This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 165 Live up to your youth, don't leave any regrets!
It was past eleven o'clock when we got back to the hotel.

After taking a shower and eating something, Yang Rui turned on his phone and began to browse the feedback and word-of-mouth on various platforms.

"nice!"

"I declare that "Those Years" is the best youth film I have ever seen!"

"Second, and none of them!"

"I went with a bucket of popcorn and a bucket of potato chips, and ended up not eating much at all, just watching movies."

"The sense of substitution is really good. The details of the interaction between the hero and the heroine really made me dream of going back to high school..."

"That's right, the director really understands it too well, the hazy feeling is just right."

"Why are there so many praises? Are there so many sailors? Why do I feel that this film is boring?"

"Anyway, I almost fell asleep, pretentious, meaningless."

"Leave those bragging brothers, give us a group number, let's make money together!"

"Crazy, you're a trooper, and your whole family is a trooper, so I think this movie is good, why don't you let me talk about it?"

"Orphans are like this, as long as they disagree with them, they are sailors."

"Nine times out of ten, it's from the next door. One thing to say, in comparison, "Days of Youth" is indeed a lot worse."

"What's wrong? I think it's much better than "Those Years", at least it's not so hypocritical!"

"But let's put it down, the movie is just a marginal movie, if it weren't for the limited-rated content, who would watch it?"

"Hey, brother, you know what you're doing. There are really only a few scenes worth watching in that movie."

"Otherwise, what about Zhou Xuan's paralyzed face?"

"Speaking of Zhou Xuan...Last year he arrogantly bullied Yang Rui like an ant, but now he is far away from overtaking in just one year, it's too magical."

"That can't be helped, who made him meet a weirdo, the genius director of yours, it's outrageous."

"I have a hunch that the box office of this movie is going to explode again, Yang Rui is making a lot of money!"

"........."

After looking around, there is still a lot of controversy between praise and criticism, but many of them are cloud viewers who have never seen the movie.

On the contrary, most of those who went to the theater and watched the movie gave good reviews, which made Yang Rui feel relieved.

It seems that the localization of the film was quite successful.

Not long after twelve o'clock, Xu Fang sent the box office summary data at zero o'clock.

As of midnight, the box office on the first day was 2692.15 million!
In just one night, this result is already very good.

Compared with yesterday's "Days of Youth", half a day is only more than 2300 million.

Just like what Ding Lan was worried about, the film's box office on the second day did see a sharp rise, earning 4867.22 million in a single day!
In two days, the cumulative number has exceeded 7000 million.

For a low-cost film, this result is actually not bad.

But Yang Rui wasn't worried at all. First of all, he had full confidence in his films.

Secondly... there have been sporadic doubts and bad reviews about "Youth Flying" on various platforms, and some people even directly scolded it as a "Little King".

Although it is only an isolated phenomenon, it shows that the film studio has lost control of the scene...

Once word of mouth collapses for this kind of film, it is only a matter of time before the box office collapses like a cliff.

Regardless, the producers will be struggling for at least a week.

Under normal circumstances, the box office in the first week basically accounts for more than half of the total box office, so you have to hold on to everything!
After getting the information he wanted, Yang Rui turned off his mobile phone contentedly, turned on his computer and began to review the latest editing samples of "Heroes of Fist of Fury".

…………

Liu Zhou is a code farmer who has just graduated for two years. The high-intensity mental work and endless overtime have already made his brain show signs of thinning.

Once upon a time, he was also a man of the school, but now, at the age of 26, he already has the embryonic form of a greasy uncle.

Several blind dates were arranged during the Chinese New Year, but the girls immediately lost interest when they saw his honor, and when they heard about his income...

Sorry, my girlfriend is in the hospital, I'm going to see her.

Sorry, my dog ​​has diarrhea and I need to take him to the doctor.

Sorry, but you are not my ideal type.

Sorry, I'm not interested in the uncle's style...

Every sleepless and long night, I can only rely on high-tech cups to pass the loneliness.

At zero o'clock in the past, the streets were already deserted.

But today it was almost midnight, but there were still people coming and going on the street, most of them were young lovers.

Looking at the delicate bouquets and gift boxes in the girl's hands, Liu Zhou remembered that it was Qixi Festival...

Seeing those young couples walking into the hotel hand in hand, Liu Zhou felt that he had suffered ten thousand points of critical damage, and he didn't want to go home in an instant.

Why are you going back?The cups are almost rotten, okay?
Why not go back?
Internet cafe all night?

I can't play anymore!
Bongdi looking for an affair?
I'm afraid I can't play with those young ladies!
While hesitating, the little eDonkey happened to pass by the gate of Pacific Studios.

There was a huge promotional poster hanging outside the cinema, the simple and clear words "live up to your youth" quietly touched his heartstrings.

After hesitating for two seconds, he stopped and walked into the theater.

The ticket price for the midnight show was very impressive. With the money saved, Liu Zhou bought a bunch of snacks directly, and planned to go in and eat while watching.

Originally thought that there would be very few people in the midnight show, but who knew that when I went in to have a look... there were only half of the people seated?
And it seems that most of them are couples?

what's the situation?
In the middle of the night, wouldn't it be nice to have some in-depth exchanges, and come here to watch a movie?
Is it because you can't book a room?

Or... because the movie is so good?
After finding the seat with the ticket, Liu Zhou sat down.

The seat is a double seat for couples, but the only ones sitting next to him are potato chips and duck necks.

After gnawing on the duck neck and waiting for a while, the movie started.

After just watching for a few minutes, Liu Zhou couldn't take his eyes off the screen, and the duck neck in his hand didn't seem to smell good anymore.

Every plant, tree, brick and tile in this school is so familiar to him!
This film was actually filmed at his alma mater!

The school uniforms worn by the protagonists are also quite reductive!
In just a few shots, Liu Zhou felt that he was brought back, back to the youthful years that made him so nostalgic...

The countdown calendar on the blackboard, the mountain-like textbooks on the desk, the endless papers in the drawer...

On the podium, the teacher who was angry and mourned for his misfortune, the friend who was in the second grade and funny around him, the goddess in the front row that made him dream...

Everything is like a yellowed memory projected onto the big screen.

Liu Zhou was dumbfounded.

So, he began to be happy with the plot and sad with the plot.

Excited by Xu Xinyi's shyness, anxious by Fang Hanwen's stupidity and childishness.

When watching the two pass each other in the rain and go their separate ways... Liu Zhou cried.

He is greasy now, but he was also handsome back then, and he also had a beautiful first love.

On the day he broke up, the weather was not very cooperative and it didn't rain, but his mood was gloomy for a whole year.

The scene on the screen suddenly awakened that dead memory.

Only at this moment did he realize that he still hadn't let go.

After the movie ended, he stayed in his seat in a daze for a long time, until the cleaning lady came in to clear the scene and drive people away, and then he walked out of the screening hall in a daze.

As soon as he came back to his senses, he took out his phone and opened Weibo, and found the official blog of "Those Years".

Under the promotional Weibo at the top, he left a brief review of his experience watching the movie.

"The movie is very good, I miss her a little bit."

When I walked out of the theater, there was really no one on the street.

On the way home by riding a small electric donkey, he heard the phone beeping non-stop, as if it was all Weibo's message notifications.

When he got home and took out his mobile phone to take a look, he was dumbfounded.

Yang Rui, the director and star of "Those Years", actually replied to his Weibo message in person.

"If you miss her, go tell her. Even if she is already famous, at least give yourself a reason to give up, don't you?"

"Live up to your youth, don't leave any regrets!"
