Chapter 270: Rivals of the Same Period
Gu Qingge knew that the reporter was going to ask questions about [Nan Gezi].
She was certainly prepared for this. She asked, "[Nan Gezi]? Are you referring to the male lead in the movie, Fu Jingnan?"
The reporter nodded subconsciously. He completely regarded [Nan Gezi] and Fu Jingnan as the same person.
Gu Qingge commented on "Fu Jingnan" in this way: "The portrayal of this character is quite good, satisfying many female readers' fantasies of a loyal male protagonist, but what I want to say to him is -
What has life done to you that makes you afraid to love and always seem humble? You are so kind and have done nothing wrong to anyone, yet you are so insecure.
The reporter was perked up when he heard Gu Qingge's answer and immediately asked, "Ms. Gu, are you encouraging Teacher [Nan Gezi] to pursue you, so that he won't be so humble and will be more confident?"
"I didn't say [Nan Ge Zi], it's just the name of a tune. I just said to my character Fu Jingnan, I understand myself better than anyone else, so don't ask me about [Nan Ge Zi] anymore."
Gu Qingge almost admitted that she was [Nan Gezi], but neither the reporter who asked her questions nor the audience at the scene really understood what she meant.
However, this is also Gu Qingge's classic riddle style. She seems to only recognize "Nan Ge Zi" as a tune name.
Then she answered the question "What is your relationship with Nan Gezi?" and she only answered the relationship between the two characters "Lu Manwu" and "Fu Jingnan".
Her answer seemed to be possessed by [Nan Gezi]—
"You painted sadness in the corners of your eyes, I wiped wandering on my forehead. You added a few strands of white hair with longing, I let time carve my haggard hands, and then we passed each other on the street corner, indifferently no longer knowing each other."
Isn’t this the youthful and literary “licking words” style of [Nan Gezi]?
Gu Qingge has already given so many hints and clues, and she is just short of revealing that she is [Nan Gezi], but everyone thinks she is still playing the role of a riddler.
All I can say is that many people are not spiritual enough.
Anyway, when the day comes when Gu Qingge's identity as [Nan Gezi] is completely exposed, looking back at her interviews, you will find that she has always regarded herself as [Nan Gezi].
Anyway, the premiere of "Those Years" was quite perfect and it achieved great publicity effects.
Many film critics start writing their reviews after returning home from watching a movie.
Like the previous film critic Qin Yushan, she wrote film reviews from the two perspectives of the film and the original novel, and this review is very suitable for fans of the original book.
“…
I have read "Those Years" four times. It is written very smoothly and I read it in one breath. It is so real and touching, without any affectation.
I remember the first time I opened the book, it was also late at night. That night, I was alone in my room, laughing and crying at the same time.
[Nan Gezi] Teacher's writing has such magic.
I think if other people saw me at that time, they would think I was mentally ill.
It was the humorous and talented [Nan Gezi] who brought me back to my own youth. Even though it was bitter and sad at the time, I don’t have any regrets when I think back on it now.
It is no longer a true story, but a beautiful real record.
As for the movie "Those Years", what I want to say is that it is a truly classic youth film, and it can even be said to have redefined youth films!
Next, I want to tell you about the highlights of the movie. This involves spoilers, so I suggest you go to the theater to watch it first..."
Qin Yushan's film review is more than 5,000 words long and she praises the movie version of "Those Years" to the sky!
Her praise is absolutely from the heart. Many viewers who like to read word of mouth and reviews before considering whether to spend money to watch a movie in the cinema, after reading her film reviews, naturally want to go to the cinema to watch the movie immediately.
Of course, Qin Yushan can definitely get paid for writing such a good review. After all, this is also the word-of-mouth marketing that many movies do.
However, whether this reputation can be maintained in the future depends on whether the public likes it.
Among the movies released at the same time as "Those Years", there are several movies whose publicity campaigns are even stronger than "Those Years".
The previously mentioned "King of Killers" is one of them. Its starring role is the second-tier action film actor Wei Gang, and the director is Jiang Yancheng.
At first, Jiang Yancheng wanted to invite Gu Qingge to be the heroine of "King of Killers", a B+ grade action film. However, no one expected that Gu Qingge would actually star in "Those Years", a youth film which can only be regarded as a D grade production.
As a result, after this incident was exposed, Gu Qingge herself was ridiculed by the public, and people said that she had poor taste in choosing movies.
In addition, Gu Qingge also had a conflict with senior actor Wei Gang, so this also made the box office battle between "Those Years" and "King of Killers" become very eye-catching.
The vast majority of industry professionals and the general public are naturally more optimistic about "King of Killers".
The reason is simple. The latter has a larger investment scale and is a typical popcorn action movie, which is very suitable for the summer season. In addition, the appeal of Wei Gang, a veteran action actor, is stronger than all the actors in "Those Years" combined.
After all, whether it is Xia Ting, Gu Qingge or Mo Wei, they are all appearing on the big screen for the first time, and no one knows whether they can perform well.
Therefore, the screening rate of "King of Killers" is of course higher than that of "Those Years".
However, whether it is "King of Killers" or "Those Years", their screening rates are not as good as the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar Odyssey" from the United States.
The Chinese film industry in this world actually has strong special effects capabilities. Various fantasy and fairy tale blockbusters are being made very well, and they can also easily reap box office revenue in foreign film markets by relying on special effects.
After all, China's technology is not inferior to that of the United States, but in the field of science fiction films, it is not as good as the United States.
This is not because China's film industry is not good, but because China really lacks good science fiction writers and scripts, and science fiction is also a niche subject in China.
However, Chinese movie fans certainly like big-budget science fiction movies with grand scenes, otherwise the government would not introduce American science fiction movies.
Therefore, as long as there is a good science fiction script, China can also produce science fiction blockbusters with full special effects!
"Those Years" had strong competitors such as "Interstellar Odyssey" and "King of Killers" at the same time. When it was scheduled to be released, many people were not optimistic about its box office prospects.
However, when the first week box office figures of these three movies came out, many movie fans were shocked!
