391: People in the music industry are frustrated: "It's hopeless, Director Shen is such a disappointment!"

Seeing the gazes cast upon him, Da Zhuang slapped his forehead and quickly apologized, saying:

"Sorry, everyone, I was a little too excited just now and forgot about this.

Our Da Xu Culture monopolized the first and second spots for the first day's box office, so Director Shen's work is ranked third.

'the promise of stars' had a first-day box office of 36 million, which is 15 million less than Director Xu's work..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions immediately showed surprise.

Although they knew that after 'those years' and 'my old classmate' took second and first place respectively, Director Shen's 'the promise of stars' couldn't be higher.

But learning now that the opponent was so far behind in box office data, everyone felt it was quite unbelievable.

Various discussions were naturally indispensable:

"This is too outrageous. Wasn't Director Shen praised to the heavens online before?

I thought we really had a strong opponent this time, and then... that's it?"

"Yeah, a difference of 15 million, that's not even in the same league. And this is just the first day; who knows how it will develop later? It's a bit ridiculous."

"I said Director Xu would definitely win. Now that I see this data, it's exactly as I expected."

"But isn't Director Shen known as a Master of Youth Campus Dramas? How could he be so disappointing?"

..."I remember many industry insiders also thought that Da Xu Culture might lose this time, but now..."

"Do you think you can trust what Experts say? If those guys really had insight, their box office wouldn't have flopped."

"That's true. In the past two years, Director Xu has had no match, and this time is no exception."

"If you ask me, that Director Shen is just famous. He was great before because he hadn't met anyone better, but now that he's met our Great Xu, of course he has to kneel!"

...Amidst everyone's discussions, the previous worries had long vanished without a trace.

However, unlike the lively atmosphere at Da Xu Culture.

On Director Shen Shanchuan's side, the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

"How is this possible? Only 36 million for the first day's box office? Could this data be wrong?"

Like everyone else, Shen Shanchuan was also questioning the accuracy of the data at this moment.

In fact, he wasn't doubting the 36 million.

He was just wondering why his 'the promise of stars' was ranked third.

And the works of Xu Lu happened to be ranked first and second.

Hearing Shen Shanchuan's words, the investors also looked very displeased.

They originally thought that by finding Shen Shanchuan this time, with his reputation as a Master of Youth Campus Dramas, they would definitely make a fortune at the box office.

But from the current data, the future situation is very unclear.

If it were just that youth campus dramas weren't popular recently, leading to poor box office data, that would be understandable.

However, Da Xu Culture's two youth campus dramas both garnered over 50 million in first-day box office.

So, attributing the low box office to the film genre not being popular is definitely not acceptable.

Then there's another possibility: the movie directed by Shen Shanchuan itself is of poor quality!

But he was already a Master of Youth Campus Dramas six years ago, so how could the film he made be of poor quality?

Thinking of this, the investors laid their cards on the table:

"Director Shen, there's no problem with the first-day box office data. I've had people check it multiple times.

What other reasons do you think there could be? Can this film pick up later?"

Hearing this, Shen Shanchuan's expression grew even uglier.

But he still refused to believe that there was a problem with his own work, so he said with a stern face:

"It seems their promotional efforts were superior, which is why we lost the first day's box office.

But don't worry, we still have a chance. Maybe the data will go up tomorrow."

"Let's hope so!"

The investors decided to trust Shen Shanchuan, this 'former Master of Youth Campus Dramas,' one more time.

Shen Shanchuan nodded repeatedly, saying:

"It will definitely go up. The quality of my film is absolutely fine. As long as word-of-mouth builds, the box office will not be a problem, and it will definitely increase later."

...Leaving aside Director Shen, who was trying to encourage himself.

Film industry insiders, after learning the news, were all somewhat surprised:

"the promise of stars' first day was so much lower? With Director Shen's strength, this shouldn't be the case."

"Indeed, even six years ago, Director Shen's works already had impressive box office numbers.

And 30 million box office back then was much harder to achieve than 30 million now."

"I'm also very puzzled. Could it be that Director Shen has been dormant for too long, so his fame is not as great as before?"

"Possibly, after all, Director Xu Lu's fame has been soaring in the past two years, while Director Shen hasn't had many works."

..."However, Director Xu's situation surprises me greatly. I originally thought he would suffer a setback this time, but he's still so impressive."

"Isn't that right? Making two films of the same genre at the same time is like child's play, but unexpectedly both films did very well at the box office."

"Could it be that Director Shen is going to lose this time too? That would be too shocking."

"If Director Shen loses, then the title of Master of Youth Campus Dramas will probably change hands."

...If film industry insiders were merely surprised after learning the news.

Then, as people in the music industry, their mood was quite depressed after hearing the news.

"What? Director Shen's movie's first-day box office is even lower than Xu Lu's? How is that possible?"

"Oh no, Director Shen, how could you be so disappointing?

Aren't you a Master of Youth Campus Dramas? How can you not even beat that kid Xu Lu?"

"This Shen Shanchuan really disappoints me. I had so much confidence in him.

I didn't expect this guy to be undeserving of his reputation, boasting a lot but actually being very weak."

"I'm really fed up. Why is it so hard to make that kid Xu Lu lose just once?"

..."It's over, it's over. We didn't manage to hit that kid Xu Lu this time either. This feeling is just too terrible."

"Damn it, even Director Shen isn't a match for that kid Xu Lu. Then who can be?"

"Yes, if no one comes to suppress Xu Lu, then our music industry will suffer in the future."

"Isn't that right? What if this kid writes a theme song every time he makes a new movie? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?

People in our music industry will once again suffer the humiliation of being cross-domain.

People in the music industry being bullied by people in the film industry in the music field—this is simply a great humiliation!"

..."Yay, 'my old classmate' is number one at the box office on the first day, hahahaha, we finally beat 'those years...' once!"

Compared to the frustrated music industry insiders, Reba, who was also waiting for the results, clapped her hands happily at this moment.

Her good friend Rui Rui, seeing this, immediately said speechlessly:

"Come on, it's just a little less than two million more than them. Do you have to be so happy?"
