Chapter 50
At the same time as the premiere of Guide Dogs ended, director Haotian Bai Jinzhang's new film "His and Her" also ended its screening.
The audience in the guide dog comment section were all praising it, and Director Zhang's comment section was no less enthusiastic, with rave reviews.
Zhang's old fans praised him: "As expected of Zhang, he's a master of his craft. You can tell right from the first shot."
"Although it's not my favorite genre, art is universal. This love film, written to welcome a friend from heaven, although less artistic, is still worth watching."
"Don't say anything more, it looks good. Of course, I'm from Haotian, so my opinion doesn't count. Friends in Cangtian, please give me some feedback."
"Here comes the man from heaven. If a star director is the wealth of the entire galaxy, then a platinum director is the face of a planet. Director Zhang's film once again made me deeply understand the meaning of this sentence."
"You asked me about my feelings, so I'll tell you what I feel. His wife is excellent!"
"The love between the male and female protagonists is very beautiful, and it is a beauty that even single people can feel."
People in the industry are also very down-to-earth. If a good film is praised, that's it. That's everyone's attitude. In a head-on competition, if you're good, you go for it. If your own director makes a rubbish film, you'll be criticized.
This wave of traffic exchange, although due to the previous "hatred-inducing" incident, attracted a wave of Haotianxing viewers who wanted to "fight fakes" but were "recruited" in the end, but due to the gap in the background and fan base of the two directors, Huan Xu was still at a disadvantage in the first wave of competition.
In Spark Company, Ye Qian followed the data department to compile real-time data. After estimating the data from his side, he concluded that guide dogs were slightly inferior.
However, neither Ye Qian nor the employees showed any anxiety or worry on their faces.
Their confidence can be seen in their eyes.
Ye Qian pushed his glasses up: "Give the audience some more time, there's no rush."
After the first wave of movie watching ended, the audiences on both sides also remembered another movie that was released at the same time.
Audience in the His/Her Movie Zone: "Suddenly I remembered, wasn't there a movie coming out on Cang Tian Xing at the same time?"
"It seems so. The movie viewing should be over. How is it?"
"As long as it's not too bad, I'll watch Lao Zhang's video again and go over there to show some support. After all, it's to welcome the videos released by us Haotian people, so we have to give this face."
“Looks good according to the reviews.”
What makes Haotian people hesitate is that the comments section is too uniform, and it looks like they were posted by a group of internet trolls.
Especially the two film reviews that were pushed to the top.
The first one: "I declare that, in my heart, Guide Dogs is the most healing art film of the year!"
Second: "Director Huan understands what I want to see better than I do."
The most important thing is that judging from the IP addresses, the people who posted these two hot comments are all from Haotian.
Haotianxin said: If you hadn't exaggerated so much and been a little more pragmatic, I would have believed it. Alas, my old habit of embarrassing others has come back again.
However, adhering to the principle of not opening the microphone without evidence, Haotianren still replied to the previous inquiry comment: "Don't worry, I have a sister who went to see it before, let me ask her first."
Don't be anxious, dears. Don't be fooled by the internet trolls. Wait until she has asked all the questions before deciding whether to watch it or not. The eyes of the audience are also eyes and cannot withstand poisoning.
Soon, this Haotian person privately messaged his best friend, Sugar: "Honey, what do you think of the guide dog? Is it cute? The comment section on it is so fake, I'm a little scared."
My bestie quickly replied, Yun Duo: "Ah, I saw it, believe me it's good, but honey, why didn't I see the fake comments you mentioned? Which one is fake?"
Sugar thought those hot posts were fake, why didn't her own Dabao see them? "Baby, look up, they're just the ones in the front row."
"It's so funny. I feel a little sorry for that director now. He hired so many water armies, and they are from our Haotian Star. I guess the budget is not low. It's just that he is unlucky. These water armies are too unprofessional. They look fake at first glance."
Yun Duo: "Baozi, what are you talking about? Those are not water armies."
Sugar responded with a confused kitten emoji.
Yun Duo: "Those are all real comments from everyone, I even liked them."
Sugar: …
Sugar: "Baby, isn't it super ugly? You want to trick me into getting hurt too. Baby, you don't love me anymore."
