Su Qi's Shock

On the 28th of the month, the third day after the premiere of "Cholera Shang," in a courtyard house in Capital, a man said, "Old Zhang, aren't you asleep yet? I know your movie did well, but you've only slept ten hours in the last three days. You're over 60 years old; where do you find the passion of your youth?"

The one who spoke was an older woman wearing a floral vest. She spoke with a thick old Capital accent, clearly a native of Capital.

In fact, even without listening to her accent, the people living in this courtyard are generally old Capital.

The "Old Zhang" the old woman was referring to was Director Zhang. Director Zhang didn't seem to pay much attention to his wife's words.

He adjusted his glasses, took a sip of coffee, and then continued looking at the tablet in his hand, which displayed the interface of the movie "Cholera Shang".

At this time, the cover of the movie "Cholera Shang" had already changed from the large portraits of the two male protagonists, Jiang Ziya and King Zhou, to the captivating face of Su Daji, who brought ruin to the country.

The total box office revenue shown above has reached 870 million as of now, a staggering figure.

How could Director Zhang not be excited seeing these box office figures?

It's important to know that a movie that grosses over 1 billion yuan can be considered a masterpiece, over 2.5 billion yuan is a blockbuster, and 5 billion yuan is unprecedented.

Director Zhang Zhang's highest-grossing film to date is 2.6 billion yuan, and it was that film that made him an overnight sensation.

It's important to know that a movie's final box office performance will be determined one to one month after its release.

Now that "Cholera Shang" has been released, it has reached 870 million in just 3 days. Director Zhang still feels like he is in a dream with such an exaggerated number.

He dared not sleep at that moment, for fear of falling asleep only to find it was all a dream. After all, this dream was far too beautiful for him, the director.

After taking another sip of the bitter Americano, Director Zhang felt a bit nauseous in his stomach.

However, seeing the box office numbers still gradually increasing, a big smile spread across his usually serious face.

Just then, a message suddenly came from Director Zhang's WeChat that caught his attention.

In fact, in the past two days, Director Zhang's WeChat have been getting 99+ messages without him even noticing.

After all, everyone could see the great fire that Cholera Shang.

Su Qi, the actress who played Su Daji, became famous for her stunning beauty and the bewitching cruelty of Su Daji.

Director Zhang, as the chief director of the entire series, also became an instant sensation.

In the past few days, almost everyone on WeChat has sent congratulatory messages, and many agents have also expressed their desire to work more with Director Zhang in the future.

On the first day, Director Zhang was able to respond happily and occasionally say a few words.

But on the 10th day, the cover of the film about Cholera Shang was changed.

The box office exploded, fueling even greater enthusiasm. However, due to the overwhelming number of people, Director Zhang gradually calmed down from his initial excitement.

Since he simply couldn't reply to everyone, Director Zhang now only selects a few substantial responses.

Now, after Director Zhang saw a message on his phone from his agent Liu Qi, he placed his tablet on the table with interest and then picked up his phone.

As for why Director Zhang did this?

He knew that his agent, Liu Qi, was the agent of that cute little girl, Su Qi.

Thinking of that adorable little girl, who appeared in my field of vision twice, the first time boosting the TV series' ratings.

This time, he broke his own movie's viewership record again.

Director Zhang felt that Su Qi was truly his lucky star.

After opening Liu Qi's chat interface with a smile, Director Zhang discovered that the message Liu Qi sent was not a congratulatory message, but a beautifully presented picture.

Director Zhang's finger gently touched the phone screen to zoom in on the image.

He then noticed that there were seven very pretty girls in the picture, and Su Qi, that little girl, was among them.

She was dressed as Su Daji, making her hard to ignore, or rather, all seven girls were easy to overlook.

After admiring the beautiful picture and the little dialogue on it, Director Zhang couldn't help but burst into laughter. He thought Su Qi was just too funny.

This is such a clever idea; it's amazing that the little girl could come up with it.

After laughing a few times, Director Zhang suddenly remembered that he had promised the young girl a couple of days ago to support her.

After thinking for a moment, Director Zhang made a phone call to Su Qi.

At this moment, Su Qi's innocent eyes were like two plump grapes.

As for Su Qi's shock, it was because she hadn't expected her family to be so wealthy. Just five minutes earlier, Su Qi had answered a call from her mother, Lu Ran.

Su Qi thought it would be her mother's usual greeting.

Unexpectedly, her mother learned from her fourth brother's Weibo that after he started his own company, she was thinking of investing some money to support his work.

Su Qi was very gratified by her mother's support.

She thought her mother would invest 300,000 to 1 million yuan, which would be about right.

But Su Qi never expected that her mother's first words would be, "How about 20 million? Is that enough, Xiao Qi?"

This amount stunned Su Qi. How could her mother be so rich?

Rental yields in Shanghai aren't that high either.

When Lu Ran heard the phone call, she noticed her daughter's silence and assumed it was because the amount of money was too small.

After thinking for a moment, he said with some hesitation:

"50 million, I'll leave the rest of my savings for your dowry."

Hearing Lu Ran's words, Su Qi fell into deep thought. Was Lu Ran's mother really that rich?

The remaining half means my mother has a stash of 100 million yuan?

Isn't this amount of secret stash of money a bit excessive?

And she doesn't want to get married!

Su Qi had completely forgotten what they talked about after that, or how she hung up the phone. At this moment, she was only filled with surprise: her mother was so rich!

While Su Qi was in a daze, her phone rang again.

I see that the caller ID shows "Director Zhang".

Su Qi finally snapped out of her shock at her family's wealth and quickly answered the phone!

Director Zhang originally wanted to congratulate Su Qi on her recent rise to fame.

However, after chatting for a while, Director Zhang discovered that this young girl didn't seem happy about becoming famous at all; in fact, she seemed a little resistant. This left Director Zhang somewhat amused and exasperated.

After chatting for a while, Director Zhang quickly changed the subject to the investment company, asking a few simple questions.

Director Zhang then said, "I said I'd support you before, but you little girl, don't make this old man lose money. I'll just invest 30 million to test the waters first."

After hanging up the phone, Su Qi was a little confused. Hadn't they agreed on 10 million?

Why did it go up?
