"Do you have any more tissues? Give me just a little bit more, I feel like crying again, waaaaaah..."
"Although I had already experienced the novel version's plot, I didn't expect the movie version to be just as 'healing'."
"This protagonist is so tragic, how can this be called 'alive'?"
He himself is still alive, but those around him are dying one by one.
"Damn it, I really shouldn't have come. I thought I was tough, but it turns out I'm not tough at all!"
...
"Can't you give people even a glimmer of hope? Don't make it so tragic, it's too pitiful!"
"I managed to resist watching the movie version of the novel, but I didn't expect to fall for it again."
"Director Xu, this time you've taken back all the joy you gave us before."
"The comedies that made us so happy before, now a tragedy has made us so sad."
"If I had known it would be this 'healing,' I would never have come, but since I'm already here, I definitely have to watch it!"
...
Inside the theater, many people were moved to tears by the plot, and tissues were used up very quickly.
From the beginning until now, those more sentimental young ladies have probably cried six or seven times already.
Keep in mind that the story isn't over yet, so you can imagine that this movie, which is hailed as the 'ceiling of domestic despair,' truly lives up to its reputation.
Dilraba and her best friend Liu Xirui had both actually read the novel version of the story.
And not just once.
I thought I had developed some resistance, but in the end I couldn't withstand the surge of emotions.
Like everyone else in the movie theater, the two of them were crying their eyes out.
Dilraba's makeup was, unsurprisingly, ruined, but she had no time to care about it right now.
After all, as people familiar with the plot, they all know that now is not the time to relax.
In the latter half of the film, the protagonist Fugui does not find happiness; in fact, the tragedy continues.
...
"That's too cruel! President Xu is really too cruel. How did he come up with such a heart-wrenching plot?"
"Who knows? No wonder it managed to squeeze out Master Zhuang's Journey of Life. This 'To Live' is truly extraordinary."
"It's only natural that Master Zhuang lost to our Director Xu. If the movie is like this, what about the original novel?"
...
Same as before.
Most of the employees of Daxu Culture, unless they have something important to do, will come to support their company's film on its opening day.
This has always been a tradition, and everyone naturally followed suit with the release of "To Live".
Then, everyone's admiration for President Xu reached its peak.
Making an audience laugh is certainly not an easy task, but making them cry is even more difficult.
But this film, 'To Live,' made the audience cry again and again.
It's the kind of thing that never ends.
Even so, the audience did not gain any resistance and still shed tears when they felt they had to.
That's outrageous.
Finally, the first episode came to an end, and the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment the lights in the screening room came on, almost everyone was frantically wiping their eyes.
Some girls who had put on makeup immediately took out their makeup mirrors to touch up their makeup.
We will try our best to make up for any shortcomings.
Of course, some smarter people had already left a few minutes earlier.
This way, you won't lose face in public. Although most people lose face, it's still very embarrassing!
Meanwhile, the comment section of Xu Lu's live stream started to get lively:
[Brothers, after watching this, go for it! It's not 'healing' at all, trust me!]
[Yes, it's much lighter than a novel, it has the same familiar feel, and... well, never mind, I can't make this up anymore.]
Hahaha, it's actually much better than a novel, but people who are easily moved to tears should still be careful.
After all, this movie is a genuine tragedy, and anyone who can watch it without shedding a tear deserves to be called a "big brother."
The moment the lights came on, I glanced around and noticed that the most common type of trash in the entire venue was tissues used for wiping away tears.
...
[Only Director Xu could make so many people cry while watching; he's probably got that kind of talent.]
Honestly, if you're not mentally strong, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie; it can be really depressing.
Yes, I only knew Director Xu was great at making comedies, but I didn't realize his tragedies were just as good.
[My advice remains the same: bring tissues and water before going to the movies. Trust me, you'll need them...]
...
The hectic day passed quickly, and I wonder how many people left the movie theater in tears.
In the evening, it was time for the box office results to be released.
This time, however, the group from Daxu Culture didn't seem too nervous.
On the one hand, it is also because more and more movies are being released, and everyone is no longer 'naive' and their Daoist heart is growing stronger.
On the other hand...
This is also because no one, including Mr. Xu, had high expectations for the film's box office performance.
Xu Lu even explicitly stated that the box office performance of this film, 'Living,' was not a major concern, and he hadn't even considered that issue.
Therefore, everyone in the company reached the same consensus...
"Brother Feng, the box office results are in!"
However, the data still needed to be recorded. Finally, an employee walked in with a somewhat strange expression and said:
This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!
