This man knows how to hype

Chapter 273: A Bad Movie

"what?"

In the cinema, Yang Xueqing lowered her voice and uttered "ah" for the sixth time.

Every time she said "ah", she would turn her head and look at Xu Xiyu with her beautiful big eyes, with surprise, confusion and what the hell was this.

Xu Xiyu's reaction was not much better than hers.

There is a difference between the preview version and the original version. The original version was nearly two and a half hours long, while the preview version was cut by half an hour.

Without this half hour, the already far-fetched logic becomes even more far-fetched.

Who would have thought that with such a creative background as "The Dawn of the Sun", our director Zhao turned it into a melodramatic love drama.

The plot is roughly like this: in the fourth year after the arrival of the Morning Star, a small spaceship sneaked out from the Morning Star. There were two aliens on the small spaceship. These two aliens were brother and sister, the second male and the first female.

The identities of the two are very special, they are the son and daughter of Captain Morning Star.

Later, they met the male lead and the second female lead on the Blue Planet.

Initially, due to their racial differences, the four people were in a hostile state, but as their contacts deepened, they slowly became good friends.

Not only that, the two aliens also drove their little spaceship and took the male lead and the second female lead to explore outer space.

The male protagonist and the second female lead also took the two aliens to visit the scenery of the blue planet and talked about the culture of the blue planet.

After spending a lot of space to express the plot of you take me around and I take you around, the male protagonist and the female protagonist fall in love.

But the second female lead also loves the male lead, and the second male lead also feels that there is no future for his sister to be with the Blue Star people.

So, both of them began to oppose this marriage.

But the more opposition there is, the deeper the love between the hero and heroine becomes.

Not only that, the two of them also decided to elope, away from the two cages of Blue Star and Morning Star, to feel the vastness of the universe.

Just when the two were about to leave, the male protagonist inexplicably felt that he should take on the responsibility of saving humanity.

The heroine was inspired by the hero's courage and responsibility. After a sex scene, the heroine decided to go back and steal the "dark matter cannon blueprints" that could destroy the Morning Star and give them to the hero.

I hope the male protagonist can figure it out so as to intimidate the Morning Star and keep it away from the Blue Star, thus achieving the goal of peace.

That is, during the stealing process, the female lead accidentally triggered the self-protection mechanism of the blueprint. Her brother, the male lead, stepped forward at the critical moment and unfortunately died to protect her.

After being sad for a while, the heroine overcame many obstacles and returned to Blue Star, handing the drawings to the hero.

The second female lead was touched at this time, so she agreed to the two of them being together. Not only that, she suddenly realized that she had always loved the second male lead.

Then, the movie ends with the male lead and the second female lead living up to the male lead's promise and with the male and female leads kissing each other.

That's right.

That's it.

Then in the easter egg at the end of the film, the heroine's father said to the aliens on the Morning Star with a gloomy face that he would launch an attack on the Blue Planet in three years.

It can be seen that Lao Zhao intends to keep the hook for the second film.

But the first part is already in such a mess. Who with so much money would invest in the second part?
Even if you make a second film, the audience may not be fooled again.

The facts were just as Xu Xiyu thought.

After the movie ended, there was a long silence until Zhao Mengwen led a group of creators wearing "Qiming's Coming" T-shirts in.

The theater was bustling again.

Listen to the cheers around you.

Looking at the people who kept clapping.

Yang Xueqing was already numb.

Oh my god, after investing 6.5 million, this is what I get?

The plot is terrible.

Special effects, special effects, 50 cents.

If I have to say something worthy of praise, it would probably be the film's soundtrack, which is pretty good, and the beautiful real-life scenery of various places.

No matter how mediocre Zhao Mengwen is, he still has some aesthetic sense when taking pictures of the scenery.

But this is not a landscape documentary.

Besides, if it is just pure scenery, then it’s fine, just treat it as a feast for the eyes.

While enjoying the scenery, you also have to watch an alien woman and a blue star man looking at the scenery while speaking a conversation in Chinese using English writing habits.

That's so pretentious and hypocritical.

Simply speechless.

Thinking of this, Yang Xueqing looked at Xu Xiyu next to her, only to see that he was clapping with a smile on his face, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

So Yang Xueqing quickly followed suit and applauded, while thinking about what she should say during the interaction later.

In fact, she wasn't the only one crafting her words.

The invited artists and even some of the audience were wondering how they could help promote the show.
Everyone who came to attend the preview received gifts, this is simply a case of taking gifts and being unworthy.

But this movie is really hard to praise.

What is this?

It's like it's only been filmed halfway. If you had just had a big scene of the Blue Star fighting the Morning Star at the end, everyone wouldn't be so awkward here.

Of course, not everyone has this kind of psychological pressure. Because the male lead of "Qiming's Advent" is a top-tier young actor, and the female lead is also a popular artist, both of them have their own fans.

