Chapter 162 - 162. Finally released (1/2)
Chapter 162. Finally released
{This movie brings back the realism in the romance genre. Director Ying Yue pitches the story well, and Xin Ren always manages to impress us with his performance as an angst failed singer.}
-A critic from Movie buzz.
{I have gone to the theatre with many expectations on my mind, and the movie exceeded my expectations completely. It was a pure love story unlike the Idol dramas these days. You will surely not waste your time watching it.}
-A reporter from E-media.
{A pure love story filled with heartbreaks and a lot of character development for the leads. It transitions their life well and show how fame comes with a lot of pressure. Both of the leads were great in their roles, especially Xiao Rin as the simple innocent girl who believes in love.}
-An old critic from Showbuzz.
{Ah, I can't stop gushing over the character portrayed by Xin Ren. The loneliness in his eyes was well apparent and his whole body language was of a broken man. Xiao Rin was great as the female lead and was perfect for it, but I specially liked the unknown actors in the movie, they brought a sense of freshness to the cast.}
-A female reporter who is a fan of Ren.
{Heartbreaking, depressing and pure. These are the words I would describe the movie with. It's been a long time since I liked a romance and it being a musical drama was the greatest dessert in this dish. The songs were great and they were portraying the emotions of the characters. Overall, a must watch!!!}
-The CEO of C4 news.
”We can't get better reviews than this.”
An employee from Arc production said as she exclaimed in joy.
”Yes, it was good that we invited many critics and reporters. Thanks to that, word of mouth is spreading quickly.”
CEO Wang replied as he brushed his hair to the side. He was really happy by the reviews «A born star» has gotten.
”Yes, word of mouth is spreading like fire. The hype around it was magnominous to begin with. Because of the reviews, more people are pre booking the tickets.”
”The album sells is also expected to go up. I bet the songs would overtake the first position in the music charts.”
”Yes, 'Are you listening?' and 'With you' are already in top 5 in the monthly music charts. It can't be more better.”
All the employees in the room were in great mood, it was because of the stats on their screen.
More than 2 million people have pre booked the tickets and the sales of the album has already surpassed 100,000, giving it the silver record rank.
”Marketing is the key!! Tell the marketing team to push all the advertis.e.m.e.nts on TV, billboards and everywhere. We can't mess this up.”
”Don't worry, CEO!! We will surely surpass the break-even mark soon and the movie will surely become a blockbuster.”
”Yes, I was there in the theatre on its premiere. The ending was heartbreaking.”
”We can't slack just because of that. «Vagabond» will also be releasing at the same time. It's budget is bigger than us.”
CEO Wang said.
”«Vagabond» is average from the initial reviews, not many critics liked it. It was rather bland from their reviews.”
”We can't be lazy because of that. No one knows which movie the audience would like. It is always unpredictable.”
Although, reviews from critics matter. There are times where a low reviewed movie has gotten good box office collection.
That's why, box office collections are always unpredictable and no one knows which movie the audience will like.
”What is our goal for the movie.”
A slightly plump employee asked.
”It's 100 million.”
”100 million RMB?”
”No, 100 million USD.”
”I think it would be hard to earn that much for the total collections.”
”I am not talking about the total collections.”
CEO Wang suddenly said with a smirk on his face.
”Huh? Then?”
”I mean for the first week. We will get 100 million USD for the first week. That's our goal!!”
