This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 264 This movie is amazing!
In order to write insightful film reviews and gain followers in the shortest amount of time,

Li Xiaoyu rewatched the first two films the night before the release of "The Edge Walker 3".

She really loves this movie series. At first, she was deeply attracted by Lucy, who was crazy and excessively beautiful, played by Fan Binbin.

Then I was amazed by the film's exciting action sequences and unique art style.

Chen Yuan's film "The Edge Walker" directly brought Chinese cinema to a whole new level.

Although this film, whether in its core message, its depiction of neighborhood gang culture, or anything else, has absolutely nothing to do with traditional Chinese films,

Even now, there are still people who say that "The Edge Walker" is purely a Hollywood movie and not a Chinese movie. I really don't know what kind of thought process those people have.

Chen Yuan's success has set an excellent example for the mainland film market.
It not only trained and developed a large group of worldly-wise film crew members,
It also encourages domestic filmmakers to innovate in terms of subject matter, rather than rushing to make so-called "martial arts blockbusters".

The more Li Xiaoyu learned about "The Edge Walker," the more she admired Chen Yuan, and the more she felt sorry that such a talented filmmaker could no longer make movies.

After Li Xiaoyu posted a blurry photo of a movie ticket she took with her phone on Weibo, she deliberately blocked messages from viewers who had seen the midnight screening.
With a mix of excitement and regret, Li Xiaoyu went out to witness the true final act of Chen Yuan, this legendary figure.

The movie theater was newly built, and its decor was more stylish and sophisticated than any she had ever been to before, with a more rational use of space.

The show she wanted to see was at 11:30 a.m., and the cinema had scheduled a batch of early screenings around 8:30 a.m. She arrived an hour early because she was so excited.

Just as Li Xiaoyu was chatting with her QQ friends on her phone, she saw a few people leaving the theater ahead of time.

Ok?
Judging from the girl's clothing, she must have come from the theater showing "The Edge Walker".

She glanced at the time on her phone; there was still more than half an hour until the movie ended. Why were they leaving without finishing the movie?

The girl's eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was sorrowful. Li Xiaoyu was deeply shocked!
She knew that, according to basic screenwriting logic, the ending of "The Edge Walker" was destined to be a tragedy.

But what kind of plot could make someone leave the theater before they could even finish watching the ending?
Over the next half hour, people gradually left early, all sighing and lamenting, which made Li Xiaoyu even more curious about the movie's plot.

Li Xiaoyu was completely stunned when the movie ended and the first group of early viewers left!
It was practically impossible to see any audience members with normal expressions. Regardless of gender, everyone's eyes were red, and some even had swollen eyes from crying, requiring their companions to help them walk.

The crowd waiting to have their tickets checked in the ticket hall immediately became agitated. Was it really necessary to be so dramatic?

Li Xiaoyu saw some girls go directly to the counter, buy several packs of tissues, and put them in their pockets.

The girl next to me clearly knew another girl who had just watched a movie, and they sat down together.

"Wow, Mengfan, what did you see? Your eyes are all red!"

The girl who had just sat down pulled a tissue from her pocket and wiped her moist eyes, saying in a slightly choked voice:

"This movie is really amazing, Lanlan. I suggest you sell the tickets to scalpers right away!"

Even I can't handle it! You get so easily moved to tears while watching TV dramas, I'm afraid you'll actually cry yourself to sleep!

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Whether it's an exaggeration or not, just look at how the other audience members left the theater and you'll know."

I genuinely saw the girl in the seat in front of me crying uncontrollably, and afterwards, the sound of sniffling and sobbing never stopped throughout the entire hall. "Oh my god, that's terrifying!"

Li Xiaoyu was prepared for the girl who had seen the movie to spoil it and leave, because she hated having the plot spoiled beforehand when watching a movie.

However, the girl was only trying to scare her friend named Lanlan, and seemed to be afraid that her friend wasn't crying hard enough, so she didn't tell the specific plot.

Li Xiaoyu herself was also stirred up with excitement. Fortunately, her theater soon started checking tickets, and she would soon be able to see what the final installment of "The Edge Walker" would be like.

The seats were towards the back, not the best viewing spots, but they were free tickets given to me by Weibo, so what more could I ask for?
Moreover, the movie screen is larger than the theaters I remember, so the viewing experience should be more immersive.

Sitting in the soft, comfortable chair, Li Xiaoyu looked around and saw the girl who had just been scared by her friend sitting two rows in front of her on the left.

She could see the other person's actions at a glance, and thought to herself that she would wait and see if the girl would cry herself to sleep in her seat, just like her friend had said.

A boy with glasses and a buzz cut sat down next to her. The more Li Xiaoyu looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. Still unsure, she mustered her courage and asked:
"Are you Teacher Zhou Liming?"

Zhou Liming, who was adjusting his bulky down jacket, paused, looked at the pretty young woman beside him, and hesitated slightly before replying:

"Uh, I am Zhou Liming."

"Oh my, it really is you! I've seen your photos and lecture videos on Weibo, and I thought you looked just like me. I never expected to meet you here."

I especially love your film reviews; they've given me a lot of inspiration!

Zhou Liming couldn't help but smile. Although he was one of the most famous film critics in China, film critics were a very niche group in the country, and very few people knew him.

This is the first time I've been recognized by fans while watching a movie.

Zhou Liming noticed that the girl was holding a notebook and a pen, clearly for taking notes and writing a movie review, so he asked, "Are you also working in the media industry?"

"No, no, I just wrote some random film and television reviews, and luckily I attracted a group of fans."

Zhou Liming realized that Weibo, as a social media platform, is indeed very interesting.

Previously, he could only publish his film reviews in magazines and periodicals, and it was difficult for him to know what readers thought or what different opinions they had.

But since I started writing movie reviews on Weibo, I've been able to get timely feedback, which has been a really fun experience.

He now spends more than an hour on Weibo every day, and Weibo has gradually become his main platform for producing content.

In subsequent chats, Zhou Liming also discovered that Ms. Li Xiaoyu, like him, had received her first-day complimentary ticket from Weibo's official platform.

This shows that the other party was not humbly saying that they were just "writing random things for fun," but had actually gained a certain influence through their creative content.

Since they were practically colleagues, Zhou Liming enthusiastically chatted with the other person about their respective experiences using Weibo.

After the pre-movie commercials finished playing, "The Edge Walker 3" officially began screening.
