Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Unprecedented and Unrivaled

Throughout the entire 140 minutes, Shen Junlan did not say a single word.

However, it was not hard to tell from her tightly clasped fingers holding onto the hem of her skirt just how focused her emotions had become due to the movie itself.

"Phew..." After the movie had played for the full 140 minutes, Shen Junlan took a deep breath as if trying to force herself to calm down.

Then, she slowly turned her head to look towards Chen Wei and asked, "President Chen, are you sure this was something that could be filmed in fifteen days?"

As their eyes met, whatever Shen Junlan was thinking seemed to be written all over her face.

Chen Wei nodded without hesitation in confirmation, "That’s right, fifteen days. On average, we filmed for over ten hours each day, and for the parts I was in charge of, it was likely more than fifteen hours."

"..." Shen Junlan parted her thin lips, wanting to say something, then hesitating, stopping and wanting to speak again... Her feelings were incredibly complex, and she really didn’t know what to say.

"Are you certain this film wasn’t started a long time ago?" Shen Junlan had been in contact with quite a few famous directors and knew a bit about filmmaking.

She privately thought that to produce a work of such high completion, one that could truly be called a classic among classics, would take at least two to three years!

Yet Chen Wei had told her that from the beginning of filming to completion, it only took fifteen days, a mere half a month...

"I’m very sure. The early version that started the filming, which only featured Guo Quanyou’s edition, is indeed preserved. If you want to see it, I can have JM Entertainment send it to you," Chen Wei offered.

"No, no need." Honestly, after seeing Chen Wei’s version, Shen Junlan feared that watching Guo Quanyou’s version might ’dirty her eyes.’

Even though Guo Quanyou was once one of Great Xia’s three famous directors, the difference in quality was apparent, and it wouldn’t be reduced just because of Guo Quanyou’s fame.

Better or worse was clear at a glance.

"President Chen, do you have time later?" Shen Junlan asked.

"Yes, what’s up?" Chen Wei consented and then asked back.

"I really feel like having a drink right now. May I have the honor of your company?" Shen Junlan had actually planned this since early on; otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered with makeup and changing clothes.

After all, Chen Wei had rescued her from the clutches of a villain, and regardless of the movie, Shen Junlan ought to treat him to a meal to express her gratitude and thanks.

"Of course, it would be my honor." Chen Wei responded politely.

"Then let’s get going," Shen Junlan said, standing up, feeling that there was no time to waste.

"What about the movie?" Chen Wei followed up, inquiring.

"I’m very satisfied! I couldn’t find a single fault," Shen Junlan said and then suddenly stopped in her tracks, turning around.

Luckily Chen Wei braked in time; otherwise, he would have certainly bumped right into her.

"I see, that’s great," Chen Wei said with a smile.

In the meantime, he sent a brief message to Liu Meng on his phone, which read only three simple words, "Shen Junlan," plus an OK gesture.

Signaling that the issue was resolved and they could proceed with the normal workflow and begin the pre-release promotional activities.

Chen Wei had already prepared the second promotional video to raise the audience’s anticipation for the movie’s release.

Liu Meng also sent back an OK gesture, then set aside her phone, operated the computer, found that promo clip, logged into the official account, confirmed, and hit publish with one click!

Being one of the top entertainment companies in Great Xia, the process was very swift. Of course, this also had to do with the higher-ups being extremely satisfied with the movie.

In fact, they wished more than anyone else for ’Dominating the World’ to be released as soon as possible so they could visit the cinema and experience the dual feast of audio and visual in a professional setting.

Just watching it on a computer always felt like something was missing; it wasn’t perfect.

How could such a great movie not be paired with professional equipment and a proper venue?

Just ten minutes after the promo was released.

The comments had already easily surpassed ten thousand, nearing a hundred thousand, with the popularity maxed out.

With the media building momentum, "Dominating the World," the movie, was already being touted as "the first in history" and "a legend for a century" even before its release.

In the past, Liu Meng might have been worried, concerned that such public opinion could heighten audience expectations.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment; viewing experience would definitely be affected.

But this time, Liu Meng was not worried at all, because there was no way they could imagine just how outstanding "Dominating the World" would be.

It would definitely far exceed their expectations!

And in the comment section.

[Ahhh! When can we finally see it?]

[I heard from a sister inside that the review has ended, it’s probably a matter of days now]

[I’ve never been so excited for a movie like this, hurry up and release it, I’m already prepared to see it three, four times]

[Never thought spending money could be such a difficult thing]

[Guys, it’s announced, it’s coming out the day after tomorrow!]

...

The main reason they decided to release it the day after tomorrow was because Liu Meng felt there was absolutely no need to do any more promotions.

The current hype was already unprecedented and unparalleled!

Judging from her many years of experience, Liu Meng had a premonition that once the movie was released, it would surely be in such high demand that tickets would be hard to come by!

Sure enough, when it was announced that "Dominating the World" was about to be released, several new movies that had decided to premiere soon all announced they were pulling out, postponing their releases.

Fearing a total flop.

There were some who were sceptical, pouring millions into marketing, only to find that it made not a ripple.

No one cared, even if their movies featured the hottest new "little fresh meat" stars.

It just goes to show that the audience in this land is truly desperate for a good movie!

There was no other option; in the face of "Dominating the World," this behemoth, they could neither compete against it nor dare to provoke it, so they each chose to dodge out of its way.

The old saying goes, "If I can’t provoke it, surely I can still hide from it?"

...

Arriving at the hotel.

"Miss Shen?" Chen Wei called out several times, and when he saw that Shen Junlan didn’t respond, he reached out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Ah! Yes!" Shen Junlan suddenly came to her senses, her gaze shifting away from the screen, "Sorry, I was distracted."

In fact, she was startled by the unprecedented hotness of "Dominating the World."

On the trending searches list, more than half of the spots were about "Dominating the World."

Shen Junlan had a premonition that once "Dominating the World" was released, she, as the original author, would definitely reap both fame and fortune.

More people would know her name and seek her out for collaboration.

And her own physical novel sales network would be driven up as well.

Hiking up her worth by seven or eight times, even tenfold, Shen Junlan didn’t think it was an exaggeration.

All this, she owed to Chen Wei. At first, Shen Junlan really hadn’t expected that this young man could bring her such a big surprise.

Getting out of the car and looking at the five-star hotel in front of her, she thought, today she must properly reward him.
