Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 1057

"So, we will continue to promote the film as planned. Nothing needs to be changed."

After hearing Tangning's arrangements, Long Jie felt like they had returned to the time when she first became an actress, "Do you still remember the ridicule you received when you first filmed 'Stupid'? So many people were waiting for you to be a box office flop."

"But, from 'Stupid' to 'Survivor', every single film you featured in, has created miracles in the box office."

"What's passed, is in the past. Let's keep our focus on what's ahead of us," Tangning reminded. "Don't ever dwell on past results. Otherwise, you will never view yourself clearly. Besides, who's to say that 'The Ant Queen' won't be a flop?"

"Knock on wood!" Long Jie yelled. "Who would jinx their own film like that?"

Tangning looked at Long Jie's reaction and laughed. She then downloaded Han Xiuche's videos onto her phone. Although she was being ridiculed, she had a feeling she'd be able to find clues about the culprit from these videos.

Of course, Mo Ting supported Tangning's decision...

...

That afternoon, Tangning and Mo Ting's living room was empty, but the entertainment news was playing.

"Two-time Fei Tian Best Actress, Tangning, is about to release her next project onto the film scene. But, not too long ago, some leaked footage was revealed online. Judging by the quality of the leaked videos, the film does not look promising. That's why, we are taking you with us today to Hai Rui to interview President Mo. Let's see if we can get some more accurate information from him."

Afterwards, the cameras turned to Mo Ting who was walking out of Hai Rui.

"President Mo, can you confirm whether the videos that are circulating online are real or not?"

"You will know as soon as the film's official trailer is released," Mo Ting replied.

After walking for one minute, this was the only response he gave. However, this response was almost the same as not responding at all. Even though, he indirectly hinted that the footage did not belong to Tangning's film. After all, if it did, then they couldn't possibly stick to their original marketing schedule.

It seemed, there were still a lot of doubts behind the authenticity of the leaked videos.

But, from the views of most people, Tangning was indeed a hard worker. For the sake of producing a good sci-fi, she even implicated Qiao Sen's life. However, hardworking and professionalism were two different things. Although Tangning was a meticulous person, there was still a possibility that her film would be a flop.

Because, this wasn't any normal film, this was a sci-fi film!

Sci-fi films were the most difficult.

Whether it was the filming process or post production, the audience could clearly see the results. It could not be faked.

So, the industry did not have high hopes for the film.

This wasn't because Tangning didn't know how to act or because she wasn't hardworking enough, but because she had chosen the most difficult path.

Tangning knew this truth better than anyone, but what did that mean?

Tangning looked at the list of upcoming films; there were strong ones and weak ones as well as a big American blockbuster, but the anticipation for her film had been decreased. Seeing this, Tangning felt a sense of familiarity. So, she laughed helplessly. Why did she experience situations like this everytime she worked on something new?

Meanwhile, Mo Ting was completely unaffected by everything that was happening. So, after Hai Rui did a final check on the trailer, they decided it would be released three days later in theaters throughout the nation.

Hence, during this entire incident, Tangning was once again contemptuous towards Han Xiuche's provocation.

"I can't believe you thought of doing this. You actually used this point to slander Tangning!"

From the sounds of it, his brother felt his actions were quite childish. But, he personally felt it was simple and direct; the best way to deal with Tangning!

The following few days, neither Hai Rui nor Tangning provided an explanation or served a face slap for the fake videos. Because, for Tangning, these videos practically never existed.

Meanwhile, Mo Ting had already arranged for the first round of promotional trailers to be released in three days time on a Sunday afternoon.

As it was the weekend, people were expected to gather at the theater. After the theaters spoke to Hai Rui, they immediately agreed to play the trailer...

So, on that particular afternoon, film fans entered the theater without any expectations. When the first trailer started playing, they were shocked by the sudden appearance of a huge ant on the theater screen. However, they felt excited because the footage was too captivating.

Afterwards, a few other exciting scenes appeared on the screen, but everyone's focus was placed on a particular person...

...the male lead...

This man that made people feel cautious, was Mo Ting!

Following on, the director's names appeared on the screen: Qiao Sen and An Zihao!

Then, the producer's name appeared: Tangning!

After the 20-second trailer was over, the name of the movie finally appeared on the screen: 'The Ant Queen'!
