"Tangning, this time, you can hold your head high!"
This was the sigh of the fans after the second pre-screening. Tangning did not disappoint. She made everyone that supported her feel proud and elated.
Although she was only a supporting character and didn't appear in many scenes, she left a deep impression on her fans. She was simply stunning.
Because of Tangning's acting, the topic of 'Stupid' was once again brought up. This time, there were a lot of comments, so the post that was previously slandered was brought up again. As a result, the 'insider' that slandered Tangning was exposed. This was simply a tactic used by their competitors; everyone in the industry knew about it.
After the second pre-screening, although the box office did not break the $10 million mark, the attendance doubled compared to the first screening. In fact, it even exceeded 'Devil Shooter'.
As expected, their competitors did not dare to hold a second pre-screening. After the first screening, the comments were already polarized. Especially after 'Stupid' stood out. With a few hundred million dollar investment and special effects that were comparable to those of a blockbuster, apart from fans, there was nothing else that could motivate them to watch the film!
Mo Ting had always been confident in his ability to win. So, from the two pre-screenings, 'Stupid' had already shown signs of making a comeback. It was a huge slap in the face for many in the industry.
Of course, this wasn't enough!
After all, 'Stupid' wasn't a mainstream film. Even up to this point, it was still too early to tell who would win or lose. Everything would have to wait for the box office to be released.
But, with Mo Ting's strategy, the entire Hai Rui did not have to worry about the future of 'Stupid'.
Because, Mo Ting was a legend.
This was also the reason why he and Tangning could stay together for the rest of their lives. They were too similar in nature.
No matter how impulsive the public was, they could always maintain a rational mind and make accurate decisions. In the end, they would shock everyone.
As expected, after the second pre-screening, the number of directors that contacted him increased overnight.
With a backer like him and Tangning's acting skills, anyone that didn't approach him would be a fool!
But, the real move was yet to come.
Because, 'W.H.' had not been announced to the public yet...
Mo Ting was confident that the release of 'W.H.' would cause an even bigger uproar!
Long Jie, Lu Che and Fang Yu took some time to watch the film. Although they knew Tangning's acting wasn't bad, they didn't expect it to be this good.
Long Jie, in particular, was shocked. Although she had seen Tangning shoot the film before, when she saw it in person, she couldn't help but be shocked.
After watching the film, they walked out of the theater speechless. After quite some time, Fang Yu finally asked Long Jie, "Did Tangning secretly sign up for acting lessons?"
"Screw you, how could she have time to learn acting? But, I know, since the beginning of the Dao, she likes to figure out all kinds of things, haven't you noticed? She doesn't even have a shadow of herself in any of the films and commercials she's filmed. This is called God feeding her! "Long Jie scoffed at Fang Yu in disdain.
"This is the first time I've seen it. It's amazing!" Fang Yu couldn't help but be impressed.
"She's sacrificed a lot too, okay? He could recite every line! Also, did Jingjing watch it? "
"When she returns tomorrow, I will take her to see it. Don't worry," Fang Yu said. He then turned to Lu Che and said, "Hurry and take your wife away, she talks too much."
"Are you looking for a fight?" Lu Che immediately defended Long Jie.
"Fine, you're bullying me because my wife isn't here!" Fang Yu smiled as he admitted defeat. "Regardless, I finally understand why the President has so much confidence in 'Stupid'. To be honest, I didn't even go to the test screening because I wasn't too interested. But, I trust in the President's decision. Now that I think about it, the film itself is really not bad."
"Our Tangning has slapped everyone in the face this time. Let's go, Che... let's go home and celebrate."
Fang Yu couldn't stand how noisy Long Jie was, even though Huo Jingjing didn't mind giving in to her...
...
Meanwhile, in a small theater in Beijing, Bei Chendong was sitting in the last row with Han Xiner wearing a baseball cap as they watched 'Stupid' being screened.
Of course, he was dragged here by Han Xiner.
Although he wasn't really interested in films like this, he had to admit that Lin Sheng and Tangning's acting was indeed remarkable.
As an actor, he wholeheartedly acknowledged those that were serious about acting. Tangning and Lin Sheng were like him.
This was the reason why he accepted Tangning from the start.
Because she was aiming to play a good role, not for those flashy fame and fortune.
In the film and television industry, this was no easy feat!
Soon, the 2-hour film ended. Han Xiner was in a complete mess of tears as she sniffled, "My Ning Jie is indeed amazing and the film was great. The person I like has finally appeared on the big screen."
"Why are you crying?" Bei Chendong asked impatiently. "You will get to see even more from now on."
"That's true." Han Xiner wiped away her tears and turned to look at Bei Chendong, "Now that I've seen it, I'm even more excited for 'W.H.'. With Ning Jie as the female lead, the scenes will be even grander and more exciting."
Bei Chendong glared at her.
She was always talking about Tangning...
Did Han Xiner only have eyes for Tangning?
"I'm done. Let's go home."
"Dong Ge... why don't you work with Tangning on another film? That way, I can see Tangning all day. "
"I will never work with her again," Bei Chendong replied in a low voice.
"Huh?"
"Cancel all my plans for the next half of the year. I need some rest." Bei Chendong waited until everyone had left before he stood up from his seat. Han Xiner quickly followed behind him.
"You're not going to act anymore? You're not going to take on any more projects? Wouldn't that be a waste of money? "
He even joined 'W.H.' for free!
If he was to rely on acting for a living, he wouldn't be able to support himself. After all, he wasn't a prolific actor and it all depended on his mood.
"Most importantly, if you don't take on any projects, what am I supposed to do? I can't possibly play with you all day. "
"You're right." Bei Chendong crossed his arms and said to Han Xiner, "The weather is getting hot. I'm going to the North Pole for a holiday. I'll take you with me!"
Han Xiner replied, "I want to work hard, I don't want to play with you all day. If you're still this lazy, then I won't be your assistant anymore. I don't like lazy men..."
Bei Chendong: "..."
The two women's argument quickly attracted the attention of passersby. To prevent themselves from being discovered, Bei Chendong hooked his arm around Han Xiner's neck and led her out of the theater, "Yes, yes, yes. Let's go back and read the script."
Although Han Xiner took a lot of effort to walk, her lips secretly curved upwards.
"Do you want to take on another film and television drama?" Han Xiner asked.
"You're very bold. You dare to make decisions for me?"
