Director James was a bit surprised that such a low-budget movie, would be so highly regarded by the media and film critics.
But he did not feel as threatened as Ke Wei did.
“There were very few people at the premiere, so it is normal that there are very few negative comments.”
“It is not that there are a few negative comments, but that there are none at all.” Ke Wei warned him.
James said, “But overall, we won’t lose in the box office. Also, after the judges finished watching the movie last night, they praised our movie so much. Don’t worry too much.”
Maybe the other party was indeed excellent, but at most, he would get a newbie award and it was not enough to beat them.
Ling Yan thought for a while and said, “We can increase the promotion after we return back home. As for the comments and media reports, they can be solved with money.”
She did not want Mu Weiwei’s movie to be released.
But because of Fu Hanzheng, she could not stop her.
All she could do was to win a high box office return for this movie and not let any movie exceed hers.
Ke Wei thought for a while. Now that the movie was out, that was all they could do.
A few days later, the films released at the Lugano Film Festival were included in the list of nominees, including Gu Weiwei’s Sleepless and Ling Yan’s Dream of a Long Life 2.
Although there was still one more week before the film festival finished and the final award was announced, Gu Weiwei and the others had to get ready to return home.
Because tomorrow was the premiere of Sleepless, and as the main cast, they had to attend it.
However, when Qiu Ling was waiting for the plane, she did some online research and found that Mu Weiwei was still being boycotted by everyone.
And so the movie Sleepless, which she had directed and starred in, was also being boycotted by angry people.
Also, after a few days of fermentation, the anger of the public had reached an unprecedented height.
She sighed as she thought about it. They were coming home from Switzerland today and it would be tomorrow when they returned home. They were just in time for the premiere.
Since the first premiere had been held in Switzerland, the movie would soon be released after the domestic premiere.
But the current situation did not look like a happy premiere.
Also, if the screening was cancelled, how much box office could they get with the Fu’s Enterprise’s cinemas?
Mu Weiwei had said on Weibo that she would give the public an explanation on Monday.
It was Monday and she was still in Switzerland with them. There was no movement from the agency either.
She was about to ask her about it when she saw her getting up to make a call.
With the phone in her hand, Gu Weiwei walked to a quiet place and asked Jolin, who had answered the call, “How are the preparations going?”
“Don’t worry, everything will be settled when you are back.” Jolin said and reminded them. “Even if you return home, there will be a lot of media reporters waiting for you at the airport.”
“Got it, we will be careful.” Gu Weiwei said.
“But it would be a pity if you don’t do it yourself, especially because it is so important.” Jolin said with a smile.
Gu Weiwei chuckled. “Didn’t I already do that?”
When Li Xing’er went to find her, she knew that something bad was going to happen. When she tried to provoke her, she already knew what she was up to.
Li Xing’er pretended to be the victim to gain sympathy. She had been in the limelight for so many days and it was time for her to pay the price.
Nothing was free.
