In the cinema, "Groundhog Day" started showing.
Xu Cancan and Wang Jinxue sat together, both staring at the big screen very seriously.
Although Wang Jinxue has been in Lu Yuan's company and occasionally goes to the crew, she didn't watch for long, so she didn't know the plot of "Groundhog Day".
There were a lot of people in the cinema, which was completely different from the previous films "This Man From Earth" and even "Nomadland".
Not only was the theater packed, but a group of film critics had to stand at the back and watch the movie because they couldn't get advance tickets.
Yes, stand up and watch the movie.
This treatment is much worse, and it can even be said that this treatment is the worst they have received this year.
"One Lucky Hour" is finished.
"Alien Era" is also almost finished, without any explosive points.
The other newly released romantic art films are full of the flavor of domestic bad movies, and there are really not many people watching them...
Of course, there are also several low-budget movies that follow the trend of "The Wanderer" and "Buried" with investments of several million dollars.
But the style of the painting is really touching, and it can be seen at first glance that it was shot by those small directors who wanted to imitate Lu Yuan's overnight success...
If this kind of movie can become popular, it would be like a sow climbing a tree.
So, in this situation, the emergence of "Groundhog Day" undoubtedly allowed them to find an outlet to vent their explosive information.
There is nothing else to say, just the words "produced by Lu Yuan, starring Lu Yuan" are enough to make people excited, not to mention that this movie has become the last line of defense for Chinese films against Hollywood in May, and its significance is really great...
So, let alone asking them to stand, even if they were asked to lie down and watch movies and write film reviews, they would have to do it honestly.
There's no other way, you have to make a living. If you are a step slower and someone else grabs the hot spot, then your bonus will be gone.
Being a journalist is not an easy job.
"Groundhog Day" starts out very plain, telling the story of a TV weather forecast reporter.
Both Wang Jinxue and Xu Cancan felt that the beginning was unremarkable and just an ordinary start.
However, the film critics felt very involved in the film. They saw some shadows in Lu Yuan, such as anger, lack of interest, lack of enthusiasm for work, no expectations for life, and in a sense, he was annoying...
In short, Lu Yuan's acting skills are really amazing. When they saw this character, they instantly thought of the four words "to the fullest".
I won’t say any more. I’ll take out my laptop, connect to the Internet, and praise Lu Yuan’s acting skills first.
These are the first thoughts that all film critics had after seeing Lu Yuan's character...
As the plot gradually gets into the point and the foreshadowing begins to be revealed, the movie starts to become interesting.
The protagonist is trapped in this small town, repeating the same day's events.
Lu Yuan was still annoying at first, still had that impatient attitude, and even thought that everyone was playing a joke on him.
but……
With the blaring alarm clock and waking up at the same time every day, the protagonist played by Lu Yuan began to feel something was wrong!
Everyone in the theater's eyes lit up!
Movies that play with time have never appeared in China. Although they have appeared in Hollywood, they were mediocre in terms of box office and reputation.
In fact, if we talk about the novelty of the plot, the plot of "Groundhog" is not very novel, and it is even not as good as "The Man from Earth", but the plot is full of expectations!
If you were asked to repeat the same day over and over again, live in the present day, and be trapped in the same small town, what would you do?
At first you will definitely have your own desires, such as money and women...
In fact, Lu Yuan did show this desire.
There are kissing scenes and ** in the movie.
Of course, these are just a few words within the scope of the rules, not as grand as some rings...
otherwise……
Can this movie be shown in the country?
"It's a bit sad. Is Lu Yuan's first screen kiss gone just like that?"
"Oh, it would be great if I were the heroine!"
"This leading actress is a newcomer! Her acting is pretty good... Alas... It's a pity that she got such a low price."
"I should have learned some acting..."
“…”
Xu Cancan felt uncomfortable when she saw Lu Yuan kissing Xu Lu and Xu Lu's cheeks turned red.
This was really hard for her to accept.
She glanced at Wang Jinxue.
She saw Wang Jinxue staring at the screen with a dull look and expression, as if nothing affected her mood.
Xu Cancan smiled.
It seems that Wang Jinxue doesn't care about these things, and she doesn't think it's a big deal as it's just a movie...
However, she didn't know that Wang Jinxue's hand below had been clenched slightly and then loosened.
It's a movie indeed.
But……
Wang Jinxue was not feeling well.
It's like wearing a big, bright hat on your head...
The thief is very conspicuous.
Of course, this is just a movie.
It's nothing.
She thought so too.
However, there seem to be more and more girls surrounding Lu Yuan recently?
Is Lu Yuan so popular?
Wang Jinxue looked at Xu Cancan beside her and fell into deep thought.
The movie is still playing.
The plot gradually turned into a violent one, and there were even bursts of screams in the theater...
Lu Yuan is crazy!
The Lu Yuan on the screen was completely crazy and insane.
The same plot is repeated every day, the same thing is repeated every day, if he is not crazy, who is crazy?
This small town trapped him, like a terrible cage from which he could not extricate himself...
He started to destroy things, he started to go crazy, but no matter how he destroyed them, they were still as good as new the next day.
Then, he thought about suicide!
