Of course, not everyone in the industry felt envious when they heard the news.
For example, our director Shen scoffed at this at the time.
"What's the point of using these crooked methods for promotion? The key is still the quality of the film."
If the movie is of poor quality, no matter how much you promote it, no audience will buy it...
Shen Shanchuan thought to himself.
He doesn't object to publicity, because it's an essential part of the pre-release process for a film, and it's necessary to communicate the film's message.
Once viewers have this information, they will naturally go to the cinema to watch the film if they are interested in it.
However, if the publicity is excessive, Shen Shanchuan feels that it will lead to a loss of focus.
He felt that Daxu Culture's recent actions constituted excessive promotion.
Indeed, the film is currently very popular, but if the quality of the film does not match, its reputation will quickly deteriorate.
As for whether director Xu Lu can make a good youth campus drama, Shen Shanchuan is not optimistic.
This wasn't a baseless guess, but a judgment he made after watching the other person's previous videos.
In fact, he thought that Director Xu was a good comedy director, and he was indeed very talented in controlling comedy.
If they continue making comedies, they're sure to achieve huge success.
However, Shen Shanchuan believes he has some experience in the field of youth campus dramas.
He had read the other person's 'Charlotte's Depression', although it also contained a lot of campus scenes.
However, Shen Shanchuan did not feel the presence of the 'youth' label, and the whole film was mainly for comedy.
"So Xu Lu has very little experience in the field of youth campus life and will definitely make a lot of novice mistakes."
That means the film's quality is destined to be mediocre! It's just a shame about the two decent theme songs; it's such a waste.
Shen Shanchuan finally reached a conclusion.
...
On the other hand, Mr. Xu's fans are once again feeling proud:
[It has to be Director Xu; every time he makes a movie, he gets involved in several different circles.]
[Absolutely! The film industry is a given, and now the music industry is being shaken too, hahaha.]
To be honest, I didn't expect Director Xu to release a new song again this time, since he didn't get this treatment in the previous films. I didn't expect him to do this again this time.
[I must say, Director Xu's talent is overflowing; this theme song is so vividly written.]
...
Yes, these two theme songs alone brought back memories of my youthful days.
[Everyone, never sing "My Deskmate" in front of your wife. This is a piece of advice from a middle-aged person.]
Dude, to elaborate on your 'advice,' we need to understand the context in which you gave it.
Hahaha, you're really rubbing salt into his wounds. My buddy must have gotten a real beating from his wife.
...
[Just a little longer and we'll be able to see Director Xu's two films. I'm really looking forward to it.]
[That's right. I hope Mr. Xu can make these two films a bit warmer; I'm really depressed by his 'Living' story.]
[Hey, that really hit home. Movies like 'To Live' are just so damn tear-jerking.]
Brothers, Mr. Xu's movie is great, but you guys need to start thinking about who you should bring to see it.
...
As soon as these words were spoken, the popularity of the comments section dropped by at least half.
Clearly, this question is a real "life-or-death" question for people who are not single.
Would you dare take your wife or current partner to see a movie that's full of nostalgia?
If you didn't meet your ideal love during your youth, that's fine.
If you have even the slightest bit of that kind of feeling, it will be difficult to explain to your current partner.
This question is also not very friendly to single people, as it seems to be an attempt to make single people feel like they are being subjected to public displays of affection.
...
However, the two female protagonists of "My Old Classmate" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye" certainly wouldn't think that way right now.
These past few days, the two had been secretly competing with each other on set.
When the two theme songs were released, Dilraba and Liu Yifei both started comparing them in their minds.
"I still prefer the song 'My Deskmate,' and besides, being deskmates is much closer than being in front of or behind someone else!"
As Reba hummed a song, she secretly thought:
"But what exactly is Xu Lu doing?"
It's one thing to film two youth campus dramas in a row, but to write two theme songs for them? Couldn't you just write one?
That womanizer, I really want to give him a good beating.
Besides her resentment that Xu Lu always had to do things in duplicate, Dilraba was also somewhat dissatisfied with the ending of "My Old Classmate".
Why can't two people be together? Why does it have to be written as "see you again at the wedding after breaking up"?
This Xu Lu, he always has to add some heart-wrenching elements to a perfectly good romance movie, I'm speechless.
"Fortunately, 'those years' didn't end well either, otherwise... humph!"
However, when she thought about how the male and female leads in Liu Yifei's movie also didn't end up together, Dilraba felt a little better.
If the male and female leads in her movie don't end up together, but the male and female leads in the other actor's movie do, she'll definitely throw a tantrum.
...
Liu Yifei, the other female lead, has a much better mindset.
"...Those years...the missed downpours...those years...the missed love..."
