CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 96: THAT’S IT? I THINK IT’S JUST SO-SO!

March 4th, Midweek.

The box office of "The Invisible Guest" inexplicably declines.

Although weekday box office numbers are naturally lower than weekends.

The drop in box office today is just too much.

This couldn’t help but please many who doubted Sofia’s success.

"I’ve always said this movie is just propped up by hype, it’s not that great."

"Those who exalted this movie to the highest level, they must be Sofia’s hired trolls, right? What, did Sofia run out of savings? Today, it’s not working?"

"Today is destined to be exciting; some people’s fake box office is finally being exposed, starting to show their true colors."

"A long road tests a horse’s strength, time reveals a person’s heart. Sofia’s movie faces a box office crash, fake will never become real!"

Their jumping around is really quite amusing.

Because they haven’t seen the situation clearly at all.

Due to the explosive success of "The Invisible Guest," Sofia’s influence is fully revived.

Her fans have all returned, waiting for this day for a long time.

Just like many celebrities such as Hu Ge, after a temporary retreat, once a work becomes a hit again, their reemergence is even more influential.

If Sofia was once "Kiss of Europa," then now this kiss mark is even deeper.

Because of this, when Sofia turned down promotional invitations from several countries and chose to appear at the Marassi Stadium in Genoa, Liguria Region, Italy on March 4th, the entire European football scene was ignited.

Because today, there’s an Italian Cup quarter-final match to be held here.

San Remo VS Sampdoria!

The Italian Cup has entered its core stage, for the fans’ consideration, and for impact and revenue, all matches must be held in big stadiums.

This is also one of the few cases in the Italian Cup where the lower-level team doesn’t get to enjoy a home game.

Even many Serie B teams have stadiums with capacities over 20,000 or even 30,000.

But San Remo is different, their stadium can only hold a few thousand people.

Of course, the Italian Football Association won’t let San Remo suffer a loss, they provided San Remo enough seats for fans and also set aside a large section for neutral fans, even arranging for San Remo to use the home team’s locker room at Marassi Stadium.

It’s known that this is Sampdoria’s home stadium.

So although San Remo didn’t enjoy home-ground advantage, Sampdoria didn’t have too special a treatment either.

Don’t forget how many neutral fans there are in this game, the seats they got far exceed those for either San Remo or Sampdoria.

Because this game has been completely changed by a woman, turning it into a much-anticipated event across All Europe!

Over 30,000 people poured into the stadium, the scene is absolutely grand.

Mr. Russell’s eyes sparkled in the luxury box, this is the atmosphere of a big stadium!

Not something village football can compare to.

City people’s joy, something San Remo previously couldn’t imagine.

But... will have in the future.

San Remo’s new stadium is under construction and is expected to be partially operational by the end of this year.

At the latest by mid-next year, it should be fully completed.

But before that, the team has to rent a larger stadium for the next season as well.

Not for a fivefold or tenfold increase in ticket sales, but to allow more San Remo fans to enjoy better services.

They are the driving force for San Remo’s never-ending progress!

In the stands, fans had already found their seats, there were even fans in the aisles.

The Genoa police force was almost all out today, working to maintain stadium order and security, to avoid large-scale incidents.

Before the players came out, the first wave of fan cheers erupted at the scene.

Because Sofia, escorted by security, seated herself in the VIP section.

She consistently sat in the spot closest to the field.

She wanted her cheers to be the first thing that man heard.

In the VIP section, there were many other celebrities too.

Football stars aside, once Lu Yang challenged the Serie A teams to prepare themselves as San Remo only plays the strongest, the whole Italian football scene was destined to be captivated by this match.

Apart from football stars, most of the celebrities came from the entertainment circle.

Some celebrities were invited by Sofia.

And some had to come through here to contact Sofia and secure some commercial collaborations in advance.

For instance, a famous director from the United Kingdom had a fake smile on his face as he told Sofia, "I’m very interested in San Remo, it’s a team with great potential, their matches are really exciting."

But in truth, in his heart, he was complaining, I have plenty of Premier League matches to watch, why would I come to watch a Third Division team’s game?

"Oh? Really? Then do you know who the shortest player on this team is?" Sofia asked.

The famous director was dumbfounded on the spot, such a tricky angle?

And on the field warming up was Morici, whose knee suddenly hurt, ouch.

Feifei, I’m your informant, why would you do this to me!

I’ll tell you again, 1.74 meters isn’t short!

There are many similar situations.

Most people outside the football circle came for Sofia.

They aren’t interested in the so-called Italian Cup quarter-final match.
