Chapter 368 Movie Release

Ye Qian always eats fried food like this, so she wants to change the taste today. After frying the chicken legs and wings, she takes the oil out of the pan and makes a sauce in the pan. Then she pours the fried chicken into the pan and stir-fryes it for a while, letting the sauce coat the fried chicken. Then she takes it out of the pan and the delicious fried chicken is ready.

Then I fried a few more dishes, ate them with rice, and had a simple dinner. The time passed happily.

…

On the day the movie was released, the school gave students a day off because of a holiday. This was a good thing, as it didn't require everyone to take leave.

Because of the advance publicity, many people came to inquire, but there were not enough shows, so many people did not buy tickets and went home dejected. But there was nothing they could do about it. After all, only a few people could afford to see a movie right now, so Ye Qian also intended to extend the movie's playing period, and Professor Xiao agreed.

At the first screening, except for Professor Xiao, Ye Qian, and the others, no one else had seen the finished film. Seeing it together today naturally felt different, and even several of the lead actors postponed work to be with everyone. Ye Qian naturally couldn't let Gu Jinyan miss such a meaningful day, so she reserved a seat for him in advance, allowing him to arrive at the cinema with Aunt Lan and their three children.

The movie lasts for 2 hours, and there is no dialogue during the whole movie, for fear that speaking a word will cause us to miss the plot.

Everyone was watching the movie intently. Ye Qian also observed the audience's expressions in the dim light of the movie, hoping to get some insights into their feelings about the movie. Fortunately, after the entire movie was over, no one had a bad opinion. Almost everyone's eyes were red, and some even wet their handkerchiefs with tears.

Ye Qian smiled. This was a good sign. She had been busy for several months just to get a good result and good reviews.

The movie ended, and the lights in the theater came on. Amidst the applause, the actors stood up and expressed their gratitude. Ye Qian had already given the newspaper staff movie tickets. Several of the leading actors were present today, and several reporters, unable to contain their excitement, immediately rushed forward to ask questions as soon as the movie ended.

After the movie ended and the show dispersed, Ye Qian asked Gu Jinyan, "Was the movie good?"

Gu Jinyan said: "It's great. I didn't expect you to be so talented. This movie is really well made."

Ye Qian couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said, "My talent is not something that has only been developed in a day or two. You act like you just met me."

"Yes, yes, yes. It's my fault." Ye Qian asked Gu Jinyan to go back first. "I'll arrange the people first. You guys go back first and we can celebrate together."

Gu Jinyan held the child's hand and nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, she left with Aunt Lan and the children. The children said goodbye to Ye Qian reluctantly: "Goodbye, Mom."

"See you in a bit, Mom will be right back." Don't act like it's a life-or-death separation. She really can't bear to watch.

After seeing them off and saying goodbye to the friends who came to watch the movie, Professor Xiao next to him said, "Professor, what do you think?"

Professor Xiao nodded: "Not bad."

"good?"

"Very good, better than I expected. This big screen looks much better than our editing room. It's completely different," said Professor Xiao.

"That's right. Otherwise, why would there be movie theaters? The effect is the same, you can just watch TV."

Professor Xiao said, "Don't be too proud. There is still room for improvement."

Ye Qian nodded: "I know, this is just the first movie, for practice, the next movie will definitely be better."

Professor Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. "Just keep this in mind. When will the next film start? I'll plan it first."

Ye Qian understood what Professor Xiao meant. Although the movie had just been released, she could already predict the effect it would have after its release. Professor Xiao naturally didn't want to miss the next one.

But it's hard to say when to start filming again. Ye Qian hasn't decided yet. She's been too busy lately. "We really need to slow down. More haste, less speed." Ye Qian said this with a serious face, which made Professor Xiao laugh. "It was me who was in a hurry, and I was even lectured by a student."

Ye Qian smiled and chatted with Professor Xiao for a few words before saying goodbye.

For the next month, Ye Qian focused on her film's performance, while also attending classes diligently. She reported to class on time every day, listening attentively and taking notes. This earned her a lot of praise from professors, who commented, "She's quite stable."

"Yeah, if someone else had such grades, they would have been arrogant and wouldn't have bothered attending classes."

"She's really good, and I see she gets along well with everyone. She's not arrogant at all."

This kind of stunt naturally had precedent. After the movie was released, not only the lead actors became famous, but even the supporting actors became famous too. He Jun was a natural success. As soon as the movie was released, Boss Xue seized the opportunity and used his connections to get her advertisement aired alongside the movie. She was also featured on billboards outside. He Jun became a huge star in Han City, especially in schools.

Being able to study in the same school as a celebrity these days is truly an honor. Regardless of whether they know each other or not, there are always people who come up to He Jun and say a few compliments. At first, He Jun was really a little flattered and said to Ye Qian: "I feel like I'm walking on clouds lately. It's a very strange feeling."

Ye Qian was really worried that He Jun would get carried away, so she started to urge her, "Don't get carried away just because of a role. You won't be used to everyone praising you all of a sudden, but you must remember that these people praising you now can also step on you in the future. You must constantly remind yourself to stay true to your original intention and remember the reason you started learning acting. Don't lose yourself because of a few words from others."

Under Ye Qian's urging, He Jun, who had been walking on the cloud for a few days, immediately stepped back onto the ground. Everyone was also surprised. How could someone who had been chatting and laughing with them a few days ago suddenly start teaching seriously again? However, this reaction made her professor very happy. She had originally wanted to talk to He Jun about the situation in the past few days, but she didn't expect that was not necessary now. He Jun returned to normal, and even the students became serious.

But there are always one or two people who cannot find their own position, take advertisements privately, and do not listen carefully in class. It is too late only after they fail the final exam.

When He Jun talked about this with Ye Qian, he felt somewhat relieved that he had listened to Ye Qian at that time.

If Ye Qian knew that He Jun was happy about this, she would definitely say, "It's okay, you can take the make-up exam anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Several students who passed the exam did not go back home during the Chinese New Year. They stayed in school and studied hard, striving to pass the make-up exam.

Ye Qian also welcomed her winter vacation.
