Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?

Sheng Tang returned her mom’s call.

"I’ve been running the publicity campaign for a month and a half, so tired every day, never got to rest. After coming back, I just slept in the apartment," Sheng Tang explained.

Her mom was very happy.

"It’s okay, you have a good rest. Do you want to come home? Mom will make you something delicious," her mom said over the phone.

Sheng Tang: "I’ll see how it goes. If there’s nothing major, I’ll go back tomorrow."

After hanging up her mom’s call, Sheng Tang called Ke Fei and Zheng Weiwei back separately.

Ke Fei was in a good mood too.

"The movie has great reviews; if you check online, it’s sparked a huge discussion, even more than ’The Climb’ did," Ke Fei said.

Sheng Tang: "I’ll check it out later."

"President Zheng said if the box office exceeds one billion, there will be a banquet, and you have to attend," Ke Fei said.

Sheng Tang agreed, "I’ll make time for it." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Zheng Weiwei, on the other hand, had probably been on the phone all day. When Sheng Tang called her, her voice was a bit hoarse.

"The first day’s box office is very promising," Zheng Weiwei told Sheng Tang, "I’m calling because there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"Let’s talk when the movie’s box office passes one billion," Zheng Weiwei left some suspense.

Sheng Tang thought it must be something good.

"By the way, our statisticians have completed the results. For ’Who’s Afraid of the Workplace,’ sixty percent of the audience came for me, and the remaining forty percent came for you," Zheng Weiwei laughed, "You’ve made a significant contribution to this movie."

Sheng Tang thanked her without being modest.

"Our market monitors also provided feedback. Most of the audience is talking about your character, the remaining twenty percent are talking about William’s character," Zheng Weiwei added.

That is to say, Sheng Tang’s character once again overshadowed the others, becoming the biggest highlight of the film.

The audience who watched the movie really liked Zhao Beibei.

Zhao Beibei is very cunning; once you get into her, you find her dashing and heroic.

To be fair, the other female lead, Qi Qi, was more charming.

Moviegoers aren’t children; Zhao Beibei’s reckless persona might not be very likable; on the contrary, Qi Qi’s shrewdness and the subtle skills revealed in her calmness made her more appealing.

Unfortunately, Wen Yu’s portrayal of Qi Qi was too ordinary, while Sheng Tang brought Zhao Beibei’s recklessness and cunning to life.

Moreover, Zhao Beibei was prettier, and her scenes with the male lead William captivated the audience more.

"We had repeated discussions that if you played Qi Qi, then Qi Qi would definitely be the biggest highlight of the movie. The character of Qi Qi is just too good, but Wen Yu couldn’t pull it off," Zheng Weiwei said, "Sheng Tang, you have great acting skills. As long as you don’t mess things up, you have a bright future ahead."

Sheng Tang laughed.

Indeed, when stars reach a certain level, accolades and money can no longer satisfy them, and they seek greater thrills, which might lead them to self-destruct.

Zheng Weiwei thought Sheng Tang’s journey hadn’t been easy, so she should cherish her current opportunities, just a kind reminder, not out of concern.

After hanging up with Zheng Weiwei, Sheng Tang felt great.

She returned to the dining table to have dinner with Ai’ai.

After dinner, Gu Jiahui came back from the company.

As soon as he got back, he reached out and patted Sheng Tang’s head, like petting a cat.

"Good performance," he said, "I saw the trailer, very intriguing."

Ai’ai laughed from the side, "President Gu, you watch romance movies too?"

"’Who’s Afraid of the Workplace’ is not a romance movie. It’s more of a female-oriented workplace film. As long as the plot isn’t stupid, men like it too," Gu Jiahui said, "Let’s go watch the midnight screening tonight."
