Director Chen was very satisfied with the advance ticket sales.
It was the right choice not to cast Zhang Zhan as the second male lead.
Of course, the advance ticket sales for their film today also benefited from the help of Zhang Zhan's fans.
If it weren't for their constant bashing of Su Han, which pushed their film onto trending searches, their movie wouldn't have garnered so much attention.
Compared to many films that need to spend a lot of money on early promotion, the most profitable aspect of their film was that it didn't require much additional spending on publicity.
The May Day holiday slot!
Su Han and Zhen Zidan's "The Fatal Move" was released alongside Stephen Chow and Zhang Yuqi's "CJ7"!
On the day of the film's release, Zhang Yuqi specifically went to a cinema to watch Su Han's movie.
And Su Han also went to watch Zhang Yuqi's film.
Zhang Yuqi, who hadn't expected much, entered the cinema. However, after watching it, she was deeply impressed by Su Han's acting and fight choreography.
That evening, she directly called Su Han.
Su Han had just returned from watching "CJ7" and, after taking a shower, saw Zhang Yuqi's call.
"Zhang Yuqi?"
He answered.
"Sister, it's been a long time."
"Su Han, Su Han, you're truly amazing."
Zhang Yuqi began with praise.
"What's up? You haven't tried it yourself, so how do you know I'm amazing?"
"Oh, come on!"
Zhang Yuqi was amused by Su Han's cheeky remark.
"Your movie was released today, and I went to see it. Your acting and your fight scenes truly stunned me."
"Your acting couldn't have come from a background extra, right? Did you study at a professional academy before? Your acting is truly textbook-level."
"If you ask me, you are absolutely not inferior to Zhen Zidan in this film."
"You acted so well, you brought the villain role to life. It was just a bit heartbreaking to watch, it gave me goosebumps."
"Especially that scene on the highway where you crawled under the car. My God, I was blown away at that moment. That scene was even more terrifying than Sadako crawling."
"Su Han, you've succeeded! In the near future, you're definitely going to be famous, directly crushing that pretty boy Zhang Zhan. Do you believe me?"
All of Zhang Yuqi's praise was sincere; she was genuinely stunned by Su Han's acting and the fight sequences.
Hearing Zhang Yuqi's praise, Su Han was quite happy.
Heh, is Zhang Zhan even qualified to compare with me?
Damn it, not at all!
I'm from the grassroots school, the school of talent!
He's from the looks-based, no-works, pretty-boy school!
The sissy school!
Su Han had long been fed up with this kind of entertainment industry. His goal was to change this industry in the near future, to conquer the entire entertainment world with his talent.
To let everyone know how the school of talent dominates the entertainment industry!
"I believe you!"
Su Han said with utmost certainty.
"Oh, you're very confident."
"Of course. Someone like Zhang Zhan isn't even qualified to compete with me. My goal is to be a Best Actor, to dominate the entertainment industry!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuqi couldn't help but gasp.
This guy's ambition is higher than I thought, but reaching the status of Best Actor is still a long way off.
Being a Best Actor isn't that easy. Many people in the entertainment industry strive their entire lives without achieving this position.
The position of Best Actor is too difficult, too difficult.
Although Zhang Yuqi knew this well, she didn't point it out directly and instead encouraged Su Han.
"Keep going, I hope I can have the opportunity to see you reach the position of Best Actor in my lifetime."
"Tsk tsk, Sister Yuqi, hearing you say that, I know you don't believe me."
"Being a Best Actor is too difficult. Although Sister believes your acting is truly excellent, reaching that position is hard."
"Just wait, I will work hard."
"I hope one day to see you standing on the stage, winning the Best Actor award."
"That's for sure."
"By the way, I watched your movie today too. It was very good."
"Really?"
"It was very youthful, not at all like your real self."
In "CJ7," Zhang Yuqi played a female teacher, and her image was indeed very youthful, with light makeup, making her look very pure.
"Hiss? Are you praising me? Why does it not sound like praise at all?"
"How is it? Is life good when you're relying on a big shot?"
"I'll be taking on commercials in a while, so I need to build up my value first. Stabilize myself, then improve my acting, and take it slow."
Zhang Yuqi said seriously.
"Right, about that girl group you asked me to help inquire about. There's actually a program preparing to create a domestic girl group soon, called... something like 'Produce 101.' I know someone there, and I can help get her in."
"By the way, can she sing and dance?"
Su Han frowned slightly, his eyes darting.
"No."
"Then what can she do?"
"She can cry."
Zhang Yuqi: ??????
"She probably can't do anything, but she looks quite good. Don't domestic girl groups just need good looks?"
Zhang Yuqi listened and felt Su Han's reasoning was quite sound. She nodded, "That's true, most of the girl groups and boy bands created by these variety shows nowadays mostly rely on appearance, and don't need too much skill."
"If all else fails, I'll have people find teachers for her, and she can learn to dance and sing before the show."
"That would be great! I'll trouble you with this. I'll contact her in the next couple of days so you can coordinate."
"Okay."
"Tonight, we can eagerly await the movie's box office results."
