I Don't Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System Chapter 498 : A Blockbuster Movie

Since ancient tis, righteousness has triumphed over evil, and the people's will can both support and overthrow a ruler. The tyrannical King Zhou, having lost the hearts of his subjects, was ultimately cornered at the beacon tower by the elite forces of the Zhou dynasty, falling in a pool of blood.

Su Daji watched as King Zhou collapsed. Dressed in a fiery red enchantress gown, she faced the righteous warriors.

Lifting her crimson skirt, she slowly walked towards the beacon tower engulfed in roaring flas.

The protagonist, Jiang Ziya, stroked his beard as he watched Su Daji's retreating figure and slowly said:

"As alluring as a celestial maiden, yet the vixen who brought down the Shang dynasty."

As his words faded, sparks began to dance on Su Daji's fla-colored dress. The firelight accentuated her bewitching face, making her even more captivating.

In the final mont before the flas consud her, Su Daji slowly turned her head towards the east—the direction she had gazed upon from the carriage when first looking towards her Su clan.

With Su Daji's final glance, a beam finally succumbed to the fire's assault and fell from above.

At this point, Su Daji's role officially concluded, and the film about the chaos in the Shang dynasty entered its final act.

It began to depict Zhou's "replacent of Shang" and their salvaging efforts, allowing the audience to witness the transition of dynasties.

As the end credits rolled, the film ca to a close.

However, the audience remained in their seats, knowing there would be a post-credits scene. The movie had been so captivating that everyone wanted to stay for the extra content.

After the credits finished, new footage quickly appeared on the black screen.

When the figure in the scene appeared, Su Qi overheard the two people near the cara start whispering again. As the movie was ending, they spoke a bit louder this ti, allowing Su Qi to hear clearly. One person said, "I waited all this ti, and you show King Zhou? What's so great about him?"

The other replied, "You don't know? This King Zhou is actually Su Daji's brother!"

"Holy shit, her brother-in-law."

Su Qi: ...

At the Fulai World Plaza in Zhejiang.

Lu Ran, having just finished watching the entire film, was exhilarated.

Although neither her son nor daughter had a happy ending in "The Chaos of the Shang Dynasty," she had to admit that they both acted superbly.

Especially her Little Qi. Though Lu Ran had seen many promotional clips showcasing her daughter's beauty, acting in a film requires more than just looks. Lu Ran had been worried that her daughter, having never acted in a movie before, might break character. But thinking about Su Daji's portrayal in the film she had just watched, Lu Ran, setting aside her role as Su Qi's mother, felt that her daughter had perford exceptionally well. She had perfectly embodied Su Daji's seductive and alluring nature to the extre.

Even Lu Ran, who had watched countless dramas, was pleasantly surprised.

After the movie ended, Lu Ran eagerly called Su Qi to share her thoughts.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Ran heard her daughter's sweet, girlish voice.

"Hello, Mom."

Lu Ran thought for a mont and teasingly said:

"Greetings, Empress Daji!"

Hearing her mother's playful tone, Su Qi on the other end of the line felt so embarrassed that her voice beca even softer and more endearing.

"Mom, stop teasing !"

Listening to her daughter's coy and flustered response, Lu Ran found her precious daughter even more adorable.

Afterwards, Lu Ran didn't hold back her praise, lavishly complinting her daughter.

Inside a certain courtyard in Beijing.

Director Zhang was ecstatic today.

Since the 8 AM showings of "The Chaos of the Shang Dynasty" began this morning, the box office sales had already surpassed 100 million yuan.

What kind of montum was this?

This was the montum of a blockbuster!

And most importantly, it was only 4 PM now.

It's well known that the pri ti for movie-watching is usually between 5-10 PM. After all, most working people tend to use this ti slot to relax.

Could today's box office potentially exceed 200 million?

Director Zhang felt a surge of excitent just thinking about this possibility.

At this mont, he clicked on the Douban ratings.

The current rating for "The Chaos of the Shang Dynasty" was an impressive 8.2.

The comnt section was filled with countless ssages. The top comnt, which had received 20,000 likes, was pinned at the top.

King of Salted Fish: Before the movie was released, I was only interested because Director Zhang is a veteran filmmaker.

Fang Hao playing the male lead Jiang Ziya and Su Siyang as the second male lead King Zhou were also quite anticipated. But after watching the movie, I just want to say: Empress Daji, will you teach how to trade stocks?

Second comnt: Caught a fellow stock enthusiast. Also begging Empress Daji to guide my investnts.

Third comnt: Am I the only one who wants Empress Daji to warm my bed?

Fourth comnt: Empress Daji, step on , please step on !

Fifth comnt: The comnt above is taking a walk.

After browsing through this comnt, Director Zhang began to read more reviews. As he went through comnt after comnt, Director Zhang discovered an unexpected phenonon in "The Chaos of the Shang Dynasty."

It seed that the popularity of the female supporting character, "Su Daji," had surpassed even that of the male lead and second male lead.

This change sparked an idea in Director Zhang's mind. After pondering for a few seconds, he picked up his phone and called that adorable little girl.

Su Qi had just hung up from her mother's praising call and was about to finish off the last piece of her barbecue-flavored McChicken when her phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Director Zhang calling, Su Qi felt a little guilty.

The guilt stemd from Director Zhang asking her to film promotional clips a couple of days ago. Due to Su Qi's low-key personality and her desire to avoid becoming more famous, she hadn't gone.

Now, as an actress who hadn't even contributed a bit to the box office of "The Chaos of the Shang Dynasty," she felt slightly negligent.

Nevertheless, Su Qi quickly answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, Su Qi heard Director Zhang's hearty laughter on the other end, followed by:

"Little girl, you've beco a sensation!"

Hearing Director Zhang's vigorous voice, Su Qi couldn't help but think how remarkable he was.

Despite being at retirent age, he still sounded so energetic and full of life. He seed even more spirited than many people in their twenties or thirties who were working regular jobs. It was truly impressive.

Although Su Qi marveled at Director Zhang's vitality, she wasn't surprised by what he said.

After all, the task previously issued by her system was to "surpass the popularity of the main character and beco the female lead." Now that the task was completed, it surely proved that her popularity was quite significant.

Director Zhang, knowing that Su Qi didn't want to develop her career in the entertainnt industry or beco famous, didn't try to persuade the little girl to film promotional clips this ti. Instead, he made a small suggestion: he wanted to make so minor adjustnts to the online promotional posters.

Given Su Daji's current popularity, Director Zhang naturally hoped to attract more viewers. So he wanted to make Su Daji's position on the poster more prominent to draw in more audience mbers.

After hearing Director Zhang's proposal, Su Qi didn't refuse. After all, the movie had already been fild, so changing the cover shouldn't be a big deal.

After agreeing to Director Zhang's request, Su Qi also honestly told him about her small plan to use the popularity of "The Chaos of the Shang Dynasty" to promote her own Qi Yun Investnt Co., Ltd..

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang felt that this little girl was truly considerate.

These kinds of promotional tactics were actually within the realm of celebrities' free activities.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, it generally wouldn't be a problem.

Thinking about how the obedient little girl had specifically asked for his opinion as the director, Director Zhang's impression of Su Qi improved even more.

After so thought, just before hanging up, Director Zhang said, "Little girl, when your company opens, let be your first client. I'll invest 10 million yuan to test the waters!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Qi was a bit dazed. Did she just land a big client?
