However, Theresa's fans did not admit defeat.
In the end, because the matter happened too long ago and there was no actual evidence, it became- confusing on the Internet.

Looking at the pre-sales of Love in Bitter Winter, Henri couldn’t help laughing.
Previously, he was worried that this movie would make a splash.
Now he felt he had thought too much.
It was just an art film. On a happy day like New Year's Day, who would want to watch a sentimental art film? Henri ordered his marketing team to continue criticizing Love in Bitter Winter while secretly gave likes to the tweets that indirectly attacked Theresa, leading his fans to go on cursing Theresa.
Henri even found a lot of people, asking them to give Love in Bitter Winter low scores after it played.
In this way, Love in Bitter Winter could not gross more money through word of mouth.

Happy Goats earned over 25 million dollars.
Tiger and Dragon earned 15 million dollars.

He checked the scores of Love In Bitter Winter.
Henri laughed even harder.
The score of Super Detective 2 on the opening day was 8.9 points.
Love in Bitter Winter got 5 points.
Henri closed the webpage.
He felt he shouldn't have regarded Love in Bitter Winter as an opponent. It didn’t deserve it at all.
Super Detective 2 made a hit on the opening day.
Henri was interviewed by a movie magazine.
The reporter asked, “Mr. Maxwell, your movie had the most opening day sales on New Year's Day. | wonder if you have anything to say about the other movies released on the sday.” Henri smiled gently and said, “I can only say that everyone should do their best. The rest will be judged by the audience.” The reporter's eyes flickered as he asked bluntly, “Love in Bitter Winter was also shown on New Year's Day.
Something unhappy seemed to have happened between you and the heroine of this movie. This time, Love in Bitter Winter only earned four million dollars on the opening day. | wonder if you have anything to say to your opponents about this.” Henri smiled and said, “Opponent? Who are you talking about?” After that, Henri ended the interview.
3/7 opponent”.
The news praised Henri and Super Detective 2 to the skies.
As for Theresa and Love in Bitter Winter, of course, they were described as ignorant challengers.
The crew of Love in Bitter Winter and Theresa were particularly quiet in the face of the negative comments.
Henri was even prouder.
He guessed that Theresa had probably admitted defeat and didn’t dare to argue with him anymore.
Three days later.
Henri’s agent said worriedly, “The sales of Super Detective 2 fell a little too fast. Except for the paid posters we hired to give high scores, the real audience doesn’t seem to think highly of it.” Henri took a casual look at the real comments shown by his agent.
“Oh my, this movie can’t even compare with the first one. It’s called a detective movie, but the plot can’t stand up to scrutiny at all.” “I just want to ask whether it’s a detective movie or an action movie.” “Henri is so disappointing. Why didn’t they let the leading actor of Super Detective 1, a newcomer, continue to act?” “I heard that after Super Detective 1 becpopular, Henri used his connections to force the new actor away and act in Super Detective 2. However, he only made such a piece of shit. | can only give this movie one point.” Henri snorted and said with a poker face, “These people are just jealous! Although the sales of our movie have declined, it’s still the top-selling movie, isn’t it? In this world, sales are everything. As for these people, just let them say whatever they want.” 4/7 Chapter 329 Henri acted as if he didn’t care at all. The agent had no choice but to find someone to control the comments while secretly praying that the movie sales would drop slowly.
But things went contrary to his wishes.
It was impossible to hide the real comments on a movie.
Five days later, Super Detective 2 fell to second place at the box office. Happy Goats earned 2 million dollars more than it.
Six days later, the sales of Super Detective 2 continued to plummet, and it fell to third place with daily sales of six million dollars, which was equal to that of a cartoon.
Looking at the falling trend, Henri was a little panicked.
He worked hard in various places to promote the movie, but the effect was getting worse day by day.
The only thing that gratified Henri was that due to his undermining, although the reputation of Love in Bitter Winter improved a little, its sales remained low.
Henri could only comfort himself in this way. He thought, ‘Anyway, we've got back our investment in Super Detective 2. It doesn’t matter that the incis not as good as expected. Love in Bitter Winter hasn't even earned one-tenth of the investment yet.” Henri’s malicious pleasure didn’t last long before he received a piece of shocking news.
Love in Bitter Winter had secretly gotten in touch with foreign cinemas.
A week after New Year's Day, it was released abroad.
For sreason, Henri was flustered when he heard the news. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't control the market abroad. What if Love in Bitter Winter becpopular abroad? But he quickly calmed down.
