"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Lin Duanzheng felt his face suddenly touch a layer of soft skin. He was startled and quickly sat up straight and apologized to Haiyao.
Haiyao looked at him with disappointment on her face. After a moment, she finally sighed:
"It doesn't matter."
Seeing that his ex-wife seemed really angry, Lin Duanzheng quickly continued to explain:
"I'm sorry, you know me, I really didn't mean it."
Haiyao smiled and said, "I should be the one to say sorry. I'm not pretty enough and I made you suffer."
Lin Duanzheng was stunned, obviously not understanding what this meant.
At this time, the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie began.
Haiyao also sat up straight, no longer holding Lin Duanzheng's hand, and said lightly:
"Let's go to the movies."
Lin Duanzheng saw his ex-wife staring intently at the big screen, her soft, bright red lips tightly pursed, looking as if she was no longer angry. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the big screen.
Haiyao glanced at him secretly, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then really concentrated on watching the movie, ignoring Lin Duanzheng completely.
The atmosphere between the two became subtle, while the two little girls next to them began to get excited, because the movie began with a fierce battle between the captain of the special forces played by Zhang Xuyuan and his subordinates and aliens.
"Wow, Brother Yuan is so handsome!"
"Brother Yuan is so powerful, he killed an alien with one sword!"
"Wow, Brother Yuan fought a whole battle and his hair didn't even get messy. He's really strong!"
"Huh? Why do I feel like Brother Yuan's face is a little too clean? Aren't you fighting a war?"
The special effects of this battle were indeed well done, but what was very disconcerting was that Zhang Xuyuan's human troops suffered heavy casualties. Although they won the battle, they were all covered in mud and blood and looked miserable.
Only the captain played by Zhang Xuyuan was exceptionally clean. Even his iconic death-like middle-parted hair was not messed up at all, and his fair and tender face was not stained with even a drop of blood.
But the footage just now clearly showed that he killed at least five or six alien monsters by himself.
After watching this clip, many viewers couldn't help but talk about it, and some even laughed out loud.
Even the two little girls who were fans of "Brother Yuan" felt something was not right after some awkward praise.
"It seems so. Maybe that's just Brother Yuan's personality. The others are too weak, so they get dirty in battle, but Brother Yuan is too strong, so he can kill the enemy easily?"
A little girl was still trying to make excuses for Zhang Xuyuan.
Fortunately, this was just a small episode and the audience did not dwell on it too much. After all, apart from Zhang Xuyuan’s fans, most people came for Zhou Ming and Su Ying, the two best actor and actress winners.
However, after the movie was halfway through, many viewers became angry.
"What's going on? Isn't this a lie?"
"Why do Zhou Ming and Su Ying have so few scenes? Who are the main characters?"
"Why is it this pretty boy from beginning to end?"
"Doesn't the poster say Zhou Ming and Su Ying are the protagonists? They must be lying!"
"So this pretty boy is the protagonist, and Zhou Ming and Su Ying are just guest appearances! We've been fooled!"
These audiences who bought tickets just for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards finally discovered that Zhou Ming and Su Ying didn’t have many shots in the entire movie, and the real male lead was actually Zhang Xuyuan!
The audience was very depressed. Where were the best actor, best actress and best actress?
But even after the movie had been playing for more than an hour, Zhou Ming's shots totaled no more than ten minutes, and Su Ying was even worse off, she only showed up briefly in the middle of the movie and was soon killed.
It feels like this movie was made just to promote Zhang Xuyuan, and they even let the best actor and actress act with him.
Isn't this deceiving the audience?
That’s not all, many viewers also came for the special effects.
Objectively speaking, the special effects production of "No Way Out" is still good, and many battle scenes are no worse than those of foreign blockbusters.
However, there are very few such grand special effects scenes, which are basically the same as those in the trailer.
This is a movie that truly crams all the essence into the trailer. After watching the trailer, you don’t need to watch the movie.
That’s not all. Zhang Xuyuan, the real protagonist, also failed to live up to expectations. Not only was he reluctant to sacrifice his image, his acting skills were basically zero. He was almost a walking line-reciting machine.
Many of the lines are basically just read out loud without any emotional ups and downs at all.
That too clean face is completely out of tune with the whole movie.
Even the final decisive battle with all the special effects turned on was ruined by his poor performance, and the audience was completely unable to empathize with the story.
By the end, even the two little girls who were Zhang Xuyuan’s fans were silent.
The movie ended and the lights came on.
The almost full theater was silent.
"Forty dollars, what a shame."
A man stood up and complained helplessly. The woman next to him stood up silently. The man said to her depressedly:
"I knew it wouldn't be good, but you insisted on watching it. What a waste of time! I might as well play a few ranked games."
The woman looked at the man with her eyes widened, and then she quickly lost her confidence and said awkwardly:
"I thought Zhang Xuyuan was pretty handsome and would be good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be... Sorry, I'll play solo with you tonight, is that okay?"
The two of them walked out with their heads down, and the other audience members also stood up and walked out of the theater in silence without much communication between them.
The main reason is that there is basically nothing to discuss about this movie, and no one knows what to say.
