yang would be supported by these people.

So, after learning this information, her eyes lit up, and she wondered if she could join them.

After all, even if she said a million good things about Su Yang, Su Yang would not be able to bring her any benefits. However, if she expressed her dissatisfaction and disdain towards Su Yang in the film and television industry, those who had grudges with Su Yang might treat her as one of their own and support her.

As for Su Yang’s attitude…

It was not as if the actress had not thought about it.

She felt that as a low-level actor, she was worlds apart from Su Yang and could not attract his attention.

Furthermore, even if she managed to attract his attention, it would be a good thing for her! As long as she could use Su Yang’s popularity, she would be able to go from being a nobody to being a little famous. She might even be able to walk down the path of fame!

One had to know that the entertainment industry did not care whether the actors or actresses were infamous, or even vice versa. This was because it was still better than not being famous at all.

Also, those who were infamous were actually doing rather well as well, even better than their counterparts in fact. This was because they had more to be talked about, more controversial, more eye-catching, and… More shameless.

These infamous actors would dare to do things that other popular ones did not dare to do, because they were already covered in darkness, so they were not afraid of anything.

Therefore, other than some directors who cared about their reputation and would carefully consider collaborating with these infamous actors, other industry insiders actually did not reject them.

As long as they could become famous anyway…

Therefore, when she saw through the entertainment industry, this actress was prepared to take advantage of the popularity. That was why she publicly announced in the WeChat group that Su Yang was not worthy of the Best Actor award, and that “Wandering Planet” was just a product that was just a pretty face.

In order to attract the attention of those who had a feud with Su Yang, she even said some eye-catching things such as “running around naked” or “drinking water whilst handstanding”.

Indeed, many people had contacted her after that.

However, it was not because they had a feud with Su Yang. Instead, it was because of some male actors, directors, and so on. All of them hinted that they had a chance for the actress to work with them.

However, from the content of the conversation, the actress felt that… They just wanted to hook up with her because of how large her incident had spread…

Hence, since her target had not appeared yet, the actress could only wait anxiously.

In the end, while she waited and waited, the forces that she wanted them to try and rope her in did not appear. However, the box office earnings of “Wolf Warriors 2” were already released!

I reached 3.5 billion yuan in two weeks!

It had directly descended to second place in the domestic box office rankings with the most dominating presence!

The third most popular film in the country was “The Mermaid”, which was invested, produced, and starred by Master Xing, earning 2.981 billion yuan.

In fourth place was the Hollywood movie that broke a series of records last year, “Furious 7”, at 2.436 billion yuan.

In just two weeks, “Wandering Planet” had surpassed the first billion yuan in movie history from last year, crushing “The Mermaid”, which had just taken second place.

This kind of data was something that even “Wandering Planet” could not achieve half a year ago.

After all, at the beginning of the year, “Wandering Planet” and “The Mermaid” fought for almost a month before the winner was decided.

Although the box office earnings were strong in the early stages, it did not mean that it would be strong in the later stages. But based on the reputation of “Wolf Warriors 2”, it did not seem like it would be weakening at all.

Seeing this, the actress panicked.

The only reason she had made such a big bet earlier was because she believed that it would never come true.

After all, this was a box office giant that had just surpassed another box office giant, “Wandering Planet”! This was no longer a matter of capability, but a series of factors such as the market and luck.

‘Hasn’t Master Xing accumulated a load of reputation over the years, his overwhelming publicity, and the reputation of his previous movies? Yet, none of them won?

‘With domestic box office sales exceeding 2.5 billion yuan… This is no longer just a competition of quality, but luck.

‘As a result… “Wolf Warriors 2” is seriously lucky.

‘The evacuation incident in Central Asia has caused the movie’s popularity to reach an extreme!’

Therefore, when the actress saw the box office earnings for “Wolf Warriors 2” rising every day, her heart would thump harder and harder.

She did not know what to do.

‘I can still handle running naked… But how am I supposed to drink while handstanding?

‘Wait, I can’t even handle running naked!

‘I’m an actress after all, so if I run away now, who would possibly dare to look for me to film movies in the future? Who would possibly look for me for a collaboration?’

Therefore, the actress was really forced into a dead end. She did not get the chance that she had anticipated, and now she was in a precarious situation.

She really didn’t know what to do…

So, she had a headache for several days and thought about it for a long time. In the end, she only thought of one solution, and that was… To renege on her promise. She would leave the group and pretend to be dead, treating as if she had merely uttered nonsense previously!

‘Even though this might be a fatal blow to my reputation, it’s still better than running away, right?’

After some thought, the actress finally made up her mind. Hence, she clicked on the group chat, opened the settings, and was about to press the [Leave Group] button.

Right at that moment, a friend request popped up on her WeChat.

Looking at the friend request, surprise flashed across the actress’ eyes before it turned into surprise!

You are reading story I’ll Add Points To All Things at novel35.com

Because… This friend request had the name of the Hong Kong director she had been following, Wang Jing’s… Assistant!

Actually, the actress had already gathered a list of names that she wanted to rely on, and Wang Jing was one of them.

Of course, she did not expect such a big director to contact her personally, so it was more than enough that it was his assistant who was contacting her at that moment!

