Chapter 648
The four of them happily went into the cinema to watch a movie, but looked at each other in surprise when they came out of the cinema.
Father Yu felt that he should not discourage his son's enthusiasm, and said, "Actually, Xiao Jing acted quite well in the film. He is the best-looking one among the Jinyiwei."
Yu's mother also became proud: "Yes, my son is good-looking. Among others, only the emperor can compare with my son. By the way, the actress Zhong's acting was also good. Mom almost cried when she saw it."
As for finding other advantages, Yu's mother found it a bit difficult. She almost fell asleep while watching the clips without her son. As for Yu's father, don't think she didn't see them, his head was nodding.
Yan Yuansen smiled and said, "Let's go back and watch TV. The palace costume drama starring Yuan Jing is now on."
Yu's father and mother immediately perked up: "Yes, let's go back and watch TV."
After the first show, the audience who came to see Director Wei, Award Winner Zhong, Award Winner Fan, and Cen Yu didn’t know what to say to express their feelings at the moment, which were complicated and disappointing. Many people left just two words online: Haha.
What does this mean? Netizens waiting for the first wave of moviegoers' reviews were confused. Is this a good movie or a mockery?
It took a while before the second comment appeared. This time it had four words, and it finally added: It’s hard to put it into words.
Those who were waiting to enter the cinema or were watching the movie had a bad feeling when they saw these two messages.
Finally, I got a relatively normal comment: "I fully understand other people's feelings. I can only say that this movie is not even half as good as Director Wei's previous movies. From beginning to end, I won't mention the lame plot. Actor Fan's acting is also hard to describe. What is commendable is that Cen Yu is still as beautiful as ever, and her acting skills are not a drag. There is no need to mention actress Zhong. There is also a royal guard whose appearance and temperament can compete with Cen Yu. As for the others, I don't want to say anything. I'm going to find out who that handsome boy is. I spent dozens of dollars to go to the cinema to see two handsome guys, and it's not too much of a waste."
The competition for movies during the Spring Festival has always been the most intense, but among the several movies this year, Director Wei is the most famous. Coupled with the participation of big names and overwhelming marketing, audiences' first choice is often Director Wei's The Secret Agent of Ming Dynasty. The pre-sale tickets before the official release alone amounted to several hundred million yuan. It is generally believed that The Secret Agent of Ming Dynasty will be the box office champion of this Spring Festival.
But now seeing these comments has made some people feel shaken, but whether it is good or not, they still have to go to the cinema to watch it first. There are also fans of Queen Zhong, Emperor Fan and Cen Yu, who bought tickets to support their idols.
In a small group of four.
Hua Yicai: ...
Cen Yu: …
Tong Lian: ...
Yuan Jing thought about it and also sent a string of “…”, and the formation was no longer disrupted, so the four of them lined up neatly.
Hua Yicai finally spoke up, "I bought a ticket to the cinema to support you, but I have to say, what the hell is Director Wei shooting this time? The case is solved anticlimactically, and instead of talking about solving the case seriously, it has to involve a love triangle, with the emperor and the spy fighting for the same woman. Director Wei also made such a tacky and bloody thing? I think it's a waste of your face, Cen Yu, and in the end he couldn't even beat the spy."
Cen Yu: "Pfft! Sister Hua, didn't I remind you to be prepared? This movie won't be ideal. Of course, I didn't expect it to be this bad. Anyway, I'm ready to be scolded. Director Wei will definitely be very disappointed."
Yuan Jing was very cold: "That was his own choice and compromise, and he can only bear the consequences."
In fact, with Director Wei's status, there is no need for him to compromise with those investors. At this point, Yuan Jing can only say that Director Wei may not be completely innocent, and he may have reached some agreement with those investors.
As the screenings ended one after another, the voices of criticism online became louder and louder, with some even suspecting that the film was only credited to Director Wei, but was actually shot by other directors. But no one believed this. The fact is that Director Wei's quality in this film has dropped significantly. He was only thinking about making money, thinking that he could trick audiences into the cinema with his big names.
There were also many people cursing Fan Yu. Although his fans were jumping for joy, Fan Yu's image became more and more gloomy as time went on. Who wants to watch a movie with a male lead like this during the Chinese New Year? It affects people's mood. In the end, they can only use Cen Yu and a Jinyi guard to wash their eyes.
Fan Yu's fans were so angry that they attacked Cen Yu online again, bringing up the issue of him being disrespectful to his seniors.
No matter how hard fans tried to save the film, and no matter how much marketing and internet trolls tried, they were unable to stop the decline of The Secret Agent of Ming Dynasty. The film dropped to second place in both screenings and box office on the second day, and its reputation declined even more sharply. On the contrary, another film that was not directed by a big name or starred by a big star emerged as a dark horse.
