The director starts by learning from the abilities of renowned directors.

"Holy crap, who came up with this idea? It's fucking brilliant!"

"I can't take it anymore, this is hilarious!"

"Let's drag Yang Lei to the movies tomorrow. He'll laugh himself to death. This movie is pretty interesting."

The movie continues, and the jokes become more and more frequent.

To remind everyone, Li Jiahui repeatedly knocked the things on the table to the ground.

The Hollywood martial arts actor caught it precisely time and time again.

Guo Jingfei and Shen Teng both have a knack for comedy, and this plot once again made many viewers laugh.

Finally, Li Jiahui was so forced that he simply ripped off the tablecloth.

The real killer's identity has been officially revealed!

The murderer, played by Shen Qing, begins to fabricate stories for everyone.

The first version involved gambling debts, robbery, and murder, but it was quickly dismantled by Li Jiahui.

He quickly made up a second story.

When Li Jiahui pushed him to the limit, he blurted out that one of the three elders looked like his father, so he had to kill him.

Everyone hurriedly asked what was wrong with your father.

"My dad hit...he hit my horse."

As Shen Qing, playing the murderer, narrates, the scene flashes back to childhood.

The sound of whipping and a woman's screams.

Finally, the scene is shown: a man is whipping a horse, and a woman is too frightened to look.

"He hit your horse?"

"Then who should I hit? I call him 'Dad,' and he hits my horse. Is that right?"

Laughter erupted again in the not-so-full theater.

"Hitting my horse? The director and his team are so talented!"

"Awesome!"

"The screenwriter is a genius!"

"I call him Dad, and he hits me, is that right? Hahaha..."

Some people couldn't stop laughing, and even kept slapping their thighs.

Zhang Yuan and Su Wenjun almost burst out laughing, but after they stopped, they found that many audience members were still laughing, and they could vaguely hear someone mentioning Jay Chou's name.

What does this have to do with Jay Chou?

A boy who looked like a high school student in the next seat laughed and said, "What will Jay Chou's reaction be when he sees this movie? It's hilarious! Hahaha..."

Looking completely bewildered, Zhang Yuan nudged the man and asked, "Brother, what does this have to do with Jay Chou?"

The man laughed and said, "You don't know? These are lyrics from Mr. Zhou's song! I call him Dad, and he hits my Mom, is that right? The movie changed one word of the lyrics."

The film is packed with laughs as always, and the plot twists often catch the viewer off guard.

The group arrived at a stage, and Liu Yifei finally appeared, albeit in the form of a poster.

A poster of Liu Yifei was placed next to the stage.

She was the top courtesan last time.

To everyone's surprise, a large amount of blood was found. It turned out that not only had the murderer who killed the three elders arrived today, but the mansion itself had also become the crime scene of the three elders' case!

Lu Ziye simply locked the door, but the murderer accidentally unlocked the chains, and the story entered a "locked room mystery" mode.

Despite the tense atmosphere, jokes kept coming one after another, with the Hollywood martial arts actor contributing the most laughs.

As the plot unfolds, the group discovers that the nightingale's hair in the poster is fake, and that the murderer may have tried to escape by stepping on the painting to reach the ventilation duct.

Old mysteries are solved one after another, and new mysteries appear one after another, keeping people busy.

As the mystery was gradually solved, the killer finally revealed a completely new story.

Before the commander died in battle, he entrusted his daughter Nightingale to him, and he accompanied Nightingale to Shanghai.

He accompanied the nightingale to the selection of the most beautiful courtesan because she wanted to sing.

The two should have had a bright future and should have been living a happy life in Shanghai.

As a result, on the day Nightingale was chosen as the most beautiful courtesan, the three elders hung her up.

……

It was extremely cruel and disgusting.

It made the audience unconsciously clench their fists.

As the truth is gradually revealed, the villains who come to silence the witnesses make their appearance.

After Hai Zhaofeng was shot, he told Su Mengdie to go over, but Chen Xiaoda, played by Shen Teng, went instead. Hai Zhaofeng's line "Get lost!" made people both laugh and cry.

This movie is very special!

This is the sentiment of many viewers.

