"Now we have a choice: three films, one by Director Shen and two by Director Xu."
Director Shen needs no introduction, he's known as a master director in the youth campus genre, and his work includes "The Promise of the Stars".
Director Xu doesn't really need to say anything; everyone has seen so many of his films in the last two years. So how do we choose now?
Outside the movie theater, the six-person group was a little dumbfounded.
In fact, everyone had discussed it intensely for a long time before they came, but unfortunately they couldn't make up their minds.
Then the multiple-choice questions continued until it was time to enter and buy tickets.
"Well then, there are six of us anyway, so it's fine if we go separately. I choose Director Shen!"
A girl with a ponytail raised her hand and spoke:
“I watched Director Shen’s movies a few years ago and thought they were great, so I watched Director Shen’s movies first this time.”
At this moment, another person stood next to her, clearly supporting her choice.
The remaining four people looked at each other and, surprisingly, split into two groups.
That's right!
One group was going to see director Xu's "You Are the Apple of My Eye," while the other group was going to see "My Old Classmate."
The six people split into three teams, bought tickets, and went to three different screening rooms.
...
Although the above scenarios are not common, decision-making difficulties occur in many people.
On one hand, there's Director Shen, who was already considered a 'master' six years ago, and everyone assumes he's even stronger in the youth campus genre now.
On the other hand, there is Director Xu, who has been gaining popularity in the past two years, although he has not demonstrated his skills in this field before.
However, the numerous box office hits of his films also demonstrate his strength.
But regardless of whether the choice is difficult or not, a choice still has to be made in the end; ordinary people can't be in two places at once.
Soon, the various screening rooms also began showing the day's films.
It has to be said that even as the holiday drew to a close, the number of moviegoers was still quite astonishing.
Because whether it's "A Date with the Stars", "My Deskmate" or "You Are the Apple of My Eye", there are very few empty seats.
In a screening room, Dilraba, wearing large sunglasses, looked rather sullen.
At this moment, the screen is showing "My Old Classmate," in which she starred, with her best friend Liu Xirui sitting next to her.
At this moment, her best friend nudged her shoulder and whispered:
"Still thinking about that? Come on, come on, you're like you've lost your soul!"
"Hmph, Xu Lu is such a jerk! He wouldn't even come to the movies with me. I'm so angry!"
Reba muttered to herself.
Liu Xirui smiled and comforted her:
"Come on, 'My Old Classmate' and 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' are being released at the same time, how are you going to make Mr. Xu choose?"
Although he didn't come with you to see "My Old Classmate," at least he didn't go next door to see "You Are the Apple of My Eye"!
“He dares…” Reba’s eyes widened immediately.
However, realizing that her best friend's words made sense, she gradually understood and said:
"Forget it, Rui Rui, let's ignore that bad guy and focus on watching the movie."
Liu Xirui said irritably:
"I've been watching the whole time, it's you who kept getting distracted and affecting my concentration, okay?"
Dilraba blushed upon hearing this and begged for forgiveness repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, alright?"
...
Actually, in the screening room next door for "You Are the Apple of My Eye," there was also a group of people from Da Xu Culture watching a movie.
"Sister Yifei, didn't you invite Brother Xu to come and see 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' before?"
Yang Mi, sitting next to Liu Yifei, asked in a low voice, then added:
"Did Brother Xu go to the 'My Old Classmate' show next door to accompany Sister Dilraba to watch it?"
"Xiao Mi, stop gossiping, shall we go see a movie? Mr. Xu said he has something to do today and can't go to the movies!"
Liu Yifei glanced helplessly at the curious child beside her and answered.
Upon receiving the answer, Yang's fans chuckled softly.
"Oh, I see. Brother Xu is quite cunning, hehehehe!"
...
In fact, Dilraba and Yang Mi were not the only ones secretly discussing this matter.
Before coming to the cinema, everyone was guessing which movie Mr. Xu would choose to watch first.
Some people guessed that Mr. Xu would first go see "My Old Classmate" with Dilraba, while others guessed that Mr. Xu would definitely go see "You Are the Apple of My Eye" with Liu Yifei from his own company first.
But to everyone's surprise, Mr. Xu did not play by the rules at all, leaving those who were looking forward to watching the show disappointed.
"You think you can make things difficult for me with such a small matter? That's too easy!"
Xu Lu, who was comfortably lying in his own villa, smiled smugly and muttered to himself.
...
Putting aside those who were daydreaming, those who were seriously watching the movie were already immersed in the plot.
Both "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and "My Old Classmate" are youth campus dramas, so their audiences are mostly young people.
At that moment, everyone was quickly drawn to the familiar scene, as if they were seeing their own youth reflected in it…
The two films that Xu Lu chose had already been tested for quality on Earth in his previous life.
During filming, he made further adjustments to the original version, which made the storyline even more captivating.
The audience's emotions rose and fell with the plot, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying.
Especially when the theme song started playing, everyone felt a deep sense of loss.
It's as if the male and female protagonists in the film have become themselves, and the movie is just a scene that records their youth.
As the film ended with its theme song, the audience had already started singing along.
In the screening room for 'Those Years...', it looked like this:
Those years... the missed downpours... those years... the missed loves...
I want to tell you... tell you... I haven't forgotten...
...
But in the screening room of 'My Old Classmate', it was different:
Back then... the sky was always so blue... and the days always... seemed to pass too slowly...
You always said...graduation was a long way off...but in the blink of an eye...we'll all be going our separate ways...
...
Although the movie had ended, the audience members lingered in their seats, reluctant to leave.
It's as if as long as I don't leave, those youthful days will never end.
Clearly, judging from the audience's reaction, both films have been successful.
However, the atmosphere was completely different in another screening room of the movie theater.
Although 'The Promise of the Stars' has finished airing, the audience didn't feel any sense of immersion.
Many people looked surprised, with an expression that said, "Is that all?"
"What the hell have I been watching for the past two hours? Is this what a master-level video looks like?"
"Hahaha, I'm such a clown! How could I choose such a piece of trash from three options!"
"Oh no, I've been affected by the 'filter effect' too. I know that Director Shen was a master six years ago, but I still think he's always been at the master level."
"What a lesson, a profound lesson! Next time, if a multiple-choice question includes a film by Director Xu, I will definitely choose Director Xu!"
