Chapter 1224: Box Office ReputationTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were a total of three versions of the publicity poster this time.
One was a delicate little princess lying on the city wall and secretly looking at the outside world. Her big sparkling eyes seemed to be exploring the outside world through the poster.
One was a scene of an army in front, with Xia Wanyuan leading the army to fight. Golden armor, war drums, smoke, and a figure standing in the light.
The other was on a hundred-meter jade step. Xia Wanyuan was dressed up magnificently and standing on the hundred-meter jade step. She was looking at the people outside the palace, her eyes filled with dignity and pity.
[The texture and design of this poster are really not bad. I’m suddenly looking forward to it.]!!
[If the posters are not beautiful, then there’s no need for the movie to be released, okay? I’ve been deceived too many times and am temporarily waiting and watching what’s happening. Many movies look beautiful, but in fact, the texture of the content is very bad.]
[Wow, wow, wow. I love it. Xia Wanyuan is so beautiful. Ignoring everything else, based on her looks, I’ll book the movie tickets first.]
Unlike the domestic netizens who were basically looking forward to it, the Internet was basically filled with mockery.
First, there were the clothes for the movie. Chinese culture was incompatible with foreign culture.

The traditional clothes of China were very strange to them and looked old-fashioned.
Another problem was the theme. In the history of world movies, there was really no ancient movie like China that ranked in the top ten of the box office.
[ Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is this a movie that can surpass the box office of “Starry Sky Journey”? Ahahahahaha, I’m laughing my teeth off. How can Xia Wanyuan have the cheek to say such a thing? ]
[ Stop talking. I feel that Xia Wanyuan is teasing me. Only a crazy person would believe Xia Wanyuan. ]
[ The person in front, I understand what you mean. Most Chinese probably have something wrong with their brains, haha. Go to their social platform and take a look. Most of them actually support Xia Wanyuan. It feels like they don’t have brains. ]
The domestic media quickly reported relevant foreign comments.
Seeing the mockery, the domestic netizens were furious.
Some people even bought a few movie tickets repeatedly to help Xia Wanyuan break through the box office.
In the presales worldwide, the proportion of tickets bought in China had reached almost 100%.
This almost meant that the overseas market was blank. Relying on the Chinese market alone, there was not a popular movie.
Hence, although the netizens were very supportive of this movie, in the professional field, everyone basically looked down on this movie.
The movie was about to be released. Xia Wanyuan, who should have begun the global road show, had fallen into a state of seclusion.
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was busy discussing with Wei Jin about merging the Wei family in the north and south.
“Cousin, I’ve basically grasped all the Wei family’s businesses.” Wei Jin placed a stack of documents in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Actually, it was not difficult to take back the Wei family in Beijing. The Wei family in Beijing originally relied on the old lady and Wei Zimu to support them. To put it bluntly, the others were similar to useless people and were not difficult to deal with.
After Wei Jin returned to Beijing, she quickly controlled the Wei family through the various information Wei Zimu had left behind.
The difficult thing now was how to take back the Wei family in Jiangnan.
The alliance between the Wei family and the Lin family in Jiangnan was getting deeper and deeper. After the two families completely fused, the south would become a piece of iron. At that time, it would probably be too late to attack.
After hearing Wei Jin’s analysis, Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. “What looks like the most stable relationship is actually best to collapse. Both families are big families in the south. As long as someone turns around in the middle and arouses the suspicion of both sides, this cooperation will naturally not be stable.”
Wei Jin nodded. “I think so too. Then Cousin, I’ll go to Jiangnan in two days. I still have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and watched Wei Jin leave.
Not long after Wei Jin left, Feng Wuyou came over.
Looking at the luggage in her hand, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. “Are you leaving?”
Feng Wuyou nodded. “Thank you for taking care of me, but I don’t want to trouble you anymore. Besides, I can’t keep running away.”
Her parents’ whereabouts were still unknown. Hiding here alone did not change anything.
Xia Wanyuan did not stop her. After saying a few words to Feng Wuyou, she asked Uncle Wang to send Feng Wuyou away.
In just about two hours, Chu Yi arrived at the manor.
When Uncle Wang brought him in, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered.
“Mrs. Jun.” Chu Yi nodded slightly at Xia Wanyuan.
At that moment, Chu Yi seemed to have released all the aura he had hidden. He was no longer pretending to be elegant. Instead, he was filled with evilness and invasion.
“Young Master Chu, why are you here?”
“Mrs. Jun, you’re a smart person, so I won’t beat around the bush. Is my wife here? I’m sorry, my wife is mischievous and ran away from home. I’m here to pick her up.” Chu Yi’s expression was actually a little soft when he spoke of Feng Wuyou.
For a moment, even Xia Wanyuan could not tell if he was sincere or fake.
“Two hours ago, she was indeed here.”
Chu Yi frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Now, she has probably left China.”
Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Chu Yi hurriedly left. “Thank you, Madam Jun. I’ll come and visit again next time.”
That afternoon, after sending this and that away, Xia Wanyuan felt extremely tired. She took her phone and glanced at it. Chen Yun had sent her more than ten messages.
The first batch of movies that were pre-screened received an unprecedented full score from the audience.
The pre-screening was to randomly choose a few points in the country and invite some film critics to watch in advance. After watching, they would give their opinions. The audience was random and plural.
Hence, the results of the pre-screening could largely represent the reputation and box office of the movie after it was released.
This nearly perfect evaluation caused a considerable commotion in the film industry.
Everyone wanted to increase the screenings, but they were afraid that these film critics would be bribed. After all, Xia Wanyuan was so rich.
Just as the theaters were wavering, the movie was released all over the country in the early morning.
The second day’s reputation exploded on the Internet.