Yun Duo: "I didn't lie to you, Tangtang. If I lied to you, I would be a puppy."
Sugar: "Bao, your account has been hacked?"
A few seconds later, Yun Duo's video call request came directly. Seeing Yun Duo still sobbing on the other side, Sugar was startled, and then he was furious:
"Duoduo, don't cry. Tell me who bullied you and I'll help you deal with him right now!"
"Tangtang, don't get excited. I'm fine. Hiccup, I just watched Guide Dogs. Listen to me, this is a dog movie. Haven't you always wanted to raise a little baby? Go watch it. I guarantee on our friendship that Director Huan is definitely a native of Cangtian Star. He really knows what the audience needs."
Sugar: "Baby, are you really okay? And it's such a great movie. How come you can't stop crying now?"
Yun Duo: "I'm so touched. This little animal is so, so, so healing. Awang is so lovable. The bond between him and Grandpa Li transcends everything."
Yun Duo wiped away her tears, covered her chest, and gave Sugar a sweet smile: "I haven't felt so moved and healed in a long time. You go and watch it first, and we can talk later. I'll go and recommend it to some babies."
Sugar's expectations are already full at this moment. If Yun Duo can praise it so much and recommend it to other good friends, it must be not too bad.
Before opening Guide Dog, Sugar even replied to the previous post. She wanted to tell everyone that they could go and have a look, but she saw that other netizens had already reported the results before her.
He is also a pet anchor with a small amount of traffic.
The King is above: "Family members, guide dogs, go ahead without hesitation. If things don't go well, come back and beat me up."
Someone asked what type?
The king also left a cloud-like comment below: "Heartwarming and healing. On cold days, you can't be without a cute puppy to cuddle with for warmth."
With the double guarantee, Sugar felt more at ease. Together with other Haotian people and Cangtian people who had finished watching the movie at Director Zhang's place, they rushed to the Xinghuo official website as the second wave of viewers.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening. The second wave of audiences calculated well and the movie ended at twelve o'clock, just in time for a good sleep and going to work tomorrow.
The Amway campaign is still going on, and the Haotianxing people are spontaneously recommending guide dogs to their relatives and friends. Don’t ask, they just don’t allow such a “heartwarming” film and some people have not seen it.
Two hours later—
Sugar: "Ahhh, you stinky Xiaoyun, come out here, you've tricked me, I haven't even taken my makeup off yet, and now my eye makeup is all smudged all over my face, my tears are all black, wuwuwuwa."
Yun Duo: "Is Uncle Li not charming enough?"
Sugar: “No!” Despite having such a tragic life experience, he was eventually able to grow into a towering tree, blooming flowers of kindness. In moments of crisis, he stepped forward and rescued Miss Zhao who was bullied by gangsters. Uncle Li makes people feel distressed and even more admired.
Yun Duo asked again: "Is it because Awang is not cute or brave enough?"
Sugar: "Not really." Awang is the best puppy in the world. He is loyal, brave, enthusiastic, and so stupid that it makes people feel distressed.
Yun Duo's three consecutive comments: "Or is it that the film's use of long takes isn't poetic enough?"
Sugar gritted her teeth, unable to refute.
The characters and plots are all online, and there are long shots of the scenery in the play, green mountains, green waters, and wheat waves. Every frame of the screenshot can be used as a wallpaper. It can be seen that the director has carefully polished and created it independently, rather than directly using purchased templates. This is enough to show the director's intentions.
The actors who play Uncle Li and Dahei who play Awang have excellent acting skills throughout the whole film.
It was as if the audience really watched the true story of the master and pet's love up close through the director's lens.
Yun Duo: "In conclusion, guide dogs are good-looking, right?"
Sugar nodded indignantly. Although she had been deceived into shedding many tears, her conscience would hurt if she closed her eyes and said it was not good-looking.
Behind the screen, Yun Duo smiled sweetly again: "Tangtang, this is such a beautiful, healing movie tailor-made for us Haotian people. We should promote it to more Haotian people, right?"
Sugar blinked, not realizing it at first, then stared at Yun Duo's words for a moment before clapping her hands and finally understanding.
