Just then, the movie screen was showing the passionate scene between the male and female leads.
Yuan Zhinan had discovered his feelings for Jin Die, but at the same time, he suspected she was an Island Country Special Agent, and in a moment of impulse, he slept with her.
It was unclear what Wan Ke’s motivation was, maybe he wanted to draw eyeballs with this scene, so he filmed it in great detail.
Especially the kissing part, where they went for a French kiss, and it was shot up close.
In front of her was the fiery kiss scene; beside her, a man who was a feast for the eyes; and in her heart, love for him so thick it couldn’t be dissolved.
Xia Weibao suddenly leaned forward and kissed his lips.
She had chosen seats in the last row, so the people in front didn’t know about their actions.
Someone sitting next to them did glance over, but because it was too much of a public display of affection, they dared not peek.
On the big screen, passion abounded; behind it, the heat was intense.
After the movie ended, Xia Weibao, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, kept her head down the whole time, too embarrassed to show her face.
It was a two-hour movie, and she watched less than ten minutes of it. She daydreamed about the emperor’s dog by her side for twenty minutes, and for the remaining hour and a half, she was kissing Lu Hualiang...
How freaking embarrassing!
Lu Hualiang walked beside her, looking pleased as punch.
"Wife, let’s continue later," he said.
They switched to another screening room, again the last row, and Lu Hualiang, already eager, took hold of her hand with a meaningful squeeze of her tender palm.
Well, this way of watching movies wasn’t bad; he liked it very much.
They should go on more movie dates in the future.
As the film began and everyone’s attention focused on the big screen, Lu Hualiang had already moved in closer.
She really wanted to smack him dead!
The eventual outcome was as you might guess; they didn’t watch the movie at all...
Compared to earlier when there were a few peeking glances, this time no one bothered them as they got affectionate in the back row.
That’s because everyone’s attention was captivated by the movie.
Not until the movie was over did the two of them walk out from behind the crowd and realize that everyone was very silent.
Not a single person was talking, let alone sharing their thoughts on the movie.
Xia Weibao felt a bit worried about such a reaction.
Could it be that the movie was so uninteresting that nobody wanted to say a word?
But that couldn’t be right; she was very confident about this film. Due to tight schedules, almost all scenes were shot in one take, and even Xu Jiayang was amazed when she was acting intensely against Han Luoqi.
With a nervous heart, she went home without looking at the online comments.
The next afternoon, the box office statistics from yesterday were released.
First announced was the box office for "Republic of China Graceful Hero": 110 million!
To break the hundred million mark on opening day was already an excellent achievement.
Spy films are thrilling, and "Republic of China Graceful Hero," with its cast of stars, was expected to hit the mark.
Inside the Hongtu CEO’s Office, everyone was waiting for the box office number for "Despair."
Perhaps expecting the outcome, everyone unanimously refrained from checking the online response.
Educational films are often too stark in reality; they’re somber with a touch of heartache and lack shocking and thrilling scenes. Few people enjoy such movies, which is why Xu Jiayang predicted the box office to be around 50 million.
Xia Weibao thought that 50 million was the maximum they could hope for.
It was limited by its genre.
However, when the box office figures for "Despair" came out, everyone was stunned, double-checking several times because they couldn’t believe it!
"150... 150 million?!," Leng Yan let out a scream, her voice pitch-shifting through several octaves, gratingly shrill!
