Actually, Tatiana had tried to join forces with movie theaters to boycott Wandering World.
But when everyone saw its profitability, they began to schedule more showtimes, attracting even more viewers.
At this moment, Tatiana’s assistant walked into her office and reported nervously, “Miss Fernandez, our rating has dropped below six.”
“What about theirs?”
The assistant hesitated, knowing Tatiana was referring to Maxine’s film, before saying, “Their rating is 9.6.”
Typically, movie ratings peaked upon release and gradually declined over time.
However, Maxine’s film maintained an impressive 9.6—a rare achievement.
In a fit of rage, Tatiana smashed a nearby vase.
“Damn it! Why?”
“Miss Fernandez, please don’t be angry,” the assistant tried to console her.
“Honestly, I think Maxine’s film isn’t as good as yours. But her boyfriend is Norton, and with Andrew supporting them, it’s really hard for us to win.”
Tatiana froze, surprised.
Maxine… was actually Norton’s girlfriend?
She gradually calmed herself and gave the assistant a few instructions.
Meanwhile, the entire internet was abuzz with discussions about the three latest sci-fi movies.
Public opinion on the ratings had shifted drastically.
The once top-rated End of the Earth had plummeted to the bottom, Wandering World had soared to first place, and John’s film now sat squarely in the middle.
“I thought John’s film would be the best,” someone commented.
“He’s a true master of sci-fi, but it still doesn’t quite measure up to Wandering World.”
“Wandering World is absolutely incredible. Its theories are so well-grounded—it’s the kind of movie you can watch over and over again.”
“Totally! I’ve seen it three times, and I learned something new each time.”
“Are you serious? A lot of people in my theater thought it was boring. Everyone was complaining as they left. I really don’t get the hype around Wandering World.”
“Same here. I went because of all the rave reviews online, but after watching it, I thought it was just… okay.”
Initially, Wandering World was universally praised, but gradually, dissenting opinions began to emerge.
At first, netizens dismissed these critics—after all, every good movie had its detractors.
But soon, troubling news began to surface, chipping away at the goodwill surrounding Wandering World.
“Do you know why Wandering World is so popular? The two major families of Lorpond are backing it.”
“Please elaborate.”
“Don’t you know Norton is Maxine’s boyfriend? He’s the heir of the Santos family, and Andrew is Isabella’s boyfriend. These two practically control half of the country’s economy. Whoever they decide to support can become popular. It’s as simple as that! That’s why, even if you think Wandering World isn’t that great, you still see so many people promoting it.”
“My goodness, is that true? Maxine is actually relying on wealthy men?”
“Ugh, disgusting! Maxine, how could you stoop so low?”
“I refuse to believe it! I like Maxine so much—how could she do something like this?”
Fueled by trolls, the tide of public opinion began to turn.
Some even went as far as deliberately leaving negative reviews for the film.
Norton, unable to tolerate the escalating smear campaign, erupted in anger and took to Twitter.
“It was me who pursued Maxine. She didn’t want to be with me at first and prefers to keep a low profile after we started dating. Maxine’s success is entirely the result of her own hard work—it has nothing to do with me.”
“Is someone stirring up trouble just because their film can’t compete with hers? If I catch anyone posting defamatory comments about Maxine again, you’ll regret it!”
Norton didn’t stop there.
He immediately instructed his company to cut all ties and refuse any collaboration with Global Entertainment.
Tatiana soon came across Norton’s tweet.
She had been hoping to collaborate with Norton’s company, as she was in the midst of preparations for a major fashion show.
Global Entertainment had reached its zenith in the entertainment industry and was now branching out into other ventures, including fashion design.
Fashion had become a highly lucrative market.
In Lorpond, the Santos family and Homelight Enterprise were the leading luxury clothing brands.
Homelight Enterprise had outright dismissed any potential collaboration, leaving Tatiana to approach a company under the Santos family’s umbrella.
But her proposal was quickly declined.
Frustration and regret weighed heavily on her—offending Norton had been a grave error.
Yet, the damage was already done, and there was no undoing it.
With no choice but to move forward, Tatiana redirected her efforts toward managing the fallout and focusing on her movie.
The next day, the trolls’ campaign had spread far and wide, ensuring the news reached countless people.
Many netizens, harboring a deep-seated resentment toward the wealthy, quickly turned their ire on Wandering World.
The movie’s rating kept falling.
Meanwhile, Tatiana’s film finally showed signs of recovery, with its rating starting to climb.
Klein Group.
“Inform Mr. Klein about the situation and get his instructions on how to proceed.”
Evita, busy at her desk in the secretary’s office, received the directive with a raised eyebrow.
Glancing at the task file, she noticed it included Tatiana’s tweet, where Andrew’s name was explicitly mentioned.
Her lips pressed into a thin line as she nodded, grabbed the document, and headed to the CEO’s office.
She knocked on the door, but no one responded.
Curious, she gently pushed it open and noticed the door was slightly ajar.
Is Andrew not here? Peeking inside, she spotted him stretched out on the sofa, apparently asleep.
He was always burdened with responsibilities, and seeing him so fatigued stirred an unexpected pang of sympathy in Evita.
Without thinking, she instinctively walked over and draped a blanket over him.
Perhaps it was because he was the first man to show her kindness since her family’s troubles.
Andrew was in a deep sleep, his breathing steady and calm.
