Inferior females become internet sensations across the entire galaxy

Chapter 204 Box Office
Because all the film critics' reviews were somewhat vague, netizens were filled with curiosity.

If ten film critics were bribed, surely all film review bloggers couldn't have been bribed?

Even bloggers who become famous for their sharp and scathing reviews sometimes ramble on incoherently.

There's something strange about it; he sometimes criticizes and sometimes praises the same scene.

For example, in the scene where Cheng Yong goes to offer incense and gives money to his wife after Lao Lü's death.

He cursed the screenwriter, roughly meaning that they wanted to portray the patients as pitiful, hateful, and grateful at the same time.

It evokes both sympathy and disgust in the audience regarding the ugliness of human nature, creating a constant emotional turmoil.

He was clearly cursing, but those who saw the post perceived it as praise.

Therefore, some people suspect that he might be taking advantage of others for personal gain.

This blogger, named Houye, bluntly stated: "Which of the top ten movies in the Federation's rankings haven't I criticized?"

Which of them doesn't have a more powerful background than Jiang Qin? Have I ever been afraid?
As for accepting money, that's even less likely. I don't accept any, and nobody will bother me. But if I accept money from one place, it wouldn't make sense for the others not to, and I understand that.
Most people believe this.

This blogger, whose online name is Houye, may not be the film critic with the most fans in the Federation, but he is definitely the one with the most fans among the most sarcastic film critics.

He became famous by nitpicking, so there's no reason for him to ruin his reputation.

Of course, unless one of these circumstances occurs—that he marries Jiang Qin—there is no reason why he could be bribed by her.

However, this possibility can be ruled out, since the Marquis is a married male.

His social media posts are all about his female partner, which shows how much he loves her, so it's impossible for him to cheat.

Based on these inferences, it can be concluded that his evaluation remains harsh.

How bad could a movie be that can elicit such harsh criticism from critics who subtly praise it?

Driven by curiosity, more and more people flocked to the cinema.

The reviews from those who watched it were mostly positive.

After watching so many war movies, everyone finds this kind of subject matter incredibly compelling.

The more I watch, the more engrossed I become.

Originally, the cinema's audience was evenly distributed among the five films, but too many people couldn't buy tickets and began to put pressure on the cinemas.

[Third day of trying to buy tickets, still no luck. I've had enough. I've been waiting forever, and I still can't get one.]
[I've been trying to buy tickets for three days straight and haven't succeeded. It's so frustrating! I can't even get into the bar queues, let alone a movie ticket.]
[Those who say it's a mediocre drama, didn't they say they wouldn't watch it?]
Who are the people who rush to buy tickets every day?
Each city has a maximum of five cinemas, with the largest accommodating three thousand people and the smallest accommodating one thousand.

Each planet has ten cities, which means there are about fifty cinemas. If one film is shown each day, about 150,000 tickets will be released.

Each ticket costs 70 Star Coins, so when all tickets were sold out, The God of Medicine grossed over 10 billion Star Coins in a single day.

This has never happened before.

Even on the first day of release for films by famous directors, the attendance rate is never this high.

Of course, box office figures are always slightly inflated on the first day of release.

But the fact that the box office remained so high on the second and third days, with demand exceeding supply, is a testament to the solid data.

By the fourth day, many cinemas were showing "Dying to Survive" four times a day, during prime time.

Two other Empire films were also shown in the same theater.

Although the box office of "Dying to Survive" rose rapidly, exceeding the estimated box office on the first day, it still did not rise as fast as the two films in "Empire".

After all, those two movies were released simultaneously across the entire galaxy, while "Dying to Survive" was only released in the Federation. Therefore, its box office revenue was naturally less than that of the other two movies.

Many netizens posted angry comments in response:

[Currently, it seems only "Dying to Survive" in the Federation has a chance to compete with Imperial Cinema. Who is it that doesn't support their own films but instead buys tickets to Imperial Cinema?]
[I suggest adding two more screenings of "Dying to Survive," I haven't been able to get tickets yet.]
[Anyway, I'm not buying tickets for the Empire Cinema. I can wait a few months until it's available on the StarNet and watch it there.]
[I won't buy tickets either. I'm not interested in the "Dying to Survive" genre, but I can buy tickets to see it, but I can't buy tickets to see "Highlight" or "Black Fog."]
"Highlights" and "Black Fog" are the two highest-grossing movies that Empire recently released.

The filming costs alone amounted to nearly a trillion.

The cast, from lead to supporting roles, consists entirely of interstellar superstars, and even the villains are movie stars from all races.

Several of the Federation's top actors and actresses also have roles in these two films.

It can be described as a gathering of superstars.

On the day of its release, it was shown in theaters across the entire interstellar region, with an occupancy rate as high as 90%.

The box office soared to 100 billion in just one day.

The box office remained high on the second and third days, but it dropped slightly by 10 billion compared to the first day.

Because various film critics came out to comment:

[A film by a renowned director, consistently high quality, but the plot is just average. It's not bad, but there are no surprises.]

It's basically a film that's bought with the money of its fans.
Although they couldn't film videos and upload them to the StarNet, those who watched them wrote down a rough summary of the plot.

"Highlight" is a historical war film adapted from historical events.

The protagonist is General Hoth, an imperial general from three hundred years ago.

At that time, the Zerg and the Empire were at war for many years. It wasn't until that year, in that battle, that he and the Zerg Queen perished together, that the two sides signed a peace agreement.

Therefore, this movie is titled Highlight.

That battle was the most glorious moment in General Hoss's life.

This light has illuminated people for many years.

With its emotional appeal and star power, this movie is bound to be a hit.

Despite this storyline and this historical event being filmed and remade many times, there are still many people willing to pay for the name Hoss.

"Black Fog," on the other hand, is a mystery survival film.

The story is roughly about how the main characters' spaceship is damaged and accidentally falls into a black hole, ending up on a planet lost in space.

On that planet, they discovered traces of human life dating back at least a thousand years.

But now all that's left on this planet is the nearly obliterated garbage and ruins, and the supplies they brought can only last for a month.

In order to repair their spaceship and leave, they began to explore the lost planet and found many relics of a civilization.

But nothing was edible; it was a dead planet, and they couldn't find anything to eat.

It's unclear how long it will take to repair the spaceship, and how can they survive without supplies?
So they started fighting amongst themselves.

After experiencing a series of dark events in human nature, only the male and female protagonists survived.

And luckily, the spaceship was repaired, and after passing through the black hole, it returned to the correct spaceship trajectory.
