When Sheng Tang saw the total box office on the first day was 5.125 million, her whole body was stunned.

According to their estimate, it would be good enough if the total box office on the first day exceeded two million, and three million would definitely mean profit.

Unexpectedly, it doubled their expectation.

This couldn’t compare to the first-day box office of major productions, which hits over a hundred million, but for their small production, having such box office numbers was already a miracle.

Sheng Tang rubbed her eyes, fearing she had misread.

In the past life, this movie did not make any profit in the end, but now...

Profit was guaranteed, it was just a matter of how much, there would definitely be earnings.

Sheng Tang let out a big sigh of relief.

Gu Jiahui added, "Check out Weibo, there are many comments."

Sheng Tang’s sleepiness vanished.

She, Gu Jiahui, and Cheng Lichuan sat on the couch in the living room, all began browsing Weibo.

"One of the best movies of the year. Every time it gets to a very heavy scene, the director covers it with light-hearted music. Huang Gen Sheng and the village chief were hilarious, had me laughing so hard."

"It wasn’t until the end that I realized Li Lan was responsible for her sister’s death. But Li Lan didn’t kill her after her sister’s high school exams, instead, she got into university on her merit before her sister’s exams. She’s definitely a villain with some redeeming qualities."

Cheng Lichuan, seeing these, felt a strong sense of anticipation: "Is it really that good? I think it’s pretty good, I want to watch it."

"The finished film is indeed good," Gu Jiahui said, "Wang Sheng was very bold. The entire movie tells a tragic story, but the color tones he used were very vibrant, bringing out the simplicity and sunlight of the late 1970s countryside.

And every time there’s a very tragic scene, he insists on using light-hearted music. The dialogues between the male lead and his father are seriously funny, causing many laughs."

Cheng Lichuan felt even more excited by his words.

"Let’s go, let’s watch the midnight show, there’s a cinema downstairs." Cheng Lichuan said.

Sheng Tang: "..."

She had already watched the movie ten times during its promotion, she didn’t want to watch it again.

"Brother, you two go ahead." Sheng Tang said, "I want to rest and browse Weibo."

"Together, let’s go together." Cheng Lichuan said.

Gu Jiahui also said, "Come on, let’s watch it."

Sheng Tang had no choice but to accompany them to the cinema downstairs to watch it again.

Today wasn’t a weekend, yet there were more than a dozen viewers for the midnight show, Sheng Tang was surprised.

After watching for a few minutes, Sheng Tang still wanted to browse Weibo, so she said to Gu Jiahui: "I’ll move to the last row, so using my phone won’t affect other viewers."

The last row was empty.

Gu Jiahui agreed.

He stood up and moved to the last row with Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang: "..."

Cheng Lichuan, thoughtfully not wanting to be a third wheel, couldn’t help but smile and continued to watch the movie, soon being amused by the village chief’s appearance.

Laughs erupted in the cinema.

Sheng Tang saw many Weibo posts about the movie.

"I think the two sisters look really alike, where did the director find the actors, are they twins? But the younger sister acted better."

A comment replied below: "It’s the same actor."

"No way?"

"It’s indeed the same actor, named Sheng Tang, check the cast list."

"Really the same actor! I also thought it was twins when I was in the cinema, the difference is huge, the elder sister, the younger sister, and the darkened younger sister, they are practically three different people.

Even just from one glance, you can tell if it’s the elder sister, the younger sister, or the darkened younger sister, the distinctions are very clear. This actor is great, will walk the flower path in the future!"

Seeing this, Sheng Tang knew her acting skills were recognized by the audience, feeling a bit warm inside.

Other comments were all saying the movie was remarkable.

"A rare quality piece, has a theme centered around high school exams; it has romance, the love story between Huang Gen Sheng and Li Hong is so touching, filmed beautifully;

it also explores human nature, the younger sister wanting to return to her previous life, I can totally understand, she couldn’t take the exams while the elder sister had the chance but didn’t cherish it, I can also understand the younger sister’s actions, am I twisted in my views?"

"It should have been purely tragic, why did I laugh uncontrollably? But then cried like crazy later, it’s unbelievable."

Comments were overwhelmingly positive for this movie.
