This is the large group of actors from "Ghost Trail". All the actors who participated in "Ghost Trail" are here. This seemingly unintentional remark made by this person caused an instant silence.
The staff member who posted this message obviously realized that the occasion was inappropriate and quickly retracted the message.
But now is the time when everyone is waiting to know the box office data, so even though it's past 1 a.m., there are still many people online, and naturally they all saw this message.
It has to be said that this message resonated with everyone, but because Mingqian, her agent, and assistant were also in the group, everyone could only remain silent.
They're just waiting for someone to break the awkward silence.
Finally, Director Mo stepped in to defuse the situation: "It's quite late, everyone should go to sleep. The premiere is just our first battle; there's still a week to go! When the data is tallied, we'll see how we did!"
"Okay, Director Mo, goodnight!"
With Director Mo's offer, everyone readily accepted it, sending goodnight emojis before turning off their phones and going to sleep, pretending nothing had happened.
The news spread the next morning that "Ghost" had grossed 300 million yuan at its premiere.
At the same time, many people emerged who were discussing the plot.
Some observant viewers even uncovered three possible endings.
The first possible ending: Everything before was Du Xiao's fantasy, including Jing Sheng's face that appeared in the mirror at the end. It was because Du Xiao had not yet stepped out of his fantasy; he was still deeply trapped in it and had not come out.
The second ending: All of this stems from Jiang Qing's imagination. Since the footage never shows Jiang Qing dying, no one can prove that Jiang Qing's consciousness has completely transformed into "Jing Sheng's." These events might also be Jiang Qing's fantasies, designed solely to kill Jing Sheng. This would more reasonably explain why Du Xiao plunged the scalpel into "Jing Sheng's" heart. It's because Jiang Qing wanted to kill "Jing Sheng," but felt he couldn't, so he imagined Du Xiao killing "Jing Sheng."
However, it was clearly a failure in the end, because "Jing Sheng" appeared in the final mirror.
This also aligns with the hidden rule that "Jiang Qing cannot kill Jing Sheng".
The third ending: These events did indeed happen. Jiang Qing did indeed fantasize about killing "Jing Sheng," only to be killed in return. Du Xiao, seeking revenge, killed Jiang Qing, but afterward, Du Xiao also began to have delusions. Wanting to escape his responsibility, he began to imagine that "Jing Sheng" had killed Jiang Qing. However, when he awoke, he truly saw a ghost. Jing Sheng had actually become a ghost and come to seek revenge.
There are three possible outcomes, with many different opinions and no one able to convince anyone else.
As a result, the discussion surrounding "Ghost" skyrocketed.
If "The Chase" had a strong opening, then declined later, and only managed to recover its box office by creating a romantic pairing between the lead actors, then "Ghost" saw its box office numbers climb steadily from its premiere, with daily figures increasing.
Because Yin Chengjue only said that the first ticket on the premiere day was free, and that even if you had your ID card, you couldn't get a free ticket after that, people who wanted to see the movie would have to pay for their own tickets.
As a result, a saying gradually began to circulate on Weibo: "There was once a free movie ticket available, but I didn't pay attention until the free period ended, and then I regretted it."
Viewer 9V: I give the new drama "Ghost" a five-star rating. The level of horror depends on the viewer's own tolerance, because all the horror elements in this film are embodied in the male lead, Jing Sheng. As the only ghost in "Ghost," he bears all the horror alone. So, if you find Jing Sheng scary, then the film is scary; if you think he's handsome, then the film isn't scary.
Five stars for brainpower. I really want the "Ghost" production team to compensate me for my brain cells.
Five stars for the richness of the plot. "Ghost" is truly high-energy from beginning to end, with no dull moments. Two hours is too short. The content needs to be analyzed with a microscope, so I suggest buying several tickets. If you don't understand it the first time, you can watch it several times.
I'd give the actors' performances three stars. Perhaps it's because the plot was quite rich, which raised my expectations. I felt the actors' performances weren't quite up to par. To be honest, the lead actor, Rong Yu, was less terrifying due to his appearance. People who are into good looks might even find him exciting (don't ask me why I think this, because that's just how I am...).
Of the two supporting male characters, Du Xiao is played by Wei Hai. Wei Hai has been in the industry for quite some time, and his acting skills are widely recognized. Moreover, this role is very suitable for him. He seems eccentric and has a sinister air about him. His character background is also well-developed, and he can rival the male lead, Jing Sheng.