But, you call this a cure, but that's already going too far and is heading straight towards depression.
Halfway through typing, Sugar deleted each word and re-edited it, still with a different light glittering in his tearful eyes: "Yes, it is very 'healing'. Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to recommend it to my friends."
Let the brave dogs heal the hearts of more indifferent humans.
Yun Duo is right. Such a good healing film cannot be seen by only her. Let Director Huan and Awang move every Haotian person.
She wouldn't allow anyone to not have seen a guide dog, and she wouldn't allow anyone to not have heard the story of Awang and Grandpa Li!
On the other side, under the pet blogger’s star blog, a large group of Haotian people also came with knives.
"Where's the dog blogger? Come out and die."
"You ungrateful man, give me back my tears."
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll really beat you to death."
At first glance at these comments, it seems that the audience has been deceived by the pet blogger.
Onlookers: "Oh, I see. Those people were tricked into seeing guide dogs. They don't look very good. By the way, pet blogger, how much money did you make helping an alien director cheat his own family? I'm unfollowing you."
The pet blogger saw this post as soon as he logged in, was shocked, and quickly replied: "Who is making a fortune? There must be evidence for what you say. Don't talk nonsense. God knows it takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them!"
Not only the pet blogger, but even the netizens who had just cried and threatened to hit someone in the blogger's comment section turned their guns around and stood on the pet blogger's side to speak for him.
"Who are you? Why are you scolding guide dogs? I've never even seen one. I advise you to be kind, or you'll get hurt."
"What do you mean by your star and our star? What era is this? The nine stars have started to merge. We are all one family. Stop trying to be independent. If you keep making random remarks, I will report you."
"Yes, Director Huan and I are a family. Director Huan promised me that he would make a movie for me in the future."
"The above person is going too far. Even if the merger is completed, Director Huan's hometown is still our Cangtian Star. The next film he will make will also be for the people of Cangtian."
"The people above are being stingy. What's yours and mine? They all belong to everyone. You also want more people to love Director Huan, right?"
The previous nitpicker was suppressed by everyone, and the pet blogger said weakly: "So, is there anything else for me to do? If not, then I will quietly take my leave."
He wouldn't tell these guys that he was catching up on Director Huan's other films, watching them secretly, and then surprising everyone!
As soon as the pet blogger spoke, the audience remembered that there was a hammer.
"Where are you running to? You still have the nerve to run. Come on, explain to me what healing means."
"Damn, who could have imagined that a tough guy like me, 1.9 meters tall, would cry like a dog in my bed. My heart is still beating like a pig."
"Bah, I thought you were a conscientious blogger, but I was wrong after all. Give me back my feelings."
Pet blogger: “…”
Pet blogger: "Although I was also wrong, have you ever thought that there was someone else who really made you cry?" For example, a certain Huan Daoyan.
Of course, netizens knew that the culprit was someone else, but they had to pick on the weak, especially the newly joined Haotian people, who didn't dare to speak on the microphone under Huan Xuxingbo.
What if they are too fierce and scare the director, and he needs time to heal and decides not to make the film?
Something like this had happened on their star before. Although they knew that the director was just looking for an excuse to show off, the audience was still shocked.
The director is talented and willful, and the audience has no choice but to go along with it.
If God knew about this, he would definitely puff out his chest and put his hands on his hips with pride again. Huan Xu is already a recognized model worker in the industry, focusing on both quality and quantity. Thinking about it this way, it is so happy to be a fan of Director Huan, and the food is so delicious.
Besides, Huan Kuaishou is not just Huan Daodao. As long as Huan dares to think big, he can also be a pure love god of war.
Have you heard of "Untitled"? Although the ending also made the audience cry, it ended with a sweet happy ending.
There is also "Man Jiang Hong". Although there is no personal love, it also has a happy ending because of the justice of family and country, swords and martial arts.
Seeing that everyone in the comment section was still discussing how to cut him into pieces, the pet blogger felt a chill down his spine.
“Fry it first.”
“Stir-fry again.”
"A sprinkle of cumin and chili powder and the fragrant blogger is ready."
"The kids next door are crying because of their envy."
