Many felt that the music in the second installment was more exciting and fitting.
In addition, the voice acting is perfect, and the emotional delivery of the lines is simply masterful.
The camera work has a unique artistic conception reminiscent of traditional Chinese paintings; many frames can be used as screen savers.
No one can walk out of the movie theater unmoved.
Clearly, this is just a popcorn movie... well, that's what Liu Yun said on her personal online platform, Yunzhao.com.
Let everyone bring some popcorn, or some delicious food and drinks, and have a happy time at the movie.
To put it simply, this is a popcorn movie, all about having fun.
As more and more people finished reading, Liu Yunyun's account on the website became abuzz with comments, mostly complaints.
"Okay, okay, is this reverse publicity?"
"Where are the other filmmakers? Hurry up and learn from them. They've set a good example for you. Don't you even know how to copy their work?"
"Exactly! Some movies have substance and depth, no obvious weaknesses, yet they claim to be just popcorn movies for pure enjoyment. Meanwhile, a bunch of people who have nothing to offer keep bragging about being industry benchmarks and saviors, but they're just a bunch of idiots... Do they really think we're blind and can't see it?"
"Perhaps we, the audience, lack the appreciation level to understand their refined and elegant art, haha..."
"Come and learn from me, talk about things you have, don't always talk about things you don't have or things you can't reach, understand the principle of first downplaying and then elevating?"
"The idea of starting with a sneer and then building up to a climax can be surprising, while starting with champagne can be hilarious. The current promotional strategies in the industry are probably too advanced for us to understand."
"Actually, it's just a lack of confidence in their own abilities. They want to use hype to get more viewers to go to the cinema, which is commonly known as 'luring dogs in to kill them.' As long as they contribute to the box office, nothing else matters."
"Not important? Then why cover your mouth to stop people from complaining and criticizing?"
"Isn't that just wanting to have your cake and eat it too?"
"He opened the champagne himself in advance and couldn't stand any unpleasant comments."
"They film it and then make people pay to see it, and we can't even criticize it? Is it that noble? They really need to learn more."
"Alright, if you insist on tearing down someone's fig leaf, go do it somewhere else, don't pollute Director Liu's place."
"That's right, that's right. If someone can't stand what we're saying and tries to cause trouble by banning Director Liu, none of us here are innocent victims."
"Haha, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about Director Liu. Are you confused? There are so many places to promote a movie, why don't you do some promotion?"
"Is it really that expensive? Fans can help too. Doesn't Director Liu know how huge his fan base is?"
"Speaking of which, apart from fans, how many other people don't know about the movie? Is there any need for promotion? Director Liu is a true practitioner who doesn't waste public resources."
"Yeah, they say they don't want to waste anything, but they still keep nagging and complaining."
"Hey, watch your step, steer the conversation back on track. What's wrong? You can't have a conversation without comparing and bringing up other people's points?"
"Sorry, sorry, I've been suffering from capitalism for so long, I just had to get this off my chest!"
"Yes, yes, although I'm not smart, I don't want others to treat me like a fool. I easily doubt myself because I'm a 'low-skilled fish' (meaning someone who is not very bright). I've studied hard for so many years, and it hasn't been in vain."
"There's nothing I can do, I developed this aversion to stupidity over the years..."
Everyone chimed in, and the topic was repeatedly steered off course only to be pulled back again and again.
Everyone was highly engaged.
Liu Yun was somewhat amused and exasperated after reading it.
This generation of fans has a rather complex personality. Even if they are young, they may feel like parents and have gone to great lengths for their idols.
Liu Yun was also very impressed.
In the eyes of her fans, she's still a baby!
But what everyone was saying was true, and they were afraid that if the topic went too far and involved too many people, it would cause her trouble.
Fans are just too concerned to think straight. They've probably forgotten her background and powerful connections. Who would dare to rush in and get themselves killed?
She has the confidence to back it up.
It's a pity that fans haven't realized how much harm they've suffered from the entertainment industry over the years!
As I said before, even if it's just RMB, some people still won't like it, let alone a work of art.
Whether it's the first or the second movie, there are still people who don't like it.
As long as the comments are substantial, and you actually read them before commenting, Liu Yun will just read them and move on, without taking them to heart at all.
She had long understood that not everyone would like her.
As long as you don't criticize for the sake of criticizing, it's fine.
However, the internet is much cleaner now; there's no more paid fake reviews, and the ratings have really increased.
The rivals in the entertainment industry have fallen silent. What happened to the promised terrible movie?
In such a tight timeframe, how can they possibly produce a film of even higher quality than their first one? What's going on?
It made them look even dumber.
They were still waiting to nitpick, but everything was perfect. How could they possibly play?
For a typical project, the timeline from having an idea to project approval, then getting a film crew to shoot, and finally post-production to produce the final product is extremely long.
Whether you're rushing or working at a slower pace, or in a very urgent situation, it will probably take a year.
Some of them were filmed for one or two years before being broadcast, and some even took longer.
The show was only promoted when it aired, which allowed the main and supporting actors, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, to reunite and talk about interesting things that happened on set, share their experiences from filming, etc. In reality, these were probably all distant memories for the actors.
They've probably worked on several film sets by now, and filming is just so-so. It just so happens that one of their shows became a hit, which brought in even more work.
Most of the time, the content is made up on the spot; we make up whatever the audience is interested in.
To be honest, some actors are much better at this than they are in movies and TV shows.
The screenwriters who wrote these stories are even more brilliant than the works themselves.
The time it takes to monetize has been too long; the actors have already forgotten about it and are tired of it.
Time can heal many wounds.
However, all these rules were completely broken by Liu Yun. Her ability to monetize was too fast, especially for the actors. They might still be immersed in their roles and hadn't come out of them yet. In other words, before they had even gotten out of character, their works were already being promoted.
When these actors participate in the program, their genuine emotions are much more visible to the naked eye.
The audience will naturally be able to feel the difference.
There's no way around it; comparisons always hurt.
For example, when Yin Tian and others were invited to a talk show, they were asked about interesting things that happened on set, and the group of people could answer them almost without thinking.
Moreover, when one person speaks, others can fully understand, without the abrupt feeling of not having prepared the answer beforehand, making it seem very authentic.
It happened in just a month and a half, but I still remember it vividly.
Moreover, with Yunzhao Media protecting them, most of the company's actors have no taboos and say whatever comes to mind, not caring at all about offending anyone... This shocked even the host, who dared not accept the invitation.
The host said that he doesn't belong to Yunzhao Media, so will the TV station protect him?
In case something happens, maybe he should go to Yunzhao to find something to do.
Yunzhao has a lot of variety shows on its platform, but not any talk shows yet. Maybe... he should give it a try?
