Chapter 493: They are all acquaintances, not easy to praise

"One Step Away" describes the personal epic of Ma Zuriri's journey into Shanghai in the absurd era of Beiyang.

From a performance point of view, Jiang Wen's performance indeed presents different aspects of the character, creating an alternative hero image that is rare in the history of Chinese films and "lives up to others and does not surrender to the world".

Zhou Yun and Shu Qi also played women with completely different backgrounds.

They all love Ma Zuuri, and their pursuit of love is moving.

However, Ge You's appearance still maintains his status as the best actor, with a sinister sense of humor and ease.

So many viewers were shocked by this momentum, and even doubted themselves: maybe they didn't understand it, not because the film was bad, but because they were too stupid, right?
Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu with doubts and confusion in her eyes.

"Amu, do you understand?"

Liu Yifei asked cautiously, for fear of being overheard.

Li Mu suppressed his laughter. In the dark cinema, no one could see clearly his expression of laughter. Instead, he said seriously, "I understand, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay."

Liu Yifei blinked her confused eyes and muttered secretly, "Am I really too stupid?"

"Amu, if you interview me later, how should I answer?"

Liu Yifei still felt that it was not safe and she couldn't understand it. What if she said the wrong thing later?
"If you can't tell the content, let's talk about the visuals. If you can't tell the essence, just the scenes. If you can't tell the connotation, just the acting skills. Do you still need me to teach you?"

Li Mu boasted.

Liu Yifei nodded quickly, looking like she had been taught something.

At this time, most other viewers, including Liu Yifei, fell into self-doubt.

This is how everyone saw the story end.

However, many media guessed the beginning, but failed to guess the ending.

"One Step Away" had a high-end and classy premiere, with almost all the main creators present, but the applause after the movie was not as enthusiastic as the moment when the audience saw the dragon mark at the beginning.

Thin bursts of applause came from all directions.

Maybe it was because there was so much disappointment as there were expectations, and the audience gradually became silent.

The premiere ends at 15pm on the 10th.

The main creators were once again invited to the stage to communicate with the audience, and the media reporters also braced themselves for the event.

However, perhaps because the film has not yet been officially released for fear of spoilers, or due to other considerations, several of the main creators refused to comment directly on the spot.

When asked about his feelings about watching the movie, Ge You laughed happily:

"I'll go back and think about it."

Wang Zhiwen also followed suit and did Tai Chi:
"It's a delicious meal, I'll digest it."

Only Zhou Yun gave the most direct praise:
"I didn't expect Jiang Wen to make such a beautiful movie."

Compared to those around him who were slightly shaken in their confidence, Jiang Wen's affirmation of his new film remained firm on the surface, without changing his expression, and he bluntly said that he was very satisfied with this work.

And in his opinion, there is a high probability that the audience has not yet recovered.

It is estimated that you will hear praises from all directions on social media soon, especially from film critics, after all, their level is slightly higher.

When the reporters saw that the main creator could not get enough information, they turned to some invited guests.

"Well, Director Jiang, can you interview the guests at the premiere?"

"Of course, if they want to."

Jiang Wen was not afraid at all.

Ever since, the first row was being interviewed by reporters one after another.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei's area became the hardest hit area.

Many people and reporters looked at Li Mu eagerly.

"Director Li, what do you think of "One Step Away"?"

As soon as the question came out, not only the creators on the stage looked forward to it, but also the audience and other guests behind them all turned their attention.

“They are all acquaintances, not easy to praise!!!”

Under a burst of gaze, Li Mu said lightly.

"Hey, let's just say that everyone here is acquaintances. It would be really embarrassing if I praised you too much."

Li Mu's words seemed to be the sound of nature in Jiang Wen's ears, and he immediately felt refreshed. No wonder no one in the interview just wanted to praise them. It turned out to be the truth.

The reporters looked at Li Mu with speechless expressions, as if to say, "I don't know yet that you want to practice Tai Chi, but you refuse to tell me?"

It seems that Li Mu can't find any aniseed here.

The reporters immediately turned their microphones to Liu Yifei.

"Effie, how do you feel about watching this?"

Once again, everyone's attention was attracted.

Liu Yifei's brain was working rapidly, but she was rejoicing in her heart, "Fortunately, I am smart and well prepared, and asked in time."

Then Liu Yifei said with a smile on her face: "The scene is very gorgeous, and what impressed me most is the huge moon."

These words seemed to have been said, but they did not get to the point at all.

The reporters felt very depressed. When did Liu Yifei become like this? Interviews are a black hole. At least you should also be a black hole.

Then he looked at the serious Li Mu.

The resentment in my heart suddenly rose, "It's all my fault this Li Mu, nine times out of ten it was him who taught me bad things."

