Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 723

Chapter 723 - This Is The Real Success

Yan Huan received a photo on her phone from Lu Jin. Lu Jin and Ye Shuyun both went to a movie, they even bought popcorn and soda like young people, which made them feel a little younger.

Sitting beside them were all foreigners. When the movie started, there were almost no empty seats, the attendance was astonishingly high.

Lu Jin also sent Yan Huan a message.

“Nicely done, you have brought glory upon our country. The film’s quality is on par with international big budget films. We are proud of you.”

Yan Huan moved her phone closer. She saw Ye Shuyun waving their national flag, seemingly in a good mood. She was relieved to see that her mother-in-law was in good health. Maybe in the near future, they could come home and their family should have a reunion to celebrate the success of her movie.

On the third day of the Lantern Festival, everyone was still guessing how much more Before the Beginning could make in the box office. There were many who checked the box office charts from time to time, like Luo Lin.

One hundred million, two hundred million. In the evening, it was another astonishing number.

Four hundred and ninety million. Another ten million and it would have reached five hundred million.

Unfortunately, it did not reach five hundred million in the end and many critic websites were still laughing before this, saying that the movie would flop and end its run without even reaching five hundred million.

Five hundred million, what did that mean? Some films could only earn a total of five hundred million throughout its box office run. But Before the Beginning was able to reach five hundred million within a single day, why wouldn’t they be happy?

On the fourth day, which was a non-working day, it made 300 million in the box office.

Aster had such good traffic during the New Year period, yet its box office a day had peaked at around three hundred million. Before the Beginning could make three hundred million box office a day even on a typical non-working day.

What surged together with the domestic box office and the amazing reviews was the sky high foreign box office. On its second day, Before the Beginning was able to seize several front spots on the box office charts in North America, meaning that they had forcefully pushed the other films that premiered in the same period down the charts. Being a local film, everyone thought that it would not do well overseas. However, this particular one refreshed the foreigners’ knowledge about Chinese films.

The domestic box office continued to grow in a terrifying speed. On its ninth day, it has broken the box office record that was held by White Fox for two years, and the daily box office was breaking its own record day after day. It maintained over a hundred million in daily box office sales for almost half a month. After a month, Before the Beginning finally went into its extended run. The daily box office sales slowly decreased but it still held on to the title of Daily Box Office Champion.

From four hundred million to three hundred million, then two hundred million, one hundred million, slowly and gradually, it should have reached the end of its theatrical run, when it wouldn’t even reach a hundred million a day anymore. Otherwise, it would be too absurd.

Meanwhile, on the internet, everyone was guessing how much Before the Beginning could make after everything. 4.5 billion? 5 billion? 6 billion? Or even higher than that? Many passersby walked into the theatre to watch this. Since it was a big budget film, it was a must to watch it in a theatre to fully experience the astounding visual effects. Therefore, many viewers brought their families to the movie, maybe once or twice, or even more. It felt like they were addicted as they kept watching it again and again. It was also the reason why Before the Beginning was such a hit in the box office.

Before the Beginning finally decided to prolong its run for another month, just like how Aster Flower did. They would extend it further after that if there was a necessity.

Aster’s name was no longer on the box office chart, but Before the Beginning was still on it. It was still fighting with other newly released films for the top spot in the daily box office chart. From its premiere until now, Before the Beginning had achieved its mission and was currently sitting on 5.2 billion in box office sales. Therefore, it was successful, other than creating an astounding box office record, it also boosted Yan Huan and Liang Chen’s name madly. Of course, Linlang managed to propel their starlets to stardom as well.

Advertisement offers came in like the rising tide, endorsements were increasing day by day.

Of course, the ones who got the most out of the success were none other than Liang Chen and Yan Huan. However, Liang Chen had her hands full with her baby, so she could not return to work this early. Of course, she did not want to return either. She had earned enough. All she wanted to do now was to take care of her baby. Since Qi Haolin was out working and feeding the family, she had no reason to go back to work.

As for Yan Huan, she was still the same, rejecting all of the endorsement and advertising offers that came her way. She boarded the plane and left by her own after the roadshow ended.

Knock knock. She knocked on the door and pulled her suitcase inside, reeking of travel fatigue from top to bottom. It felt strange, as everyone back at the company was exalted, but her heart remained as still as water. Having such a high box office achievement under her belt, it still felt like nothing more than a string of bigger numbers, because no one was there for her to share the joy with, no one was there to celebrate with her.

Therefore, on the contrary, she was not really excited. All she felt was that she might have cast a perfect final curtain over her acting career.

When the door opened, the housekeeper was stunned when she saw Yan Huan. Then, she screamed happily into the house.

“Sir, madam, Ms. Yan has returned.”

Yan Huan continued to drag her travelling case as she walked over. Lu Jin and Ye Shuyun were present as expected. Of course, Mr and Mrs Lei were there as well.

“Auntie…”

A fat little boy tumbled over clumsily like a meatball. He was as fat as a blob and looked very cute.

Yan Huan bent down and extended her arms to pick the little meatball up. She pinched his little puffy face as she cooed, “It’s only been days since we last saw each other! Look how chubby you’ve gotten!?”

The little meatball obviously had no idea what she meant. He only widened his tiny mouth and smiled innocently.

“Auntie, did you bring Leilei any fun toys?”

It had been a long time since Little Lei saw Yan Huan. However, he knew that Yan Huan would never forget about him because she loved him very much, so of course she would buy him a lot of toys.

Kids are very honest, they would always put on a smile on the faces of those who showed them kindness or gave them toys and good food.

And Little Lei’s impression of Yan Huan was indeed as such. She would buy him food and spoil him with toys. So, she was the one whom he smiled at the most.

“You little rascal, are you only looking forward to the toys?” Madam Lei laughed. “I was just talking about how excited he is to meet his aunt. It seems like this sly little boy knew that Huanhuan was gonna bring him toys!”

“Right? Kids nowadays are all so cunning even at their young age.” Ye Shuyun seemed to be in a good mood. She originally thought that Yan Huan would return some days later. Since her movie was still showing in theaters, there would still be promotional roadshows. It seemed like Yan Huan came back a lot earlier than she expected.
