Chapter 2465: Chapter 44: Explosive Hit! [Saintess of Xuanling vs. Corrosive Moon Demon Lord] _3

It’s absolutely unexpected that this big screen film, which Wang Baosheng completely didn’t think much of, actually exploded in popularity!

With a hundred thousand large crystal screens, it’s playing day and night… yet it still can’t meet the audience’s demand.

The most incredible part is, because there are very few big screen films now, making them high-end luxury consumption, a single viewing ticket for one person averages one Qian Gold, each screening accommodates five hundred viewers.

On the first day of showing, “Xuanling Saintess vs. Corrosive Moon Demon Lord” garnered a box office of five billion Qian Gold, and now after about twenty days of screening, the statistics show the box office has reached sixty-three billion Qian Gold!

According to “industry experts,” this blockbuster could eventually surpass a hundred billion Qian Gold, worth as much as one Immortal Spirit Stone.

“Hmph!” Wang Baosheng’s face showed slight displeasure, “The level of national education in Divine Martial really isn’t sufficient, a film with such exaggerated plot can sell this much.”

Then he started swiping through the box office rankings.

As he operated, the rankings on the crystal screen kept scrolling down, and numerous new data appeared in his view.

“Boss, which film’s box office are you looking for?” Ouyang Nanyan asked, “I remember all this data.”

“Well, a while ago I reviewed a film called ’Opening of God Martial Saint Emperor’s Struggle History,’ its content is positive and uplifting, showcasing the process of God Martial Saint Emperor persevering step by step, it’s a good film.” Wang Baosheng said with a frown, “Hasn’t it been shown yet?”

“Oh, you’re talking about that flop film.” Ouyang Nanyan immediately laughed, “It’s been shown for a while, and it was released at the same time as the Xuanling Saintess film, but ended up getting berated like a dog by viewers, and various cinemas adjusted it lower on their schedules. Hmm, the data is here, premiere thirty-seven thousand Qian Gold, current total sales sixty thousand Qian Gold, according to ’experts,’ the final sales should be around eighty thousand Qian Gold!”

“Ridiculous!” Wang Baosheng absolutely couldn’t believe it, the young man’s handsome face was full of disbelief, “Such a good movie, why only sixty thousand Qian Gold? And that Xuanling Saintess whatever, actually sixty billion Qian Gold? Which cinema adjusted it lower?”

“It was every cinema that adjusted it lower…” Ouyang Nanyan looked at Wang Baosheng strangely, “If it’s not welcomed then the proportion is lowered, reducing the number of screenings, this is normal sales tactics. Boss, are you overreacting a bit?”

Wang Baosheng grunted coldly: “Such a good movie and so few people know how to appreciate it. It seems that the public’s art appreciation level needs to be improved.”

“Boss, I really don’t enjoy hearing that.” Ouyang Nanyan retorted, “Just speaking factually, the film about the Saint Emperor originally wasn’t enjoyable, but if it was from a unique angle maybe it could be interesting. But in the end, how did it turn out, the plot was straightforward, no exciting points, the content was not only cumbersome but also filled with cringe and toxicity. Liyue and I contributed to the premiere… and we ended up crying, crying for our money thrown to the dogs. I’m done with ’art’…”

Wang Baosheng’s face turned crimson, looking at Ouyang Nanyan who seemed about to say something more.

“Wait a minute…” Ouyang Nanyan seemed to realize something, cautiously glancing at Wang Baosheng’s expression, “Boss, don’t tell me that film was… directed by you?”

“Is Mister Shentu so idle?” Wang Baosheng’s gaze flickered, his voice raised several octaves, shouting, “She’s just passed her doctoral exams, and is she satisfied? Everyone knows, the sea of learning is endless, pursuing a doctoral degree is just the start of an academic career. As a young elite of the Shentu Clan, carrying the expectations of the Demon Emperor Old Ancestor, how can she stop here?”

“Just so happens, I have a few projects on hand… very suitable for Mister Shentu’s research direction… I hope she can produce results soon, not saying to win the [Shou Zhe Prize], but at least some major achievements like the [Liyue Prize], and don’t demand her to earn a top ten, but at least a [Youth Progress Award] or similar. With Mister Shentu’s talent, if she spends merely three times the effort on research, this certainly won’t be a problem.”

“Uh…”

Ouyang Nanyan’s mouth twitched, unable to resist feeling sorry for her friend for three breaths.

Since Shentu Shiheyu started with Wang Baosheng as her student, she hasn’t had a peaceful day, constantly urged by him to strive and progress.

Just starting her doctoral studies, and already aiming for a Youth Progress Award? If she wins the Youth Progress Award, will the next wave be a top ten? And after that, possibly the Shou Zhe Prize?

Clearly, her friend’s wish to be a carefree slacker is doomed to be perpetually out of reach.

Of course, she only grumbled inwardly, there’s no way she would stop it.

For one thing, if she blocked it, Baosheng’s attention might very well shift to herself, then she’d be the one suffering, for another, it’s really not Baosheng’s fault for always focusing on Shihe, it’s that girl who truly is an oddity, sometimes even she can’t bear it.

As the younger generation of the Shentu Clan, Shihe being sent to Wang Family School and graduating early from it, naturally indicates her high talent in studies.

Yet she’s somehow a slothful character, during her time in Clan School she would slack if able, during classes she’d be distracted and do other things, coursework was always completed right at the end of self-study periods, never early by a second, and extracurricular tasks she never did, yet her grades were still good, truly angering.
