In fact, before the box office results were released, director Shen Shanchuan was very confident about this project.
As someone who had already earned the title of 'Master of Youth Campus Dramas' several years ago.
Compared to others in this category, it's like 'completely crushing elementary school students'.
So even though his opponent was Xu Lu, the hottest new director in the past two years, Director Shen didn't take him seriously at all.
After all... this is a youth campus drama.
He, Chen Shanchuan, is the king of this field!
If anyone else tries to compete with him in this field, isn't that just asking for trouble? Nobody can do it.
"Although I haven't made a movie for several years, I haven't been idle during this time. The script, which I've been carefully polishing for several years, is bound to shine this time."
It's a pity that the youth campus genre has never really produced any new talent. I hope I can bring some energy to this genre this time!
Director Shen murmured to himself.
He felt that comparing himself to others was no longer something he should care about.
As a 'master,' one should have a broader perspective and look at issues from a different angle...
In fact, not only Director Shen himself, but also people in the industry believe that his film this time should be very exciting.
In private discussions, everyone tends to think that Director Shen is better:
"Director Shen is the master of this type of art. He reached the pinnacle several years ago. No problem."
"Yes, I still remember watching Director Shen's movie a few years ago, I was so moved that I almost cried..."
"In other fields, Director Shen might not be as popular as Director Xu Lu, who has been the most popular director in the last two years."
However, in the youth idol drama genre, I think the power dynamic should be reversed.
"You should know that Director Shen's 'Promise of the Stars' is a script that has been carefully polished over several years."
Three years to forge a sword is already quite remarkable, let alone the fact that this sword has been forged for far more than three years!
...
"No problem. Although Director Xu Lu is also capable, he's definitely messing around this time."
Think about it, who makes a movie with two scripts filmed together, especially one of the same genre?
This reminds me of products on an assembly line, but movies aren't mass-produced; they require dedication.
“I completely agree with that. There are very few directors like Xu Lu who can both direct and act.”
A person's energy is inherently limited; if you want to excel in one area, you'll inevitably have to make trade-offs in another.
"That's right! In my opinion, it's a joke that Daxu Culture is releasing two similar films at the same time."
...
"It's conceivable that someone who has been successful for a long time will inevitably become arrogant, and Xu Lu is no exception."
Think about it, he's been riding high these past two years, never encountering any setbacks. This time, it looks like he's about to face one.
"Yes, making two movies at the same time already shows the director's arrogance."
"It's what people call 'getting carried away,' but to be honest, if it were me, I would get carried away too."
"That's right! But getting carried away will only lead to defeat in this competition."
Keep in mind that his opponent was no ordinary person, but Director Shen, who had once reached the pinnacle of his career…
...
People in another circle, namely the music industry, are also looking forward to Xu Lu's downfall.
"Let the box office figures come out quickly, let's make Xu Lu lose even more miserably!"
"Yeah, this kid has caused trouble for our music industry several times. I really want to beat him up."
"That's right, last time I wanted to get one of my songs on the charts, that kid suddenly popped up."
It completely ruined the buzz surrounding my new song, it almost drove me crazy! I cursed it to flop at the box office!
"Director Shen, you'd better give it your all and teach that kid a lesson..."
...
"Don't panic, everyone. Maybe even Xu himself is panicking now. I think he's definitely doomed this time!"
"Yes, he was so awesome before because he had never met an even more awesome opponent, but this time is different."
Director Shen became a master of youth campus dramas six years ago, and his return this time will only be stronger than before.
"You're right, Xu Lu must be scared out of his wits right now, hahaha."
Let him keep causing trouble for our music industry. This time he got humiliated and attacked us. It feels so good!
"I'm really looking forward to seeing Xu Lu's long face. By the way, why haven't the box office figures come out yet?"
...
"The box office results are in! What do you all think our score was this time?"
At Daxu Culture, a group of people were also waiting for the box office statistics to be completed, and thankfully they were finally released.
Seeing the young man dawdling over the data, Feng Xiaoxia said impatiently:
"Dazhuang, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me what happened. Can't you see everyone's waiting?"
"Yes, Master, please don't glare at me. I'll announce the first day's data right away!"
After being scolded by his master, Dazhuang gave an awkward smile and quickly shouted:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've released two similar films this time. First, some good news: they've taken first and second place at the box office on their opening day..."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that we've taken the top two spots, there's nothing to worry about.
Finally, someone chimed in and asked a question:
"Dazhuang, who is number one and who is number two?"
"Exactly, even though they're all films by our Da Xu, there's a difference in quality, right?"
“I think ‘You Are the Apple of My Eye’ should be number one. I like this movie a little bit more.”