All kinds of crazy ways to commit suicide.
Lu Yuan's acting skills are already scary. Even if some people have seen the original movie, they will feel that Lu Yuan has gone completely insane.
Like a madman, he does everything and tries everything just to seek relief...
Lu Yuan's performance captured everyone's attention.
…
The movie is over.
Wang Jinxue and Xu Cancan left the cinema together.
"Lu Yuan's acting skills... are terrible. I seem to see that his acting skills have improved again. This person is simply a genius. Although the overall plot is not bad, Lu Yuan's performance and acting skills directly add a lot of points to the movie. It seems that... the box office of this movie will not be too bad."
"Also, Lu Yuan... Although I know that he is very talented, I am always amazed every time. This movie is not just a simple comedy science fiction movie. The content of this movie is very thought-provoking!"
"What a pity! If this movie was released on May Day, its box office would definitely not be inferior to Hollywood movies..."
"I wonder if this movie can turn the tide in the box office war in May..."
“…”
Xu Cancan kept talking about the movie and Lu Yuan all the way.
Wang Jinxue listened quietly on the side.
In fact, in her heart, she still prefers to watch this movie. This movie seems ridiculous, but it is actually an educational movie and does have some connotation.
However, she has never been the talkative type.
"Sister Jinxue, what do you think?"
"Yeah, that's good."
"Okay, you're still as cold as before... No, it's not quite the same..." Xu Cancan looked at Wang Jinxue, his eyes involuntarily looking at two places under her neck, and then compared it to himself...
She suddenly realized that Wang Jinxue was indeed different over the years.
And myself...
All right.
Since she turned seventeen, she found that she had not made any progress.
Many times, she was quite envious of Wang Jinxue.
"Haha, it's not that I'm cold, I just feel like there's nothing to say." Wang Jinxue smiled and got into Xu Cancan's car nonchalantly.
"By the way, does Lu Yuan have a car?"
"No."
"Ah? He doesn't buy a car? Don't all men like cars?"
"He doesn't seem to be very interested in cars..."
"I think he probably didn't see the model he liked. By the way, Porsche will have a car show in a few days. How about you talk to him about it, Sister Jinxue?"
"It's no use what I said. If he's interested, he'll go. But if he's not interested, he definitely won't go."
"Okay, uh, let me take a call."
"Um."
The car is parked on the side of the road.
Xu Cancan took out his cell phone, looked at the number and a smile appeared on his face.
Wang Jinxue knew what Xu Cancan’s smile meant.
In the past, Xu Cancan would always show this kind of smile when she was about to get what she wanted.
But Wang Jinxue didn't care.
In fact, she and Xu Cancan are completely two types, one talks more and the other talks less.
"Dad...did you call him?"
"Well, how did he respond?"
"Ah? Rejected? No way... He really refused? He didn't even give you face?"
"this……"
"Dad, yes, I understand what you said, but I am really sincere and I am sincere... Otherwise, I would not have called you yesterday. I have been looking for a job in his company for five days..."
"Dad, what do you think I'm missing? He keeps rejecting me, and I feel wronged..."
“…”
After Xu Cancan hung up the phone, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
She looked at Wang Jinxue helplessly.
"Sister Jinxue... This is the first time I've felt so powerless since I was a child..."
"I even invited my dad, the omnipotent director of Shonan TV, to come out... but it still doesn't work..."
“I don’t know what I’m missing.”
"Is it because I'm younger than you?"
Xu Cancan said this and looked somewhere again, then shook her head helplessly.
"I said, if he doesn't want to, no one can make him change his mind... To be honest, you'd better give up as soon as possible." Wang Jinxue smiled when she saw Xu Cancan feeling frustrated. After seeing Xu Cancan's unruly look, her cheeks turned slightly red, and then she regained her composure.
"But I feel so frustrated. Lu Yuan must have weaknesses, right? He can't be so invincible..."
"Hehe." Wang Jinxue shook her head.
weakness?
There may be weaknesses.
but……
There was no way she could have said that.
…
Early morning of the 16th.
Shen Lianjie was anxiously waiting for the latest box office figures to be released.
"Alien Era" was more disappointing than he imagined, and the overall box office plummeted after May Day.
Getting worse day by day...
Before, he could still make a fraction of the Hollywood movies, but now he can't even make a fraction of it. If the box office is bad again today, he will have to stop making pictures and make room.
The overall box office did not lose money, but unfortunately it was not as profitable as expected.
As for the things like face-slapping and rise that screenwriter Sun Peng imagined, they never appeared at all.
"Director Shen, come out!"
"How many?"
"The situation is not optimistic... The box office revenue of 'King Kong 2: The Rise of the King' was 15 million, 'Night of the Gods' was 12 million, 'Army of Darkness' was 10 million, and our 'Alien Era' was only 2 million..."
"What? Another million dropped?"
"yes!"
"What about Lu Yuan's?"
"Lu Yuan's Groundhog Day... um... just 30 million! It ranked first in the single-day box office, and it wasn't during the Golden Week. If it was during the May Day holiday, I can't imagine how this movie would perform..."
"30 million..." After hearing this number, Shen Lianjie's expression suddenly became complicated...
