"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Did I really have such an arrogant expression when I was acting?"
Hahaha, Xu Lu, why do you have such a lifeless expression in the show?!
After the movie started, Dilraba laughed loudly.
Fortunately, the audience in the seats around them were all laughing.
So her actions weren't exactly outrageous.
The scene playing now is a segment depicting the protagonist of the drama who, despite having eight wives, is constantly depressed.
Dilraba, of course, made a cameo appearance as one of the eight wives, and was playing a drinking game with Xu Lu in the play.
This is different from the role she played in 'My Old Classmate'.
Dilraba really had a blast playing the role of a 'wife' this time, going all out and having a blast.
For example, her image on screen at this moment.
She had one foot on the stool, one hand playing a drinking game, and the other holding a wine glass.
Her expression was just as she described herself—quite arrogant.
Of course, this is also the state Xu Lu wanted, showing the protagonist's indifference towards his wives at home.
That's why he always has a 'black face'.
Even when forced to smile by his wives, he could only manage an ugly grin by pulling at the corners of his mouth.
Of course, first-time viewers will not be able to see these deeper intentions.
They can only see the exaggerated and funny plot on the surface, and then they all burst into laughter, which is actually enough.
It's a comedy, after all.
Making the audience laugh is the primary task of comedy.
As for the others, they should be relegated to the back.
Xu Lu naturally understood this.
Therefore, this principle is consistently applied in his films.
"This is hilarious! At first I thought Tang Bohu was practicing calligraphy, but I didn't expect him to pick up a brush and actually brush sauce onto chicken wings."
"Yeah, that laugh is so ugly! He must be suffering, hahaha!"
"The way these four talented scholars made their entrance was absolutely amazing! Each one of them was more flamboyant than the last, it was hilarious!"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! From the back view, I thought she was a great beauty, look at that waist."
But when he finally revealed himself, it turned out to be a burly man with a full beard dressed as a woman, and what's more, he was robbing someone..."
...
"That boatman is hilarious! The boat is sinking, hahaha, so funny, so funny!"
"It turns out that the protagonist wasn't the only one trying to infiltrate the Hua Mansion; the guy on the other side was in an even worse situation than the protagonist."
"Xiaoqiang? The protagonist is hilarious. He even gave a name to a cockroach and said it was for companionship."
But their competitor was really stupid; they actually screwed themselves over, hahaha.
"I never expected that the protagonist would be assigned to pick up dog poop after entering the Hua family. It's disgusting."
And this guy helped retrieve a kite, then squatted on it and started daydreaming—it's outrageous!
...
Inside the cinema, the audience laughed and made sarcastic remarks, creating a joyful and relaxed atmosphere.
When the plot came to an end, and the protagonist was exchanging couplets with "Duichuanchang," the audience was amazed.
Because this kind of plot is clearly the first of its kind to appear in this world.
The audience was also moved by the protagonist's quick wit and found it quite enjoyable.
In fact, even Dilraba didn't know that there was such a plot point, since she wasn't on set every day.
So at this moment, she, like the other audience members, kept praising:
"That's so interesting! The two of them came up with so many couplets in one go, that's really amazing!"
"You flatter me, you flatter me. It's just average!"
Xu Lu listened from the side and said modestly.
"Hey, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the main character in the movie, so don't get the wrong idea!"
Reba quickly offered an explanation.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Isn't that the same thing? I wrote the entire script, and naturally, I did too. So no matter how amazing the main character is, it's still my arrangement."
Reba immediately gave in, saying repeatedly, "Okay, okay, you're the best, is that alright?"
However, when the story of 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' reaches this point, the end is not far off.
The protagonist, relying on his talent, defeated the group of people brought by King Qi, and also gained the approval of Madam Hua, who decided to betroth Qiu Xiang to him.
At this point, viewers assumed they were about to witness a happy ending to their love story.
But clearly, they were wrong.
Right after the wedding ceremony, the female lead, Qiu Xiang, revealed her true colors and pulled the male lead to play rock-paper-scissors, which startled him so much that he fell over.
Then, the words "The End" flashed on the screen, leaving the audience with endless imagination:
"What's going on? How could Qiu Xiang be such a woman? This is terrifying!"
"Yeah, the protagonist already has eight wives who love playing cards. He thought he was finally marrying a soulmate, but it turns out she's a 'card addict'."
"It seems the protagonist was frightened. He never expected that Qiu Xiang, whom he had gone to great lengths to win over, was no different from his eight wives at home."
"Not only was the main character scared, but I was scared too. Thinking about it, it's kind of creepy!"
...
"As expected of Director Xu's work, I never expected this twist."
"I suddenly feel sorry for the protagonist. He worked so hard for so long, but it was all for nothing."
"It's so dramatic. What was originally an ordinary ending has suddenly become much more imaginative."
"It was definitely worth the wait. Director Xu's films are still so good, the kind that I would watch several times."
...
As the lights in the screening room came back on, the audience left amidst their chatter.
Judging from the expressions and words on everyone's faces, it was clear that the movie was worthwhile.
In fact, the fans were already active at the home base after the first game ended:
[He's still got it! Although Director Xu hasn't directed a comedy for a while, he's still a top-tier director.]
That's absolutely true. When it comes to comedy, Director Xu is truly unrivaled.
This version of "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang" is not only full of laughs, but also carries profound meaning.
[A highly recommended film. Directed by Xu, it's guaranteed to be a masterpiece!]
I knew trusting Director Xu was the right decision; his reputation is still top-notch!
...
[It's the same familiar style! In Director Xu's works, besides the main characters, many supporting actors also shine, which is rare to see in other films!]
If I had to rate Director Xu's film, I could only give it 8.4 points, because it really is 1.6.
[Hahaha, the person upstairs startled me! I thought a troll had popped up.]
Hearing you guys say that makes me really excited, but unfortunately I won't have time to go see it with my girlfriend until tonight.
[Watching this with your girlfriend? Hmm... I think you'll hardly need to after you finish watching this movie!]
