Ye Chen went online and saw the ratings on Douban.
The film’s rating reached as high as 8.8.
It’s safe to say that this rating is the highest among all films released this year.
This year, Hua Country’s films have been lacking, with most of the releases being flops, and it’s been difficult to score even 7 points.
The films scoring above 8 are mostly imported from abroad.
For "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," both the storyline and the actors’ performances, including the special effects, are classics in Hua Country.
Achieving this rating is nothing short of remarkable.
However, just like in the past, the reason for Yu Longjiao’s final cliff jump remains a subject of heated debate.
Even some professional film critics have analyzed it thoroughly.
The thorough analysis even impressed Ye Chen.
Many people even tagged director Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen neither replied nor participated in the discussion.
To be honest, even Ye Chen himself doesn’t know the reason.
Zhou Fa’s acting skills have also become a topic of discussion.
Zhou Fa has always been a controversial point of the film.
Because having an extra play the lead role is rare in the history of Hua Country’s films.
But such an unexpected person ended up creating a miracle.
His acting did not disappoint Ye Chen and slapped those who doubted him.
Now Zhou Fa has become popular, as can be seen from his newly registered Weibo which originally had fewer than a hundred followers, now reaching 880,000.
And this number is rapidly increasing.
In other words, reaching a million is just a matter of time.
Zhou Fa’s Weibo had not been updated, so Ye Chen gave him a call.
"Old Zhou, you should post a Weibo."
Zhou Fa was extremely excited at this moment.
Especially since his performance was recognized by so many people, which he himself had not expected.
Zhou Fa previously only read Weibo but didn’t really know how to use it, so he asked, "Boss, what should I post?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Just post: Thanks for everyone’s support, I will work harder to perform even better roles."
A few minutes later, Zhou Fa’s Weibo was updated.
In an instant, Zhou Fa’s Weibo climbed up to the top ten of the trending list.
Ye Chen also reposted Zhou Fa’s Weibo: "Old Zhou’s performance was amazing, your effort proved you’re a gem, keep it up."
Soon, Zhou Fa’s Weibo rose to the top three on the trending list.
Meanwhile, Liu Hua, through his brilliant performance in the film, allowed everyone to recognize his acting skills anew.
As for Tong Xiaoya, she became the number one topic on Weibo’s hot search list.
Tong Xiaoya posted with the title: "Waking up in the morning, looking at the sunrise, feeling great, another beautiful day."
Followed by a very beautiful photo facing the sunrise.
After all, Tong Xiaoya is a goddess in many people’s hearts, and playing such a challenging role this time around has reignited her popularity since the last incident.
At this moment, the most displeased is Wu Ge, because the artists who left their company have all surged in popularity.
And the film they released simultaneously with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" turned out to be a complete flop.
Moreover, this is just the beginning of their troubles; the company’s artists are frequently demanding transfers, and their destination is all Star Film and Television.
The most frustrating part for him is that he has no way to deal with these issues.
By noon, Ye Chen received more good news.
The overseas sales results for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came in.
As for the ancient oriental culture, many foreigners have always felt it very mysterious.
So as soon as this theme came out, it immediately caught the attention of foreign film fans.
The mysterious oriental kung fu and the impressive special effects immediately thrilled the foreign audience.
While Ye Chen was driving DiDi, Lin Wanrou called.
"What’s up?" Ye Chen asked.
"Young master, the box office statistics from M Country cinemas are out; our film ranks first."
Lin Wanrou’s voice was even a bit excited because such an achievement has never been seen before in Hua Country’s film industry.
"How much?" Ye Chen was not surprised.
After all, whether it’s the film’s oriental theme or Ye Chen’s special effects, such a miracle is not surprising.
Lin Wanrou said excitedly: "Our box office is thirty-eight million, in M Yuan."
This achievement can actually rank in the top ten in the history of M Country’s films.
Ye Chen nodded: "Hmm, the achievement is quite good."
Lin Wanrou was speechless; such an achievement should be considered explosive, how could it be described as just ’quite good’?
"Young master, your performance is too calm."
Ye Chen smiled: "This achievement is merely just passing."
Hearing Ye Chen’s bragging, Lin Wanrou was speechless.
Lin Wanrou continued: "Young master, there’s an interview at Modu TV Station tomorrow, do you want to attend?"
"Alright, I can do that."
Ye Chen chatted with Lin Wanrou for a few more moments before hanging up.
Everything else is secondary; for Ye Chen, driving DiDi is the main job.
During this time, Ye Chen wrote a few more scripts and distributed them to his artists under his wing.
Since he wants to develop in the entertainment industry, Ye Chen must promote his artists, making his company stronger. Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
At this moment, Ye Chen received another call.
The call was from Yang Mimi.
"Ye Chen, I’ve fallen out with my former company, can you take me in?"
It turned out that Yang Mimi also wasn’t very happy with her entertainment company.
Yang Mimi just wanted to act well, but the company kept scheduling her for countless announcements and entertainment programs.
This made it impossible for her to shoot even one film in a year.
Finally, Yang Mimi couldn’t bear it and broke up with the company.
After flying solo, Yang Mimi, who was friends with Tong Xiaoya, came to seek Ye Chen under Tong Xiaoya’s persuasion.
Ye Chen was naturally delighted to hear that Yang Mimi was willing to come.
"Since you want to come, of course, you’re welcome."
With Yang Mimi coming, Ye Chen had more choices; his first thought was to film a TV series.
This time, Ye Chen plans to shoot a series starring Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya.
Ye Chen has already decided that this TV series will be a very popular past-life work "Palace Locking Heart Jade."
This TV series originally created amazing ratings, making the two leading actors extremely popular.
Ye Chen decided to use this series to elevate their popularity to another level.
With these two leading ladies, along with Liu Hua and Zhou Fa, Ye Chen was doing phenomenally in the entertainment industry.
At this point, Ye Chen saw another piece of news.
Lu Xiaohan injured his hand while filming and went to the hospital for emergency treatment.
This news immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.
"Haha, this is hilarious! He went to the hospital just because his hand got hurt."
"Are today’s fresh meat actors really this delicate?"
"If you want to go, you should hurry, or else the injury will heal."
"Sigh, otherwise, we can’t even watch movies now, these fresh actors are too delicate."
What was originally a normal news story suddenly put Lu Xiaohan under fire.
Accusations of being too delicate and acting like a diva were incessant.
Ye Chen saw the news and simply smiled, this had also happened in the past life, and Ye Chen believed it was just the media stirring up trouble.
Going to the hospital also wasn’t like Lu Xiaohan necessarily wanted to go; it was simply the media exaggerating the news.
The entertainment industry is too complex.
