Chapter 922 A Miser

After ending the conversation with Cheng Xiangyun, Ning Ran sat in a daze for a long time, seemingly unable to grasp the situation.

Did the film really become a huge hit? Did it really gross over one hundred million at the box office overnight? Did I really have fans forming a fan club for me?

Ning Ran pinched her own thigh with all her might at that thought. “Ouch!” It was so painful that a groan escaped her lips.

Coincidentally, Nan Chen stepped inside. “What are you doing?” The man shot her a doubtful gaze.

“My skin's itchy!” replied Ning Ran ever so casually.

“Oh, really? Do you want me to scratch it a little for you?”

Ning Ran hurriedly waved her hands at that. “There's no need for that! I'm okay already. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen!”

Then came Nan Chen's revelation. “The box office preliminary results are out. The ticket sales didn't go that well—only a little over three million. Your film now ranks last on the real-time box office chart.”

“What? Didn't someone say that the ticket sales hit the hundred million mark already?” The woman blanched in astonishment.

“Says who?”

On that note, her heart sank. “Wang Xiaoou, that's who. But didn't the film receive countless positive reviews from the netizens? Why aren't the tickets selling?”

“Whose words do you trust? Wang Xiaoou's or mine?” answered Nan Chen with more questions.

Ning Ran was on the verge of tears. Every bit of joy within her was swiftly replaced by sorrow. “I'm sorry...”

“What are you apologizing for?”

“Because... Because the box office sales were so bad. I even thought...”

She forced herself to hold back her overwhelming emotions. To be honest, she would be reduced to a sobbing mess at any moment.

It was then that Nan Chen parted his lips and said, “How could a film that grossed one hundred and three million on the first day of its release be bad?”

Ning Ran looked up in an instant. “What did you just say?”

“I said 'one hundred and three million.' I was only telling you how much in excess the film made over the hundred million mark a while ago.” The corner of the man's lips quirked, his face inundated with nothing but smugness.

“You big meanie!”