Everyone looked at each other and reached an agreement, but they had no choice but to ask other people.

The other guests are all old foxes, and they can't even ask why. In this way, this grand premiere seemed to end somewhat anticlimactically.

Before Li Mu left, he patted Jiang Wen's shoulder and hesitated to speak, but felt it was not necessary. After all, Jiang Wen's heart was really big.

"Director Li, what do you want to say?"

Zhou Yun looked at the leaving figures of Li Mu and Liu Yifei, feeling a little uneasy.

"Lao Li means it. Don't worry. He told you everything. They are all acquaintances. It's not easy to praise him."

Jiang Wen was careless and indifferent, how could such a wonderful movie fail, "And I'm almost 52 years old soon. It's really good to watch this movie. It's interesting. It has everything you want. It's what the audience wants to see. It's not something that you can usually watch." inside."

Seeing this, Zhou Yun's uneasiness gradually disappeared.

On the other side, Liu Yifei still felt something was wrong.

"Amu, do you really understand?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but asked again.

“I understand, it’s empty and boring.”

Li Mu smiled and touched Liu Yifei's little head.

"Ha, let me tell you, you are bluffing me, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Liu Yifei hummed and said that when it was shown in the cinema, she thought she was so stupid.

"Sometimes, you have to trust your eyes and feelings."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh loudly.

The two of them were very happy chasing after each other.

However, contrary to the "reservation" of the main creator, netizens at the premiere unceremoniously gave negative reviews, saying "One Step Away" on Weibo was a bad movie.

"It's full of all kinds of superficial elements, but there is no story. All kinds of technical expressions make this movie just like loud music, with only technology and no soul."

"I can't believe that this and Let the Bullets Fly were filmed by the same Jiang Wen. It's so bad that I doubt it was just a random shot to make his wife happy!"

"Jiang Wen is too confident, the media is too god-like, and he is too pretentious and aloof, too far away from the earth. He is 100 "If You Are the One" short of "Let the Bullets Fly."

What everyone says is good may not really be good. But no one said it was bad and no one said it was good. It was really not good.

According to the "law of favor within the circle", the reputation of "One Step Away" is indeed tragic.

The first wave of negative comments fermented overnight and swept across Weibo.

Comments such as "I don't understand", "No soul", "Too narcissistic", etc. came out of nowhere overnight, catching people off guard so quickly.

These negative reviews became headlines in the entertainment pages of various media outlets on the morning of the 16th. ""One Step Away" suffered negative reviews overnight" became the theme of these news.

"Director Jiang is in big trouble."

After Liu Yifei woke up, she found that the media was overwhelmingly clamoring that "the talent of Jiang Lang is exhausted".

"It's not troublesome, it's just like "The Sun Also Rises" back then."

Li Mu glanced at these reports. Some were adding fuel to the fire, some were fanning the flames, and some were written truthfully. Anyway, there were all kinds of reports.

"One Step Away" is actually more like Jiang Wen coming out of the wine shop where he worked hard and studying, and trying to sell the unfinished grape juice directly to the audience.

Joining the ranks of selling and hawking a feast of sweet grape juice, whether voluntarily or by force, "One Step Away" at least has done so.

However, Jiang Wen still tried to explain on Weibo online why people didn't understand.

"The screening on the 15th was too late, and the audience was also older. Most of them were elderly people and had children. They had to wait in the cold for such a long time. There must be dissatisfaction. Even though they understood it, they said they didn't understand it."

"."

As for the bad reviews that appeared online, Jiang Wen believed that because they were all friends, to borrow Li Mu's meaning, they were embarrassed to praise, "If they want to say they can't stop, I'm probably embarrassed."

After Li Mu read it, he couldn't help but laugh. Good guy, Jiang Wen is really the one who can do this, and he's still deceiving himself.

Despite this, "One Step Away" has already sold 3 million in pre-sales, and the first-day preview accounted for 61.48%!

But Li Mu still has to go to the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" today.

"Go!"

Li Mu saw that Liu Yifei was still unmoved and didn't quite understand.

"Amu, I don't want to go."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll be asked again how to watch this movie. I ran out of excuses yesterday and can't use them today." Liu Yifei muttered and looked at Li Mu pitifully.

Hearing this, Li Mu burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, you will understand this time."

"It's hard to say. Director Xu's movies are sometimes difficult to understand. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Li Mu was a little curious.

"Unless you help me out when I'm asked, I'll go."

Liu Yifei hugged the quilt and rolled on the bed. She was so cute.

"Okay, okay, I can't stand you, hurry up."

Li Mu was immediately defeated and quickly surrendered.

"Hehe, okay, wait for me for a while."

Liu Yifei immediately jumped up, put on these cute little fluffy cotton shoes and ran to the cloakroom.
