Huayu is here for you

Lin Yu and everyone present were deeply shocked by Wan Qian's acting skills. It was truly more shocking to see Wan Qian face-to-face with tears welling up in her eyes but unable to shed them than to see her on screen.

However, filming was still ongoing, and Lin Yu couldn't just interrupt the shoot to praise the young lady; he wasn't that foolish! Besides, the young lady was clearly immersed in her role, so Lin Yu naturally wanted to seize such a good opportunity.

So Lin Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "Shed tears!"

Less than a second after Lin Yu finished speaking, the tears that had been building up in Wan Qian's eyes fell like pearls from a broken string. Against the backdrop of her tears, her lines seemed to be elevated, becoming even more poignant and moving…

"You're right not to believe me, because I'm a liar..."

"The only wrong thing I ever did in my life was lying to you, but..."

"Cut! Passed! Wan Qian! Well done!" Lin Yu gave Wan Qian a thumbs up after calling "cut".

Everyone present applauded to congratulate Wan Qian. It seems that Wan Qian's performance not only won over Lin Yu, but also everyone present.

However, Miss Wan Qian was a little overwhelmed and tears kept streaming down her face. As time went by, she not only didn't get better, but she couldn't stop crying and squatted down on the ground.

Lin Yu was somewhat taken aback by the scene, as it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. However, after regaining his composure, Lin Yu arranged for everyone to do other things first, leaving the space to Wan Qian.

Ten minutes later…

"Are you feeling better?" Lin Yu kindly handed the young lady a tissue.

"Thank you..." Wan Qian took Lin Yu's tissue and wiped her tears, but she still couldn't stop her trembling shoulders.

Looking at the young woman in front of him who was still sobbing, Lin Yu felt helpless. He had originally planned to have Wang Baoqiang, the honest young man, comfort Wan Qian, but to his surprise, Wang Baoqiang refused to come over no matter what. Meanwhile, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were either looking up at the roof or counting ants, showing no respect for Lin Yu, the director. So, Lin Yu had no choice but to come himself.

But honestly, Lin Yu really doesn't know how to comfort women!

So... seeing the girl who just wouldn't stop talking, all he could do was hand her tissues one after another, and he had absolutely no idea what else to do!

About ten minutes later, the young woman, whether she had cried enough or saw Lin Yu's embarrassment, finally stopped crying.

Lin Yu was very surprised to see this. Where did this girl get so many tears? It really is true that women are made of water.

"Are you alright now?"

Wan Qian couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Lin Yu's repeated, utterly clueless remarks. "A true, unadulterated straight man!" she thought.

"You laughed? Hehe... If you laughed, then everything must be alright. Let's go, everyone's waiting for you to serve dinner. If you, the star of the day, don't come out, everyone'll feel awkward touching their chopsticks." Lin Yu stood up and smiled.

Wan Qian rolled her eyes at Lin Yu, then got up and walked out of the house, leaving Lin Yu standing there dumbfounded, his thoughts wandering aimlessly.

"What the hell?" Lin Yu shouted in his mind:

While Lin Yu was focused on filming "Lost in Thailand," the outside world briefly mentioned the news of his new movie, because Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was about to be released, and now the promotional posters for "Hero" are everywhere. Mentioning Lin Yu already showed that they were paying special attention to him.

At this moment, Lin Yu was also pondering a question: he was starting to desire a box office champion for the year.

He certainly wouldn't have fantasized about the 02 box office champion, but he did have some ideas about the 03 box office champion. Lin Yu remembered that the 03 box office champion was Feng Xiaogang's "Cellphone," which grossed over 03 million yuan. Moreover, there weren't many outstanding films during the Spring Festival season in 2. Furthermore, Lin Yu wanted to release the film in February, right after the Lunar New Year, so the only competitor at the same time would be "Cat and Mouse."

The movie "Cat and Mouse" stars Andy Lau, Cecilia Cheung, and Li Bingbing. It did fairly well at the box office, earning over 20 million yuan in mainland China. However, it also had a lot of flaws, not to mention the storyline itself, which was simply a complete mess!

Lin Yu wondered if it would be better to release "Lost on Journey" a week before "Cat and Mouse." In Lin Yu's opinion, aside from the lower star power and budget of "Cat and Mouse," "Lost on Journey" was far superior in every other aspect. Not to mention, it could have capitalized on the Spring Festival travel rush. He knew that if "Lost on Journey" had been released at a better time and with better promotion, it could have grossed over 100 million yuan. Even if it was released six or seven years earlier, they could just cut the box office by half! That would still be 50 million yuan! Hmm! There was a chance!

So, if audiences watch "Lost in Thailand" first and then "Cat and Mouse," won't their viewing experience be even worse? Add to that Andy Lau's reputation as box office poison...

There's definitely a good chance! As for the release date, he doesn't need to worry about it at all. China Film Group is the major investor, so how could they let their own film suffer a loss? Moreover, with the help of China Film Group, "Lost on Journey" can definitely be released in Hong Kong, unlike the movie "Nightclub". During the filming of "Lost on Journey", Lin Yu took the time to sell all of its copyrights to China Film Group.

China Film Group went even further, transferring two million yuan to Lin Yu's account in advance, along with the box office revenue share from "Nightclub," under the guise of "rounding up"!

After taxes, Lin Yu's box office share should be around one million yuan. The two million yuan given by China Film Group is equivalent to Lin Yu receiving the box office share of two "Nightclub" films.

Lin Yu didn't really consider whether he made a profit or a loss. He agreed without hesitation. As for whether China Film Group would take "Nightclub" to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or even sell it overseas, that was none of Lin Yu's concern.

Because right now, he's holding two tickets to the premiere of "Hero" and complaining about them!

"What is this?! So stingy, only two?"

"Why didn't you give me a ticket? Even a ticket comes in pairs."

"I'd rather have just one, then I wouldn't have to worry about who to go with or whether to use one and throw it away!"

While Lin Yu was focused on complaining about the tickets, he didn't notice that there was someone standing not far behind him. After hearing Lin Yu's complaints, this person didn't greet Lin Yu but instead tiptoed away!

"Hey! Wan Qian, Director Lin seems to want to see you. He probably wants to invite you to a movie. I saw two movie tickets in his hand."

Wan Qian, who had finished filming and was packing her luggage, looked up slightly at the person who had entered after hearing the voice...