The pet blogger, holding his master in one hand and his cat in the other, gasped: "These demons, I'm just a weak, helpless and pitiful blogger."
The pet blogger finally shared his treasure with the devil from the bottom of his heart: "Stop scolding me, stop hitting me, brothers and sisters, I was wrong."
"You know you're wrong, but you won't change, right?"
"You know you're wrong, but you'll still dare to do it next time, right?"
The pet blogger coughed lightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Ahem, let's get back to the point. To make amends, I'd like to recommend a sweet romance film to you. It's produced by Director Huan and is titleless. Don't scold me here. Smart people are already watching it."
At the end, the pet blogger added a cheesy sentence: "If it's not sweet, come back and hit me, and I won't fight back."
"Seriously, I'm sharing my strategy with you. Director Huan's love trilogy, the order you must watch is: Untitled, Chi Ling, and Jin Se. There's also Man Jiang Hong, but I heard it might not be the genre we like. I haven't read it yet, so if any of you have, please share the info."
Seeing the pet blogger's heartfelt words, the audience temporarily suppressed their anger. Yes, instead of wasting time on the blogger, they might as well catch up on the drama.
As for the fact that the blogger talked about the trilogy together in the last paragraph, causing Haotian viewers to mistakenly believe that all three trilogies were high in sugar, it was the netizens who misunderstood, and we really can't blame him.
Afterwards, the pet blogger was beaten up and pinned to the ground by the audience, but that’s another story.
After watching the movie, Huan Xu’s old fans have formed a habit of rushing to the movie review area to sign the hot new space.
"Bet it or leave it. Guess who will come out on top today, Teacher Taihang or Teacher Xingchen."
"I'm an old fan of Taihang. Our teacher Taihang was the first to support Director Huan. First come, first served. I'm betting on Teacher Taihang."
"It's possible that he'll come out on top later. Teacher Xingchen is also Director Huan's good friend. It's just that the film reviews on the first day weren't very popular, so he wasn't discovered by everyone. I'm betting on Teacher Xingchen. Xingchen and Xinghuo sound like they're from the same series."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing for now. Let's wait for the film reviews to come out and see what the quality says."
Netizens didn’t have to wait too long, and this time, Taihang and Xingchen published film reviews almost at the same time.
Netizens who like to watch the fun and stir up trouble directly copied the two film reviews one after another.
[Taihang]: Thank you for your guidance in this life.
When fans saw Taihang’s message, they were stunned at first. Their first reaction was: Is Teacher Taihang in love?
However, Teacher Taihang is probably not the type of person who would show off his affection online in a high-profile manner. In addition, given the timing of this post, some quick-witted fans realized that this post was probably not directed at a person, but at a dog.
If it were a video, on second thought, it would be indeed appropriate.
Compared to human lifespan, dog lifespan is too short. Their existence is just a companionship for humans at a certain stage, but for them, it is their entire life.
Please give me more advice in this life.
Since you have raised a puppy, you should be responsible for its life.
Some people were curious and left a comment below: "Is Teacher Taihang also a poop scooper?"
Netizens didn't expect any response at first, but unexpectedly, they were called. Taihang made a rare public response in the comment section, although it was only a brief and cold word: "Yes."
Taihang's image in front of the audience has always been cold and mysterious. No one knows Taihang's age, gender, job or family in reality.
However, today, the mysterious Taihang revealed the tip of the iceberg in front of his fans.
Also because of his caring identity as a poop scooper, fans feel that the cold and robotic Teacher Taihang seems to be much more down-to-earth.
Netizens continued to turn into curious babies, wanting Teacher Taihang to reveal some photos of his own dogs.
As expected and unexpected, Teacher Taihang disappeared again.
Compared with Taihang's review which is from the perspective of the owner, Xingchen's review is from the completely opposite perspective of the dog, and a few words depict the dog's silent and loyal image.
[Xingchen]: The world doesn't let dogs speak because love and loyalty need to be expressed through actions. Guide dogs aren't just about Awang guiding Grandpa Li; they're about dogs guiding people's hearts.
"Teacher Xingchen's words are even better when paired with Awang's story."
