Chapter 457: Slap in the Face

So on this day, [Who is the Ghost] became the first hot search.

"Bai Qiujing Naked"

Compared to the negative reviews of the neighboring "Yunqi", "Who is the Ghost" received positive reviews on the first day, with a score of 9.1.

The 0.9-point difference comes from the negative reviews posted by internet trolls. Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing’s performance in this movie is indeed perfect, and anyone who has watched the film carefully will be unable to help but praise it.

A score of 9.1 is really low for fans of the film, and this movie deserves to be watched by more people. This should become Bai Qiujing's best film in history, and it must break 6 billion at the very least.

"Now I call Bai Qiujing and Shen Zhichu the face-slapping couple. Who would have thought that this 80 million-dollar movie could instantly beat the 300 million-dollar movie next door?"

"Are you sure this movie is good? You didn't get paid, did you? How good can a horror movie made by a comedy team be? Would it make people die of laughter if you told them about it? Look at the box office on the first day, it's not even half of Yunqi's, okay?"

"Answering the above, this time it really worked! It's definitely the best movie I've ever seen. Director Lin exceeded my expectations. He's so awesome! He didn't charge any money. If he had, I'd have no descendants!"

"I watched Who's the Ghost just to kill time, but who could have imagined I'd end up crying? The ending was truly unexpected, with both funny and tearful moments, and it was also terrifying enough that even thinking about it sends chills down my spine."

"I never thought that domestic horror films could be made so well now. I am grateful to the crew for opening the door to domestic horror films."

"I was really slapped in the face. I was still complaining about how bad this movie was yesterday, but who would have thought it would be so exciting today! The script is good, the actors are good, and Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing are such a great couple. Are the Chu and Bai couple really that good? Let's talk about the script. I can't spoil it since the movie is still in theaters, but this is definitely the best script I've ever seen. The original screenwriter, Shen Qing, is awesome! I want to know everything about this screenwriter!"

"Go and see! Everyone, go and see! There's a naked video of Walter White. Just thinking about that body makes my nose bleed."

"The comments said Walter White contributed his upper body, so I have to watch it carefully. For Walter White's beauty, the box office is worth it."

"I'm going to do it again. It doesn't matter if it's nude or not. I just want to continue challenging my courage."

"Is Walter White so open now? He even dares to show his body in front of the audience?"

"Isn't "Who is the Ghost" just a small-budget film? The total investment was 80 million, and no one invested later. How much is left after paying the film's salaries? 20 million? Or 10 million? How good can a movie made with this amount of money be? I seriously suspect the person praising it is a scam."

"Bullshit internet trolls, and a small production? It's full of grand scenes, and the money was spent wisely. It's nothing like the best xianxia film of the year as advertised by [Yunqi]. I vomited my leftover food after watching it. The spiritual energy horse transformation is really something! The special effects are terrible, and the 300 million production was all spent on actors and publicity. Now they're hiring internet trolls to inflate the ratings and give negative reviews to the rival film!"

"I was planning to go see [The Rise of the Clouds] with my girlfriend, but I immediately changed my mind after seeing the comments below the film."

"The guy above, you're right to give up the idea now. Yesterday, I took my girlfriend to see Yunqi and she broke up with me. Then today, I coaxed her to see Who's the Ghost and we reconciled."

"Look at the comments over at Yunqi, okay? They're just one word away, and anyone who sees them will be embarrassed. I feel embarrassed every time I see Lin Qi's face. I used to think she was good-looking and her acting was OK, but who would have thought that face would look so flat on the big screen? Why would I even watch Yunqi? Don't I like Bai Qiujing's abs? Don't I like Shen Zhichu's stunning beauty?"

"Just found out, the special effects in the Yunqi promotional video were plagiarized, damn!"

Twenty-four hours later, the latest feedback on the movies scheduled for screening in cinemas came out based on the data.

On the first day, "The Rise of the Clouds" had the highest box office but the worst reputation.

Although the box office of "Who is the Ghost" was average, it received a lot of praise.

After these favorable reviews were promoted, the tickets for "Who is the Ghost" were sold out the next day, reaching a 90% attendance rate, becoming the highest-attendance movie in recent years, surpassing the same-day movie "Yunqi"

Cinemas are not fools. They have to be realistic and look at the trends. The movies with high attendance rates and many viewers will naturally have higher screening rates.

Another day has passed, and [Who is the Ghost] has directly surpassed [Yunqi]. More people have watched the film, and naturally more people have rated it.

[Who is the Ghost] scored over 9.5 points and the box office exceeded 1 billion, and it has only been two days.

On the contrary, the situation of "The Rise of the Clouds" is not optimistic. Its original score of five points has dropped to four points. It might not have been so bad originally, but who knew that it would run into such an excellent production team as "Who is the Ghost" and naturally it would be compared extremely poorly.

The box office of "Who is the Ghost" was so hot that no one could stop it. At first, the production team and investors of "Yunqi" even hired internet trolls to deliberately give negative reviews and criticize the film, but it was totally useless!