Fan Yu was very unhappy. After seeing those comments online, he was so angry that he threw his phone into pieces. He lost a lot of weight and looked more gloomy and mean. He seemed like two completely different people compared to his previous image.
His temples were throbbing and he was getting more and more irritable. Ever since he came back from the movie after it was finished, he started having dreams at night. In his dreams, a hideous-looking child always hugged him, calling him daddy or howling like a ghost. From that night on, he hadn't been able to sleep peacefully.
He suspected that the scary child in his dream was the ghost Mantong he worshipped, otherwise he would not call him dad. He did not care about letting Ghost Mantong deal with Cen Yu. It was important to solve his own nightmare first. However, no matter whether he let blood or offered other blood food, he could not stop dreaming about the same scene every night. Day by day, even the best man would be tortured to death.
For this reason, he turned down invitations from several stations' Spring Festival Galas, as well as invitations from two variety shows. No matter how depressed he was, he knew that he could not appear in front of the audience with his current image.
Fan Yu was almost driven crazy by the torture, and even thought about smashing the enshrined ghost Mantong, but he held back in the end. Finally, one day he found a phone number that had been hidden for a long time and dialed it. It had been more than ten years, but he didn't expect that this number could still be dialed.
"Hello, who's looking for you?" The voice on the other end was hoarse, like a poisonous snake.
But Fan Yu did not dare to have the slightest disrespect in his heart, because he had personally experienced how powerful this man was, and thanks to this master, he had been able to enjoy glory for more than ten years, instead of being unknown no matter how hard he tried before.
"It's me, Fan Yu. There's something wrong with my ghost Mantong. Master, please help me."
There was silence for a while before a voice rang out: "You know my rules. Prepare the money and wait for me to come. Is it the same address as before?"
"Yes, thank you Master, I will definitely be ready, Master, don't worry."
It's just money. He can earn back any amount of money, but he cannot lose his current position.
Shi Shu came back from outside and told Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen the news that his younger brother had been watching. Yan Yuansen raised his lips and said, "He finally couldn't hold back and moved. He was waiting for this moment."
Although Yuan Jing delayed the outbreak of the ghost baby in Fan Yu, he did not let Fan Yu live a happy life. Fan Yu would dream every night that the ghost baby was Yuan Jing's doing, and now he has caught a big fish. It seems that the waiting time was worth it.
"Mom and Dad, we have to go out for something."
"Okay, you young people go and have fun by yourselves. Your father and I are going to go out for a walk. By the way, bring some extra money." Yu's mother reminded them. This time, Yan Yuansen will spend the New Year at Yu's house, and Yu's father and mother also prepared a big red envelope for him.
In the past, everyone would go back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year, after all, their parents are still alive. But this year, no one left the capital, and they only greeted old friends over the phone. As for Yu Ma's relatives, they planned to find time after the Chinese New Year to bring them to the capital for a tour.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention those people from their hometown, as if they didn't exist.
As for why the people in my hometown are so disappointed, it has nothing to do with them. It is the result of their past actions.
"I get it. You guys have fun too." Yuan Jing waved his hand and ran out. Da Huang and Xiao Hei followed behind him. They also wanted to watch the fun.
The two of them took the three monsters out of the community. The three monsters squatted at the back. They were all in their original forms and were very obedient. They didn't dare to make any noise.
When they were almost at the house where the ghost Mantong was enshrined, Shi Shu went downstairs and came back to tell Yuan Jing and the others that Fan Yu was still the only one in the house.
So the two of them waited outside, and it was quite interesting to browse their phones and chat. The three monsters were all quite old, including the cat monster and the dog monster, and listening to them talk about the things and people they encountered in the past was enough to entertain them for a long time.
"Here they come." Yuan Jing noticed the movement in front and used a concealment talisman on the three monsters to prevent them from revealing their demonic aura and being discovered by the evildoer.
Yan Yuansen called Fan Yiyong. When encountering such things, he still prefers to find someone he knows. He also asked the special department to send someone to take over. They only need to arrest people and leave the rest to others.
Yuan Jing and his companions had very strong spiritual power. They secretly kept an eye on the people approaching the house and were not worried about attracting the attention of the evildoers.
As they were paying attention, a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance appeared. Such a person would be easily overlooked in a crowd. The middle-aged man walked to the front of the house, took out a key from a location, opened the door and walked in. Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen waited for a while before getting out of the car, but the middle-aged man and Fan Yu who stayed in the house could not escape their soul power surveillance.
Yuan Jing passed the images he saw to the three demons to see if they had ever come into contact with this evil way. The aura on his body was very restrained. Of course, this was for other people in metaphysics, but in the eyes of Yuan Jing and the other two, he could not hide too much.
The two discovered that the shell did not match the soul inside, and that the shell of a middle-aged man actually contained a very corrupt and old soul.
