Cao Desheng took off his virtual helmet with tears in his eyes, let out a long breath, and felt goose bumps all over his body.

He shook his head. As he got older, his tear points became shallower.

He looked around in dismay and found that there were many people like him who couldn't hold back their tears.

"The Queen's Dog" did not disappoint him.

He hadn't seen such an excellent historical masterpiece for many years.

With Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in Chinese history, as the protagonist, the film not only takes root in history, but also makes bold artistic processing and creation of history, and also conducts in-depth exploration of the thoughts and culture of ancient society. It is an excellent film that fully promotes traditional culture.

Ever since Cao Desheng awarded Le Jing the Best AI Film Award at the Starry Sky Awards Ceremony, he has been silently observing this young man.

So when he received the invitation to the premiere of "The Queen's Dog", Cao Desheng, who hadn't gone to bed after 10 o'clock for a long time, still came to watch the premiere, even if it meant breaking his decades-long daily routine.

It's ten o'clock at night.

An exciting itch spread from his cerebral cortex, and even his spine felt numb.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night.

He has almost thought of the film review.

The old friend sitting on his left took off his helmet and said to him excitedly: "I bet that "The Queen's Dog" has already booked the best film award at this year's Ark Awards!"

Cao Desheng thought about it, shook his head, and sighed, "It's not that simple."

Seeing that his old friend was not convinced, Cao Desheng gently said the name: "Tulip Beauty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old friend was immediately speechless.

Although they did not go to the premiere of "The Tulip Beauty", they still had some understanding of the script of "The Tulip Beauty" through the online film reviews.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is an award-winning film tailor-made for the Ark Awards.

Human-insect love may sound strange at first, but similar films are common in the art field. Interracial love is considered a pursuit of art by many film critics.

Love is only the surface. What artists and film critics pursue are the conflicts and contradictions that erupt between interracial couples during the process of love, between love and race, between faith and politics, between desire and reason. The more intense the conflict, the more popular it is among film critics.

Cao Desheng really hates the so-called human-insect love.

In the eyes of the Zerg, humans are just a piece of edible meat, and the only way to express their love is to eat them.

With the lessons learned from the Three Hundred Years of Darkness, why do humans still try to explore the "humanity" beneath the bestiality of the Zerg for the sake of so-called artistry?

The old friend argued quietly, "The Queen's Dog may not be without a chance of success. After all, The Tulip Beauty is about a human-insect love story, and the audience won't be very receptive to it."

Cao Desheng wanted to say something, but held back. In the end, he just said vaguely, "It's hard to say."

What if the audience can't accept it? It's OK as long as the Ark Awards jury accepts it. What's more, the male protagonist in "Tulip Beauty" is a humanoid brain worm that walks upright, which is more in line with human aesthetics.

Over the years, Cao Desheng has always had a vague question in his heart. This question made him worried and unable to sleep at night.

The Ark Prize...is it really still the Ark Prize for humanity?

Are those judges really still human?

…

………

Bai Entertainment invested a lot of money and invited many industry leaders to support "The Queen's Dog", hoping to overshadow "The Tulip Beauty".

As the chairman of the China Film Association and the chairman of the Starry Sky Awards Jury, Cao Desheng not only attended the premiere of "The Queen's Dog", but also gave it high praise, which immediately brought a lot of attention to "The Queen's Dog" and helped "The Queen's Dog" to gain a good reputation.

"The Queen's Dog" and "The Tulip Beauty" are destined to be the two most talked-about candidates during this year's Spring Festival.

One is a traditional cultural theme, and the other is a pioneering love art. Both have outstanding reputations, countless fans, and are equally popular online.

Who will be the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival? We can only wait and see.

Mo Mingrui waited anxiously for the release of "The Queen's Dog".

He immediately bought a ticket for the first movie, even though it meant he had to get up at around seven in the morning.

These days, he has been resisting the urge to read spoilers online in order not to reduce his own viewing experience.

He rushed into the cinema with great enthusiasm, and then left the cinema in high spirits and satisfaction.

As expected of a Shidao work! The quality of "The Queen's Dog" is really excellent!

Such a subject matter fits perfectly with the main theme of promoting traditional culture. In his eyes, only such main theme movies are eligible for the Ark Award!

As the number one competitor of "The Queen's Royal Dog", Mo Mingrui naturally also investigated "Tulip Beauty".

After learning the general plot, Mo Mingrui hated "Tulip Beauty".

What is love that transcends race? Would you fall in love with the roast chicken on the table? To the Zerg, humans are roast chicken!

Mo Mingrui couldn't help but sigh that the world is too peaceful now.

After all, the Three Hundred Years of Darkness happened thousands of years ago, and for many people it is just a few paragraphs in history books.

For nearly a thousand years, the Insect Star and the Earth Alliance have coexisted peacefully and lived in peace. Although there have been constant local frictions, the overall situation is peaceful.

The Zerg have now domesticated other livestock, and there has been no news of insects eating people for more than a thousand years.

It seems that the Zerg have gotten rid of their savage bestiality and become a civilized race.

But Mo Mingrui has never been able to let down his guard against the Zerg.

He would always remember the words he read in an ancient book: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

He would never believe that a beast that had tasted human flesh could become good.

During the three hundred years of darkness, countless humans sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, not for the purpose of allowing their descendants to fall in love with the Zerg one day in the future!

But... there are still only a few people on the Internet who have a clear understanding like Mo Mingrui.

