Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?
Chapter 753: Favored
Zheng Weiwei just paused slightly and then continued: "The two female leads were one of the previously rejected plans. Later during filming, we thought this idea was pretty good, so we brought it back."
Some critics also asked a few questions.
Sheng Tang, Wen Yu, and William also answered a few questions.
When it was the fans’ turn to speak, the questions became much simpler.
"Tangtang, are you a professional model?" the female fan naturally and kindly addressed Sheng Tang without using her full name. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Nowadays, everyone on Weibo calls her Tangtang or Shengsheng.
"I’m not, I’m not tall enough," Sheng Tang responded.
Her playful answer caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.
Then another fan asked a question.
They were extremely curious about Sheng Tang and Zhao Beibei.
"Shengsheng, does William like Zhao Beibei a lot? Is that what the script says? I see sparks between them."
Everyone laughed.
Sheng Tang said, "He definitely likes her, just not to the point of love."
The fan seemed a bit disappointed.
Everyone took turns asking questions one by one. Sheng Tang received the most questions, followed by William.
Even though Wen Yu was also quite famous, she was in an awkward position now because her fans were more interested in Sheng Tang and William.
Her own fans felt that Wen Yu’s performance in this movie was too average.
Maybe they hadn’t felt her acting was so mediocre before because there was no comparison. But compared to Sheng Tang, Wen Yu’s performance seemed quite perfunctory.
Fans wouldn’t say her acting was bad, only that she didn’t give her all and wasn’t fully into the role.
After the premiere ended, everyone went their separate ways.
Sheng Tang went to ask Zheng Weiwei for a leave: "My boyfriend is hospitalized, I need to go see him right away."
Zheng Weiwei had put in a lot of effort for this promotion. They had a variety show shoot tomorrow at the same location, and all the main cast members had to attend to promote the movie.
This variety show was currently very popular in the market and was set to start filming the day after tomorrow.
Sheng Tang couldn’t leave right away; she had to discuss with Zheng Weiwei and ensure she would be back by the next evening.
Zheng Weiwei was very concerned: "Is everything okay?"
"It shouldn’t be anything serious."
"Are there still flights available? If not, I’ll arrange for someone to drive you there on the highway," Zheng Weiwei said.
Sheng Tang said, "There’s a flight in two hours, I need to hurry. Sister Zheng, I’ll definitely be back by tomorrow night."
"Well, see how it goes. If anything happens, I’ll discuss with the director’s team about reshooting your scenes later," Zheng Weiwei said considerately.
Sheng Tang thanked her and left hurriedly.
She was anxious and didn’t pay attention to what the critics or fans were saying about the movie.
Later that day, the first review came out: The best fashion workplace film in the history of Chinese cinema, with box office predictions placing it in the top three for the year.
The critic said: "The film is a workplace contest within the fashion industry, with a complete and tense story, depicting the intrigues of the workplace very thoroughly, never treating the audience as fools, it’s a brilliant battle of wits."
The review also mentioned, "The fashion elements are rich, combining current trends. Even the supporting roles were performed professionally. Although the female lead Sheng Tang is not a professional model, her every move exudes a professional aura, no less than that of a supermodel."
The review added, "This summer’s box office was collectively disastrous, with ’Invincible Life’ topping the summer box office at 1 billion, lower than the same period last year.
The poor performance of the summer box office suggests that the National Day box office might see a big hit, following market patterns, with audiences eagerly needing a good movie to wash away the coldness of the summer box office.
This movie comes just at the right moment, with potential for high box office returns."
