"Hey, why are you guys a bit down? Are 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' and 'My Deskmate' not good either?"
It's still the same small team of six.
The girl with the ponytail who had previously chosen the 'Starry Night Promise' was initially a little upset.
But seeing that the people coming out of the other two screening rooms also looked distraught, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Before I could even answer her question, someone on the other end asked, puzzled:
"'Xiao Lang, you didn't like 'A Promise Under the Stars'? Isn't that your favorite film directed by Director Shen?"
The girl with the ponytail immediately looked angry and said:
"Sigh, stop talking. I realize I've been fooled and gave Director Shen a filter halo."
You know, the last time I saw his movie was six years ago, and I thought it was really good back then.
But six years have passed, look how much things have changed outside, and Director Shen is still using the same old style..."
hiss!
Upon hearing this, the four people opposite, though they hadn't read 'The Promise of the Stars,' still felt a stale and musty smell emanating from it.
Thinking of this, the person who had spoken earlier quickly offered words of comfort:
"Xiao Lang, you've really been tricked. I feel so sorry for you."
The girl with the ponytail nodded, then quickly asked curiously:
"What was with those expressions you guys were making just now? Was the movie you watched good or bad?"
"nice!"
The four people opposite said those two words in unison.
Then the two who went to see 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' and the two who went to see 'My Old Classmate' looked at each other and laughed.
In the end, it was the girl who spoke first:
"The 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' series we watched was really good; the characters were three-dimensional and rich, and the plot was smooth."
The last scene almost brought me to tears. As we left, everyone sang "Those Years" together...
Upon hearing this, the two people next door quickly echoed:
"Hey, we're the same, except we're all singing 'My Deskmate,' what a coincidence."
The girl with the ponytail was even more annoyed, but she was still curious about the expressions on the faces of the people opposite her.
So he asked again:
"Why did you guys look so 'profound' when you came out? I thought your movie wasn't very good!"
Finally, someone provided the answer, saying:
"Um... Xiao Lang, it's precisely because it's so beautiful that we feel a little sad."
"Yes, I was sitting there and didn't want to leave, as if I could hold onto my youth."
"There's a girl next to me crying her eyes out. She seems to be feeling the same way and is heartbroken."
...
Hearing her four best friends chattering away across from her, the girl with the ponytail immediately felt extremely regretful.
Why did I choose Director Shen in the first place? Now I don't even feel like discussing the plot. I'm so frustrated.
Before watching, she genuinely hoped to see a youth campus drama that would touch her heart.
But reality gave her a resounding slap in the face; the director's aesthetic sense was still stuck six years in the past.
This isn't just a feeling shared by the girl with the ponytail.
In fact, many viewers complained about this when they left the theater, feeling that the movie plot they saw was not their own youth.
Therefore, there is no sense of immersion or involvement to speak of.
Thinking of this, the girl with the ponytail immediately spoke up:
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to watch a good movie before I leave today, no matter what. Which one by Director Xu do you recommend?"
The four people opposite looked at each other, then all vied to offer advice.
Ultimately, the six-person team split into two groups of three, heading to the screening rooms for 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' and 'My Old Classmate' respectively.
...
"It's so beautiful, Dilraba. Your performance in the show is also great. I couldn't help but sing along with everyone just now."
Liu Xirui linked arms with Reba and praised her.
Dilraba laughed, a slightly smug expression on her face, and said:
"Of course! Don't you even know who plays the female lead? It's me!"
"Yes, yes, our Dilraba is amazing! By the way, shall we leave now, or watch some other movies?"
Liu Xirui offered another compliment before asking the question.
Dilraba thought for a moment and said:
"How about we watch another movie before we leave?"
Liu Xirui sought advice:
"I'm fine with either. So what are we going to watch next? Is it 'internal strife'... cough cough, is it 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' or Director Shen's 'A Promise Under the Stars'?"
Dilraba clearly heard the sarcasm in the other person's tone, and glared at them irritably, saying:
"Who wants to fight amongst themselves? Of course, we're going to watch Director Shen's 'A Promise Among the Stars' and see just how strong our competitors really are!"
Liu Xirui laughed upon hearing this, but did not continue teasing.
If we don't hurry up and buy tickets, we might miss the next show.
...
While the two beautiful women were discussing their options, a group of people who had just come out of the 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' screening room were also facing a dilemma.
Yang Mi was the first to offer her opinion, saying:
"Sister Yifei, shall we go watch 'My Deskmate'?"
"No, it's all filmed in the same production team. I know most of the plot. Let's go watch 'Promise of the Stars' instead!"
Liu Yifei shook her head.
Yang Mi immediately muttered something under his breath, and said:
"You know it all, but I don't!"
Unfortunately, her suggestion lacked power and failed to persuade Liu Yifei to change her mind, so the two of them soon headed to the screening room of "A Date with the Stars".
As luck would have it, we ran into Dilraba and Liu Xirui, who were checking tickets to enter the venue.
Although both were wearing large sunglasses, they were acquaintances and recognized each other immediately.
"This is so embarrassing!"
Seeing this, Yang Mi looked around and muttered to herself.
Fortunately, the scene of a fight she had imagined did not happen; instead, the two sides greeted each other warmly.
"What a coincidence, you're also going to see 'A Date with the Stars'?"
Dilraba waved and spoke with a smile.
At the same time, Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Yes, what a coincidence! Let's go in together?"
Then... the two of them traveling together became four people traveling together.
Fortunately, once inside, everyone's seats were not together, which secretly relieved them.
Of course, on the surface, everyone still had to express some regret that they couldn't sit together, but that's reality, so that's all they could do.
After they separated and found their seats, Yang Mi sighed deeply and said:
"Sigh, the adult world is so complicated, all that scheming and backstabbing, it's exhausting!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Where is there any scheming or intrigue? You just like to misuse idioms."
Liu Yifei replied somewhat awkwardly.
"Ah, yes, yes, you're absolutely right!" Yang Mi chuckled and teased.
