In a seat not far away, Liu Xirui nudged Dilraba with her elbow and whispered:
"I didn't expect that you two would have such good chemistry, both of you came to watch Director Shen's film."
However, it's fortunate that everyone's seats weren't grouped together, otherwise today would have been really awkward.
Dilraba playfully punched her best friend, saying irritably:
"Why didn't you say a few more words of advice back then? If we had gone to see 'You Are the Apple of My Eye,' we wouldn't have encountered this embarrassing situation."
Judging from what she said, Dilraba also felt quite awkward just now.
Unfortunately, Liu Xirui wasn't going to take the blame for her, saying:
"I did try to persuade you, but unfortunately you wouldn't listen. What could I do?"
Besides, no one else went to see your movie, so why would you go see theirs? Wouldn't that be a waste?
What you said makes a lot of sense!
Dilraba rolled her eyes at her best friend, and for a moment she really couldn't find anything to say.
Fortunately, the plot of "A Promise Under the Stars" soon began on the screen, and everyone's attention was finally focused on watching the movie.
But the four people who came to see 'A Promise Under the Stars' probably didn't know that the audience who had just finished watching the movie were currently ranting and raving about the plot.
Even if they didn't know this, after watching for a while, all of them frowned.
"What's going on? This is supposed to be a master? He's not good-looking at all!"
Sister Yifei, this "Promise Under the Stars" is nowhere near as good as your "You Are the Apple of My Eye"!
My younger cousin, Yang Mi, frowned and spoke first.
Liu Yifei was also somewhat puzzled and said:
"Didn't everyone on the internet say that Director Shen is really good at making youth campus dramas? Maybe we haven't even gotten to the exciting part yet!"
"It's not even getting to the exciting part yet! I'm almost falling asleep, it's so boring!"
This plot is so cliché. And is this guy, Chen, some old geezer?
At this point, Yang Mi's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief:
"Sister Yifei, what kind of youth campus drama can an old man make? It seems impossible."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei's resolve wavered...
Two seats not far from each other, Reba and Liu Xirui were also somewhat dumbfounded.
"Dilraba, is this really the competitor you mentioned? I don't feel any competitive pressure at all."
This so-called 'Promise Under the Stars' didn't stir any emotions in me at all; it was like I was just spacing out.
Liu Xirui asked, puzzled.
Dilraba shook her head, her expression equally blank, and said:
"I don't know either. I just heard that the 'Starry Night Pact' will be our biggest enemy this time."
But I didn't expect the enemy to be so weak. Could films of this quality have ever been hits before?
"What should we do now? Are we still going to look at it?"
Liu Xirui shook her head and asked.
Dilraba thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe we shouldn't watch it?"
Not watching it would just be a waste of two movie tickets, but continuing to watch it would not only waste money but also time!
"As expected of my best friend, you're so wise. Let's get out of here quickly. I don't want to stay in this terrible movie for another minute!"
Liu Xirui immediately stood up and quietly left the stage with Reba.
This scene was witnessed by Yang Mi, Yang's younger cousin, who was looking around out of boredom.
She quickly nudged Liu Yifei and said:
"Sister Yifei, look, Sister Reba and her friends have all left quietly. Should we stop watching?"
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei glanced to the side and discovered that the two people had indeed disappeared.
She also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Alright then, we won't watch it. It's just a shame we wasted two movie tickets, we didn't even get to see half the movie!"
"Great, we don't have to waste time here anymore. The two tickets are not a waste, it's our time that's wasted."
Little cousin Yang Mi didn't care about any of that, and pulled Liu Yifei up to leave as well.
In a movie theater, someone leaving always attracts some attention.
In particular, within those short two minutes, two groups of people left the venue prematurely.
This is also an encouragement to everyone else present.
Some people think the movie is not good, but they don't want to waste both their money and their time.
Upon seeing this, they all stood up.
In the next ten minutes or so, more than ten audience members left the screening room of "A Date with the Stars".
It seems that everyone wisely chose the former between 'wasting money' and 'wasting both money and time'.
Of course, as I leave, I can't help but utter a curse:
"What kind of garbage is this?!"
...
Hey guys, anyone seen Director Xu's new movie? What did you think?
[I'm not very knowledgeable, but I just watched 'You Are the Apple of My Eye', and all I can say is that Director Xu is still amazing!]
Is 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' good too? I watched 'My Deskmate' and found it quite excellent.
[I'm amazing, I watched both of their new movies. I have to say, they're top-notch youth dramas.]
...
Um, are there any other unlucky souls like me who went to see Director Shen's 'A Date with the Stars' with their girlfriends?
Judging from your tone, bro, isn't "The Promise Under the Stars" good?
[It's not just bad, it's terrible! After watching it, I almost broke up with my girlfriend. What awful taste!]
