This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 188, "Ambush from Ten Sides," was met with fierce criticism.
The movie "House of Flying Daggers" was really criticized.

During his break, Chen Yuan went to the cinema with the crew to watch it. Damn, it's basically "Burning Winter" dressed up in ancient costume.

The audience laughed when Song Dandan appeared, and during the final battle, Zhang Ziyi died and came back to life repeatedly, constantly getting up, filling the movie theater with a joyful atmosphere.

It's clear that "House of Flying Daggers" is a showcase of Zhang Yimou's technical skills. The colors are very pleasing, the scenery is breathtaking, and the action scenes of actors like Zhang Ziyi are stunning.

If viewed as another film, "House of Flying Daggers" may have its highlights, but as a martial arts film, it simply fails.

Perhaps after the film's theatrical run, some people will be able to appreciate the beautiful scenery and unique ideas that Zhang Yimou created, but right now, audiences are furiously criticizing it and film critics are vehemently condemning it.

The reason why the outcry is so loud is largely due to Chen Yuan.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he did anything underhanded, it's just that the comparison between "House of Flying Daggers" and "The Edge Walker" is just too stark.

His film "The Edge Walker" has been brought out as a powerful weapon to criticize Zhang Yimou's tendency to prioritize form over content.

The success of "The Edge Walker" has indeed greatly boosted the confidence of the Chinese film industry and movie fans.

'Only blockbusters can save Chinese cinema'

"First came 'Hero,' then 'The Edge Walker,' Chinese films are on the rise."

"Middle-aged directors look to Zhang Yimou, young directors look to Chen Yuan."
Similar optimistic remarks about the film industry have appeared in large numbers in recent months, which have also aroused the simple patriotic feelings of moviegoers who want to support domestic films.

Zhang Weiping, known for his outspokenness, has consistently employed exaggerated marketing tactics with "House of Flying Daggers." While he didn't directly claim that "House of Flying Daggers" was as exciting and entertaining as "The Edge Walker," it still raised suspicions of him trying to piggyback on the success of the original.

Released in March, "The Edge Walker" is a truly high-budget production that has raised audience expectations for action-packed blockbusters.
When people went to the cinema to watch "House of Flying Daggers" hoping for another thrill, most of them naturally experienced a huge disappointment, which in turn led to anger.

It's no surprise that "House of Flying Daggers" suffered a critical and commercial failure.

But Zhang Yimou is Zhang Yimou after all; his brand appeal is still very strong. Even with a barrage of criticism, the film still grossed over 1.5 million yuan.

However, due to the constant flapping of wings by Chen Yuan, the box office revenue is likely to be lower than in the original timeline.

Chen Yuan's impact extends beyond these examples; his influence on the film and television industry is already enormous.

Feng Xiaogang is still trying to make connections and pull strings to try and make a comeback in filmmaking. "A World Without Thieves," which was originally scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year and was supposed to be Feng Xiaogang's first film to gross over 100 million yuan in its first run in mainland China, is now nowhere to be seen.

Chen Laoge's "The Promise" is competing for the Lunar New Year film season a year earlier than the original timeline.

Judging from Chen Hong's complaints, "The Promise" seems to have similar problems to the original version.
However, the original version was released at the end of 2005, and there were no big films competing with it at the time, but this year there is Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle"!

I just hope that Brother Chen can be strong-willed, and that the audience won't lose faith in Chinese films because of "The Promise".

The metaverse will soon produce a bunch of movies that don't engage in formalism and tell good stories seriously, correcting this very distorted and abnormal film market.

Currently, besides Binbin's participation in "My Robot Girlfriend," which has already started filming, Chen Yuan, who just acquired "Hot Pot Hero" from Yi Yi, also asked Ning Hao to put aside his current work and handle this multi-narrative crime action film.

Fruit Chan has officially joined Metaverse. In the second half of this year, three more original Metaverse films—a youth romance, a comedy, and a drama—will begin filming.

Media outlets have already noticed Metaverse's moves in the film market. Although these are all low-budget projects, the core production teams are almost entirely composed of newcomers cultivated by Metaverse itself.

Chen Yuan's ambitious intentions were obvious.

Besides producing hit TV series such as "Seven Swords Legend," "The Legend of the Imperial Doctress," "iPartment," and "Meteor Shower," and also investing in a number of other TV series with similarly high viewership ratings, Metaverse...
It's clear that they're not content with Chen Yuan carrying the film alone; this time they're going to launch a full-scale attack!

Some say he's just messing around, while others are eager to see what kind of commotion the metaverse will make. Many media outlets have booked interviews with him, but he's turned them all down.

We are currently in the stage of focusing on our work, and it is meaningless to express any grand ambitions to the outside world. It is not too late to express our feelings after we have achieved real results.

"Hehehe, that idiot Huang Shengyi thought she really had you under control, but as soon as she left, you decisively and easily won over the great beauty Gao Yuanyuan."

Tang Yan sat on the saddle, leaning back against the man, enjoying the leisurely pleasure of riding a horse through the woods.

The filming of "The World's Number One" is about to be completed, and most of the actors have finished filming. Her scenes are relatively fragmented, so she should be the last to leave the crew. Brother Yuan, on the other hand, has the most scenes and cannot leave.

Tang Yan was very happy. So what if Huang Shengyi was the nominal female lead? So what if she played a couple with Yuan Ge?

In the TV series, he still died, and after filming wrapped, he had to quickly leave the crew to film another TV series.

On the contrary, she spent the most time with Brother Yuan, and therefore knew the whole process of how this womanizer seduced Gao Yuanyuan.

"Brother Yuan, you seem so skilled at this, I'm starting to suspect that you're the one who leaked Zhang Yadong's dirty secrets!"

Chen Yuan held the reins with one hand and gently patted Tangtang's round and firm thigh.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want, Tangtang. What does Zhang Yadong's accident have to do with me? Besides, Yuanyuan had already done *that* before he crashed."

"Hehe, just kidding. But you really are charming, aren't you? You can steal away both married women and girlfriends in love."

"Why do you make me sound like some kind of womanizer?"

Chen Yuan, holding Tangtang, rode on the back of a horse rented by the film crew, strolling leisurely through the mountains and forests.

The film crew was moving to another location, and before that, he finally had some free time to spend with her.

Tangtang undoubtedly likes herself, but compared to Binbin and Yiyi, she is clearly the most clear-headed one. She doesn't lose herself too much, and she will directly ask for any small gifts she wants, and she will try to get benefits for herself.

Chen Yuan thought this was normal and didn't have any problem with her because of it. In fact, he sometimes felt more relaxed being with her.

For example, right now, Tangtang is making fun of her own womanizing without any restraint.
