Like them, Ling Yan's crew of Dream of a Long Life 2 had also received an invitation to the Lugano Film Festival.
Although Dream of a Long Life 2 was still doing well at the box office, it was obvious that it was not going to last long.
Also, the ratings on the internet were dropping.
Ling Yan was furious when she found out that the box office of Sleepless had exceeded that of Dream of a Long Life 2.
"I knew that Li Xiner's matter was not that simple. Sure enough, Mu Weiwei is using the opportunity to create hype."
She had deliberately caused such a thing before the premiere of the movie, so that Li Xiner could incite public opinion to attack her.
Then, she would announce the truth to the public the day before the premiere of the movie. When the public realized that they had misunderstood her, they would feel guilty towards her and support her movie.
Also, if the truth was revealed at that time, Li Xiner's movie, "We Met in Our Youth", would be cancelled due to the pressure and would be replaced by "Sleepless".
Not only did she gain popularity, she also did a unique promotion for the movie, increased the number of showtimes and drove Li Xiner out of the entertainment industry.
She was very smart to beat her at her own game.
"The clarification of the incident has indeed brought about a very high box office for Sleepless, and the netizens who are spontaneously promoting them are also helping them to boost the box office." Assistant Director Ke Wei sighed.
"If this goes on, the total box office will be surpassed by them." Ling Yan said with her teeth clenched.
They were such a famous director and she was in a movie, if Mu Weiwei's low-budget movie surpassed the box office, then she, the legendary Movie Queen, would be utterly embarrassed.
"That is inevitable, our ratings are dropping." Assistant Director Ke Wei sighed.
Ling Yan looked at James and Ke Wei and said unwillingly, "Let's go!"
"If it comes to that, you can afford to lose face, but I can't."
If the box office of Sleepless exceeded that of her movie, everyone would think that Mu Weiwei was better than her.
Ke Wei sat there and sighed, supporting his forehead with one hand.
"Dream of a Long Life is a masterpiece, and although it can bring us a lot of popularity and box office, the audience will naturally compare Dream of a Long Life 2 with the first one. I admit that we have not made a better film than the first one, and Mu Weiwei's Sleepless is indeed excellent …"
From the very beginning, he had said that this would be their biggest competitor, but they refused to believe him.
Now, he finally saw it with his own eyes.
"However, don't we already have an invitation to the Lugano Film Festival? And I've already confirmed with the judges that we won the award." James looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
Asked Ling Yan when he heard the news.
"Where are Mu Weiwei and the others?"
"They were also invited," Ke Wei said.
Such an excellent piece of work would definitely be successful.
James said, "Even if their movie has a certain level of capability, at most, they'll be given a newcomer award."
He had participated in so many television festivals, so he was all too familiar with this routine.
Without a certain amount of influence, it was impossible to win the grand prize on the first try.
"That is true." Ke Wei said.
Although Dream of a Long Life 2 was not as good as the first one, it was still very good compared to many movies that were released this year.
