The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 319 - 318. Has it left?

Chapter 319: 318. Has it left?

"Right, don’t panic!"

Steady on!

The staff on this side didn’t make a fuss, and the "Heroes in Troubled Times" crew had also received news of a rebound in the box office. Several people in the crew looked at each other and smiled.

"Looks like the Huan Ying posters did work?"

"Not necessarily, there might be the festival factor as well, we shouldn’t rush to conclusions."

"Has the data from the cinemas come through yet?"

"Here it is, the three major cinemas have sent us the data from all over, let’s analyze the reasons first."

As crew members, they knew better than the cinema staff where the strength of the film lay.

The high quality of the film itself was indeed a reason, but the character Huan Ying had been a hot topic since the release, drawing many audiences to buy tickets at cinemas.

"We did a survey on the most popular characters last time, do you think it’s a coincidence that Huan Ying topped the list?"

"I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Huan Ying’s popularity has remained high and even generated lots of fan fiction. And after this poster release, the comments on Weibo quadrupled compared to before."

If you say it’s a coincidence once, but with continuous high popularity related to Huan Ying, there can be no mistake.

While a few people were chatting, the analysis data came out, and they went over to study it together.

"On Lantern Festival morning, the seating rate of the other films released at the same time went up by about 5%, but ’Heroes in Troubled Times’ was 20% higher than the others?"

"How come so much?"

"Yeah, without any other factors, an 8% increase based on the number of showings would have been the limit."

"So, in addition to the excessive consumerism brought by the Lantern Festival, there really is the factor of the character Huan Ying?"

Truly incredible!

The group, each holding a piece of analysis data, were stunned.

***

Evening.

The Lantern Festival signifies togetherness.

Tang Shu, living alone in East Lake Community, didn’t feel lonely at all.

First, she made a cordial call to Father Tang, who was miles away, then she received sweet dumplings from Lin Yunlan and Yang Tiantian. Before she could put the first one in her mouth, the doorbell rang again.

Jing Yu stood at the door with a familiar food container, his eyes brimming with laughter.

"What brings you here, Jing Yu? Where are Uncle Jing and Aunt Xia?"

Tang Shu made room for him, and he walked in with the food container.

Jing Yu headed straight for the living room by the window and pointed outside.

Tang Shu followed his gaze with curiosity and saw a black business car stopped at the entrance; a person was half out of the passenger window, waving at her.

"Is that... Aunt Xia?"

No sooner had she spoken than she heard an indistinct voice from outside, and Xie Wuxia’s familiar upper body disappeared from the car window as the business car drove off.

It drove off?

Tang Shu was baffled and looked at Jing Yu, waiting for an explanation.

Were they on a rhythm of not even wanting their son?

Jing Yu was helpless, "My mom has a performance in Other Province tomorrow, and they’re off to have a date night tonight."

So, his conscience-free parents had abandoned him.

"What about Grandfather Jing?"

Truth be told, she hadn’t actually met the old man of the Jing Family yet.

"Grandfather has always been living at my eldest uncle’s place, we went to see him this afternoon."

"..."

Understanding dawned on Tang Shu after a moment, and she invited Jing Yu to sit down.