When Hai Zhaofeng was shot and died, the scene should have been filled with dramatic tragedy, but his line "Get out!" made people laugh until they cried.

Even at this point, the crew hasn't lost the humor that's inherent in their work.

After a fierce battle, the main characters finally escaped.

The case of the three elders was made into a movie by the main characters, and the movie was shown in Vietnam.

Li Jiahui vaguely saw a living nightingale, and the story took a shocking turn at the end.

So the nightingale didn't die!

Flashback.

Qi Leshan sat on the sofa, smoking, waiting for the police to break down the door. On the ventilation duct, looking at Qi Leshan who had given himself the only hope of survival, Liu Yifei, who played Nightingale, had tears in her eyes.

Viewers who were watching with carefree joy just a moment ago now felt as if they had been punched in the chest, and many unconsciously shed tears.

Li Jiahui reached out to call out to Nightingale, but at the last moment he withdrew his hand.

How could he reveal what Qi Leshan had protected with his life for the sake of the truth?

The main characters are heading to their next destination.

At the end of the film, newspapers report the collision between the two ships, in which all passengers perished.

Whether the main characters died or not became the final suspense of the movie.

The theater lights came on, and the audience gradually stood up.

Some people couldn't help but look back at the big screen as they walked out, as if afraid there might be a surprise ending later.

Some audience members whispered about the plot with their companions, their faces beaming with smiles.

Zhang Yuan and Su Wenjun mingled in the crowd, neither of them speaking, as if they were still savoring the plot.

Back in the ticket hall, Su Wenjun looked at the poster for "Making a Name for Oneself" again. Looking at Liu Yifei standing in the middle of the poster, he couldn't help but say, "Liu Yifei is so beautiful. Her beauty is different from Bai Xiuzhu's and Wang Yuyan's. This time, she is the beauty of a nightingale."

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "The scene in the ventilation duct was filmed really well. This movie is quite a pleasant surprise; the casting was a great success."

Su Wenjun said, "Liu Yifei's casting is perfect. No one else could have done it. She played the murderer so well, and that Hollywood martial arts actor could make people laugh without saying a word."

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go eat."

……

On the first day of the film's release, Shen Qing and the main cast visited several cinemas in Beijing to interact with the audience.

Originally, Liu Yifei was only making a cameo appearance, and the production team didn't want her to do all the promotional work. However, Liu Yifei took the initiative to go to several cinemas with everyone else.

Movie promotion is supposed to be exhausting, but Shen Qing has a strong constitution and was still full of energy the next morning.

The crew was still promoting the film in Beijing the next day when Zhao Hongwei called around noon.

Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she thought about why the other party had called.

When the call connected, it was exactly as he had expected.

"The box office figures for the first day are in: 120 million."

"It's alright, I'd say it's acceptable."

Shen Qing exhaled and said.

With 1.2 million on the first day, the total box office should be able to break 10 million.

For the market today, it's actually quite good that a film with such a small investment can achieve this result.

But to say that this result is particularly good is not really an assessment.

"The audience feedback has been pretty good. The main problem is the limited screenings. 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'Troy' are still the audience's top choices, and cinemas also prefer to screen these two films."

"Let's wait and see. The popularity of those two films will decrease as time goes on. The key is still the quality of our film itself."

"The Day After Tomorrow" has been in theaters for over 20 days, and "Troy" for 10 days. Before "House of Flying Daggers" is officially released, the popularity of these two imported blockbusters will likely continue to decline, giving "Fame and Fortune" a chance.

On the third day, Shen Qing led the main cast to Shanghai to continue promoting the movie.

Around noon, Shen Qing received another call from Zhao Hongwei.

"The box office figures for the next day are in: 210 million."

"It's gone up! That's a good sign!"

Shen Qing's spirits lifted.

The presence of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy" did take up a lot of screen time, but the release of these two films also ensured a basic flow of people to cinemas this summer.

Many viewers go to the cinema not just to watch one movie.

After watching "The Day After Tomorrow" or "Troy," if you see the poster for "Fame and Fortune" and have time, you might buy a ticket.

The third day of the film's release was a holiday, and the daily box office officially broke the 300 million mark.

While cinema managers were taken aback by the performance of this low-budget film, they urgently increased its screenings.
