She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

After the movie, Zhang Kexin was still a little reluctant to leave. Xie Jiali looked at her and said jokingly, "How was it? I was right, you will love this movie."

"...They are indeed much more likable than the girls in those previous campus movies." Zhang Kexin blushed slightly, looking very shy.

Xie Jiali smiled and took her arm. "I've said it before, this one is definitely more interesting than 'The Chase'. Action movies are always full of fighting and killing, so boring that they are like harsh noises."

Zhang Kexin nodded repeatedly and sighed, "Mingyue is so beautiful. Every outfit looks so good on her. I can watch her face for 90 minutes."

When Guan Mingyue was mentioned, her eyes lit up.

While shopping, the two of them kept talking about the contents of the movie. Zhang Kexin completely forgot that she had been actively trying to drag her friends to support Xia Yuqing's new movie "The Pursuit" a few days ago - even though Xia Yuqing was just a supporting actress in the movie.

At the end of the day, Zhang Kexin had already forgotten Xia Yuqing as far as Java, and the only thing left in her mind was the dazzling and beautiful Guan Mingyue.

Perhaps young girls have not noticed it yet, but film critics who closely follow the trends in the film industry know very well: female-themed films seem to be taking this opportunity to return to the public eye, and want to once again exude the same charm as they did twenty years ago.

Well-known film critic Xu Renqiao wrote in his column: "The novelty of "Summer of Sixteen" far exceeded my expectations. The unexpected reversal in the second half of the film effectively avoided falling into clichés. The friendship between the girls who help each other is beautiful and precious. Perhaps this film will become director Tang Wanhua's masterpiece."

A Yue, deputy editor-in-chief of Reading Movies, also gave it a high evaluation: "To be honest, this is the best movie I've watched this year. The pictures are beautiful, the actors are full of spirit, the rhythm is just right, and the exploration of the psychological changes of teenagers during puberty is quite in-depth. It is a rare sincere work."

The always picky Yu Zhengze also said: "Although the actors' performances are still not perfect, such as too much craftsmanship, not enough eye contact and a series of other problems, this movie is indeed fresh enough, like a charming storm of youth, and perhaps young people will fall in love with it."

Popular Cinema changed its previous arrogance and praised Summer of Sixteen in the newspaper, even saying that "this is the most eye-catching movie this summer and should not be missed."

Hua Wuyu, a film critic from the Banzu Group, has always been fond of this kind of fresh and petty-bourgeois style films. He wrote a long article of praise: "The most beautiful feeling is never love, but friendship. The pure beach that appears several times in the film is like the friendship between the girls at the age of sixteen, pure, transparent, and crystal clear, which is the most precious thing in the world. The summer of sixteen is beautiful and fleeting. Following Qiao Qiao, I seem to have returned to that wonderful summer, and returned to the time called youth in my memory."

In addition to positive reviews, there are of course negative reviews. Many people expressed that they did not understand the ending and felt that the director arranged it randomly and should have let Qiao Qiao agree to confess her love - but this is only a small number of people after all.

Overall, the film was a great success.

The box office on the first day exceeded 3 million yuan thanks to the support of public opinion, and the number of screenings in theaters doubled on the second day. The box office continued to rise during the three days of the May Day holiday, and even reversed the decline and broke through the million yuan mark on the last day, completely surpassing the action blockbuster "Chasing Operation" and leading the May Day holiday.

Such a success once again increased the producer's publicity efforts. The companies behind Su Lingxi and Wu He also seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. For a time, the entire Internet was flooded with news about the film. Film magazines, fashion... Figaro also invited the two female leads to shoot the cover of the June issue, recreating the classic seaside scene in the movie in the magazine.

A week later, "Summer of Sixteen", which cost only 10 million yuan, had a total box office of over 8.2 billion yuan, and its opening score was as high as points, surpassing "Chasing" in both box office and word of mouth - truly achieving the miracle of a chick flick defeating a sci-fi action blockbuster!

Although Su Lingxi is only the second-ranked star, the benefits he reaped are no less than those of Wu He. His followers on Weibo increased by one million, and the voice of his fans on various platforms is much louder than before.

Xia Yuqing, who played the supporting female role in "Pursuit", not only did not reap any benefits, but also became a target of ridicule by her opponents.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuqing felt even worse.

The wind direction of the entertainment industry is so changeable. In less than a month, Su Lingxi has gone from being a nobody to a new generation movie star with box office success; but she lost two short-term endorsements due to the unexpected failure of "Chasing Action"...

If she is honest, Xia Yuqing actually doesn't have much passion for acting. In her eyes, the identity of a star is just a stepping stone for her to cross classes.

If she hadn't come into contact with this circle by chance when she was a child, how could she have had the opportunity to meet a rich second-generation like Xu Zichuan, given her family's financial situation of not being able to make ends meet? Xu Zichuan might be a little stupid, but he has good conditions, which is hard to find even in the entertainment industry.

However, Xia Yuqing was not satisfied with just this.

She and Su Lingxi were both 00s girls, and both were students of the Imperial Capital Film Academy, so they had long been natural competitors in the industry. Now Su Lingxi's momentum had already overtaken her, and if she continued like this, she might only be able to act in the scripts that the other party had left over.

Xia Yuqing has a strong personality by nature and would never accept such a situation.

Feeling that his girlfriend was not in a good state, Xu Zichuan asked softly: "Yuqing, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Xia Yuqing turned around and looked at him, tears flickering in her eyes. "The box office of 'The Pursuit' was not ideal. The two endorsements I had negotiated with this movie were lost."

Xu Zichuan frowned and said in a surprised tone, "You are not the main character. What does the failure of the movie have to do with you? These people are really ridiculous."

Xu Zichuan's personality is cynical to put it nicely, and stupid with lots of money to put it bluntly. He is just like everyone else in Cheng Jialang's circle. His brother inherited his family's business, and he only takes the dividends every year and lives a carefree life, not caring about anything else.

At first, I just decided to act on a whim, but I didn't expect that I would become a popular figure with just my face and a costume drama.

Xu Zichuan really enjoyed the feeling of being sought after, but because of the doting from his family and fans, he became more and more self-centered and even often openly asked his agent to help Xia Yuqing get resources, making everyone in the company miserable, but they didn't dare say anything to this big Buddha.
