OMG. Don't mispronounce it as Omega just because of these three letters. It was a website owned by Yahoo. It was a gossip website about movie stars, entertainment celebrities, and gossip. The level of gossip in its posts was beyond your imagination.
There was also a group of amateur gossip reporters who went through the trash of celebrities. They would link the clues of these trash at a fixed time and finally put them together on the Internet to share their insights with everyone.
What did the star eat today? No matter what he bought, there would always be someone who would look at it with great interest.
Vivian logged into her OMG account happily and sent a photo of Qin Guan running away, as well as the ticket stubs for the movie.
The title of the post was also tempting: The Untold Story of Me and the Leading Actor of an Indie Film.
The content of the post was as follows: Today, I met the male lead of the elephant at the art cinema in New York. Speaking of elephants, I don't think many of my friends know, but speaking of the following person, I think everyone should have some impression of him on this website.
There was also a poster of Qin Guan for VOGUE at the end of the post.
Vivian's description of Qin Guan's handsomeness made all the gossipy girls behind their computers jealous.
It had only been half a day since it was posted, but with the influence of Vivian's experienced OMG member account, the number of views had reached more than a thousand.
"Please," Elephant "is not being shown in the US. Is the DVD available?"
"I'm curious. If it's not expensive, I would like to have a look at the photo posted by the original poster."
The school newspaper had already started printing. Vivian, who was very busy, saw so many enthusiastic netizens replying to her post. She happily posted a more detailed program of watching the movie.
"There are online movie rental providers on Netflix. You can pay attention to the distribution of the DVD." Elephant "is only showing in New York and Los Angeles at the same time."
OMG was indeed the largest gossip hub in the US. In one day, Qin Guan's "Elephant" had spread far and wide.
The underground power was slowly fermenting, but the official evaluation was as quiet as a morning in the suburbs.
The next day, Qin Guan went to school with his backpack. He bought a copy of "The New York Times" and flipped through the movie review section several times, but he didn't find anything about "Elephant".
Depressed, Qin Guan was about to seek comfort from his girlfriend when he realized that everyone was looking at him with green eyes.
Cong Nianwei smiled as she picked up the school newspaper from the shelf. On the first page of the octavo newspaper was a photo of Qin Guan. He was wearing a military uniform with a submachine gun on his back. His eyes were squinting slightly. He was so handsome that he had no friends.
"An indie film! Cheers for the charming Qin Guan of Columbia University who is on the same level as us! ‘
Cong Nianwei took out a school newspaper and waved it in front of Qin Guan. "Qin Guan, I don't know about the movie, but you're famous on campus."
Qin Guan's supporters were considerate enough to read the time, number and location of the film.
As an alumnus, it was necessary for him to show his support.
Therefore, they formed groups and formed groups, all intending to contribute their strength to this handsome alumnus.
Not long after class, Liu Tianxia came to Qin Guan with her female team. "President, we just received a donation from a small chamber of commerce in Chinatown. They said it was for the Chinese students at Columbia University."
"Film festival? What film festival? "
"Why didn't you tell me about your movie?" Xu Xiaoxiao had been holding it in for a whole class, so he finally said it out loud.
"I just took some money to invite my Chinese classmates to watch a film in the name of the chamber of commerce. What do you call this before? Yes, yes, yes! "
Qin Guan slapped him hard on the face. "You're bad at Chinese. You're really an actor! Show your support! "
Xu Xiaoxiao covered his head with his hands. "I've spared no effort in promoting you. Everyone in Chinatown knows about you … Hey, don't go. I'm your sponsor."

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Boys, who had been tempted by the film's "Elephant", were heading to Sunshine Cinema.
The ticket seller at Sunshine Cinema, who had the most leisurely job, was now busy dealing with the horrifying long queue in front of him.
"Two tickets for" Elephant "..."
"Ten tickets for" Elephant "..."
On the side, couples who were looking for a few romantic movies to watch looked at the long line that almost reached the door and looked at each other in confusion.
"What? Is there an indie film by a famous director? "
"Elephant? I've heard of it. It's an independent film with a small investment. It must have a good reputation. Do you want to buy two tickets? "
The hall, which could seat more than 400 people, was sold out in an instant. Even the seats in the worst row were sold out.
Just like that, the long queue continued to lengthen.
"What? There are no more screenings today? Tomorrow? My family has to work. Can't you increase the number of screenings? "
The manager of the cinema looked at the crowded hall on the first floor and gave some instructions to the security guard. Then, he went to look for the cinema's schedule. Fortunately, he had a backup film. He would find an empty cinema hall and add on at the last minute.
Another theater with a capacity of more than 400 was squeezed in. The manager, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately called the boss of the theater and told him about what had just happened.
"Yes, I've arranged for most of the screenings. Some people are coming in to ask questions."
"Yeah, we'll add two more shows tomorrow. Yes, we bought two films … Okay."
Two screenings a day, which would last for a week, had been doubled. Four screenings a day, which would last for half a month.
"Elephant": 2nd
New York Box Office: 720 dollars
Los Angeles Box Office: 600 dollars
New York Box Office: 7,000 dollars
Los Angeles Box Office: 800 + dollars
The next day's box office had increased tenfold.
