"Love is Not Blind" did not stop its progress despite Liu Yifei's sentimentality and Yang Mi's deep regret; its box office continued to soar!
On Monday, November 14th, the box office was 22.2 million.
On Tuesday, November 15th, the box office was 20.2 million.
On Wednesday, November 16, the box office was 19.2 million.
On Thursday, November 17, the box office was 16.2 million.
On Friday, November 18th, the box office was 20.2 million.
On Saturday, November 19th, the box office was 24.2 million.
On Sunday, November 20th, the box office was 18.2 million.
With a box office of 140.4 million yuan in its second week, plus 230.5 million yuan in its first week, "Love is Not Blind" has been the box office champion for two consecutive weeks, accumulating a total box office of 370.9 million yuan, or about 370 million yuan. This is more than double the total box office of all other films released during the same period (including Hollywood blockbusters such as "Real Steel").
At this point, "Love is Not Blind" had already reached number 6 on the annual box office chart, and its box office performance was sure to surpass "The Founding of a Republic" (4.06 million yuan) and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" (4.02 million yuan), moving up two more places in the rankings. As for whether it could surpass "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (4.64 million yuan), which was ranked number 3 of the year, it would depend on the final box office results. All we can say is that "Love is Not Blind" has that opportunity.
Moreover, if we exclude Hollywood blockbusters, among domestic films, "Love is Not Blind" with 370 million yuan is second only to "The Founding of a Republic" with 4.06 million yuan. This means that "Love is Not Blind" will definitely be able to briefly win the title of "Annual Domestic Film Box Office Champion". As for how long "Love is Not Blind" can maintain this title, it depends on the release of the two mega-blockbusters "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" at the end of the year.

The phenomenal box office success of "Love is Not Blind" even surprised Jing Tian.
The second week's box office of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" reached 140 million yuan, which is enough to surpass the 7597 million yuan of the entire "Warring States" film. This doesn't even include "Love is Not Blind" (or "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber").
"The Sky" grossed 2.3 million in its first week.
No wonder Lin Feng rejected her film "Time Raiders" because of "Love is Not Blind". Although Lin Feng rejected her very tactfully at the time, he probably didn't like it at all!
Jing Tian was really envious of the high box office of "Love is Not Blind". She didn't care how much money she made. She just wanted to prove herself. She wondered when she could star in a movie with such a high box office as "Love is Not Blind"!
"Uncle Lu, for our next movie, we absolutely have to cast Lin Feng. As soon as the script is finalized, we'll send him an invitation. I really want to work with him, and if he's willing to participate, I'm open to kissing scenes and other intimate scenes."
Lu Zheng suddenly glanced at Jing Tian and asked, "Miss, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to this Lin Feng, would you?"
"No! Absolutely not! Uncle Lu, what are you thinking? I just think Lin Feng is amazing, I don't have any other thoughts." Jing Tian quickly added an explanation.
"No, that would be best! Otherwise, I'd have to talk to my family."
Then Lu Zheng explained methodically, "Miss, for your next two movies, I've planned action films for you. I'm going to invite Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen to act alongside you. Lin Feng isn't really suitable, is he?"
"I don't care, I just want to work with Lin Feng. Uncle Lu, I'm not being unreasonable or insisting on having Lin Feng. I have facts to back me up. Haven't you noticed that Lin Feng has never failed since his debut? Either his TV dramas are huge hits, or his movies are huge hits. Even his 'Buddha Mountain,' a lousy art film, grossed 1.52 million yuan!"
It seems that's really true! If that's the case, Lin Feng is indeed remarkable! His eye for choosing and selecting dramas is amazing!
Although Lu Zheng didn't know much about the entertainment industry, he knew that there were very few successful examples like Lin Feng in the industry.
But if Lin Feng's eye for talent is that sharp, would he still be interested in the film and television projects invested in by Starlight Brilliant?
"Let's talk about that later! But you're right, since Lin Feng is so capable, I'll definitely help you secure any future cooperation opportunities."
"Uncle Lu, thank you so much! That's great! By the way, do you think I should film a TV series? I see Lin Feng started in TV series, and now he can act in both movies and TV series—it's a two-way development!"
Jing Tian asked this question because Lin Feng had given her a suggestion before: hone your acting skills in TV dramas and build a fan base before you go into movies!
"You! You're not really suited for this right now. They act in TV dramas because they can't directly act in movies, but we can clearly act in movies, so why would we go into TV dramas!"
Moreover, the reason Lin Feng is acting in TV dramas is because he originally debuted in TV dramas, and it's fine for him to continue acting in them. But if we go into TV dramas now, it's easy for us to lose face!
