The reason why Tangning didn't prepare for 'The Ant Queen 2' was because 'The Ant Queen' hadn't officially been released yet. For the sake of the Fei Tian Awards, Mo Ting deliberately delayed its release. But, surprisingly, the film's popularity did not drop.
Awards ceremonies were being held on all the major platforms, but none of them caught Tangning's attention. Her biggest wish this year was to help Qiao Sen win back the Best Director Award that was supposed to belong to him!
On the eve of the release of 'The Ant Queen', it started snowing in Beijing.
Under the cover of the cold winter, Tangning fulfilled her promise and booked all the theaters in the country so that her fans could see the film that she and Qiao Sen had spent so much time and effort on.
At the same time, there were also a few other outstanding films being released. But, everyone knew about Tangning's' The Ant Queen ', so they automatically avoided it and changed the release date to ensure it was released before Tangning's film. This was the only way to ensure that fans wouldn't lose interest in the other films after seeing' The Ant Queen '.
Avoiding Tangning's film was the industry's default response. After all, they couldn't compete with her in anything. So, they did everything they could to avoid embarrassing themselves.
On the night of the official release, President Mo finished work early and returned home. After he chased away the cold, he approached Tangning and said, "Pack your things, we're going out …"
"Huh?"
"Let's go watch a film."
President Mo coaxed his three children to sleep and instructed the nutritionist to take good care of them before he left the house with Tangning.
The couple wore thick coats and black gloves as they walked hand in hand to the entrance of the theater.
Luckily, it was winter, so they didn't want to be discovered. As long as they wore a scarf, they would be able to conceal themselves.
Originally, they could have chosen a luxurious venue and watched the film in a large and comfortable theater. But, Mo Ting knew that Tangning wanted to know the audience's thoughts as soon as they appeared. So, he decided to bring Tangning along with him.
After arriving at the theater, Mo Ting parked his car while Tangning waited at the entrance. At this time, a five-year-old girl suddenly pounced into Tangning's arms and hugged her legs, "I recognize you, you're Tangning. You've appeared on a lot of newspapers."
Tangning was a little surprised. She couldn't understand where this child had come from. She then squatted down and asked, "Where are your parents?"
"Tangning, can you give me an autograph?"
Tangning was already in her early thirties, yet a little girl called her by her full name.
So, Tangning smiled as she pinched the little girl's red cheeks, "Of course."
Afterwards, the little girl's mother ran over. She covered her mouth in excitement.
Tangning quickly made a shushing gesture. "Don't make a sound!"
"You... are you also here to watch a movie?" the young woman asked in surprise as she pointed at the cinema. "Are you alone? Tangling and President Tangling? "
At this time, Mo Ting finished parking his car and returned to Tangning's side.
Tangning turned and looked at Mo Ting helplessly, "I've been recognized..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. It's just … which match did you guys watch? Can I go with you? "
"Watching 'The Ant Queen' with a little girl is a little gory. I don't recommend it," Tangning laughed.
"It's okay. I'll ask her dad to take her to watch cartoons. Can I sit next to you?"
"Sure," Tangning nodded her head happily.
The three of them entered the cinema together. As they arrived early, there weren't many fans in the cinema. Tangning looked around and felt a little disappointed.
"Why are you nervous again?"
"Because I care..." Tangning immediately adjusted her breathing and calmed herself down. "I've waited too long for this day. Ting, did you know?"
"Qiao Sen will definitely see it. Don't worry."
The woman sitting next to Tangning felt a sense of familiarity when she saw how nervous Tangning was. It turned out, this legendary woman actually acted like a little girl in front of Mo Ting. She wasn't as simple as the rumors made her out to be; she had a lot of emotions. Even though she appeared elegant, it couldn't hide her nervousness.
"Tangning, you are easy to get along with! It's not as cold as the rumors say! "
…
There was a five-minute countdown to the start of the film. Finally, fans started streaming into the theatre. One empty seat after another, the entire theatre was filled to the brim.
But, Tangning's nervousness began again. Because, just because the theatre was full didn't mean they would be able to sit until the end.
Although she received high praises at the pre-screening, it wasn't impossible to rule out the possibility that there were some people that liked to show off.
The people that truly determined the success of 'The Ant Queen' had always been the audience.
Afterwards, the film officially started playing. For over two hours, only two or three people stood up to go to the bathroom. In fact, they ran back and forth as if they were afraid of missing something.
At the last second, the lights came back on. As Tangning watched the fans stand up from their seats and smile excitedly, she suddenly felt at ease.
Because, from the reaction of the audience, she could see the responsibility on her shoulders.
She had spent so much effort and even sacrificed her life to produce a film like this. But, what was it for?
Wasn't it for this moment?
"WTF, it's so exciting! The 'Ant Queen' is disgusting. But, after watching the entire film, I felt extremely satisfied and comfortable. "
"The few months of waiting was worth it... It was so good that I wanted to cry!"
"It's indeed produced by Tangning. She lives up to her reputation!"
"I've decided, from now on, whether Tangning acts in a film or produces a film, as long as it's related to the film industry, I'm happy. I hope God doesn't force her to leave the film industry."
"She's the number one domestic sci-fi film! It's Tangning, and it's also 'The Ant Queen'. "
Her ears were filled with the exclamations of the fans after watching 'The Ant Queen'. Everyone was extremely excited. If they had to describe it in one word, it would be 'stunned'! It was as if they couldn't wait to share it with the people around them.
This scene made Tangning want to cry.
From the moment she decided to make a sci-fi film, almost two years had passed …
It was thanks to Qiao Sen and Mo Ting's endless support that she got to where she was today.
Everything was worth it!
Outside the theatre, snowflakes were still falling. But, because of the screening of 'The Ant Queen', the theatre was bustling with activity. It had been a long time since something like this happened. The last time something like this happened was when Hai Rui released a trailer for 'The Ant Queen'.
Indeed, the only person that could surpass Tangning was herself.
"Please, Tangning, make as many films as possible. Make two every year!"
"Tangning, nothing can stop you from being my goddess …"
Seeing the overwhelming amount of comments online, Tangning was satisfied. So, she left the theatre with Mo Ting. However, at this time, Mo Ting discovered a frozen baby by the side of his car …
