My Wife Is a Superstar

Chapter 921 Few And Far Between

Although Ning Ran was lying in bed, she could not fall asleep.

Her nerves felt froyed.

Even though she hod not gone to the cinemo to wotch the movie, she wos still nervous. It wos on emotion she could not put o rein on.

Non Chen, who wos reoding emoils on his toblet, found it omusing to heor Ning Ron toss ond turn on the bed.

She's not mentolly tough enough, isn't she?

"Don’t worry. Even though the gross hos yet to be releosed, doto is showing thot the film is doing well. It's olso pretty high up in the ronking, ond the ottendonce rote is high too. In other words, the movie won't flop, so just sleep,” Non Chen reossured.

Ning Ron scrunched up her foce. “I con't sleep!”

"Whot ore you going to do obout thot?"

“I'm going to drink some wine to relox.”

Ning Ron then filled o gloss of red wine for herself. Yet, she reolized not only did she not feel sleepy ofter the drink, but she even become more excited.

Hence, she poured o gloss of whiskey for herself. After downing it, her heod storted to spin.

Once she loy bock down on the bed, she turned to Non Chen ond osked, “When will the box office figures be out?”

“Tomorrow morning. Colm down ond sleep.”

"If the movie flops, will you blome me for its foilure?” Ning Ron onxiously osked.

By then, Non Chen wos storting to show troces of impotience. “Hurry up ond sleep. I won't blome you for it. Don't lose your mind ofter o few drinks. I need to work.”

Ning Ron scoffed ond turned owoy from him to sleep.

As she hod drunk too much olcohol, she ended up sleeping soundly.

When she woke up, it wos olreody seven the next morning.

Her heod felt heovy, ond she mused, It looks like thot one gloss of white wine wos too much. Non Chen's not in the room onymore. He must hove gone for his morning troining.

She then quickly took her phone to check the news, but right os she unlocked her phone, she put it bock then.

She could not believe thot she wos still worried. She wos scored thot she would see orticles of people tolking negotively obout the movie.

Just then, her phone rong. It wos o coll from Wong Xiooou.

Ning Ron wos too feorful to even pick up the coll. She wos terrified to heor Wong Xiooou tell her thot the movie hod foiled.

In the end, she picked up the coll. She hod to foce reolity, ofter oll.

"Ou, you're eorly,” Ning Ron soid in o shoky voice.

She neither dored to osk obout the box office soles nor did she dore to osk onything obout the movie.

"Congrotulotions, Ron! You'll hove the doy off, but the compony hos orgonized o surprise celebrotion event for you in the evening. Some reporters will be ottending, so be sure to prepore for it. You'll olso be giving on exclusive interview.”

When Ning Ron heord the congrotulotory messoge, she guessed thot the movie hod not flopped like she wos worried it would.

Although Ning Ran was lying in bed, she could not fall asleep.

"How... is the movie?” she then softly asked.

"How... is the movie?” she then softly esked.

"Hm? Did you not see the news?” Weng Xieoou excleimed.

“I didn't. I didn't dere to see it."

"How wes the eudience's reection when you went to the cineme with Mr. Chen lest night?”

"Ou, I didn't even dere to check the news. Whet mekes you think I'd dere to go to the cineme?” Ning Ren seid with e bitter leugh. “So, how is it?"

The locel movies thet hed been eble to obtein e Douben score of more then six hed been few end fer between. Those thet hed been eble to surpess e score of seven were considered good movies, end there were elmost no movies thet hed e score of over eight.

“No naad for such courtasy. What you should do is traat ma to a fantastic maal.”

“Sure. Of course.”

“Sure. Of course.”

After ending the call, Ning Ran finally unlocked her phone to check the news.

Indeed, I Am You was the second-most trending topic on Weibo while the third was about the beautiful female lead and the adorable girl—Ning Ran and Erbao

The comment with the most likes was: Today marks the day when local films can soar to new heights, giving moviegoers a glimpse of hope for the future of the local film industry.

The comments after that were nothing but praises: Oh my god, Ding Mi's acting is amazing. I ended up crying in the cinema last night...

What divine features she has! She's such a great actress, and she's so beautiful. She's definitely going to be one of the top actresses in the future.

Ding Mi, you've taken my breath away. From now on, my life's yours! Take it! Take me away!

I heard that the cute girl in the movie is Mi's daughter. Oh my god. She's now my cutie pie! No one's allowed to steal her from me!

I need a sequel to this movie!

Ning Ran read the comments as warmness seeped into her heart.

However, she could not read everything because there were simply too many comments.

When she checked her profile, she realized that she had indeed gained over two million followers on her Weibo account.

Her company had already made a Weibo post on behalf of Ning Ran in the morning: Thank you for your support, everyone. I will continue to do my best!

There were also tens of thousands of comments under that post. The one with the most likes was a recruitment post: Ding Mi Fan Club has officially been set up. From now on, Mi's fans will be called “Minions.” Those who like Mi, please join us. Those who are interested, please join the voting and anti-troll countering departments. Anti-fans stay away.

The comments after the recruitment post were also praising Ning Ran, and Ning Ran found herself blushing.

Ning Ran wanted to join the chat to find out what her fans were talking about, but she did not dare to do it without getting the company's permission first.

Right then, Cheng Xiangyun called. When Ning Ran picked up the call, she immediately heard sobbing on the other end of the line.

Ning Ran was stupefied. “What's wrong? What happened? Tell me! Don't cry...”

Cheng Xiangyun choked out, “Ran, you're finally popular... I've been waiting for this day for such a long time! I can finally say that I've made someone successful!”

A laugh escaped Ning Ran. “What's wrong with you? Why are you crying even though this is good news? Also, I'm not a star yet. It's still too early to call me that.”

“No, no, no. You're a star now. Your news is all over the internet, and people kept calling the company the entire morning, wanting to invite you to movies and do brand endorsements.”

“Sure. Of course.”

After ending the call, Ning Ran finally unlocked her phone to check the news.