"Well, I'm not too keen on acting in TV dramas either, but my movies can't fail again, otherwise audiences will start laughing at me for being a perpetually unpopular nobody!"
"Don't worry, Miss, I guarantee that the next two movies we'll be working on will be with top-tier stars. It's impossible for it to fail."
"I think so too! We didn't understand before, but now that we do, how can we fail every time!"

With the box office success of "Love is Not Blind," Chan Ching-ko is genuinely happy for Raymond Lam. Just a few days ago, she watched the movie with her friends from the "Sky of Hope" crew.
Lin Feng's performance in this movie was excellent. He's truly suited to be an actor, and he deserves to be famous! "Love is Not Blind" deserves to be a hit!
At this point, Wen Qingzi had completely let go of her feelings for Lin Feng, and she knew that it was impossible for them to be together again. There were no longer any emotional ties between them, and besides, the difference in their status was too great. Their status was mismatched before, and it was even more so now. She was just a small-time actress, while he was already a real superstar. And this movie, "Love is Not Blind," made Lin Feng's status soar once again. He was now among the top people in the acting industry, an absolute A-list star.
Although Lin Feng had said to Kan Qingzi when they met again, "If you need any help in the future, you can call me!", Kan Qingzi never bothered him.
A breakup is a breakup, and it should be clean and simple.
Kan Qingzi now hopes that Lin Feng can be happy and that he can stay popular forever. She will not bother him anymore, and besides, he already has Deng Shuang, so let Deng Shuang take good care of him for her!
Although Kan Qingzi will no longer bother him, it doesn't stop her from cherishing the relationship. During breaks from filming, she would occasionally look through old photos of the two of them on her phone and admire them. This must be a photo of their first date. This is a photo of the two of them eating barbecue by the roadside. Lin Feng still has oil on his lips. He likes to eat lamb skewers. These are such wonderful memories. She misses them very much.
Just then, as Ching-tsun continued admiring the photos of her and Lin Feng, a pretty little head suddenly popped up beside her, asking with great curiosity and gossip, "Ching-tsun, I've noticed you've been looking at your phone a lot lately. Are you secretly chatting with your boyfriend? Who is it? I don't believe anyone could be worthy of my beautiful Ching-tsun. They've actually managed to make our Ching-tsun so distracted that she can't eat or sleep."
This person is none other than Li Xin, a new friend of Chan Qingzi, who is also the female lead in "The Sky We Watch". Both of them are signed artists of Rong Xinda and have previously acted together in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
"What are you saying! He's not my boyfriend, that's not true," Kan Qingzi hurriedly explained.
"Hmph! Your expression has already given you away, and you still say it's not your boyfriend! Aren't we best friends? Tell me, I won't tell anyone, I'll help you check him out!"
"He's really not my boyfriend! What's with that look? Okay, I give up. I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm very discreet. I won't tell anyone. We're best friends, this is our secret!"
"Actually, he's not my boyfriend. To be precise, he's my ex-boyfriend." Chan Qingzi showed Li Xin the photos on her phone.
"Who is this? He's quite handsome, and you two are such a perfect match! How did you two break up? Is he also in the entertainment industry?" Li Xin asked curiously.
"He's in our circle, he should be considered a big star now!" Chan Ching-ko said with a smile. Although she and Lin Feng had nothing to do with each other anymore, she still felt a strange sense of pride, after all, they had been together.
"Is he in the industry, or a big star? Who is he?! This...this...isn't he the male lead from 'Palace' and 'Love is Not Blind'?! Yes! Lin Feng! No wonder he looked so familiar! He's Lin Feng!"
The usually gentle and refined Li Xin suddenly became excited, her little mouth chattering non-stop as she blurted out a series of questions, "Lin Feng is my favorite actor lately! How come I didn't recognize him at all? That can't be! But looking closely, although he still looks the same, his whole aura has really changed. No wonder they say fame makes one more attractive," she exclaimed, "He's so handsome!"
"Right! Lin Feng is your boyfriend! He's Lin Feng! He's your boyfriend, how could that be? I'm not saying you're not good enough for him, I'm saying he's Lin Feng! Um, ex-boyfriend is fine too, how did you two get together? How did you break up? He's Lin Feng!"
Looking at the agitated Li Xin, Kan Qingzi felt a pang of regret. She should have known better than to bring it up. She hadn't expected Li Xin to suddenly become so talkative. What hurt Kan Qingzi even more was Li Xin's unintentional attitude: "He's Lin Feng!" She was tired of hearing it. So what if he was Lin Feng! What hadn't they done together?
After a long while, Li Xin finally calmed down. Still a little incredulous, she asked again, "You! Kan Qingzi! You were with Lin Feng before?"
"Li Xin, what do you mean?! You said before that no one was good enough for me, how come you've changed your mind now?!"
