The continuous rise of the box office has influenced many people's perceptions.
Many passersby turned their attention to "I Am Red Riding Hood, I Love the Big Bad Wolf."
What kind of movie is this that has received such explosive acclaim and is raking in profits?
With various curiosities in mind, many who had no intention of watching it before pulled out their wallets to buy a ticket, eager to see what this film was all about.
At the same time, the theaters were quite supportive. Seeing that several films released at the same time couldn't compete with "I Am Red Riding Hood, I Love the Big Bad Wolf," they increased its already high screening rate.
Coupled with Li Hong's previous wave of publicity, it was bound to succeed. Whether through negative or positive fame, the fact remained that it was famous.
In this era where traffic reigns supreme, being well-known is better than being unknown. Even negative fame is much better than before.
Thus, amidst Li Hong's dazzling maneuvers, "I Am Red Riding Hood, I Love the Big Bad Wolf" smoothly climbed to the top of the box office charts, reaching one billion.
The total box office accumulated to an impressive 15.4 billion.
In no time, numerous film critics emerged to analyze the success of this dark horse, "I Am Red Riding Hood, I Love the Big Bad Wolf."
Some claimed it was a groundbreaking work that broke conventions. Others suggested there were hidden agendas at play.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Li Hong and Sweet Potato Films. At that moment, Li Hong was busy preparing for a lively celebration banquet.
With an investment of around ten million, they had struck gold.
"Delighted! Is anyone coming to the Celebration Party? I'm treating for free! @Aunt Zhang @Cool Down @Get Noticed! @Feng Gangpao..."
The latest release from Sweet Potato Films has left these directors so furious that they could almost grind their teeth to dust.
Still hospitalized, Feng Gangpao nearly found himself back in the emergency room once again.
After steadying his mind, Feng Gangpao replied, "You're holding a Celebration Party? Inflated dog! The Box Office is plummeting; let's see how you handle that!"
"Hey, who asked for your opinion! I'm making a fortune anyway! By the way, our film had a total investment of one million!"
Feng Gangpao was momentarily at a loss for words.
One million? What could that amount do?
For his new film's production, just the cost of treating the crew to meals would exceed that sum.
Yet somehow, with just that little money, Sweet Potato Films managed to produce a movie that grossed over a hundred million at the Box Office. How ironic!
Frustrated and feeling suffocated, Feng Gangpao decided to ignore the triumphant Li Hong on Meager and simply turned off his phone.
With no response from Feng Gangpao, Li Hong had no choice but to set aside this unfortunate matter.
Meanwhile, Lu Mao, who was busy preparing for the Celebration Party, rushed over to Li Hong with an excited expression.
"Boss, should we go a bit extravagant? How about a hotel?"
"Go to a damn hotel? Are you paying for it?" Li Hong spat, his saliva landing on Lu Mao's face.
Lu Mao wiped the spit off his face, feeling embarrassed as he asked, "If not the hotel, then where should we go?"
"Hmm..." Li Hong pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Let's go to Water County Eats. It's an international chain; it won't be too embarrassing."
Lu Mao was instantly stunned, feeling as if coming here with Li Hong was nothing short of a joke.
This damn gathering wasn't just a casual get-together for their Sweet Potato Films; it was a Celebration Party for the movie!
"Boss, isn't this a bit inappropriate? We invited quite a few people, and if..." Lu Mao nervously reminded him.
Inviting so many big shots only to take them to eat at Shui County? That was just too much!
Li Hong rolled his eyes and replied irritably, "Do you think I don't want to eat better? The problem is we don't have any money! The box office is the box office, but we haven't seen a dime yet; we literally have nothing."
Lu Mao nodded, his expression serious as he said, "Boss, since we're in such a tight spot, should we retract those invitations? We were already short on cash; saving wherever we can would help."
Li Hong's eyes lit up as he patted Lu Mao on the shoulder, clearly pleased. "Not bad, not bad. That's exactly what I was thinking."
So, Lu Mao hurried off to have a few of the Soul Clan's errand boys go out and retrieve the invitations that had already been sent out.
In a villa area of the capital, Luhan held a gilded red invitation in his hand, feeling as miserable as if he had eaten something foul.
His manager, Lu Mei, frowned and asked, "Are you going to go? Since they are also a film company, we might as well resolve things amicably."
"Go? Hell no!" Luhan cursed under his breath. "They treat me like this and expect me to attend their celebration party? Dream on. Lu Mei, decline it for me, and make sure the tone is firm."
"Oh, okay..." Lu Mei nodded and quickly pulled out her phone to notify Sweet Potato Films.
But before Lu Mei could dial the number, there was a loud banging on the door, as if it had been struck by a hammer.
Luhan's forehead darkened. "What the hell? Can't you see the doorbell next to you? Knock knock knock, and you're going to break my door..."
Bang!
A deafening crash echoed, and Luhan froze in shock.
Behind the doorframe stood Soul Sphere, pale-faced and looking terrified.
"I didn't do it! It wasn't me!"
This guy again!
Luhan's expression darkened as he maliciously remarked, "If it wasn't you, then did it just fall down by itself?"
Soul Sphere beamed with delight, as if he had grasped a lifeline. "That's right! You're so smart! Your door just fell down by itself, I swear I didn't touch it!"
Luhan looked extremely displeased. Wasn't this a bit too thick-skinned? If he admitted to it, Luhan would only consider himself unlucky and wouldn't bother Soul Sphere.
However, Soul Sphere's stubborn denial truly ignited Luhan's fury.
In a few strides, Luhan reached the fallen door, stomped on it a couple of times, and coldly said, "Do you know how much I paid for this door? Even if a hundred strong men kicked it, they wouldn't be able to break it..."
Suddenly, there was a loud crash!
Luhan froze in disbelief as he looked down at his feet.
His manager, Lu Mei, had already covered her face with her hands, unable to bear the sight.
The door that lay on the ground now had a large hole kicked into it by Luhan, revealing the floor tiles beneath.
"…"
Faced with Soul Sphere's astonished expression as if he couldn't believe Luhan could kick like that, Luhan just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
How could he recover from this embarrassment?
He had just wanted to boast about the door's immense value, but then this happened.
This kind of ridiculous door could very well fall off on its own!
"Cough, cough... I must have misunderstood you. It probably just fell off by itself," Luhan said with a laugh.
Soul Sphere, however, ignored this and walked into the room, spreading his hands and expressionless, said, "Invitation!"
"What Invitation?" Luhan was completely baffled.
Soul Sphere explained again, "It's the Invitation for Sweet Potato Films' Celebration Party. Hand it over!"
"Why should I give it to you?" Luhan was confused; what kind of trick was this?
"Because you're so ugly that it would ruin the appetite of the other guests, so we at Sweet Potato Films have decided to revoke this Invitation!" Soul Sphere said seriously.
