722: Great Sales

Great Sales

On this night, many people might not be able to sleep because they had worked so hard all this while to show the public their achievement. However, the outcomes did not seem to work quite well. Hence, many of them appeared to be unsatisfied, but regardless of whether they were reconciled, their roadshow needed to be carried on. 0

Luo Lin also fell asleep in a daze. In fact, she was not aware of what time she fell asleep. After all, it should be very late. Even after she opened her eyes, she did not pay attention to the time. She woke up early in the morning while others were still sleeping. She was awake early because she could not fall asleep. It would be strange if she could still hit the sack. She was thinking if they could reach the target of 30 million, and retrieve their investment of 500 million. 

She went crazy whenever she thought of these things. Although Linlang was able to compensate for the loss, the only thing that could be indemnified was only money, but not their reputation. 

She turned on the computer and dared not check the number of tickets which had been pre-sold today. She spent nearly half an hour sitting there, and finally, she made up her mind to turn on the computer to check the pre-sold ticket for today.

10 million.

She lowered her head, thinking that it was over for this time, not because she was not confident with her own movie, but in her opinion, the production of Before the Beginning had certainly surpassed the international standard. However, it was difficult to satisfy the taste and preference of the audience. As for this 10 million, it was sufficient to inform her that they had messed up the movie, losing their audience and of course, their investment fund. 

She turned off the computer and freshened up herself exhaustedly. When she headed out to have breakfast with the rest of them, she was surprised to find others being energetic and extremely delighted. 

For sure these young people had yet to realize that their movie had gone down the pan. That was why they could still laugh out loud. Forget it, let them laugh for now and they could spend the next few days crying.

"For you," Yan Huan placed the breakfast in front of Luo Lin. Each person had a small bag filled with soybean curd, fried dough sticks as well as buns. If the portion was insufficient to fill one's stomach, one could request a second set as this was free-flow breakfast. 

"What expression is that? Did you lose money?" Yan Huan was eating her meal and realized that Luo Lin pulled a long face as she turned around. Her face looked terrible and she was wondering who offended Luo Lin.

"How could I get rid of this expression?" Luo Lin opened up her mouth, trying to smile but to no avail. 

"Yan Huan, the pre-sold tickets are 10 million, how come you can still be so relaxed? All of you can still smile but I can't. You are not the same as them, you are the founder of Linlang and the movie is produced by you. I think you know better than anyone how much effort you have put in for this movie. Aren't you sad because of the unfavorable ticket sale? This may be your last movie. Won't you want to leave a perfect end to your acting career?"

"10 million?" Yan Huan felt that this was almost impossible. Hence, she took out her phone and checked the tickets sold again. 

"Luo Lin, was your Mathematics taught by a language teacher?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Lin frowned. "I'm good at Mathematics, I used to be a representative for the Mathematics lesson."

"Really?" Yan Huan passed her phone to Luo Lin. "You count yourself to see how many zeros there are before you feel discouraged."

Luo Lin was stunned, she kept thinking about the number of zeros. When she was about to ask Yan Huan again, Yan Huan had already carried her bowl and walked over to eat with others. The whole crew seemed to be very relaxed, not revealing any feelings of being disturbed. 

She wondered if she had seen it wrongly. She quickly turned on her phone and started checking today's ticket sale. To her surprise, the initial 10 million was actually 100 million pre-sold tickets and the number of tickets sold was increasing tremendously. 

An advance sale of 100 million. What kind of a concept was this? If nothing went wrong, they should be able to reach a total of 200 million tickets sold for today. Perhaps, this was the rise of Before the Beginning.

A moment ago, she was not in the mood to have her meal, and now she was unable to eat because of her excitement. She must keep an eye on the box office. She felt as though the company was just like her condition. All of them remained calm and carried on with their tasks at hand. 

Especially Yan Huan, she wondered what Yan Huan was thinking about every day. She had never seen her worry about the box office, attendance rate or the audience reviews. On the other hand, the time she spent on daydreaming had increased over time. 

She felt the urge to knock on Yan Huan's head and asked her to at least be more alert during peak periods.

Luo Lin was waiting now. Her hands had never left her cell phone for a day as she was keeping track of the number of tickets sold. She never kept her eyes away from the figure. She would refresh the page several times in a minute.

However, there was a situation that had turned into a custom. The movie by Yan Huan would usually bring out a surprising after-effect. The tickets on the first day or in advance would not be a lot, but once it had received positive critics, the movie would become famous. She hoped that Before the Beginning would face a similar situation. 

On that day, Luo Lin held her phone and seemingly she had a muscle cramp most of the time. 

Until about 10 o'clock at night, her face turned pale, judging from it, one knew that it was the result of her hard work. 

"520 million."

Yan Huan blinked her eyes.

"What do you say?"

"520 million."

Luo Lin swallowed her saliva and she felt as though she was going crazy, seriously crazy. Yan Huan had broken the record for daily tickets sold. 520 million, oh my god, what kind of concept was that?

This time they would not make a loss. Finally, they had earned back their cost and more importantly their reputation. 

Following the box office of 520 million in a day, Before the Beginning was the top of the hot search and its popularity was way better than The Aster. 

The Aster had positive audience reviews while Before the Beginning was unimaginable.

Such an exquisite moment, a movie that was compatible with any international films. It felt like a 360-degree panorama and the rating rose from the initial rate of 8.2 to its highest rate of 9.8 at the moment. 

At first, they thought that Before the Beginning was not as good as The Aster. It was not known if it was Su Muran's desperate fans or the professional cyber paid posters who had devalued Before the Beginning the day before, with countless comments, claiming that this was a worthless movie. However, the box office today had successfully shut the mouth of these individuals. 

A box office of 520 million, seriously, 520 million of the ticket sales. It had completely broken the daily box office record of the White Fox two years ago. 

The maximum daily tickets sold by The Aster was approximately 200 million at most but Before the Beginning had exceeded 500 million. It was also released in North America and the performance there was not too bad as well. The box office record was continuously refreshed from time to time.