"The past was the past, because I didn't know it was Lin Feng. Now it's the present, and this is Lin Feng! You're lucky, after all, you were together, and it was the best time of your university years. No wonder you miss it so much!"
If I were you, I would definitely do the same. I would print out all the photos of the two of us and stick them on the wall so I could see them every day!
Qingzi, you little devil, you've been hiding this so well! I was wondering why you weren't saying anything when we watched the movie "Love is Not Blind" and talked about Raymond Lam. Turns out you two were having an affair! You must have laughed at us back then!
"Oh! I knew it! No wonder you ignored so-and-so when they were pursuing you the other day. Turns out you had better options before and looked down on these ugly ducklings!"
"Li Xin, you're really something else today! I think you're desperate for a man!"
"I did think about Lin Feng!"
"You little brat, you're just trying to annoy me!"
After playfully bickering for a while, Li Xin asked curiously, "Qingzi, how did you two break up? It's such a pity! Why?"
"It's just that the two of us weren't compatible, and we lost our feelings for each other. Plus, around that time, I had just signed with our company and wanted to focus on my career, so I proposed breaking up."
Li Xin, don't you think I'm ridiculous? I haven't made it in my career, and I've lost my love life too. Actually, I regret it a little, but I can't go back.
Kan Qingzi grabbed Li Xin and cried. She still loved Lin Feng, but she knew that the two of them were impossible. She just wanted to vent her emotions.
Li Xin hugged Chan Qingzi and comforted her, "Since you two were truly together, it means Lin Feng still has feelings for you. You can go after him again!"
"No! It's impossible for us now, and he's already found someone better. I won't bother him anymore!"
Just as Chōko finished speaking, she suddenly received a message, which appeared directly on her phone screen. It was from Lin Feng: "Thank you! I was too busy before and didn't notice your message. Thank you for your concern. Let's get together again sometime."
At this moment, Kan Qingzi said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, I was just being polite and showing concern between friends."
"Hmph! I don't believe a damn fool! I think you don't need any teaching at all! You're still up to your old tricks!"
Since the huge success of "Love is Not Blind," Lin Feng has received countless congratulatory messages. Some are from his college classmates, some from his former film crew, and some are from people he doesn't even know who somehow got his phone number. Even Zhang Han, who usually doesn't get along with Lin Feng, surprisingly sent him a congratulatory message. In short, whenever Lin Feng turns on his phone, it's filled with all sorts of messages and missed calls.
Lin Feng didn't reply to those he didn't know.
For those with whom he had a casual relationship, Lin Feng replied directly to the group chat.
Lin Feng only personally replies to those he has a good relationship with, such as Zhu Yilong and Chan Qingzi. Even so, it's impossible for Lin Feng to reply to everyone individually. In the end, Lin Feng also replied to everyone on Weibo: "I sincerely thank every friend for their blessings! I have received all your messages. I am too busy to reply to each one, but I am full of gratitude. Please forgive me!"
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to my dear fans. It is your unwavering support and love that together created the box office miracle of "Love is Not Blind"! This honor belongs to each and every one of us!
I will work even harder in the future to bring you better works! Thank you everyone!
Lin Feng's thank-you Weibo post quickly rose to the top of Weibo's trending topics list in less than half an hour, with the hashtag "Lin Feng personally thanks everyone!"
"Wow! My dear Fengfeng, the movie 'Love is Not Blind' is really good! I watched it twice, and I even let everyone around me watch it!"
"I graduated so many years ago, and I never followed any celebrities when I was younger. I never thought I'd start following celebrities now that I'm older. My friends say I'm silly, but I feel really happy!"
"What's so special about that? I'm a mother of two now, and I love watching idol dramas at home. My favorite is Raymond Lam. Being a fan makes you feel younger; even my husband says I'm getting younger with age!"
Influenced by the soaring box office of "Love is Not Blind", Lin Feng's Weibo followers have once again surged, from 3 million to 5 million. Moreover, his fan base has a wider reach, encompassing almost all female fans.
The core audience of the "Meteor Shower" series is students aged 12-20, the core audience of "Palace" is women aged 15-30, the core audience of "Buddha Mountain" is young women with artistic tastes, and the core audience of "Love is Not Blind" is older single women and urban white-collar women. It can be said that Lin Feng now has fans ranging from girls aged 12 to 50, girlfriends, and mothers, making his base more stable.
However, Lin Feng remained humble. Although the box office of "Love is Not Blind" continued to rise, he had already returned to the "Painted Skin 2" crew. He needed to finish filming "Painted Skin 2" before the promotional tour for "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen."
Filming assignment.
When Lin Feng returned to "Painted Skin 2" now, he was completely different.
