Chapter 646: Sleepless
She had thought that she would be able to get the information she wanted and confirm if Mu Weiwei really knew anything.
But she had not expected that Mu Weiwei would be so cunning. Instead of getting the information she wanted, she ended up being even more annoyed by her words.
If she was just a minor actress from Hua Land, she would have shut her up forever.
But she had Fu Hanzheng backing her.
Therefore, although she deeply hated Mu Weiwei, she could not do anything to her.
After seeing Mu Weiwei, Ling Yan returned to the hotel room, where her agent and Ke Wei were already waiting for her.
“Look at the media reports and film critics today.”
Then he gave her the iPad.
Ling Yan took it and glanced at it. She was first praised by an authoritative media company: [Mu Weiwei is the biggest surprise of this year.]
Then came the comments of two film critics on Sleepless: [The story goes deeper and deeper and what I see is not a group of people performing a fictional story, but a real story. I can’t wait to watch it again, when it is released globally.]
[Whether it is the control of the plot or the storyline, every actor’s performance is perfect. I can’t believe that the director is only 19 years old.]
…
Basically, the reports and comments after the premiere of Sleepless were all high praises.
Ling Yan asked, “So what if she is highly praised, will we lose to her?”
Would a major production directed by a master director like theirs, lose to a low-budget movie?
Her agent showed her the comments about Dream of a Long Life 2 after the premiere.
[Dream of a Long Life 2 has disappointed me. It has no power to move me.]
[After watching Dream of a Long Life 2, I miss the first Dream of a Long Life]
…
“Although most of the media and film critics are speaking up for us, there are still many voices like these.” The agent said.
Ling Yan tossed the iPad onto the sofa and looked even worse.
“How did this happen?”
When Dream of a Long Life was released, there were almost no negative comments, and the box office was full of praise.
They had put in so much effort to film the second movie, and it was only just the premiere, yet such negative voices were heard.
“I told you that Sleepless is our biggest competitor.” Assistant Director Ke Wei said.
Dream of a Long Life 2 was the sequel to Dream of a Long Life, so the audience would definitely compare it with the first one.
But compared to the first movie, they were not doing very well in many aspects.
Although they had put in some effort into the storyline, the director was James, a blockbuster director who released movies in Europe and America, so the shooting technique and rhythm were more westernized, and some parts were not delicate enough.
Most importantly, Ling Yan, the lead actress, had lost the charm from the first movie.
Although she was trying very hard to act, her performance in the first film was way better.
Because of these reasons, their Dream of a Long Life 2 could not surpass the first classic.
It was unamusing that they could not surpass the classics, but it would be absolutely ridiculous if they were surpassed by others.
And now, the movie Sleepless might be a better opponent than them.
“Even if she is the opponent, we can’t stop them from showing.” Ling Yan said with her teeth clenched.
As long as Fu Hanzheng did not break up with Mu Weiwei, Mu Weiwei would be able to do whatever she wanted and they would be helpless.
