As we all know, the Spring Festival film season has always been a fiercely contested battleground, a fierce competition among numerous films.
Even before the release of "The Phantom Thieves," the publicity campaign had already been in full swing.
Although Xiao He is a cameo character who appears for less than a few minutes, he has been getting a decent amount of attention lately. Meng Zetian and Mo Tun have been consistently keeping him in the spotlight, so when the movie was officially announced, Xiao He was given more screen time. When promoting the film on various platforms, Xiao He is also mentioned, with Ling Hui Studio handling the promotion.
Xiao He's white-haired hacker look naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Of course, he's not the main character in this movie. He'll be mentioned during promotions, but he's not the focus.
Aside from Xiao He's fans being overjoyed, most viewers were drawn to the film because of its plot quality and the two main actors.
On its opening day, "The Thieves" lived up to expectations, firmly securing the top spot at the box office.
It can only be said that Director Zhuang truly lives up to his reputation as a director with billions in box office revenue. "The Thieves' Alliance" won the audience's favor with its humorous and suspenseful plot twists and the incredibly reliable duo of bumbling thieves who constantly cause trouble.
Judging by this momentum, "The Thieves" should be the box office champion during the Spring Festival.
Even Xiao He and his parents felt they wanted more after watching it, giving the film a very good review.
After all, the Spring Festival is all about creating a joyful, funny, and relaxed atmosphere for the whole family.
Xiao's mother was pleasantly surprised by her son's performance in the movie. Although he only had one or two minutes of screen time, the mysterious, taciturn white-haired hacker was still very impressive. She looked at her son with a playful expression and a nostalgic smile on her face.
Xiao He felt his scalp tingle under his mother's gaze, thinking he was about to be lectured again.
After all, he had dyed hair and tattoos in this movie, which would have made his father eager to try it out in the past.
Sure enough, Xiao's mother was also talking about Xiao He dyeing his hair:
“I remember it was after you graduated from junior high school, right? That summer, you insisted on following the non-mainstream style of the neighborhood and dyed your hair green. No matter how much your dad and I tried to persuade you, we couldn’t stop you. In the end, oh my god, that hairstyle made me laugh every time I saw it.”
Just talking about it made Xiao's mother beam with joy, and she nudged Xiao's father with her elbow, while Xiao's father also smiled.
“I remember, and as a result, that brat was laughed at for a week. When he came back, he begged us to take him to dye his hair back to black. But the hair dye faded, and his hair was yellow for the whole summer vacation. When school started, in order not to let the teachers think that he was malnourished, he had to get a buzz cut.”
Xiao He: ...Stop cursing, stop cursing, the person is already digging their toes into the ground.
I remember it was the summer after I graduated from junior high school. At that time, Xiao's parents decided to grant Xiao He a wish because he had been admitted to a key high school.
So, the teenager, who was in his adolescence and still had a bit of a teenage angst, decisively chose to do something rebellious that many people had wanted to do – dye his hair!
And they even wanted to dye this thing green!
Upon hearing Xiao He's request, Xiao's mother's vision went black, while Xiao's father stood up, drew his Seven Wolves sword, and prepared to show Xiao He what true fatherly love was.
However, after a period of chaos at home, Xiao's mother decided to keep her promise and took Xiao He to get his hair dyed green.
However, at the same time, Xiao's mother was also very "scheming". She deliberately took Xiao He around and even visited acquaintances, without being afraid of losing face.
Back then, things weren't like they are now. People basically equated dyeing hair with being a good-for-nothing hoodlum. With that hairstyle, Xiao He was practically telling everyone that he was going to go astray and would be squatting on the street collecting protection money and beating up your kids. Hehehe.
