Chapter 206 He's just a singer, what does he know about movies?
Is this a preparation for a re-release?
"Ten yuan? That's less than the price of a pack of cigarettes, wow."
"That day happened to be a weekend, and I presented Tianyi with a movie ticket on his birthday."
"..."
Nobody cares whether it's a premiere or not.
Logically speaking, since so many years have passed since the Dragon movie was released, even if it were to be shown in China, it shouldn't have been shown in theaters, but rather through online movie streaming platforms.
However, no one felt that Qiu Ruoshui's handling of the situation was inappropriate.
This is normal.
The movie "Dragon" premiered overseas, but not in China. Now it's being shown in China, and whether it's shown in theaters or online is entirely up to the production company.
Moreover, in today's market where movie tickets are generally around fifty yuan, Qiu Ruoshui's ticket price is quite friendly.
The only downside is that it might take up some movie screenings, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Qiu Ruoshui is the big boss of Yiruo Cinema, and her word is law.
Once the news was released, it was known to countless Tianyi fans and sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Because of Qiu Ruoshui's secrecy and copyright protection, they still know the movie's title, but have no idea about the specific content.
While netizens have high hopes, there are also many who are pessimistic. Although many crossover singers succeed, most of them are promoted too much.
Moreover, singers and actors are two completely unrelated professions. It is easier for an actor to become a singer, but conversely, it is much more difficult for a singer to become an actor if they are not formally trained.
Netizens have formed a stereotype about Zhou Tianyi, believing that he is undoubtedly a top singer, but his acting skills are not necessarily professional.
Both sides held their own opinions, but the pessimists currently had the upper hand, with all sorts of articles and analyses emerging, seemingly already predicting the outcome of Zhou Tianyi's film.
When Gong Xueer got home from get off work, she was too lazy to check the trending topics on Weibo. She didn't even need to look to know that they were mostly related to Zhou Tianyi.
Many articles analyzing Zhou Tianyi's films have, unusually, trended on social media due to the current popularity of the films, gaining widespread attention and forming a certain consensus.
At first, she would click on a few articles to browse, but eventually she became too lazy to read them. They were all basically the same, and there was no point in reading them. This kind of analysis seemed too childish to her.
Since the movie hasn't even been released yet, it can only be called a prediction beforehand. But what does a prediction have to do with the actual situation? Can anyone really predict what will happen after Zhou Tianyi's movie is released?
During her time working at Hunan Broadcasting System, Gong Xueer's biggest takeaway from predictions was to take them with a grain of salt, because she had seen too many predictions that didn't match reality.
However, although she wasn't interested in predictions, she was very interested in Zhou Tianyi's movies, so after she finished everything, she started contacting her friends abroad, who should have been there during the day.
"Xue'er, it should be nighttime now, why are you calling me so late, are you missing me?"
During the video call, her friend's clear face quickly appeared on the computer screen. Gong Xue'er nodded slightly and smiled, "Yes, I've missed you so much."
After a brief chat about their daily lives and what they had seen and heard, Gong Xueer asked, "Annie, I have something to ask you."
"I knew you wouldn't contact me just for a chat. Here you go, it's one question and one kiss. Don't refuse, okay?" Annie grinned mischievously.
Gong Xue'er rolled her eyes and pouted, "Have you seen Long's 'Lucky Star Project'?"
“Oh my god, how could you ask such an insulting question? Of course I’ve seen it, haven’t you?” Annie said with a rich expression and a full tone, as if she had seen it before.
"No," Gong Xue'er said helplessly, her face falling.
"Okay, sister, all I can say is that it's beautiful. I can't describe how beautiful it is. You'll have to see it for yourself to know."
"I still remember that I didn't believe that Chinese people could make any good movies at all. But after I watched them, I realized that they weren't Chinese people at all. They must have been sent by God to save the film industry."
"It took me more than ten days to recover after watching it. It was the first time I realized that movies could be made like this."
"Oh, I'm sorry, honey, I'm so excited. You know, I rarely get this excited. It's all because of Long. His movies are so good. Now many of my classmates like him."
"By the way, I remember he's from China. If you have the chance, could you help me get an autographed photo of Long? Just sign it on your mouth. I'll come and pick it up myself once I get it."
"..." Faced with Annie's unbridled remarks, if it weren't for knowing her personality, it would probably be difficult to handle. However, after listening to Annie's words, Gong Xueer fell into deep doubt. Is Zhou Tianyi's movie really that good?
I don't know, but I'm inexplicably filled with a sense of anticipation.
...
Back home from training, Susan browsed Weibo as usual, and seeing the overwhelming pessimism online, she sneered:
"Go ahead and mock them now. Once the Dragon movie is released, you'll see that you're witnessing a miracle."
"It will completely overturn your previous understanding of movies and let you know that movies can be made in this way."
"It's quite funny, as a Chinese person, I've only just now seen such a wonderful movie."
"But it's not too late. Even after decades, Dragon movies can still outshine any other movie."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to get angry with these guys. I'd rather use this time to rewatch the Dragon movie. There are many of the moves I still can't do. Dragon is just too amazing."
