Chapter 465: Regular

Although Yang Xiaolian, the queen of singing in the second episode of "The Road to the King of Singers", won the first place, but for Gu Qingge, she did not lose out at all. She could even be said to be like Qin Shihuang touching the electric switch - she won the game.

It was because Yang Xiaolian won the first place by singing "Little Love Song". The song became popular again because of her perfect performance and topped the major charts again. Naturally, Gu Qingge, the original singer, reaped the benefits with tears.

Then, many passersby of "The Road to the King of Songs" were surprised to find that the original singer of "Little Love Song" was actually Gu Qingge, and that she had composed the song before she went to college...

This discovery made them exclaim in amazement. Gu Qingge was indeed very talented. Any song he sang could be so beautiful!

Time flies by unknowingly, and the main theme military blockbuster "Enemy at the Gates" starring Gu Qingge is finally released.

Gu Qingge suddenly became busy. As the leading actress, she naturally had to attend the premiere of the movie. Then, in order to promote the movie, she also had to join the entire creative team's roadshow to theaters across the country.

As for Gu Qingge's fans, they are undoubtedly very happy, simply because this talented girl Gu is really a super outlier in the entertainment industry. Other stars take advantage of their popularity to appear on various shows, but she is a slacker and now only participates in the variety show "The Road to the King of Singers".

This time, Gu Qingge, who was responsible for promoting this military blockbuster, could no longer be willful. She had to get down to business no matter what.

Since Gu Qingge herself also likes this movie, after all, it is full of positive energy, and she also likes the heroic heroine Luo Ying that she plays, so she really hopes that this movie will be seen by more people, so she also works very hard to promote this movie.

However, before the release of "Enemy at the Gates", mainstream public opinion was not optimistic about the box office of this movie for the following reasons:

1. Everyone knows about the main-theme blockbusters led by the Chinese government. They force themselves to be great, glorious, and positive, and are too preachy, which makes the audience unable to help but develop a rebellious mentality. Originally, everyone goes to the cinema to watch movies to relax and have fun. Why should they accept your positive energy education?

Second, military blockbusters are more interesting when they have male protagonists. Audiences who like this type of film expect the protagonist to be a tough guy, but this film has a female protagonist. Isn't this nonsense?

3. Gu Qingge’s acting skills may not be enough to handle this film. She has only filmed one youth film before. Although her acting skills are indeed good in that film, it is very likely that this is just her true character. Now she has to play a soldier, which does not seem reliable at all!

It is undeniable that Gu Qingge has fully proven herself in the field of music. She is a recognized musical genius, but in the field of film, she still needs more works to gain more recognition.

Some marketing accounts in the film industry can't wait to label "Enemy at the Gates" as a "bad movie", and also said that a singer like Gu Qingge is asking for failure if he acts in a movie!

In such an atmosphere of public opinion, "Enemy at the Gates" was released as scheduled.

The literary young woman Song Jiaqi is an avid movie lover and considers herself a hardcore movie fan. Her account on Douban is quite famous because she has published many film reviews.

Her film reviews are known for being venomous and spicy. She is completely merciless when it comes to bad movies and can criticize them to pieces.

But her criticisms are basically well-reasoned and not mindless.

Film critics like her can be said to make directors and actors who have made bad movies very unhappy, because her criticisms are always very heart-wrenching and hurtful.

Moreover, Song Jiaqi comes from a wealthy family and has no shortage of money, so no filmmaker can successfully publicize her. This also makes her appear more rational. Many Douban users like to read her film reviews before considering whether to spend money to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

Song Jiaqi also created a Penguin group for film lovers. Before "Enemy at the Gates" was released, many group members @ her, hoping that she could immediately write a review about the movie after it was released to serve as a guiding light for everyone.

Song Jiaqi naturally doesn't mind being a guiding light. She has watched countless movies and has a strong resistance to all kinds of bad movies. Even if "Enemy at the Gates" is bad, she is not afraid.

At this time, she was already sitting in the cinema, enjoying this movie with a very relaxed attitude, which she thought had an 80% chance of being a bad movie.

Song Jiaqi is not a die-hard fan of Gu Qingge. Although some of his songs are really good and make her addicted to them, songs are songs and movies are movies. Just because Gu Qingge is a big hit in the music field, it doesn't mean that his movies have the right to be exempt from criticism.

However, Song Jiaqi had to admit that Gu Qingge's appeal was indeed there. The theater she was in was now full, and she even heard some male audience members talking like this -

"It doesn't really matter whether the movie is good or not, as long as Gu Qingge is good, that's enough."

"Gu Qingge in military uniform, wow, I'm so looking forward to it!"

"The soundtrack for this movie is definitely good. The 'March of the Iron Torrent' in that trailer is amazing!"

"Director 'Explosion Thunder's' commercial blockbuster is still worth looking forward to, but I don't know if Gu Qingge can carry this blockbuster..."

"If it weren't for Gu Qingge, I feel like this so-called mainstream film wouldn't have contributed to the box office."

…

As time went by, the movie finally began.

This military blockbuster does not try to be mysterious in its narrative. It progresses completely according to time, and the camera is basically focused on the heroine Luo Ying, played by Gu Qingge.

The beginning of the movie tells the story of Luo Ying, a mountain child with a poor background. She showed a talent for shooting since she was a child and was a natural hunter. Then, with the help of the national poverty alleviation policy, she went to school and was admitted to a military academy.

The leisurely beginning made the audience slowly immersed in the movie.

The most important thing is that the acting skills shown by Gu Qingge made it easy for the audience to empathize with her. She played the role of a poor mountain child to perfection, and her sister had a very strong aura and was extremely charming.

Song Jiaqi, a picky film critic, originally watched this movie with a critical mindset, but as he watched, he became fascinated by it.

However, this does not mean that she fully approves of the movie. In her opinion, the beginning of the movie is just average, but Gu Qingge's acting skills are indeed eye-catching.
