Huayu is here for you

Chapter 142 Beyond Imagination

Looking at Xiao Ou's confident eyes, Zou Wenhuai felt even more curious and admiring of Lin Yu.

"Hehe—Lin Yu, Lin Yu! You're truly an amazing person!"

The Forbidden Kingdom film crew—

"Brother Lin, you've reached another level! But—Yifei, I won't admit defeat. I'm different from you. I don't need to rely on Brother Lin to become famous. I can do it all myself—"

"Tian Tian! Get ready to film!"

"Okay! Coming right away."

As Jing left, the newspaper she had been holding was placed on the stool and fluttered in the wind. In the center of the newspaper was a photo of Miss Liu from a poster for the movie "The Witch" when it was released.

While Lin Yu was busy traveling around with Miss Liu and others, the box office of "The Witch" gradually stabilized and no longer showed the explosive growth of the first three days. However, the box office of the first two weeks had already reached 2.6 million RMB, far exceeding Lin Yu's initial expectations.

If things continue like this, breaking 3 is a certainty, and breaking 4 is also something to look forward to.

Meanwhile, the global release of "The Witch" officially began. On February 25th, "The Witch" grossed $13 million in North America, and its opening weekend grossed over $40 million.

In South Korea, the number of viewers exceeded 500,000 on the first day and reached more than 2 million in the first week.

Looking at island nations like Thailand, and other Asian countries, they are also saying: The wolf is coming!

A Chinese film titled "The Witch" completely annihilated other films released in the same region during the same period.

In addition to China, "The Witch" also grossed over $100 million in its opening week worldwide.

It caught Lin Yu completely off guard.

"I was actually thinking I'd be happy if we made a total of 100 million US dollars, but I didn't expect to achieve my goal in just one week." After the roadshow, Lin Yu, while chatting with Ms. Liu, exclaimed, "Hehe—Senior, look, what did I say? Wasn't your 'small goal' of 100 million a bit too low?" Ms. Liu teased him.

Looking at Miss Liu's smug expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "Hehe, girl, it seems I've lost again this time! But I've noticed something: why do I always lose my bets with you?"

"Huh? What, you still want to win?"

"I do have a competitive streak, but this time, I'm quite happy with my loss. How about we make another bet? We'll bet on the final box office of 'The Witch'!" Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he smiled faintly. "What are you planning to do?" Miss Liu suddenly became wary.

Lin Yu: "??? Miss Liu, you're making me look like a bad guy. What can I do?"

"So—what's the stake?"

"Hmm—if I lose, I'll make that romantic movie I promised you, but if I win—hehe!" Lin Yu suddenly laughed out loud as he spoke.

Looking at Lin Yu's malicious expression, Miss Liu felt a little intimidated. "What's with the 'hehe'? Hurry up, tell me what you want if you win?"

"If I win, then—"

"how?"

"Come home with me!"

Liu Yifei: "(。·ω。——Are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm afraid if I don't take you back to meet my parents soon, I'll probably have to buy my dad a new Seven Wolves motorcycle again." Lin Yu said somewhat fearfully, "I really don't know what's wrong with my old man's brain. He beat me with the leather belt I bought him! And then he broke it, and I have to replace it with a new one? I'm even considering whether I should just buy him a red string instead."

"Haha—is your dad really that funny?" Miss Liu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Lin Yu's words.

"You're still laughing? You've never experienced what it feels like to be whipped with a belt! Tsk tsk—it hurts so much. But speaking of which, the old man hasn't whipped me in a long time, and to be honest, I'm actually a little itchy—uh, no, I kind of miss the way the old man disciplined me."

"Uncle is a teacher, right?" Miss Liu suddenly asked. "Hmm, what do you mean? Didn't you already know that? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Hehe, do you think Uncle feels he can't hit students at school, so he takes out all the anger he gets from those naughty kids at school on you?" Miss Liu said with a chuckle, her eyes darting around.

Lin Yu stared blankly with his small, bewildered eyes, then suddenly had a moment of realization.

"What you said makes so much sense, Miss Liu!"

"Heh—right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! But don't try to change the subject, Miss Liu, tell me your box office forecast!" Lin Yu said, rubbing his hands together eagerly. "Tch! Who's changing the subject? But—200 million US dollars! Whoever's forecast is close to the final box office of 'The Witch' wins! We'll start at the end of April, no need to wait until it's completely taken off the screens in North America." Miss Liu blushed slightly and thought for a moment before smiling. "200 million? Hmm—then I'll guess 250 million. Let's make it a promise, Miss Liu!" Lin Yu extended his right hand to Liu Yifei.

Snapped--

"The bet is settled!"

In his spare time, besides focusing on the post-production of "Qian Xuesen", Lin Yu also took the time to visit the set of "Kung Fu Jungle" to see his two nominal disciples, Guo Fan and Wen Muye.

Ms. Liu, who happened to have some free time, naturally accompanied Lin Yu on the trip.

Furthermore, these two are now becoming increasingly unrestrained. Whether at the company or traveling, they are almost always together, completely disregarding how others perceive them. Therefore, the media would be unworthy of being called a qualified media outlet if they didn't take a bite of this juicy gossip that has been delivered to their doorstep.

When the media first discovered this, they thought they had stumbled upon a huge scoop in the entertainment industry! They all started editing articles overnight, trying to attract a lot of public attention.

Like what—

"Shocking inside story! A well-known domestic director actually—"

"The most talented director, Mr. Lin, is already taken?"

"The Love Life of Famous Actress Liu Moumou Revealed!"

Some of the more vague ones include: "Lin, the CEO and director of a top domestic company, was always seen with an artist surnamed Liu."

"The fairy-like beauty actually has a boyfriend?"

"Lin Yu's girlfriend is actually—"

Such reports naming names were frequent, but the media outlets soon realized that their reports were creating too little of a ripple.
