His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 Boss Iris VS - Prince Lin Lin

The elevated status of "Strong Yet Broken" to a socially relevant film improved its performance at the box office. The longer it played at the cinemas, the more interest it garnered. LX Productions managed to negotiate with the theatres to extend its cinema run. Its viewership was only growing with each passing day.

Its sales trajectory was also the exact opposite of the other movies released at the same time, including the blockbusters. Compared to "Strong Yet Broken" which opened modestly, the others already reached their peaks within the first two weeks. Their ticket sales began gradually declining and many of them were already taken off the cinemas. On the contrary, the sales of "Strong Yet Broken" were increasing in a steady manner week after week.

There were also several talks among experts in the film industry of its eligibility to join various international film festivals. They thought that the film had a good chance of making it to the final selections.

This speculation was only reinforced when they heard that LX Productions rejected offers of an international release in foreign movie theatres at this time. It was because most film festivals didn’t accept movies that had been released anywhere other than their country of origin. Since LX Productions was containing the film within the country for now, then perhaps they were really planning to join international film festivals next year.

As for Iris’ soundtrack album, it held a comfortable number 2 position in the music charts. JJ wanted her to overtake the number 1 song held by the formidable duo of veteran singers, but it was proving to be difficult.

This only made it apparent that Iris Long still had a long way to go. Her music was high quality, but there were other musicians especially the veterans who could also produce quality music. If both sides had music of similar levels, then the winner would be decided by status and popularity.

Iris Long was only beginning to stabilize her music career, while the two veterans had already grown deep roots in the industry for decades. Their experiences and connections to the masses weren’t something Iris could obtain in a short amount of time.

Although she couldn’t obtain the top spot in the music charts this time, she wasn’t bothered. The music charts rankings were only an afterthought to her. Besides, she thought that the number 1 song was really good as well.

The music charts this time lacked drama. There were no fierce competitions. The fans wanted some action and excitement but they could only be disappointed.

That was until one day, Jin Chonglin posted an official announcement on his blog. He wrote:

"The year is almost ending. My hiatus will also be ending soon. I am excited to announce that I will be coming back some time after the new calendar year with a new album. This album is extra special because I wrote all of the songs myself. It’s partly a rediscovery of my core musical style and partly a reinvention of myself as an artist. You’ll soon be able to meet a new Jin Chonglin and listen to my new album before Spring Festival. Please look forward to my comeback because I can’t want to see you all again. I hope that you’ll support my upcoming album titled ’Hey, It’s Me’. See you soon!"

The post was shared and confirmed by Bright Summit and the record label producing Jin Chonglin’s music.

As soon as it was posted, his army of fans went into frenzy. The anticipation only heightened when Jin Chonglin began releasing a music video teaser and promotional posters. His upcoming album trended online and even became the headlines in the entertainment news.

Many were already predicting that Jin Chonglin would slay the music charts once he made his comeback.

That was until JJ’s record label released its own announcement on its website and social media pages. The announcement said:
