“The ‘Four Great Constables’ series has three parts. These three films didn’t lose much money, otherwise, they wouldn’t have made three, but the box office wasn’t high, so they probably didn’t earn much either.
“Do you know the most outrageous thing about this movie? You played ‘Ruthless’, one of the Four Great Constables, and to let you play, they forcibly changed the character to a female.”
“The costumes and props were also hard to describe; your costume looked like you were wearing a sack. Later, some people said you looked good even in a sack…”
“Also, in this movie, you were the female lead, but your performance was so bland, it was an ineffective performance. It wasn’t even as popular as a bathing scene from your green tea classmate, Jiang Yiyan.”
The Little Girl found her point of interest: “Green tea classmate, are you talking about Prapa? What happened?”
Chen Hao actually didn’t like to badmouth people behind their backs, but he really disliked this green tea, so he didn’t care.
“This classmate of yours is a famous green tea in the entertainment circle, with many scandalous actions, such as being a volunteer teacher, a famous architect, and so on.”
“Regarding you, when you were on a show together, she publicly mocked you, saying you rarely went to school and were almost never seen there. The eye-roll you gave then was a classic scene in romance of the entertainment circle.”
The Little Girl gritted her teeth and said, “Continue talking about the works.”
“‘The Assassins’ was an epic bad movie. You played Lingju, the daughter of Lu Bu and Diao Chan, who was trained as an assassin from a young age, then approached Cao Cao with her beauty to assassinate him. You had a bed scene with Huang Silang, which was incredibly ugly. The plot was indescribably bad…”
“‘For Love or Money’ was a Sino-Korean co-production. The script was clichéd, the love came out of nowhere, and these stories of Chinese actresses dating foreigners are really not well-received…”
“‘Outcast’ was a Hollywood project. You and Nicolas Cage, two box office poisons, collaborated. A talk show comedian described it this way: This movie was released on Qingming Festival, and it died horribly. Audiences burned their movie tickets after watching it, it was so festive…”
“‘The Third Way of Love’ – there’s not much to say about the plot of this movie, but because of it, you and the Korean male lead announced your relationship. Dating a Korean, whether it was real or hype, in short, this was your biggest black mark in the later period…”
“‘Night Peacock’ was a Sino-French co-produced art-house film. The film company used a poster of you with your entire back exposed for erotic marketing. But it was useless, only winning a few minor awards, and the box office wasn’t high, a loss…”
“‘So Young’ was indescribably bad. The male lead was later convicted of rape and group lewdness, sentenced to 11 and a half years. This person debuted as an idol, known for not being able to act, and in this movie, you were actually overshadowed by him…”
The Little Girl was a bit collapse: “Is my acting really that bad?”
Seeing the Little Girl was a bit broken, Chen Hao said mischievously: “Don’t worry yet, you won an award for the next two movies.”
Finally, there was good news, and the Little Girl immediately perked up.
Chen Hao said with a smile: “You had two movies released in the same year, ‘three lives three worlds ten miles of peach blossoms’ and ‘The Chinese Widow’. These two films earned you an annual award.”
The Little Girl excitedly asked: “What award is it?”
Chen Hao: “The Golden Broom Award, which is similar to the Golden Raspberry Awards abroad.”
The Little Girl’s vision went black. She knew about the Golden Raspberry Awards, the worst actor of the year award.
Is this what you meant by winning an award? I really want to smash your dog head!
Chen Hao continued: “The organizers’ commentary: In ‘three lives three worlds ten miles of peach blossoms’ and ‘The Chinese Widow’, Liu Yifei used a method of pretending to be artistic but actually being ignorant, to cover up the shortcomings in her acting. This dull, so-called artistic style, made Liu Yifei’s facial expression like a stagnant pool, presenting an imagined calmness…”
The Little Girl was furious: “Skip, skip, just say the next one!”
Chen Hao’s next words were slightly better: “Your next movie is ‘Hanson and the Beast’. Actually, I quite liked this movie. Although the plot was still a bit bad and the lines were idiotic, you played a shapeshifting fox spirit, which was very suitable for the role. I personally think it’s the best of all your movies, but unfortunately, the investment was a bit high, nearly 200 million invested, with less than 300 million at the box office, still a loss.”
“Your last movie was ‘Mulan’, released in 2020, a Disney super A-class big production, with an investment of 250 million US dollars, but it was also the film with the biggest loss.”
“Actually, the loss of this movie has little to do with you, because the director was a foreigner, and your makeup was so ugly, people were led to say it was Japanese makeup.”
“And the plot was also the foreigners’ ‘I thought’ and ‘taking for granted’, resulting in it pleasing neither the East nor the West.”
“But no matter the reason, ultimately you were the big female lead in this movie, so after this movie flopped, you never had another movie to film…”
After Chen Hao finished speaking, the Little Girl was in a daze for a long time. This couldn’t even be described as a box office poison; it should be called a jinx. Is there any other lead actor in the entire film history who has continuously flopped 19 movies?
The Little Girl was still emo, and Chen Hao began to add insult to injury with his venomous tongue: “Life is just like that, always up and down, down, down, down…”
But he didn’t mention at all the three hit TV series that Fairy Sister had in the next three years.
However, the Little Girl only emo for a moment before she snapped back to reality. That’s not right, these are all things that haven’t happened yet, why am I sad about this?
I’m different now, I have Uncle as a cheat, with him overseeing things, I definitely won’t make any more bad movies in the future.
I am indeed the chosen one, I want to be the box office queen, a people’s performing artist…
After their conversation, they had almost finished eating, so they got up and left.
Fairy Sister drove Chen Hao to Nanluoguxiang and parked the car in front of a siheyuan.
Although Chen Hao was a little curious, he didn’t ask and followed her inside. How bad could the intentions of a simpleton who could flop 19 movies in a row be?
This was a small, single-courtyard house. Although it was only a single courtyard, it was quite large, with two crabapple trees planted and a lotus stone basin in the middle where small goldfish could be kept. Though small, it had all the essential parts: the main house, ear rooms, east and west wing rooms, and the inverted-seat room were all present.
“Uncle, do you like it? It won’t be convenient for you to live in the dorm anymore, so this small courtyard is for you.” The Little Girl offered a string of keys as if presenting a treasure.
“What, do you want to keep me?” Chen Hao asked teasingly.
“Haha, with your current pretty boy image, you’re quite suitable for being kept. But this is just your dividend. You said before that siheyuan in Yanjing would appreciate greatly, so I bought a few sets. Sure enough, they’ve risen sharply in value in recent years, and my few courtyards have more than doubled in value.”
“So it’s not being kept?” Chen Hao was actually quite disappointed; he didn’t really mind being kept by Fairy Sister, after all, that’s what he did in his previous life.
