This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 211, "My Robot Girlfriend," is now available!
Looking at Bao Qiang's simple and honest smiling face, Fan Binbin's frustration and anger were quickly soothed.

She patted Baoqiang, who was half a year younger than her, on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Once the movie is released, all the criticisms against you will disappear."

Wang Baoqiang can be said to be one of the first veteran employees who followed Chen Yuan to build the company. Before the filming of "Legend of Seven Swords" started, he was recruited to the company because he was shooting an advertisement for Wuliangye.

Fan Binbin assumed that Chen Yuan had taken a liking to this hardworking young man and signed him to the company, because the company didn't sign artists casually. Everyone else was a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and Bao Qiang was the most special among the company's artists.

Baoqiang was not highly regarded before and did not have a dedicated agent. Although they would not ignore or forget him, most of the roles assigned to him were unremarkable supporting roles.

The company's other artists all receive far better treatment than those who are kept on the wall, and are almost all being groomed to become top-tier actors and stars.

However, Bao Qiang had no complaints and was very grateful to the company for continuing to assign him work, which was a million times better than before when he was squatting outside the Beijing Film Studio. He was able to earn enough money to bring his parents to live in the capital.

It was precisely because of Bao Qiang's frankness and sincerity that Fan Binbin had a very good first impression of him.

After actually acting in a movie with him, Fan Binbin realized that Chen Yuan's decision to sign Baoqiang might not have been solely based on his liking for this simple, honest country boy.

This guy is a born actor!
It's normal for a person to eat and drink normally, but most people can't do it in a way that shows their true self on camera.

Fan Binbin himself also went through hard training to learn how to not look at the camera when acting.

Wang Baoqiang has never received a day of formal training, yet his acting is more natural and realistic than most of the people Fan Binbin has worked with before.

Many people now laugh at Wang Baoqiang for being unsophisticated, saying he looks exactly like so-and-so from their village.
Actors who can naturally portray the realism of "someone in the village" on camera are extremely rare in the industry.

A person with a good mindset, a willingness to endure hardship, a thirst for knowledge, and a sense of gratitude, who possesses an overwhelming advantage in certain types of roles, is bound to succeed sooner or later.

I really don't know how Chen Yuan managed to sign someone as talented as Bao Qiang to the company so casually.

Despite receiving a lot of negative reviews before its release, no one can deny that the movie was incredibly popular.

Fan Binbin's second film role after Chen Yuan's meticulously crafted portrayal of the 'cyber cool and charming wife' Lucy, is also a robot with sci-fi elements.

This alone is enough to attract a large number of moviegoers who became fans of Fan Binbin because of her role as Lucy and chose to buy tickets to support her.

As for Wang Baoqiang, although he was a bit shabby, from another perspective, he was at least easier to relate to than someone as awesome as Chen Yuan who seemed inhuman, wasn't he?
Without any fancy activities, "My Robot Girlfriend" premiered in major cinemas across the country on February 14th, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Many viewers, especially women, went into the movie theater laughing and came out crying!
[Sobbing, the scene where Binbin risked tearing his own body to save the male lead Fang Yuan really made me cry!]

Binbin is so beautiful, with his student-style haircut, baby face, big eyes, and increasingly hot figure. The "dream lover" label is just perfect for him.

The film features comic-book-like humor and exaggerated comedic moments, as well as genuinely moving emotional storylines that will surely bring you to tears. Seeing it in theaters is definitely worth it!

I've realized we've been too harsh on Wang Baoqiang; his performance in the film didn't pull me out of the story at all.
He perfectly portrayed the character of a withdrawn, insecure, and dreamy rural college student, and his performance during the final scene where he parted ways with the female lead was also very moving!

My girlfriend and I went to see it together. Watching such a deeply moving, bittersweet, and beautifully romantic movie on Valentine's Day was absolutely perfect.

The love story between a strong woman and a weak man reminds me of "My Sassy Girl," which was a hit across Asia a few years ago.
Fans of "My Sassy Girl" shouldn't miss "My Girlfriend is a Robot"—it's sure to move you.

On online forums and message boards, many netizens shared their first impressions immediately after watching the film, with the vast majority of viewers giving it a positive review.