Compared to the first two actresses, Jiang Qing's performance seemed somewhat lacking in impact. Judging from her screen time, Jiang Qing had a lot of scenes and lines, but Ming Qian's performance was completely monotonous, making me lose immersion in the story every minute.
I took a look at the other supporting actors and found that most of them are artists from Huansheng Entertainment. It feels like this movie is basically dominated by artists from Huansheng Entertainment. There are also a few young men who are quite good-looking. I just don't know if they have any Weibo accounts I can follow.

Comments section:
Comment 1: Ninth Master is recommending a new drama! Another new drama to watch! But... Ninth Master, are you serious about the last few sentences? Aren't you afraid of getting your account banned? The previous Meow Master got his account banned for "unreasonable" drama reviews.
Comment 2: I've been really angry about what happened with Miaoye for days. Miaoye is just watching and recommending shows. If he likes something, he says he likes it; if he doesn't, he says he doesn't. So what? To each their own. Can't people dislike something? Some brainless fans are chasing stars too fast and have lost their minds.
Comment 3: Hahaha, what the hell?! They were chasing after it so fast they lost their minds! I can picture it right there in my head, hahaha!
Comment 4: Ninth Master, most of the outspoken drama critics have been reported, so now we can only find good dramas through your channel. Please, have mercy on yourself! Stop testing your account's ability to withstand reports!
Comment 5: Haha, the plea upstairs is so humble, but I bet those fans are already on their way, right?
Comment 6: Haha, this is such an obvious attempt to promote one while putting down another. Can Rong Yu's fans use their brains and wrap their fake facades up a little tighter? Can't you stand up without riding on the coattails of other celebrities? Are Rong Yu's fans collectively disabled and unable to walk independently?
Comment 7: No way, no way, does anyone really think this is just a simple drama review blog? That's hilarious, are all trolls this low-brow these days?
Comment 8: Tsk tsk tsk, look, someone's fan army has arrived. The fans' amazing thought process—if you criticize me, then you must be a fan of our rival, or a professional hater, there's no other choice! I just don't understand, does that mean only your rival and professional haters have the right to criticize your idol? Are we, who simply don't like him, not qualified?
Comment 7 replying to Comment 8: No one will be left out in the next round! Anyone speaking up next will either be from the opposing team or a troll!
Comment 8: ...
Other comments also tacitly turned into dots, and for a moment I didn't know how to respond to this brainwashed thought process.
Besides Guanguanjujiu, several other drama review blogs have also posted comments, which are generally moderate, with both praise and criticism. Among them, the question asked most by the drama review blogs is: who is the author of this book, "Ghost Trail"?
If we disregard the acting skills of the actors, this film is definitely a contender for Best Screenplay of the Year!
The production team of "The Chase" was also very curious about this. Although the director of "The Chase" got his hands on the script of the version before "Ghost Trail", he still couldn't find out who the author of "Ghost Trail" was.
They had originally planned a trending topic about the "Leaked Script of Ghostly Trace" but before they could even set it up, news came that the script had been revised. Moreover, the revised script was only sent to the actors with relevant lines, and the entire content of the script was known only to Director Mo and the mysterious author.
In this way, even if they do reveal the original script of "Ghostly Trace", it will probably only increase their popularity, and will not cause them any losses.
The director of "The Chase" was extremely frustrated, especially when he saw that the opening day ratings of "Ghost" were the same as theirs, and that the ratings continued to rise in the following days. He felt unprecedented pressure.
Although they are different genres, they were released in the same theaters. "The Chase" is still showing in theaters. Originally, the box office of "The Chase" had just rebounded because the actors who played the male lead and the villain formed a real-life couple, which made the CP fans contribute a lot of money to the box office, so that the box office of "The Chase" did not drop as badly as before.
But now, with the release of "Ghost," every screening is sold out, and seven or eight out of ten people who come to the cinema are there to see "Ghost," so other films released at the same time are naturally left vacant.
The numbers for "Chase" naturally couldn't go up.
Especially in the past few days, the plot of "Ghost" has become the focus of everyone's discussion, and passers-by who were curious about the spectacle went to buy tickets to watch the movie, which naturally formed a virtuous cycle. The box office data of "Ghost" increased day by day, and on the fourth day alone, the data had already surpassed that of "Chase", which had been released for two weeks.
This invisible battle has clearly come to a conclusion!
The director of "The Chase" was frustrated but helpless, and could only keep an eye on the latest news, hoping to see when the author's real name would be revealed for "Ghostly Trail".
Because in the end credits of "Ghost," the author's column only had three English letters that were obviously not the author's real name, which clearly meant that the author did not want to reveal their real identity.
