That evening, Yun Shudai looked at the online comments and the box office figures for "Demon God," and her face lit up with a smile.
An'an chimed in, "In my experience, a movie that's only been out for a few days and already has such a huge box office, and it's only going up, with theaters packed every day, will definitely reach over 2 billion at the box office."
Yun Shudai smiled and said, "Yes, that should be about right. You two keep an eye on things these next couple of days and work on it."
Sweetie said from the side, "Don't worry, Sister Shushu, I've been refreshing the page. There are a lot of messages in the fan group and on Weibo, asking if the illustrations for 'Luoshanxing' and 'Demon God' are Sister Shushu's. Some people are also asking what books we should reply to."
Yun Shudai thought for a moment and shook her head: "We've been too high-profile lately, so it's better to keep a low profile. Don't expose us ourselves. Let them find out on their own. If they find out, they find out; if they don't, then so be it."
An'an, well aware of the murky atmosphere here, nodded: "Yes, Sister Yao said today that the control of public opinion shouldn't be too obvious, just watch the trend. I estimate it won't stay hot for long, because the day after tomorrow is Jiang Yi and Shen Jimeng's wedding, and many media outlets have already gone there."
Numerous videos of wedding venues have also surfaced today.
"They even hired reporters?"
"Yes, otherwise how can we promote his movie?"
"Sister Shushu, are you inviting the media to your wedding with Mr. Bai?"
Yun Shudai shook her head: "No, but we'll have the wedding company record it. The company can have the public relations department film it so that it can be used when it's made public later."
An'an felt it was a pity. Given how much Mr. Bai valued Sister Shushu, this wedding must have been extraordinary. If it had been posted online, it would have definitely gone viral.
The group was excited about the matter and discussed it for a while before An'an and Tiantian went back to sleep.
Yun Shudai hadn't forgotten about He Wan.
I sent her a message on my phone, saying that I was going to go to the girl's village today to inquire about her.
Normally, if there were any news, Lao He would have shared it with her long ago.
Old He, on the other hand, was currently angry with the people at the educated youth settlement.
What they inquired about today was even worse than what Duan Xiaoxi had described.
Zhang Deping looked at the thatched hut where Duan Xiaoxi slept. The whole place was more like a place to sleep than a proper hut.
Lima's blankets were stiffer than canvas, and the thatched hut was stuffed with straw for warmth.
At first, they secretly asked the elderly people in the village for information.
I only asked one question, but they started talking at length about it.
The first person said, "Oh dear, the eldest daughter of the Duan family, she's run away. Good thing she's run away, but don't come back. It would be better if she had run away."
The second old lady said something even more serious: "Which family in our village doesn't value boys? But they don't treat girls like that. They're even more ruthless than the landlords in our village before. They treat their daughters like enemies, not their daughters."
Everyone in our village knows who that old cripple is. He beat his last wife to death, and nobody in the surrounding villages dares to marry their daughter to him.
Duan Er refused to treat Da Niu as his daughter.
How could you be so heartless?
The third person said, "His eldest daughter is as skinny as a monkey, and she has difficulty giving birth. Only the old cripple can have her."
Do you really think that old cripple wants her as his wife? That man has a problem with his head. He can't feel right if he doesn't beat someone every day. His two children are beaten by him all the time.
His mother couldn't bear to part with her grandson, so she moved with her two children to a dilapidated thatched hut at the end of the village, just to keep an eye on him.
He'd better bring back another person for him to beat up.
The fourth person said, "Comrade, you don't seem like bad people. If you know where Da Niu is, tell him not to come back. After all, she's not his biological daughter..."
Very few people in the village know about this. I overheard it by chance years ago, so don't bother asking around. If Duan Er finds out, he'll definitely come after you demanding the man back.
Their family is notoriously unreasonable in our village.
