CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 95: NONE BUT LU KNOWS ME, SERIE A FANS ALL CURSE YOU (13,000-WORD MEGA CHAPTER) (PART 8)

"This film requires an extremely high level of emotional intelligence and IQ to comprehend. I don’t recommend it to those who are not very smart, because even if you watch it, you won’t understand."

"It’s the best movie I’ve seen this year—no, in the past three years, bar none!"

"Sofia’s performance is simply astonishing! She isn’t afraid of time; she is incomparably beautiful, yet daring enough to take on a role that intentionally ages her. I dare say, at first, no one realized that the mother of the deceased was played by Sofia!"

"God-like acting! I think it’s time for us to face a question: What did Sofia rely on to conquer all of Europe back then? For a long time, people believed it was her looks. I admit she is beautiful, but perhaps we have overlooked her acting skills."

"I cried! Really! Especially when Sofia finally tore off the silicone makeup from her face, revealing the image of a desperate yet determined woman."

"That final expression was incredible! Back when Sofia openly exposed some darkness, she showed that same expression in front of reporters’ cameras. It was a resolute determination! That requires immense courage! She must have thought she could die at the time!"

"The experiences of the past have shaped the Sofia of today! She has become even more perfect!"

"I absolutely have to go to the cinema to watch this movie a second and third time until I fully grasp it. Nothing is more exciting than a movie so worth savoring!"

"I think I might finally understand Sofia’s happiness! Lu Yang is absolutely a magical man; he is not just tough! His writing for the plot is amazing!"

It exploded!

The word-of-mouth completely skyrocketed!

On the day of the premiere, several cinemas in Italy received complaints.

There were many complaints, but the request was very consistent.

And that is whether they could remove those trash movies and screen "The Invisible Guest" instead!

The movie tickets for the second day were all reserved!

No movie this year has managed to do that until now.

Major cinemas immediately took action, all increasing the screenings of this film for the next day.

Even the smarter ones began adding screenings overnight, and believe it or not, those midnight showings quickly sold out!

Sofia also actively interacted with everyone on social media.

She tagged the fan who said they could feel Sofia’s happiness, replying, "My happiness is not limited to this; you probably can’t imagine it!"

This reply almost caused a social media crash at one point.

Lee Sung-hyun shed tears after reading it, and Qi Wei found it thought-provoking.

Countless people left exclamation marks below or comments like "Ahhh."

Many people thought Sofia was being suggestive.

But Sofia... indeed wanted to be suggestive.

On the morning of March 2nd.

"The Invisible Guest" opened to its first day’s box office in Italy.

1.5 million euros!

It ranked first for the year so far in Italy’s first-day box office.

It also ranked fifth in Italian film history for first-day box office!

When this box office number was released, all major media knew there was no need to guess.

This movie was a hit!

Because the four films that had higher first-day box offices than "The Invisible Guest" had much more promotional effort and screenings than "The Invisible Guest," but the first-day box office gap wasn’t that large.

What does this mean?

Profit!

Absolutely a huge profit!

With this first-day box office combined with the phenomenal word-of-mouth and countless people stating they would watch it a second or third time, the total box office for this movie could be terrifying!

It might even break some records.

This also sent a positive signal to theater businessmen in other European countries.

Although the screenings and showtimes were already agreed upon earlier.

But the enthusiastic response in Italy led everyone to unanimously decide to increase the screenings.

They didn’t want to miss out on an explosive opening day like the theater businessmen in Italy did.

Such an explosive reaction made March 2nd’s match day relatively bleak.

Not just in the Italian Third Division, but in all of Italy and even across Europe, the attendance for football matches dropped significantly.

Everyone flocked to the cinema to watch Sofia’s movie.

Before the start of the evening matches on March 2nd, the second-day box office of "The Invisible Guest" in Italy had already surpassed the previous day’s 1.5 million euros.

Today it was sure to set a new March single-day box office record in the Italian film industry.

At the same time, its European-wide box office today might also be terrifying.

In the evening, the 29th round of the Italian Third Division kicked off.

San Remo continued their winning streak.

Their offense was as unstoppable as Sofia’s movie.

Lu Yang scored twice and assisted once, earning the title of Man of the Match for four consecutive games. He had previously held this title for a time, with the streak ending in the 24th round against Allez.

In that game, San Remo stubbornly equalized the score, and although Lu saved the team due to Becher’s problem, his performance wasn’t the best. The Man of the Match was awarded to an opposing player.

Becher’s went all out, further integrating into the team and scoring twice with a scorching touch.

After Lu Yang drew all the opponent’s attention, it was almost impossible for Becher’s not to score.

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

Why compete for the core position? Following Brother Lu gets you plenty to eat!

Sogel, Fernandez, and Belletti each contributed an assist.

With five goals and seven assists, Fernandez’s talent may be slightly less than some others, but his on-field performance is very satisfying. Perhaps one day in the future, he will become a flagship player for San Remo!

Because the facts have shown everyone that in the era of Moneyball, the most talented players will ultimately leave the team.

Whether it’s C Luo or Messi!

Instead, some role players have a very good chance of being one-team men.

Belletti played five league games and achieved one goal and three assists.

Considering he mostly played as a substitute, his efficiency is terrifyingly high. No wonder he’s an unknown striker who once played in Serie A; coming to San Remo for poverty alleviation was indeed the right move.

Bai Zhami and Fernandez have both benefited enormously from Belletti.

And after Becher’s integration into the team, the two young players also frequently sought his advice.

Considering his summer departure depends on Lu Yang and Sotu’s decisions, Becher’s answered every question, fearing that the two would not learn anything.

He now has two main goals.

One is to play the role of role player well in San Remo.

The other is to impart everything he knows to Fernandez and Bai Zhami so they can partially replace him.

Only in this way will his departure this summer go smoothly.

Following this unnoticed game, the new day’s box office for "The Invisible Guest" was revealed.

In Italy alone, its single-day box office exceeded 2.3 million!

In major European box-office countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Spain, it captured the day’s box office title.

Preliminary estimates show that "The Invisible Guest," in less than three days of release in Italy and one day in Europe, has grossed a staggering 19 million euros!

It shook Europe!

All media reported the same headline, which was...

"She’s Back, Sofia!"
