Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Terrifying First Day Box Office [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

At first, all there was in the theater were laughs.

”What a jokester, entertaining!”

”Seriously, these gags alone are worth the price of admission, not to mention it’s free now.”

”I almost cried during the robbers’ show of brotherhood, but damn, they were all just playing dead, holy shit, that’s too awesome!”

”And that Patriarch Bodhi, what a joker!”

”Supreme Treasure actually used Patriarch Bodhi’s hand for a fire, that’s just brutal!”

”So talented, so talented, just knows how to have fun like Lu Xiaobu.”

”It’s hilarious!”

”...”

But gradually, some people’s expressions started to change!

Some were still laughing, clutching their bellies in pain.

While others had unknowingly allowed tears to cover their faces.

Some even sat there, dazed, staring at the screen, no longer knowing whether to laugh or to cry!

Le Xiaojie was one of those who didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

He saw the shadow of his life in it.

That nagging Tang Seng, so much like the parents, teachers, and seniors of the past.

And that raging, wild, rebellious Sun Wukong who even considered joining forces with the Bull Demon King to eat Tang Seng, isn’t he just like himself back then, so impatient and full of rebellious spirit?

Having lost his power, the reborn Supreme Treasure as Sun Wukong, that is him going through the trials of society and university!

Suffering setbacks, being deceived, moved, betrayed.

Meeting that love-at-first-sight Bai Jingjing, though not perfect, but unforgettable.

However, fate is cruel, Bai Jingjing died, just like his dead-end romance.

Supreme Treasure, heart-wrenching, yearning endlessly, trying over and over to turn back time!

However, he then met Zixia.

Supreme Treasure doesn’t want Zixia; he is still fixated on Bai Jingjing.

But Bai Jingjing saw the tears left by Zixia in Supreme Treasure’s heart.

Bai Jingjing knew Supreme Treasure was in love with Zixia, so she gave up and didn’t marry Supreme Treasure.

Le Xiaojie knows, be it Zixia or Bai Jingjing, ten thousand people have ten thousand choices.

But if it were him, he would choose Zixia.

Thinking this, Le Xiaojie tightly grasped Lin Rong’s hand—she is his Zixia!

In his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh—this is what true youth is, with tears and laughter, joy and sorrow!

Yet!

Supreme Treasure’s ultimate, and most heart-wrenching choice arrived.

To become Sun Wukong meant he could not love Zixia, but to save Zixia, he must become Sun Wukong.

Seeing this scene, only two words flooded Le Xiaojie’s mind—maturity!

Maturity is painful, maturity comes at a price!

And with maturity, comes the end of youth!

”Look, that guy looks just like a dog.”

With this line, the movie of over three hours concluded.

That phrase, like a knife, pierced directly into Le Xiaojie’s heart.

He held Lin Rong’s hand even tighter, causing her pain.

But Lin Rong said nothing, just gently embraced Le Xiaojie: ”I don’t need a hero who comes riding on a cloud of colors, I just want the silly Supreme Treasure.”

In this moment, there were no desires between them, only mutual understanding and love!

The audience that laughed from beginning to end left; in their minds, this was simply a film that brought hearty laughter, well worth it!

But many more sat in their seats, motionless.

It seemed as though they understood, yet also not.

The somewhat chaotic plot, piercing their hearts step by step.

So they decided—to watch it once more!

...

While the first batch of viewers were watching ”A Chinese Odyssey.”

The opening day box office for ”Youthful Frenzy” came out!

million!

Although this isn’t the final tally, the number is already astonishing!

”Amazing, truly big production!”

”Incredible! To recoup the cost in just a few days!”

”The movie is great; as long as it has my goddess, it’s a good movie!”

”My male god is the most handsome!”

”Speaking of which, what do you guys think the opening day box office for ’A Chinese Odyssey’ will be?”

”Zero! No, no, no, it should be a negative number—they even have to pay the theaters!”

”Hahaha! That’s something! A movie with a negative box office, that’s breaking a record there.”

The distributors of ’Youthful Frenzy’ had already started celebrating their success!

”Hahaha, fantastic! We’ve made a fortune again!”

”That Chen Feiyang is totally done for!”

”Daring to compete with us in the ring! Scare them to death!”

...

As time passed.

The final box office tally was in!

’Youthful Frenzy’ box office: 190 million! Nearly broke two hundred million! Shocking!

’A Chinese Odyssey’ box office: 43 million! Not even breaking fifty million!

However...

This figure sent shivers down everyone’s spine!

What?

’A Chinese Odyssey’ box office, 43 million!

How is that possible?

Weren’t all their tickets free?

People would only be charged if they watched it a second time!

In such a low number of screenings, such screening rooms, and such terrible time slots, people actually watched it a second time?!

This has got to be a joke!

The official Weibo account of ’Youthful Frenzy’ posted a tweet.

”Some things are better not to deceive oneself.”

Though it wasn’t explicitly stated, everyone understood!

”So, ’A Chinese Odyssey’ is just inflating its own box office!”

”That’s normal; Lu Xiaobu is a notorious spender! He couldn’t save face after all the big talk, so he fluffed it himself!”

”Well done, truly befitting of a notorious spender!”

”...”

At this time.

Quietly, some film reviews for ’A Chinese Odyssey’ started appearing online.

These fell into three categories.

First: It’s good, definitely not trash, a great comedy, lots of laughs, I’d be willing to pay to watch it.

Second: I didn’t get it, but I felt sad, it is a tragedy.

Third: I got it, but I don’t want to say it, I feel like watching it a few more times and really could use a drink!

Of course, there were those who sought attention, who didn’t understand anything and randomly wrote reviews or comments in a nonsensical manner.

But these people were completely slammed by those who actually saw the movie!

Whether people thought ’A Chinese Odyssey’ was a comedy or a tragedy, they all lashed out at these people!

Gradually, these strange reviews began catching the attention of netizens!

”What the heck? Is it a comedy or a tragedy?”

”Can one movie have two completely opposite meanings?”

”What’s this a joke? Could this be some fake reviews by paid commenters?”

”Forget it, it’s free anyway, I’ll go see it for myself tomorrow!”

”...”

It must be said, if it were any other movie, this kind of ambiguous film review would have been harshly criticized!

However, Lu Xiaobu’s strategy of a free screening for ’A Chinese Odyssey’ directly invalidated such thoughts!

Most people had the same idea!

Since it’s free, just go and see for yourself!

Is it a comedy or a tragedy, or are those baffling reviews by those baffling people accurate? You’d know after watching!

Thus, with such a mindset among the general netizens, a large number of viewers began pouring into theaters the next day to watch ’A Chinese Odyssey.’

And the counterattack of ’A Chinese Odyssey’ began at this moment!

A complete, overwhelming counterattack, a counterattack that all film people couldn’t comprehend, started!