‘A huge opportunity!’

At that thought, she quickly gave up on leaving the group and accepted the friend request.

Moments later, the friend request was accepted, and WeChat’s voice sounded.

The actress quickly picked it up respectfully.

A female voice sounded from the other end. “Hello, is this Ms. Wang?”

The actress quickly said, “Yes, yes, I’m Wang Yingying. You are?”

The female voice said, “I’m Director Wang Jing’s assistant. I want to discuss a business deal with you. I wonder if you’re interested.”

When the actress heard the person opposite her say that, she was stunned for a moment before confusion filled her eyes.

“A business deal?

‘Is it about a film?

‘Is this how they refer to films in Hong Kong?

‘I’ve never heard of such a tradition.’

As she thought about it, the actress said, “But, may… May I ask, is this about a film?”

The person on the other end said, “No, it’s just a business deal. I could tell you about it first and you take some time to consider after listening about it.”

…

The conversation lasted for 30 minutes. No one knew what they talked about, but when they finally hung up, the actress’s face was filled with hesitation.

Her expression kept changing, but it eventually turned into determination.

After that, she took out her phone and opened the group chat.

This time, she did not leave the group chat. Instead, she once again made a bold statement in the group chat. ‘So what if you’re riding on the wave that was brought by evacuating our compatriots? What does the box office even amount to if the movie’s trash, no matter how high it is?’

Her statement seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, so the group did not understand what she was saying.

However, she continued, ‘However, I, Wang Yingying, am not a sore loser. Even if I were to encounter such an unexpected situation and that “Wolf Warriors 2” actually achieves a high box office and it really becomes Su Yang’s next representative work, I will still fulfill my promise to run around naked as an apology to him!’

The group was instantly in an uproar.

Previously, when Wang Yingying mocked Su Yang and said that he was incapable, everyone guessed that she was stupid or wanted to attract everyone’s attention and make herself famous.

Of course, some people could tell that she was trying to gain popularity.

Therefore, even though they despised her, no one paid her any attention.

He felt that she would probably stop after this.

Especially now that the box office earnings for “Wolf Warriors 2” were getting higher and higher, a lot of people were already treating her as a laughing stock and thinking that she would definitely leave the group chat privately.

‘Judging by her state, it seems like she’s actually intending to go all the way.

‘Is she actually planning to do that?

‘But… What good would that do her?

‘If she really does lose her bet, she would not only become infamous, but her entire life would be ruined. No one would dare ask her to act in any movie, ruining her acting career.

‘Could she be thinking of becoming an internet celebrity?’

No one could guess her motive, but they felt that she was not being herself.

Therefore, after the commotion, the commotion inside the group gradually. Everyone was smart after all, and if they blindly replied to something that was about to blow up, they would be the ones to be blamed.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her anymore, the actress did not give up. It was not like she only had one group. Therefore, she started to make bold claims in all the groups. They were all related to Su Yang, “Wolf Warriors 2”, and running around naked.

Obviously, that 30 minutes call had prepared her for everything…

…

And just as this actress was starting to stir up trouble, the box office for “Wolf Warriors 2” continued to rise steadily.

3.6 billion yuan, 3.7 billion yuan… 4 billion yuan, 4.3 billion yuan, 4.6 billion yuan…

Every day was a new step for “Wolf Warriors 2”.

Very quickly, in just another half a month, “Wolf Warriors 2” broke through 5 billion yuan without any issues!

That’s 5 billion yuan within a month!

Although the box office earnings for “Wolf Warriors 2” had already dropped to around 100 million yuan and were still continuing to slide, everyone knew that it would definitely surpass the 5.3 billion yuan total box office earnings of “Wandering Planet”.

The only question was, what was the movie’s end game?

5.5 billion yuan? 5.7 billion yuan? Or 6 billion yuan?

According to the pattern shown by the movie, it seemed like… If the screening was extended, it was actually possible for the movie to reach 6 billion yuan!

At that moment, everyone could not help but recall Su Yang’s bragging during the “Mushroom House” program.

“If it’s just for fun, why would I make a movie?

“I really believe that “Wolf Warriors 2″ will be No. 1 at the box office. It might even surpass 6 billion yuan.”

This was something that had caused a heated discussion on the internet back then, but now… It didn’t seem hard to understand!

But… The confidence he had! He was seriously extremely confident!

At that time, who would have thought that “Wolf Warriors 2” would come across such a good opportunity? Who would have believed that “Wolf Warriors 2” could be so marketable!

Unless Su Yang’s eyes were that sharp!

Everyone could not help but recall what Lin Jiali had said on the show. “He’s always been that confident, but he never seems to fail.”

Only now did everyone understand the meaning of her statement.

‘Su Yang’s judgment could not be more accurate!’

Hence, Su Yang held the teacup and said calmly, “If it was just for fun, why would I make a movie then?

“I really believe that “Wolf Warriors 2″ will be No. 1 at the box office. It might even surpass 6 billion yuan.” This image was once again spread all over WeChat Moments.

At that moment, someone suddenly posted on Weibo. ‘The first 10 Billion Best Actor in the country has been born!’