"The Tulip Beauty" and "The Queen's Dog" were released on the same day. After watching the movie, Mo Mingrui found that there were already some audience reviews about "The Tulip Beauty" on the light brain.

[Sevier's wife: Ah, the male protagonist Sevier is so handsome and cool! ! If brainworms are this handsome, then I can be one too! ]

[Giant insect, giant insect, open your eyes: The director should have done some artistic processing on the male protagonist, right? The real Zerg is a giant insect, which is completely inconsistent with human aesthetics. ]

[Tulip's lackey: I can't help but recommend our humanoid brainworms to the people above! Humanoid brainworms walk upright, have small faces and long legs, and are smart, powerful, and super cool! [Picture.jpg][Picture.jpg]]

[You are thinking peach: I cried so loudly! My eyes were swollen when the heroine died in the hero's arms at the end! Fortunately, their reincarnations were together in the end! ]

Mo Mingrui frowned and felt even more uncomfortable.

Mo Mingrui has also seen the stills of "Tulip Beauty", and it is undeniable that the male lead is very consistent with human aesthetics.

Although his overall skin color is the bluish-gray color of an insect, his body is slender and his eyes are not the cold compound eyes of an insect, but the warm big eyes similar to those of a mammal, not to mention that he has a pair of colorful wings like a butterfly behind him.

Humanoid brain worms are a new direction of Zerg evolution.

It is said that the queen combined the genes of certain mammals to produce a new species of insects.

...Many people, including Mo Mingrui, have always suspected that the so-called mammals refer to humans.

The humanoid brain worm contains human genetic sequences.

Why do Zerg have human genetic sequences?

Many people don’t dare to think about it, and many people... don’t want to think about it.

There has been peace for a thousand years.

No one wants to fight.

Mo Mingrui doesn't want "Tulip Beauty" to win the award.

He felt that "Tulip Beauty" winning the award would have a very bad impact.

…

Le Jing is waiting for a call.

Most of the crew members gathered around him, their eyes burning and anxious, waiting with him.

Finally, the phone rang.

Bathed in the expectant gazes of countless people, Lejing opened the terminal, selected the public screening, and then asked: "How much is the first day box office?"

The other party took a deep breath and shouted excitedly: "300 million! 300 million on the first day! No. 1 during the Spring Festival!"

Excited cheers and applause suddenly broke out in Le Jing's ears, and the actors and staff hugged each other with relief.

This is an excellent start!

What does 300 million on the first day mean?

That means the final box office of "The Queen's Dog" will not be less than 5 billion! It is even very likely to exceed 10 billion and enter the top 20 in film history!

Le Jing was not completely relieved. He asked again, "How is the box office of "Tulip Beauty"?"

"The first day box office was 200 million."

Le Jing frowned, it was only 100 million short.

The gap was not as big as he imagined.

It seems that he underestimated the psychological acceptance of the people in the interstellar age.

"Tulip Beauty" is indeed his strong rival.

Le Jing also showed great interest in the film.

Although his previous guess was somewhat untenable, he still cared about "Tulip Beauty" to some extent.

So he decided to go to the cinema to watch the movie in person and verify his guess for himself.

…

………

Le Jing had mixed feelings when he took off his holographic helmet.

As far as romance films are concerned, "The Tulip Beauty" is indeed an excellent movie.

The core of the story is simple, it is about the great love between the brain worm and the human girl that transcends race and hatred.

A romance drama itself doesn’t need a very complicated core.

Just like "Titanic", it is just a love tragedy of separation and death when the ship sank.

However, the simpler the love drama, the harder it is to make it stand out.

The film "Tulip Beauty" was filmed to be heart-wrenching and deeply moving. The loyalty of the hero and heroine to love, their struggle and pain in desperate situations were so touching that they resonated with the audience.

but……

"Tulip Beauty" is great.

The male lead Sewell is so affectionate and perfect.

This made Le Jing feel even more uneasy.

He knew very well how much Tian would weigh, and it was obvious at first glance that "Tulip Beauty" was not his work.

If you think about it carefully, this movie was filmed before the friction between Insect Planet and the American Federation.

So is this a coincidence?

If it is not a coincidence, then "Tulip Beauty" is definitely not an isolated case.

The Zerg's "silent" invasion of human culture will not happen overnight.

Since Le Jing traveled through time, he has only inherited the basic memories of the original owner, and has only a vague impression of the literary and artistic works that the original owner has read.

He decided to do a careful review when he returned.

He just hoped that he was just overthinking it.

Le Jing frowned and hurried away from the cinema.

At that time, he was completely unaware that the scene of him entering and leaving the cinema had been photographed by a paparazzi robot and posted on StarBlog by Apple Entertainment, a well-known Chinese entertainment marketing account.

[Apple Entertainment: The first-day box office of "The Queen's Dog" was 300 million, surpassing the 200 million of "Tulip Beauty". Many people think that "The Queen's Dog" will be the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival. However, netizens met the director of "The Queen's Dog" Shi Jing on the road and found that he not only watched "Tulip Beauty" in the cinema, but also frowned and looked worried after watching it. The editor thinks that Director Shi Jing seems to be very optimistic about "Tulip Beauty". What do you think? Who do you think will be the champion of this year's Spring Festival? Please leave a message to tell the editor. ]

As a result, "Shi Jing is optimistic about "Tulip Beauty"" immediately became the number one hot search on Xingbo.