There were many of their fans present, but they didn't think much of the movie. They just thought it was handsome and touching that the brother saved Blue Star for love.

At the same time, fans of the female lead are also dissatisfied that her sister does not seem to have as many roles as Lu Qinyao.

However, this is the preview site after all, so even if you are dissatisfied, you have to wait until you get back to start the fight.

Now, it’s better to interact as soon as possible.

You know what, with these fans there to create atmosphere, the roadshow looked pretty presentable.

As the interaction went on, the host finally cueed Xu Xiyu.

She smiled and said, "I believe everyone has seen that our film producer Xu Xiyu is also here today.

Mr. Xu, after watching this movie, do you have anything to say to our creators and the audience? Also, what do you think of this movie? "

After the question was asked, the microphone was handed to Xu Xiyu by the staff.

He stood up and held up the microphone and said: "First of all, I would like to thank the audience for coming here today to support our "Apocalypse".

It is because of your support that we have the motivation to continue creating and to continuously contribute more and better works to the audience, so thank you all.”

As soon as these words came out.

There was a burst of applause at the scene, accompanied by laughter.

Some people laugh purely out of support.

Some people laughed, and they were simply amused by Xu Xiyu.

God, please contribute more and better works.

Would you like to take a look at this work?

This is the material with a Douban score of 3.0.

Listening to the laughter of the crowd, Xu Xiyu felt helpless. If he was not the producer, he would not be here telling lies with his eyes open.

Unfortunately, he is not only the producer, but his girlfriend, Lu Qinyao, is also the actual leading actress.

So, he could only continue to talk nonsense: "Just now the host asked me what I thought after watching this movie. I think, for me, this movie gave me a lot to think about.

The coming of the Morning Star is a sci-fi setting. But for all of us, the Morning Star hanging above our heads has actually existed since the moment we were born.

This morning star is called death. I am 23 years old this year. Assuming that the length of my life is 90 years, there will be a morning star above my head that will descend in 67 years.

Just as the morning star in the movie reminded everyone on the blue planet how to make use of those 47 years, the morning star above my head is also reminding me how to spend the remaining 67 years.

The encounter, acquaintance, and love between the male and female protagonists actually correspond to different stages in our lives. I believe that all of us have had a stage like them where we wanted to put everything aside and go see the stars and the sea together.

But in the end, everyone seems to have chosen to shoulder their own responsibilities and burdens to face all challenges. Perhaps in the process of facing challenges, we will lose something.

Just like the heroine lost her brother. But at the same time, we will also gain more hope and beauty, just like the dark matter cannon that can fight against the morning star.

This is also my favorite setting. Dark matter is a theoretically proposed invisible substance that may exist in the universe.

It is like the spirit and soul of each of us, a strong soul that will support us in facing the coming of enlightenment for everyone.

I think this is what Director Zhao wanted to express, especially the open ending. We don’t know what happened to the hero later, just like our lives are full of infinite possibilities. Thank you.”

As soon as Xu Xiyu finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

As for Yang Xueqing next to him, and Lu Qinyao standing in front of him, both of them were dumbfounded.

Wow, so this movie is about this story?
I guess I didn't understand?
Not only were they dumbfounded, but other artists present, including the film's main creators, and even director Zhao Mengwen and the screenwriter were also a little dumbfounded.

Does this movie have such a meaning?

When we were creating, we didn’t seem to think so much about it.

At the same time, the audience began to discuss in a low voice.

"No, is this movie really as profound as Mr. Dan said?"

"There is a deep meaning behind this. When the movie was playing just now, I was watching him the whole time. My goodness, this movie almost made him and Yang Xueqing stupid. Do you know what stupid means?"

"Because it's so beautiful, you're stunned?"

"You're crazy. It must be because it's too ugly to look at. That's why you're stunned."

"Then why did he just talk so much?"

"What if he is the chairman of the board? Damn, with all the time he spends talking nonsense, won't Huaqing's employees be overwhelmed by his pie?

I finally understand why this guy can always come up with classic quotes. It turns out that his basic skills are so solid that he can just say them out loud, right?"

"So what should we do? We'll promote this movie according to what he said?"

While the audience was whispering, the host cue a few people to interact, and after a few interactions, the roadshow entered its final stage.

That is the promotional song for this movie sung by Lv Qinyao.

The promotional song was written by Xu Xiyu.

It's called "Light Years Away".

When this song was sung by Lv Qinyao, the audience who were originally struggling with the issue suddenly realized how they should promote the movie.

Still promoting the movie?
What the hell is the point of promoting this song? Why not just promote how good it is?
In the future, even if someone criticizes me, I can always say "a great song comes from a bad movie". I didn't say this movie is good. You just misunderstood.
