Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 211 Released (3/4)

The climax of the movie "Our Girlhood" is when Lin Zhenxin bravely steps onto the stage for Xu Taiyu and challenges the authority of the disciplinary director in front of the entire school, which leads to spontaneous support from all sides...

Rebelling against authority is the most glorious thing for a teenager. It has nothing to do with gender, just be yourself!
That powerful vitality and the power to dominate oneself rather than give up are very touching, as if seeing a field of thriving sunflowers in the sun.

Of course, the ending of the story is also perfect: the idol saw it, and Xu Taiyu finally fulfilled his promise, "I will let Andy Lau sing it for you"!
When Andy Lau appeared on stage, the entire theater erupted in "Wows".

I never expected that Andy Lau would actually appear in the movie.

During the promotion, not a single word was revealed!

Suddenly I thought of Shen Yan's Weibo post, "There's a surprise in "My Girlhood"!"

It was indeed a surprise that Andy Lau was invited to make a guest appearance.

Oh, when Andy Lau appeared, it meant the movie was almost over, and Shen Yan pulled Shi Shi out of the screening room...

If I get recognized, I'll be in trouble.

The two returned to the hotel, and Shen Yan ordered a midnight snack...

I'm a little hungry, so I'll replenish my energy. Shishi is quite excited. I guess there will be a big battle tonight!
……

Early in the morning, Shen Yan got up and posted a Weibo:
"'My Girlhood' literally means 'myself' from Girls' Generation, and has nothing to do with that Korean girl group... A friend actually messaged me asking why I didn't film 'My Phoenix Legend'...

They also said that the opening could be a square dance, and at the end the hero and heroine embraced each other in the square dance...

Although I think it's very emotional, this is a Chinese film, not an Indian film... the singing and dancing elements are unnecessary!"

Then a bunch of netizens responded: "Is there really Andy Lau?"

"Oh my god, how did you convince Andy Lau to make a cameo appearance?"

“What a big surprise…”

Shen Yan replied: "Mr. Liu Dehua was very kind to invite me. I sent him the script and wrote a letter, and then he came!"

He chatted and joked with his online friend for half an hour, then went into the bathroom, washed up, and went downstairs to eat...

Guo Fan and Chen Xiao have already sat down at the table...

Yang Siwei was also there, she was on the phone.

Shen Yan brought in a pile of food, set it on the table, and was about to start eating when Yang Siwei asked him, "Where's Shi Shi?"

"She can sleep a little longer... Anyway, our first roadshow doesn't start until 10:..."

"Take it easy!"

"...No, she insisted on going to the midnight show last night, and it was almost three o'clock when she came back..."

"The midnight show grossed 180 million!"

Chen Xiao asked: "Is it considered high?"

"Not bad, it broke the record for Chinese-language films at midnight!"

Guo Fan interjected: "Our midnight show statistics were pioneered by the Transformers series. When Transformers 2 was released, it set a midnight show box office record in many cities across China and ultimately raked in 350 million yuan at the box office.

Later, the films "Avatar" and "Let the Bullets Fly" also achieved very good box office results in the midnight show. The former broke the midnight show box office record with a box office of 400 million, while the latter broke the midnight show box office record for Chinese-language films with a box office of over one million.

Shen Yan interjected, "But it was Transformers 3 that really ignited the midnight show. Its midnight show grossed 180 million, instantly raising the midnight show's box office to the tens of millions level... We only have million... It's not enough!"

Yang Siwei: "So, the publicity company doesn't plan to hype this topic..." "Guangguang is really stingy, can't we just increase the box office?"

"Inflating the box office? Do you mean buying the box office?"

Shen Yan: "Yeah, spend 15 million and break the record...the popularity of our movie will skyrocket!"

Yang Siwei glanced at him and said, "Guangguang has worked very hard to secure 18,000 appearances..."

"I was just joking..." Shen Yan smiled. "Old Wang is quite decent. He definitely doesn't let his artists drink with him... This is something that is very hard to do in the entire industry!"

Not only in the entertainment industry, but also in many seemingly high-class circles, alcohol and sex transactions are popular...

This is what the Evergrande Song and Dance Troupe does!
After chatting for a while, Shishi also went downstairs and had something to eat...

A group of people started a roadshow!

Yang Tianbao didn't come. I heard she was filming "Black & White Heroes: All Out War"

I communicated with her and she will be present at the roadshow in Shanghai.

……

"Little Lucky" composed and written by Shen Yan and sung by Liu Shishi sounded, the lights in the theater came on, and the movie ended with the backs of Ma Yili and Tong Dawei.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Shen Yan led the other leading actors in bowing to the audience several times.

It’s a roadshow, so there will still be reporters and media.

A reporter from the Brooklyn Morning News asked, "Why did you make such a film? Because judging by the title, it doesn't seem like something that could be explored from a male perspective... and the main creative force behind this play seems to be all men, right?"

"I wrote a martial arts novel called 'You Fei,' which sold very well," Shen Yan explained. "Even better than the 'Lotus Tower' novel before it aired... And when I was chatting with Shi Shi, she said she really liked Zixia from 'A Chinese Odyssey'. My ideal man is a peerless hero, and one day he'll come to marry me on a rainbow cloud..."

"So, the prototype of Lin Zhenxin is Liu Shishi?"

"That's not the case," Shen Yan thought for a moment. "In fact, there have been youth films in China before, such as 'Sunny Days', but it focuses more on the hesitation and pain of youth, as well as the many embarrassments, deficiencies, frustrations, and pains that come with it...

From a man's perspective, it appears introverted and deep, rational and repressed, with a sense of thorough understanding of the world - this can indeed resonate with some people.

But I was born after 85, and my youth was not full of twists and turns. We, the new generation, can face the past more directly and openly, so I deliberately added a lot of jokes and life details..."

"I made this film not to fill a gap in the genre, but because I felt we should also have a film that reflects the youth of the post-80s generation. And youth is not just the youth of men, but also the youth of women... What do you think?"

A group of audience members collectively shouted "Yes!"

“Isn’t this ending too perfect?”

"...Movies, after all, are about making dreams come true. Actually, I wasn't sure if I could invite Mr. Andy Lau... I had two different endings... Luckily, Mr. Andy Lau came... So, the whole ending felt quite satisfying!"

……

After a day of roadshow, we visited 8 cinemas.

In addition to Bona Cinema, basically all the flagship stores in Beijing are not left out.
At this point, reports have already begun online, and most are positive:
"Our Girlhood" received rave reviews from the audience!

My Girlhood: With You in My Youth, I Will Never Let My Girlhood Down

In "My Girlhood", your appearance makes youth beautiful!

Douban's rating is 7.4...it's clearly suppressed—who asked Shen Yan to criticize Li Min? Director Li Min is a god in the eyes of Douban's literary youth! Lust, Caution's Douban rating is as high as 8.7!
Why would you pick on him when you could pick on anyone else?