"I just stopped, but Xingchen said something and my eyes started to dart again qaq."
"Xingchen and Taihang are competing across the stage, interpreting guide dogs from two different perspectives. No matter how you look at it, I like both of them. Let the floor below have the final say."
"As a poop scooper, I prefer Teacher Taihang's film review, which is full of double entendres. Don't worry, baby, you've entrusted your life to Mama, and Mama will definitely take good care of you."
"I prefer Mr. Xingchen's definition. The promise of love and loyalty never goes out of style."
Everyone has their own preferences. Some people prefer Taihang's film reviews from the owner's perspective, while others appreciate Teacher Xingchen's dog literature. No matter which teacher you vote for, there is no doubt that the other teacher's comments are insightful and excellent.
The people of Cangtian not only voted for the excellent comments themselves, but also were very considerate and brought in the members of the Haotian family who had newly joined the "Huan Family" organization.
Haotian people:!
The people of Haotian like this style, it just suits them, it suits them just right, this is how a film review should be, incisive, concise, and most importantly, in line with their literary and artistic temperament. Their enthusiasm for participating in the event seems to be even more active than that of the local Cangtian people.
But I always feel like something is missing.
A Haotian native spoke with a vicissitudes of life, explaining to the other villagers: "The excitement is all due to others. If you want to know why, both the stars and the Taihang Mountains belong to the sky. In such a grand occasion, there is no outstanding film critic from Haotian to participate. What a pity!"
Haotianren: ...
All the film critics from Haotian gathered at Director Zhang's place.
This cannot be blamed on the film critics, as they cannot predict the future. Director Zhang is a veteran platinum director of Haotian, and he may be the next star director. In addition, Zhang is a hot topic himself, which makes him a walking traffic code.
Not everyone is as unconventional as Taihang. Many film critics make a living in this field.
Huan Xu, the young director who is trying to open up their Haotianxing market, does have an outstanding track record in the past, but honestly, no film critic believes that Huan Xu, who is so young, has the ability to handle film reviews of two different tastes.
However, a small number of film critics are also ready to take a look at "Guide Dogs" to test the waters. The failure of a work cannot determine anything. As long as the film has certain advantages, it means that Director Huan has real talents and may produce an excellent masterpiece in the future.
The prerequisite for coming to Huan Xu is to finish watching "His and Her" first.
Because of the lateness of the film critics, the weak, helpless and pitiful Haotian people were like ants on a hot pan, crawling back and forth.
Heavenly Man: "Family, let's be happy together."
Still couldn't resist the temptation of Haotian people: "Come, why don't you come." Forced smile jpg, why hasn't our own film critic come yet.
After waiting for a long time, the film critic who had just finished watching a movie also rushed to the second battlefield with his notebook.
At this time, the film critics at Haotian were still a little arrogant: they had just finished watching Director Zhang's masterpiece, and their taste and aesthetics were very high. If the young director couldn't come up with something genuine, he wouldn't be able to move their cold hearts!
The opening words of the film, just a piece of film and the director's confession, made more professional film critics frown slightly, with a sense of foreboding.
In the middle of the movie, the perspective accompanies Awang as he crosses mountains and rivers, searching for the direction of home under the stars and the moon. When the critics, who are as heartless as iron, also have red eyes and shed tears, they know that things are serious.
At the end of "Guide Dog", the audience was shocked and amazed as they watched Awang catch up with Grandpa Li and walk away together with him to the distance in the lively folk song.
The Yangtze River's new waves push the old ones forward. One film critic sighed with a wry smile: "Empiricism is unacceptable. We can't judge people by appearances, and we can't judge directors by their youth. I must apologize to Director Huan for my previous contempt."
Finally, the film critic shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how many people will be killed by this torpedo of Director Huan." On the first day of the merger, Cang Tianxing released a little king. How can they fight next?
Forget it, he is just a small film critic, at most a small shrimp in the ocean of entertainment industry. He can't control those big events that shake the world. As for now, he just needs to take in the traffic and write film reviews.
In the living room, two dogs were sleeping soundly in their kennels. The film critic looked back at his own dogs, his red eyes filled with fondness:
"I have to support my family."
The author has something to say:
