Director James was also somewhat surprised that such a low-budget film would receive such high praise from the media and film critics.
However, he did not have the same sense of crisis as Covey.
"It's normal that there were fewer negative reviews because fewer people attended their premiere."
“It’s not that there are few negative comments, it’s that there are none,” Covey warned him.
James: "But overall, we won't lose at the box office, and the judges gave our film high praise after watching it last night, so don't worry too much."
Perhaps the other party is indeed more outstanding, but at most they can only take home a newcomer award, not to the point of surpassing them.
Ling Yan thought for a moment and then said.
"After returning to China, we will strengthen our publicity efforts. As for comments and media reports, those can all be settled with money."
Mu Weiwei's movie was something she didn't want to be released more than anyone else.
However, because of Fu Hanzheng, this was something she couldn't stop.
All she can do is make this film a box office hit and prevent any other film from surpassing it.
Kove thought about it. Now that the movie was out, this was all they could do.
A few days later, the Locarno Film Festival announced the films shortlisted for the main competition, including Gu Weiwei's "Half-Awake" and Ling Yan's "The Dream of Immortality 2".
Although the film festival still had a week to go before the final awards were officially announced, Gu Weiwei and her group had to prepare to return to China.
Because tomorrow is the domestic premiere of their film "Half Awake," and as the main creators, they have to attend.
However, while waiting for her flight, Qiu Ling browsed domestic online news and discovered that Mu Weiwei was still being boycotted by the entire nation.
Therefore, her film "Half Awake," which she directed and starred in, was also boycotted by angry citizens.
Moreover, after several days of fermentation, public anger has reached an unprecedented level.
She sighed, feeling a headache coming on. They were returning to China from Switzerland today, and would arrive tomorrow, just in time for the premiere.
Since it has already had a premiere in Switzerland, it will be released in theaters in China shortly after its domestic premiere.
But given the current situation, it doesn't seem like a place where a premiere can be held.
Moreover, if screenings are cancelled, how much box office revenue can the Fu Group's cinemas generate?
Mu Weiwei previously stated on her Weibo that she would give the public an explanation on Monday.
Today is Monday, and she's still in Switzerland with them. There's been no word from her agency.
She wanted to ask her, but saw her get up and make a phone call.
Gu Weiwei took her phone and walked to a quieter spot, asking Qiao Lin, who had just answered the call.
How are your preparations going?
"Don't worry, everything will be resolved when you come back," Qiao Lin said, adding, "But when you return to China, I expect quite a few media outlets will be waiting for you at the airport."
"Understood, we'll be more careful," Gu Weiwei said.
"However, it's a real shame that you didn't personally handle something as important as slapping someone in the face," Qiao Lin said with a smile.
Gu Weiwei chuckled, "Didn't I already call them a long time ago?"
When Li Xin'er went to see her, she knew it wasn't anything good. When she deliberately provoked her, she already knew what Li Xin'er was up to.
Li Xin'er pretended to be a victim to gain sympathy, and after enjoying her moment of glory for a few days, it's time for her to pay the price.
