Lin Wenxuan went to see a movie alone and secretly wrote a film review.
Before this film review was published, Lin Wenxuan did not inform Wen Ying at all and suddenly published such a weighty film review - Wen Ying stared at the unfinished film review on her computer for a long time in shock.
Wen Ying decided to read Lin Wenxuan's film reviews first.
Wen Ying wanted to know what the famous director would think of her first film script.
After reading it, decide whether you want to praise yourself personally.
Although judging from the title, it is impossible for Lin Wenxuan to say anything bad, what if Director Lin is being arrogant and fails to praise "Shendu Youth Journey" enough?
Then Wen Ying has to swallow her pride and do it herself!
As she watched, the curve of Wen Ying's mouth changed.
After watching it, she turned off the computer and called Yuan Fenghui directly: "Teacher Yuan, it seems that I don't need to write film reviews anymore. Director Lin's article is better than ten of mine!"
Yuan Fenghui didn't know how to comment.
No one can do public relations for Lin Wenxuan.
At least Yuan Fenghui didn't succeed last time.
And Wen Ying has made Lin Wenxuan make exceptions twice!
One time was when Wen Ying persuaded Lin Wenxuan to agree to let Li Mengjiao join the crew of "Tangli Love"; another time was now, when Lin Wenxuan took the initiative to endorse "Shendu Youth".
The first exception was okay, but the second was really unexpected.
After all, the movie "Shendu Youth" has nothing to do with Lin Wenxuan. If it is a box office success, Lin Wenxuan will not receive any praise. If it fails at the box office, Lin Wenxuan will not suffer any loss.
Yuan Fenghui even suspected that Wen Ying had put a curse on Lin Wenxuan, or that Wen Ying was an illegitimate daughter that Lin Wenxuan could not recognize?
Bah. Bah. Bah.
Yuan Fenghui drove away the inappropriate thought: Wen Ying still looks very similar to Wen Dongrong!
"You don't need to write anymore. It's New Year's Day, so just eat and have fun. Enjoy your life as you please! I've noticed you have some luck... No, we all have some luck!"
Yuan Fenghui was in a really good mood.
Even Lin Wenxuan can make an exception for Wen Ying twice, so what else can't he do?
…
Lin Wenxuan's real-name film review stunned Ran Keqing.
"That fish has such a connection?!"
Previously, Ran Keqing had wanted to recommend Luo Hao to Lin Wenxuan for the role in Tangli Love, but Lin Wenxuan had flatly refused. Lin Wenxuan was one of the few major domestic directors who didn't need to give face to Huanyu, as his films weren't short of investors anyway.
Ran Keqing had been warned by President Ran not to offend Lin Wenxuan, and since Lin Wenxuan disdained Luo Hao, Ran Keqing hadn't bothered to provoke him. Lin Wenxuan was known for his pride and eccentricity, and he wouldn't give anyone face. Ran Keqing quickly forgot about Lin Wenxuan's rejection—but shouldn't Lin Wenxuan's erratic temper be applied to everyone equally? Why was he targeting her, while he was willing to write a film review for that fish?
Even people like Ran Keqing understand how crucial Lin Wenxuan's real-name film reviews are at this crucial moment. Ran's perspective is more profound than Ran Keqing's: theater chains are all about making money. Since even Lin Wenxuan praised "Shendu: Youth's Journey," there's no reason for those theater chains to hold back on scheduling more screenings.
Ran Keqing was shocked, and President Ran was actually also surprised. He didn't know why Lin Wenxuan was willing to support "Shendu Youth Journey".
Could it be that the Xie family introduced them?
It shouldn't be like that.
Mr. Ran asked someone to buy a newspaper in which Lin Wenxuan published his film review. As soon as he read the content, Mr. Ran's blood pressure rose.
Mr. Ran directly skipped the long paragraphs in which Lin Wenxuan praised "Shendu Youth Journey" and quickly grasped the key words:
"She's the screenwriter of Lin Wenxuan's new film?"
"What?"
Ran Keqing's face was full of confusion, which suddenly gave her a bit of the innocence and clarity that only college students have.
Obviously, Ran Keqing knew nothing about it.
Ran also knew his daughter wasn't to blame for this. Lin Wenxuan was afraid the media would capture the filming of his new film, so he kept it a secret. Furthermore, Lin Wenxuan was incredibly stubborn. In the past, he'd always come up with his own story and then hire a few screenwriters to implement his ideas. Everyone in the industry knew his writing team was just a bunch of yes-men, so who would actually care if Lin Wenxuan had a new screenwriter?
Mr. Ran handed the newspaper containing the film review to Ran Keqing.
"See for yourself."
Ran Keqing's ability to grasp the key points was much weaker. When she lowered her head, the content of Lin Wenxuan's film review was forced into her eyes.
"From screenwriters to leading actors, they are all new forces in Chinese-language films."
"I was a little skeptical at first, but after watching it I was a little surprised and quite pleasantly surprised."
"This film wins on the script alone. A good film story doesn't have to be novel, but it must be logically coherent, and the screenwriter must have poured a lot of effort into creating it. Of course, passion alone can't create a good story; passion and ability must go hand in hand. I'm very fortunate that Chinese films have such a young and promising screenwriter, and I'm even more fortunate that I discovered her early on and asked her to write my new film."
Ran Keqing was too lazy to read Lin Wenxuan's long professional film reviews.
But Lin Wenxuan praised Wen Ying for her good script writing and said that he had also asked Wen Ying to be the screenwriter of his new film, which really hurt Ran Keqing's heart.
How much money did Lin Wenxuan get paid to write such disgusting and corny words?
One million, ten million?!
"Keqing, shut up! You're going too far!"
Mr. Ran frowned.
It turned out that Ran Keqing lost her composure and actually spoke directly what was in her mind.
"How could Director Lin possibly accept payment for a film review? You can't say a single word of this in front of others. Do you hear me?"
If Ran Keqing goes out and talks nonsense, it will sooner or later reach Lin Wenxuan's ears.
Oh my god, that’s one more person I’m going to offend!
Ran Keqing was unwilling to accept the reality, "What else can we do? Dad, we have to do something to stop it——"
Mr. Ran snatched the newspaper containing the film review from her hand: "There's nothing we can do. You don't know how superstitious these people in the Chinese film industry are about Lin Wenxuan."
Lin Wenxuan is a famous director who has set box office records for Chinese-language films.
Since Lin Wenxuan has given this evaluation to a movie, those theater managers will definitely increase the number of screenings of "Shendu Youth Journey" even if they just want to give it a try!
Mr. Ran’s judgment is very professional.
On the day Lin Wenxuan's film review was published, several cinema chain managers called him. After some pleasantries, the managers got straight to the point and asked Lin Wenxuan his honest opinion of "Shendu Youth Journey."
"I've already told you my true opinion. Go buy a newspaper and read it for yourself!"
So, it’s really not because of vested interests that you posted this review?
Before the next day, the screening schedule of "Shendu Youth Journey" was increased.
Initially, "The Youngsters" was not scheduled as many screenings as "The Devil's Transformation," barely matching the Hong Kong romance film. However, the next day after this adjustment, the box office of "The Youngsters" began to rise, and those audiences who were unable to buy tickets due to insufficient screenings finally stopped complaining.
This upward momentum continued until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and "Shendu Youth Journey" finally won the first single-day box office championship after its release!
