"Hey, the movie's over."
Tang Yue gently pushed Su Yin beside her. The other party was obviously still immersed in the plot just now.
Tang Yue understood Su Yin's current situation very well.
She often claims to be heartless, but she just cried several times while watching the movie.
Ling Hu's eyes were still a little red at this time. He cleared his throat, as if to calm down.
"I know." Su Yin came back to her senses. She waited until the end credits were all finished before she finally calmed down.
"I guess everyone's not in the mood to talk right now," Lin Xuan'er said, gently wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. She looked like she'd recovered. "Let's all go home first, drink some water, eat something, and calm down."
Bai Yangyu was probably the calmest person in the group. It wasn't that he was heartless, but simply because he felt that Guan Fei beside him was crying her heart out. It would be rude of him, a grown man, to not be able to stand up and let Guan Fei lean on him.
All the sadness was suppressed by him.
"Huh," Wang Xingrui sniffed hard. She was touched, but also a little scared. "Really? My family used to be very poor. My dad was terrified of going to the hospital. I used to think he was afraid of injections, but now I think he was worried about not being able to afford the medicine..."
"You're rich now," Su Yin said gently, holding Wang Xingrui's hand. "Ruirui, you're a wealthy woman now. You don't have to worry about money anymore."
"Yeah," Wang Xingrui replied softly, "but besides me, there are still many poor people. I hope to do more for rural children in the future."
Luo Chen was also very emotional. He originally came to watch this movie purely to support Helian Bei.
But he never imagined that one day he would cry while watching a movie, and like Wang Xingrui, he would spontaneously feel the urge to do charity and help others.
"Brother Yang's script feels like it's evolved again," Luo Chen said, even regretting not taking the role in the first place. Although it was due to scheduling conflicts, he still felt that if he could play a supporting role in it, it would be a great addition to his resume. "Director Chang's filming is still so steady. And Brother Bei, is he already booked for Best Actor?"
"Indeed," Ling Hu nodded. "Based on Brother Bei's performance, sweeping all three gold medals wouldn't be a problem. He's too strong."
"As for Sister Zishan," Su Yin said with some regret, "She actually acted very well, but it's a pity that her role wasn't very big, so I guess she can only be nominated for supporting actress."
"Every year, there's a lot of competition for Best Supporting Actress," Lin Xuan'er smacked her lips. "But Dying to Survive should be a sure thing for Best Picture."
Guan Fei gradually recovered at this time. She took a deep breath and continued:
"Let's not talk about movies anymore. Let's talk about something happy. Why don't we go check out the first batch of reviews?"
Everyone nodded enthusiastically. They were not worried about the reviews at all, and even had a feeling that the ratings would be amazing.
I first opened the two major ticket purchasing apps, Yunpiaopiao and Miaoyan. The score of "Dying to Survive", which had been released for two hours, had already been released.
"Am I seeing things?" Guan Fei couldn't control her voice anymore. She thought she was seeing things.
Tang Yue immediately stretched her neck forward, staring intently at the screen, and her expression gradually became exaggerated.
"9.6? Is this the highest rating we've ever seen?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Bai Yangyu said professionally. "Some niche art films have gotten 9.7. But 9.6 is already quite high. If more people rate it, and it can hold steady at 9.5, it will be the best-received commercial film of the year."
Zhou Yiyang didn't look at the ratings at this moment. He sat next to Ning Mang and listened to the rich second generation's sighs for a long time.
"I didn't expect you to like this movie so much," Zhou Yiyang smiled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere with a joke: "Then why don't I ask Director Chang to come out so you can talk alone?"
"No need," Ning Mang shook his head. "I'll be so excited to see Director Chang that I won't be able to speak. Old Zhou, what's the structure of your brain? How come all your scripts are so good! Seriously, if your movie doesn't win the National Day box office, I'll just book out the theater and buy your box office!"
"That's not necessary," Zhou Yiyang said immediately, "You have too little confidence in the aesthetic standards of Chinese audiences! I think the box office will definitely go up."
"No," Ning Mang said anxiously, "I have to take a look now, otherwise I really won't be at ease."
He turned on his phone, and the first push notification he received was from Weibo.
"Oh," Ning Mang beamed. "Weibo is promoting you, saying that 'Dying to Survive' is getting a huge hit! Wow, word of mouth has spread so quickly?"
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang looked quite surprised: "I thought it would take some time!"
When he opened Weibo, he saw that several senior film critics that Zhou Yiyang followed had indeed posted reviews of "Dying to Survive".
A great film! Director Chang Tiesheng has really exploded this time! If you're planning to go to the cinema soon, definitely go see "Dying to Survive"!
After watching the movie, I sat in the theater and thought for a long time. I recalled the plot, sorted out my emotions, reviewed the details... It's been a long time since I've done this in a theater. I'm very grateful to Director Chang and CEO Zhou for bringing "Dying to Survive" to my fellow filmmakers. It's a good lesson for today's impulsive colleagues.
[A commercial film with depth.]
Ning Mang said with a smile, "Old Zhou, it seems I'm superficial. Word of mouth spreads so quickly these days! I wonder when the box office will catch up!"
"What time is it now?" Zhou Yiyang asked.
"The first place is still 'Tomorrow's Sonata'. It's good to have a fixed audience. The gap between the second and third places is very small. I estimate that within an hour, 'Dying to Survive' will rush to second place."
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Then I'm very satisfied with this result. At this rate, I should be able to become number one within two days."
The crew of "Tomorrow Sonata", who had just been celebrating with champagne, now all looked a little embarrassed.
"Isn't this reputation and rating too exaggerated?" an investor asked in confusion.
The director didn't say anything, but he knew full well that Zhou Yiyang wasn't one to buy points. So this evaluation must be true.
But he was unwilling to admit that this movie could be so good.
"By the way, why hasn't our film's rating come out yet? If you didn't know, you'd think it was zero!"
The director had to explain: "I let them lock in fans, and it cost some money. Otherwise... if everyone saw it was only 7.1 points, no one would watch it."
