12: Old Chen, netizens all say our movie is great!

Soon, an hour and a half passed, and the film finished playing.

When the lights came back on, Dean Wang was still immersed in shock over Chen Le.

"Old Wang, we've finished watching. What do you think?" Chen Le looked at Dean Wang and asked with a smile.

It was only then that Dean Wang snapped out of his daze and looked at Chen Le.

"This movie is quite good. You were actually able to make such a meaningful film with such a low budget."

"I really don't know how your brain works. You're a directing student, so how could you write such a good script?" Dean Wang looked at Chen Le, feeling an urge to crack his head open and take a look.

"Chen Le, your filming skills are also very high. Have you made movies before? Those shooting techniques and camera work are so experienced."

Hearing Dean Wang's words, Chen Le felt a bit guilty.

He hadn't made movies before; he had inherited memories from his past life.

"No, this is my first time making a movie."

"You made it this well on your first try?"

"Yeah." Chen Le nodded.

"Really... The waves behind drive on those before." Hearing Chen Le say this, Dean Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The younger generation is to be feared, indeed! Haha!"

Beside them, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan gave their impressions.

"I think all the characters in this are so funny. As a comedy, this level is definitely sufficient," Tang Yan said.

Next to her, Liu Shishi spoke softly, "I can't really tell, but I think this movie is quite funny and looks very cheerful."

"I think the customer in it was acted very well," Wang Baoqiang said with a simple, honest laugh.

"Since we've all finished watching the premiere, I, this old man, will head back now," Dean Wang said with a smile after seeing everyone had given their reviews.

"Old Wang, won't you join us for something to eat?"

"No, I'm getting on in years and can't handle the hustle and bustle anymore," Dean Wang shook his head.

"Alright then, Old Wang, be careful on your way back."

After saying this, Chen Le took Yang Mi and the others to find a place to eat near the cinema.

On the way, Liu Shishi walked together with Tang Yan and Yang Mi.

"Mi Mi, your movie is pretty good! I feel the box office definitely won't be too bad," Tang Yan said with a smile.

The quiet Liu Shishi beside her also nodded and chimed in, "I think so too, this movie is quite funny."

Hearing her two close friends' words, Yang Mi also wore a smile on her face.

"We don't know yet, let's wait and see what the first-day box office numbers are before saying anything," Yang Mi said. Although she also felt the box office wouldn't be bad, she didn't dare to make bold claims; she'd wait for the actual numbers.

If she celebrated too early and was wrong, she'd be setting herself up for a slap in the face.

"That's true."

Up ahead, Chen Le led them to a Food Stall.

"You're taking us to a Food Stall?"

Tang Yan was very surprised to see Chen Le bring them to a Food Stall and looked directly at him.

"Yeah, what's wrong with a Food Stall? I think it has a great, lively atmosphere," Chen Le said, looking at Tang Yan with a strange expression that made her feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, no, it's just... we haven't eaten at a Food Stall in a long time, so it's a bit unexpected."

Tang Yan wasn't looking down on Food Stalls; she just didn't expect Chen Le, who was treating a few girls to a meal, to choose a Food Stall.

Most importantly, it was a street-side Food Stall. If passersby recognized them, they probably wouldn't be able to leave.

"Fine."

In the end, they still sat down at the Food Stall.

Gang Zi was somewhat surprised to see the three beauties staying to eat at the Food Stall.

He had thought these big stars were unapproachable and didn't partake in ordinary life.

Now he saw that wasn't the case.

And so, they ate at the Food Stall until past nine o'clock before parting ways.

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi sat in the car heading home.

Liu Shishi's home was in Beijing. Tang Yan had nowhere else to go and could only stay at Shishi's place for the night.

"Shishi, I really didn't expect Sister Mi's boyfriend to be a director," Tang Yan said, looking at Liu Shishi.

She had been very surprised when she first saw Chen Le today. Not only was he very familiar with Dean Wang, but he was also the director of 'nightclub'.

"But he's quite handsome," Tang Yan added.

"I heard from Sister Mi that he was also the top student in the Beijing Film Academy's directing program. I really couldn't tell. Handsome *and* such good grades."

Tang Yan truly hadn't expected Chen Le to be this outstanding.

"I think it's quite good. Sister Mi found such a great boyfriend," Liu Shishi said with a smile.

Although she was also surprised, she didn't express it as exaggeratedly as Tang Yan... Time moved to the next day.

Chen Le woke up groggily to the sound of someone laughing beside him.

He opened his eyes and immediately saw Yang Mi lying next to him.

Yang Mi was holding her phone with both hands, a smile on her face.

"Mi Mi, you're awake? What are you doing?" Chen Le asked.

Hearing Chen Le's voice, Yang Mi immediately moved closer to him and handed him her phone.

"Under my latest post on the Social Media Platform, lots of netizens are commenting, saying the 'nightclub' we made is very good," Yang Mi said, her voice filled with excitement.

She hadn't expected so many netizens to have watched 'nightclub' overnight and come to comment, which made her very happy.

"Really?" Chen Le took the phone, asking in surprise.

He then looked at the phone screen.

"'This nightclub is so funny, my stomach hurts from laughing.'"

"'Here to check in. Wang Xun's acting is hilarious.'"

"'Wang Xun's intimidating presence is too strong.'"

"'What a great 'Hot Soy Milk Without A Straw', I'm laughing my head off.'"

Seeing that there were thousands of comments under Yang Mi's latest post, Chen Le was almost dumbfounded.

Because most of these comments were about 'nightclub'.

"Old Chen, did you see?" Yang Mi asked beside him.

"I saw. Quite a lot of people," Chen Le nodded.

"Old Chen, do you think our movie is about to blow up?" Yang Mi was very excited because this was the first movie she and Chen Le had made together.

"Probably," Chen Le said without a definitive nod.

Because he knew it would be enough if this movie earned eight or nine million at the box office. As for becoming a massive hit, that wasn't very likely.

"But earning eight or nine million at the box office would be enough."

"Eight or nine million? That much?" Yang Mi was somewhat astonished.

She had thought at best they could break even, but Chen Le was saying they could get eight or nine million.

"Is that a lot? It's alright, I guess." If Chen Le didn't know the box office earnings of this movie from his past life, he'd probably also think eight or nine million was a lot.

But in his past life, this movie sold eleven million. Eight or nine million would be on the low side.

Yang Mi hadn't expected Chen Le to be so bold, but seeing his confident expression, she didn't continue with any discouraging words.

"Mm, I hope we can get that much box office."