Some people even compared Binbin's robot character in the movie to Lucy.

[While the scene where Binbin sacrificed himself to save others, tearing himself in two, was very moving, I had a question at the time: if Lucy were modified like that, wouldn't she develop cybernetic psychosis?]

[When Binbin was moving at high speed, a guy next to me said, "Holy crap, S.A.S.A.!" which almost made me burst out laughing!]

[Given the speed and strength Binbin displayed in the movie, could she defeat the Terrorist Mobile Squad?] [With robots produced in a world that has developed time-travel abilities, wouldn't they easily crush the outdated cyberpunk technology in "The Edge Walker"?]

Thanks to Binbin's immense box office appeal accumulated over the years, "My Girlfriend is a Robot" earned 1500 million yuan on its opening day with 21% of the screenings.

Although it capitalized on the Valentine's Day hype, it's only been a short time since the Lunar New Year. These days, there's practically no such thing as a Spring Festival film season; a large portion of the movie-going population in the cities has gone back to their hometowns for the holidays.
It can only be said that the release date was neither good nor bad, but achieving such results is enough to prove Fan Binbin's strong box office carrying ability.

The film has received very high praise from various media outlets.

[The film avoids the hardcore, mind-bending elements of traditional sci-fi movies, instead using clear emotional logic to connect the plot. The story revolves around protection and growth, with science fiction on the surface and emotion at its core, making it a heartwarming sci-fi masterpiece suitable for all ages.]

—Film critic Zhou Liming.

The film's emotional highlight lies in the robot girlfriend's emotional evolution, from an emotionless machine to a human willing to sacrifice for love.

All the humorous moments ultimately transform into touching moments for the audience, allowing them to experience a 'robot-human love' that is even more moving than human love itself!

—The Capital Youth Daily

The film transcends the boundaries between science fiction and romance, exploring the essence of love and companionship.

—Film Biweekly

Although Chen Yuan didn't act in the movie, he created a truly 'perfect girlfriend' character for Fan Binbin—loyal, cute, sexy, and capable. It's safe to say Chen Yuan understands Fan Binbin perfectly!

——NetEase Entertainment

[Using a sci-fi shell to wrap the most sincere emotions. It lacks hard science fiction settings, but uses trendy elements like time loops and robot awakening to give science fiction a human touch. Metaverse truly lives up to its reputation as a film and entertainment company that understands its audience and the market best.]

—China Film Report

Binbin's portrayal of the robot was praised as the 'perfect girlfriend,' a sentiment echoed by many viewers.
Wang Baoqiang, who played the uneducated college student, received much praise and recognition for his vivid performance and was awarded the title of "Most Envied Actor".

Because Fan Binbin's real boyfriend is already so popular that others can't even dream of him, but for Baoqiang to be able to play a couple with Binbin is something that makes people extremely envious!

With the cooperation of Metaverse's public relations and marketing team, the film's positive word-of-mouth spread, and the box office revenue on the second day not only did not decrease but increased, reaching more than 1700 million.

Chen Yuan, who was far away in the United States, was also in high spirits upon receiving the good news about the film.

The film's production costs are largely recouped through sponsorships and product placements, so losing money is no longer an option; it's pure profit now.

Chen Yuan had seen the rough cut of the film when he was in China, and the localization adaptation was quite good.
Bao Qiang's portrayal of the rural college student protagonist is clearly superior in terms of character development and subtle details compared to Bao Beier's 'Chinese translation'.

For the past few years, he has been giving screenwriters ideas and having them collaborate on the creative process. This unusual approach has indeed brought him countless surprises and can be considered a great success.

Just as Chen Yuan was racking his brains, thinking of some novel ideas from TV series and movies he still remembered from his later life, wanting to continue feeding them to the company's screenwriters so that they could continue to create high-quality content, Alvin found him.

Then, Chen Yuan's mind was completely thrown into turmoil by the news brought by Alvin.

"What? Columbia Pictures wants me to make a sequel and sequel to The Matrix, just like the Wachowski brothers did???"

"Yes, they're all stories that take place in Night City, so there should be a lot of common scenes. Filming them in a row saves time and costs."
