Yang Kai is listed as an assistant director, and Starlight Entertainment benefits from this; if a film is nominated, Starlight Entertainment can also attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
Li Gui and Yang Kai exchanged a glance and prepared to leave the movie theater to return to the company.
Unexpectedly.
An unexpected scene unfolded.
After the audience from the other screening rooms came out, more than half of them left the cinema directly, while the remaining small half, who were looking for a higher quality storyline, wanted to buy another movie ticket.
"No, when I first started watching it, I thought it was a bad movie. I didn't pay much attention to many of the foreshadowing elements and just rushed through them. I have to watch it again."
"It's almost time to start work, I need to ask my supervisor for leave."
"After seeing how the later plot of The Truman Show came together logically, it really gave me a sense of being ahead of its time."
"And the music in this movie is divine."
"I searched it up, and the two insert songs are 'Ten Years' and 'The Wind Rises.' The ending theme is light music called 'Thoughts Across Time,' which is also very nice. I've followed all those singers."
"More than focusing on the singers, I was surprised that Teacher Zhaoyang had quietly released three more musical works."
"I was worried that filming the movie would interfere with the music, but it turns out Li was waiting for us here!"
"..."
These audience members gathered together because they wanted to buy another movie ticket to watch the film again, so they felt that they had found like-minded people to queue up with and discuss the music or plot details of the movie.
Zhang Fengxue, who had already come out, was now completely bewildered. The movie was over, and according to her previous plan, she should now go home to write articles, edit videos, and start criticizing Li Zhaoyang's new movie.
But this movie is of such high quality, how could she criticize it?
Should we force ourselves to criticize?
The audience has discerning eyes; we shouldn't let the little bit of goodwill we've built up crumble in the end.
Why is the quality so high?
If the quality is even slightly inferior, she can seize on a small flaw or loophole and criticize it relentlessly. Anyway, she has already received the money and taken care of the criticism, so she has no further concern herself with what happens next.
After much deliberation, I had no choice but to call Watanabe, the person in charge in Rizhao.
After Zhang Fengxue left the movie theater, another beautiful figure emerged from the direction where she had just been standing.
If Li Zhaoyang were here, he would recognize who she is.
Flowers play with shadows.
She had just finished watching The Truman Show.
During this time, she had been thinking about how to create an opportunity to break the ice between herself and Li Zhaoyang.
Now she has found her opportunity.
Li Zhaoyang is indeed my ideal man. Not only is his music great, but his movies are also fantastic.
The three pieces of music in this movie are all of very high quality, and she regrets not coming to the United States sooner.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
It's not too late to come now.
Later, we can use the excuse of celebrating Li Zhaoyang's birthday to arrange a private meeting.
If you just ask them out for a bite to eat and a few drinks, everything will fall into place naturally.
Hahaha……
My mother is truly a talent.
With a wonderful mood, Hua Nongying was about to leave the movie theater when a series of voices caught her attention.
"What? Tickets for The Truman Show are no longer being sold?"
"No, are you kidding me? This movie was pulled from sale right after its release, is that intentional?"
"Holy crap, are they going to stop selling this movie because it's so good, and then raise the price later? How ruthless!!"
"..."
These words made Hua Nongying stop in her tracks and turn around.
A large crowd of moviegoers had gathered around the ticket counter.
Some audience members had just arrived and didn't understand what was going on.
"Here's the thing... This movie is about to be taken off the shelves, and it should be available online, which will save you the cost of movie tickets!"
The person selling tickets at the front desk used to be a young woman, but now it's a middle-aged man.
He is clearly the person in charge of this movie theater.
Having received a message from President Wang beforehand, he already knew what to do.
It was taken off the screens three hours after its release.
It was about two hours after the premiere ended.
Therefore, with less than an hour left, it's impossible to sell any more tickets for the Truman movie.
Fearing that it would attract a lot of criticism, the person in charge took the best approach to deal with it.
It may be released online in a while, saving viewers the cost of movie tickets.
They immediately shifted the focus of their criticism.
As for when it will be available online, that's not something he, the person in charge, knows.
Anyway, he didn't say when it would be available, but used vague words like "at that time," "after some time," and "should" instead.
The audience looked surprised after hearing this.
Is this for real?
For viewers who don't lack that little bit of money, this elicited strong protests.
"No, we don't need those dollars, I want to see it now!"
"Yes, we want to see it now. I still need to catch up on a lot of details that I missed earlier!"
"Yes, after the theatrical release, we don't know when it will be available online."
"..."
Hua Nongying sensed something was off; why would she put something online if she wasn't going to make money?
Products are only listed online when sales are poor.
Hua Nongying thought about calling Li Zhaoyang, but then decided against it and decided to call Bian Ling'er directly and ask her to ask the supervisor instead. That would be better.
...
Outside the movie theater.
After Zhang Fengxue got through to Watanabe, she went straight to the point: "Watanabe-kun, this deal you put me on isn't going to be easy to develop."
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Did you pay too little?"
Watanabe knew this situation all too well; he just wanted to raise the price again temporarily.
Zhang Fengxue shook her head and replied, "Li Zhaoyang's film is of very high quality. I just finished watching it, and all the points I recorded are now invalid. In addition, the film features three musical masterpieces... well, calling them musical masterpieces is a bit too arbitrary. In short, all three musical pieces are great to watch."
Taking Watanabe No's money and praising his work to his face shows that Li Zhaoyang's music is indeed very powerful.
However.
Watanabe had anticipated this. Although he hadn't heard the music, it wasn't hard to tell from Chairman Ka's attitude at the time.
Moreover, Li Zhaoyang's musical talent is truly undeniable.
So Watanabe's focus is entirely on the film: "You just said that Li Zhaoyang's film is of very high quality? How high?"
Zhang Fengxue: "A conservative estimate would be a 9.2 rating; it's hard to say if it goes any higher."
She hadn't noticed many of the foreshadowing elements earlier in the story, so she didn't realize how shocking the connection between the earlier plot and the later revelation of the truth was.
To everyone's surprise, Watanabe laughed and said, "Wow... Li Zhaoyang is already this good just starting out in the film and television industry? But it doesn't matter. The higher the quality of his movies, the less we lose. On the contrary, after they're taken down, Wanxia will only be more frustrated."
Especially Li Zhaoyang.
I dream of seeing Li Zhaoyang fly into a rage.
Zhang Fengxue: "Then what about me?"
Watanabe: "Anyway, I've taken the money. You can be on standby anytime. I'll call you when I need you. That's all for now."
"Okay, Watanabe-kun."
